The Dormitory Buildings hesitated to attack the World Bat until Heaven's Wrath Building discovered it likely had high defense but low attack. Before Heaven's Wrath could strike, Xu Lang's Dragon Star Summoning Device sent a meteor toward the battlefield, and a second meteor appeared above it.

Xu Lang used the Double Magic Gem to strengthen the Dragon Star Summoning Device and ordered Demon King Castle to attack the World Bat while he prepared to go outside for dropped treasure chests. The Mad King Building drew the World Bat’s attention, prompting other buildings to join the attack and raising Paradise Building’s firepower points.

Heaven's Wrath Building debated how to catch up in firepower, while Solaris warned the other players to evacuate after Osiris reported that Xu Lang and Mad King Building had withdrawn.

• Xu Lang said the group should not return to the battlefield yet, leaving Xu Xiaomeng asking why he had brought them into the Magic Box World instead of sending them to their dormitories.

Xu Lang and the women stored their supplies before returning to the Void Battlefield to collect treasure after the World Bat’s attack. The other three Dormitory Buildings rewound time to revive their Players, while Demon King Castle remained intact, and Xu Lang led a small group outside to gather the World Bat’s loot.

Xu Lang and the others examined several rare items, including a Legendary barracks blueprint and contract scroll, before discovering an A-rank Sequence Item they could not yet use. They put the unclear contract aside and were left needing a Void Beast and a Void Night to fulfill the mask’s promotion requirements.

• Cao Yaxuan showed Xu Lang a Chieftain-grade Void Barracks Blueprint, and the group realized they lacked the materials and vacant plot needed to build it.
• Shirley identified Weight as a rare attribute associated with Titan Building, but she could not explain its effects, so Xu Lang put away the Overlord Contract Scroll.
• The group discovered that the Void Mask: Void Empress was an A-52 Sequence Item with unmet requirements of reaching 100% affection from a Void Beast and wearing it during Void Night.
• Xu Lang said Koro was not a Void Beast, and Cao Yaxuan worried that Void Night might only appear in games for tier-three Dormitory Buildings or higher.
• Kui Zi reminded the group that they already had an A-1 Sequence Item and that obtaining a Sequence Item rarely meant players could immediately take up its Sequence.

Xu Lang and the others debated Mad King Building’s quest for the Overlord’s Proof, refusing to trade the valuable certificate for a Legendary item. As the battlefield energy faded and the rankings settled, Mad King Building prepared to face the other buildings’ attention in round seven.

• Xu Lang showed the Overlord’s Proof, and Wang Yazhi and Zhen Lu discussed how far Mad King Building was from reaching Overlord level.

The three rival buildings focused their attacks on Mad King Building, while Solaris warned everyone that Xu Lang might carry his players into a surprise assault.

• The Dormitory Survival Game broadcast ranked Mad King Building first in Round 6 and announced the Rooftop Breakout rules and superweapon airdrops.
• The four dormitory buildings rose above a shrinking Void Battlefield, which turned into a lava basin connected by black stone bridges.

• Solaris warned the rival buildings that Xu Lang could carry Mad King Building's players and charge their formation, prompting high-level players to guard the rooftops.

The other buildings stopped firing at the Mad King Building when Xu Lang and its residents vanished, and Ghost Face crossed over to investigate.

As enemy players approached the Mad King Building’s elimination threshold, Xu Lang stayed away while the women in the Demon King Castle argued over whether to intervene. Xu Lang returned with Bai Ling, Yan Xiaoli, and Jiang Xiaowen, but his players ignored the building’s attack mission and continued following his earlier order to stay inside.

• Tong Qi, Cao Yaxuan, and the other women grew anxious as enemy players climbed toward the top, and Red Butterfly prepared to go out and fight.
• Gu Ya and the Rakshasa Race tenants blocked Red Butterfly, while Tong Qi persuaded both sides to wait a little longer.
• Xu Lang appeared in the corridor with Bai Ling, Yan Xiaoli, and Jiang Xiaowen, startling enemy players and drawing the attention of the other Dormitory Buildings.
• Xu Lang told Bai Ling he would take them somewhere safe even if the Mad King Building was eliminated, and the group rode the elevator back to the Demon King Castle.
• As enemy players reached eight tenths of the building, the Mad King Building issued an attack mission, but its players dismissed the order and stayed inside because Xu Lang had told them not to go out.

Xu Lang revealed that he had arranged for the group to defect to Evil King Building after Mad King Building lost the Building War, but Mad King Building blocked their escape and lured Bai Ling away with a mission. He stopped her by promising to revive her brother, Snake Lord, and used a Resurrection Charm on him.

Xu Lang exposed Mad King Building’s attempt to turn Bai Ling against him, revived Snake Lord as a Shepherded Soul, and convinced the siblings to side with him. Meanwhile, Mad King Building intervened in the battlefield, but Solaris led Chen Bo toward it anyway, and the building welcomed two climbers.

• Bai Ling’s embrace injured Snake Lord, and Mad King Building gave the siblings conflicting emergency missions about the Underground Palace.
• Xu Lang killed Snake Lord before Mad King Building could empower him, then revived him as a Shepherded Soul and had him warn Bai Ling that Mad King Building was deceiving them.
• Bai Ling accepted Xu Lang’s warning, while Yan Xiaoli and Jiang Xiaowen realized Mad King Building was sabotaging Players during building battles.
• Five outside Players reached Mad King Building’s rooftop, and the Dormitory Survival Game announced that the building had intervened and teleported them away without their sanity.
• Solaris decided to charge toward Mad King Building, forced Chen Bo to follow, and the building soon welcomed the two climbers.

As the Dormitory Survival Game broadcast announced Mad King Building’s imminent elimination, rival Players hunted those who had not reached its top. Just as Xie Wuji faced death, Mad King Building interfered with the battlefield and unsealed Dusk Veil.

• Solaris and Chen Bo reached the top of Mad King Building without being stopped by its interference.
• The game announced that seven Players remained before Evil King Building, Heaven's Wrath Building, and Paradise Building reached the top, and Mad King Building’s defeat counter began dropping as Players were killed.
