Sheng An and the others chased a mutant fish mint up the mountain, but it vanished just before they caught it. Sheng An sensed danger and led the group downhill as the mountain erupted, while Song Linwei and Zhang Kun discovered that all four small mountains were erupting.

• Ji Yani, Jiang Yu, and Sheng An chased the mutant fish mint uphill, with Liu Miao, Cheng Bairuo, and Gu Qiansheng following behind.
• Ji Yani caught up to the fish mint, but it vanished before she and Jiang Yu could grab it.
• Sheng An noticed the wind and ground growing more dangerous, then shouted for everyone to run downhill.
• A volcano erupted behind them, sending a mushroom cloud, flying rocks, and magma across the mountain.
• Song Linwei and Zhang Kun fled from the eruption, then saw three more mountain peaks erupt and block their way.

Four simultaneous volcanic eruptions trapped Song Linwei, Zhang Kun, Ji Yani, Sheng An, Jiang Yu, and their teammates, forcing them to choose between fleeing and staying together. Sheng An chose not to abandon anyone, but Jiang Yu’s space inexplicably failed to hold them, leaving the group in immediate danger.

• Song Linwei and Zhang Kun realized the Four Small Mountains had become a trap as lava erupted around them, while Ji Yani struggled over whether to save Sheng An and Jiang Yu or stay with everyone.
• Lava struck Liu Miao, Cheng Ruobai, and Gu Qiansheng, and the helicopter could not reach the group through the eruptions.
• Song Linwei urged Ji Yani to take Sheng An and Jiang Yu to safety, and Gu Qiansheng accepted that he might die so they could escape.
• Sheng An ordered Ji Yani to stop, and Jiang Yu used her vines to pull the eight of them together before bringing them into her space.
• The group immediately reappeared at their original location, and Jiang Yu’s repeated attempt to bring them into her space failed.

Sheng An and the others struggled to escape a ring of lava as their spatial abilities repeatedly failed. Just as the group accepted their deaths, Sheng An realized something and blew a whistle.

• Gu Qiansheng suspected a powerful superpower was interfering, while Zhang Kun's repeated attempts to raise his barrier also failed.
• As the lava neared their feet, Sheng An declared that she finally understood, reassured Jiang Yu, and blew a piercing whistle.

Sheng An and Qi Lingwu rescued their scattered team from the volcanic eruption, and Jia Guangliang healed their worst injuries. Sheng An revealed that the apparent attempt to leave the Southwest had been bait to draw the team into an enemy trap, and resolved to confront the culprit preventing their escape.

• Long Tianyu and Wu Buyu carried Sheng An, Jiang Yu, and the others away as lava consumed the helicopter and engulfed the area below.
• Wu Buyu landed the group beside Qi Lingwu, Jia Guangliang, Li Wanyun, and Li Xin, who had returned from their supposed attempt to cross the Southwest border.
• Jia Guangliang used Group Healing to save the team's dying members, while Song Linwei lent him his remaining superpower to restore their fatal wounds.
• Gu Qiansheng and Song Linwei realized that Sheng An and Qi Lingwu had used the team as bait, and Li Xin explained that Qi Lingwu had brought their group back before reaching the border.
• Sheng An explained that M had lured them into the Southwest, where a Blood Pool Otherkind was likely waiting to eliminate them, and said she had entered the trap deliberately to find and defeat the culprit.

Sheng An explained that she had deliberately lured the Blood Pool Otherkind into attacking so she could confirm its ability. The group learned that the Southwest was likely one enormous Blood Pool, and Sheng An revealed the enemy’s ability was time.

• Li Wanyun asked whether Sheng An had knowingly used the group as bait, and Sheng An admitted she had risked their lives to draw out the enemy.

• Sheng An revealed that the Blood Pool Otherkind had a rule-and-order-type time ability.

Sheng An and the others deduced that a Time Otherkind had manipulated time in the Southwest, causing their apparent resets and the disappearance of fragments and Otherkind. They concluded the mutant fish mint was likely alive in the Southwest’s third-month-of-doomsday layer, and Sheng An spotted an enormous convoy approaching from the Southwest Market.

• Sheng An explained that a Time Otherkind had pulled the group back through time, while the lava continued to flow in the present.
• Jia Guangliang realized the Time Otherkind could have taken the fragments in the past, making them disappear from his present.
• Sheng An and Qi Lingwu reasoned that the mutant plant had been hunted by the Time Otherkind and was likely still alive in the third month of doomsday.
• Song Linwei and the others concluded that the Southwest contained two temporal layers: the third month and the third year of doomsday.
• Sheng An looked toward the Southwest Market and announced that the approaching convoy had arrived.

Hao Jingye’s convoy arrived to support Sheng An’s group, and Sheng An explained how the Blood Pool and Time Otherkind were using accelerated time to harvest deaths across the Southwest. With a lead at last, she prepared to locate the Time Otherkind through Qin Xuan’s Prophecy and ordered him to target the mutant plants.

• Hao Jingye brought Wan Yuan, Yu Feng, Jiang Huanshu, Zhuang Fan, Qin Xuan, Old Qin, and others to support Sheng An’s group, and explained how he had deduced they might need help.
• Sheng An told the newcomers that the Blood Pool and Time Otherkind were accelerating time in the Southwest to collect blood from mass deaths and nourish the Otherkind.
• Sheng An explained that Qin Xuan had not used Prophecy earlier because they lacked a lead, then prepared the group for battle as the noncombatants moved back.
• Sheng An ordered Qin Xuan to use Prophecy on the mutant plants, with Zhuang Fan and Song Linwei assisting him; Song Linwei poured his power into Qin Xuan as Zhuang Fan began repeating, “Hit.”

Sheng An’s team used Qin Xuan’s prophecy to locate the Mutant Fish Mint and the Time Otherkind at the lava-covered center of Four Small Mountains. Sheng An and Qi Lingwu split across two time periods to trap their enemy, and Qi Lingwu’s first attack forced it to disappear into another time.

• Qin Xuan used his prophecy to locate the Mutant Fish Mint and spotted someone else at the center of Four Small Mountains before Old Qin stopped him.
• Sheng An ordered Wu Buyu and Long Tianyu to carry the group toward the lava, while Li Wanyun and Li Xin stayed behind to guard everyone else.
• Qi Lingwu and Mountain Blossom jumped into the lava as Sheng An used her remaining power and the meteorite fragment to send them into the Time Otherkind’s third month of Doomsday.
• Wu Buyu saw Qi Lingwu and Mountain Blossom emerge unharmed inside the earlier time period, while Sheng An prepared to hold the third year of Doomsday.
• Qi Lingwu attacked the dark figure as soon as he arrived, but the Time Otherkind vanished into another time.

• Wu Buyu and the others spotted the Time Otherkind, and their attacks disappeared when it manipulated time.
• Sheng An reached the creature and slashed its neck, but she sensed something was wrong when it vanished.

• Li Wanyun and the others recognized its second superpower as Zhang Jialiang's Undying Body.
• The Time Otherkind taunted Sheng An and threatened to kill someone important to her and the cat.

Sheng An and her allies tried to keep the undying Time Otherkind from traveling through time to kill more people. As the shadow began to escape the barrage, a bloody hand seized its wrist.

• The shadow threatened Qi Lingwu and Mountain Blossom by warning that it could erase the third-month doomsday time layer, while Li Xin attacked it and watched time rewind his strikes.
• Hao Jingye urged Li Xin to keep attacking so the shadow could not travel through time, and Li Wanyun, Long Tianyu, Wu Buyu, and the others joined the assault in a relentless relay.
• Hundreds of SWAT officers surrounded the battle zone, while Gu Qiansheng proposed combining his superpower with Song Linwei's to strengthen an ally.
• The shadow claimed the team could not exhaust its superpower, but the fighters continued attacking as it grew increasingly agitated.
• The shadow began traveling through time to kill someone, but a bloody, scorching hand grabbed its wrist and held it back.

Sheng An held the Time Otherkind in place while it began collapsing the third month of doomsday, threatening Qi Lingwu and Mountain Blossom. She forced open a brief distortion in time to give them a chance to escape, and the chapter ended with the Mutant Fish Mint’s leaf emerging through the gap.

• Sheng An restrained the dark figure, and it revealed that the third month of doomsday was collapsing around Qi Lingwu and Mountain Blossom.
• Sheng An concluded that the dark figure feared her time superpower, while Li Xin, Long Tianyu, Li Wanyun, and Liu Yue continued attacking it.
• Sheng An spent her remaining strength to open a fleeting distortion in time and called out to Qi Lingwu.
• Qi Lingwu and Mountain Blossom rushed toward the distortion, but the dark figure disrupted it and caused it to collapse.
• Sheng An spotted the Mutant Fish Mint’s leaf poking through the gap and ordered it to stop moving.

Sheng An deduced that the shadow had gained its undying-body superpower only after being captured, leaving a chance to kill them in the third month of doomsday. Although the shadow proposed a draw and a temporary retreat, Sheng An refused and declared that she would win.

• Sheng An used the mutant fish mint’s temporal breach to help Qi Lingwu and Mountain Blossom return from the third month of doomsday to the third year.
• Hao Jingye realized that the shadow’s undying body was a superpower, and Sheng An deduced that M had granted it after the shadow was captured.
• Sheng An concluded that the shadow could be killed by rewinding time in the third month of doomsday, before they acquired the undying-body superpower.
• Hao Jingye warned that the third month had collapsed, while the shadow threatened Jiang Yu and the others and proposed they call the fight a draw.
• Sheng An refused the shadow’s offer to withdraw and declared that she would win.

Sheng An drew on Gu Qiansheng’s energy to turn back time through the fissure held open by the mutant plant, forcing the Time Otherkind to struggle against her. In Capital City, officials discovered the Southwest had become a vortex and Qiu Yu requested permission to go there.

• Sheng An continued overloading her power and held the Time Otherkind in place while Song Linwei transferred Gu Qiansheng’s energy to her, leaving both men unconscious.
• Sheng An sensed her time power and sent a clock hand through the warped fissure toward the mutant plant.

• Sheng An used Gu Qiansheng’s energy and the mutant plant’s fissure to turn time back, while the Time Otherkind fought to break free and the Mutant Fish Mint struggled to escape.

Sheng An struggled against the Time Otherkind to rewind the collapsed third month of doomsday to the moment it gained an undying body. Qi Lingwu realized he could use his King's Anchor to kill it from inside, and he gave up his chance to escape so Mountain Blossom could help him reach the past while Sheng An held the enemy in place.

• Sheng An briefly rewound the collapsed timeline and saw the moment she needed, but the Time Otherkind dragged time forward and threatened to kill her.
• Qi Lingwu deduced that Sheng An was trying to rewind time so the Time Otherkind could be killed before gaining its undying body, and recognized that his King's Anchor could help.
• Sheng An realized Qi Lingwu could act from inside the collapsed timeline and shouted for him to escape first, but he did not answer.
• Qi Lingwu sent Mountain Blossom toward the gap, then let go of the mutant plant and ran toward the Four Small Mountains to anchor the past.
• Mountain Blossom stayed with Qi Lingwu and used its superpower to help him, while Sheng An held the Time Otherkind fast and unleashed Song Linwei's amplified power.

Sheng An killed the Time Otherkind and used meteorite fragments and her own blood to restore her superpower. She revealed her true ability as the master of time and began returning the Southwest’s forcibly advanced years to their proper course.

• Qi Lingwu anchored the Time Otherkind in the third month of doomsday, then destroyed that time layer with a gunshot as Sheng An and the others held the enemy in place.
• The Time Otherkind vanished with the third year of doomsday, leaving meteorite fragments behind, and Hao Jingye told Jiang Yu that Qi Lingwu and Mountain Blossom had sacrificed themselves.
• Sheng An used her blood to draw energy from the meteorite fragments, restoring her depleted superpower as her companions waited and a giant clock appeared behind her.
• Sheng An formed a Time Hand from the gathered energy and pushed the clock’s hands backward, revealing her order-and-rule superpower over time.

Sheng An manipulated time to reverse the Southwest’s destruction, while Qiu Yu and Qu Yi witnessed the ruins restoring themselves. In the collapsed time layer, Qi Lingwu and Mountain Blossom were close to giving up when a trembling green leaf appeared.

• A returning Superpower Person watched Southwest Market and its people rewind and vanish as time ran backward.
• Qiu Yu ordered Qu Yi to enter the Southwest, then saw the mist disperse and the devastated land begin restoring itself.
• Sheng An searched the river of time for an anchor point and enveloped Fish Mint with a strand of energy.
• Mountain Blossom sheltered Qi Lingwu in a loophole but neared the limit of its overdrawn superpower.
• A green leaf began trembling and glowing in the collapsed time layer as Qi Lingwu and Mountain Blossom prepared to give up.

Sheng An rewound the Southwest to the third month of doomsday, restoring its proper timeline and bringing Qi Lingwu and Mountain Blossom back alive. The group discovered they could leave the Southwest again, while the Mutant Fish Mint mourned its lost leaf.

• Mountain Blossom held the loophole open while Qi Lingwu anchored a leaf in time, and Sheng An used the Time Hand to restore the Southwest to its proper course.
• Qi Lingwu and Mountain Blossom emerged alive, and Qi Lingwu and Sheng An supported each other after the rewind.
• Qiu Yu arrived and told the group that the Southwest and the outside world were both back in the third month of doomsday, with the fog and wormhole gone.
• The group realized Sheng An had rewound the Southwest, and Jia Guangliang panicked when he found himself still there despite the timeline change.
• Sheng An confirmed she had kept Jia Guangliang, Old Chu, and Xiao Xi with her, while the Mutant Fish Mint raged over losing a leaf.

After returning from the mission, Sheng An explained to Qiu Yu that she would sacrifice anything to protect the country and its people. The convoy found survivors restored by the reset, and Qi Lingwu understood that Sheng An’s power gave people back their most precious thing: time.

• Qiu Yu questioned whether Sheng An had been willing to sacrifice Qi Lingwu, and Sheng An said she would have told him to act if she had found no other way into the second time layer.
• Qi Lingwu reminded Qiu Yu of the Team 0 Principles and motto, and Sheng An declared that she would sacrifice anything, including herself, to win when the country and people's lives were at stake.
• Qiu Yu left with Qu Yi toward the Capital City Base as the convoy spotted a populated shelter.
• Cheng Bairuo developed a fever, and Jia Guangliang was moved to see that Cheng and his family were alive again.

As the team prepared to return to the Capital City, Sheng An revealed that she had seen the Time Otherkind’s appearance, though Qi Lingwu had not.

• Hao Jingye, Gu Qiansheng, and Song Linwei greeted Liu Miao, who did not recognize them, while Sheng An introduced herself to the E3 Shelter director.
• Wan Yuan restored communications with the Capital City and reported that the Research Institute wanted the team to return with Old Chu, Xiao Xi, and the mutant plant.
• Sheng An explained to Pang Jun that the Southwest would not necessarily be free of future Otherkind, and agreed to take only Old Chu to the Capital City.
• Hao Jingye and Song Linwei organized the return, while the rest of the Special Affairs Office helped the Southwest address its problems.
• Qi Lingwu asked Sheng An what she was hiding, and she said she had seen the Time Otherkind’s appearance.

Sheng An and Qi Lingwu completed the Southwest Miasma mission and resolved to return to Capital City Base to investigate the suspicious superpowers and track down M. As the convoy prepared to leave, the Mutant Fish Mint attacked Jiang Yu and Academician Zhou before Sheng An caught it by its leaf.

• Sheng An told Qi Lingwu that the Time Otherkind had shown her face, shifting between her own and Zhang Jialiang’s, and she wondered whether it was a puppet with time powers.
• Qi Lingwu noted that the Southwest seemed to contain several supposedly unique superpowers, and Sheng An urged him to return to Capital City Base and pursue M.
• Cheng Bairuo, Liu Miao, and the others teased Jia Guangliang about his former role as the God of Light and urged him to behave himself in the Special Affairs Office.
• Academician Zhou explained that the Mutant Fish Mint should stay out of Jiang Yu’s space so it could adapt to the wasteland, but the plant lashed them with its roots when it heard them criticize the plan.
• Jiang Yu chased the Mutant Fish Mint as it taunted her, until Sheng An caught it by its leaf and warned it not to lose its last one.

After the team escaped the Southwest, they celebrated Sheng An’s newly awakened time superpower and the allies and gains they had brought back. Old Qin warned that M’s true identity and location remained unknown, leaving the group uncertain whether defeating the Time Otherkind had harmed M at all.

• Jiang Yu argued with the Mutant Fish Mint, which made leaves sprout from her head before Academician Zhou took it away.
• Sheng An’s convoy left the Southwest by a newly cleared route so Old Chu could use his Yin-Yang Eyes to screen the regions along the way.
• Jia Guangliang tried to take Mountain Blossom’s watermelon, and Long Tianyu mocked him about his past.
• Hao Jingye congratulated Sheng An on awakening a time superpower, and the group celebrated the strength she and their new allies brought to humanity.
• Old Qin pointed out that they still did not know who or where M was, and Old Chu hesitantly began to speak.

After leaving the Southwest, Sheng An and the convoy continued toward Capital City, carrying new questions about the Time Otherkind and the mysteries of Doomsday. Jia Guangliang joined the Special Affairs Office, and the group neared Stone City with acid rain approaching.

• Old Chu admitted he could not tell that the shifting shadow Sheng An fought was an Otherkind, and Sheng An suspected it might not be a person.
• Sheng An postponed discussing the mystery until the group returned to Capital City and had more information.
• At F19 Shelter, Miao Yuan told Sheng An that the residents were moving to F3 before heading to Southwest Base, and Jia Guangliang decided to join Group B of the Special Affairs Office.
• The convoy traveled for fifteen days and reached the vicinity of Stone City, with Capital City only a day away and acid rain approaching.
• Hao Jingye showed Long Tianyu real-time images of construction in Capital City, prompting Li Wanyun to remark that he knew too much.

Sheng An's team rushed to Stone City after receiving a report that Qiu Yu was gravely injured, only to learn the crisis there had already been resolved. Qiu Yu realized the false report had lured Sheng An and Jia Guangliang away, leaving their convoy exposed to an attack.

• Hao Jingye received an urgent report that Qiu Yu was gravely injured at the Meteorite Research Institute, so Sheng An took Qi Lingwu, Wu Buyu, and Jia Guangliang to Stone City.
• Hao Jingye learned that Lou Mingwei was also gravely injured and that an unusually powerful Otherkind had attacked the Institute alongside others.
• Sheng An's group reached the Institute and found Lou Mingwei bloodied but recovering after Jia Guangliang healed him.

• Qiu Yu recognized that someone in the Capital City's leadership had sent a false report to lure away Yin-Yang Eyes, and Wu Buyu warned that Old Chu was in danger.

Sheng An realized Old Chu was in danger and rewound her own time to return to the convoy, while the others raced after her. They arrived after a shadow-wielding assassin had killed Old Chu, and Sheng An reappeared beside his body.

• Sheng An rewound her own time and returned to the convoy, while Wu Buyu, Qi Lingwu, Qiu Yu, Qu Yi, and Lou Mingwei hurried after her.
• A teenage assassin emerged from the shadows inside the vehicle and slashed Old Chu’s neck with a poisoned filament.
• The convoy members attacked and captured the assassin, but Hao Jingye confirmed Old Chu was dead despite Jiang Yu and Song Linwei trying to save him.
• Doctor Yan recognized the attack as a conspiracy that had drawn away the time and healing users and Qi Lingwu.
• Sheng An reappeared in her seat beside Old Chu’s body.

Sheng An reversed time to save Old Chu from an assassination, then discovered the attacker had been using the Puppet Ability to imitate Cheng Bairuo. She ordered everyone to return to Capital City while Qi Lingwu carried her into the vehicle.

• Sheng An used Time Reversal to restore Old Chu and Long Tianyu to before the assassination, then captured the attacker despite the severe cost to her body.
• Qi Lingwu returned with the others and supported Sheng An as she revealed the attacker's face, which looked identical to Cheng Bairuo's.
• Qi Lingwu killed the attacker, whose face changed into that of an ordinary Otherkind without a Superpower.
