Chapter Summaries

After rescuing An Xiaoran, Luo Fan reached Sequence Level 58 and received a late-night visit from Lin Wanqing. She explained that Shi Chonghu had arranged to meet her, leaving Luo Fan wondering why she had come to tell him.

• Luo Fan recalled that Shi Chonghu was one of the Sequence Alliance's Thirteen Councilors and asked whether he was interested in Lin Wanqing.

Luo Fan questioned why Lin Wanqing had come to tell him about Shi Chonghu’s invitation, then suspected her reaction revealed something about her feelings for him. Lin Wanqing explained that Shi Chonghu had invited her because he believed she and Luo Fan had once been romantically involved but had grown apart.

• Luo Fan told Lin Wanqing that whether she accepted Shi Chonghu’s advances was her own decision.

• Luo Fan complained that Shi Chonghu was sticking his nose into their affairs.

Lin Wanqing told Luo Fan that Shi Chonghu had been probing whether she resented Luo Fan so he could use it against him. Luo Fan left to confront Shi Chonghu, seized him in front of witnesses, and left the other councilors demanding an explanation.

• Lin Wanqing explained that Shi Chonghu wanted to learn whether she resented Luo Fan so he could target him, and noted that Luo Fan had become careless about political threats.

• Luo Fan transformed into a fifth-tier mantis-like beast and cut off both of Shi Chonghu’s arms.
• The other councilors and senior Alliance personnel gathered, questioned Luo Fan, and asked Lin Wanqing what had happened, while she watched Luo Fan in disbelief.

Luo Fan defended his attack on Shi Chonghu by claiming Shi Chonghu had plotted against him, while several Councilors challenged his lack of evidence and warned that his actions threatened the Alliance’s rules.

• Niu Dagang and the Hope Convoy members left after Zhao Chunfeng signaled them to go.
• Lin Wanqing followed Luo Fan into his residence and demanded that he explain the Weird Bride.

Lin Wanqing questioned Luo Fan about making Xiaodie the Weird presiding over the Seven Cities Territory, then explained how her trust in her half sister broke down over a stolen treasure. She ended her account by recalling that Xiaodie denied ever receiving the Yin Spirit Jade.

• Luo Fan told Lin Wanqing he had worked with Xiaodie because he needed a powerful Weird to protect Heilongjiang Province and had not wanted to openly fall out with her.
• Lin Wanqing asked about Luo Fan's relationship with Xiaodie and why Xiaodie kept humans in the Seven Cities Territory, but Luo Fan said he did not know her motives.
• Lin Wanqing recalled that she and Xiaodie had lived together as half sisters, and that she had once believed Xiaodie respected her.
• Lin Wanqing explained that she had taken the Yin Spirit Jade from their father and asked Xiaodie to hide it while she endured his punishment.
• Lin Wanqing said Xiaodie later denied that Lin Wanqing had given her the Yin Spirit Jade, destroying Lin Wanqing's trust in their sisterly bond.

Luo Fan tried to reconcile the Qipao Weird and Xiaodie after learning that their feud over the Yin Spirit Jade stemmed from a time-travel misunderstanding. Unable to explain the truth without revealing what he knew, he persuaded the Qipao Weird to let him investigate, and she agreed.

• The Qipao Weird told Luo Fan that Xiaodie had denied receiving the Yin Spirit Jade after the Qipao Weird asked for it back.
• Luo Fan recognized that both women believed their accounts because the jade had been given to Xiaodie's future self, though he could not explain this outright.
• The Qipao Weird became upset when Luo Fan hesitated to take her side, but he tactfully argued that Xiaodie did not seem like someone who would deliberately deceive her.
• Luo Fan suggested asking the Weird Bride about the incident to uncover whether a misunderstanding had occurred.
• The Qipao Weird agreed to let Luo Fan investigate.

Luo Fan reassured the Qipao Weird, then visited the Weird Bride and told her about Sister Hong’s account of their past conflict. The Weird Bride confirmed that the Yin Spirit Jade misunderstanding came from time travel, and Luo Fan urged her to repair her relationship with Sister Hong as much as possible.

• The Qipao Weird asked whether she or Xiaodie mattered more to Luo Fan, and he told her she was more important before she left.
• After sleeping and eating with An Xiaoran, Luo Fan transformed into a black bird and flew to the Weird Bride’s city.
• The Weird Bride welcomed Luo Fan, and he told her about Shi Chonghu’s plot, his killing of Shi Chonghu, and Sister Hong’s account of their grievance.
• The Weird Bride explained that she and Sister Hong had both been right about the Yin Spirit Jade because time travel had caused the misunderstanding, and she showed Luo Fan the jade she had recovered.
• The Weird Bride said their relationship had become too strained to fully repair, but Luo Fan urged her to make peace as much as they could.

The Weird Bride agreed to let Luo Fan try to mend her relationship with Sister Hong, and Luo Fan later showed Lin Wanqing the Yin Spirit Jade that had caused their old conflict. He explained that the present-day Weird Bride had traveled back three years to receive it, leaving Lin Wanqing doubtful but reconsidering after recalling a strange encounter with Xiaodie.

• The Weird Bride agreed to support Luo Fan's efforts to repair her relationship with Sister Hong.
• After spending several days with the Weird Bride, Luo Fan returned to his residence and absorbed energy from a Ninth Tier Weird Crystal.
• Luo Fan summoned Lin Wanqing and showed her the Yin Spirit Jade, which she recognized as the piece she had given Xiaodie three years earlier.
• Luo Fan explained that the present-day Weird Bride had traveled back in time to receive the jade, but Lin Wanqing rejected the idea because even her father, the Years Emperor, could not travel through time.
• Lin Wanqing reconsidered the explanation and remembered that Xiaodie had once attacked her and easily suppressed her Rule Power.

Lin Wanqing reconsidered Xiaodie's past ambush after Luo Fan explained that two versions of Xiaodie may have existed across different timelines. Luo Fan used the Golden Weird Mirror to investigate whether Xiaodie received the Yin Spirit Jade three years ago, and the mirror began answering after he paid its price.

• Lin Wanqing realized that Xiaodie's sudden attack three years earlier may have come from the present timeline, but she struggled to accept the possibility that Xiaodie could travel through time and space.
• Luo Fan suggested using the Golden Weird Mirror to investigate Xiaodie's abilities.
• Lin Wanqing asked whether the current Weird Bride Xiaodie could travel through time and space, but the Golden Weird Mirror did not respond.
• Luo Fan reframed the question and asked whether Xiaodie had received the Yin Spirit Jade from Qipao Weird Xiaohong three years earlier.
• The Golden Weird Mirror quoted a price of one seventh-tier weird crystal, and Luo Fan paid it while Lin Wanqing waited for its answer.

Lin Wanqing used the Golden Weird Mirror to learn that Xiaodie had not received the Yin Spirit Jade three years earlier, leading her to conclude that Xiaodie had traveled through spacetime and intensifying her jealousy. As Luo Fan worried that his attempt to repair their relationship had backfired, Lin Wanqing began doubting his loyalty to her and made an unexpected intimate advance.

• Lin Wanqing asked the Golden Weird Mirror whether Xiaodie had received the Yin Spirit Jade three years earlier, and it answered no.
• Lin Wanqing concluded that the Xiaodie who had taken the jade was her future self traveling back in time, and she grew more envious of Xiaodie's power.
• Luo Fan noticed Lin Wanqing's jealousy and worried that retrieving the Yin Spirit Jade had worsened the sisters' relationship.
• Lin Wanqing questioned Luo Fan about how quickly he had retrieved the jade, then reconsidered whether he would truly betray Xiaodie to help her.
• Lin Wanqing asked whether Luo Fan was single and began touching his chest, leaving him frozen and unable to think clearly.

Lin Wanqing confessed that she wanted to date Luo Fan, partly because she liked him and partly to poach him from Xiaodie, but Luo Fan rejected her because he valued sincere, uncomplicated relationships. Lin Wanqing accepted his refusal and left, pausing at the entrance to his home.

• Lin Wanqing tried to seduce Luo Fan and asked him to be her partner, but he pushed her away and said he wanted to preserve their friendship.
• Lin Wanqing challenged Luo Fan's earlier support for her dating Shi Chonghu and asked why he would not date her instead.
• Luo Fan asked Lin Wanqing why she wanted to date him, and she admitted she liked him but also hoped to use herself as an offer to win him away from Xiaodie.
• Luo Fan rejected Lin Wanqing because he wanted their relationship to remain a friendship and disliked treating romantic feelings as a bargaining chip.
• Lin Wanqing accepted his refusal, said goodbye, and paused as she reached the entrance to Luo Fan's home.

Luo Fan reached LV58 while the Sequence Alliance rebuilt civilization, and An Xiaoran healed hundreds of survivors during a livestream. Her Holy Light Angel Sequence rose to LV59, surpassing Luo Fan, and she smiled at his encouraging message as the helicopter suddenly jolted.

• Lin Wanqing thanked Luo Fan for resolving the misunderstanding between her and Xiaodie before leaving his room.
• Over half a month, the Sequence Alliance rebuilt damaged areas, and Luo Fan absorbed a Ninth-Tier Weird Crystal to reach LV58.
• An Xiaoran used Regeneration to restore hundreds of disabled survivors while livestreaming in another city.
• An Xiaoran's Holy Light Angel Sequence rose to LV59, and she messaged Luo Fan with the news.
• Luo Fan congratulated An Xiaoran and said she might become China's first Sixth-Tier Sequence User.
• An Xiaoran smiled at Luo Fan's praise as her helicopter suddenly jolted.

Yamato ambushed An Xiaoran in the air, destroyed her helicopter and captured her despite her resistance. At the Sequence Alliance, Luo Fan noticed that An Xiaoran had not replied to his message and began to suspect something was wrong.

• Yamato appeared on a Bone Dragon and demanded that An Xiaoran come with him.
• An Xiaoran left the helicopter to let the Sequence Alliance staff escape, but Yamato’s Dragon Breath destroyed the helicopter and everyone aboard.
• An Xiaoran attacked Yamato in her Angel Descending form, but her skills barely affected him.
• Yamato pulled An Xiaoran to him, suppressed her power, and flew away with her on the Bone Dragon.
• Luo Fan praised An Xiaoran by message, then absorbed a ninth-tier weird crystal while waiting for her reply.
• After two hours without a response, Luo Fan grew concerned and picked up his Doomsday Phone.

Luo Fan discovered that An Xiaoran had not returned and used the Golden Weird Mirror to locate her outside the Seven Cities Territory. He reached a town where Yamato’s presence suppressed his rule-type skills, then transformed into a fly and continued toward the building where An Xiaoran was being held or staying.

• Luo Fan went to An Xiaoran’s residence, learned she had not returned, and failed to reach her through repeated video calls.
• Luo Fan used the Golden Weird Mirror to find An Xiaoran’s location, but it could not tell him what had happened to her.
• Luo Fan transformed into Black Bird and flew to a ruined town beyond the Seven Cities Territory.
• Luo Fan felt his rule-type skills suppressed near An Xiaoran’s location and realized Yamato was probably nearby.
• A Third-Tier Weird drove Luo Fan away, so he transformed into an inconspicuous fly and headed back toward the building.

Luo Fan searched a building for An Xiaoran while disguised as a fly, but found Yamato instead and later got swallowed by a frog-like Weird. The chapter left Luo Fan trapped inside the Weird, with An Xiaoran's location still unknown.

• Luo Fan became tangled in a spiderweb, changed into a gecko, and killed the spider before resuming his search as a fly.
• Luo Fan spotted Yamato and suspected he had hidden for three years to avoid changing history.
• Luo Fan searched the building but found no sign of An Xiaoran despite the Golden Weird Mirror's coordinates pointing there.
• A frog-like Weird noticed Luo Fan, caught him with its tongue, and swallowed him.

Luo Fan escaped after a toad-shaped Weird swallowed him, then disguised himself as the toad to investigate An Xiaoran’s whereabouts. While following a lead to collect Ghost Soul Fruits, he encountered a familiar figure who suddenly appeared and covered his mouth.

• Luo Fan transformed back to his original form inside the toad-shaped Weird, burst its body apart, and mimicked its appearance.
• Luo Fan convinced nearby Weirds he had seen no human, then learned that Lord Yamato had An Xiaoran captive, though the Weird cut off the location.
• Luo Fan decided to stay near Yamato to learn his plans, but a Skeleton Weird interrupted him with an order from Lord Spirit Eyes to collect Ghost Soul Fruits.
• The Skeleton Weird directed Luo Fan to an elementary school's sports field, and Luo Fan headed there while wondering where An Xiaoran was being held.
• A familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of Luo Fan and clamped a hand over his mouth.

Luo Fan ran into Lian Ziqiong in a Weird-inhabited city after she nearly killed him while mistaking him for a toad-type Weird. After demonstrating his Mimicry skill, he learned she had come to complete her Fifth-Tier Promotion Mission, and she asked why he was there.

• Lian Ziqiong teleported behind Luo Fan and tried to stab him, but he deactivated Mimicry and caught her wrist.
• Luo Fan brought Lian Ziqiong into an abandoned building and explained that Mimicry let him transform into beings he had seen and use their abilities.
• Luo Fan transformed into Lian Ziqiong and used her Darkwalking skill, stunning her with the proof that he could copy her powers.
• Lian Ziqiong said she had come to complete her Fifth-Tier Promotion Mission, and Luo Fan offered to help.
• Lian Ziqiong noticed Luo Fan was LV58 and asked why he had come to the city and transformed into a Weird.

Luo Fan explained to Lian Ziqiong that An Xiaoran had been captured by a powerful Weird inside the Seven Cities Territory, and that he was searching for her while disguised as a Weird. He revealed that the territory’s ruler was an Indescribable Weird and that he could remember it because Rule-Type Weirds’ Vision Sealing Power did not affect him, leaving Lian astonished by his strength.

• Luo Fan told Lian Ziqiong that he had come to rescue An Xiaoran, who had been captured by a Weird.
• Luo Fan explained that a powerful Weird ruled the Seven Cities Territory and that another powerful Weird had entered it to capture An Xiaoran.
• Lian Ziqiong learned that the territory’s apparent safety came from its humans being treated as the ruler’s prey, and she questioned why Luo Fan trusted that Weird.
• Luo Fan confirmed that the ruler was an Indescribable Weird and said he could remember it because Rule-Type Weirds’ Vision Sealing Power did not work on him.
• Lian Ziqiong was astonished by Luo Fan’s immunity and admitted she could not tell how powerful he had become.

Luo Fan failed to find An Xiaoran, and Lian Ziqiong joined the search before he returned to Lord Spirit Eyes with Ghost Soul Fruit. To avoid punishment, Luo Fan reported that a human had come to rescue An Xiaoran, and another Weird confirmed sensing a human aura.

• Lian Ziqiong offered to help Luo Fan search for An Xiaoran, and they agreed to investigate separately and contact each other if they found anything.
• Luo Fan transformed into a toad-shaped Weird, collected Ghost Soul Fruit from an abandoned elementary school, and returned to the building.
• Lord Spirit Eyes crushed the Ghost Soul Fruit and absorbed its weird qi, then confronted Luo Fan for taking so long to collect them.
• Luo Fan told Lord Spirit Eyes that a human had approached and was targeting the captive An Xiaoran.
• A nearby Weird backed up Luo Fan's report by saying it had sensed a human aura in the building, though it had not seen anyone.
