Luo Fan and Mo Yuling discovered that each pair arriving at the Water Pool was part of a two-hour time loop, with one pair leaving as the next appeared. Mo Yuling broke through to Lv51 and strengthened her Teleportation by finding higher-quality weird luo grass, leaving the newcomers eager to learn how much stronger it had become.

• Mo Yuling told the newcomers that she had found three plants of weird luo grass, including one of especially high quality, and that her Teleportation was stronger than the first Mo Yuling’s.

Mo Yuling explained that her Teleportation Array skill let anyone travel between prepared nodes, and Luo Fan arranged materials for three arrays. As they left the mountain, Luo Fan suspected the pool connected different spacetimes, while Mr. Mo Mo and Master Wen Hao reacted with astonishment to the teleportation-array plan.

• Luo Fan and Mo Yuling flew away on Black Bird and discussed how their different experiences at the pool challenged the idea that they were versions from one timeline.
• Mo Yuling listed the materials needed for teleportation arrays, and Luo Fan realized his void spirit jade reserves could support making three.
• Luo Fan sent Mr. Mo Mo and Master Wen Hao a list of materials and explained teleportation arrays, leaving both men dumbfounded by the prospect of instant travel.

Luo Fan arranged for Mr. Mo Mo and Master Wen Hao to gather materials for teleportation arrays, while the Void Spirit Jade Vein moved closer to active mining. After returning to Lin City, he reunited with the Weird Bride and explained the arrays’ potential, which she judged more important than several of Mo Mo’s inventions.

• Mr. Mo Mo and Master Wen Hao recognized the strategic value of teleportation arrays and began organizing the materials Luo Fan had listed.
• Luo Fan learned that Zhang Da was guarding the Void Spirit Jade Vein and that its tunnels and ventilation system were underway, with mining expected to start in a few days.
• Luo Fan and Mo Yuling flew back to Lin City, where he saw that increasing numbers of survivors had settled around the outskirts.
• Luo Fan sent Mo Yuling to rest in the Weird Domain, then reunited with the Weird Bride and showed her the Weird Gun forged with Innate Yang Steel.
• Luo Fan explained Mo Yuling’s promotion, the teleportation techniques, and the arrays to the Weird Bride, who said Mo Yuling’s skill was more important than Mo Mo’s phones, Monitoring Glasses, and Mustard Seed Bags.

Luo Fan and the Weird Bride flew to the mountain to investigate the pool where Mo Yuling had awakened her skill, hoping it might help the Weird Bride understand time and break through to rule sanction level. They found only ordinary forest, and they left suspecting the pool appeared under specific conditions tied to Mo Yuling’s promotion mission.

• Luo Fan told the Weird Bride that different versions of himself and Mo Yuling had arrived at the pool in separate pairs and gained different skills from their missions.
• The Weird Bride explained that her aging law was a time rule and asked to visit the pool in hopes of overcoming her bottleneck.
• Luo Fan and the Weird Bride rode Black Bird from Lin City to the mountain under cover of night.
• Luo Fan and the Weird Bride reached the pool’s former location but found only dense forest, and Luo Fan’s mental scan revealed no trace of water or a waterfall.
• The Weird Bride suggested that the pool was a temporary rift between parallel spaces, and Luo Fan proposed that Mo Yuling’s fifth-tier promotion mission triggered its appearance.
• The Weird Bride said Sister Hong’s time-reversal ability might restore Mo Yuling to Lv50 and bring the pool back, but she did not know where her sister was.

Luo Fan told the Weird Bride that Qipao Weird was the owner of Peach Blossom Spring Town, and they planned to ask her to use time reversal on Mo Yuling without revealing that it would help the Weird Bride advance. The Weird Bride stayed in the mountains to watch for the Water Pool, while Luo Fan flew toward Lin City to approach Qipao Weird using Mo Yuling’s teleportation array as the reason.

• Luo Fan explained that Qipao Weird was Peach Blossom Spring Town’s owner and that his father-in-law had changed her appearance and sealed her identity.
• The Weird Bride teased Luo Fan about his supposed fate with Sister Hong, then warned him not to reveal that her help would support the Weird Bride’s breakthrough.
• Luo Fan and the Weird Bride planned to ask Qipao Weird to reverse time for Mo Yuling so she could attempt the fifth-tier promotion mission again.
• The Weird Bride chose to remain in the mountains and wait to see whether the Water Pool reappeared when Mo Yuling returned to Lv50.
• Luo Fan rode Black Bird through the night, deciding to cite the value of Mo Yuling’s teleportation array when asking Sister Hong for help, and arrived at the Lin City Weird Domain at dawn.

Luo Fan had the Qipao Weird use Time Reversal to return Mo Yuling to Lv50 and erase her newly gained knowledge of teleportation arrays, hoping to make the Water Pool appear. The Weird Bride set out to investigate, but several figures emerged from the shadows before she reached it.

• Luo Fan brought Mo Yuling to Peach Blossom Spring Town and asked the Qipao Weird to reverse her recent breakthrough from Lv51 to Lv50.
• The Qipao Weird warned that Time Law would eventually restore Mo Yuling to Lv51, then used Time Reversal to return her temporarily to Lv50 and erase her teleportation-array knowledge.
• Luo Fan thanked the Qipao Weird and hurried away with Mo Yuling, then messaged the Weird Bride that Mo Yuling had returned to her pre-breakthrough condition.
• The Weird Bride left her cave to investigate the Water Pool, exchanged reassuring and teasing messages with Luo Fan, and headed into the forest.
• Before the Weird Bride had gone a hundred meters, several figures emerged from the shadows of ancient trees in front of her.

Fang Lin’s team discovered a waterfall clearing that had appeared where dense forest should have been, then encountered the Weird Bride walking unharmed in broad daylight. The team panicked at the sight, while the Weird Bride realized they had witnessed her defying sunlight.

• Fang Lin and her five companions searched the mountains for a powerful third-tier summoned beast.
• The team emerged from the forest to find a waterfall and pool where the younger sister had seen dense woods moments earlier.
• Fang Lin concluded the strange landscape was an unusual place, and the team considered exploring it.
• Footsteps approached from behind, and the Weird Bride emerged from the forest in a red wedding gown.
• The team recognized the woman as a Weird and recoiled when sunlight failed to harm her.
• The bald man insisted she must be a Sequence User disguised as a Weird, while the Weird Bride worried that the humans had seen her walking in sunlight.

The Weird Bride hid her ability to walk in sunlight by convincing Fang Lin and her team that she was a human Sequence User whose transformation skill had side effects. As she learned why Fang Lin’s team had come to the mountains, several newcomers arrived, shocking everyone with their appearance.

• The Weird Bride decided not to kill Fang Lin and her teammates to keep her sunlight secret, and claimed she had transformed into a Weird for convenience.
• She changed into another Weird form and explained that staying transformed too long prevented her from returning to human form for a while.
• Fang Lin accepted the explanation and told the Weird Bride that her team was searching the mountains for a top-class Third Tier Fierce Beast.
• The Weird Bride said she had come to find someone and asked Fang Lin about her team’s purpose.
• Several people approached, and Fang Lin and her companions stared at the newcomers in shock.

Fang Lin’s team encountered exact copies of themselves, and both groups fought while unable to prove which was real. The Weird Bride chose not to stop them, then met another version of herself near the pool.

• Fang Lin’s team emerged from the forest and came face-to-face with an identical six-person team.
• The opposing team recognized the Weird Bride as a humanoid Weird, but became confused when she stood unharmed in the sunlight.
• Fang Lin’s counterpart accused her team of being impostors, and both groups attacked with matching skills and tactics.
• The two teams fought to a standstill, each insisting they were the real ones and unable to distinguish their memories from their opponents’.
• The Weird Bride considered using her vision sealing power to end the fight, but lowered her hand and let the teams continue battling.
• The Weird Bride turned toward the trees and saw another version of herself approaching in a red wedding gown.

Two identical Fang Lin teams realized they were both real after meeting each other and two identical Weird Brides at the Water Pool. The Weird Brides began studying the pool’s space-time singularity, and their meditation caused the pool and surrounding scenery to shift unnaturally.

• A second Weird Bride arrived, and the two explained their matching Weird forms as a side effect of their Transformation abilities.
• The two Fang Lin teams stopped fighting and compared their identical memories, realizing neither team was an impostor and their battle had been pointless.
• Both Weird Brides entered the Water Pool and immersed themselves in its unusual space-time before it disappeared.
• The Weird Bride recognized the pool as a localized whirlpool where parallel timelines briefly intersected and felt the barrier to her understanding of the Time Law begin to loosen.
• The Water Pool began to rotate, spray circled its surface, and unstable outlines appeared in the air as the nearby teams watched in horror.

Luo Fan sent Mo Yuling back to Lin City and flew to the Water Pool, where he found a massive space-time disturbance. Near the pool, he encountered two groups of timeline-displaced Sequence Users, including Fang Lin, whom he recognized as someone from Jiangkou Town, and asked what had happened.

• Luo Fan told Mo Yuling she would regain the fifth tier within a day and sent Black Bird to take her back to Lin City.
• Luo Fan cleared a runway on the highway, took out his Jet Fighter, and flew toward the Water Pool.
• Luo Fan saw a huge space-time vortex above the mountain and plunged from the jet into the forest, frightening away nearby fierce beasts with his fifth-tier aura.
• Luo Fan used Spirit Void Step to reach two identical teams of Sequence Users near the Water Pool, who had been brought together from different timelines.
• Fang Lin recognized Luo Fan and told him she had seen him in Jiangkou Town, where he had been at captain level.
• Luo Fan asked Fang Lin what had caused the violent disturbance around the Water Pool.

Luo Fan learned that the Weird Bride had triggered a spacetime storm while seeking insight into time law, then approached the pool and found both identical Weird Brides caught in uncontrollable aging and reverse aging. As they neared their limits, he threw an Energy Chain toward the Weird Bride closest to him, but another change interrupted his attempt.

• Fang Lin told Luo Fan how two women in bright red wedding gowns entered the pool before its spacetime anomalies began.
• Luo Fan sent Fang Lin and her injured teammates away, then advanced toward the pool through increasingly chaotic time.
• Luo Fan saw that the storm had stripped away both Weird Brides’ transformations and that their aging and reverse-flow laws were colliding.
• The two Weird Brides began rapidly growing younger and older in alternating cycles, showing pain as they struggled to endure the storm.
• Luo Fan summoned an Energy Chain and threw it toward the nearer Weird Bride, but a sudden change occurred as it flew.

Luo Fan watched the two Weird Brides near death as the out-of-control Time Law destroyed his chain and blocked the Trading Panel from delivering another. Unable to leave his wife behind, he charged into the spacetime storm and seized both figures, whereupon the aged Weird Bride suddenly opened her eyes.

• A chain Luo Fan sent toward the Weird Brides corroded into dust before it could reach them, while the two women aged and regressed at a rapidly accelerating rate.
• Luo Fan tried to buy a Fourth-Tier chain-type Uncanny Artifact through the Trading Panel, then realized no Weird could deliver it in daylight.
• As one Weird Bride shrank toward nonexistence and the other neared death from old age, Luo Fan chose to enter the spacetime storm despite the danger.
• The Time Law tore at Luo Fan as one side of his body aged and the other regressed, but he managed to grab both Weird Brides.
• The aged Weird Bride suddenly opened her eyes while Luo Fan held the two figures.

Luo Fan watched the aged Weird Bride dissolve into ash, then escaped the collapsing spacetime storm with the infant Weird Bride. He found that restoring the infant would cost tens of billions of Faith Points and that reviving his aged wife could not be calculated, so he prepared to summon the Years Weird—just as the infant began to change.

• The aged Weird Bride pushed Luo Fan away and dissolved into ash in the pool.
• Luo Fan rescued the infant Weird Bride and escaped to shore as the spacetime storm subsided.
• Luo Fan realized the Weird Bride's aging law had gone out of control and caused her death.
• Luo Fan found that restoring the infant required tens of billions of Faith Points, while the cost of reviving the aged Weird Bride appeared only as question marks.
• Luo Fan decided to call on the Years Weird for help, but the infant Weird Bride began to change before he could summon him.

After the infant Weird Bride vanished with the Water Pool, Luo Fan realized his wife from this space-time had died and found that his godhead could not calculate the cost of resurrecting her. Far away, Mother-in-law, the Years Weird, and the Qipao Weird each sensed that something terrible had happened, as space began to warp before Luo Fan.

• The infant Weird Bride disappeared as the Water Pool vanished, and Luo Fan reasoned that she had returned to her own space-time.
• Luo Fan concluded that his own wife, the aged Weird Bride, had died, then tried to set a resurrection task but received only question marks.
• Mother-in-law dropped her teacup and sensed that a close relative had suffered a misfortune.
• The Years Weird was jolted from his meditation by an unexplained foreboding.
• The Qipao Weird's bracelet thread snapped, and she felt that something very bad had happened.
• Space began to warp in front of Luo Fan.

Luo Fan watched the Weird Bride reappear after vanishing in the Spacetime Storm and learned that she had survived by completing her comprehension of the Aging Law. He also discovered that his rescue had interrupted the parallel-space-time Weird Bride’s breakthrough, then asked his wife how it felt to reach the rule sanction tier.

• Luo Fan sensed the Weird Bride’s aura in the starlight forming around him and realized she might still be alive.
• The Weird Bride reappeared and explained that she had experienced aging to master the Aging Law, not died.
• The Weird Bride told Luo Fan she had pushed him out of the Spacetime Storm both to protect him and because he had interrupted her comprehension.
• Luo Fan learned that the parallel-space-time Weird Bride had been comprehending a reverse-flow law and remained an infant after his intervention cut off her breakthrough.
• Luo Fan set aside his guilt about the parallel-space-time Weird Bride and asked his wife how reaching the rule sanction tier felt.

The Weird Bride explained that reaching rule sanction tier let her nullify rules, enforce her own rule without being bound by it, and become unnameable. As Luo Fan and his wife sheltered in a cave, Fang Lin’s team gradually forgot the Weird Bride, just before a ripple disturbed the space beside the couple.

• The Weird Bride demonstrated that Luo Fan’s rule-based skills could not affect her and explained her sanction-level power to impose aging without obeying it herself.
• The Weird Bride told Luo Fan that her breakthrough had also made her an unnameable Weird, and he felt reassured that others would forget her after seeing her.
• Luo Fan and the Weird Bride headed toward her cave to avoid the sunlight and encountered Fang Lin’s team waiting at its entrance.
• Luo Fan took the Weird Bride into the cave, while Fang Lin’s team discussed her strange appearance and suspected she might be a Weird.
• Fang Lin’s team quickly lost their memories of the Weird Bride and began insisting that Luo Fan had arrived alone.
• Luo Fan and the Weird Bride spoke of staying together without hiding, but a ripple suddenly disturbed the space beside them.

The Years Weird arrived at the cave after sensing danger and learned that the Weird Bride had broken through to rule sanction tier with Luo Fan’s help. After watching the events in the Water Pool through fragments of time, he recognized that Luo Fan had risked his life to save her, and his view of his son-in-law softened slightly.

• The Weird Bride shielded Luo Fan when the Years Weird suddenly appeared in the cave.
• The Years Weird scolded Luo Fan for hiding behind a woman, and Luo Fan praised his wife for protecting him.
• The Years Weird noticed that the Weird Bride had broken through to rule sanction tier, and she said Luo Fan had helped her.
• The Weird Bride recounted her comprehension of the aging law and how Luo Fan entered the spacetime storm to save her.
• The Years Weird reviewed the past through fragments of time and saw Luo Fan risk his life and grieve when the Weird Bride disappeared.
• The Years Weird looked at Luo Fan with less hostility after witnessing his actions.
