Chapter Summaries

• The climbers witnessed the flames and poured faith power toward Luo Fan, giving him enough dedicated Faith Points to activate his Godhead Authority.
• The Qipao Weird climbed to step eighty-nine, stopped to catch her breath, then raised her head and moved as something suddenly changed.

The Qipao Weird discovered that knocking other climbers down eased the pressure on the final 999 steps, allowing her to climb past her previous limit. After defeating a powerful Fierce Beast at the 900th step, she continued toward the final 99 steps.

Luo Fan entered the Temple of the Gods and watched An Xiaoran receive a Godhead Fragment. The chapter ended with him asking what divine authority she had obtained.

• 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.

• A Godhead Fragment formed from the winged statue and merged into An Xiaoran, giving her a faint trace of divinity.
• 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 left the choice of taking the final trial or leaving without a divine spark to the Qipao Weird and promised to support her either way.

• An Xiaoran told Luo Fan that her Godhead came from Gabriel and that her abilities grew stronger when she received love.
• The Qipao Weird failed her second statue trial, and a black-robed guide appeared to offer help finding a suitable statue.

• The Qipao Weird asked Luo Fan what she should do, and he told her that the decision was hers and that he would support her choice.

• The Mantis Weird lunged at the Qipao Weird, and An Xiaoran shielded her, but its sickle stopped just short of striking her.
• Two voices fought through the Mantis Weird's mouth, with one voice insisting that it would never let the other hurt An Xiaoran.

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.
• The Black-Robed Weird withdrew, and Luo Fan saw that most Climbers had failed their Divine Core Assessments.
• Luo Fan and An Xiaoran disappeared from the temple, followed by the Qipao Weird, while Tomeko decided to continue her assessment and try again.

• Years Weird agreed that Luo Fan qualified to be with Xiaodie, then demanded that he stay away from Xiaohong.

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

• Luo Fan chose to receive information about Innate Yang Steel, and Mother-in-law told him it was hidden in barren mountains occupied by human survivors in the Western Region No-Man's-Land.

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.

• The Giant Lizard Weird hid in a mountain hollow and vowed never to approach the convoy again.
• Luo Fan returned to his RV and began absorbing the Farmer Weird's rule-type Weird Crystal.

Luo Fan tested how many Faith Points different improvements required and discovered that Faith Point contributions rose roughly tenfold with each increase in a believer’s tier. 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.

• While absorbing the Farmer Weird’s rule-type weird crystal, Luo Fan learned that summoning sunlight at night would cost 30 billion Faith Points, mastering Space-Time Scission would cost 12 billion, and removing Mimicry’s limits would cost 2 billion.
• Luo Fan realized that his existing Faith Points were earmarked for specific objectives and concluded that high-tier Weirds could provide far more Faith Points than ordinary people.
• At lunch, Luo Fan told the convoy that Mimicry could now be used without limit, and the group reacted with surprise and admiration.
• Luo Fan sensed the convoy members’ contributions and inferred that Faith Points increased roughly tenfold with each tier, making powerful Weirds valuable potential believers.
• After the convoy resumed its journey, Luo Fan continued absorbing the rule-type weird crystal and considered persuading high-tier Weirds to believe him.

The Weird lord learned that Luo Fan had survived Fallen Sea Island and decided to deal with him personally. Meanwhile, Luo Fan absorbed the Farmer Weird’s rule-type crystal and broke through to Lv46, just as Zhao Chunfeng’s Divination failed to read the night’s fortune.

Luo Fan awakened the passive Hunting skill while absorbing an eighth-tier Weird Crystal, but an LV83 Humanoid Weird arrived at the Hope Convoy and targeted him over the death of Noble Young Master. The Weird sealed the others’ abilities and advanced on Luo Fan, who remained protected only by the Immortal Treasure Weird Ball.

• Luo Fan awakened Hunting, which ignored a target’s defenses if it had not detected him within one second of an attack hitting.
• Luo Fan resumed absorbing the eighth-tier Weird Crystal, but a Humanoid Weird approached the Hope Convoy and its attacks made the White Bone Turrets’ shells disappear.
• Zhao Chunfeng identified the approaching Weird as LV83, and it confirmed that it had come to see Luo Fan, then used an invisible force to drag him toward it.
• Luo Fan activated the Immortal Treasure Weird Ball to block the Weird’s force, while Niu Dagang and the others attacked and were stopped by its Vision Sealing ability.
• 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 used Mimicry and the threat of a top-tier Weird to make an eighth-tier Weird believe he had powerful backing, driving it away from the camp. Afterward, he gained 328.5 million Faith Points and planned to use the same deception to earn more from High-Tier Weirds.

• 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.
• The eighth-tier Weird believed Luo Fan had the Years Weird's backing, saw the eighth-tier Weird Crystal as further proof, and disappeared into the night.

• 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.
