Chapter Summaries

As the Third Dark Turmoil began, Chen Fan put the Mortal Domain on first-level combat readiness and set May 1 as the date to depart for the Boundary Battlefield. The chapter also showed Sanqi’s friends preparing for war and the forgotten prisoners on the abandoned Provocateur Continent still hoping the Mortal Domain would remember them.

• Chen Fan learned that the City Wall’s max-level effect barred unauthorized teleportation, then told Mr. Na the Mortal Domain was preparing to head for the Boundary Battlefield.
• The Third Dark Turmoil began with thunder and a blood-red sky, and Chen Fan ordered the Mortal Domain to enter first-level combat readiness and depart for the Boundary Battlefield on May 1.
• Chen Fan appointed Wan Gu and Xuan Ba to lead the new United Front Pavilion as Pavilion Master and Deputy Pavilion Master.
• Sanqi said goodbye to his classmates before calling Jiu Wu over a shopkeeper’s inflated white-cut chicken price, prompting Celestial Pivot to warn merchants against wartime profiteering and the War Pavilion to arrest the shopkeeper.
• On the abandoned Provocateur Continent, prisoners who had been left in the Aerial Prison gathered rainwater and continued guarding their inactive Teleportation Formation, hoping the Mortal Domain would return.

Chen Fan promoted the Eternal Night Continent to a sixth-level continent and led the Mortal Domain into the Boundary Battlefield, where Green Edge explained the new conflict and its dangers. As the Human Faction struggled to scout the Fog, Chen Fan predicted that the Strange Entity King would attack the front lines directly.

• The Mortal Domain War Pavilion brought the Roast Chicken Shop Shopkeeper to the prisoners’ island, where he told them he had been sentenced for charging 1,000 Ghost Coins for White-Cut Chicken.
• Chen Fan finished preparing the Eternal Night Continent, and the Mortal Domain gathered at the Northbank Defense Line for a group photo before departing on May 1.
• The Eternal Night Continent reached Level 50, became a sixth-level continent, and entered the Boundary Battlefield as the Third Dark Turmoil began.
• Green Edge gave Chen Fan a revised Boundary Battlefield manual, explained the merit rankings, Fog-covered regions, missions, and the Human Faction’s precarious position, and revealed that allied continents had guarded the Mortal Domain’s arrival.
• Chen Fan studied the map and stronghold bonuses, then asked Wan Gu and Qianqiu to consider how the Strange Entity King would attack; Chen Fan concluded the enemy would strike the Human Race’s front lines directly.

Chen Fan settled the newly arrived Eternal Night Continent into the Boundary Battlefield’s Safe Sea Area, where the Anglers joined the Human Faction and immediately began fishing up loot. He chose a low-risk resource-gathering mission while the Human Faction debated how to deal with the Anglers’ first catch, and a Yellow Springs Wraith enjoyed a meal with the lord of Black Orchid Continent.

• Wan Gu and the Anglers revealed their true forms above Eternal Night Continent and began a ten-year fishing contest, while Human Faction elders discussed the Mortal Domain’s arrival.
• Canghai Yue caught loot from a Human Faction continent, prompting Chen Fan to ask Wan Gu to steer the Anglers toward Strange Entity Faction loot instead.
• Jiu Wu broke through to Level 50, but Chen Fan learned that the Retirement Clan’s Human Faction status prevented it from helping him observe the Strange Entity Faction.
• Chen Fan accepted a resource-gathering mission and sent Eternal Night Continent toward a nearby resource point within the Safe Sea Area.
• A Yellow Springs Wraith stationed on Black Orchid Continent shared dinner with its Continent Lord and asked him to buy white-cut chicken.

Chen Fan watched footage of the Last-Ditch Continent’s destruction after Du Kun repeatedly entered the Stone Coffin Woman’s game and was transformed into a monster. When the same woman appeared before the Eternal Night Continent, Chen Fan agreed to play and summoned Xuan Ba, apparently intending to use the Black Tortoise’s ability to sleep through a thousand years.

• Chen Fan saw the Human Faction 003 Command Post’s announcement that the seventh-level Last-Ditch Continent had been destroyed and watched Black Sword’s footage.
• The Stone Coffin Woman tempted Du Kun with escalating Eerie Stone rewards, and Du Kun repeatedly entered her coffin despite the Last-Ditch Continent’s lord ordering him to stop.
• After five rounds, the Stone Coffin Woman returned Du Kun’s memories of enduring a thousand years of torment each time, and he mutated into a monster that destroyed the Last-Ditch Continent.
• Chen Fan ordered Chen Jiutian to have the Mortal Domain’s senior leaders prepare new crisis response plans after seeing the footage.
• The Stone Coffin Woman appeared before the Eternal Night Continent and offered her game, so Chen Fan summoned Xuan Ba to take part.

Chen Fan exploited the Stone Coffin Woman’s rules to destroy the Millennium Stone Coffin and learned that anomalies could appear even in the Safe Sea Area. Shaken by the encounter, he ordered a massive bombardment of the nearby Resource Point, while the Human Faction command post watched in surprise.

• The Human Faction command post lost contact with Chen Fan and ordered nearby support as the Stone Coffin Woman appeared beside the Eternal Night Continent.
• Chen Fan had Xuan Ba accept the game, then used the stone coffin’s rules to make him repeatedly play until the Millennium Stone Coffin and the Stone Coffin Woman were destroyed.
• A heavenly announcement identified the Millennium Stone Coffin as a fallen general wraith, and the Human Faction sent Chen Fan an updated Beginner’s Guide on anomalies.
• Chen Fan learned the Resource Point contained black-gold meteorites, but, distrustful of the Safe Sea Area, ordered a saturation strike across the site and adjoining waters.
• The Human Faction command post detected the bombardment, and the old man chairing the meeting said he was starting to like Chen Fan.

Chen Fan used the Eternal Night Continent’s Anglers to complete resource-gathering missions at extraordinary speed, drawing the Human Faction Command Post’s attention. After nearby missions led into dangerous semi-safe waters, he traveled to the nearest Transit Continent to submit his resources.

• Chen Fan stored the Time Fruit, Stone Coffin Token, and General’s Incense, then gave the Time Fruit to the World Tree, which gained a thousand growth rings.
• After confirming the first Resource Point was safe, Chen Fan persuaded Wan Gu and the Anglers to gather its resources, then used their long-range fishing to complete more missions without moving the continent.
• The Human Faction Command Post noticed the Eternal Night Continent had completed five gathering missions in half a day and worried that Chen Fan would soon exhaust the safe Resource Points.
• On the third day, Chen Fan rejected two distant missions in recently cleared semi-safe areas and redirected the Eternal Night Continent toward the nearest Transit Continent.
• Chen Fan arrived at the Transit Continent and headed for Port 19.

Chen Fan toured the Transit Continent with guide Lu Ming, submitted his missions, bought supplies, and prepared the Eternal Night Continent to travel onward. He reached Region 78, where fog and wreckage from the fallen Haosi Continent marked the edge of a silent, dangerous sea.

• Lu Ming guided Chen Fan and his companions through Port 19, explained the Jade Pivot Screen and Transit Continent services, and used his survivor privileges to get them into the Military Supply Hall ahead of the queue.
• Chen Fan submitted the stored resources for his missions, earning 50 faction Merit Points and 1,000 faction contribution points, then purchased Jade Pivot Screens, Solo Shuttles, Illusion-Repelling Incense, and Emergency Distress Orders.
• Lu Ming arranged a teleportation array and Black Sword for the Eternal Night Continent before Chen Fan returned and ordered the continent to set out for Region 78.
• During the half-month journey, Chen Fan studied the Clever Stratagem Pouch and made Sky-Piercing Pillars while recording his concerns about exploring near the fog.
• The Eternal Night Continent reached Region 78, where Chen Fan saw building wreckage bearing the Haosi Continent's emblem and a dense wall of fog beyond the cleared waters.

Chen Fan turned the Eternal Night Continent back to rescue the Floating Cloud Continent after realizing a perception-polluting anomaly might have caused the White-Clad Female Wraith that frightened him. When the anomaly attacked both continents and split into eighteen apparent forms, Chen Fan ordered a coordinated carpet-bombing that exposed its hidden position and wounded it.

• Chen Fan rejected the White-Clad Female Wraith’s teleportation attempt and destroyed it with the city-wall Psionic Cannons.
• After the Floating Cloud Continent reported an enormous anomaly and the Human Faction Command Center canceled its rescue, Chen Fan initially ordered the Eternal Night Continent away, then turned back to attack the anomaly.
• Eternal Night Continent rammed the anomaly, then joined Floating Cloud Continent in firing Sky-Piercing Pillars, but the anomaly’s perception pollution made both continents target false positions.
• The anomaly appeared above Eternal Night Continent and struck its Land-Guarding Formation, while Wan Gu warned Chen Fan that the creature could pollute even his perception.
• When the anomaly split into eighteen apparent forms, Chen Fan ordered Celestial Pivot to carpet-bomb the sea around Eternal Night Continent and attack Floating Cloud Continent as well.
• The bombardment struck an anomalous point and drew a piercing squeal from the creature, prompting Celestial Pivot to launch a second round.

Chen Fan and the Eternal Night Continent defeated the Twin Wraith after it survived a massive bombardment and charged toward them. The continent then resumed its resource-gathering mission, while Floating Cloud Continent’s lord thanked Chen Fan and the Strange Entity Clan’s attention on Eternal Night Continent became a growing concern.

• Celestial Pivot located the Twin Wraith’s hidden true body, and Chen Fan’s Sky-Piercing Pillars wounded it, but it transformed and charged toward the Eternal Night Continent.
• Chen Fan ordered the continent to unleash Sky-Piercing Pillars and Otherworld Kingdoms, while Qianqiu and the other anglers bound the Twin Wraith with fishing lines threaded through space rifts.
• An Otherworld Kingdom detonated beneath the trapped Twin Wraith, killing it and causing the Boundary Battlefield to announce that the Eternal Night Continent had slain the Twin Wraith.
• Chen Fan declined to meet Floating Cloud Continent’s lord and ordered the Eternal Night Continent to resume its gathering mission in Sea Area 78; Floating Cloud Continent’s lord learned Chen Fan had come to help without orders and posted his thanks.
• Chen Fan explained to Crippled Monkey why people on the Boundary Battlefield kept emotional distance, then worried that the Eternal Night Continent might draw greater attention from the Strange Entity Clan after killing two General Strange.

Chen Fan discovered that the Twin Wraith had dropped a wedding set meant for Liu Ying, who was revealed to be the Wraith King’s returning bride, and he rushed to warn the command post that a Wraith King might arrive in Region 78. The Wraith King sent the Three-Headed Hellhound to retrieve the wedding set, while the Strange Entity Clan’s elders resolved to lure Chen Fan out and have their King kill him.

• Chen Fan received 100 tons of star metal as a reward for rescuing Floating Cloud Continent, then found a Heavenly Marriage Contract, Heavenly Wedding Hall, and Heavenly Wedding Garment among the Twin Wraith’s drops.
• Chen Fan realized Liu Ying was the Female Wraith from the Stone Coffin and warned the Human Faction 003 Command Post that a Wraith King might reach Region 78; he ordered Wan Gu to clear the Corpse-Bone Flower resource site quickly.
• The Wraith King learned that Twin Wraith had fallen, but Liu Ying returned safely on her own, so he sent Little Red to trade a Soul Land entry token with Eternal Night Continent for the wedding set.
• Floating Cloud Continent received an order to retreat, while its Continent Lord shared footage showing Chen Fan had defeated Twin Wraith by bombarding the surrounding waters indiscriminately.
• Strange Entity Clan elders concluded that failing to eliminate Chen Fan early had been a grave mistake and agreed to lure him out so their King could kill him.

The Strange Entity Clan devised a plan to lure the Eternal Night Continent into Soul Land so its King could destroy it, while Chen Fan harvested resources, explored the Ghost Gate, and prepared for a special continent baptism. As clues to Soul Land and another Forbidden Land emerged, Chen Fan asked Wan Gu to remember where he had hidden his spoils from the Second Dark Turmoil.

• An Old Strange Entity persuaded the Strange Entity Clan's King to target the Eternal Night Continent in Soul Land, using an Entry Token delivered through the Human Faction as bait.
• Chen Fan finished harvesting Sea Area 78, deployed the Ghost Gate, and sent Jiu Wu and several Doppelganger Wraiths to investigate its ruined city.
• At the 29th Transit Continent, Chen Fan completed a Calamity Cleansing and learned that the Human King Version of Heaven-and-Earth Baptism materials would arrive in three days.
• The Red-Haired Elder's group discussed avoiding the Wraith King in Sea Area 80, pursuing clues to the Dragon Graveyard, and learning that the Heavenly Punishment Continent had set out after Soul Land clues.
• Chen Fan asked Wan Gu to recall where he had hidden the spoils he fished up during the Second Dark Turmoil, but Wan Gu could not remember.

Chen Fan investigated a mysterious shadow that stole his dumplings while the Eternal Night Continent waited for its Heaven-and-Earth Baptism. As the baptism materials arrived, the Human Faction Command Center hesitated over telling him about the Soul Land Entry Token, and the chapter ended with the hundred-thousand-year Forbidden Land about to emerge.

• Chen Fan asked Wan Gu where the Angler Clan might have hidden its spoils, and Wan Gu suggested the River of Time as one possible hiding place.
• An unknown black shadow stole Chen Fan’s dumplings at impossible speed, and the Human Faction 003 Command Post warned that it might be a General Strange.
• Lu Ming lent Green Edge eerie stones and his marriage savings, while Green Edge privately told Black Cat that the Eternal Night Continent was the Human Race’s last remaining continent.
• After the Heaven-and-Earth Baptism materials arrived, Chen Fan received an incomplete message from the Human Faction Command Center, whose elders debated whether to give him a Soul Land Entry Token.
• The team on the Heavenly Punishment Continent secured a Soul Land Entry Token as the hundred-thousand-year Forbidden Land, Soul Land, neared its emergence.

Chen Fan declined the Human Faction’s invitation to enter the dangerous Soul Land and chose a Human King Version Heaven-and-Earth Baptism blessing that hid the Eternal Night Continent’s details from outsiders. When a Three-Headed Hellhound tracked him across sea areas, Chen Fan rammed it, but after it reformed, it handed him a Soul Land Entry Token and Red Silk Cloth, leaving him to suspect someone still wanted him to enter Soul Land.

• The Human Faction elders asked Chen Fan whether he would enter Soul Land, and he sent a lengthy, polite refusal, so they began secretly selecting another continent.
• Chen Fan chose absolute visual confidentiality as the Eternal Night Continent’s Human King Version Heaven-and-Earth Baptism blessing, then moved on to gather resources in Region 79.
• A Three-Headed Hellhound appeared, swallowed Chen Fan’s Sky-Piercing Pillars and nearby strange entities, and chased the Eternal Night Continent into Region 108.
• Chen Fan realized the hound was tracking him for a Wraith King, turned the Eternal Night Continent around, and crushed the hound beneath it.
• The hound reformed behind a blood membrane and spat out a Soul Land Entry Token and Red Silk Cloth; Chen Fan ordered his people to try communicating with it.

Chen Fan tried to bargain with the Extinction Demon Emperor for the Wedding Three-Piece Set, but their shared devotion to Liu Ying and Guangjia Flesh Monkey turned the negotiation into a heartfelt exchange. The Extinction Demon Emperor gave Chen Fan the set and promised to escort him into Soul Land, leaving Chen Fan surprised but reassured.

• Chen Fan learned that the Extinction Demon Emperor had sent the Hell Two-Headed Hound to trade a Soul Land Entry Token for the Wedding Three-Piece Set, then used a moving story about Guangjia Flesh Monkey to pressure him.
• The Extinction Demon Emperor recalled how Liu Ying had helped him when he was a bullied Little Strange Entity, and he and Liu Ying agreed to let Chen Fan have the wedding set and attend his wedding.
• Chen Fan pursued the departing Hell Two-Headed Hound and spoke directly with the Extinction Demon Emperor, calling him Big Brother and persuading him to accept the Wedding Three-Piece Set for Chen Fan and Guangjia Flesh Monkey.
• The Extinction Demon Emperor offered to escort Chen Fan into Soul Land, and Chen Fan realized the arrangement might make the dangerous trip safer.

Chen Fan and the Eternal Night Continent were forcibly drawn into Soul Land after his elder brother, the Extinction Demon Emperor, accelerated its emergence. As the continent traveled toward the Soul Land, Chen Fan learned more about his brother’s past and prepared dumplings for him, while the lie about Guangjia Flesh Monkey remained unresolved.

• The Soul Land Entry Token pulled the Eternal Night Continent into Soul Land, and the Human Faction 003 Command Post realized it had entered without its planned escort.
• The Strange Entity Clan learned that the Floating Cloud Continent had entered with the King’s avatar and the Polar Strange Clan, while the Eternal Night Continent had unexpectedly disappeared into Soul Land.
• Chen Fan found that Soul Land blocked the continent’s detection systems and made Wan Gu and the anglers too uncomfortable to fight.
• The Extinction Demon Emperor arrived, greeted Chen Fan as his younger brother, explained Little Red’s history, and offered to guide the Eternal Night Continent through Soul Land.
• After undead swarmed the Sea of Dead Bones, the Extinction Demon Emperor directed the continent north and told Chen Fan about demons, Hell, and his former life.
• Chen Fan arranged dumplings for the Extinction Demon Emperor and reassured Crippled Monkey that he had a plan for the Guangjia Flesh Monkey lie.

Chen Fan’s reunion and dumpling feasts with Big Brother ended when the Strange Entity Clan King, Hades, arrived and threatened the Mortal Domain. Jiu Wu confronted Hades after learning his origins, and Chen Fan realized Hades could be wounded as he prepared a counterattack.

• Chen Fan treated Big Brother to three days of dumplings and learned that Soul Land’s Palace held puzzle chambers, treasures, and guardian monsters.
• A Strange Dragon spotted the Strange Entity Clan continent approaching, and Chen Fan launched a probing strike before Hades revealed himself as the clan’s King.
• Chen Fan prepared to use his time-rewinding title, while Monkey and Wang Kui accepted that the Mortal Domain might be doomed.
• Hades showed how Jiu Wu had been created by separating his unwanted personality traits, restored Jiu Wu’s memories, and mocked him for opposing his brother.
• Jiu Wu attacked Hades with his Dark Strange Art, Jiu Wu’s Fury, but Hades extinguished the strike and drew his own Blood Blade.
• Chen Fan used the Lord of the Time Ruins title to freeze the Strange Entities, noticed Hades had bled, and raised Heavenly-Derivation Sky-Piercing Pillars and Otherworld Kingdoms for his next move.

Chen Fan and the Extinction Demon Emperor defeated Hades’s avatar and destroyed the invading Strange Entity forces. Afterward, Chen Fan confessed that Guangjia Flesh Monkey was a fabrication, then explained that the people of the Mortal Domain were the ones who supported and mattered to him; he ended by voicing his dream of a future without Kings.

• Chen Fan recognized that Hades was only an avatar, and the Extinction Demon Emperor revealed his power by locating and killing him with ghostly flames and binding chains.
• The Extinction Demon Emperor’s attack wiped out the Heaven-Shrouding Strange Entities and skeletons throughout the Soul Land Forbidden Zone, while Hades’s true body remained alive.
• Chen Fan reassured Jiu Wu that his supposedly flawed traits were virtues, and Jiu Wu regained his confidence.
• Chen Fan gave the Extinction Demon Emperor a book about Guangjia Flesh Monkey, then admitted that the character and their shared history were lies he had invented.
• The Extinction Demon Emperor embraced Chen Fan and offered to be his Guangjia Flesh Monkey, while Chen Fan said the people of the Mortal Domain already filled that role.
• Chen Fan told the Extinction Demon Emperor that he wanted to protect the Mortal Domain and dreamed of a future when the war ended and everyone could live freely without Kings.

Chen Fan reunited with the Floating Cloud Continent's lord in Soul Land, then led his companions to a ruined palace and discovered murals depicting the rise of a skeleton race. The group reached a locked secret chamber whose inscription they could not read.

• The Floating Cloud Continent mistook the Eternal Night Continent for an enemy and attacked until Chen Fan called out to Fu Yun, who explained the mistake and joined him on the city wall.
• The Floating Cloud Continent's lord described his experimental anomaly-detecting eyeball, declined to explore with Chen Fan, and departed to search for opportunities elsewhere.
• Chen Fan's group landed near the palace, read Heaven and Earth's inscription at its entrance, and entered after Chen Fan recognized the name as an old acquaintance's former alias.
• Chen Fan had Jiu Wu clear dust from the corridor murals and studied their account of a skeleton's rise into a powerful race that fought giants.
• The middle-aged man led Chen Fan to a secret chamber, where he pointed out its locked door and unreadable inscription.

Chen Fan opened the Undead Clan’s secret chambers with the Godslaying Spear and discovered vast reserves of bones, undead stones, weapons, and energy. Activating the Land of Departed Souls made it his own hidden domain, though the chapter ended with him learning that its fine white sand was bone powder.

• Chen Fan deciphered the corridor murals and realized the Godslaying Spear was the King’s Token, then used it to open the first secret chamber.
• Chen Fan found the Undead Clan’s bone reserves, undead stones, and weapons, and the Logistics Pavilion began planning how to handle the resources.
• Chen Fan opened the final chamber, triggering a rain of red meteors that struck the Soul Land and revealed enormous stores of compressed Dark Energy.
• The Godslaying Spear informed Chen Fan that the Land of Departed Souls belonged to him and could hide within the River of Space, so he ordered the resources left there and planned renovations.
• The Middle-Aged Man revealed that the continent’s white sand was finely ground bone powder, and Chen Fan ordered a small amount taken back as a museum souvenir.

After returning from Soul Land, Chen Fan developed Eternal Night Continent, gained two powerful auras, and prepared to advance it to a seventh-level continent as the Human and Strange Entity factions moved toward war. The chapter ended with Wang Kui reporting that Qi Yue remained dead despite a month of the Millennium Stone Coffin Aura, whose energy consumption was rising.

• Eternal Night Continent returned to its familiar sea area, and Jiu Wu brought Chen Fan a stele suggesting the world beyond the Ghost Gate was the remains of Hell; Chen Fan told him to keep exploring and search for Big Brother's lost weapon.
• Chen Fan witnessed the death omen for a General Strange slain by Heavenly Punishment Continent and learned that fallen anomalies now granted special continent auras; he activated Eternal Night Continent's Millennium Stone Coffin Aura.
• Qian Xiaoping explained that Soul Land's meteorites contained high-level energy sealed inside shells, and Chen Fan ordered them stored for future use while the Strategist Pavilion continued testing undead skeletons.
• Hades punished the Strange Entity Command Post for its failed plan and ordered the front line to advance faster and launch an All-Out Assault as soon as the fog was cleared.
• Over the next month, Chen Fan upgraded Eternal Night Continent's buildings, reached 100 Faction Merit Points, and selected a nearby Green-Grade Stronghold as the next step toward seventh-level status.
• Wang Kui told Chen Fan that the Millennium Stone Coffin Aura had resurrected everyone buried on Rugged Island except Qi Yue, while its energy consumption continued to rise.
