Fang Cheng absorbed two pieces of Mother's Body and relived memories that revealed how Evil Gods corrupted believers and how Mother’s power created monsters, including Isis. The memories explained that Mother had chosen Fang Cheng by chance, and the chapter ended with Li Yu discovering that he had no feminine chest features.

Fang Cheng and Isis searched Centralia Town for the last piece of Mother's Body, but found nothing before nightfall. As they waited for the town to become active after midnight, a bell began ringing.

• Fang Cheng met Isis at the entrance to Centralia Town, where she explained that her search for Mother's Body had led her to Richard, a former resident who disappeared when the town was abandoned.

• Fang Cheng and Isis waited in an abandoned house, but nothing happened after nightfall until bells began ringing after midnight.

Fang Cheng and Isis investigated the resurrected Centralia Town, a settlement isolated inside a Subspace rift, and tracked down Richard to ask for Mother's Body. Richard vanished when Fang Cheng tried to seize him, as a group of strangely dressed figures arrived to begin an operation.

• At midnight, the ruined town and its dead residents reappeared as they had been half a century earlier, and Fang Cheng discovered the town was isolated by a Subspace rift.
• Fang Cheng and Isis explored the mine, subdued a family, and searched their memories for information about Richard.
• They learned that Richard had settled in Centralia Town a year before the fire and had later become a recluse.
• Fang Cheng and Isis found Richard at home and demanded that he hand over Mother's Body, but he refused and said no one could force him in Centralia Town.
• Fang Cheng reached for Richard, who turned blurry and vanished, while dozens of solemn figures entered the town and their gray-haired leader began the 3,795th operation.

Fang Cheng and Isis learned from Haywood Dulu that Centralia Town trapped its inhabitants in a repeating cycle of death and resurrection, and that the survivors believed killing Richard would let them escape. When Richard appeared in the Mine ahead of schedule, Fang Cheng and Isis pursued him into its burning depths.

• Fang Cheng and Isis subdued Haywood Dulu and his companions after they attacked the house, then Fang Cheng read Dulu's memories.
• Dulu's memories revealed that he and other investigators had been trapped in Centralia Town for half a century, repeatedly hunting Richard in hopes of ending the cycle.

• When monsters began attacking the town, Fang Cheng and Isis vanished and headed for the Mine, while Dulu led his companions after them.
• Fang Cheng and Isis entered the burning Mine, passed the surviving investigators, and pursued Richard deeper underground.

Fang Cheng and Isis failed to stop Richard from escaping into a Subspace Rift, then discovered that leaving Centralia Town through a rift sent them to different points in time. After returning to the town’s present cycle, they concluded that they needed to find a way to deal with Richard, just as the town stirred again at midnight.

• Fang Cheng and Isis confronted Richard at the altar, but Richard escaped into a Subspace Rift before they could kill him.
• Fang Cheng examined Dulu’s subordinates’ memories and learned that Richard had always been killed on his third appearance in past cycles, unlike in their attempts.

• At midnight, the town began stirring again as its bell tolled.

Plate returned to Jerusalem and killed the Church leaders gathered in the Third Temple to use their blood as sacrifices for the Final Judgment. As the Heavenly Gate appeared over the temple, Jerusalem’s believers surged toward the Temple Mount.

• Plate returned to Jerusalem while the Foundation Church’s leaders argued over who would control the Holy Land.

• The Heavenly Gate appeared above the Third Temple, and Jerusalem’s believers rushed toward the Temple Mount, overwhelming its guards.

Fang Cheng and Isis tried to learn the truth about Centralia Town from Richard, but he repeatedly escaped through Subspace Rifts and claimed he could not help them leave. After Isis deduced that Richard might remain within Centralia Town when he escaped, Fang Cheng tracked him across the town and pursued him again, hoping to follow him to another point in time.

• Fang Cheng and Isis failed to catch Richard during the town’s renewal, and Richard escaped again when Underground Fire appeared in the mine.
• Richard refused to give up Mother's Body or explain Centralia Town, and his escape triggered Underground Fire to consume the town before Dulu and the investigators could resume their hunt.
• Isis reasoned that Centralia Town might be Richard’s independent space, giving Fang Cheng a way to track him through Subspace Rifts.
• At the next midnight renewal, Fang Cheng spread Blood Elements throughout the town and followed Richard from his house to the mine and then to the woods.
• Richard fled as Underground Fire swallowed the town, and Fang Cheng took Isis through a Subspace Rift to try to catch him at another point in time.

Fang Cheng and Isis pursued Richard through Centralia Town’s countless time loops but could not catch him or find a way out. After observing several cycles, Fang Cheng concluded that a door connected to an Evil God’s power in the mine was causing the transformations and sustaining the loop, though Isis questioned why they had not sensed or seen it.

• Richard fled between different points in Centralia Town, but Fang Cheng and Isis repeatedly tracked him through Subspace Rifts as each departure accelerated the town’s destructive cycle.
• After hundreds and then thousands of trips, Richard taunted Fang Cheng and Isis, claiming they would never catch him and threatening to return to the beginning.
• Fang Cheng and Isis stopped pursuing Richard to rest and search for another way out, while Dulu led the investigators to the mine and they were swallowed by the Underground Fire again.
• Fang Cheng watched several cycles and realized that the townspeople and cultists were turning into monsters under the influence of an Evil God’s power.
• Fang Cheng proposed that a door in the mine was about to open and that Centralia Town’s endless cycle prevented it, while Isis challenged his explanation.

Fang Cheng and Isis discovered that the Evil God's power inside Centralia Town's residents could reveal a hidden door in the Mine, but the cycle ended before it fully opened. Richard begged them to stop, then agreed to explain the town's secrets, beginning with how he came to Centralia Town.

• Fang Cheng told Isis he suspected the residents contained the Evil God's power and decided to open the hidden door to escape the cycle.
• Fang Cheng killed a resident, drew out the Evil God's power, and gathered fragments from thousands of residents into a black sphere.
• Fang Cheng let the sphere transform into a monster, which revealed the hidden door in the Mine before the Underground Fire ended the cycle.
• Fang Cheng and Isis returned to Centralia Town, where Richard pleaded with them not to open the door and agreed to explain the town in exchange for a delay.
• Richard explained that he had been an adventurer with a weak time-manipulation ability, found Mother's Body, and followed its guidance to Centralia Town.
• Richard began recounting how the town administrator periodically brought strangers to the Bront mine shafts.

Richard revealed how the David Cult’s summoning ritual had trapped Centralia Town in a time loop and why he had protected his mother’s body. After Richard traded his time-control ability to Fang Cheng for a life, Fang Cheng ended the loop, freed the trapped investigators, and pulled the Mine’s door into the Lord of Ten Thousand Monsters’ Subspace, where its power suppressed it until it disappeared.

• Richard explained that the David Cult had summoned an Evil God in the Mine, causing his mother’s body to destroy Centralia Town and enclose it in a time loop using his ability.
• Fang Cheng offered Richard a life in exchange for his time-control ability, and Richard accepted after learning Fang Cheng opposed the Evil Gods.
• Fang Cheng ended the loop, restored Centralia Town to its original point in time, resurrected Richard, and sent Richard and the trapped investigators outside.
• Dulu confronted Richard, who admitted he had misled the investigators to keep them alive and stay with him; Dulu forgave him and invited him to join the group.
• Fang Cheng opened a Subspace Rift and pulled the Mine’s door into the Lord of Ten Thousand Monsters’ Subspace.
• Fang Cheng used the Subspace’s power to shrink the door until it vanished.

Pestilence Knight Plate opened the Heavenly Gate above Jerusalem and unleashed the Evil God's power, turning the crowded Holy Land into a slaughterhouse. Meanwhile, Fang Cheng suppressed the gate in the mine and restored Centralia Town, but catching Mother's Body sent him into memory mode again.

• Li Yu and Kanzaki Rin watched footage of the Heavenly Gate in Jerusalem and grew alarmed when they could not reach Fang Cheng.
• Plate began the Final Judgment, sacrificing his power to open the Heavenly Gate and cutting Jerusalem off from communications and surveillance.

• Fang Cheng severed his connection to Mother's Body, causing the Subspace around Centralia Town to vanish and Mother's Body to reappear.
• Fang Cheng caught Mother's Body as it fell, then blacked out and entered memory mode.

After escaping Centralia Town, he learned that the Heavenly Gate had appeared in Jerusalem while the gate beneath the sea was also acting up, and he headed for Jerusalem to find the Pestilence Knight.

• Fang Cheng watched a memory in which General Nuoya received orders from the Archon to destroy the Prison’s Anchors, including the one on Earth, then departed on her mission.
• Fang Cheng realized the Fallen were Evil Gods, the Subspace was their Prison, and Earth was one of its Anchors; Isis then tasted his blood and tried to persuade him to let her bite him again.

• Fang Cheng called Kanzaki Rin, learned that the Heavenly Gate had appeared in Jerusalem, and told her to continue evacuating people and supplies to the spaceship.

• Fang Cheng appeared in front of Plate, tore out his heart, and sent Blood Elements to devour his body.

Fang Cheng battled Pestilence Angel, who wielded the powers of all four Horsemen and gained strength from Heavenly Gate. After discovering a possible way to counter him, Fang Cheng returned to face the Angel, whose Divine Eye declared that Fang Cheng was destined to fail.

• Fang Cheng killed Plate and destroyed the Holy Land with a nuclear blast, but Heavenly Gate survived.
• Pestilence Angel emerged from Heavenly Gate, and Fang Cheng learned that he could use the other three Horsemen’s powers to attack, regenerate, and resurrect.

Fang Cheng stopped the Heavenly Gate’s opening, reached level 220, and forced the Evil God back behind the gate. After the Pestilence Angel died, Fang Cheng discovered that his mother’s recovered head had no face until he imagined one, and Izanae asked whether he would put the final piece of the puzzle in place.

• Fang Cheng killed the monsters fueling the Heavenly Gate and used his Blood Element to devour the Evil God’s spreading power while repeatedly killing the Pestilence Angel.
• The Evil God appeared behind the gate, attacked Fang Cheng, and sacrificed the Pestilence Angel to widen the opening and seize him.
• Fang Cheng raised the Blood Source System Skill Tree to level 7, transformed into a vast blood form, and reached through the gate to force it shut.
• Fang Cheng returned to human form at level 220, and the dying Pestilence Angel asked what future he saw before disintegrating into Fang Cheng’s mother’s head.
• Fang Cheng found that his mother’s head had no face, then made different women’s faces appear on it as Izanae asked whether he would put the final piece of the puzzle in place.

Fang Cheng absorbed Mother's final body part and learned that Izanae had secretly made him her puppet as part of a plan to escape the Prison. Izanae took over his body and left Earth, while Li Yu and the others faced an Evil God emerging from the South Sea Rift.

• Fang Cheng confronted Izanae about Mother's Body, and she admitted that she and her allies sought someone to inherit Mother's power to fight the Evil Gods.
• Fang Cheng absorbed Mother's head, then told Izanae he knew she and Tsukimi Mei had chosen him as their Proxy and tampered with his soul to use him in their escape from Prison.
• Izanae admitted she could control Fang Cheng's soul, but she could not find Mother's soul; she then took over his body and opened a Rift to Subspace.
• After the final nuclear bomb detonated at the South Sea Rift, Li Yu discovered that the explosions had failed to stop what was emerging, and an ancient cry incapacitated soldiers across the fleet.
• Li Jianbin, Li Yu, and Wang Mingde flew toward the cry's source while Song Mei evacuated the fleet; Li Yu called Fang Cheng for help, but he said he was leaving Earth and hung up.
