Qin Feng faced Great Soul Master Sheferika’s Soul Seizure challenge, where a mutated Withered Tree Bird used Primordial skills to enter an untargetable Soul State and siphon Soul Energy. Unable to end the state by reducing its duration, Qin Feng prepared to use an Old-Day Creature Skill that could remove buffs without hitting the target.

• Great Soul Master Sheferika selected a Withered Tree Bird vessel and copied seven Primordial skills onto it through Soul Seizure.
• When the countdown ended, Qin Feng attacked with Space-Shattering Shadow Kill and Instant Annihilation, but his strike passed through the bird in its untargetable Soul State.

• The Withered Tree Bird drained Soul Energy from Qin Feng, but White Bud reported that its Soul Energy recovered almost immediately.
• Qin Feng concluded that he needed to remove the bird’s buffs without hitting it and prepared to use an Old-Day Creature Skill.

• Qin Feng used Old-Day Whale-Swallowing Black Hole to strip away the Withered Tree Bird’s soul-state buffs and force it back into its original form.
• Sheferika attacked Qin Feng with Soul Siphoning and a Primordial Electric Orb, but White Bud absorbed the soul damage while Qin Feng’s shadow clones killed the vessel by stripping its damage reduction.

• The vessel repeatedly resurrected and used Soul Siphoning while Qin Feng repeatedly killed it, leaving Qin Feng stunned by its revivals and Sheferika baffled that six siphons had not killed him.

Qin Feng struggled to defeat Great Soul Master Sheferika, whose vessel repeatedly resurrected with Heaven’s Forsaken while her Soul Siphoning failed to weaken him. He consulted Yue Shangyan about countering the resurrection, then revealed that he was the Successor to the Bone Grand Authority to test whether Sheferika’s faction was an ally.

• Great Soul Master Sheferika repeatedly used Soul Siphoning on Qin Feng, but he remained unharmed as the Withered Tree Bird resurrected again and again.
• Qin Feng asked Yue Shangyan how to counter Heaven’s Forsaken, and she explained that its invisible Heaven Well could be destroyed or that she could absorb the vessel’s soul with her mirror.
• Yue Shangyan offered to use a wisp of the vessel’s soul to take control of Great Soul Master Sheferika’s entire soul, but Qin Feng refused to hand it over before learning whether she was an ally.
• Qin Feng decided to test Sheferika’s faction and repeatedly killed the Withered Tree Bird while explaining his concerns to Yue Shangyan.
• Qin Feng told Great Soul Master Sheferika that he was the Successor to the Bone Grand Authority and asked whether the Soul Seizure faction would give him preferential treatment.

Qin Feng learned that the Withered Tree Bird planned to summon the Successor to the Soul Seizure Grand Authority, whose power could seize the souls of beings with Soul Seizure Authorities. Yue Shangyan saw a chance to capture parts of both opponents’ souls, but Qin Feng insisted on safeguards before agreeing to the plan.

• The Withered Tree Bird recognized Qin Feng as the Successor to the Bone Grand Authority and offered to summon the Successor to the Soul Seizure Grand Authority.

• Yue Shangyan promised to put the captured soul portions to sleep and extract them into Soul Droplets for Qin Feng to keep and monitor.

Qin Feng met Night Shadow Gabriel, who claimed to wield three grand authorities and offered him Primordial skills through soul seizure. Suspecting the offer was a trap, Qin Feng rejected it and attacked Gabriel through the Withered Tree Bird.

• Qin Feng decided to wait and see whether the successor to the soul seizure grand authority would contact him in person.
• Night Shadow Gabriel appeared through the Withered Tree Bird and introduced himself as the wielder of the soul seizure, wish, and revival grand authorities.

• Gabriel presented Qin Feng with a prompt to accept soul seizure, but Qin Feng suspected he wanted to inspect or mark his soul.
• Qin Feng attacked the Withered Tree Bird with Thousand-Blade Strike and Existence Erasure, then threw the Yue Shang Mirror above it.

Qin Feng used the Yue Shang Mirror to subdue Great Soul Master Sheferika and Night Shadow Gabriel, then learned from their soul memories that Gabriel was not allowed to harm him as the Bone Grand Authority successor. He kept Gabriel under his control despite discovering that Gabriel had betrayed partners before, and considered how difficult it might be for Gabriel to escape the Soul Droplet.

• Qin Feng attacked as the Yue Shang Mirror froze the High Minor Authority challenge space and extracted soul fragments from Great Soul Master Sheferika and Night Shadow Gabriel.
• Yue Shangyan gave Qin Feng Soul Droplets that let him view the souls’ memories, control whether their true forms were dormant or awake, or erase them.
• Qin Feng learned that the Bone and Soul Seizure Grand Authorities prevented their successors from harming each other and could grant permanent divinity-limit bonuses under certain conditions.
• Qin Feng discovered that Night Shadow Gabriel had killed a partner to obtain the Wish Grand Authority, so he decided not to trust him completely despite the mix-up.
• Qin Feng asked whether Gabriel could escape the Soul Droplet or resurrect after being killed, and Yue Shangyan said he could resurrect but that ordinary players could not sever the soul connection.

After considering the effects of Soul Droplets, Qin Feng awakened Great Soul Master Sheferika, leaving time to speak with her before the challenge sequence resolved.

• Qin Feng learned that Night Shadow Gabriel’s talents let him absorb light and endlessly stack combat stats while he remained in darkness.
• Qin Feng saw that Night Shadow Gabriel had reached four million times his base stats before level 100, though his weaker skills had limited his damage compared with Qin Feng’s.
• Qin Feng reasoned that endlessly stacking stats required increasingly long periods of time to produce each new order of magnitude in damage.
• Qin Feng asked Yue Shangyan whether taking someone’s Soul Droplet harmed them, and she said it did not.
• Qin Feng used the Soul Droplets to awaken Great Soul Master Sheferika, restoring light and warmth to the space around Death Curse.

He planned to use Soul Droplets and sleep-wake cycles to pass secret messages with allies in Highest Heaven, then began the challenge for the Soul Seizure High Minor Authority.

• Great Soul Master Sheferika warned Qin Feng that Night Shadow Gabriel might sever their connection if awakened, and said the Wish Elves were protecting Gabriel in Highest Heaven.

• Sheferika pointed out the Heaven Well and explained that light-attribute damage could break through it, so Qin Feng hurled Demon Shadow Blades toward it.
• As Night Shadow Gabriel fell asleep in Highest Heaven, alluring cries of surprise sounded in the darkness.

• Qin Feng taught Sheferika to communicate with him using telegraph code and explained how they could use Awakenings to send messages.

• Qin Feng refused to let Yue Shangyan absorb Night Shadow Gabriel's Soul Droplet until she explained why she wanted to absorb souls.
• Yue Shangyan explained that the Yue Shang Mirror had created the Mirror World, where the Primordial Mirror Clan arose as soul-based beings unable to enter the physical universe.

• Qin Feng left the challenge space with Yue Shangyan and received an Origin Divine Stone, which he decided to save for later.

• Qin Feng calculated that the Freedom Grand Authority’s brief bursts of speed cost so much lifespan that long-distance travel was impractical.

• Qin Feng gave Gui Ling a level-balanced, new god tier copy of Threat Intuition, which could grow stronger by accumulating years as she killed monsters.

• Qin Feng examined his new innate divinity and realized it let him give skills divinity influence and negate enemies’ self-owned orders.
• Qin Feng blessed Dance of the Moon, Shashaya, Shiluohua, Little Su, Wu Dile, and his other subordinates, making them free holy spirits and copying Source of the Greater for them.

• Qin Feng saw his Desirelessness Grand Authority attributes fall from 6,666 to 3,333 and realized that raising multiple stats could multiply his damage enormously.

Qin Feng planned to travel to Three Thousand Immortal Sounds’ blueprint world to deliver Deathblade Rifts and take on her opponents. As Three Thousand Immortal Sounds faced a coalition resisting her protection fees, Qin Feng arrived at the passage to her world, where an even more powerful ruler was about to appear.

• Qin Feng stopped enhancing his stats because his desirelessness mindflow talent consumed stored desire rapidly, and he planned to gather more by clearing opponents in other blueprint worlds.
• Qin Feng calculated that his damage could reach tier 50 with basic boosts and tier 51 to tier 52 at its peak, then decided to visit Three Thousand Immortal Sounds and deliver her Deathblade Rifts.
• In Ruins Era · Blueprint World No. 000745, Three Thousand Immortal Sounds controlled only about half of the civilizations and temple factions, while many others resisted her protection fees.
