Chapter Summaries

Yang Yi defeated the Bewilderment King and the Fat King, helping the players conquer Salt Island, but the Feast Master seized him just as he realized it had been watching. The players celebrated their victory before a third Seaquake hurled the Shelter into the sky.

• Yang Yi used his copies and Broken Iron to overpower the Bewilderment King and the Fat King, who both disappeared after nearly two hours of fighting.

• The Salt Soldiers dissolved, and the players celebrated their victory while Su Na assessed their losses and credited Yang Yi with turning the battle around.
• A third Seaquake struck beneath the Shelter and sent it flying into the sky.

As the world collapsed into black blocks, Su Na and the players struggled to keep the Shelter safe while waiting for Yang Yi. After five days, Yang Yi finally broke away from the Feast Master’s feeding and headed down to rejoin them.

• At Miskatonic University, Old Man Sun fought three Fake Gods with a broken blade and wondered whether Yang Yi and Su Na had succeeded.
• Su Na ordered Seerte to conserve truth fragments and protect the Shelter as black blocks consumed the sea and sky.

• For five days, the players waited as the system continued formatting the remaining player islands and the Shelter’s safe areas dwindled.
• The Feast Master fed Yang Yi until he grew enormous, but Yang Yi regained control, said goodbye, and pushed away to descend.

Yang Yi transformed into a colossal mass of flesh, but used the Salt King Throne to activate the One-Eye System and restore the players’ powers, equipment, and sanity. He survived the transformation and appeared seated on the throne, where Su Na reunited with him.

Yang Yi led the transformed King's Ship away from the Sea of Abundance, while the Salt Authority’s influence warped his judgment and Su Na tried to correct him. At the Holy Capital, Lada prepared to format the Radiant Goddess, but her final glance into the darkness suggested the plan might not proceed smoothly.

• Yang Yi transformed the Shelter into a vast King's Ship, gathered the players around his Throne, and ordered them to set out against the traitors.
• The players noticed the ship was heading away from the Holy Capital, but the Salt Authority convinced them that Yang Yi’s course was wise; Su Na told him he had chosen the wrong direction.
• Yang Yi pretended his shoes were dusty, and Cui Xiya spent hours polishing them as the ship crossed out of the Sea of Abundance and into a storm where a huge shadow approached.
• At the Holy Capital, the Radiant Goddess used the power from the Gate of Glory to melt black blocks and hold back the Abyss while Lada finished formatting Dream Island.
• Lada prepared to format the Radiant Goddess and summon more believers, then hesitated as she looked into the darkness before entering the Gate of Glory.

Lada watched the Wind Fly arrive in the Sea of Miracles, carrying Yang Yi’s ship toward the Gate of Glory. As the gate sealed itself and Su Na urged Yang Yi to hurry, he advanced to break through it.

• Lada saw the colossal, chain-bound Wind Fly sweep ships, Blind Believers, and debris into the sky as it entered the Sea of Miracles.
• The Gate of Glory closed, drawing in the nearby Blind Believers and the Holy Light-suppressed Dream Island and Sweet Island.

• After three hours of attacks, Yang Yi struck the gate’s foundation, causing the Gate of Glory and the Holy Capital’s surrounding walls to collapse into particles of light.

Yang Yi led the players into the Holy Capital’s final battle, where the Radiant Goddess’s light empowered the Blind Believers and harmed the invaders. With the Salt Fairies’ spell driving back the Holy Light, the players advanced while Reinhardt defeated the Rose Knight, leaving the battle moving in their favor.

• Yang Yi’s players and the Blind Believers clashed inside the Holy Capital as the Radiant Goddess’s light scorched the players and strengthened her followers.

As the Radiant Goddess drained her believers to match Yang Yi’s growing strength, Lada transformed and an old mechanical man appeared from streams of data, startling Yang Yi and the players.

• Su Na explained that the Holy Capital was once the Kambal Duchy's Experiment Center and that its streets, waterways, sewers, and churches formed a colossal Magic Array.

Yang Yi killed Flower Girl while Mars and Qin Ming held back the Stitched Monster Person, then recognized that the system’s avatars had differing attitudes and were preparing for either victory or humanity’s survival. As Wang Yuan’s suona music strengthened the players and tormented the Blind Believers, the Radiant Goddess’s gathering attack began to falter.

Yang Yi and the players defeated the remaining system avatars and reclaimed the powers of all eight islands, but the Radiant Goddess broke free and began ascending through a breach in the sky.
