• Xiao Mengyu activated Panda Iron Man's Law Tree after Shen Ye warned her that his affinity with the Law of Fate made him uneasy.
• In Evernight City, Cassandra warned Shen Ye that a monster beneath the Truth Land had controlled her, so Shen Ye used his gate to escape with Xiatelai, Su Su, and her surviving strand.

After Ulric defeated Adrian, Shen Ye learned that Wang had disguised himself as Ulric and planned to kill the Saints. Shen Ye redirected Wang to the Truth World, survived the Saints’ coercion, and received methods of reaching sainthood as he resolved to share the knowledge openly.

• Ulric announced Adrian’s defeat, and Xiao Mengyu persuaded three Destruction Supreme Gods to pursue their fleeing allies and serve her.
• Good Duckie received a trial notice naming him a candidate for King of the Dream Realm, then the Time Saint froze time to warn Shen Ye about Wang and the Truth World.

• Shen Ye received the Saints’ Method of Reaching Sainthood and decided to make their cultivation knowledge open to everyone.

Shen Ye defied the Saints’ plan to destroy the Dream Realm World, used Wang’s saber and a recorded message to make them postpone its destruction, and was transported away to face a trial for sainthood. Xiao Mengyu was sent to the Destruction Faction’s base, where she defeated one Destruction Supreme God and forced two others to submit to a ritual.

• Xiao Mengyu used her Dharma Form to weaken everyone in the secret chamber, while Shen Ye protected the group from the Time Saint’s attack and hid them inside his Dharma Form.
• Shen Ye argued that the Saints risked Wang’s wrath if they blocked his path to sainthood, and the Saints offered him the Law of Corruption instead of agreeing to preserve the Dream Realm World.
• Shen Ye wielded Wang’s saber to make the Saints hesitate, then vanished into the trial; his video warning Wang caused the Saints to abandon their plan to destroy the Dream Realm World and rig the trial against him instead.
• Peaso brought Xiao Mengyu to the Destruction Faction’s base and relayed Shen Ye’s instructions, telling her to handle the Poem of Eternity and avoid joining his battle.
• Xiao Mengyu killed a Destruction Supreme God who tried to attack her and used her swordsmanship and pressure to make two more agree to perform the destruction submission ritual.

Xiao Mengyu gained the destruction power of all twelve Main Gods and received a mission to find and destroy a truth construct hidden among humanity. Meanwhile, Shen Ye entered the Dream Realm trial, learned how to prepare for the Time Saint, and awakened the Yin-Yang Fate Warden Dharma Form as their battle began.

• Xiao Mengyu absorbed the twelve Main Gods’ destruction power, learned it formed a law, and received the mission to destroy a truth construct concealed among humans.

• Shen Ye used the mayor’s gift to advance his Dharma Form to Yin-Yang Fate Warden and prepared to fight again.

Shen Ye and Black Duck fought the Time Saint in the Dream Realm, using resurrection, sunlight, and the duck’s explosive Trait to keep attacking him. As their battle continued, young Shen Ye entered the Trial’s second level while the Town Mayor absorbed Dream Realm Source Power and took a desperate action of his own.

• Shen Ye repeatedly challenged the Time Saint, whose Time Arts killed him and reversed attacks, while Shen Ye’s Blade Art evolved into Jumping Blade.
• Xiatelai healed Shen Ye, and sunlight from his Yin-Yang Fate Warden repeatedly resurrected him as Black Duck joined the fight.
• Black Duck’s explosive Trait slowed the Time Saint long enough for Shen Ye to draw blood, but the Saint reversed time to try to prevent further resurrection.
• Shen Ye used his inexhaustible Eternal Power and reversed his Dharma Form to restore sunlight, then charged the Time Saint while Black Duck appeared behind him and said, “Bloom, chrysanthemum.”
• Young Shen Ye brought Dream Realm Source Power to the Town Mayor, who let him pass the first stage and proceed to the Trial’s second level.
• The Town Mayor absorbed the Source Power, formed a ladder of Dream Realm Runes, sent white light into the void, and collapsed from exhaustion.

Shen Ye bought time in the first trial while the Saints gave him the humiliating negative trait “The Lowly,” but he used his own trait to turn the insult against the Time Saint before the Ten Thousand Worlds. Meanwhile, Good Duckie led an allied army into a parallel nightmare trial, and another Shen Ye continued cultivating outside the second trial.

• Panluo Mizhi Demon King agreed to target Shen Ye for payment, but Shen Ye vanished to practice swordsmanship, leaving Good Duckie to enter a separate nightmare trial.
• Good Duckie summoned Micteticashiva, Norton, and the allied forces, then sang to raise his side’s skills before the battle against an identical world began.
• Shen Ye fought the Time Saint to buy time for his other selves, and the Saints used the Ten Thousand Worlds Vision to let the Time Saint give him the negative trait “The Lowly.”
• Shen Ye used “Behind-the-Scenes Figure” to alter the trait into an insult about the Time Saint being blasted by a duck, and the Time Saint gained the negative trait “Stalwart.”
• Outside the Second Trial Grounds, another Shen Ye continued cultivating through the “Fast Cultivation Guide” and aimed to reach Truth Twenty-First Rank.

The Ten Thousand Worlds Survival Council tried to stop Shen Ye from pursuing the Dream Realm law, warning that its growth could draw the Ten Thousand Worlds toward the terrifying Other Shore. Shen Ye refused, retreated into his Underworld Dharma Form, and chose to continue the trial while Good Duckie learned that the Dream Realm’s Higher-Dimensional Ladder led directly to the Other Shore.

• The Ten Thousand Worlds Survival Council reversed time, raised Shen Ye’s threat level, and offered him another law if he abandoned the Dream Realm law.
• Shen Ye rejected the Council’s warning, accused the Saints of hiding their motives, and entered the Underworld using his Yin-Yang Fate Warden Dharma Form.
• The Council ordered five Battle-Type Saints to help the Time Saint kill Shen Ye, while Shen Ye told the Truth Constructs to join his other self and continue the trials.
• Death Hoodlum entered the Underworld to attack Shen Ye, but Shen Ye expelled him and used sunlight to prevent him from returning.
• Good Duckie’s team passed the Second Trial, and Paper Figure revealed that the Higher-Dimensional Ladder would be completed if Good Duckie passed one more trial as the Dream Realm’s King.
• Paper Figure told Good Duckie that the Higher-Dimensional Ladder led straight to the Other Shore.

Good Duckie survived a dream trial on the Truth World battlefield by absorbing and redirecting the aftershocks of Wang and the monster’s clash, then returned to the Dream Realm as a Saint. It received the completed Higher Dimension Saint Ladder and discovered that the ladder recognized Xiatelai and Su Su’s origins as proof it had visited The Other Shore.

• Paper Figure explained that the Higher Dimension Saint Ladder held treasures left by Saints who had explored The Other Shore, then sent Good Duckie into the third trial, End of the Dream.
• The Time Saint, Death God, and Eternal Darkness Saint revealed that they knew about the ladder and had marked Shen Ye with the Ten Thousand Worlds Protection Saint Net, while Shen Ye’s doppelganger vanished from the first trial.
• Good Duckie arrived in the Truth World and hid inside a passage in the World Barrier to survive the devastating battle between Wang and the being beneath the Truth Land.
• As the barrier began to collapse, Good Duckie used Mandala Ouroboros to absorb the battle’s aftershocks and the Mandala Chant to release them, holding off the destruction until the dream ended.
• Good Duckie returned to the altar, became a Saint, and received the completed Higher Dimension Saint Ladder while the mayor warned that the Conservative Faction was surrounding them.
• The ladder declared Good Duckie a Saint who had explored The Other Shore and granted it about five Truth Constructs, leading Good Duckie to realize that Xiatelai and Su Su’s origins had triggered the recognition.

Shen Ye escaped the Dream Realm after mastering its laws, while Good Duckie found a hidden refuge prepared by the Radical Faction and used its Chosen Crystal to take on a new identity. As Jiu, it joined the Ten Thousand Worlds Survival Council, but its attempt to blend in ended in a violent fight with a coworker.

• Shen Ye reached the twenty-first level of Truth, gained recognition from the Dream Realm Laws, and fled before the Saints could surround him.
• Good Duckie climbed the Higher Dimension Saint Ladder, met a winged skeleton in a dream, and chose a prepared hiding place instead of going to The Other Shore.
• Good Duckie received a Chosen Crystal, Riftbee bloodline, and false identity as Jiu, a descendant of a Radical Faction Saint.
• Jiu met Jie, joined the Ten Thousand Worlds Survival Council, and said she wanted to recover her mother's remains.
• Jiu transformed into a human woman and introduced herself to her new department as a Riftbee Clan member.
• After a coworker insulted her, Jiu attacked and beat her with a metal box.

Jiu started work in the Aether Affairs Department, where she discovered a disguised, potentially dangerous finger from the Aether and learned that her gate ability was damaged. She began absorbing the Shara Twin Trees inheritance to repair it, then attacked Xiaohua after Xiaohua insulted her mother and accused her of using Jie to get hired.

• Jiu used Jie's backing to make her bosses accept her, then intimidated Xiaohua when she tried to play the victim at work.
• Qing Lang took Jiu on field duty, where she saw Aether above the Ten Thousand Worlds and helped store a black finger that her gate ability identified as disguised and unidentifiable without a gate ability.
• Jiu returned to her dormitory, learned from Jie that he was not responsible for the Aether Affairs Department, and asked how to repair her damaged gate ability.
• Jiu summoned the mayor and learned that gate abilities came from The Other Shore; she received Ulric's Shara Twin Trees inheritance, which began merging with her Spirit-Communicating Gate and was expected to repair it in 24 hours.
• Xiaohua confronted Jiu with several coworkers and insulted Jiu's dead mother, so Jiu kicked open the door, seized Xiaohua, and began beating her as the others rushed in.

Jiu fought her way through punishment and threats at the Ten Thousand Worlds Survival Council, then learned that Jie had died and left her his estate. Wang summoned her through the Blade of Laws to extract a curse, and after she sent it away, a vast dark figure appeared outside the Council building.

• Jiu exchanged abilities with Xu Xingke, defeated four attackers, and was confined after seriously injuring them.
• A man threatened Jiu in the confinement room and said he would kill her, so she beheaded him; the enforcement squad later returned her to confinement.
• Jiu learned that Jie had died in battle and left her his belongings, but she decided to remain confined to protect her identity.
• Wang joined his dream realm with Jiu's, and she extracted a curse element from him before he inscribed the Blade of Laws to conceal and remove it.
• Jiu recited “Curse, Be Gone,” and the blade destroyed the curse; meanwhile, Xiaohua's grandfather prepared to have Jiu killed after her confinement ended.
• A dark figure stretching from heaven to earth appeared outside the Ten Thousand Worlds Survival Council building.

Jiu saved the newly conscious curse by feeding it her Threads of Fate art, then received Saint Jie’s estate despite asking for it to be frozen. During forced overtime in the sealed-object warehouses, she discovered others were setting her up for negligence and triggered the release of the Finger of Rahu; black flesh began devouring the warehouse as alarms sounded.

• A newly conscious curse appeared before Jiu in frozen time and begged her for food, so she fed it her Threads of Fate art and it survived.
• The curse shared records showing it had devoured the building’s rune-based Spellcraft, while Jiu resumed studying the Sainthood Method.
• The enforcement team released Jiu from confinement, and the Saints handed her Saint Jie’s estate despite her request to freeze it and destroy it if she died.
• Xing Can ordered Jiu to work overtime inspecting warehouse seals, where Su Su found dangerous objects and a concealed passage to the Grade-B Warehouse.
• Jiu detected a failing seal in the Grade-D Warehouse and alerted the Professionals, then learned that someone was remotely removing seals in her assigned area.
• Jiu had Su Su release the Finger of Rahu first and told it that the Saints planned to destroy it; it broke free, spreading black flesh through the warehouse as the alarms rang.

After the Curse fell dormant, Jiu fused its cultivation knowledge with Wang’s Sainthood Method and gained a sequence that could advance her toward the Great Saint Realm. She completed its first mission by killing a would-be assassin with Jumping Blade, gained one-third of a Saint’s power, and waited in confinement as the investigation began.

• Saints sealed the misclassified A-grade finger, and Jiu was placed in isolation for observation.
• When the finger returned in the form of a Saint, the Curse took over Jiu’s body, frightened it into retreating to its seal, then fell dormant and gave Jiu knowledge that fused with Wang’s Sainthood Method.
• Jiu received the Hidden Assassination mission to kill a man in the building’s thirty-seventh-floor office, while Xiaohua persuaded that same man to target Jiu after her release.
• Jiu used Jumping Blade from confinement to kill the man, completed the mission, and absorbed enough power to reach one-third of a Saint’s level.
• Professionals entered Jiu’s confinement room, but she convinced them her Laws-touching fist technique proved she was not the killer and exchanged abilities with Xu Xingke to gain his Mountain and River Saint Emperor Fist.
• Jiu remained in confinement with an alibi and chose to sync her improved fist technique with her Hot-Blooded Comrades.

Jiu stayed in the Aether Affairs Department after its leaders offered her better conditions, then discovered the Rahu Finger was probing her and hiding the arrival of its other body parts. A new quest forced her to use her saber to leap backward through time and cut into the aether, leaving her pursuing the Finger’s parts.

• Xing Can and Qing Lang offered Jiu transfers from other departments, but she chose to remain in the Aether Affairs Department for stable work, reasonable pay, and little overtime.
• Jiu learned from a guard that a newspaper had named her the goddess closest to the laws, and she resolved to become a Saint sooner.
• Jiu spoke with the Rahu Finger in the grade D warehouse, where it offered to help her master a Sainthood Method while trying to learn what she was and what abilities she possessed.
• A quest called “Buried in Aether” appeared, ordering Jiu to destroy the Rahu Finger’s other body parts within a thirty-minute reverse countdown.
• Jiu found a Sequence Compass in her dormitory and realized the Rahu Finger had used time reversal to plant it after learning she had a Sequence.
• Jiu swung her saber to leap backward through time, then cut through space and the building as she soared into the aether.

Shen Ye crossed Aether, joined a gathering of powerful beings hunting Rahu, and learned how Rahu’s scattered body parts could be worn down through repeated attacks. He used that knowledge to destroy the Finger of Rahu, then received a new mission to use the Compass to build a nest and complete a Sequence Fragment.

• Shen Ye’s Jumping Blade carried him through Aether to a wooden house, where a group of hunters discussed Rahu and its stolen Compass.
• Shen Ye shared that Rahu had a Compass, earning a Jumping Dice from a cloaked man; the others revealed that Rahu’s separate body parts could only kill one target at a time and that the Compass’s nest could belong to whoever conquered it.
• After the gathering expelled him, Shen Ye returned to the Grade D warehouse and attacked the Finger of Rahu with successive forms, using a duck and another doppelganger to keep fighting until the Body of Rahu was destroyed.
• Shen Ye escaped back to the dormitory, where Jiu learned that she had completed the mission and earned her second portion of Saint power.
• The temporary Sequence assigned Jiu the mission “Nesting,” requiring her to use the Compass to devour the temporary Sequence, build a nest, and place a Sequence Fragment inside it.

Jiu triggered nest construction, discovered the Dharma Realm concealed an upside-down mountain of black coffins, and learned that the finger intended to seize the nest. Meanwhile, Shen Ye joined forces with three powerful figures, entered the Dharma Realm as the nest opened, and defeated the first black shadow monster.

• Jiu accepted the nest-building mission, and the Dharma Realm revealed a vast mountain of black coffins as the sequence granted her the Nest Builder Trait.
• The second finger confronted Jiu but left to pursue the nest, while Jiu realized only she could officially begin construction and went to the Survival Association building.
• Shen Ye met the long-haired man, the Cloaked Man, and the Stars Woman, then used the Jumping Dice to evolve his gate ability into the Forbidden Land Gate.
• Shen Ye and the three others entered the Dharma Realm as the coffins opened and black creatures attacked, killing many Professionals and sealing off escape.
• Shen Ye used the Nest Builder Trait and Xiao Mengyu's Rain of Stars Seeds Dharma Form to weaken a monster, then killed it with Jumping Blade.
• The Cloaked Man gave Shen Ye a powerful blade in gratitude, and the long-haired man and Stars Woman moved to protect him.

Shen Ye and his powerful allies survived the battle against the Saints, and the Long-Haired Man killed the Time Saint. When the Nest’s entrance opened, Shen Ye gathered his team and Wang to enter, while concealing his Forbidden Land Gate ability; four people entered the passage, leaving five places open.

• The Saints formed Dharma Forms to shelter Professionals, but the Time Saint recognized Shen Ye and accused him of stealing the Dream Realm laws.
• Shen Ye shielded his team with the Great Wall Dharma Form and persuaded them to keep the Saints alive as useful test subjects; the Long-Haired Man then killed the Time Saint.
• Shen Ye fused three Other Shore Treasured Blades into Night God, a Truth Weapon with a chance to take an item from an enemy.
• The black coffins descended and opened as entrances to the Nest, which could admit only nine competitors, while Wang and the Truth Land monster arrived.
• Shen Ye used Forbidden Land Gate to conceal the group’s movements, and the Cloaked Man, Stars Woman, Shen Ye, and Wang entered the passage, leaving five slots.

Xiao Mengyu learned that Shen Ye was working at a KTV and rushed to rescue him, while Shen Ye entered the Nesting Passages and overcame their trials. He reached the inner square, where the pocket watch began sacrificing those who could not justify staying, and Shen Ye survived by revealing a property certificate created by the nest.

• Xiao Mengyu told Song Yinchen that Shen Ye was at the Ten Thousand Worlds Survival Council, then mistook a booklet for proof that he had become a male host and headed to the Supreme Entropy Emperor KTV to rescue him.
• Shen Ye and the other contenders split among nine Nesting Passages, where their desires appeared and threatened to slow them; Shen Ye destroyed the property certificates in his path and kept flying.
• Hungry Ghost attacked the contenders, but Shen Ye sent its spells through his Gate, while Stars Woman, Wang, and Cloaked Man were distracted or forced to flee before returning to the passage.
• Shen Ye reached the exit first, and the pocket watch warned that anyone who had not arrived within a minute would be erased; Shen Ye used the Spirit-Capturing Net to warn Cloaked Man, who arrived just before time ran out.
• The pocket watch began sacrificing the eliminated contenders and demanded reasons for the survivors to remain; it rejected the Saint's justification and killed the Saint.
• Shen Ye showed the pocket watch a property certificate he had stolen from the nest and claimed he owned a home there, satisfying its test.

Shen Ye and the others survived the Nest’s selection, but Pocket Watch immediately put them through a new test: protect the beings gestated from their deepest obsessions for thirty minutes. Shen Ye’s incarnation turned out to be an ordinary man whose sole ability was to quit, then to lie flat after Shen Ye empowered him.

• Shen Ye summoned Panda Iron Man’s upgraded Safe House, while the long-haired man and his separated body fought over which one could remain in the Nest.
• Pocket Watch accepted Wang’s reason for staying, but the Nest killed Hungry Ghost and absorbed its power into the sphere of flesh.
• The cloaked man proved he had rented space in Shen Ye’s house, and Shen Ye used a second Property Deed to let him stay; two blades paid as rent boosted Shen Ye’s Night God Blade’s item-stealing chance to 70%.
• The long-haired man returned with the corpse of his other self, the Finger of Rahu, leaving Shen Ye, the cloaked man, Rahu, and Wang as the four survivors.
• Pocket Watch began a thirty-minute test in which the four had to keep their gestated beings alive against powerful monsters: Wang received three guards, the cloaked man an enormous catapult, Rahu four elemental creatures, and Shen Ye an ordinary man.
• Shen Ye activated Hymn Songstress to raise the man’s ability by one tier, but the man’s ability changed from quitting to lying flat.

Shen Ye passed the Nest’s hatchling trial when his manifestation of Lying Flat made the monsters ignore him, and he gained a Saint Skill before being sent with Wang and Rahu into a deadly stretch of human history. After Rahu split from them, Shen Ye realized that the history around them had been created by the Nest and that they were still inside it.

• Shen Ye discovered that his Lying Flat manifestation was supported by the laws, causing monsters to ignore it and granting him and the Nest an effortless victory in the hatchling trial.
• The Nest recognized Shen Ye, advanced his King Skill to Saint-level, and gave him the Saint Skill Calamity Curse Evil Eye.
• Pocket Watch eliminated the cloaked man, leaving Shen Ye, Wang, and Rahu to enter a trial where they had to survive inside history for three days.
• Rahu entered the Human Race Gate first, forcing Shen Ye and Wang to follow him into the dangerous stretch of history.
• Shen Ye and Wang rejected Rahu’s offer to work together, and he left them after Shen Ye warned him not to approach.
• Shen Ye designated Traits as the strongest ability type and realized that the stretch of history had been created by the Nest, meaning they were still inside it.
