Ch. 226Truth and deception

Xu Ye learned more about Zhou Meifang’s connection to the Apocalypse Church and planned to eliminate Father Hall before the Shenchuan Family uncovered his identity. He confronted Father Hall at the church and accused him of killing Zhou Meifang, but the outcome of their encounter was left unresolved.

  • Xu Ye reviewed records linking Zhou Meifang to the Apocalypse Church and learned that money had been transferred from her accounts after her death.
  • Xu Ye used Heart Simulation and saw that entering a Prayer Room could expose him to a dangerous ability, so he decided to lure Father Hall outside instead.

Ch. 227A sudden turn

Xu Ye lured Father Hall into a graveyard and exposed his role in Zhou Meifang’s death, but Father Hall trapped him with his fully developed Slowness ability. A mysterious swordswoman struck Father Hall down, and Xu Ye recognized her as Li Yunyao before she vanished into the Red Moon.

  • Xu Ye led Father Hall to an abandoned graveyard and revealed that he was investigating Zhou Meifang’s death for the Holy Grail Contest.

Ch. 228Dreamscape Sea

Xu Ye used Father Hall’s memories to uncover the Shenchuan Family’s plans and recovered a preserved Sequence 8 talent, while Shen Xinghai’s team destroyed the Apocalypse Church. The Bandit Lord then revealed that the Land of Exiles and every Awakened holding a Key might be trapped in a vast dreamscape, with Xu Ye’s real body possibly still aboard the plane.

  • Xu Ye used Soul-Seizing to search Father Hall’s memories and learned that the Shenchuan Family was gathering intelligence, pursuing the Holy Grail, and had plans involving Sky City.

  • Shen Xinghai reviewed evidence of the Apocalypse Church’s crimes and ordered his team to bombard the church, then leave before drawing attention.
  • Xu Ye returned home and found Li Yunyao safe, then asked the Bandit Lord what had happened to her.

Ch. 229Dark Night Servant

Xu Ye learned that the Holy Grail had drawn the Land of Exiles into a dream governed by rules that could make dream deaths real, and he arranged to have Shenchuan Sato killed. Alice recruited Lü Xiao Dao for the mission, then Xu Ye realized Alice had entered Lü Xiao Dao’s dream and made him a Dark Night Servant.

  • The Bandit Lord told Xu Ye that the Holy Grail had created a shared dream based on Li Yunyao, restricted powerful Sequence Talents, and could make dream deaths carry over into reality.

  • After Alice returned, Xu Ye deduced that its Soul-Seizing ability let it enter dreams and create a Dark Night Servant, while allowing it to block a Sequence 5’s scrutiny.

Ch. 230Layer upon layer of outsourcing

  • Alice told Xu Ye she could use Delusion to win four people's trust, mark them, and lend them Shadow Sneaking, which the Bandit Lord explained was part of the soul-seizing sequence.
  • Lü Xiao Dao used Shadow Sneaking to reach the ruined Apocalypse Church, then went to the Mushroom Society and offered a high-tier Sequence 8 talent to assassinate Shenchuan Sato.

  • Shenchuan Sato rebuilt himself from pig organs with the Harvest Mother Goddess’s power and escaped into the kitchen, but a Red Veil-wearing man stabbed him through the chest.
