Chapter Summaries

Chen Feng asked the group for help surviving his Foundation Establishment tribulation, hiding it from the Great Yokai, and dealing with Bull Face, gaining lightning-conversion blueprints but no solution to Bull Face. After the chat ended, he returned to the P.E.A.C.D. base and discovered Prophet India was missing.

• Chen Feng explained that Foundation Establishment in his world brought deadly Tribulation Lightning, and the First Saint Demon Venerable and Unlucky Corpse Emperor identified altered heaven's laws as its cause.
• The War Marshal sent Chen Feng blueprints for a Reverse Inductor Cybernetic Body that converted lightning into energy and could discharge it.
• The First Saint Demon Venerable suggested spreading a flawed cultivation manual to distract the Great Yokai, while the group offered conflicting ways to handle Chen Feng's bodiless enemy, Bull Face.
• The King of the Monsters suggested destroying every Incarnation in Cihang City with his breath attack, then fled when the Giant of Light came after him.
• The big shot from Netherworld Star told Chen Feng that Body of Sorrow could never return, and Chen Feng decided to ask Prophet India for help finding his enemies.
• Chen Feng controlled Liu Xiaohu and went to the P.E.A.C.D. base to collect Prophet India, but found the corridor empty and wondered where she had gone.

Chen Feng investigated why Time Reversal had changed, then focused on advancing to Foundation Establishment by finding someone to decipher the Cybernetic Body blueprints and distributing a cultivation method. He left the prisoners with the Mayfly Record, expecting their progress to help him break through.

• Chen Feng learned that Liu Xiaohu was alive but unconscious, and suspected Cihang Bodhisattva had caused the change to Time Reversal through India.
• Chen Feng considered ways to find Bull Face but postponed his search until after he advanced to Foundation Establishment.
• Chen Feng failed to understand the Cybernetic Body blueprints and decided he would later seek help from Mr. QP, whom he planned to rescue from Crazy Zoo.
• Chen Feng went to the Prison, defeated an executioner urban legend, and collected a Grievance Stone.
• Chen Feng distributed the Mayfly Record to the prisoners, warned them to avoid attracting monsters, and planned to use their cultivation to advance.

Six months after the Trio switched to the Mayfly Record, Chen Feng learned that India had become Cihang Bodhisattva’s agent and waited in vain for Bull Face to contact him. He tracked researcher QP to Shark King’s Cave Abode, only to discover that QP had settled in with Shark King and did not want rescuing.

• Chen Feng discovered that India was impersonating Body of Sorrow and had recruited the Holy Cow Cult’s Dharma Protectors to serve Cihang Bodhisattva.
• India explained that Cihang Bodhisattva was using Chen Feng as bait for Bull Face, while Chen Feng tried and failed to get two hundred billion from the Wealth Dharma Protector.
• After Bull Face failed to contact him for a month, Chen Feng went to the Zoo to find researcher QP and learned from Old Wolf that a Demon King could have hidden someone for a long time.
• Chen Feng fought Elephant King, Bear King, and Mantis God on his way to the Ocean Zone, and Cihang Bodhisattva claimed the defeated Great Sages.
• Chen Feng confronted Shark King and asked her to hand over QP, but QP emerged and said he was happy there, while Shark King called him darling.

Chen Feng learned that Mr. Qipa suspected something was wrong within P.E.A.C.D. and gave him blueprints to adapt into a biotech design. Meanwhile, Bull Face chose Liu Ling for a Heaven Ritual and decided to hold it that day, unaware that a reborn person could still anticipate him.

• Shark King threatened Chen Feng, but Mr. Qipa calmed her and asked Chen Feng to bring him ingredients and goji berry rice wine.
• Mr. Qipa told Chen Feng that the Zoo's monsters had invented its rules and that he had stopped trusting P.E.A.C.D.'s intelligence.
• Chen Feng gave Mr. Qipa blueprints, and Mr. Qipa agreed to make a biological version before leaving when Shark King called him.
• Bull Face reviewed potential followers for the Heaven Ritual and selected Liu Ling, whose family and past seemed ordinary despite her son's attack on a cult gathering.
• Bull Face worried that a reborn enemy could predict the ritual date, then summoned an Incarnation to tell Liu Ling to prepare for the ritual that day.

Chen Feng followed Liu Ling and thirteen believers to Bull Face’s hidden Great Auditorium, where they received contradictory rules that could kill or possess anyone who followed them. As a believer began chanting the Holy Words, Chen Feng faced an apparent choice between burning to death and being brainwashed.

• Old Wolf told Chen Feng that a man in a Training Suit had summoned Liu Ling to the Heaven Ritual, and Chen Feng chose to follow them rather than wait until he could reach Foundation Establishment.
• Old Wolf used Windwalking to conceal himself and Chen Feng as they followed the man and thirteen believers to an empty lot, where a string of keys revealed the Great Auditorium.
• Chen Feng and Old Wolf entered the auditorium unseen as the believers sang the Holy Hymn and received Ascension Gospels containing two rules that forbade both chanting the Holy Words and listening to the hymn.
• The auditorium’s disappearance erased Chen Feng, Old Wolf, Liu Ling, and the believers from the outside world’s memories, while people elsewhere noticed reality’s unexplained changes.
• Chen Feng realized that chanting the Holy Words would make him burn while listening to the hymn would let Bull Face possess him, and a nearby believer began chanting.

Chen Feng endured Bull Face’s ritual by feigning death, then destroyed everyone in the auditorium, including the believers and Incarnations. Bull Face survived as a bodiless consciousness, and Chen Feng realized the mission was still incomplete because Bull Face remained alive.

• Bull Face survived without a body, while Chen Feng searched the auditorium and realized Bull Face was still alive.

Chen Feng uncovered the hidden rule in Bull Face’s Gospel Book, but reading it let Bull Face possess him. Bull Face revealed that he had used Cognitive Modification for millennia to make horrors tell the truth about their rules, and Chen Feng ended the chapter claiming Bull Face had taken the bait.

• Chen Feng forced Bull Face to reveal that his weakness was hidden in the Gospel Book, then read its six parables to find a way to defeat him.
• Chen Feng realized the titles’ first characters formed a warning not to read the Gospel Book, but Bull Face revealed that picking it up had allowed him to possess Chen Feng.
• Bull Face explained that Cognitive Modification had made horrors believe they had to follow rules and truthfully disclose them, creating the false belief that horrors could not lie.
• Bull Face began taking control of Chen Feng’s body and said Chen Feng could not escape possession.
• Chen Feng told Bull Face that he was trapped inside him and had finally taken the bait.

Chen Feng baited Bull Face into his mind, where the Netherworld Star nearly devoured the intruder, who escaped by erasing part of his own memories. Bull Face returned weakened and confident that Chen Feng could not harm him, but Chen Feng triggered a Foundation Establishment tribulation and trapped him in its heavenly lightning.

• Chen Feng began his breakthrough, and the tribulation's lightning engulfed the auditorium as Bull Face begged to be released.

Chen Feng and the three kings fought the Hell King in the subway, where they exposed her possession of Meng Chengcheng and learned how to exploit her weakness. A Golden Coin Taoist arrived with a perfected version of the Mayfly Record, while Chen Feng discovered the stolen spirit money was worthless Dead Money.
