Chapter Summaries

Ye Long considered the secrets and suspicions hidden among his allies, including 004’s other children, while Nairasojin struggled to learn advanced magic from Lin Feng’s book. The chapter left Nairasojin frustrated by how complex the new magical formulas were.

• Ye Long’s fifth and sixth sons, Nage and Yebu, were described as monstrous twins whose appearance threatened the Twin Dragons Cult’s standing and suited the Mother Goddess Church’s beliefs.
• Ye Long reflected that Isis had joined the alliance under pressure, Meng Qing likely possessed Death Gun’s crown, and the Golden King had concealed his combat strength.
• Ye Long recognized that 004 had borne other children without telling him, but chose not to expose her secrets.
• On the Outer Sea Continent, Nairasojin studied Lin Feng’s magic book and found its theories far more advanced than the magic he had previously practiced.
• Nairasojin struggled with the elaborate requirements of the Water Dragon King spell and wondered why he had accepted the job.

Nairasojin was left to research magic while Lin Feng pursued the thief who had stolen the Moon Bow and encountered the Blasphemous Twins, Nage and Yebu. After the twins escaped, Sequence 081, Odin, revealed their direction and introduced himself to Lin Feng.

• Chaos Splitter assigned Nairasojin to research magic while Adolf, Lord of Flesh and Blood, and the Priest managed the country, and Centaur and Thousand Throats hunted the thief who stole the Moon Bow.
• Lin Feng met a white-eyed man named Nage, who recognized him as the killer of Dragon Sui and said the Dragon God wanted him dead.
• Gawain attacked Nage, but Yebu burst from Nage's shadow and knocked Gawain back before the twins revealed themselves as Nage and Yebu.
• Nage attacked Lin Feng with tentacles and a tongue bearing an infant's head, while Yebu fought Gawain with tentacles and stretching arms.
• Lin Feng, Centaur, and Thousand Throats pressed the twins, who vanished by entering each other's bodies and shadows.
• An old man named Odin appeared, told Lin Feng the twins had fled west, and identified himself as Sequence 081.

Lin Feng encountered Odin, an unknown Sequence who forced him to relive the memory of the fire that killed his parents and claimed the arsonist was still alive and had become a Sequence. Odin vanished, and everyone else forgot he had been there, leaving Lin Feng to record what happened and question whether he could trust his own memories.

• Lin Feng, Thousand Throats, and the centaur confronted Odin, who said he was not there to see 009 and called Lin Feng weak.
• Odin struck Lin Feng and drew his soul into a vision of the fire and a memory of Lin Feng's uncle in the stairwell.
• A voice told Lin Feng that his uncle had set the fire, survived it, and become a Sequence before Lin Feng.
• Lin Feng broke free of the illusion, but Odin had disappeared, and Thousand Throats and the centaur denied ever seeing him.
• Lin Feng asked 009 and Nightmare about Sequence 081, then wrote down the encounter because he feared he might forget it too.
• Lin Feng considered whether Odin's claims were true or whether the encounter itself had been an illusion.

Lin Feng recalled his uncle’s suspicious actions before the fire that killed his parents, then realized Sequence 009 feared that his uncle might be Chen Ye. The next day, Lin Feng found a record of events he could no longer remember, while an old man attacked the Blasphemous Twins in the Outer Sea Continent.

• Lin Feng told Sequence 009 that his uncle had been called Chen and had worked as a biology professor who kept birds, prompting Sequence 009 to suspect he was Chen Ye and abruptly end the conversation.
• Lin Feng found a note in his own handwriting describing his encounter with an old man and the memory loss affecting Thousand Throats and the others, but he could not remember writing it.
• The Blasphemous Twins prepared to smash a crystal ball among a pile of corpses when an old man seized them and threw them to the ground.
• The old man restrained Nage and Yebu, declared that they would soon forget what happened, and prepared to act on them.

Lin Feng tracked down Sequence 065, Aznan, to question him about people named Chen, but Gawain killed Aznan and turned on Lin Feng after taking a crown. Odin manipulated Gawain and crossed Aznan off his list before Sequence 009 confronted him about the forgotten Sequence 081.

• Lin Feng entered Aznan’s country and demanded to know where the Dark Mage was, but Aznan appeared and confronted him with armed soldiers.
• Aznan destroyed Lin Feng’s Spiral Sword with his antimatter ability, but Gawain appeared behind Aznan and held a sword to his neck.
• Lin Feng questioned Aznan about his real name and whether he knew any Sequences surnamed Chen, but Gawain suddenly beheaded him before he could answer.
• Gawain took a crown and attacked Lin Feng as Odin urged him to kill Lin Feng and reclaim the Star Empire; Odin then crossed Aznan’s name off his list.
• Sequence 009, fused with Arthur, blocked Odin’s escape and demanded to know what he remembered about Sequence 081.

Sequence 009 fought Odin, who escaped after losing an arm to the God-Slaying Spear, while Lin Feng and Gawain’s battle ended with Gawain dead and Aznan’s crown recovered. Lin Feng turned away from the Nine-Tailed Fox, and Sequence 009 told him it was time to go home.

• Odin took the God-Slaying Spear from Sequence 009, but the spear flew back and severed Odin’s arm before he escaped.
• Sequence 009 and Arthur speculated that Odin was not a Sequence and might possess power beyond Tier Five or the Sacred Domain.
• Gawain told Lin Feng he had followed him to seize his crown for the Lord of the Morning Star and restore the Star Empire.
• Arthur and Sequence 009 intervened when Gawain wounded Lin Feng, and Sequence 009 fused with Lin Feng and lent him the God-Slaying Spear.
• Lin Feng used the God-Slaying Spear to kill Gawain, then decided the Nine-Tailed Fox was not where he belonged.
• Aznan’s crown fell to the ground, and Sequence 009 separated from Lin Feng and told him to take it and go home.

The Blasphemous Twins pressured Ye Long into recognizing them, while Li Yuan learned from Mo that the flaw in his seal was a false proposition. Mo proposed that half the sequences could win by forming an alliance, though Li Yuan doubted they could cooperate.

• Ye Long stored Odin's severed arm in his divine artifact vault and remained wary of Odin after Lin Feng defected to the Chaos Splitter and revealed Qin Leng's information.
• Nage and Yebu confronted Ye Long and demanded recognition as his sons, using the captured Long Qi to pressure him.
• Ye Long agreed to recognize the twins, but privately considered them dangerous liabilities; 004 defended them and appeared to be pregnant again.
• Li Yuan reflected on his stalled plans and tried to discover the fatal flaw in his seal while repeatedly falling asleep.
• Mo visited Li Yuan and revealed that the seal's apparent flaw was a hypothetical false proposition that Li Yuan had been expected to solve.
• Mo suggested that half the sequences forming an alliance could win the game, but Li Yuan pointed out that people might fail to cooperate even when victory seemed simple.

Li Yuan explained why his plan depended on the Central Continent and Outer Sea Continent fighting until one side emerged victorious, and warned Mo that uniting the two camps would drive weaker Sequences into rebellion. Mo insisted on acting despite the risks, and Li Yuan considered cooperating with him as the game passed its halfway point.

• Li Yuan described his plan to let the Central Continent and Outer Sea Continent fight, with Ye Long and Sequence 009 as their opposing pillars, while noting that crowns and outside agitators had delayed the decisive battle.
• Mo proposed linking the two factions through alliances, but Li Yuan argued that the crown limits would force weaker Sequences toward a desperate revolt and another confrontation.
• Li Yuan explained to Mo that resistance by the weak could overturn the balance of power, citing historical examples and his own use of mind control to prevent rebellion after unifying Earth.
• Mo told Li Yuan he was sick of waiting and would try to change things whether or not Li Yuan helped him.
• Li Yuan summoned the Dragon Slayer's crown and admitted he did not trust Mo, but Mo said they could still cooperate toward becoming gods.

Angel Mo proposed that he and Li Yuan eliminate weaker Third Order Sequences and collect Crowns to control the path to victory. Angel Mo sought Sequence 001's support on the Central Continent, but it agreed to consider an alliance only after he had secured the remaining Sequences.

• Angel Mo and Li Yuan planned to target Third Order Sequences, with Angel Mo approaching Sequence 009's allies while Li Yuan approached Dragon's alliance.
• Li Yuan told Angel Mo to learn Sequence 001's stance, and Angel Mo traveled to the Central Continent with ten Apostles to meet it.
• Sequence 001 recognized Angel Mo's cruelty beneath his gentle appearance and dismissed his story of suffering rather than sympathize with him.
• Angel Mo asked Sequence 001 to ally with him if he won, and claimed Li Yuan and the Sea King supported him.
• Sequence 001 agreed to trust Angel Mo for now but said it would ally with whoever returned after securing alliances with all the remaining Sequences.

After Sequence 001 refused to join the alliance, Mo and Li Yuan moved ahead with a purge of all Sequences below the Fourth Order to prevent a rebellion. Mo began recruiting powerful Sequences, leaving the Lava Titan allied with him but his weaker friend at risk of being purged.

• Sequence 001 viewed Li Yuan as a man who had sunk into the abyss and lost his humanity, while seeing Sequence 024 as longing for freedom.
• Mo left after learning Sequence 001’s stance, and he and Li Yuan settled on eliminating lower-ranked Sequences before they could rebel.
• Mo brought ten Fourth Order Apostles to the northern mountains and confronted Number 037, the Lava Titan.
• Mo gave the Titan a choice between joining him and being eliminated; the Titan agreed to ally with him.
• When the Titan asked about protecting a powerful Third Order friend, Mo said the friend would be spared only if the Titan offered his own crown.

Mo targeted Dance Girl, a Third Order Sequence in Titan’s Northern Alliance, and discovered that her dance could memetically control him. After dancing with her for ten minutes, Mo ordered his apostles to attack, leaving Dance Girl facing the fight.

• Dance Girl’s memetic ability compelled Mo to dance with her and experience intense joy for ten minutes.
• Mo resisted Dance Girl’s attempt to continue controlling him and ordered his first and second apostles to attack.

Mo encountered Pandora, a high-ranking Containment Object whose meme ability could cause targets to die, and recruited her and her sister, the dancer, to help with the Purification Plan. He planned to use their abilities first and discard them later if he needed more crowns.

• The dancer's invitation failed to control Mo, and two apostles attacked, killing everyone present except Mo and the dancer.
• Pandora arrived and commanded the two apostles to die, causing them to kill each other.
• Pandora's instant-death ability failed against Mo, who summoned eight figures and seized her.
• Mo recruited Pandora, and the dancer offered to join them as well.
• Mo considered how recruiting lower-tier allies would affect his need for crowns and planned to use their abilities before abandoning them if necessary.
• Mo told Pandora and the dancer to come with him.

Mo and the apostles reached Stone Heart’s snowbound city and found Chen Yuan under the protection of Divine Revelation, a Tier Four Sequence. Divine Revelation confronted them, while Mo realized that Chen Yuan’s surname made Pandora’s casual remarks dangerously sensitive.

• Titan remembered his blind brother and wished to return to Earth after centuries on Great Snow Mountain.
• Mo crossed the two sisters’ territory and traveled with the apostles to Stone Heart’s lone city, which had no visible guards.

• Pandora identified Chen Yuan as the person surnamed Chen, and Mo recalled the reverence Sequences held for Chen Ye’s surname.

Mo confronted Chen Yuan, who refused to fight even as Mo’s apostles attacked him. Divine Revelation tried to rouse him by recalling his childhood love of Journey to the West, ending with a question about the riddle Chen Yuan learned from Patriarch Subhuti.

• Mo suspected Chen Yuan might possess potential equal to his own, but doubted it because Chen Yuan remained at Zero Tier after hundreds of years.

• Divine Revelation reminded Chen Yuan of his childhood love of Journey to the West and asked him to recall the character riddle from Mount Lingtai Fangcun.

Divine Revelation explained how Bai Ye’s Meme Contamination sealed Chen Yuan’s true consciousness and power within the Stone Heart. When Mo demanded Chen Yuan’s crown, Chen Yuan’s Heart Spirit awakened, and he drew Mo into a Realm of the Heart to fight at Fifth Tier High Rank.

• Divine Revelation reminded Chen Yuan that Bai Ye had broken his body, burned his organs with Yin Fire, and sealed his consciousness with Meme Contamination.

• After more than a year of waiting, Chen Yuan and Angel Mo moved again and were blasted apart, both coughing up blood.

Chen Yuan challenged Angel Mo in the Heart Space but fled after discovering Mo possessed true immortality through the Forbidden Potion, Twelvefold Requiem. Chen Yuan accepted Mo’s offer of an alliance, but Mo then had the Apostles kill the Dancer for failing to restrain Chen Yuan and Divine Revelation earlier.

• Chen Yuan fought Angel Mo in the Heart Space, but severed their mental connection after learning Mo had an immortality trait.
• Mo explained that Twelvefold Requiem contained twelve paired abilities, including immortality and eradication, and that the Twelve Apostles used abilities he had granted them.
• Mo offered Chen Yuan and Divine Revelation places in an alliance, and Chen Yuan agreed to ease the standoff.
• Mo ordered the Apostles to stab the Dancer, accusing her of failing to act when Pandora used her ability.
• The Dancer died, and Pandora stared at her sister as Mo declared that she should die in their place if she did not want them to die.

Mo formed an alliance with Chen Yuan using the Dancer’s Crown, while Li Yuan hunted Sequences across the Outer Sea Continent to seize their Crowns. In Phoenix’s nation, Odin revealed that he had redirected Phoenix’s nephew and warned Chen Yan that the nephew might someday discover the truth and bring Sequence 009 against him.

• Mo used the Dancer’s Crown to seal an alliance with Chen Yuan, and Divine Revelation accepted the choice despite feeling guilty about the Dancer’s death.
• Li Yuan’s oceanic Fourth Order familiars killed Francis and took his Crown, then Li Yuan planned attacks on other Outer Sea Continent Sequences.
• Li Yuan decided to spare Phoenix, whose real name was Chen Yan, because he feared Chen Yan might be related to Chen Ye.
• Odin told Chen Yan that he had lured Chen Yan’s nephew away and warned that the nephew might return with Sequence 009, who wielded a divine weapon capable of killing gods.

Sequence 009 learned that Number 002 had killed Francis and sent Nairasojin and Arthur to protect Ghost Shadow’s Crown from falling into Number 002’s hands. He then investigated Lin Feng’s growing obsession with revenge and feared Lin Feng’s uncle might be Chen Yan, the Flame Emperor.

• Nairasojin told Sequence 009 that Francis was dead and that Number 002 was likely responsible.
• Sequence 009 ordered Nairasojin and Arthur to help Ghost Shadow and secure her Crown, while keeping Lin Feng away from the mission.
• Sequence 009 found Lin Feng asleep with a diary page filled with the word “Kill!” and worried that Odin had intensified Lin Feng’s obsession with revenge.
• Sequence 009 learned that Lin Feng could no longer remember his uncle’s name or appearance and considered whether his uncle was Chen Yan, also known as the Flame Emperor or Ash Walker.
• Sequence 009 feared that if Chen Ye was Lin Feng’s revenge target, the Chaos Splitter would be drawn into the conflict.

Lin Feng confirmed that the Great Demon was likely with 004 and resolved to seek power from Sequence 009 before confronting the Fifth Tiers. He then traveled to Ash City to find and kill Sequence 047, Ash Walker, but the chapter ended as he began fighting his way into the sealed city.

• Lin Feng told Nightmare that his failed attempts to enter 004's Dreamscape suggested the Great Demon was there, then asked about Asian Sequences named Chen and learned of Chen Yan, Sequence 047, Ash Walker.
• Lin Feng took his handgun and dagger and told Sequence 009 he was going after Ash Walker; Sequence 009 let him leave alone and urged him not to let the past ruin his future.
• Lin Feng traveled across the Outer Sea Continent to Ash City, the country of Ash Walker, a sulfur-fire demon known as the Flame Emperor.
• When Ash City's guards refused him entry, Lin Feng used Dispersed Form Reorganization to reach the wall and killed the soldiers with insect silk.
