• An Xiaoran told Luo Fan she had chosen an Eighth Tier Weird as her target, and he sent her a brief warning to be careful.

Luo Fan traveled to the mountain range where An Xiaoran planned to hunt an eighth-tier Weird, intending to watch without interfering unless her life was at risk. An Xiaoran lured the river-dwelling Weird out with her blood, but another group arrived as the creature surfaced.

• Luo Fan asked An Xiaoran for her location and flew about four hundred kilometers on Black Bird to reach her.

• Luo Fan heard a group approaching the summit, led by a woman carrying a glowing staff, and wondered whether they would disrupt An Xiaoran's mission.

• Luo Fan intercepted the team and warned them not to approach because An Xiaoran had to hunt a Weird alone for her promotion.
• The team saw Luo Fan’s Lv53 level and agreed to stay back from the battlefield.
• An eighth-tier bone dragon emerged from the river, and Luo Fan identified it as an Lv82 Weird.
• An Xiaoran raised a holy Shield and prepared to face the bone dragon as the team watched in disbelief.
• Luo Fan took a position near An Xiaoran without joining the fight, leaving the team to wonder whether she truly intended to fight alone.

An Xiaoran transformed into an angel and fought the eighth-tier Bone Dragon, whose crimson flames badly burned her. When she drew the Weird Gun, its Innate Yang Steel aura terrified the Bone Dragon into fleeing, and An Xiaoran fired a Crystal-Energy Bullet at it.

• An Xiaoran transformed into her angel form and faced the Bone Dragon as Luo Fan watched from the mountainside.
• The Bone Dragon breathed a wide torrent of crimson flames, burning An Xiaoran and shattering her holy light shield.

• An Xiaoran used her Weird Gun and Healing Cross to pin down and kill the Bone Dragon.
• An Xiaoran extracted the Bone Dragon’s eighth-tier Weird Crystal, and her level rose from Lv50 to Lv51 as she completed her fifth-tier promotion.

• An Xiaoran returned to Luo Fan, who praised her and asked what new skill she had awakened.
• An Xiaoran focused on examining her new rule-type skill and began explaining it to Luo Fan.

An Xiaoran completed her fifth-tier promotion and awakened Undying Body, a status skill that granted five minutes of immunity to death, while she and Luo Fan considered whether their symbiotic contract could share its protection. They returned toward Lin City as Mr. Mo Mo finished shrinking Greenedge Base’s Doomsday Phone Exchange Center into a portable device and prepared to report to Luo Fan.

• An Xiaoran explained that Undying Body granted a target immunity to death for 300 seconds, and Luo Fan praised its power.
• An Xiaoran warned that Luo Fan’s Killing Blow could counter Undying Body because it was a control-level rule that suppressed manipulation-level rules.
• An Xiaoran suggested their symbiotic contract might let them share Undying Body’s protection, but Luo Fan agreed that testing the theory was too risky.
• After completing her promotion mission and obtaining an eighth-tier Weird crystal, An Xiaoran flew with Luo Fan toward Lin City on Black Bird.
• Mr. Mo Mo completed a portable Doomsday Phone Exchange Center using void spirit jade, enabling plans for expanded communications such as video calls and livestreaming.
• Mr. Mo Mo secured the device and prepared to message Luo Fan with his progress and ask about the Teleportation Array.

Luo Fan returned to Lin City and learned that Tomeko had come seeking his help to slay a ninth-tier Weird in Heilongjiang. Tomeko offered to share the region’s resources and rule with him if they succeeded, leaving Luo Fan reconsidering his refusal.

• Mr. Mo Mo told Luo Fan that Void Spirit Jade mining was going well and the Doomsday Phone’s Exchange Center had been miniaturized, bringing video calls and livestreaming closer to launch.
• Luo Fan told An Xiaoran about the planned livestreaming, then updated Mr. Mo Mo that the Teleportation Arrays still needed more time.
• The Weird Bride told Luo Fan that she had captured an unusual Weird who had come looking for him.
• Luo Fan found Tomeko waiting in the hall and learned she wanted his help slaying a ninth-tier Weird in Heilongjiang.
• Tomeko offered to become Heilongjiang’s overlord and share the region’s resources, information, and territory equally with Luo Fan, making him reconsider turning her down.

Luo Fan considered whether helping Tomeko become Heilongjiang Province’s overlord could give survivors a safe place to settle and rebuild. After questioning whether Tomeko could defend the position, he heard her explain how her Godhead Fragment and their allies could help her hold it.

• Luo Fan weighed the possibility that Tomeko’s rule could create a stable base where survivors could live, work, and raise families.
• Luo Fan used his Monitoring Glasses to check Tomeko’s level and found that she had reached Lv66.
• Luo Fan questioned whether Tomeko could hold Heilongjiang Province against the seventh- and eighth-tier Weirds after defeating its ninth-tier overlord.
• Tomeko said her Godhead Fragment of the God of the Void let her weaken abilities she had witnessed.
• Tomeko argued that her authority, Luo Fan’s Innate Yang Steel Weapon, and An Xiaoran’s Angel Form could help them keep the overlord position.

Luo Fan told Tomeko she needed to reach the eighth tier before she could securely rule Heilongjiang Province, and she left determined to grow stronger. The Weird Bride then offered to help Luo Fan take control of the province, revealing that her Lv76 rule-sanction strength could make her a formidable ally.

• Luo Fan argued that Tomeko's Lv66 sixth-tier strength could not command the province's seventh- and eighth-tier Weird, even with her Godhead Authority.
• Tomeko asked what it would take to earn Luo Fan's confidence, and he said she needed to reach the eighth tier to secure her rule.
• Tomeko accepted Luo Fan's condition, promised to reach the eighth tier, and departed through the ruins of Lin City.
• The Weird Bride asked whether Luo Fan wanted control of Heilongjiang Province, and he confirmed he did.
• The Weird Bride offered to help Luo Fan, and he saw through his Monitoring Glasses that she was Lv76 and at the rule sanction tier.

Luo Fan considered taking control of Heilongjiang Province but decided that defeating its ninth-tier overlord Weird required more preparation. When Mo Yuling reported that materials for three Teleportation Arrays were ready, Luo Fan returned to the Weird Domain and began deciding where to build them.

• Luo Fan realized the Weird Bride's rule sanction tier could command respect from powerful Weirds, unlike Tomeko's Godhead Fragment.
• Luo Fan and the Weird Bride agreed that fighting Heilongjiang Province's overlord was too dangerous for now and should wait until they had made further preparations.
• Mo Yuling messaged Luo Fan that the materials and preliminary work for three Teleportation Arrays were ready.
• Luo Fan explained the news to the Weird Bride, then left Lin City with An Xiaoran and returned to the Weird Domain.
• Luo Fan told the Hope Convoy that the Teleportation Arrays could be built, and he asked Niu Dagang and the others for ideas about where to place them.

The Hope Convoy’s core members agreed to build Teleportation Arrays in Lin City and at the Void Spirit Jade Vein, but could not settle on the third location. Luo Fan chose Heilongjiang Province as preparation for a future battle and migration effort, surprising the others, who asked him to explain.

• Mo Yuling told the core members that she had prepared the materials and preliminary work needed to build three Teleportation Arrays.
• Zhao Chunfeng proposed Lin City for the first array, and the group agreed.
• Ai Si proposed placing the second array by the Void Spirit Jade Vein, and the group approved.
• After the group debated several options for the third array, Niu Dagang urged everyone to trust Luo Fan’s judgment.
• Luo Fan chose Heilongjiang Province, thinking it would help gather fighters for a future battle and support survivor migration.
• Zhao Chunfeng asked Luo Fan why he had chosen such a remote location.

Luo Fan explained why the Hope Convoy should build its third Teleportation Array in Heilongjiang Province: he wanted to create a human settlement protected by a powerful Weird. He revealed that he had a preliminary candidate to replace Heilongjiang’s Ninth Tier overlord, but kept the candidate’s identity secret.

• Luo Fan warned the Hope Convoy that ordinary survivors were disappearing and argued that humanity needed a stable place to live and reproduce.
• Han Shanzhong objected that a large human settlement would attract a dangerous Weird Tide, while Zhao Chunfeng urged everyone to hear Luo Fan out.
• Luo Fan compared humans to a school of fish and suggested that a powerful Weird could claim territory and keep other Weirds away.
• Luo Fan revealed that Heilongjiang Province was ruled by a Ninth Tier Weird and proposed killing it, then supporting a cooperative new overlord to protect a human settlement.
• Zhao Chunfeng called the plan bold but not entirely unreasonable, and Luo Fan said he already had a preliminary candidate without naming them.

Luo Fan proposed turning a Ninth Tier Weird into a cooperative ruler of Heilongjiang Province and named the Weird Bride as the ideal replacement. The group finalized sites for three Teleportation Arrays and prepared to expand into Heilongjiang.

• Zhao Chunfeng, Niu Dagang, Lin Feifei, and Ximen Chuixue praised Luo Fan's idea of having a Weird lease territory to protect human survivors.
• Luo Fan proposed that the Weird Bride publicly replace the Ninth Tier Weird as Heilongjiang Province's overlord.
• Luo Fan and the Hope Convoy chose Lin City, the Void Spirit Jade Vein, and Heilongjiang Province as the sites for three Teleportation Arrays.
• Mo Yuling prepared to begin building the first Teleportation Array on the outskirts of Lin City the next day.
• Luo Fan decided to travel to Heilongjiang Province to survey a secluded site for its Teleportation Array.

Mo Yuling began building a Teleportation Array outside Lin City, and news of it sparked excitement across the Sequence User Forum. As Luo Fan flew toward Heilongjiang, he discussed plans for three arrays with Master Wen Hao while concealing his intent to confront the province’s overlord-level Weird; an unseen watcher tracked his flight.

• Mo Yuling drew a Teleportation Array outside Lin City with help from Niu Dagang and Ai Si, while local survivors gathered to watch.
• Niu Dagang explained that the array could teleport people hundreds or thousands of kilometers, and survivors posted photos that set the Sequence User Forum buzzing.
• Luo Fan read the forum posts while flying toward Heilongjiang Province on Black Bird and messaged Master Wen Hao about the arrays.
• Luo Fan told Master Wen Hao that the three arrays would be built in Lin City, at the Ore Vein, and in Heilongjiang, while hiding his plan to hunt the province’s overlord-level Weird.
• Master Wen Hao offered to send two promising support-type Sequence Users to Lin City to train as apprentice array builders, and Luo Fan agreed.
• A pair of eerie green eyes watched Luo Fan flying toward Heilongjiang on a screen of light inside a dark cave.

The Black-Robed Weird decided not to confront Luo Fan directly and instead traveled to Heilongjiang Province to reveal his whereabouts to its ninth-tier overlord. It warned the overlord about Luo Fan’s strength and equipment, leaving the overlord to consider the danger of pursuing him.

• The Black-Robed Weird recalled Luo Fan’s past victories and abandoned the idea of attacking him itself.
• After spotting Luo Fan flying alone toward Heilongjiang Province, the Black-Robed Weird decided to inform the province’s ninth-tier overlord.
• The Black-Robed Weird reached the overlord’s ruins and reported that Luo Fan was in its territory.
• When the overlord asked why it would not kill Luo Fan itself, the Black-Robed Weird explained that four eighth-tier allies had died fighting him.
• The Black-Robed Weird warned that Luo Fan might have a top-tier Weird backing him, carried the Immortal Treasure Weird Ball, and possessed weapons made from Innate Yang Steel.

The Black-Robed Weird warned the Ninth-Tier overlord that Luo Fan carried Innate Yang Steel, making the overlord wary of confronting him. Meanwhile, Luo Fan reached Heilongjiang’s coast to scout a site for a Teleportation Array, then spotted a ship setting out to sea.

• The Black-Robed Weird reminded the Ninth-Tier overlord that Innate Yang Steel could threaten even a Ninth-Tier Weird, then left the ruins.
• The overlord stayed behind, unsettled by the weapon and the pressure to respond to Luo Fan’s presence in its territory.
• Black Bird carried Luo Fan through the night from Lin City to Heilongjiang’s eastern coast, tiring from the long flight.
• Luo Fan chose a seaside residential complex as a place to rest while considering where to build the Teleportation Array.
• Luo Fan looked out from the apartment and saw a ship leaving the harbor.

Luo Fan spotted a cruise ship returning to harbor and met a group of survivors who had spent over a year living and fishing at sea. After hearing how they avoided danger on the water, he considered that their knowledge could be useful when he eventually took control of the region.

• Luo Fan watched a cruise ship leave harbor, then slept while Black Bird kept watch and he waited for news about the teleportation arrays.
• Luo Fan woke, cooked hot pot on the balcony, and went to the harbor after Black Bird warned him that the cruise ship had returned.
• Luo Fan approached the survivors unloading marine fierce beasts, and the sequence users recognized him as a Lv54 fifth-tier user known from the Hong City Battlefield.
• The group's leader explained that they had lived aboard the ship for over a year, avoiding land-based Weird and hunting lone marine fierce beasts near shore.
• Luo Fan listened to the group's account and realized their knowledge of the waters might help him when he took control of Heilongjiang Province.

Luo Fan learned how the coastal survivors used ships and shore stops to avoid land and sea threats, then asked them to suggest safe sites for a Teleportation Array in Heilongjiang Province. They recommended a nearby island and a sheer cliff, and the group hesitated before revealing that they knew of a third possible location.

• The dark-skinned man explained that his group alternated between sailing and resting ashore to escape land Weird and sea threats.
• Luo Fan said he had come to survey Heilongjiang Province for a Teleportation Array, exciting the Sequence Users with the prospect of easier travel and escape.
• The dark-skinned man suggested a small island three and a half to four kilometers offshore as a defensible site surrounded by water.
• Another Sequence User recommended a sheer cliff near the harbor, whose height and open view could deter ground threats and reveal danger early.
• When Luo Fan asked for more locations, the dark-skinned man admitted there was a third but hesitated to name it.

A dark-skinned Sequence User told Luo Fan about a secluded resort where several fifth-tier Weirds had stopped pursuing his group, and Luo Fan suspected it might contain Innate Yang Steel. After learning its location, Luo Fan flew there on the black bird, leaving the harbor survivors with a generous gift of fresh produce.

• The dark-skinned man recounted how fifth-tier Weirds drove his group inland and stopped outside a resort, where the survivors spent a peaceful night.
• Luo Fan suspected that Innate Yang Steel might explain why the Weirds avoided the resort and asked the man for its location.
• The dark-skinned man showed Luo Fan a hand-drawn map marking the resort about three hundred kilometers northwest of the harbor.
• Luo Fan thanked the survivors by giving them several hundred jin of fresh fruit and vegetables.
• Luo Fan flew northwest on the black bird while the survivors gratefully tasted the produce.

Luo Fan discovered that a powerful Weird, not Innate Yang Steel, had driven other Weirds away from the Resort, and tracked its familiar aura to a hidden cellar. There he found the Puppet Weird, who tried to intimidate him, and Luo Fan asked what it had been doing in hiding.

• Luo Fan used Mimicry to take the Nightmare Nekomata's form and confirmed that the Resort held no Innate Yang Steel.
• Luo Fan sensed a powerful, familiar Weird's aura across the Resort and used the Far-Sensing Wave Hat to locate it in a concealed cellar.
• Luo Fan descended into the cellar and confronted the Puppet Weird, an old enemy he had last encountered on the Yi City Battlefield.
• Luo Fan assessed the Puppet Weird as a level 60 Weird and remained unperturbed when it warned him that it was a control-level rule-type Weird.
• Luo Fan asked the Puppet Weird what it had been doing in hiding.

Luo Fan confronted the Puppet Weird over its past coercion and reminded it of the Weird Bride, restoring memories that an Unnameable Being had erased. After the Puppet Weird realized the Weird Bride had reached rule sanction, Luo Fan drew the Weird Gun and suppressed it with Innate Yang Steel.

• Luo Fan told the Puppet Weird that his grudge came from how it had taken his male sexual function and used it to force him to act against the Weird Bride.
• Luo Fan reminded the Puppet Weird about the Yi City Battlefield, the Innate Yin Jade, the Weird Bride, and the Demon-Sealing Bean, restoring the memories erased from it.
• The Puppet Weird realized that the Weird Bride had become an Unnameable Being and panicked because she could sense people mentioning her.
• The Puppet Weird assumed Luo Fan remembered the Weird Bride because he was her personal servant, while Luo Fan kept the truth about the God of Deception's Godhead Fragment to himself.
• Luo Fan summoned the Weird Gun, and its Innate Yang Steel suppressed the Puppet Weird's strength, Weird Qi, and thoughts.
