• The moth and centipede alternated attacks, trapping Qin Siyang, when the ground suddenly split open and shook.

Qin Siyang faced a third medium god, the Lava Crocodile, after his Feast Domain ended and left him unable to teleport. He briefly outran the slow crocodile, but the Ice Crystal Giant Moth and Corrosive Black Centipede blocked his escape and trapped him midair.

• The Lava Crocodile erupted from the ground, and Qin Siyang found that his Red Silk Armor could withstand ordinary magma.

• The Ice Crystal Giant Moth aimed its freezing hurricane at Qin Siyang's landing point while the Corrosive Black Centipede blocked the other route with green mist, leaving him with no safe place to land.

Surrounded by three unkillable medium gods, Qin Siyang reversed course and charged the Lava Crocodile, using his heat-resistant armor to cross the lava. He found a patch of exposed flesh beneath its belly and drove his dagger toward it.

• Qin Siyang kicked off a floating rock and reversed direction toward the Lava Crocodile after the Ice Crystal Giant Moth and Corrosive Black Centipede blocked his escape.

• Qin Siyang spotted a patch of exposed, swollen flesh near the rear of the Lava Crocodile’s belly and suspected it was vulnerable.
• Qin Siyang followed the turning Lava Crocodile and thrust his dagger toward the exposed flesh with all his strength.

Qin Siyang stabbed the Lava Crocodile’s exposed flesh and hid inside its body to escape the magma. He unleashed lightning through a narrow passage in its body, leaving the result uncertain.

• Qin Siyang drove the Short Hornet Dagger into the Lava Crocodile’s exposed lower abdomen, paralyzing it.
• Qin Siyang punched a shelter into the Lava Crocodile’s wound and climbed inside as the creature collapsed into the magma.

• Qin Siyang activated Deification Through Consumption with Thunder Snow Wolf meat and sent lightning through a gap in the Lava Crocodile’s muscular tube.
• Qin Siyang listened to the lightning crash through the Lava Crocodile and wondered whether it would kill the beast.

Qin Siyang used the Corrosive Black Centipede’s eyeball and [Deification Through Consumption] to spray corrosive mist into the Lava Crocodile’s body and kill it. He escaped onto solid ground, where the Ice Crystal Giant Moth and Corrosive Black Centipede approached him.

• The Lava Crocodile’s struggles subsided, its pulse stopped, and Qin Siyang confirmed it was dead.
• Qin Siyang leaped out of the Lava Crocodile and reached solid ground as the Ice Crystal Giant Moth and Corrosive Black Centipede closed in.

Qin Siyang stalled the Ice Crystal Giant Moth and Corrosive Black Centipede around the Lava Crocodile's corpse until [Feast Domain] came off cooldown. He activated the skill just as the centipede swallowed him, then reappeared a hundred meters above the ground.

• Qin Siyang planned to use the Ice Crystal Giant Moth's low-temperature ability to kill the Corrosive Black Centipede, but first needed to defeat the moth and obtain its God Remains.
• Qin Siyang used the lava's heat to hinder the moth and disrupt the centipede, buying time while he evaded them around the Lava Crocodile's corpse.
• The two Gods split up, with the centipede chasing Qin Siyang and the moth circling ahead to intercept him.
• After [Violence] wore off, Qin Siyang endured its painful side effects, activated it again, and kept dodging as his Red Silk Armor began to fail.
• When [Feast Domain] came off cooldown, Qin Siyang ate Lava Crocodile flesh and activated [Feast Domain] and [Deification Through Consumption] just as the centipede swallowed him.
• The Corrosive Black Centipede realized Qin Siyang was not inside its mouth and spotted him appearing a hundred meters above the ground.

• Qin Siyang swallowed the Ice Crystal Giant Moth’s remains, activated Violence, Feast Domain, and Deification Through Consumption, and advanced on the Corrosive Black Centipede.

Qin Siyang fought the Corrosive Black Centipede, but his ultracold hurricane missed and left him struggling to survive as his abilities ran low. He discovered the hurricane had weakened a patch of armor on the centipede’s head, then tricked it into dodging a fake attack before disappearing.

• Qin Siyang dodged the Corrosive Black Centipede’s corrosive mist and venomous stinger while preparing an ultracold hurricane.
• The Corrosive Black Centipede dodged the hurricane with a sudden midair twist, and Qin Siyang narrowly escaped its stinger.
• Qin Siyang realized the Corrosive Black Centipede had stopped attacking with its head and found a pale, cold-weakened patch of armor there.
• Qin Siyang saw the weak spot beginning to recover and decided he had to strike before the effect wore off.
• Qin Siyang pretended to unleash another hurricane, making the Corrosive Black Centipede roll away, then vanished from its sight.

Qin Siyang killed the Corrosive Black Centipede and collected the remains of it and the other three medium Gods. After packing his haul, he realized he was still lost beyond the Safe Zone and had only two weeks of food, then found red leaves in the Ice Crystal Giant Moth's stomach.

• Qin Siyang broke through the Corrosive Black Centipede's head armor and beat it to death after his [Violence] skill wore off.
• Qin Siyang dismantled the Corrosive Black Centipede, drank its brain matter, and stored its remains and corrosive fluid sac.
• Qin Siyang loaded the Lava Crocodile, Thunder Snow Wolf, Corrosive Black Centipede, and Ice Crystal Giant Moth into the Storage Box, keeping the moth's cold wings separate.
• Qin Siyang realized he still did not know how to return to the Safe Zone and decided to ration his remaining food.
• Qin Siyang searched the Ice Crystal Giant Moth's stomach for food and found red leaves, wondering where they had come from.

After identifying a fragment from the Ice Crystal Giant Moth as titan reed, Qin Siyang learned why powerful medium gods had gathered around it and what the rare plant could be used for. He inferred the titan reed lay to the left of his battlefield with the Thunder Snow Wolf and headed that way.

• Qin Siyang identified the red fragment as titan reed and read that the rare plant attracted and nourished powerful medium gods.
• Qin Siyang realized the Corrosive Black Centipede, Ice Crystal Giant Moth, and Lava Crocodile had cooperated because they could counter one another while sharing the titan reed's leaves.
• Qin Siyang learned that titan reed's leaves and roots were valuable and that urinating on it established a contract.
• Qin Siyang reasoned that the Thunder Snow Wolf had been drawn to the titan reed but driven away by the other gods.
• Qin Siyang spotted the traces of his battle with the Thunder Snow Wolf to the right, concluded the titan reed was to the left, and set off in that direction.

Qin Siyang found and harvested a titan reed, then stored its leaves after fending off three Mutated Scythe Beetles. Unable to find food or a way back to the Safe Zone, he ate a quarter of a compressed biscuit and fell asleep in the hole left by the reed’s roots.

• Qin Siyang identified a sprawling plant as a titan reed, dug down to its rootstock, and removed its disc carapace, causing the plant to die and its leaves to change color.
• Qin Siyang counted the titan reed’s leaves and kicked three approaching Mutated Scythe Beetles away before storing the shriveled leaves in his Storage Box.
• Qin Siyang searched the Ice Crystal Giant Moth and Corrosive Black Centipede for food but found only titan reed remains, then discovered the Lava Crocodile’s insides had been corroded beyond recognition.
• Qin Siyang ate a quarter of a compressed biscuit, admitted he did not know which way to go, and dug a sleeping space in the titan reed’s root hole.

Lost far beyond the Safe Zone, Qin Siyang searched for a route back and found the remains of a powerful hunter who had starved to death. With his supplies running low, he was rescued when Li Tianming finally found him.

• Qin Siyang repeatedly changed direction while trying to find the Safe Zone, but each route led him farther into danger.
• Qin Siyang discovered Qi Jiangnan’s skeleton and backpack, along with a note saying Qi Jiangnan had starved after someone sabotaged his navigation.
• Qin Siyang stored Qi Jiangnan’s remains and supplies, then retraced his steps to the place where he had fought the Thunder Snow Wolf.
• Qin Siyang realized his rations would last only another week and prepared to commit to one final route.
• A helmeted man approached Qin Siyang, revealed himself as Li Tianming, and said he had finally found him.

Qin Siyang ran into someone impersonating Li Tianming outside the Safe Zone and attacked after deciding the stranger meant to kill him. The fight continued after Qin Siyang pierced the stranger’s throat, but the attacker’s strange evasion and resistance left him unsure how to proceed.

• Li Tianming found Qin Siyang outside the Safe Zone and claimed Zhang Kuang and the others had sent him to search for Qin Siyang.
• Qin Siyang realized the newcomer was not Li Tianming because he failed to react to Qin Siyang’s familiar teasing, then accused him of being an enemy impersonator.
• Qin Siyang activated [Violence] and relentlessly attacked while the fake Li Tianming evaded every blow without fighting back.
• The fake Li Tianming insisted he did not intend to kill Qin Siyang, but Qin Siyang activated [Feast Domain] and stabbed him through the throat.
• The fake Li Tianming survived, reappeared while clutching his throat, and showed no apparent effect from Qin Siyang’s Short Hornet Dagger.

Qin Siyang killed the impostor who had disguised himself as Li Tianming and discovered he was Laudno, Furensa’s student. Soon afterward, the real Li Tianming cautiously approached Qin Siyang and verified his identity.

• Qin Siyang struck Li Tianming, and the wounded impostor used the Phantom Skill to reappear before collapsing.
• The dying impostor warned Qin Siyang not to tell Li Tianming about him, then breathed his last.
• The corpse’s face changed into Laudno’s, shocking Qin Siyang, who searched him but found no supplies or navigation device.
• Another Li Tianming appeared, approached cautiously, and asked Qin Siyang a question about Feng He to confirm he was Xiao Qin.

Li Tianming found Qin Siyang after both encountered people impersonating them, then explained that a group of professors had come to search for him. The two suspected the impostors were controlled attackers and feared the others might be in danger.

• Qin Siyang attacked Li Tianming over the stolen Sequence Potions, but Li Tianming restrained him and proved his identity by explaining how much stronger he had become.
• Li Tianming told Qin Siyang that Chang Tianxiang had tracked his location and that the search party had rushed out after his signal disappeared.
• Li Tianming explained that the professors had found signs of a fight but no trace of Qin Siyang, so they split up to search for him.
• Qin Siyang said an impostor had tried to kill him, and Li Tianming identified the dead impostor as Laudno, whose body had gelatinous blood.
• Li Tianming suspected controlled impostors were targeting the search party members one by one and listed the professors who had come to rescue Qin Siyang.

Li Tianming and Qin Siyang waited in the wasteland after Wu Yu’s electrical signal disappeared, suspecting the enemy had drawn him away. They realized someone among the eight people who knew Qin Siyang’s location might have betrayed them, leaving Li Tianming uneasy about what the suspicion would do to their allies.

• Li Tianming told Qin Siyang that Wu Yu’s signal had vanished hours earlier and guessed Wu Yu had switched off his phone after discovering something.
• Qin Siyang proposed using Morse code through their electrical signals to warn Chang Tianxiang, but neither he nor Li Tianming knew how to send it.
• Li Tianming said the impostor he killed was a student of Lister, while Qin Siyang revealed that his own attacker had been Furensa’s student.
• Qin Siyang said his attacker had claimed Chang Tianxiang revealed his location, and Li Tianming listed the eight people who had known where Qin Siyang was.
• Li Tianming and Qin Siyang considered who might be involved, ruled out several people, and faced the prospect of suspecting one of their remaining allies.

Li Tianming, Qin Siyang, Zhang Kuang, and Chang Tianxiong regrouped on the Wasteland and compared their encounters with impostors, while Lu Daoxing raced toward them underground, wounded and warning that there was a mole. The group waited for Lu Daoxing, unaware that an impostor impersonating him might already be approaching.

• Zhang Kuang joined Li Tianming and Qin Siyang, confirmed that impostors had copied private information, and reported that three powerful attackers had nearly killed him.
• Li Tianming and Zhang Kuang concluded that a mole had revealed Qin Siyang’s secret exit from the kindergarten and suspected that the enemy had planned its attack well in advance.
• Chang Tianxiong arrived without encountering any impostors, and the others wondered why the enemy had not targeted him.
• Lu Daoxing approached the group in a wheelchair, while a thousand meters underground the wounded Lu Daoxing treated his chest and realized that an attacker impersonating Old Hao had stolen his phone and prevented him from warning the others.

Qin Siyang risked approaching the wounded Lu Daoxing to give him medicine after Chang Tianxiong warned that Lu might be an impostor. Lu Daoxing woke and grabbed Qin Siyang’s hand as he tried to leave.

• Lu Daoxing returned badly wounded, confirmed the group’s identities, and passed out before answering their questions.
• Chang Tianxiong stopped Li Tianming from treating Lu, arguing that they had not proved he was really Lu Daoxing.
• Qin Siyang took the medicine and volunteered to approach Lu, reasoning that the impostor he might be would likely not attack him.
• Qin Siyang traded his damaged Red Silk Armor to Li Tianming for heavy black armor, then gave Lu the medicine.
• As Qin Siyang turned to leave, Lu Daoxing opened his eyes and grabbed his hand.

Lu Daoxing’s impostor restrained Qin Siyang and tried to force Li Tianming to kill Zhang Kuang, but Qin Siyang escaped when the real Lu Daoxing trapped the impostor in a dome. The real Lu Daoxing confronted his double, who realized he had survived.

• The impostor Lu Daoxing bound Qin Siyang, preventing him from activating [Feast Domain], and demanded that Li Tianming kill Zhang Kuang in exchange for Qin Siyang’s release.
• Li Tianming refused the demand, while Chang Tianxiong deduced that the impostor belonged to the [deceiver] Sequence and relied on God-Hunting Artifacts to fight.
• A hemispherical dome appeared around Qin Siyang and the impostor, releasing Qin Siyang from his restraints so he could use [Feast Domain] to escape.
• The real Lu Daoxing emerged from underground, and Li Tianming and the others recognized his God-Hunting Artifact.
• The impostor stared in terror as the real Lu Daoxing told him that someone would die.

• Lu Daoxing defeated the fake Lu Daoxing inside his light barrier and asked Li Tianming to verify his identity.
• Lu Daoxing warned Li Tianming, Zhang Kuang, and Chang Tianxiong that a mole had revealed their location and left the team vulnerable to attack.
