Recaps

Yang Yi and Su Na assessed their growth after the Wind Fly battle, then reached Steam Island and inspected its reconstruction. Yang Yi left Seerte to explore and went to the Nightmare Star to test the Hunt effect.

• Yang Yi gave Su Na the Wind Fly flesh and other materials, and she showed him her status panel with her newly strengthened Witch Body.
• Yang Yi hurried to train in the Shelter after seeing how much Su Na had grown.
• The Shelter reached Steam Island, where Yang Yi used Three Eyes to inspect its new weapons, robots, and plans for a larger, layered structure.
• Yang Yi docked the Shelter with Steam Island and led everyone inside, where construction was still underway and the One-Eye Cult's designers argued over their church site.
• Yang Yi sent Seerte to find Haken and went to the Nightmare Star to test the Hunt effect.

Yang Yi tested the Wind Fly’s Hunt trophies, considered using its mimic head to lure the Storm King into a future battle, and distributed the spoils from a giant Mimic he caught while fishing. He then called Banks to help enlarge the Fool’s Short Sword.

• Yang Yi found that the Wind Fly’s mimic head could suppress storms but would summon the Storm King if mocked, and he stored it after considering a possible future ambush.
• Yang Yi saw injured players fishing in Steam Island’s Inner Harbor and left them there rather than risk sending them outside.
• Three days later, Yang Yi caught a giant Mimic with the Abyss Claw, had the Man-Beating Man robots kill it, and shared its spoils with the anglers.
• Yang Yi kept one Mimic tooth to test its Hunt effect and turned the rest of the catch into magic stones for distribution.
• Yang Yi summoned Banks to help enhance the Fool’s Short Sword, choosing to make it bigger.

Yang Yi forged the Hero-level Fool's Greatsword and accidentally tested its expansion by punching a hole through Steam Island. He then went to the Shelter to check the hospital preparations before the wounded were transferred from Green Island.

• Yang Yi and Banks forged the Fool's Greatsword, which could expand dramatically and make scratched objects smell delicious.
• Yang Yi tried the weapon's enlargement feature, causing it to stretch more than two thousand meters through Steam Island; robots were the only ones injured, and Yang Yi covered the losses.
• Yang Yi told Steam Island's players that no creature had invaded and that the damage came from testing his weapon.
• Yang Yi reviewed Steam Island's construction and incubation work, noting that new factories were being built and more creations were entering production.
• Yang Yi visited the Shelter's hospital, summoned Director Seerte and Deputy Director Haken, and asked about preparations to transfer the wounded from Green Island in two days.

Yang Yi and Shen Guanquan coordinated to identify Plant People after First Aid Sweetheart exposed an infiltrator among the wounded. Green Island and Steam Island then carried out the Weeding Plan, destroying more than a thousand Plant People and distributing a mild Herbicide that helped remove the threat.

• First Aid Sweetheart detected a Plant Person among the wounded and killed it, prompting Yang Yi to warn Shen Guanquan about the infiltration.
• Shen Guanquan explained that Plant People could be difficult to identify and asked to borrow First Aid Sweetheart for screening; Yang Yi agreed once more Nurse Miss units were available.
• A Plant Person tried to persuade Shen Guanquan to join them, but Forest Spear killed the intruder while Shen Guanquan rejected their cause.
• Green Island and Steam Island launched the Weeding Plan, destroying more than twenty Plant Person groups and cremating over a thousand people.
• Green Island began producing an Exceptional Potion Herbicide, and drinks made with diluted Herbicide became popular across the island.

Ma Dabao returned to Steam Island with the remaining One-Eye Cult Archbishops and reported on the Radiant Holy Church’s occupation of the Sea of Miracles. Yang Yi learned that the Church was pushing into the Sea of No Light and suspected the Radiant Goddess wanted more worshippers to break free from the Gate of Glory.

• Ma Dabao arrived on Steam Island with the One-Eye Cult Archbishops, confirming that no loyal Archbishops remained in the Sea of Miracles.
• Ma Dabao handed Su Na several corpses, heads, and a damaged Radiant Goddess Statue for study in the Witch Laboratory.
• Ma Dabao told Yang Yi that many Players had joined the Radiant Holy Church and were counted as dead by the system, while daylight in the Sea of Miracles now lasted at least twelve hours and reached twenty-four hours farther in.
• Ma Dabao described a battle with a fleet led by three Radiant Archbishops, which he diverted into a three-way fight with the Golden Commerce Guild before escaping.
• Yang Yi concluded that the Radiant Goddess might be seeking more Believers to gain enough power to break free from the Gate of Glory.

Yang Yi inspected the newly opened Commercial Street, then visited Su Na's Laboratory to see the results of her research. He drank a new potion that altered his constitution, but its full effects remained unclear.

• Yang Yi suggested building a mobile fortress to protect the One-Eye Grand Church, and the architects completed a design that included a robot showroom.
• The One-Eye Smithy, Su Na's Potion Shop, and the New World Supermarket Center opened, drawing crowds and prompting Yang Yi to take his crew shopping.
• Su Na summoned Yang Yi to the Laboratory, where he saw that the Vitality Sardine Tree was secured in a cage and the Waste Liquid Slime had been replaced by a dangerous substitute.
• Su Na gave Yang Yi a hero-quality potion made from Wind Fly flesh and blood that could increase resistance to wind and gravity.
• Yang Yi drank the potion and felt his body sink before becoming light, as if he were floating.

Yang Yi received the Unstable Mass ability and learned about three new potions Su Na had developed. Su Na dissected the Blind Believers and concluded they were dependent on their goddess for both life and thought, leaving them likely to die if their connection to her was severed.

• Yang Yi struggled to control his changing body weight after taking the Mass Potion, while Su Na advised him to practice.
• Su Na showed Yang Yi Rusting, Sakura, and Crystallizing Potions, and Yang Yi decided to sell them for five million Conch Coins each.
• Su Na gave Yang Yi four bottles of each potion and revealed that she had dissected the Blind Believers, including a player.
• Su Na explained that most Blind Believers' organs had rotted away because their goddess's blessing sustained them, making them fragile without her.
• Su Na showed Yang Yi the Radiant Archbishop's preserved brain and sensory organs, explaining that the goddess's image was branded into them and that the Blind Believers' minds had been destroyed.

Yang Yi learned to control his changing weight, then discovered the darkness spreading across the sea and Black Shadows converging on Steam Island. After the island escaped the horde, the increased activity and numbers of the shadows were revealed to be a Sea of No Light-wide event.

• Yang Yi learned to increase or decrease his weight by tensing or relaxing and planned to scout Corpse Island as Mars's memories deteriorated.
• A seaquake shook Steam Island for nearly five minutes, and Su Na observed that the sea level seemed to have risen.
• Yang Yi flew high above the island and spotted spreading darkness and enormous Large Black Shadows approaching.
• Yang Yi warned the players, who used Light Containers and upgraded Land Combat Guards to drive back the Black Shadows.
• Su Na advised lowering the light and retreating, and Yang Yi ordered players inside before Steam Island escaped the surrounding horde three hours later.

After the seaquake and the system’s warning that players had to occupy ten Player Islands before the third seaquake, representatives on Steam Island discussed how to respond. They agreed to accelerate their conquests rather than retreat to other seas, and Qin Ming invited players to occupy Mirror Island.

• The seaquake breached Green Island’s ecological containment wall, but the New World Fleet contained the outbreak and treated the infected casualties with Herbicide.
• The system announced that the Sea of No Light had become more dangerous and that players had to occupy ten Player Islands before the third seaquake or face failure.
• Su Na and Zhao Tie argued that the world was changing and the system’s warning should be taken seriously, while Yang Yi agreed that players had to conquer islands faster.
• Rome proposed retreating to safer seas, but Su Na warned that seaquakes could affect those waters too and urged players to focus on occupying islands.
• After the meeting, Qin Ming posted the conditions for occupying Mirror Island and invited all players to join the effort.

Yang Yi and Su Na discussed the risks of Mirror Island and decided to visit when its Portal opened. There, Qin Ming greeted Yang Yi, who began to suspect that the scarred, one-eyed warrior was a mirror duplicate, but Qin Ming insisted he was genuine.

• Yang Yi read the Mirror Island rules and learned that Qin Ming had earned the individual key while no team had reached a hundred consecutive wins.
• Su Na reasoned that challengers might have to defeat mirror copies of themselves, and she and Yang Yi agreed to visit the island.
• Yang Yi continued preparing a post about other islands and planned to explore Burning Island after Corpse Island.
• Three days later, Qin Ming arrived through the Portal at Steam Island's Teleportation Plaza, and his talking shield's Long-Legged Sardine mocked Yang Yi for being bald.
• Qin Ming greeted Yang Yi and said their past fight might have killed him, prompting Su Na to ask whether he was a mirror duplicate.
• Qin Ming removed his Helmet, revealed his scarred face and replacement eye, and insisted that he was the genuine Qin Ming.

Yang Yi and his companions traveled to Mirror Island to investigate the Mirror Tower, while players gathered there to explore and ice-fish. After discovering that the tower’s interior was a vast crystal hall lined with challenge mirrors, Yang Yi led his team into one together.

• Qin Ming arrived on Steam Island, and Su Na questioned whether he was the same Qin Ming they had met before.
• Yang Yi, Su Na, Cui Xiya, Cui Bisi, and Xiaoji traveled to Mirror Island despite Cui Xiya’s misgivings and prepared for the extreme cold.
• Yang Yi saw other players on the island, including Anglers who had come to ice-fish, and led his companions toward the Mirror Tower.
• Yang Yi and Su Na found that the tower’s interior was far larger than its exterior and contained thousands of mirrors that offered challenges.
• Cui Xiya reluctantly brought out the Super Great Blasphemer Mech, and Yang Yi gathered his companions and entered a mirror with Su Na.

Yang Yi and his group waited inside the mirror while the Mirror Tower expelled pairs of nearly identical Players, who fought until Qiqi calmed them. The group was transferred to a wooded island for their first battle, where a long-haired double of Yang Yi attacked him.

• Yang Yi suggested breaking the mirrors, but Su Na warned that they might be trapped inside and told the group to wait.
• A giant shattered mirror in a hidden room displayed Players’ battles, then began showing Yang Yi’s group as other Players were expelled from mirrors in nearly identical pairs.
• Qiqi used her voice to stop the twin Players from fighting, while He Qi arrived and surveyed the chaos.
• Yang Yi’s group waited as progress stalled at 77%, then watched it reach 100% and received a countdown to their first battle.
• The group was transferred to a wooded island, where a long-haired man resembling Yang Yi charged out of the woods and swung a Wrought-Iron Club at him.

Yang Yi, Su Na, Cui Xiya, Cui Bisi, and Xiaoji fought mirror-image opponents, with Xiaoji and Yang Yi’s side scoring the first kills. The battles left the mirror-image forces badly defeated, though Xiaoji’s battlefield remained littered with enemy machines.

• Yang Yi fought a belligerent, club-wielding version of himself while Su Na intercepted an arrow from a hidden archer and Cui Xiya’s mech shrugged off attacks from mirror versions of Cui Xiya and Cui Bisi.
• Xiaoji destroyed a spherical robot with its blue beam, then came under a missile barrage as more enemy robots joined the battle.
• Bald Yang Yi caught Handsome Yang Yi’s iron club with a fiery hand and killed him with a greatsword strike.
• Su Na survived a volley of arrows with her armor beneath her clothes, then killed the mirror-image Su Na when she approached.
• Cui Xiya and Cui Bisi trapped their opponents with chains and fed them into the mech, while Xiaoji stood amid the wreckage of the robots it had destroyed.

Yang Yi and the others returned to the Mirror Tower after defeating their mirror images, and Yang Yi investigated the battlefield’s possible boundary. They learned the rules and rewards for continuing the challenge, while outside, players feared that Mirror People could replace them; Yang Yi’s group chose to press on toward the Mirror Key.

• The five survivors regrouped, collected loot from their mirror images, and entered the Mirror High Tower as the battlefield began to disappear.
• Yang Yi ran across the water to test whether the battlefield had a boundary, fired a bullet into the distance, and returned with only a possible sign of a boundary wall.
• The tower announced the rules for the second round, restored the survivors’ condition, and revealed that Stubborn Iron (Mirror) was worth 1,800 points.
• Yang Yi and Su Na discussed how mirror images might have systems and could replace players, while Su Na wondered whether the trials selected among different possibilities.
• In the real world, players retreated from the tower and grew wary of Mirror People who shared their Player IDs, but Yang Yi’s group decided to continue the challenge and seek a Mirror Key.

Yang Yi and his team easily defeated weaker alternate versions of themselves until the seventieth round brought formidable opponents, including a Paladin Yang Yi and giant Light Fairy versions of Cui Xiya and Cui Bisi. As the battle began, Su Na and the others were trapped by another Su Na’s underwater whirlpool while Yang Yi confronted the Paladin.

• Bald Yang Yi killed Glasses Yang Yi’s team with long-range Flintlock shots, and his team reached 2,200 points after the victory.
• Qin Ming returned to Mirror Island as Ice Nest Worms were exterminated, then noticed cracks spreading across the Mirror Tower.
• Yang Yi’s team advanced through many rounds and encountered a Paladin version of Yang Yi whose slash destroyed an iceberg.
• Giant Light Fairy versions of Cui Xiya and Cui Bisi attacked the team with a Rain of Light Arrows and a massive hammer.
• Yang Yi engaged Paladin Yang Yi while Su Na led the others underwater, where a nun-clad Su Na summoned a whirlpool to trap them.

Black-Armored Yang Yi defeated Paladin Yang Yi after the underwater vortex apparently killed the alternate Su Na, and the group returned to a Mirror Tower that was rapidly breaking down. With the tower’s battle progress surging and attacks worsening its damage, Su Na urged everyone to clear it quickly without suffering casualties.

• Su Na’s underwater vortex compressed Nun Su Na, the white Xiaoji, and the torpedoes into a black dot that burst apart and shattered the ice above.
• Black-Armored Yang Yi drove off Paladin Yang Yi, exposed Cui Xiya and Cui Bisi’s invisibility, and struck them with white spears.
• Paladin Yang Yi, shaken by his Su Na’s apparent death, attacked wildly with Supreme Holy Slash until Black-Armored Yang Yi killed him.
• Su Na reunited with Yang Yi and the others, and they returned to the Mirror Tower hall, where cracks spread across the mirrors and battle progress climbed rapidly.
• Su Na and Yang Yi injured themselves by touching and striking the mirrors, so Su Na warned the group not to damage the malfunctioning tower and called for them to clear it quickly without casualties.

Yang Yi and his battered crew fought increasingly dangerous versions of themselves as the Mirror Tower destabilized around them. After surviving a burning battle, they were sent without warning into a sweet white sea, where Yang Yi recognized a gigantic Meat Lump as his next counterpart.

• Yang Yi entered a battle against Nightmare Yang Yi, who had Phantasmagoric Eyes and had advanced far along the Nightmare Walker path.
• Yang Yi used the Infinite Flintlock to enter his Salt King state and kill Nightmare Yang Yi, while the Mirror Tower was pierced by a white spear and began to overheat and break apart.
• He Qi and Qin Ming evacuated through a Portal to Green Island as the tower shook, melted the glacier, and burned approaching Ice Nest Worms.
• Yang Yi fought a flame-obsessed version of himself, who set the sea and their teammates ablaze before dying during their contest to withstand the flames.
• The injured crew returned to the tower, but the next battlefield began immediately, and Yang Yi recognized the enormous Meat Lump floating in the sweet white sea as another version of himself.

Yang Yi and Su Na defeated the gluttonous Flesh Mountain Yang Yi by healing themselves, consuming his flesh, and turning him into salt. They entered the ninety-fourth battle and faced a grotesque mirror image of Yang Yi fused with grafted bodies.

• Cui Bisi dragged the wounded Cui Xiya out of the white sea after Cui Xiya began drinking it and healing.
• Yang Yi fused with Su Na, used a Proliferative Potion to restore their injuries, and ate Flesh Mountain Yang Yi's tentacles to recover.
• Yang Yi and Su Na fired Salt Spikes at Flesh Mountain Yang Yi, weakening him by purifying the seawater and reducing him to salt.
• The group returned to the Tower of Reality and Illusion and entered the ninety-fourth battle after reaching the next stage.
• Yang Yi and Su Na encountered a mirror image of Yang Yi grafted onto a spiderlike body, with Su Na's face sewn onto his chest.

Yang Yi and his companions survived the Great Limb Spider Yang Yi, but the Mirror Tower began collapsing and its spatial distortions threatened to kill them. The Mirror Tower shattered as the next battlefield was generated, and Yang Yi fell into the sea after being transferred to the Abyss.

• Yang Yi and his allies defeated Great Limb Spider Yang Yi after he failed to summon the Mother of Ten Thousand Limbs.
• The remaining participants returned to the shattered mirror hall, where Yang Yi prepared to attack the tower and shelter everyone inside the Maw of Gluttony.
• The Mirror Tower broke apart both inside and outside, while a twisted arm covered in eyes briefly emerged from the great mirror before it shattered.
• Yang Yi used healing powers, potions, and protective gear to survive the spatial fractures, while Three Eyes helped him detect and avoid some of them.
• The Mirror Tower announced that the Abyss battlefield was ready, then shattered the space around Yang Yi and dropped him into the seawater.

Yang Yi and his crew escaped the collapsing Mirror Tower with their loot, but the system occupied Mirror Island and began emergency maintenance after detecting the Mirror of Infinite Possibilities. Yang Yi discovered that only the five crew members remained on the Ice Field, leaving them stranded, while Qin Ming learned on Green Island that Mirror Island had been occupied.

• Cui Xiya healed the injured crew with Healing of the Flame and offered Cui Bisi her intact scepter after Cui Bisi's broke.
• Su Na found the Mirror of Infinite Possibilities shard among the items Yang Yi had expelled, and blue data symbols began targeting the mirror shards.
• Yang Yi finished unloading the crew's looted items and received a system announcement that Player Island No. 06 had been occupied and the system would undergo 72 hours of emergency maintenance.
• Yang Yi searched the Ice Field, found no Mirror Island, and saw that the Regional Channel had only five players—the exact number in his crew—so he realized they were stranded.
• On Green Island, the Portal went dark after the Mirror Tower collapsed, and Qin Ming was stunned by the news that Mirror Island had been occupied.

Yang Yi and his crew repaired Xiaoji, salvaged supplies, and escaped the Mirror Tower wreckage across the glacier. They reached the sea and used the Golden Commerce Guild's Senior VIP Card to summon the Guild's President, then prepared to rest and contact Steam Island after system maintenance.

• Yang Yi restored Xiaoji with scrap and flesh, though most of Xiaoji's equipment and combat strength were lost.
• Su Na gathered the inactive Mirror of Infinite Possibilities fragments while Yang Yi decided they needed to leave rather than wait for rescue.
• Yang Yi used the Eye of Greed with his crew to salvage valuable equipment and supplies, then set the trash piles ablaze as a distraction.
• An Ice Nest Elder arrived at the burning wreckage, mistook it for the work of the Fire Worship Cult, and left to report it.
• Yang Yi led the crew across the glacier through a blizzard until they reached the sea, where he threw the Senior VIP Card into the water.
• Yang Yi and the crew settled on a moving ice floe to recover and planned to contact Steam Island after system maintenance ended.

Yang Yi and Su Na used the Limb Restoration Spell and Long-Legged Sardines to repair the shattered mirror, turning it into a living relic that could make limited copies. After testing it with the Gleaming Wave Blade, they set Broken Iron before it to see what the mirror would produce.

• Yang Yi cast the Limb Restoration Spell on the broken mirror and Long-Legged Sardines, and Tiny Spiders stitched them together into a living mirror with legs.
• Su Na examined the Mirror of the Long-Legged Sardine, which displayed living creatures as sardines or salted fish and could copy some items.
• After hours of exposure, the mirror produced a Wave-Edged Fish Knife based on the Gleaming Wave Blade.
• Su Na placed Broken Iron before the mirror to test whether a stronger item would yield a higher-quality copy.
• Twenty-four hours later, a tall salted fish slid out of the mirror, and Yang Yi picked it up and bit into it.

After the Mirror of Infinite Possibilities finished formatting, Yang Yi learned that Mirror Island had been destroyed and that an Infinite Trial Tower could now be built. Stranded in the Extreme Winter Sea, he asked Yu Dawei to prioritize building the tower and to scout Corpse Island, while waiting for the President of the Golden Commerce Guild.

• Yang Yi and Su Na concluded that the mirror failed to copy anything that had not emerged within 24 hours, then ate the ordinary Mutated Long-Legged Sardine it produced.
• The system announced that the Infinite Trial Tower had been added, and Yang Yi discovered that Mirror Island was listed as destroyed.
• When the announcement reached all players, Yang Yi replied to messages that he was alive but stranded in the Extreme Winter Sea, and learned the Mirror Tower's collapse had destroyed nearby ships.
• Yang Yi told Yu Dawei to manage Steam Island and the Nightmare Star, keep the Abyss Nautilus aboard the ship, and send a team to scout Corpse Island once construction stabilized.
• Yang Yi urged Yu Dawei to prioritize building the Infinite Trial Tower, and Yu Dawei said Steam Island would build it first using resources from a new Resource Conversion Factory.

Yang Yi accepted the President of the Golden Commerce Guild’s invitation and became a Golden Merchant, receiving a Treasure Ship and trading supplies in exchange for a limited time to fill his contract hourglass. He negotiated for five Legendary Strength Potions, leaving him with 300 years to trade as the Guild President continued to offer him goods.

• Yang Yi discovered that the half-Siren speaking to him was controlled by the President of the Golden Commerce Guild, who had come to retrieve the VIP card he discarded.
• The President invited Yang Yi to join the guild and offered him a Golden Hourglass contract that granted the Golden Merchant identity and its protections.
• Yang Yi accepted the hourglass, received the Golden Merchant blessing, and watched the President raise a Treasure Ship through the ice.
• The President offered three supply packages with different trading time limits, and Yang Yi chose to pursue the large-supplies option rather than preserve the maximum 500 years.
• Yang Yi negotiated for four genuine Legendary Strength Potions, then requested a fifth for Su Na’s research, reducing his trading time limit to 300 years.

Yang Yi traded most of his remaining years for High-level Abyss Soul Stones and received a merchant's Treasure Ship, then tried its business-opportunity skill. The ship pointed back toward the area they had come from, where the chance of a transaction was negligible, leaving Yang Yi unsure whether to turn back or sail on.

• Yang Yi exchanged time for a Legendary Strength Potion and eight High-level Abyss Soul Stones, leaving himself exactly two years.
• Yang Yi inspected the Treasure Ship and found that it could not use Portals or be upgraded, but it could assess business opportunities once a day.
• Yang Yi and his crew moved their supplies into the Treasure Ship, which grew larger, while Cui Bisi, Cui Xiya, and Xiaoji volunteered to organize the merchandise.
• Su Na examined the Supreme Pact Artifact and planned to analyze it with tools, warning Yang Yi not to stray far from her.
• Yang Yi used the ship's business-opportunity skill, which pointed back toward their previous location and reported a negligible chance of a transaction, leaving him undecided about whether to turn back.
