Meanwhile, Luo Fan and the Weird Bride decided to make Lin City a human settlement protected from Weird, and Master Wen Hao messaged Luo Fan to ask about the bride.

• The Bagua Board identified the Weird Bride as the Weird who killed General Meng and revealed that General Meng had opened the passage himself.

• Master Wen Hao’s message arrived while Luo Fan and the Weird Bride were talking.

Luo Fan spent a third-tier weird crystal to have Zhao Chunfeng divine the location of a fifth-tier weird crystal, then rode south and found a fifth-tier One-Eyed Giant. He recognized Dongfang Yu among the Sequence Users struggling against it and stepped in to help, lining up a boosted shot as the fight continued.

• Luo Fan aimed his +8 Weird Gun at the giant’s eye and activated Decapitation before firing Triple Shot.

Luo Fan killed the fifth-tier One-Eyed Giant, gave Dongfang Yu and his companions fourth-tier weird crystals, and claimed the fifth-tier crystal he needed.

• Dongfang Yu’s Sequence Level rose from LV30 to LV31 after the Weird was slain, and he explained that it had been part of his Promotion Mission.

• Luo Fan extracted the One-Eyed Giant’s crystal and returned to Lin City.
• Luo Fan placed the fifth-tier weird crystal before the Golden Weird Mirror and asked how to block the Diviner Sequence’s Heavenly Divination skill from revealing the truth about him.

Luo Fan traveled to Mount Dapan with the Money Rat to find the Forbidden Fruit of Fate, which the Golden Weird Mirror said could block divination. While searching the mountain, he noticed a carefully cultivated vegetable garden in a hollow and wondered who had planted it there.

• The Golden Weird Mirror explained that it had located the Forbidden Fruit of Fate by detecting an unscannable area on Mount Dapan.
• Luo Fan told the Weird Bride he would travel to Mount Dapan, then flew there with the Money Rat after resting in Lin City.
• Jiang Shengnan asked Luo Fan to help with her promotion mission to hunt a powerful Weird, and he agreed to join her after finishing his current business.
• Luo Fan and the Money Rat searched Mount Dapan, and Luo Fan killed several Weird and Fierce Beasts with his Weird Gun.
• Luo Fan spotted twenty or thirty orderly vegetable plots in a mountain hollow and wondered who was growing vegetables there.

Luo Fan discovered a secluded vegetable garden and met Mo Yuling, an unusually high-level Sequence User with the Space-Time Apostle Sequence. After wondering if she had traveled from the future, he accepted her invitation to sit inside and produced a can of cola when she asked for one.

• Luo Fan cautiously approached a large vegetable patch and wooden house in a mountain hollow.
• Mo Yuling emerged from the house, and Luo Fan's Monitoring Glasses showed that her Sequence Level was LV48.
• Luo Fan and Mo Yuling introduced themselves and exchanged their Sequence names: she was a Space-Time Apostle, and he was a Hunter.
• Luo Fan asked whether Mo Yuling had traveled from the future, and she laughed at his guess before inviting him inside.
• Mo Yuling asked for cola, and Luo Fan summoned a can from the system Mall.

Luo Fan visited Mo Yuling at her secluded cabin, where she revealed the godlike skill Space-Time Scission that let her store and release everything within a patch of space, including sunlight. He realized how she had survived alone and wondered whether Mimicry would let him use the skill, then asked what level she had been when it awakened.

• Mo Yuling brought a wooden table and chairs outside, and she and Luo Fan shared cola and tea.
• Luo Fan asked how Mo Yuling had settled alone despite the attacks of Weird and Fierce Beasts, and she said she killed them all.
• Mo Yuling demonstrated Space-Time Scission by cutting a rectangular patch out of the air and explained that she could store and later release everything within it.
• Mo Yuling revealed that the stored patch included sunlight, which Luo Fan realized could be used to destroy Weird that feared the sun.
• Luo Fan considered copying Mo Yuling's skill through Mimicry and asked what Sequence Level she had been when she awakened it.

Mo Yuling explained how her rule-type Space-Time Scission skill had helped her reach LV48 and why three failed convoy experiences led her to live alone. Luo Fan invited her to join his convoy, then revealed his Mimicry skill by transforming into her, leaving Mo Yuling stunned.

• Mo Yuling told Luo Fan she had absorbed a rule-type weird crystal at LV10 and awakened Space-Time Scission at LV11, allowing her to reach LV48.
• Mo Yuling explained that she left her first convoy because it treated people like slaves, her second collapsed into infighting over a weird crystal, and her third was wiped out by fierce beasts.
• Luo Fan understood why Mo Yuling preferred living alone and invited her to join his convoy.
• Mo Yuling hesitated to accept, fearing her powerful skill would tempt Luo Fan and his companions into dangerous risks.
• Luo Fan offered to show Mo Yuling his skills, then used Mimicry to transform into her and copied her gesture of cutting through the air.

Luo Fan demonstrated that his Mimicry skill let him copy Mo Yuling’s appearance and use her Space-Time Scission, then described the Hope Convoy and its plentiful vegetables. Mo Yuling agreed to visit the convoy, though Luo Fan’s extraordinary abilities left her wondering if he was the protagonist of their world.

• Luo Fan transformed into Mo Yuling and used her Space-Time Scission to cut out a section of space-time and expose the cabin to sunlight.
• Luo Fan explained that his Mimicry skill let him copy the appearance and abilities of anyone he had seen, and Mo Yuling marveled at its power.
• Mo Yuling asked about the Hope Convoy, and Luo Fan described its atmosphere and its Sequence Users.
• Mo Yuling agreed to visit the Hope Convoy but lamented leaving her vegetable plot behind.
• Luo Fan said he could obtain a ton or two of vegetables daily, prompting Mo Yuling to ask if he was the world’s protagonist or equivalent.

Luo Fan and Mo Yuling searched Mount Dapan for the Fate Forbidden Fruit, but the Fate Shackles disrupted the Money Rat’s senses and Luo Fan’s mental scan. The Money Rat eventually led him into a cave, where an elegant Weird welcomed him.

• Luo Fan told Mo Yuling why he had come to Mount Dapan and explained that he could sense and appraise treasures despite not knowing what the Fate Forbidden Fruit looked like.
• Mo Yuling packed up while Luo Fan and the Money Rat searched Mount Dapan.
• After night fell, Luo Fan used a bow to kill the Weirds that approached him, while none went near Mo Yuling.
• The Money Rat sensed a treasure and led Luo Fan to a cave, where the Fate Shackles slowed his mental scan and interfered with the rat’s ability.
• Luo Fan reached the back of the cave, where a graceful Weird in a white robe welcomed him as an honored guest.

Luo Fan killed the White-Robed Weird by exploiting her Vision Sealing Power to launch a surprise attack, securing a Rule-Type Weird Crystal. He then found what he believed was the Fate Forbidden Fruit and began appraising it.

• The White-Robed Weird sealed Luo Fan’s strength and challenged him to a three-round riddle game, wagering a treasure against his soul.
• Luo Fan pretended to struggle, then attacked the White-Robed Weird with the Pear Blossom Needle Storm and his enhanced Weird Gun.
• Luo Fan detonated the stacked enchantment marks and killed the White-Robed Weird, leaving behind a Rule-Type Weird Crystal.
• The Money Rat led Luo Fan to a hidden plant bearing a translucent fruit that he identified as the Fate Forbidden Fruit.
• Luo Fan opened the Treasure Appraisal function to verify the fruit.

Luo Fan appraised and ate the Fate Forbidden Fruit, then prepared to leave Mount Dapan with Mo Yuling. The Qipao Weird found them, but Mo Yuling mistook her for a hostile threat and struck her with stored sunlight.

• Luo Fan spent 150,000 check-in funds to appraise the Fate Forbidden Fruit and learned that it concealed him from fate-based detection for 180 days.
• Luo Fan ate the fruit, then left the cave with the Money Rat and met Mo Yuling, who had packed her belongings for the trip back to Lin City.
• Luo Fan and Mo Yuling headed toward Lin City, and Luo Fan took out his helicopter to continue their journey.
• The Qipao Weird arrived and greeted Luo Fan, but Mo Yuling sensed a dangerous weird and attacked before he could explain.
• Mo Yuling released stored midday sunlight over the Qipao Weird, whose qipao and body began to burn and melt.

Luo Fan stopped Mo Yuling from killing the Qipao Weird, explaining that he could trade and coexist with some Weirds and that Sister Hong was useful to him. After Sister Hong recovered and discussed the Innate Yin Jade, she agreed to help Luo Fan target the weakened Weird Shadow from the Yi City Battlefield.

• Mo Yuling attacked the Qipao Weird with concentrated sunlight, but Luo Fan rushed in and pulled her to safety.
• Luo Fan told Mo Yuling that the Qipao Weird was useful to him and that some powerful Weirds could coexist or trade with humans.
• Sister Hong used Time Reversal to heal herself, then asked Luo Fan for help obtaining the Innate Yin Jade.
• Luo Fan asked Sister Hong about the Weird Shadow and explained that its resurrection had lowered its rank, Rose could aid them from within, and he knew its abilities better.
• Sister Hong agreed to help Luo Fan deal with the Weird Shadow, while Mo Yuling wondered at his ability to make even Rule-Type Weirds useful.

Luo Fan brought Mo Yuling to the Hope Convoy’s Weird Domain and welcomed her as a new companion, while she discovered the safe home and close-knit team he had built. That night, the Nightmare Nekomata’s cocoon began trembling and radiating a growing aura, suggesting its evolution was nearly complete.

• Luo Fan showed Mo Yuling the Weird Domain, its homes, training area, and ordinary survivors living safely there.
• At dinner, Luo Fan introduced Mo Yuling as a Lv48 Space-Time Apostle whose Space-Time Scission could store and release sunlight, astonishing the convoy’s members.
• Mo Yuling shared a meal with the Hope Convoy, saw their mutual trust and warmth, and felt glad she had joined them.
• After dinner, Luo Fan absorbed the Rule-Type Weird Crystal in the RV as he anticipated reaching Lv41.
• The Nightmare Nekomata’s cocoon trembled and its dark-purple patterns pulsed, prompting Luo Fan to suspect its Fourth Tier evolution was nearly finished.

Luo Fan’s Nightmare Nekomata advanced to the fourth tier, allowing him to fly at supersonic speed through the Weird Domain. Elsewhere, Rose tricked a Fallen Angel Weird into remaining on a bus until sunlight destroyed it, then took its Rule-Type Weird Crystal and messaged An Xiaoran.

• Nightmare Nekomata emerged from its cocoon with black wings and demonstrated its new ability to fly.
• Luo Fan transformed with Nightmare Nekomata, grew a broad pair of wings, and broke the sound barrier before returning to the RV.
• A Fallen Angel Weird and Rose killed five Sequence Users in a remote mountain hollow, and Rose claimed their convoy might contain an Evil Blood Fruit.
• Rose kept the Fallen Angel Weird searching the bus until daylight, then used a grenade to destroy the bus and expose it to the sun.
• Rose collected the Fallen Angel Weird’s Rule-Type Weird Crystal after dark, gained Sequence Level, and messaged An Xiaoran.

Luo Fan arranged with Rose to lure Weird Shadow into an ambush at Foggy Canyon using the Evil Blood Banyan King Tree as bait, while An Xiaoran began absorbing a rule-type Weird Crystal. Rose reported the supposed discovery to Weird Shadow, but he suspected her deception and seized her.

• Rose brought Luo Fan a rule-type Weird Crystal from a Fallen Angel Weird, and Luo Fan verified its properties before accepting it.
• Luo Fan proposed using an Evil Blood Fruit and news of the Evil Blood Banyan King Tree to lure Weird Shadow into Foggy Canyon, with Rose providing the information and guiding him there.
• Luo Fan told the Hope Convoy's core members about the ambush plan, then left for Foggy Canyon with An Xiaoran, Black Bird, and Nightmare Nekomata.
• During the flight, Luo Fan gave An Xiaoran the rule-type Weird Crystal to absorb and arranged for Qipao Weird to set traps in the canyon.
• Rose presented Weird Shadow with an Evil Blood Fruit and claimed to have found a king tree in Foggy Canyon, but Weird Shadow noted that Fallen had disappeared after leaving with her and seized her in a shadow hand.

Rose convinced Weird Shadow that Lord Fallen Angel had died in an accident and revealed the location of the Evil Blood Banyan King Tree, prompting Weird Shadow to order her to lead the way. Meanwhile, a human convoy fleeing a Fourth-Tier Weird found the Weird Bride alive in Lin City, and the report reached Master Wen Hao and Jiang Shengnan.

• Rose claimed Lord Fallen Angel had died when a human convoy's vehicle exploded and sunlight struck it, then offered Weird Shadow a genuine Evil Blood Fruit.
• Rose told Weird Shadow that the Evil Blood Banyan King Tree was in Foggy Canyon, and Weird Shadow released her and ordered her to lead the way.
• A Fourth-Tier Weird chased three off-road vehicles into Lin City but stopped at the city's boundary, forcing the convoy to investigate the empty streets.
• The convoy's scouts found the Weird Bride in a square, silently absorbing energy from an Innate Yin Jade, and she ignored them after glancing their way.
• The convoy escaped Lin City after sunrise and posted accounts of the Weird Bride online, prompting Master Wen Hao and Jiang Shengnan to discuss her survival and presence there.

Master Wen Hao used the Bagua Treasure Box to investigate General Meng’s death and the Golden Weird Mirror, but the mirror’s whereabouts were concealed from divination. Meanwhile, Rose led the Weird Shadow to the Evil Blood Banyan King Tree, where a hidden mechanism clicked as he reached for it.

• Master Wen Hao asked the Mud Bodhisattva Master to divine whether General Meng and the Weird Bride had colluded, and the Bagua Treasure Box answered, “None.”
• The Bagua Treasure Box revealed that General Meng opened the Weird Domain entrance, met the Weird Bride, and was immediately killed.
• The Mud Bodhisattva Master could not display who had taken the Golden Weird Mirror because some power concealed its whereabouts, and Master Wen Hao decided to speak with Luo Fan.
• Rose led the Weird Shadow through Foggy Canyon to the Evil Blood Banyan King Tree, while the Weird Shadow sensed for danger and chose to approach it.
• As the Weird Shadow reached toward the tree, a faint mechanical click sounded in the valley.

Luo Fan and his allies tried to trap and petrify Weird Shadow, but he evaded both attacks through a strange phantom-like ability that left him wounded. The Qipao Weird used Time-Reversal to disrupt him, but Weird Shadow exploited it to return to his full strength from before the Yi City battle, leaving Luo Fan facing a far more dangerous enemy.

• Luo Fan's Sealing Trap failed to hold Weird Shadow, and An Xiaoran's Healing Cross struck only empty air.
• Luo Fan threw the Petrification Bait, but Weird Shadow evaded it; both escapes caused deep wounds to appear on Weird Shadow.
• Weird Shadow recognized Luo Fan and began expanding toward his true form, while the Qipao Weird used Time-Reversal to reverse the transformation.
• Weird Shadow's wounds healed as Time-Reversal continued, and he manipulated it to regain his nearly three-hundred-meter prime form from before the Yi City battle.
• Luo Fan realized the plan had backfired as Weird Shadow stood restored and ready to attack.

Weird Shadow turned the battle against Luo Fan and his allies, striking him and An Xiaoran while resisting Qipao Weird’s Time Reversal. When Weird Shadow aimed a lethal beam at An Xiaoran, Rose threw herself in front of it, leaving her fate uncertain.

• Qipao Weird tried to reverse Weird Shadow further into the past, but he resisted and attacked Luo Fan.
• Luo Fan dodged Weird Shadow’s attacks, but shadow beams wounded him and An Xiaoran shared half his damage through their Symbiotic Contract.
• Qipao Weird strained to interfere with Weird Shadow while the Healing Cross treated Luo Fan and An Xiaoran; Black Bird attacked to build Golden Contract counts.
• Weird Shadow recognized An Xiaoran as Luo Fan’s weakness and fired a lethal beam at her.
• Rose rushed between An Xiaoran and the beam, and the Weird Qi struck her in the chest.
