• Quan Yaofeng emerged from the woods enveloped in moonlight, and the guild players wondered whether Verzhini, the Moon Goddess, was protecting him.

Qin Feng hurried toward the Ax Mountain Ruins as Verzhini trapped nearly a thousand members of thirteen hostile guilds and repeatedly killed them with her orders and Moonlight Blades.

• Qin Feng killed the remaining Great Cold Country players openly as Dark Shadow and asked Verzhini to gather their Lifespan Orbs.
• Verzhini gave Qin Feng the Abyss Lone Wolf’s coordinates and used a moon-white sphere to collect the lifespan while Qin Feng flew to the monster.

Gray Chicken and Osilio demanded that the captives in the White Jade Maze surrender their valuables, while Shulakimir refused and tried to bargain by offering Qin Feng a powerful position in the Blood Tide Empire. The pets rejected his pitch, leaving the Blood Tide Empire Crown Prince still insisting that helping him return would be far more profitable.

• Quan Yaofeng recognized Gray Chicken as Dark Shadow's pet and immediately surrendered his equipment, then warned the Great Cold Country players that they were in Dark Shadow's territory.

Qin Feng killed the Abyss Lone Wolf and gained its bloodline, whose speed and lifesteal abilities strengthened him. He returned to the Judgment Grounds, where Shulakimir remained defiant and clutched an ancient creature’s scale, leaving Qin Feng curious about its power.

• Qin Feng returned to the Judgment Grounds and saw Shulakimir clutching an ancient scale as if preparing to resist.

Qin Feng judged the fourteen Great Cold Country players, then faced Shulakimir, who offered his Old-Day Starry-Sky Fish Scale to avoid being killed. Shulakimir’s last claim of pride was challenged when a black-mist figure appeared and took the scale.

• Qin Feng used the Blade of Judgment to send all fourteen Great Cold Country players into the White Jade Maze’s Dark Space for punishment.
• Qin Feng waited for the protective mist from Shulakimir’s Old-Day Creature scale to fade, then prepared to make Shulakimir drop his equipment.

• Gray Chicken took the scale while Shulakimir praised its value and offered to convert it into an item Qin Feng could use.
• A figure shrouded in sinister black mist appeared atop the White Jade Platform and reached for the scale.

Qin Feng discovered that Shulakimir had used an Old-Day Starry-Sky Fish Scale to counter his Greater Affixes, then forced him to hand over the Old-Day Containment Card hidden behind it. Qin Feng prepared to examine Shulakimir’s memories for information and loot, including clues about the Vampire Civilization.

• Qin Feng inspected the Old-Day Starry-Sky Fish Scale and learned it could absorb Greater Affix buildup, with its duration greatly extended by his stats.
• Qin Feng realized Shulakimir had likely intended to use the scale against his Instant Death Affix and deduced that Shulakimir must also possess an Old-Day Containment Card.
• Osilio threatened Shulakimir, who surrendered the Containment Card and claimed it was worth 350,000 to 400,000 years of tradable lifespan.
• Shulakimir explained that the Space Temple had monopolized Containment Cards and driven up their price, surprising Qin Feng with the potential value of buying them from Fairy Yuan.
• Qin Feng considered preparing his pets and mounts for the second stage of the Path of Finality, then activated Judgment to enter Shulakimir’s memories.

Qin Feng examined Shulakimir's memories and learned about the Land of Order, the Vampire Civilization, and the Blood Tide Empire. The memories ended with Shulakimir silencing doubts about his succession by awakening the Unique Hidden Class Corpse-Sewing Artist and an Epic Grade combat talent.

• Qin Feng reviewed Shulakimir's upbringing and learned that the Vampire Civilization had risen to become one of the Land of Order's thirty-six strongest civilizations.

Qin Feng learned Shulakimir’s past and the power of his Epic Grade talent, Blood Cry, after discovering that Shulakimir had been exiled from the collapsing Blood Tide Empire to Blue Star. Qin Feng claimed the talent while Shulakimir watched him handle the Old-Day Starry-Sky Fish Scale, unaware of what had happened.

• Shulakimir recalled how the nine other Vampire Civilization empires invaded the Blood Tide Empire after a permanent spacetime gate appeared within its borders.
• When Shulakimir was eighteen, his imperial uncle restrained him and exiled him through a Well of Souls to Blue Star.
• Qin Feng concluded that Shulakimir’s uncle had likely exiled him to save him from the Blood Tide Empire’s defeat.
• Qin Feng learned that Shulakimir had advanced his Corpse-Sewing Artist class to the sixth tier and possessed the Epic Grade combat talent Blood Cry.
• Qin Feng calculated that Blood Cry would increase his damage by 340.9% with his current health and claimed the talent as Shulakimir watched.

Qin Feng learned how Shulakimir’s health-focused build and Damage Limit equipment made “Blood Cry” so powerful, then killed him with Annihilation Blade. After resurrecting and discovering Qin Feng had seized his talent, Shulakimir swore allegiance to the Dark Shadow Emperor and offered him his Divinity Armament.

• Qin Feng realized Shulakimir had built up 90 million maximum health, allowing “Blood Cry” to grant a 616% independent damage bonus when activated.
• Qin Feng understood that Shulakimir’s Damage Limit equipment, shields, invincibility effects, and Mage skills had made him especially dangerous against groups of enemies.
• Qin Feng used Annihilation Blade to kill Shulakimir in the White Jade Maze before he could react.
• Shulakimir received a system notification that Dark Shadow had seized “Blood Cry” and that he could reclaim it after 24 hours by spending divinity.
• Shulakimir resurrected in the White Jade Maze, knelt before Qin Feng, pledged allegiance, and offered him his Divinity Armament.

Qin Feng judged Shulakimir after the Vampire crown prince surrendered his Divinity Armaments and lifespan, then offered to free him from the Godforsaken Game in exchange for complete obedience. Shulakimir accepted, and Qin Feng prepared to assign him work while considering where to send him.

• Shulakimir handed Qin Feng all his Divinity Armaments and more than sixty-two thousand years of tradable lifespan to prove his allegiance.
• Qin Feng offered to free Shulakimir from the Godforsaken Game and let him travel between Blue Star and the Game World if he obeyed completely.
• Shulakimir was stunned by Qin Feng's power and realized Verzhini, whom he had once opposed, was also working for Qin Feng.
• Qin Feng judged Shulakimir, increasing the Blade of Judgment's base attributes by 27% and its divinity limit by 27 points.
• Qin Feng canceled Shulakimir's judgment punishment after seeing that he had committed no sins, then wondered where to send his new subordinate.
