With one day left until Sequence Fusion, Xu Lang lay in bed, anxious that he could not influence the process, then kept himself occupied by experimenting with fusion materials. He turned Dangkang’s Breath into a harvest-boosting statue and prepared to fuse a killing-intent blade before tackling the Demonic Celestial Melody.

• Xu Lang left Avici Purgatory and planned another trip to Titan Dragon City, which he counted among his resource grounds.

• Cadia, Jagged Ash, and Surt waited anxiously for Erebos to summon them as Xu Lang hunted dragon beasts on the outskirts of the city.

• Bartholomew's gaze triggered his abilities and drained the four dragons until they were barely breathing.

Xu Lang consumed dragon souls in Avici Purgatory and evolved his Blood Pact into the exclusive Soul Dragon, then chose to expand the Strange Tales Magic Box with a fourth layer of Purgatory. The resulting disturbance drew Titan Building’s attention, and Sea God Titan ordered his people to contact the Strange Tales Building players.

• Xu Lang devoured dragon Spirit Forms until the game offered him an exclusive second Blood Pact, and he paid 300 million Copper Coins to create it.

• Bartholomew tried to reveal Xu Lang’s information and seize Surt’s memories, but Dormitory Survival Game stopped him and ruled that Surt and the other dragons were Bartholomew’s property.

After learning how dormitory buildings shaped player strength, Xu Lang grew ambitious about using Mad King Building to rise in the game and plunged into Avici Purgatory to act. Meanwhile, Mad King Building’s NPCs discovered that some residents in the Magic Box World had secretly turned against their own faction, leaving Holy Envoy Wu trapped and drugged.

• Xu Lang considered Mad King Building a stepping stone to greater power, then took the Immortal Spirit Fishing Rod into Avici Purgatory.

• Xu Lang used the Immortal Spirit Fishing Rod in Gluttony Purgatory to drain attributes from Strange Tales until both Constitution and Spirit reached 10,000.
• The Dormitory Survival Game revealed five Mad King Building Ascender trials, warned Xu Lang that he could attempt only one, and offered him the ability to pause time during the trial.

• Xu Lang killed the seven disciples, and Holy Envoy Wu, whose name was Wu Xueyi, became visibly attracted to him.

Xu Lang questioned Wu Xueyi about charisma arts and Grand Wuxia’s martial world, learning that his plan to improve his tenants’ charisma through cultivation skills would be impractical. Wu Xueyi revealed that Heaven’s Gate contained world-suppressing arts left by the Human Emperors, and Xu Lang’s interest turned toward those inheritances.

• Xu Lang obtained Wu Xueyi’s Nine Lives, Nine Lifetimes visualization art and learned that she had maxed affection for him after he beat her.

• Wu Xueyi invited Xu Lang to join forces with the Heavenly Sound Sect leader at Heaven's Gate, and Xu Lang considered her desire to challenge the leader.

• Xu Lang appeared in Han Jisoo's dream and gave her a vial of blood-red liquid.
• Xu Lang conveyed the vial's information to Han Jisoo, who recognized it as the Dragonkin Blood Pact.

Han Jisoo drank a level-forty Mythic dragon Blood Pact and gained powerful new traits while Xu Lang waited for a four-Sequence Fusion to finish. Worried that its result might draw the attention of god-tier figures, Xu Lang started a Simulation to test what would happen if it created an S-rank Sequence.

• Xu Lang chose the Furyflame Dragon Blood Pact for Han Jisoo, and she woke from a dream holding the bottle he had given her.

• As the Fusion neared completion, Xu Lang worried an S-rank Sequence could draw an attack from Bartholomew and other god-tier figures.
• Xu Lang began a Simulation in which the four Sequences vanished and a new S-rank Sequence made him its Sequence Player.

After mysterious beings made the Dormitory Survival Game harder across the Blood Mist World, Xu Lang simulated one month into the future to learn whether the game would abandon him.

Xu Lang urged the Nightmare Apostles to intensify their scares, while Wu Huihui asked him to divide the Mad King Building’s dream zone between her and Li Shuwen. Xu Lang sought Li Shuwen’s wishes and found him frightening Wang Ao before turning the nightmare into a peaceful dream.

• Xu Lang assigned the Nightmare Apostles to their territories, where Zhang Bing used memory erasure to terrorize Shadow Prison Building players and uncover their secrets.

• Li Shuwen impaled Wang Ao with a spear in a frightening dream, then changed the dream into a peaceful scene of pink flowers before answering Xu Lang’s summons.

Xu Lang assigned Li Shuwen authority over NPC and monster dreams, then completed a Supreme Fusion that created the Probability Controller Sequence. He began testing its power and split its development between his dream and Mary’s real-world training.

• Xu Lang instructed Mary to test the ability in reality while he returned to developing the Sequence in a dream.
• Mary walked toward the target, planning to throw a dart from point-blank range.

Xu Lang studied the Probability Controller Sequence and learned how it could manipulate events through Fate Interference Power. As the Dormitory Survival Game announced a mutated Dungeon and the A-grade Blood Calamity Malice Glory, three Overlord-class Dormitory Buildings prepared to enter the battlefield.

• Xu Lang gained a preliminary understanding of the Probability Controller Sequence and its fourteen principles for manipulating probability and fate.
• The Dormitory Survival Game announced that the Grand Wuxia Dungeon had mutated and that it would provide Players with intelligence before critical points.

• The Dormitory Survival Game classified Malice Glory as an A-grade attack against the Titan, Eternal Night, and Holy City War Zones, and announced that the Corona Throne, Blood Home, and Disaster Dormitory Building would arrive in ten minutes.

After the Dormitory Survival Game revealed that hostile forces had mutated the Blood Mist World and deployed three Overlord-class towers, Xu Lang ignored the crisis and kept the women around him asleep. The next morning, he reviewed his immense Nightmare Coin gains and discovered that his Interference Power had climbed sharply through his actions in Avici Purgatory.

• The Dormitory Survival Game announced the Blood Mist World mutation, exposed the hostile forces behind it, and revealed that it would deploy three Overlord-class dormitory towers.
• Xu Lang forced Cao Yaxuan and Han Jisoo to sleep, then refused Jiang Wan's request to get up and pursue the opportunities created by the crisis.
• The women tried to follow the developments remotely, but Xu Lang's presence made them drowsy, and Cao Yaxuan urged Aygul to keep him occupied.
• On July 26, Year 93,300, Xu Lang woke after eight hours and checked his gains, including 9,575,965 Nightmare Coins and increased attributes.
• Xu Lang realized that his actions in Avici Purgatory had earned him 3,013 Total Interference Power and concluded that disruptive actions could raise it further.
