• Qin Feng and Gui Ling received buffs, and Qin Feng gave her potions before entering the gate.
• Qin Feng arrived at the Path of Finality’s second stage and prepared for its challenge.

Qin Feng began the second stage of the Path of Finality, a repeatable boss challenge against the Obsession of Ilyana, Angel of Finality. He exploited her damage-limit attribute and killed her immediately, leaving the challenge ready to continue with her first defeat.

• Qin Feng entered the second stage and read the rules for fighting the Angel of Finality, whose attributes would grow after each defeat.
• Qin Feng inspected the angel's 13 attributes and decided to keep doubling her damage limit because Goddess of Death's Mercy ignored it.
• Qin Feng started the round as the angel's petrified form broke apart and she prepared to fire a golden arrow.
• Qin Feng used Thieving Saint's Hand and Thousand-Blade Strike to kill the Angel of Finality as soon as she awakened.

Qin Feng repeatedly killed the Finality Angel Yiliyanna’s obsession while strengthening her attributes, using his damage and skills to overcome her growing defenses. By the seventeenth kill, he had risen to below four hundred in the cross-civilization ranking and believed he could keep killing her through the twenty-fourth round.

• Qin Feng killed Yiliyanna’s obsession four times with Thousand-Blade Strike, doubling all thirteen of her attributes as her damage limit fell.
• Qin Feng used Killing Shadow and Goddess of Death’s Mercy to keep killing the increasingly durable angel, climbing into the top thousand rankings.
• Qin Feng recognized that her rising greater resistance and affix-clearing speed would make instant-death effects unreliable, so he prepared to rely on overwhelming damage.

• Qin Feng killed Yiliyanna for the seventeenth time, rose to below four hundred in the overall ranking, and estimated he could keep killing her through round twenty-four.

Qin Feng used Bone Authority to test a way to control the rapidly accelerating Finality Angel, then continued killing her until his twenty-fourth kill placed him in the top thirty of the Path of Finality Rankings.

• Qin Feng activated Blood Cry and unleashed Finishing Mark, Annihilation Blade, Thousand-Blade Strike, and Instant Annihilation.

• Qin Feng slowed and stripped the round 29 Finality Angel, then let her kill Gray Chicken so he could retain Hellfire’s buffs.

• The round 30 Angel’s health reached zero, but she remained alive and told Qin Feng he had reached the Endlands’ second-trial limit before inviting him to collect his rewards.

Qin Feng cleared the Path of Finality Second Stage and received a Divine Book that could create Hearts of Order. He questioned whether using one would force him to leave the Cycle, while Finality Angel · Yiliyanna was stunned by how quickly he had achieved his high score.

• Qin Feng kept his distance from Finality Angel · Yiliyanna until she offered to give him part of his rewards first.
• Qin Feng learned that game-time weighting raised his final score to 5,618,461, far above the previous first-place score.
• Qin Feng received Divine Book · Heart of Order, which could create Hearts of Order to transfer order effects from equipment into his body.
• Qin Feng wondered whether using a Heart of Order would make him leave the Cycle and asked Finality Angel · Yiliyanna.
• Finality Angel · Yiliyanna realized Qin Feng had cleared the stage little more than three months after entering Godforsaken Game and was left bewildered by his score.

Qin Feng received the Path of Finality Second Stage’s top rewards and followed the Finality Angel, Yiliyanna, to her golden palace to claim a Holy Seal. He kept the powerful ring despite pretending its stats did not suit him, and Yiliyanna offered him an extra reward after seeing through his act.

• Yiliyanna explained that the Hearts of Order awarded in the stage had the suffix “Cycle,” so they would not turn Qin Feng into an Ascender.
• Yiliyanna led Qin Feng through a hidden golden gate to her palace and said awakening her earned him a Holy Seal that could command the Offering Legion.
• Yiliyanna retrieved the Queen Angel’s Holy Seal, whose abilities included group invincibility, a major attribute boost, and strong resistance to greater affixes.
• Qin Feng pretended the ring’s stats were unsuitable for an Assassin but decided to keep it because it granted command over the Offering Legion.
• Yiliyanna saw through Qin Feng’s attempt to prompt an extra reward, then chose to give him one anyway.

The Finality Angel gave Qin Feng a Blood Devouring Book that could raise his pets’ and mounts’ grades, then warned him about the old man at the third stage of the Endlands. After returning to the Abyssal Path, Qin Feng reviewed his rewards and equipped the Queen Angel’s Holy Seal, preparing to manufacture a Heart of Order despite his divinity shortage.

• The Finality Angel gave Qin Feng a Blood Devouring Book with eight uses remaining and explained that it could raise a pet’s or mount’s grade using ten matching boss blood souls.
• The Finality Angel said she had helped Qin Feng because she sensed he would join her faction, then warned him not to believe what the old man said at the third stage of the Endlands.
• Qin Feng teleported to the entrance of the Abyssal Path and saw that Gui Ling was still challenging the Path of Despair while Demon Beast Tamer · Madman Nuke had flown toward North America.
• Qin Feng considered the steep divinity cost of manufacturing Hearts of Order and discovered he lacked enough divinity to make one.
• Qin Feng replaced Ulrich's Ring of Extreme Cold with the Queen Angel's Holy Seal, reducing some of his damage while greatly improving his other attributes.

Qin Feng gained a massive increase in Greater Resistance and used a Heart of Order to make Lone Wolf Action his first self-owned order. Lingche explained how innate divinity differs from equipment-granted divinity, leaving Qin Feng with a clearer understanding of how orders can be negated.

• Qin Feng equipped the Holy Authority Seal, raising his total effective Greater Resistance to 12.787 million and increasing his divinity limit to 11,016 points.
• Qin Feng filled the Divinity Inherent Bracelet and used 10,000 divinity to create a silver Heart of Order with the Divine Book.
• Qin Feng used the Heart of Order to integrate Lone Wolf Action, gaining his first self-owned order and removing the order effect from Ulrich's Ring of Extreme Cold.
• Qin Feng discovered that negating later self-owned orders required divinity costs equal to the square of each order's sequence number.
• Frost Sprite Lingche explained that equipment-granted divinity incurred multiplied costs when countering self-owned orders, while innate divinity could negate each order for one point per second.

Qin Feng absorbed the Lone Wolf Action order and decided to visit Jinling’s Inverted Pyramid to raise the usage level of his White Bud Blade. The chapter explained how players obtained Pyramid Keys and introduced the two teams that had entered the pyramid most often.

• Qin Feng spent 10,000 divinity to create a Heart of Order: Cycle and integrated the Lone Wolf Action order into his body, gaining doubled movement speed when alone with nearby enemies.

• Qin Feng teased White Bud about her level and nickname, and she demanded that he call her by her name instead.

• The chapter identified Flying Dragon Admiral’s team and the guild Direct Shuttle to the Underworld, led by Boss Yama, as the main groups that had entered the pyramid.

Qin Feng decided to travel to Jinling and kill the Pyramid boss in one go to obtain a complete key. As the Jinling Government and the Express to the Underworld guild prepared to fight the boss, they learned Dark Shadow was coming, and the chapter ended with the Jianghai team reacting to the news.

• Qin Feng learned the Jinling Government had summoned the Diamond Tier Pyramid boss but had not fought it, so he told Late Night, Light Rain to warn them to wait and set off for Jinling.
• Players across Jinling traveled toward the boss in Fangshan, while the Express to the Underworld guild struggled to compete with the Jinling Government team, strengthened by players from Jianghai.

• The Express to the Underworld players debated whether Dark Shadow could kill the boss before they landed a hit and secured rewards.

• An Yu relayed Qin Feng’s plan to Jinling’s official team and the Underworld guild’s raid team, who were shocked that he wanted them to let the boss advance.

Players in Jinling gathered to help Qin Feng raise the Ancient Mechanical Hunter to legendary tier, despite fearing its immense HP and lethal attacks. Qin Feng arrived and effortlessly dodged the boss’s assault, leaving the crowd stunned as the fight began.

• An Yu explained that the players needed to advance the Ancient Mechanical Hunter from epic grade to legendary tier by planting bombs in all forty-nine of its joints, while Flying Dragon Admiral and many players agreed to help.
• Guild Leader Yanwang and other players considered leaving because the upgraded boss could kill them, but more than half the crowd stayed, convinced Qin Feng could protect them.

• Qin Feng landed in the meteor crater and told the group to begin.
• The Ancient Mechanical Hunter attacked Qin Feng with dozens of mechanical arms, but he stood still and dodged every strike, astonishing the players.

• Qin Feng dodged nearly every attack from the Ancient Mechanical Hunter, and Flying Dragon Admiral ordered the stunned players to surround it.

• Chen Wuming caught a bomb and stuffed it into the boss’s leg joint, then a mechanical arm speared him from above.

Qin Feng suppressed the Epic Grade Ancient Mechanical Hunter by stripping its greater affixes and reducing its attack power below zero, letting players safely damage it until it released mechanical bombs. The players caught the bombs to advance the boss toward Legendary Tier, while they wondered how Qin Feng would handle its next phase.

• Chen Wuming and Flying Dragon Admiral’s players planted bombs in all eleven of the boss’s mechanical legs, triggering its advancement to Epic Grade.
• Qin Feng stripped the boss’s greater affixes as it advanced, leaving its black mist unable to build up instant death meters.

• The players damaged the boss until it released more than four hundred mechanical bombs.
• Flying Dragon Admiral rallied the players, who jumped up to catch the bombs and prepare to advance the boss to Legendary Tier.

Qin Feng suppressed the Ancient Mechanical Hunter while other players planted its mechanical bombs, then killed it the instant it advanced to Legendary Tier. The boss and Qin Feng disappeared, leaving the players to review recordings that revealed its 12.5-trillion-HP bar had vanished in a single silent attack.

• Qin Feng stripped the Ancient Mechanical Hunter's affixes and weakened its attack, leaving the Epic Grade boss unable to fight while nearby players attacked it with mechanical bombs.
• An Yu, Black Plum Big Li, Wang Meng, Snowy Day and other players filled the joints of the boss's forty-nine mechanical legs with bombs, while Boss Yama's bomb exploded harmlessly and blackened him.

• Qin Feng gained 6,480 base Evolution Points and another 194,000 from Greedy Eye, then synthesized loot and acquired a Melee Invincibility order.
• Qin Feng considered using city public boss battles to farm Evolution Points because the Ancient Mechanical Hunter had rewarded far more than an ordinary legendary boss.
• Qin Feng's Abyss Puppet killed the level 69 corpse demon Drifting and obtained an Abyss Shrine.

Shadow Blade reached Immortal Tier with zero cooldown and a powerful damage-stacking effect, leaving Qin Feng ready to multiply his damage against bosses.
