• Qin Leng summoned Nightmare, Isis, and others, then privately told Lin Feng to infiltrate the Chaos Splitter and save Sequence 011 so he could bring Lin Feng to Sequence 009 alive.
• After sending everyone away, Qin Leng looked toward a blue figure overhead and said her wish would be fulfilled.

Dragon Kiss captured Thousand Throats at the Longwu Empire's border, but Lin Feng and Gawain arrived to free him and defeat Dragon Kiss. Dragon Feast then appeared, forcing Lin Feng, Gawain, and Thousand Throats to flee toward the Outer Sea Continent, where Sequence 009 was located.

Sequence 009 used All-Things Fusion to possess Thousand Throats and briefly fuse with Lin Feng, then planned for the Empire to confront the united Central Continent. In Lin Feng’s Dreamscape, Nightmare revealed that he believed the leader had lost his true self and proposed killing him if nothing else could stop him.

• Sequence 009 fused with Thousand Throats, gained control of his body, and summoned the God-Slaying Spear, though his other abilities remained sealed.
• Sequence 009 fused with Lin Feng but could not control him; a golden light flashed from Lin Feng’s spatial ring during the fusion.
• Lin Feng told Sequence 009 about the Central Continent’s alliance, and Sequence 009 considered seeking help against its overwhelming power.
• In Imperial Year 401, the Empire asked neighboring kingdoms to join its campaign against the new world, but their people and gods remained hostile; the Central Continent prepared its armies under the Dragon Empire.
• In Imperial Year 402, Nightmare visited Lin Feng’s Dreamscape and urged him not to stop the coming war, saying the leader’s behavior seemed unlike Qin Leng.
• Nightmare told Lin Feng that the leader might have lost his true self and said they would kill him if necessary, recalling the leader’s wish to end his own life if that happened.

Lin Feng and Nightmare concluded that crowns might protect their wearers from mental control and planned ways to free the Leader, including seeking Number 039. The next day, Sequence 009 fused with Lin Feng and ordered him to find a Third Tier being to kill.

• Lin Feng tested Nightmare’s mental ability and discovered that his crown let him escape the Eternal Dream.

• Sequence 009 lent Lin Feng his Chaos 01 holy armor and sent him, Thousand Throats, and others to subdue Third Tier Sequences and recruit forces for the New World campaign.

Sequence 009’s forces crushed the Central Continent’s cold-weapon armies with modern technology, but Ye Long allied with Meng Qing and used magic to turn the war around. Sequence 009 launched a decapitation mission against the Golden King, whose attackers reached his palace and confronted him.

• Adolf forced Phoenix to send troops, and Sequence 009 gathered the Outer Sea Continents for war against the Central Continent.

• The five attackers reached the Golden King in his temple, where he offered to pay them thirty times their fee to abandon the mission.

Arthur and the others fought the Golden King and his hidden bodyguard, Martial Sovereign Chun Lei, whose ability turned their attacks back on them. After they trapped Chun Lei in a spatial rift, the Golden King revealed a powerful golden sword that froze them and summoned blades above them.

• Arthur, Lin Feng, Thousand Throats, and the centaur escaped the Sword Hanging Overhead with Paper Men, while Gawain transformed into energy to survive its attack.
• Lin Feng threw the Holy Grenade into the temple, and the blast carved a massive crater and destroyed half of Oasis City.

• Sequence 009 appeared and destroyed Gungnir with the God-Slaying Spear, stopping the other divine artifacts.
• The Golden King gathered the captives and offered Sequence 009 a choice between their lives and the God-Slaying Spear.

Sequence 009 rejected the Golden King's forced choice between the God-Slaying Spear and his companions, then joined with Arthur and defeated him. As the spear pierced the Golden King, his memories revealed how Chen Ye had twisted his wish to escape greed's vortex into a money-related ability.

• The Golden King threatened to kill Arthur and the others unless Sequence 009 gave up the God-Slaying Spear, and Sequence 009 hesitated before lowering it.
• Sequence 009 called out to Arthur, who merged with Nairasojin and broke free using the God-Slaying Spear.
• Sequence 009 declared that he wanted both his companions and the spear, then joined with Arthur to unleash Absolute Sever and Absolute Pierce against the Golden King.

• As the Golden King was mortally wounded, he recalled his father's lessons about money and his wish to escape the vortex and revive his family.
• The Golden King remembered that Chen Ye had granted him a money-related ability that trapped him in the greed he had wanted to escape.

Sequence 009 killed the Golden King and fled before Ye Long’s forces arrived, prompting Ye Long to send more fighters to the New Continent. In Hell Space, Isis used the Golden King’s Hogyoku to revive him, but the God-Slaying Spear’s wound still left him on the brink of death as he addressed Qin Leng.

• Sequence 009 killed the Golden King with the God-Slaying Spear, then escaped when Ye Long and the others arrived.
• Meng Qing and Ye Long found no body or crown, and Ye Long ordered Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother sent to the New Continent to kill whoever they wanted.
• Isis found a glowing blue gemstone in the Golden King’s hand, but its power caused a Mental Shock when she touched it.
• Isis placed the gemstone into the Golden King’s chest and used Revival of the Dead, whereupon the Hogyoku transformed and revived him.
• The Golden King explained that the Hogyoku granted immortality but could not overcome the God-Slaying Spear’s wound, then greeted Qin Leng while his life force continued to leak away.

Isis returned from Hell Space as Qin Leng revived the Golden King and asked for his help, while concealing that Sequence 007’s power had imprinted an uncontrollable wish on him. Qin Leng revealed a desperate plan to save every Sequence and hinted that someone powerful stood behind him, leaving the Golden King to decide how to help.

• Isis left Hell Space and returned to show her face before Ye Long, and the Golden King thanked Qin Leng and the others for reviving him.
• Qin Leng could not tell the Golden King that Sequence 007’s imprint forced him to pursue a wish he could not control, including hoping someone would kill him and carry on his will.
• Qin Leng considered finding an heir to kill the Goddess of Love and all Sequences, or having Sequence 009 and Chaos Splitter replace him and the Nine-Tailed Fox.
• Qin Leng told the Golden King that he wanted to save everyone in the game, and the Golden King questioned how that goal fit Qin Leng’s former role of containing Sequences.
• Qin Leng described a plan to save more Sequences at the nine-hundred-year time point, hinting that a fifth-tier person stood behind him.
• The Golden King wondered whether to help Qin Leng break free of that person or instead help him fulfill his current wish.

Meng Qing used the Fate Thread with Mistra to trace Qin Leng’s actions and divine the shifting prospects of Ye Long and Sequence 009. As Sequence 009 prepared a prolonged war against the Central Continent, the chapter ended with Lin Feng’s knowledge of the Starry Sky Principal’s magic drawing attention to a possible Fifth Tier advantage.

• Meng Qing and Mistra used the Fate Thread to follow a chain of events that revealed Qin Leng’s involvement and suggested that someone else might be controlling him.
• Meng Qing divined that the outcome concerning Qin Leng was unfavorable and found that both Ye Long and Sequence 009 were where fate lay, though he could not tell what that meant.
• Meng Qing set aside his fixation on fate but remained uncertain about Qin Leng and the danger connected to Sequence 009.
• The chapter outlined the crowns, alliances, and limited forces available to the Central Continent as Sequence 009 targeted the Golden King, Meng Qing, and Mistra.

• Meng Qing saw a blue-haired woman through Qin Leng’s perspective, and his right pupil turned heart-shaped until Mistral severed their connection.
• Mistral warned Meng Qing against using his information-gathering ability again, and he went to sleep for three days.
• Meng Qing woke and told Mistral that Sequence 007 had evolved, was behind Qin Leng, and had helped Isis conceal her ability from Ancestor Dragon and take Golden King’s corpse.
• Meng Qing warned that Sequence 009 might turn the Magic Web against them, but he told Mistral to keep access open so others would grow dependent on it.
• Meng Qing’s empire used the Magic Web to train two Demon Kings and Great Sages, creating a force that Sequence 009 feared challenging.

Meng Qing found the Lord of the Morning Star hiding in the ruins and recruited him to aid their side, especially with advancing magic. Meanwhile, Lin Feng joined the Chaos Splitter more formally after Sequence 009 removed his Chaos Holy Armor and demanded his loyalty.

• Meng Qing and Ye Long searched the Shattered Empire ruins, and Meng Qing forced the Lord of the Morning Star to reveal himself by threatening Lin Feng and Gawain.
• Meng Qing offered the Lord of the Morning Star a chance to regain Sequence power through an alliance, then pressed him to reveal his contingencies and ties to the demon.
• The Lord of the Morning Star admitted he had allied with the demon, while Meng Qing concealed what he knew about Isis and sought the mage's knowledge of fifth-rank magic.
• Lin Feng offered a magic book to Sequence 009 and asked for the Chaos Holy Armor to be given to someone else.
• Sequence 009 removed Lin Feng's armor, welcomed him as family, and warned him that betrayal of the Chaos Splitter was unacceptable.
