• Lin Yi’s consciousness returned to reality, where Nangong Ling and the others checked on him and Feng Sanyou gave him water.
• Lin Yi told Nangong Ling and the others that he had been beaten in his own Inner Field, then reflected that the Great Sage had proved his lack of combat experience.

After defeating Lin Yi in the Inner Field, the Great Sage warned him that other Soul Armaments could destroy their owners’ Divine Senses and seize their bodies. Lin Yi and his companions reached the capital of Dian Ya Kingdom, where he treated them to an extravagant underwater hotel.

• Lin Yi reflected on his defeat by the Great Sage and decided to rely more on technique than skills.
• Lin Yi told his companions that fighting Soul Armaments in the Inner Field could provide combat experience, but the Great Sage warned that defeated Class Users could lose their Divine Senses and bodies.

• Lin Yi and his companions arrived at the capital of Dian Ya Kingdom, and Lin Yi used the Seventy-Two Transformations skill to disguise himself.
• Lin Yi rented an underwater sea-view room, impressing Feng Sanyou with its luxury.

Lin Yi took Nangong Ling, Little Fatty Feng Sanyou, and Sun Dachuan to an extravagant undersea restaurant, where he discovered Sea Monsters disguised as workers and diners. He exposed two octopus monsters in front of the guests and turned their tentacles into an impromptu seafood spectacle, while three Viperfish remained outside the barrier.

• Lin Yi led Nangong Ling, Little Fatty Feng Sanyou, and Sun Dachuan into the Undersea Restaurant, where Fisherman-type Life Professioners caught fresh seafood for the guests.
• Lin Yi used [All-Seeing Eye] and [Fiery Golden Eyes] to spot three Viperfish disguised among the fishermen and two octopus monsters disguised as chefs.

• Lin Yi invited the diners to applaud the chefs, then announced a surprise and pulled two enormous octopus tentacles onto the cooking counter with the power of the Human Path.
• Lin Yi offered the tentacles to the cheering guests as grilled octopus, while the fishermen wondered when they had supposedly caught the giant octopus.

Lin Yi exposed five Abyss Descent monsters posing as restaurant staff and learned they had begun coordinating small-scale attacks to spread fear. He warned that the Professional Alliance would need to accelerate Dungeon-clearing, then killed the two octopus monsters before they could eat their grilled tentacles.

• Lin Yi forced the two octopus monsters disguised as chefs to grill their tentacles while the three Viperfish tried to escape.
• Lin Yi used Light and Shadow Intertwined to bring the three Viperfish to the cooking station, dispelled their disguises, and revealed his identity to the restaurant staff.

• Lin Yi ordered the two octopus monsters to let the guests taste their cooking, then blew apart their heads as they prepared to eat their tentacles.

Lin Yi learned that Abyss Descent monsters had grown powerful enough to enter human territory undetected and warned Xu Sheng that coastal cities across Blue Star were under attack. He offered to protect his friends’ families, but their polite refusal left him asking whether they were sure.

• Nangong Ling asked Lin Yi how a monster had bypassed the hotel’s detection and whether more monsters could do the same.
• Lin Yi explained that stronger Abyss Descent monsters could escape their Dungeons and evade Monster Detection Spirit Crystals, then urged the restaurant’s survivors to seek Alliance support.
• Lin Yi told Xu Sheng that the Alliance had no reliable way to locate the hidden monsters and that clearing every Dungeon would endanger Class Users’ growth.
• Xu Sheng arranged for High Tier Professionals to cover coastal and other important areas, while Lin Yi said he would protect his parents and asked Brother Dachuan and Feng Sanyou for their families’ details.
• Brother Dachuan and Feng Sanyou declined Lin Yi’s offer to have the Alliance protect their parents, so Lin Yi released three old fellows from the Battle Pet Space and asked if they were sure.

Lin Yi assigned three Ancestor Dragons to protect the families of his friends and his parents, while sending Lin You to help keep Blue Star stable. He then inspected his Mythical chestplate and found that activating its powerful damage-reduction attribute required several rare materials with unclear sources.

• Lin Yi summoned Ao Zhan and the other two Ancestor Dragons and asked them to protect his parents and the parents of Sun Dachuan and Feng Sanyou.
• Lin Yi sent the three dragons to guard their assigned targets, then refused Lin You's offer to protect his parents and tasked her with helping maintain stability across Blue Star.
• Lin Yi inspected the Myriad Reverser Chestplate and found it could gain up to 90% damage reduction through its Overload attribute.
• Lin Yi tried to activate Overload but learned he needed Star Cores from the six paths of the Realm of Form, six King's Destiny, six Traitor's Head, and 50 million Great Xia Coins.

Lin Yi entered the Deadly Puppet Play dungeon on Abyss Descent’s forty-fourth floor and chose to face its puppet-control challenge rather than clear it automatically. After reviewing the rules and enemy formation, he prepared to arrange his puppets as the challenge began.

• Lin Yi brought his three teammates to the Deadly Puppet Play dungeon and rejected the Dungeon Announcement’s offer to clear it directly.
• Lin Yi selected SSS Rank difficulty, but his Overbearing title lowered the actual challenge difficulty to SS-Rank.
• The dungeon sent Lin Yi’s teammates to the spectator seats and explained the puppet battle rules and skills.
• Lin Yi inspected the mirrored boards and identified the enemy puppets’ positions and 3000 Health Points each.
• One of Lin Yi’s teammates worried that their puppets could not win against enemies with such a large Health Point advantage.

Lin Yi used careful positioning, timing, and skill cooldowns to overcome the NPC puppets’ superior stats and prevent their Heal Puppet from restoring the team. The battle continued into later rounds with Lin Yi maintaining an advantage, though the enemy still had skills available.

• Lin Yi positioned his puppets to protect his Guardian Puppet and focus attacks on the enemy Heal Puppet.
• Lin Yi timed his Confusion Puppet’s attack to interrupt the Heal Puppet and inflict confusion, while his puppets damaged it through the first round.
• Lin Yi activated his Guardian Puppet’s skill at the timer’s end, granting it evasion and preventing the enemy Guardian Puppet from dealing damage.
• Lin Yi’s puppets continued attacking the enemy Heal Puppet, while their Guardian Puppet drew and evaded attacks.
• The enemy Heal Puppet’s healing attempt was interrupted and rendered useless by Lin Yi’s calculations, and the battle proceeded into later rounds.

Lin Yi used a carefully timed strategy to defeat the Deadly Puppet Play Dungeon despite the NPC’s advantage in puppet attributes. He earned an SSS clear and a special achievement, then returned to the pavilion with Nangong Ling and the others.

• Lin Yi healed his Guardian Puppet and removed debuffs, then used Focus State to counter the NPC’s Confusion Skill and cast his Guardian Skill.
• Lin Yi blinded two enemy puppets and used precise control of the battle to disrupt the NPC’s skills and reduce its Heal Puppet to critical health.
• Lin Yi defeated the enemy Blind Puppet after several more rounds and restored all his puppets to full Health Points.
• The Dungeon Announcement awarded Dragon God War God an SSS clear, a new completion record, the Pinnacle of Strategy achievement, rewards, and entry qualification for the 48th floor.
• Nangong Ling and the other two returned to the dilapidated pavilion with Lin Yi and praised his strategy before he urged them to continue deeper into Abyss Descent.

Lin Yi and his teammates traveled to Vandigan to investigate the Dungeon on Abyss Descent’s forty-eighth floor. After receiving a warm welcome from Vandigan’s leader, Lin Yi was escorted to St. Peter’s Church to meet the priest and proceed with entering the Dungeon.

• Lin Yi traveled to Vandigan aboard Lingyue with Sun Dachuan, Feng Sanyou, and a downcast Nangong Ling.

• Lin Yi greeted Angus politely and explained that his group needed to visit St. Peter’s Church.
• Angus sent his secretary to guide Lin Yi and his teammates to the church outside prayer hours.
• An elderly man thanked the Lord for allowing him to meet Lin Yi.

Lin Yi and his companions entered an Abyss Descent Dungeon that resembled Heaven, where a white-haired old man confronted Lin Yi over his past violence. The old man showed footage of Lin Yi’s battles and began accusing him, but the Dungeon’s purpose and how to defeat its apparent judge remained unclear.

• The priest led Lin Yi and the others to the cathedral’s restricted courtyard, where Lin Yi used the Abyss Descent Invitation to enter the Dungeon with his three companions.
• Lin Yi’s group arrived in a peaceful, cloud-filled realm, where a white-haired old man appeared and claimed he could read their thoughts.
• The old man said love and hate could coexist, then projected footage of Lin Yi using the Ancient Forbidden Spell to destroy monsters in the Tower of the Inverted Sky.
• The old man showed Lin Yi fighting Planet Isaac’s sea monsters and accused him of trying to exterminate their race, while Lin Yi inferred that the old man was serving as the Dungeon’s system announcement.
• The projection changed to show Lin Yi surrounded by countless members of the Insectoid Race.

Lin Yi faced a white-haired elder who condemned his actions and tried to turn his teammates against him by granting them Primordial Power and Divine Power. The three refused to attack Lin Yi, and Nangong Ling asked the elder to change his condition.

• Lin Yi continued slaughtering the Insectoid Race as the elder accused him of brutality and showed footage of his battles on Elemental Star.
• Lin Yi recognized that the elder carried Divine Power and concluded the old man was no match for him.
• The elder gave Nangong Ling and the other two Primordial Power and Divine Power, urging them to kill Lin Yi in exchange for keeping their new strength.
• Lin Yi applauded, pleased that his teammates had gained an opportunity to experience the powers.
• The three stayed their hands, and Nangong Ling told the elder she would accept even giving up her life rather than killing Brother Yi.

Lin Yi and his teammates perfectly cleared the Humanity Trial on the 48th floor, but Elder Bai Ran tried to deny their success and attack them. After defeating Bai Ran’s Divine Power strike, Lin Yi restrained him and demanded answers about the Divine Seal and why the group had not been sent to the 50th floor.

• Feng Sanyou and Nangong Ling refused the power offered by Elder Bai Ran, affirming their loyalty to Lin Yi and their priorities.
• The dungeon announced that Lin Yi’s group had perfectly cleared the Humanity Trial and ordered Bai Ran to give them Divine Seal Marks and invitations to the 49th floor.
• Bai Ran rejected the announcement and attacked Lin Yi and his teammates with a massive Divine Power palm.
• Lin Yi shattered Bai Ran’s attack with his own Divine Power, revealing that he was stronger than the dungeon deity.
• The dungeon announced Lin Yi’s arrival at and perfect clearance of the 48th floor, and Lin Yi restrained Bai Ran to ask about the Divine Seal and the missing 50th-floor invitation.

Lin Yi forced Elder Bai Ran to explain how he became a god and why he attacked the party. After hearing his history, Lin Yi and his teammates understood that ten thousand years of waiting had worn down Elder Bai Ran’s ambitions and humanity.

• Lin Yi threatened Elder Bai Ran with Divine Power until he agreed to answer their questions.
• Elder Bai Ran recounted how a young War God chose to sacrifice himself for his loved ones during a Dungeon trial and earned a God Seal.
• The young man cultivated Divine Power, became a god, and learned he had to find a successor before he could advance to a higher rank.
• After waiting for thousands of years and growing old, the young man took the name Elder Bai Ran and lost faith in his original ambitions.
• Lin Yi and his three teammates understood why Elder Bai Ran had ignored the Dungeon Announcement and attacked them.

Lin Yi and his companions completed Elder Bai Ran’s trial on the forty-eighth floor of Abyss Descent and received Divine Seals that would let them cultivate Primordial Power and Divine Power. Elder Bai Ran explained why Xuanyuan Qingcang had failed the trial, then sent the group back to Vandigan, where Feng Sanyou and Sun Dachuan tried to thank Lin Yi by kneeling.

• Lin Yi stopped pressuring Elder Bai Ran and asked why Xuanyuan Qingcang had left the Dungeon without obtaining Primordial Power.
• Elder Bai Ran said Xuanyuan Qingcang had failed his one-time trial because he had been obsessed with power and authority, and so had missed his chance at godhood.
• Elder Bai Ran told Nangong Ling, Feng Sanyou, and Sun Dachuan that their Divine Seals gave them the potential to become rulers of their planet.
• Elder Bai Ran sent Lin Yi and the others back to Vandigan after explaining what awaited them on the forty-ninth and fiftieth floors.
• Feng Sanyou and Sun Dachuan knelt to thank Lin Yi, who used Gravity Control to lift them and joked with them.

Lin Yi helped Nangong Ling, Sun Dachuan, and Feng Sanyou prepare to protect Blue Star after they gained God Seals and the ability to cultivate Primordial Power and Divine Power. Xu Sheng arranged special training and resources for them, while the news left Cheng Xiao furious with envy on Ancient Ape Star.

Lin Yi and his three companions learned more about the gods’ exploitation of the Myriad Worlds and traveled to Mount Olympus to challenge the fiftieth floor of Abyss Descent. There, they prepared to enter the Mirror Realm, where each would have to defeat an exact copy of themselves alone.

• After Lin Yi’s companions learned the truth about the High Gods and the Myriad Worlds, the group cleared the forty-ninth-floor Dungeon and obtained the invitation to the fiftieth floor.
• During dinner, Nangong Ling warned Feng Sanyou that Divine Power and Primordial Power alone might not be enough against an equally powerful opponent, and Lin Yi offered to provide skill manuals for training.
• Lin Yi and his companions boarded the Ling Yue Ship and traveled to Mount Olympus, where the fiftieth-floor Dungeon had opened to Class Users from every country.
• Lin Yi explained that the Mirror Realm created an exact duplicate of each challenger and that each person had to defeat their own mirror image without help from teammates.

Lin Yi led Nangong Ling and the other two to the Peak of Olympus, where the fiftieth-floor Abyss Descent Dungeon opened and revealed Ares. Ares began the trial by creating powerful replicas for the three, while Lin Yi’s own challenge remained unresolved.

• Nangong Ling used Gravity Control to carry Lin Yi and the others to the Peak of Olympus, where they sensed the ruins’ lingering Divine Power.
• Lin Yi opened the fiftieth-floor Dungeon, and golden holy light restored the ruined temple as the group entered its realm.
• Ares appeared and questioned Lin Yi after sensing his Divine Power and Primordial Power, but Lin Yi urged him to begin the trial.
• Ares created Divine Power replicas of Nangong Ling and the other two and ordered them to defeat themselves without relying on anyone else.

Lin Yi refused Ares’s offer to clear the Dungeon without a trial and was sent to fight a replica with his own strength and abilities. Their battle continued as the replica’s limited duration put pressure on Lin Yi to finish the trial.

• Ares offered Lin Yi a Nether Soul Dungeon entry token and a Mythical Equipment Random Treasure Chest, but Lin Yi insisted on taking the trial normally.
• After Lin Yi provoked him, Ares created an identical replica and sent Lin Yi into a designated space to fight it.
• Lin Yi and his replica traded matching Lightning Flash and Lightning Strike attacks, their collision cracking the surrounding space.
• The All-Seeing Eye revealed that the replica had only 14 minutes and 50 seconds remaining, so Lin Yi launched attacks with Eternal Power and Time-Space Condensing River.
• Both Lin Yi and his replica shattered their ice blades, recovered from their injuries, and continued exchanging attacks despite using matching Heaven and Earth Mirror abilities.
