• Qin Feng approached the Idol prepared to counter any order effect, while Osilio teased him about its appearance and fell silent when Qin Feng threatened him with Brother Jie.

Qin Feng left Gray Chicken to watch the Long-Tailed Snake Goddess Idol while he farmed demons outside the Tōto ruins and evolved Thieving Saint’s Hand to mythic tier. By the third day of Desolation Spread, he had resumed saving evolution points and chose to upgrade Dual-Blade Mastery and Shadow Blade.

• Qin Feng found no way to interact with the Long-Tailed Snake Goddess Idol, so he left an invisible Gray Chicken there to watch for Comrade Teshima Ichirō.

• Teshima Ichirō knelt before the Long-Tailed Snake Goddess Idol, and his expression changed with excitement after something unexpected happened.

Qin Feng watched Teshima Ichirō worship the Long-Tailed Snake Goddess Idol and suspected its apparent attribute rewards came from a deceptive order that manipulated worshippers’ perceptions. He saw Teshima and his followers carry the idol into a rift to the real world, then realized the future Legendary Tier Long-Tailed Snake Demoness was setting a trap that Qin Feng planned to exploit.

• The Long-Tailed Serpent Woman Demon’s black mist killed 130,000 people, and survivors filmed the corpse-covered orb while waiting to see whether Dark Shadow could stop her.

Qin Feng negotiated with the Sakura Country Government as he absorbed lifespan, unaware Yanagi Mina planned to act against Teshima’s orders.

• Teshima Ichirō’s group learned that the idol had become a boss and killed over a hundred thousand people, and Teshima worried about losing potential attribute gains.
