Ye Qiyan used a Blessed Plant Elixir to transform his Whiteforest tree into a level 4 Blessed Whiteforest Fruit Tree, then chose Miling Town over a Deep Bat Cave for the fifth stop. At the snowy station, a girl named Tina greeted him as the prosecutor everyone had been waiting for to save them.

• Ye Qiyan ascended the Plant Nutrient Solution twice and poured the resulting Blessed Plant Elixir onto his Whiteforest tree.

• The train arrived at a snowy railway station, where Ye Qiyan activated WALL-E and prepared to explore.
• Tina approached Ye Qiyan, called him Mr. Prosecutor, and said everyone had been waiting for him to save them.

Ye Qiyan followed Tina into the eerie town and discovered that the blonde nun had mistaken him for a prosecutor while waiting for a train conductor carrying a Blasphemy Card.

Ye Qiyan was captured by Shaya, a powerful nun who had been sealed at the erased station for twenty years, and she gave him a dangerous Blasphemy Card. Shaya warned him to conceal both the card and his talent, leaving him trapped at the station with secrets that could put his life at risk.

• Shaya stopped Ye Qiyan from escaping and took him back to the church, where she introduced herself and gave him the Blasphemy Card.
• Shaya questioned Ye Qiyan about his talent, but he avoided revealing it and asked her who she was and what she wanted.
• Shaya explained that she had arrived in the Wasteland twenty years earlier and had been sealed at the station after it was erased from the route.
• Shaya inferred that Ye Qiyan's talent had let his low-level train reach the station, then warned him that survivors would envy anyone with a talent.
• Shaya told Ye Qiyan to keep the Blasphemy Card secret because its discovery could get him killed or sealed like her.

• Shaya told Ye Qiyan that platforms and most items capped at level twelve fifteen years ago, urged him to keep his Blasphemy Card, and offered him carriages from the town.

• Shaya set off from Miling Town aboard her level 57 train, the Dark Night Angel, as the town returned to silence.
• Ye Qiyan inspected Shaya's gift, discovered it was a level 9 safe, and pressed his thumb against it to bind it.

Ye Qiyan burned Miling Town, departed early, and tried to use Ascension on a level 4 treasure chest, discovering that items above level 4 resisted the talent. He then attempted to ascend Ascension itself, collapsed, and woke as the train arrived at a dangerous level 4 Slaughter Platform after the system displayed multiple errors.

• The Guard Tower revealed and killed a hidden monster, then continuously shot the monsters charging toward the train.
• Ye Qiyan concluded that the Slaughter Platform subjected him to monster attacks and that the interference had been intended to trap him there until he died.

• Buyers snapped up Ye Qiyan's listed materials, earning him 10 Train Coins.

Ye Qiyan traded for a Wooden Bow Blueprint, used Ascension to turn it into a powerful Flower Dawn Enchanting Wooden Bow, and exchanged bullets with Shangguan Yingxue for gunpowder.
