• Chen Fan woke when his Chain of the Time Ruins blocked someone’s attempt to investigate his past in the River of Time, and he suspected Hades was responsible.

Chen Fan learned how Reverse Fishing worked and realized it explained why Baobao alone remembered Canghai Yue restoring the Vermilion Bird Clan. The chapter revealed that the Human Race had no King and was relying on the Heavenly Chasm Plan, then ended with Chen Fan watching the human army attack a vast Frost Wraith tide with the Calamity-Cleansing Array.

• Wan Gu explained that Reverse Fishing retrieved objects from the past at the cost of the user's memories, and that the Angler Clan used it only to recover things that no longer existed.

The Yellow Springs Wraith suggested that Chen Fan appeal to the Boundary Battlefield’s races with a speech, but the Mortal Domain lacked an Exotic Treasure capable of broadcasting his voice across the entire battlefield.

• Jiu Wu recovered the Seraphim Spear and Demon Spear, and Chen Fan gave them to Wang Kui to store for Qian Jue.
• Chen Fan left the Demon Abyss with the Eternal Night Continent and learned that testing the spears against the mysterious paper had produced no reaction.
• Hu Wan contacted Chen Fan about the failed advancement of the Gods and Devils Continent, and Chen Fan suggested the other continents grow their populations and raise chickens.

• Jiu Wu stayed underground with Xuan Ba, who was tasked with protecting him and keeping him alert so he could trigger the Sky-Piercing Pillars if danger arrived.

The Strange Entity Clan's hidden elite forces launched a surprise attack on the Mortal Domain, vastly exceeding the strength Yun Du had reported. Chen Fan activated the Mortal Domain's reserves and summoned the Demon King as the enemy forces charged, leaving the battle poised to begin.

• Chen Fan learned that Thousand Night had renamed his clan after Shiqi, while Qi An worried that the Mortal Domain trusted Yun Du more than him.
• The Strange Entity Clan's level 90 elites suddenly approached the Mortal Domain, and Chen Fan ordered the First Plan, East Wind Unleashes a Thousand Blossoms at Night, activated.

• Chen Fan opened fire with Level-80 Heaven-Deriving Sky-Piercing Pillars, but Level-90 Shield Mountain Wraiths joined their shields into a barrier and withstood the first barrage.

The Mortal Domain’s demon annihilated the Strange Entity Clan’s level 90+ attackers, and Chen Fan led a pursuit that turned their assault into a rout. With the Eternal Night Continent temporarily anchored, the Floating Cloud Continent towed it into the fleeing forces while the demon continued striking them, leaving the Mortal Domain’s victory watched in awe across the battlefield.

• Zhong Yi and observers across the Human Race watched as the Mortal Domain unleashed overwhelming firepower against the Strange Entity Clan’s elite force.

After the Mortal Domain topped the Faction Merit Points Leaderboard, Chen Fan spent its Merit Points on a custom seven-colored halo and discovered he could enter long keywords through his Endless Night Lord Panel. The halo began forming amid thunder heard across the Boundary Battlefield and beyond, while Fei Yu vowed the Strange Entity Clan still had reserves and its real fight had only begun.

• Chen Fan rejected rewinding time to reclaim the Divine Descent Token and saw the Mortal Domain reach 110.7 billion Merit Points, far ahead of the other human continents.
• Chen Fan and his advisers debated buying one custom seven-colored halo or eleven random ones, until Long Live pointed out that the Merit Shop might not limit keyword length.

After the Strange Entity Clan’s failed raid, Wan Gui fled with Sanqi and escaped into a vast, unknown secret base, while Fei Yu remained in command. Sanqi realized he was stranded with Wan Gui and could not send word back to the Mortal Domain.

• Wan Gui urged the weakened Sky Patrol to remove Fei Yu, while Sanqi, secretly working for the Mortal Domain, decided to keep Fei Yu in command.

As the Human Race and Strange Entity Clan prepared for the next decisive clash, Fei Yu struggled to rally the Strange Entity Clan’s forces while Hades pursued Heavenly Punishment Continent and questioned whether its superweapon was real.

• Wan Gui unpacked supplies from his Storage Bag, prepared black sesame paste, and renamed Sanqi Four Five Six after recounting a lucky casino win.
• Wan Gui explained that his underwater secret base became impossible to leave once the Dark Upheaval began, and Sanqi described sleeping with his back to a wall as his own childhood refuge.
• Wan Gui revealed that he had hidden three Hades Needles among hundreds of sesame-paste-filled needles, while Sanqi swallowed the paste and asked what a Hades Needle tasted like.
• Chen Fan learned that Sanqi had vanished beyond Jiu Wu’s perception and suspected that he had gone somewhere like Green Edge and Qian Jue.
• Hades pursued the damaged Heavenly Punishment Continent, questioned whether Zhao Tianfa truly possessed a superweapon, and sensed the Demon Clan’s King near the Strange Entity Clan.
• Fei Yu challenged Hades’ Guard to join the front lines and threatened to mobilize the reserves, while the guard captain left to consider the demand and Fei Yu wrote and discarded a poem about the clan’s failing fortunes.
