Ye Qiyan found a girl trapped beneath rubble in a world at war and accepted her request to kill those who oppressed her and destroy everything. After he detonated the mecha legion, the girl made her wish, triggering the quest “The hero of the sinners.”

• Ye Qiyan arrived in a war-torn world where soldiers piloted mass-produced mecha and sent his Nanite Swarm to search for the quest.

Ye Qiyan reassured the girl who had summoned him that he would keep his promise to destroy her oppressors, then set out to gather materials and wait for the world to reach Level 12. The girl resolved to spread the Demon King’s name, while Ye Qiyan considered whether he could enter a higher-level Platform World sooner.

• The girl told Ye Qiyan she did not regret summoning him, and he explained that her Train Coin had brought him to a world where people still resisted.

After learning that their new Knight’s Martyrdom module would let them sacrifice themselves to protect him, Ye Qiyan rejected the idea and unknowingly caused a blank Demon Card to form in Wandering Hell.

• The Endless Knight Order emerged from a beam of blue light, pledged eternal loyalty to Ye Qiyan, and completed Ascension.
• Lancelot became a Level 11 commander, while the fifty Endless Mechs rose to Level 9 and gained shared connections, stronger abilities, and Knight’s Martyrdom.

• A blank Demon Card formed from malice in Wandering Hell.

Ye Qiyan obtained his eleventh Demon Card, Greed, and used it to depict his train traveling endlessly through a wasteland. As Greed’s malice stirred the Gatam Empire’s army into slaughter, Ye Qiyan discovered the card could preserve his companions in his memories and negate fatal attacks against them as long as he endured.

• Ye Qiyan summoned his blank eleventh Demon Card and named it Greed, whose powers arose from his bond with his companions.

• Ye Qiyan sat with Lisette and Red Tears and realized Greed could preserve his companions in his memories and negate their fatal attacks as long as he remained alive and remembered them.

• Lisette disabled the escape pod’s warning systems, and Ye Qiyan opened its door with his command.
• A remnant soul emerged from the pod’s mechanical heart and questioned why Ye Qiyan had arrived before Ye Qiyan revealed himself.

Ye Qiyan used Bewitchment to question a GT Mechanical Research Institute remnant soul about the civilization’s war against The End and his Soul Mechanical Technology. The researcher revealed that he had fled the GT World in an Escape Pod, then began to collapse as his recovered memories extinguished the conviction sustaining him.

• Ye Qiyan used Bewitchment to make the researcher recount the GT World’s three-hundred-and-seventy-nine-year war against the Transcender [Evil Species].
• Ye Qiyan used the Overlord’s Authority to keep the Mechanical Heart beating and stabilize the researcher’s remnant soul.

Ye Qiyan met a remnant GT Research Institute researcher who learned that the Hunt Ring and the [Supreme] blueprint had been completed, and discovered a way to use the Mechanical Soul Heart to locate the GT world if it could identify a GT-marked Finality Core. After Ye Qiyan gave the researcher proof that his work had mattered, the researcher handed him a storage unit of GT blueprints and chose to die by joining the souls of his lost civilization.

• Hunt appeared beside Ye Qiyan, and the remnant soul recognized the Hunt Mecha-Dragon and Hunt Ring as completed creations from GT World.
• Ye Qiyan showed the researcher the [Supreme] blueprint and asked about the GT Finality Core, but the researcher knew little about it.

• The researcher gave Ye Qiyan a Photon Storage Unit containing damaged blueprints from the GT-1 garbage-recycling robot through the GT-61 White Kite Transport Aircraft, then joined the blazing mass of souls.

Ye Qiyan recognized GT World's Soul Mechanical Technology, releasing the souls that had fueled it and earning the Endless GT World achievement. He obtained a single-use GT Search Device and began Ascending it in hopes of completing the unfinished technology.

• Ye Qiyan endured the Soul Source's heat and acknowledged the nameless GT researcher and GT World's efforts.
• The system recorded Soul Mechanical Technology, made it available as a possible upgrade for Human Train Conductors, and awarded Ye Qiyan the Transcender Core for completing Endless GT World.
• Ye Qiyan used Redemption and Utopia to awaken and release the GT sacrifices, who thanked him as the Soul Source became a GT Search Device.
• The system converted the technology into the top-tier module GT Series · Soul Mechanics, but warned that its devices could only be used once and could not be remade for an extremely long time.
• Ye Qiyan gathered his powers and began Ascending the device while Lisette, WALL-E, and the others protected him.

The God of Mechanisms sensed that Ye Qiyan was coming for the core beside its true body, so it prepared defenses and sought help from Stavichia. Meanwhile, Ye Qiyan obtained the reusable GT · Seeker, but stopped its costly search before it could devastate the Gatam Empire’s capital and began questioning the origin of Train Coins.

• Ye Qiyan asked the System whether Train Coins came from everything in worlds subjected to The End, and the System refused to answer because he lacked permission.

Ye Qiyan watched Gatam I prepare to use the souls of slaughtered civilians to ascend into a god, while he and Lisette began searching beneath the Imperial Palace for a core more precious than the Mechanical Heart. He left the shattered heart in a space-compressing Picture Frame and honored the nameless hero who had failed to save GT World.

• Gatam I revealed his plan to drain the souls trapped in the Tower of God, reach Level 12, and conquer the Wasteland.
• Ye Qiyan watched Gatam I’s preparations through the Nanite Swarm and decided the ruler’s advancement would be weak, so he could wait while it proceeded.
