Ye Qiyan gave the God of Mechanisms core to Hunt after Lisette declined it, and Hunt gained a set of gears and the ability to shrink. Hunt’s new form let it leave the Armed Space and join Ye Qiyan aboard the train.

• Ye Qiyan offered the core to Lisette, but she wanted to wait for an enhancement tied to his Ascension, so he chose Hunt instead.

• Ye Qiyan reassured Hunt that he could obtain better equipment later, then took the little dragon into the train.

The supreme gods discussed the new Train Conductors and plotted to kill Ye Qiyan when he entered a level 11 Platform World. After returning from a Platform World, Ye Qiyan learned that high-level Train Conductors could use vouchers to interfere with the unprotected newcomers, and he asked Zhuxing Tu what was behind their sudden arrival.

• The supreme gods learned that a new Blasphemy Card holder owned the Demon Card and agreed to wait until Ye Qiyan entered a level 11 Platform World before trying to kill him.

• Ye Qiyan decided to use the voucher and messaged Zhao Lin, who immediately agreed to go.

Ye Qiyan used Ascension on a level-eight Treasure Chest and obtained a Silver Emblem Beast Tamer Mark, which could enhance a contract beast and combine it with a vehicle. He decided to use it on Frostsky White Bear and bind the bear to his Road Hog.

• Zhao Lin told Ye Qiyan she could redistribute her good and bad luck slightly after her maximum Spirit reached 130, and they discussed joining a trial.
• Ye Qiyan had WALL-E bring him his unused level-eight Treasure Chest and used Ascension on it, creating an Ultimate Level 8 Lucky Treasure Chest.
• Ye Qiyan opened the chest and obtained a level-nine Silver Emblem Beast Tamer Mark, recommended for Frostsky White Bear.
• Ye Qiyan learned that the mark could combine a beast with a vehicle, but chose not to use it on his Train because its grade would decrease.
• Ye Qiyan decided to use the mark on Frostsky White Bear and bind the bear to his outdated Road Hog.

Ye Qiyan discovered that Nephthys had hatched as a tiny fire elemental, then used the Silver Emblem Beast Tamer Mark to merge the Frostsky White Bear with Road Hog and enhance them.

• Ye Qiyan touched the train platform and used Ascension to advance the train to level 15.

• Ye Qiyan completed his train’s ascension to level fifteen, raising its speed to 300 km/h and reducing his stamina and spirit.
• The system revealed four standard upgrade options, and Ye Qiyan bought them all for 111 Train Coins.
• Ye Qiyan examined the Platform Downgrade module, which let Train Conductors enter level six or seven Platform Worlds with infinite stopping time, and decided he would not use it to quit advancing.
• Ye Qiyan read that A Letter from the Frost Orc led to a level six treasure chest and considered selling it to Zhao Lin.
• Ye Qiyan found the Alliance Member’s Blessing useful because it monitored an ally’s vital status and could shield them in a crisis; he thought of Zhao Xi and Don Quixote.

• Ye Qiyan arrived at the Dilapidated White Cat Café as the trial initiator and sent WALL-E to search the area.
• Zhao Lin showed Ye Qiyan her new Mage abilities, and he offered her two level 9 items; she wanted to buy the secret art scroll but needed to save more money.

Fengfeng, a former Platform Lord who had lost her past and started over as a human Train Conductor, entered a dangerous level 3 trial platform. There she met Ye Qiyan’s unusual group of newcomers, including Mo Shi, whose unsettling presence hinted at a deeper danger.

• Fengfeng recalled her origins as a wisp of Wasteland wind and how the Train System had given her a second chance after she failed.
• Fengfeng entered a platform identified as the Ruler’s Game Arena, where the system warned her of extreme danger and told her not to resist.
• Ye Qiyan spotted Fengfeng among five newcomers on his surveillance screens and decided to begin the trial despite their unusual nature.

• Fengfeng introduced herself to the smiling black-haired girl, who called herself Mo Shi, said she was from sector A-0, and wished to live until the very last moment.

Zhao Lin and Ye Qiyan launched the first trial, a rock-paper-scissors game with hidden betting rules that encouraged alliances and psychological warfare. Mo Shi chose the one-eyed pirate as her opponent and won the first round, leaving him down 20 chips.

• Zhao Lin began the trial and explained that players could exchange Train Coins and valuable items for chips.

• The one-eyed pirate wagered 20 chips on paper, and Mo Shi won with scissors, raising her total to 40 chips.

Fengfeng proposed an alliance to eliminate the one-eyed pirate, but Mo Shi refused and wagered all forty of her chips on him. The alliance fell apart as the others chased a larger share of the potential winnings, while Zhao Lin and Ye Qiyan watched and wondered what Mo Shi intended.

• The Spirit Youth challenged the one-eyed pirate to another round of Rock-Paper-Scissors while Fengfeng explained the trio’s plan to target the pirate.

After Zhao Lin began the second trial, Mo Shi revealed a Russian Roulette Game Card and greeted Ye Qiyan as an old acquaintance, claiming she was now a separate self who fought on humanity’s side.

• One-Eyed Pirate accepted the result of his game against Spirit Youth, shifting the outside contestants’ chip totals and leaving Spirit Youth without further losses.
• Mo Shi reached 88 chips by the end of the first trial, while Spirit Youth lost all his chips and was locked away; Zhao Lin later revealed that the apparent death penalty was only a recording.
• Ye Qiyan started the second trial, where contestants faced their fears in the Flower Heart Lock Theater, and Mo Shi immediately broke free of its effects.
• Mo Shi showed the surveillance camera a Russian Roulette Game Card that had belonged to Lane, prompting Ye Qiyan to ask Zhao Lin about her luck and then approach the Theater.
• Mo Shi recognized Ye Qiyan, and he questioned her identity after Red Tears threatened her; her answer was obscured, but Ye Qiyan understood that she was Death.
• Mo Shi insisted that she was now a new self named Mo Shi, separate from Death, and said she intended to live until the very end.

Ye Qiyan had Zhao Lin play Mo Shi’s Russian Roulette game, and Zhao Lin won when the final shot failed to fire. Mo Shi used the loss to cast off her Death nature and become a human Train Conductor, then vowed to catch up to Ye Qiyan as the trial resumed.

• At the edge of the Platform World, Ye Qiyan saw the destructive turbulence beyond it and reflected on the End and the possibility of rebirth.
• Ye Qiyan realized the juvenile Dream Eater had put him into a dream, passed its trial, received the title The End? Rebirth?, and raised his Spirit limit from 300 to 340.

• A decayed Guardian Mech rose to defend its race, but Ye Qiyan used Mechanism Command to tell it the race had won.
• The Guardian Mech said its duty was complete and crumbled to ash, leaving behind a Fragment of the Blasphemy Card marked 1/3.

Ye Qiyan accepted the hidden achievement “Dragging the Gods into the Dust” after claiming a fragment that carried the final plea of an extinct civilization.

• WALL-E approached Fengfeng and guided her toward the Café grounds with an Empty Box.
• Fengfeng entered the grounds, saw Raven, the Mechanical Girl, and other powerful beings, then heard Ye Qiyan call out to her.

Fengfeng told Ye Qiyan that nearly half of the latest million Newbie Train Conductors had died within three stops, and suspected they were being pushed to grow through overwhelming pressure. She chose to keep pursuing strength rather than return to Libra immediately, then fell asleep in the café before Ye Qiyan sent her back as the platform trial ended.

• Fengfeng told Ye Qiyan about the newcomers’ cross-block team trials and the unusually powerful Train Conductors she had encountered.

• Fengfeng fell asleep at the café, and Zhao Lin returned with three Treasure Chests after Mo Shi found another one.
• At midnight, Ye Qiyan had Lisette wake Fengfeng and told her it was time to leave.

Ye Qiyan left the Newbie Platform with Zhao Lin, earned a perfect-trial reward, and sold her the level 9 Forbidden Art Secret Scroll. He raised his train to level 16, then discovered the upgrade options had been priced to consume nearly all his Train Coins.

• After the trains left the platform, Ye Qiyan received 500 Train Coins for completing a perfect trial.
• Zhao Lin used her newly earned Train Coins to buy Ye Qiyan’s level 9 Forbidden Art Secret Scroll, and he advised her to save for the level 10 upgrade shop.
• Ye Qiyan displayed his Trial Voucher as a memento, left the station, and began ascending his train.
• Ye Qiyan’s train reached level 16, though he worried it would need more speed to support future Ascensions.
• The Train System offered four upgrade options costing exactly 2,500 Train Coins, leaving Ye Qiyan with 21.

Ye Qiyan examined the latest upgrade options and bought several utility items, including a Heart Core for the Abyssal Mech, Imaginary Number Navigation for the train, and a voidification part for the Arsenal Hangar.

• Chloe told Ye Qiyan about the Land of Strange Laws, its history of wars against Dragon Beast Performers, and how humans came to control and serve Performers.
