• Luo Fan received a private message on his Doomsday Phone, read it, and jumped to his feet in alarm.

After Zhang Da stole the Demon-Breaking Dagger from the Void Spirit Jade Vein, Luo Fan set out to pursue him while hiding that the stolen weapon was fake. He planned to visit the vein first and act as if he had lost the genuine dagger so no one would suspect his precautions.

• Master Wen Hao told Luo Fan that Zhang Da had left the Void Spirit Jade Vein without permission and taken the Demon-Breaking Dagger.
• Luo Fan told the Hope Convoy what had happened, then left alone on Black Bird to go to the vein.
• Zhao Chunfeng suspected Luo Fan had anticipated the theft and kept his suspicions to himself.
• Luo Fan asked Master Wen Hao about the pursuit, then arranged to meet Jiang Shengnan and Li Yan at the Void Spirit Jade Vein.
• Luo Fan revealed that Zhang Da had stolen a fake dagger while the real one remained hidden in the Karst Cave, and decided to visit the vein first to make his loss seem genuine.

Luo Fan secretly used the Golden Weird Mirror to locate Zhang Da, then left a replica Weird Gun with Li Yan to guard the void spirit jade vein while he and Jiang Shengnan pursued the thief. As Black Bird flew west, Luo Fan reassured Jiang Shengnan about the stolen Demon-Breaking Dagger, but his calmness only deepened her guilt.

• Luo Fan inspected the mine, made a replica Weird Gun, and paid the Golden Weird Mirror a fifth-tier weird crystal to reveal Zhang Da's location.
• Jiang Shengnan and Li Yan apologized for Zhang Da stealing the Demon-Breaking Dagger, and Luo Fan told them they were not responsible.
• Luo Fan handed the replica Weird Gun to Li Yan to guard the vein and flew west with Jiang Shengnan on Black Bird.
• Jiang Shengnan explained that her compass could detect Zhang Da within ten kilometers, while Luo Fan claimed Zhao Chunfeng had divined Zhang Da's location west of them.
• Luo Fan and Jiang Shengnan discussed the difficulty of catching the fast-flying Zhang Da, then set off toward his location.
• Jiang Shengnan told Luo Fan she felt the Aerospace Base had wronged him, and Luo Fan urged her not to blame herself or Master Wen Hao.

Jiang Shengnan defeated a fifth-tier flying beast while traveling with Luo Fan, who envied the convenience of her summoning space. They reached Zhang Da’s last known location, but he had already left the Compass’s range, so Luo Fan and Jiang Shengnan approached a nearby convoy.

• A fifth-tier flying beast attacked the black bird, and Jiang Shengnan summoned her griffin and killed it with her spear.
• Jiang Shengnan stored the beast’s corpse in a high-capacity Mustard Seed Bag made from void spirit jade, then recalled her griffin into her summoning space.
• Luo Fan envied the convenience of Jiang Shengnan’s summoning space, while she said she envied his rule-type divine skills.
• Luo Fan guided the black bird to the coordinates where Zhang Da had previously been, but Jiang Shengnan’s Compass showed that Zhang Da had left its ten-kilometer detection range.
• Luo Fan and Jiang Shengnan spotted a convoy beside an abandoned factory and walked toward it.

Luo Fan and Jiang Shengnan tracked Zhang Da to a survivor convoy, where they learned he had headed for Hancheng to challenge a powerful weird being with the Demon-Breaking Dagger. They flew after him, while Luo Fan worried that the weapon might not save him.

• Luo Fan and Jiang Shengnan asked a convoy for directions to Zhang Da, and the captain recognized Luo Fan after he proved his identity.
• Luo Fan explained that he was searching for Zhang Da because of the Teleportation Arrays, keeping the truth about Zhang Da’s stolen treasure quiet.
• The captain said Zhang Da had saved the convoy from a Fourth-Tier Fierce Beast, then headed west toward Hancheng to face a powerful weird being.
• Luo Fan thanked the convoy with food and flew with Jiang Shengnan toward Hancheng on Black Bird.
• Jiang Shengnan worried Zhang Da would quickly defeat the weird being with the Demon-Breaking Dagger, but Luo Fan feared he might barely survive.

Zhang Da went to Hancheng to test the Demon-Breaking Dagger against a powerful Weird, unaware that the weapon was a fake. After provoking the city’s ruler, he discovered it was a Rule-Type Weird whose Vision Sealing Power suppressed his abilities, and he was forced to draw one of its tarot cards.

• Luo Fan realized Zhang Da had taken the counterfeit Demon-Breaking Dagger to Hancheng and flew after him on Black Bird.
• Zhang Da attacked Hancheng’s buildings and killed dozens of low-tier Weirds to lure out the powerful creature in the city.
• A humanoid Weird emerged from the ruins, and its Vision Sealing Power cut off Zhang Da’s abilities and sent him crashing to the ground.
• The Weird presented Zhang Da with a fan of pitch-black tarot cards and ordered him to draw one.
• Unable to retrieve the Demon-Breaking Dagger from his Mustard Seed Bag, Zhang Da drew a card from the Weird’s row.

Luo Fan and Jiang Shengnan found Zhang Da dead in Hancheng, then confronted the rule-type Weird who had killed him and taken his Mustard Seed Bag. Though the Weird sealed Jiang Shengnan’s powers, Luo Fan resisted the effect, knocked him down with a slap, and demanded answers.

• Luo Fan scanned Hancheng from Black Bird’s back and found Zhang Da’s lifeless body among the ruins.
• Jiang Shengnan examined Zhang Da and discovered his Mustard Seed Bag, which held his equipment and the Demon-Breaking Dagger, was missing.

• Luo Fan ignored the Tarot Cards, slapped the Weird across the face, pinned him to the ground, and demanded that he answer his questions.
• The Weird tried to retaliate, but Luo Fan stomped him down and made him spit out Weird Qi and black blood.

Luo Fan recovered Zhang Da’s Mustard Seed Bag and Demon-Breaking Dagger after killing the Rule-Type Weird that had taken them. Back in Lin City, he gave the Weird Crystal to Ai Si, then An Xiaoran approached with good news.

• Luo Fan forced the Rule-Type Weird to reveal Zhang Da’s Mustard Seed Bag, then killed it with the counterfeit Demon-Breaking Dagger and took its Weird Crystal.
• Jiang Shengnan returned to the Aerospace Base while Luo Fan flew to the Void Spirit Jade Vein, where Li Yan took responsibility for guarding the dagger and overseeing the mining.
• Luo Fan returned to Lin City and confirmed to Niu Dagang and the others that Zhang Da was dead and the Demon-Breaking Dagger had been recovered.
• Luo Fan gave the Rule-Type Weird Crystal to Ai Si, the next member in the Hope Convoy’s distribution order.
• After the group shared a meal, An Xiaoran approached Luo Fan with good news.

After reaching Lv50 and absorbing the Rule-Type Weird Crystal, An Xiaoran began her Fifth Tier Promotion Mission, which required her to hunt a powerful Weird alone. Luo Fan gave her his Weird Gun to improve her chances, then worried as she chose an Eighth Tier Weird as her target.

• An Xiaoran told Luo Fan she had reached Lv50 and needed to hunt a Weird stronger than herself to complete her promotion mission.
• Luo Fan gave An Xiaoran his Weird Gun, and she set out alone to hunt a powerful Weird.
• Luo Fan told the Hope Convoy about An Xiaoran’s mission, and Zhao Chunfeng reminded everyone that she had to complete it herself.
• Luo Fan and the Hope Convoy rested safely in the Weird Domain for three days while he checked in with An Xiaoran morning and evening.
• 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.
• An Xiaoran told Luo Fan she had found traces of an eighth-tier Weird in the area but knew little about its type or abilities.
• Luo Fan promised to watch from the sidelines and intervene only if An Xiaoran's life was in danger.

• An enormous eighth-tier Weird emerged from the river, and An Xiaoran healed her wrist.
• 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 stopped a seven-person Sequence User team from approaching An Xiaoran’s fifth-tier Promotion Mission. An Xiaoran faced an Lv82 eighth-tier bone dragon alone, while Luo Fan stayed close enough to intervene if she was in danger.

• 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.

• The watching Sequence Users were stunned as An Xiaoran aimed at the retreating Bone Dragon and pulled the trigger.
• An Xiaoran fired a Crystal-Energy Bullet at the Bone Dragon.

An Xiaoran killed the eighth-tier Bone Dragon alone, obtained its Weird Crystal, and completed her promotion to fifth-tier Sequence User. She returned to Luo Fan, who congratulated her and asked what new rule-type skill she had awakened; An Xiaoran began examining it to explain its details.

• 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.
• The Sequence Users watching from halfway up the mountain were stunned to see An Xiaoran defeat the Bone Dragon alone.
• 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.
