Ye Fei prepared to undergo another tribulation with semi-finished materials, while the gods watching from the clouds predicted he would refine a top-grade divine artifact.

• The Queen warned the others to keep Feng An's lack of divine gear secret, but Lingbo pointed out that Elf God Fan was hinting in the Gods' Channel that he knew the Wind God's weakness.

Ye Fei tempered divine material with tribulation lightning and began preparing to refine divine gear, gathering materials for a defensive outfit. He left the chapter still planning his five-element material balance after faction members supplied what he lacked.

• Ye Fei explained that the tribulation was tempering divine material and the Artifact Refining Furnace's spirit, not the furnace itself.

• Lingbo realized that refining the divine artifact required energy, and Lingyan explained that spiritual energy could work in place of divine power.
• The Queen and Lingbo understood that Huang Yu had secretly provided the required energy, while Feng An smugly urged them to keep criticizing him.

Ye Fei and the gods discussed how Players’ Talents worked after several gods learned he was making a Peerless Divine Artifact and began using lie detection and divination to investigate him. Feng An revealed that neither he nor Long Heng had a Talent, and Lingbo recalled a Sea Race Player whose dangerous detection Talent had led gods to hunt them down.

After everyone teased Ye Fei about being a cub, Lingbo returned with an answer to her question about the Wind Gods’ lack of talents, leaving Feng An eager to hear what secret she had learned.

• Lingbo revealed that the Rules had answered her question about why the Wind Gods lacked talents.
• Feng An urged Lingbo to disclose the secret she had learned about him and Long Heng.

Lingbo explained that Long Heng lost his talent because Ye Fei’s talent was stronger, and the Queen concluded that the two talents were now shared through their unbreakable contract. Feng An then revealed that he could use the shared talent to see more than Long Heng or Ye Fei, frightening Lingbo, but clarified that he could not see what she had done inside the rules’ encrypted space.

• Lingbo said Long Heng’s talent had disappeared because Ye Fei’s talent was higher-level, and Long Heng and Feng An reacted with excitement.

After Feng An and Lingbo discussed the danger of keeping a secret, Ye Fei warned Long Heng about the cost of using his Talent Ability and worried about threats to Free and Unrestrained Mountain. When Lin Mu, Lin Xian, and Lu Heng returned from sparring with unexplained lapses in control, Ye Fei recognized that they might have been cursed and prepared to investigate.

• Feng An said Lingbo's secret would be dangerous if she kept it hidden, while Ye Fei and Long Heng ended their staring contest.

• Ye Fei found a message suggesting the players had been cursed and considered testing information Feng An had previously given him.

Ye Fei recalled Feng An’s explanation of curses and used his luck as Master of Free and Unrestrained Mountain to counterattack the curse attacks. He hoped the attackers would become nourishment for the mountain and all living things during the coming Disaster Period.

• Blue Feather healed the three injured patients, while the others watched Ye Fei stand in the snow and wondered what he would do.
• Lingbo worried that Ye Fei might not understand curses, and Feng An revealed that he had once explained their basic principles to him.

After 300 days, Ye Fei and Jun Mo chose to stay, and the world removed its divided maps as players entered a more physical stage of life.

• Ye Fei observed that players would now experience ordinary physical changes, and Jun Mo reasoned that those who stayed now belonged to the world.
• An apparent earthquake shook Free and Unrestrained Mountain, but Ye Fei identified it as the regions fusing and found he could choose whether the faction would connect to the outside world or remain a secret realm.

After the worlds merged, players’ identities and factions appeared in their friend lists, and Ye Fei learned that the Dragon Palace was under attack. He allied with the Dragon Palace, while the group anticipated a lively reunion between the Dragon Crown Prince and Long Heng.
