• A scaled Rule-Type Weird realized that knocking other climbers down reduced the pressure on the steps, and the climbers began fighting to reach the temple.
• Luo Fan found An Xiaoran and the Qipao Weird standing before statues, apparently undergoing inheritance trials, while Nightmare Nekomata and Black Bird could not sense an inheritance.

• Luo Fan went to An Xiaoran and asked what godhead authority she had obtained.

An Xiaoran awakened the Godhead Authority of love, while the Qipao Weird failed two inheritance trials and learned that a third failure would trap her in the Void Temple.

Luo Fan learned that Tomeko’s soul inhabited the Mantis Weird and stopped her from blaming the Qipao Weird for her death. After Luo Fan and An Xiaoran left the Void Temple, they returned to Fallen Sea Island with the Qipao Weird, and Luo Fan silently told the Years Weird that he had finished the assessment.

• Tomeko explained that her rule-type skill let her soul inhabit the Mantis Weird after she died on Fallen Sea Island, and she revealed her resentment toward the Qipao Weird for saving An Xiaoran instead of her.
• Luo Fan told Tomeko that the Qipao Weird had not caused her death, then knocked out the Mantis Weird and had An Xiaoran pin it down with a Healing Cross.

After An Xiaoran broke through to Lv44, Luo Fan hosted a hot-pot dinner and raised an undisclosed matter for discussion.

Luo Fan told the Hope Convoy about Innate Yang Steel and led them to agree to travel to the Western Regions to obtain it. While absorbing an Eighth Tier Weird Crystal, he learned that Monitoring Glasses had entered public sale and broke through to Lv45, but explosions at the camp signaled a possible enemy attack.

• Luo Fan explained that Innate Yang Steel could suppress Weird and planned to retrieve it from a mountain in the Western Regions, where survivors had settled.
• Niu Dagang, Lin Feifei, Ai Si, Ximen Chuixue, Han Shanzhong, Zhao Chunfeng, Mo Yuling, and the others agreed to accompany Luo Fan.

After telling the convoy that Mimicry no longer had usage limits, he continued absorbing the rule-type weird crystal and considered seeking powerful Weirds whose belief could fund further upgrades.

• The Weird revealed that Noble Young Master had been its subordinate and walked toward Luo Fan as he faced it alone behind the barrier.

• Luo Fan claimed that the Immortal Treasure Weird Ball came from a top-tier Weird and transformed into the Weird Bride and then the Years Weird to convince his opponent.

• Luo Fan decided to seek out more High-Tier Weirds and use Mimicry to convince them that top-tier Weirds supported him.

• Luo Fan invited Zhang Jie and his people to join the convoy for breakfast, where Zhang Jie asked whether the person Master Bukong had sacrificed himself to resurrect had died.
• Ai Si revealed himself as alive, and explained that an Uncanny Artifact's side effects had changed his appearance; Zhang Jie remained doubtful that Ai Si was a man.
