Luo Fan turned the fight in Har City into a standoff with the overlord-level Weird by using his skills and Innate Yang Steel to make direct attacks risky. He killed two eighth-tier Weird and eased the pressure on the Human Sequence Users, while the overlord-level Weird searched for another way to break the deadlock.

• After the overlord-level Weird crushed Luo Fan's head and failed to kill him, the Human Sequence Users regained morale while the Weird's morale fell.

Luo Fan continued killing high-tier Weirds while the overlord-level Weird hesitated to intervene, until the deaths of three subordinates and their changed gazes forced him to act. The overlord transformed into a giant and began hurling buildings at Luo Fan, who dodged as the Hong City battlefield shook and collapsed around them.

• Luo Fan shot down a third eighth-tier Weird with his Weird Gun after the overlord-level Weird failed to answer its call for help.
• The human Sequence Users’ morale rose, while the other Weirds began looking at their overlord differently because he had not stopped Luo Fan.
• The overlord-level Weird grew hundreds of meters tall, then tore a high-rise apart and hurled it at Luo Fan.
• Luo Fan and his Beast Spirit Doppelgänger evaded the building, which crashed into the ground and caused nearby buildings to collapse as fighters fled.

Luo Fan dodged the overlord-level Weird’s skyscraper attacks and lured him toward the Weird Tide, forcing him to stop to avoid killing his own troops. The Level 92 Weird then rallied the surrounding Weird to swarm Luo Fan.

• Luo Fan taunted the overlord-level Weird until he stopped throwing buildings rather than risk killing his own forces.
• The Level 92 Weird ordered the surrounding Weird to attack, and they surged toward Luo Fan from every direction.

Luo Fan escaped the Weird Tide with Petrification Bait, then killed a group of flying Weird with his Demon-Breaking Dagger. He turned his attention back to the overlord-level Weird and weighed several ways to kill it, deciding not to risk Courage Hymn yet.

• Luo Fan used Petrification Bait to distract the surrounding Weird and flew out of the swarm while they rushed to eat it.
• An Xiaoran dispelled the curse and debuff effects that slowed and weakened Luo Fan as he dodged ranged attacks.
• Luo Fan used his Demon-Breaking Dagger to kill more than a dozen flying Weird, intimidating the others.
• Luo Fan considered using Killing Blow, the Innate Yang Steel Weapon, sunlight, or Courage Hymn against the overlord-level Weird, but decided not to risk Courage Hymn lightly.

The Overlord Level Weird tried to kill Tomeko by hurling an enormous slab of earth at the humans behind their defensive line. An Xiaoran shattered it, but the falling fragments caused heavy casualties, and the Overlord Level Weird began preparing another attack.

• The Overlord Level Weird decided to target Tomeko, reasoning that killing her might make Luo Fan stop fighting.

• Luo Fan flew toward the sphere and locked the Overlord-level Weird as the target of Courage Hymn.
• Courage Hymn raised Luo Fan's Sequence Level from Lv53 to Lv94, matching the Overlord-level Weird for at least ten seconds.

Luo Fan used Courage Hymn to rise from Lv53 to Lv94 and shattered the massive sphere hurled toward Har City. Unable to harm the intangible Overlord Level Weird, he killed its Lv92 aide and turned toward another subordinate as the Overlord tried to stop him.

• Jiang Shengnan, Tomeko, Zhao Chunfeng, and the battlefield fighters saw Luo Fan reach Lv94 and realized he had activated Courage Hymn.

• Luo Fan abandoned the Overlord and killed its Lv92 aide with his dagger and a palm strike.
• Luo Fan targeted a severely injured Lv91 Weird, and the Overlord roared for him to stop before shrinking and rushing toward him.

Luo Fan used his Beast Spirit Doppelgänger and chained Petrification Bait controls to trap the Overlord Level Weird while killing its subordinates. As Courage Hymn expired and his level fell to Lv0, the Overlord Level Weird remained alive, leaving the watching Sequence Users fearing Luo Fan had miscalculated.

• Luo Fan killed the Lv91 Weird with his Demon-Breaking Dagger while the Overlord Level Weird attacked him from behind.

• The Sequence Users watching saw that the Overlord Level Weird was still alive and wondered whether Luo Fan had miscalculated.

Luo Fan used the Beast Spirit Doppelgänger’s remaining time to kill the Overlord Level Weird with Killing Blow, but the battle remained unresolved as a Level 95 Humanoid Weird appeared beside the corpse.

• Luo Fan’s Beast Spirit Doppelgänger landed a hundred Gatling hits on the petrified Overlord Level Weird while Luo Fan prepared the Demon-Breaking Dagger.
• Luo Fan handed the dagger to the Beast Spirit Doppelgänger, which stabbed the Overlord Level Weird in the heart and killed it with Killing Blow.
• The Beast Spirit Doppelgänger reverted to Black Bird, and humans and Weirds reacted to the Overlord Level Weird’s death.
• Jiang Shengnan warned the Sequence Users to stay alert as the remaining Weirds continued to threaten the battlefield.
• A Level 95 Humanoid Weird appeared beside the Overlord Level Weird’s corpse and mocked it, claiming it would take all of Heilongjiang Province.

A level 95 Rule-Type Weird arrived on the Har City battlefield after the Overlord Level Weird fell and demanded the surviving Weirds and humans submit. Tomeko chose to leave the humans behind to save herself, but the Weird Bride appeared before she could act.

• An Xiaoran told Luo Fan that the newly arrived Weird was level 95, leaving the human fighters in despair while Luo Fan relied on his secret fallback.
• The level 95 Weird claimed control of Heilongjiang Province, and nearly all the surviving High-Tier Weirds knelt in submission.
• The Weird confronted Tomeko and ordered her to abandon the humans or die with them, refusing her requests to take Luo Fan and An Xiaoran.
• Tomeko apologized to Luo Fan and An Xiaoran and chose to leave them behind, but the Weird Bride appeared behind her and challenged that choice.

The Weird Bride arrived on the Har City battlefield and challenged the level 95 Space Distortion Weird over the humans Tomeko had nearly betrayed. She revealed that she had reached Rule Sanction Tier, matched the Ninth Tier Weird in a clash, and took Luo Fan’s Demon-Breaking Dagger, leaving her opponent stunned.

• The Weird Bride questioned Tomeko, who submitted to her, while the gathered humans remembered the Bride and the Weirds knelt to greet her as Your Highness.
• The Weird Bride told the level 95 Space Distortion Weird that the humans were her assets and demanded that she release them; the Ninth Tier Weird refused and threatened to fight.
• The Space Distortion Weird attacked, but the Weird Bride swept away her rule power and revealed her true appearance, prompting her to realize the Bride had reached Rule Sanction Tier.
• The two Weirds exchanged palm strikes and were both forced back, showing that the Bride could rival the Ninth Tier Weird despite her suppressed strength.
• The Weird Bride summoned Luo Fan’s Demon-Breaking Dagger into her hand, and the Space Distortion Weird stared in disbelief that a Weird could wield an artifact fused with Innate Yang Steel.

The Weird Bride used her immunity to Innate Yang Steel and her sanction-level rules to overpower the Ninth Tier Weird and claim Heilongjiang Province. As the humans and Weird watched her dominate the battle, Mo Mo and others wondered whether he had lost out by being rescued from her.

• The space-distorting Ninth Tier Weird panicked when the Weird Bride wielded Luo Fan’s Demon-Breaking Dagger, which was forged from Innate Yang Steel.
• The Ninth Tier Weird offered to surrender the humans, but the Weird Bride refused because she intended to control Heilongjiang Province and had already allied with Tomeko for that purpose.
• The Weird Bride attacked and dominated the Ninth Tier Weird, suppressing her rule powers and striking with the Demon-Breaking Dagger.
• The Weirds of Har City began considering the Weird Bride a better master, while the human Sequence Users marveled at her strength.
• Jiang Shengnan, Zhao Yong, and Li Yan looked toward Mr. Mo Mo and wondered if he had lost out by being rescued from the Weird Bride, and Mo Mo had the same thought.

The Weird Bride defeated and killed the Ninth Tier Weird, then claimed control over Heilongjiang Province as its new overlord. As the humans wondered how they would coexist with her, Mr. Mo Mo approached her and was rebuffed because she feared Luo Fan would misunderstand.

• Mr. Mo Mo watched the Weird Bride overpower the Ninth Tier Weird and worried that her victory would leave humanity under her rule.
• The Weird Bride wounded the Ninth Tier Weird with the Demon-Breaking Dagger and rejected her surrender, killing her and claiming her Ninth Tier rule mastery level Weird Crystal.
• The Human Sequence Users felt relief at the Ninth Tier Weird's death, then grew wary of what the Weird Bride's rule would mean for humanity.
• The Weird Bride ordered all the Weird present to submit, and they knelt and accepted her as their master.
• Luo Fan prepared to approach the Weird Bride, but Mr. Mo Mo got there first and asked to talk; she backed away and said she feared Luo Fan would misunderstand.

Mo Mo failed to persuade the Weird Bride to help humanity secure a place to survive, so Master Wen Hao asked Luo Fan to negotiate with her instead. The couple spoke privately while the humans watched from afar, misreading their affectionate conversation as tense negotiations.

• Mo Mo approached the Weird Bride, but she kept her distance and refused to discuss their relationship, so he decided Luo Fan would have a better chance of persuading her.
• Mo Mo told Master Wen Hao that the Weird Bride would listen to Luo Fan, and Master Wen Hao went to ask Luo Fan to negotiate.
• Luo Fan agreed to speak with the Weird Bride, then walked with her to the ruins of a distant building while humans and Weirds watched.
• The Weird Bride thanked Luo Fan for trusting her, and he praised her courage and bearing, making her smile.
• Mo Mo and the other Sequence Users misread the couple's private conversation, and Jiang Shengnan remarked that Luo Fan had quickly charmed the Weird Bride.

After Luo Fan negotiated with the Weird Bride, humans secured seven eastern administrative divisions of Heilongjiang Province as a place to live, while the Weird retained six western divisions. Master Wen Hao then urged Luo Fan to establish an organization to govern the new human territory, and they left Har City to discuss it.

• The Weird Bride ordered the Weird on the Har City battlefield to retreat into the city's buildings after reaching an agreement with Luo Fan.

• Luo Fan agreed to discuss forming the organization and led the survivors from Har City to Mudanjiang City for a postwar meeting.

After the Har City War, survivors established the Sequence Alliance and chose thirteen councilors, including Luo Fan and An Xiaoran. Luo Fan declined to seek the council chair, explaining that everyone had forgotten his greatest contribution: negotiating with the Weird Bride to secure the Seven Cities for humanity.

• Survivors gathered in Mudanjiang City while Luo Fan provided food, and Master Wen Hao hosted a meeting to establish an official alliance for the Seven Cities.
• The attendees formed the Sequence Alliance and selected thirteen councilors: leaders of the Seven Great Bases, Luo Fan, An Xiaoran, and four independent survivors.
• At dinner, Han Shanzhong argued that Luo Fan deserved to be council chair because he had slain three Ninth Tier Weirds, and Hope Convoy members agreed.
• Luo Fan said he did not want the chair, explaining that strength mattered more than rank and that no one remembered his greatest contribution.
• Luo Fan revealed that he had negotiated with the Weird Bride to secure the Seven Cities for humanity, but people had forgotten the unnameable being and the deal.

Luo Fan rejected Han Shanzhong’s offer to become chairman, saying his ability to restrain the Weird Bride mattered more than holding office. Meanwhile, the Red Moon Convoy decided to head for Heilongjiang Province, then learned that Wen Hao and others had established the Sequence Alliance.

• Luo Fan explained that he and An Xiaoran remembered the Weird Bride because they possessed Godhead Fragment power, and An Xiaoran confirmed his account.
• Han Shanzhong renewed his proposal for Luo Fan to become chairman, but Luo Fan refused, saying he was the only one able to hold back the Weird Bride.
• The Red Moon Convoy read the Har City battle report and marveled that Luo Fan had slain several ninth-tier Weird.
• A Sequence User in the convoy noticed that the report did not explain what happened to the final ninth-tier Weird that appeared.
• The convoy agreed to settle in Heilongjiang Province, then a Sequence User pointed out an announcement that Wen Hao and others had established the Sequence Alliance.

The survivors accepted the Sequence Alliance as the authority governing the Seven Cities, and migration to the safe haven began. After days of exhausting meetings, Luo Fan and Jiang Shengnan took a break on the roof of the Alliance headquarters and compared the burdens of leadership with fighting powerful Weirds.

• The Red Moon Convoy's Sequence Users read the announcement establishing the Sequence Alliance and debated its privileges and rules.
• The Red Moon Convoy's Sequence Users accepted the Alliance's governance and continued their plan to settle in the western city lands.
• Survivors across the Apocalypse welcomed humanity's victory at Har City, and many began migrating toward the Seven Cities, the Void Spirit Jade Vein, and Lin City.
• Luo Fan and the other twelve council members held frequent meetings and set provisional rules for settlement, development, and reconstruction in the Seven Cities.
• Jiang Shengnan joined Luo Fan on the roof of the Sequence Alliance headquarters and complained that managing security was more exhausting than fighting sixth-tier Weirds and Fierce Beasts.
• Luo Fan said the daily meetings were more tiring than fighting eighth-tier Weirds, prompting Jiang Shengnan to privately think he was being competitive.
