Chapter Summaries

Yang Yong spent the power of the Two-Yang God-Sealing Banner to unleash the Little Golden Flood Dragon Scissors against the ghost tide, but a powerful big-headed ghost swallowed the dragons. He detonated the weakened attack to clear the way for the convoy, then collapsed as the scissors were destroyed.

• Yang Yong recalled the Red-Clothed Female Ghost and the Love Letter Ghost, then poured all the Blood Moon Energy from the Two-Yang God-Sealing Banner into the cracked Little Golden Flood Dragon Scissors.
• The scissors summoned two flood dragons that tore through the ghosts ahead, and the convoy followed Yang Yong as they charged toward the boundary of the ghost tide.
• A big-headed ghost swallowed both flood dragons, and Yang Yong forced them to burst out of its head with most of their power depleted.
• Yang Yong ordered the dragons to explode, destroying the remaining ghosts without harming the convoy or nearby buildings.
• Yang Yong collapsed from exhaustion on the farm vehicle's roof, supported by the Red-Clothed Female Ghost and the Love Letter Ghost, while the Little Golden Flood Dragon Scissors were destroyed.

Yang Yong’s convoy escaped the hundred ghosts’ night parade after the Little Golden Flood Dragon Scissors self-destructed, and the Thousand-Hammer, Hundred-Refinement Furnace absorbed the scattered energy. Yang Yong collapsed and woke the next day in camp, where he learned Wang Ying had awakened and asked about the unconscious girl who knew Shamanism.

• Yang Yong ordered the convoy to flee as the Little Golden Flood Dragon Scissors self-destructed, then saw the Thousand-Hammer, Hundred-Refinement Furnace absorb the lingering energy.
• The convoy broke through the Eerie encirclement, and Wang Ying woke from her coma and climbed onto the roof to survey the area.
• Seeing Wang Ying awake, Yang Yong finally lost consciousness and slept until noon the next day.
• Yang Yong woke in a secluded grove, learned his bonded artifact’s destruction had badly injured him, and found the Red-Clothed Female Ghost and the Love Letter Ghost still unable to communicate.
• Mang Dabiao reported that the convoy had faced no further danger, and Yang Yong asked whether the girl who knew Shamanism was still unconscious.

Yang Yong learned that Shamanism could open all 365 bodily Apertures and decided to practice it, hoping to advance his cultivation. He used the Two-Yang God-Sealing Banner to draw energy from Mang Dabiao, then left it absorbing while he checked on the convoy and spoke with Wang Ying and the neighboring survivors.

• Mang Dabiao explained that Shamanism could open bodily Apertures, but said he lacked the energy to open Yang Yong's without risking his soul.
• Yang Yong decided to practice Shamanism and told Mang Dabiao to help him open his Apertures.
• Yang Yong used the Two-Yang God-Sealing Banner to draw sealed Blood Moon Energy and sinister yin power from Mang Dabiao, stabilizing Mang Dabiao's aura and loosening his seal.
• Yang Yong left the banner on Mang Dabiao to keep absorbing energy, then saw Zheng Xiaofeng recovering while eating.
• Yang Yong admired Wang Ying's Black Gold Bone Blade and learned that she had named it for its materials.
• A staff-wielding girl from the neighboring convoy called Yang Yong 'Uncle' and greeted him excitedly.

Yang Yong met the Yangcheng No. 2 Middle School Convoy and learned about its members and abilities while sharing his advice on surviving the Eerie apocalypse. The convoy’s members realized how little they knew about the dangers around them, leaving their future survival in question.

• Yang Yong introduced himself to the four newcomers, then realized the staff-wielding girl had been trying to get his attention.
• The girl introduced herself as Zhang Bihuang and explained that her Holy Light Mage Sequence was especially effective against sinister Eerie.
• Yang Yong learned that the group was the Yangcheng No. 2 Middle School Convoy and that Xiao Yuxia had awakened the mechanic Sequence.
• Yang Yong explained that a convoy needed a capable guide, such as a pathfinder or data analyst, to avoid dangers and choose safe routes.
• Zhang Bihuang and the other girls were shocked to realize their convoy had been fleeing dangers blindly and knew little about the apocalypse.

Yang Yong questioned the Yangcheng No. 2 Middle School Convoy about their Sequences and the Eerie they had encountered after escaping the school. Zhang Bihuang recounted the Cannibal Elevator and the Lamp-Under Ghost, and Yang Yong asked whether they had faced any others.

• Yang Yong learned that Zhang Wenyuan had the Hunter Sequence and Shang Kai had the Fire God Sequence, along with details about other Sequences in the convoy.
• Yang Yong asked why the convoy had no ordinary people, and Zhang Bihuang explained that an Eerie had trapped Yangcheng No. 2 Middle School and killed students in a deadly game.
• Yang Yong wondered whether the ordeal at the school had increased the chance of people awakening Sequence Transcendence.
• Zhang Bihuang said the survivors encountered a Cannibal Elevator that devoured classmates, then fled and lost more people as the group scattered.
• Zhang Bihuang described how a classmate spoke to the Lamp-Under Ghost, causing it to haunt the group until it killed that classmate.
• Yang Yong recalled that his own group had avoided triggering the Lamp-Under Ghost's rules, then asked Zhang Bihuang whether they had encountered any other Eerie.

Yang Yong and the four students exchanged accounts of deadly Eerie encounters, while Wang Ying decided the convoy would camp for the night to test the Black Gold Bone Blade’s power. Meanwhile, Cao Xianming remained trapped in the Tombstone Sea, an endless Eerie dimension, and searched for a way out.

• Xiao Yuxia and the other students recounted the Eerie they had encountered and the deaths that had reduced their group to four.
• Yang Yong described his encounter with the Two-Headed Great Snake, impressing Zhang Bihuang with his dramatic account.
• Wang Ying told Yang Yong that the convoy would camp in place so she could test how long and how far the Black Gold Bone Blade suppressed low-tier Eerie.
• Cao Xianming used his Data Analyst abilities to conclude that he was trapped in a real consciousness realm created by an unspeakable Eerie.
• Cao Xianming realized his Sequence power would not run out in the Tombstone Sea, but he had explored all four directions without finding an exit.

Cao Xianming discovered a possible escape route from the Tombstone Sea and concluded that Yang Yong was essential to it. At the Yangcheng No. 2 Middle School camp, the group remained divided over whether to stay with the Survival Convoy or leave, and Shang Kai announced he would go alone.

• Cao Xianming used his Data Model to identify the Nightmare Eerie as the cause of his predicament and calculated an Escape to Safety coordinate.
• Cao Xianming’s simulations showed that every likely escape route depended on Yang Yong, so he drove toward the coordinate.
• Shang Kai argued that the Yangcheng No. 2 Middle School group should leave the Survival Convoy camp, while Zhang Bihuang argued they should stay.
• Shang Kai accused Zhang Bihuang of wanting to stay because she liked a man in the convoy, and Xiao Yuxia and Zhang Wenyuan broke up their confrontation.
• Zhang Bihuang and Zhang Wenyuan voted to stay, while Xiao Yuxia lowered her hand under Shang Kai’s glare, leaving the vote tied.
• Shang Kai declared that he would leave alone.

Shang Kai’s reckless departure triggered a fight with Eerie, while Mang Dabiao sensed that countless Eerie had surrounded the camp. Yang Yong ordered the Survival Convoy to break out under Wang Ying’s lead, leaving Shang Kai and the three girls behind as the chapter ended.

• Shang Kai ignored Zhang Wenyuan’s pleas and rode off, then unleashed his Fire God Sequence ability when Eerie attacked him.
• Zhang Bihuang, Zhang Wenyuan, and Xiao Yuxia set out to follow Shang Kai, while Wang Ying and Yang Yong learned from Mang Dabiao that Eerie had surrounded the camp.
• Yang Yong ordered the Survival Convoy to prepare for a fight to the death, and Wang Ying led its vehicles in a breakout away from the Yangcheng No. 2 Middle School Convoy.
• Yang Yong watched Wang Ying wield the Black Gold Bone Blade and wondered whether its influence had changed her into a cold, merciless fighter.
• Shang Kai blasted open a gap against the Eerie and saw the Survival Convoy fleeing in the opposite direction.

Zhang Wenyuan, Zhang Bihuang, Xiao Yuxia, and Shang Kai fought through an Eerie horde and turned back to pursue the Survival Convoy's breakout route. They caught sight of the convoy and saw Wang Ying leading its escape with the Black Gold Bone Blade, which drove most low-tier Eerie away.

• Shang Kai taunted Zhang Bihuang, but Zhang Wenyuan spotted an enormous Eerie tide approaching and ordered everyone to follow the Survival Convoy.
• Xiao Yuxia spun the modified SUV around while Zhang Bihuang strengthened Shang Kai with Holy Light and Zhang Wenyuan covered him with arrows.
• Shang Kai drove his flaming motorcycle through the Eerie, then leaped onto the SUV just before his motorcycle exploded.
• Xiao Yuxia drove toward the Survival Convoy as Zhang Wenyuan guided her around dense Eerie clusters and toward gaps in the horde.
• Zhang Wenyuan saw Wang Ying leading the convoy with the Black Gold Bone Blade, whose aura sent most low-tier Eerie fleeing.

Wang Ying and Yang Yong led the convoy through an Eerie blockade, with Yang Yong’s ghost servants easing the strain on Wang Ying as the vehicles escaped. At dawn, they reached a ruined village beneath a mountain and spotted an ancient temple with cooking smoke rising from it.

• Zhang Wenyuan watched Wang Ying cut through the Eerie and concluded that she was even stronger than Yang Yong.
• Zhang Wenyuan guided Xiao Yuxia’s off-road vehicle through gaps in the Eerie, and it caught up with the Survival Convoy.
• Yang Yong summoned the Red-Clothed Female Ghost and the Love Letter Ghost to guard Wang Ying’s vehicle and clear the road.
• The convoy broke out of the Eerie encirclement and drove through the night until dawn.
• The convoy stopped at a ruined village beneath a mountain, where Wang Qian spotted an ancient temple with cooking smoke rising from it.
• Wang Ying asked Yang Yong whether they should investigate the temple, and he studied it with a wary frown.

Yang Yong’s convoy encountered a temple they could neither approach nor sense until they decided to turn back, when they suddenly appeared at its gate. An elderly Taoist priest invited them to rest, then left after they stayed silent, and Mang Dabiao sensed that the priest was a living person who seemed not to be from this world.

• Yang Yong ordered Mang Dabiao to sense the temple, but Mang Dabiao detected no presence as the convoy climbed the mountain and failed to get closer.
• Yang Yong ordered the convoy to turn around, and they suddenly appeared in the clearing before the temple.
• Mang Dabiao touched the temple wall and still sensed no living presence, Eerie, or energy.
• Yang Yong summoned the Red-Clothed Female Ghost and the Love Letter Ghost as the temple gates opened and an elderly Taoist priest emerged.
• The old priest invited the group to rest, then walked away when no one answered.
• Yang Yong asked Mang Dabiao if the priest was an Eerie, and Mang Dabiao said he sensed righteous Daoist energy and believed the priest was a living person who seemed not to be from this world.

Yang Yong’s convoy rested at a Taoist temple after Mang Dabiao said its old priest was safe, but the priest expelled an Eerie spirit from Huang Xiaojuan and revealed that a fox immortal had been possessing her. Huang Xiaojuan thanked the convoy and said her immortal wanted to exchange something with Mang Dabiao, leaving Yang Yong wondering what the fox immortal wanted.

• Yang Yong, Wang Ying, and Zheng Xiaofeng decided to rest at the temple overnight after Mang Dabiao assured them the old Taoist priest meant no harm.
• The convoy set up camp, tended to Cao Xianming, and helped the dazed Shamanism girl off the bus.
• The old Taoist priest returned and used a golden talisman to expel the Eerie spirit from the girl.
• The girl briefly became Hu Xian'er, who thanked the priest for saving her, before the girl regained her usual voice and memory.
• Huang Xiaojuan thanked Yang Yong, Wang Ying, and Zheng Xiaofeng for saving her and said her immortal wanted to exchange something with Mang Dabiao.

The Fox Immortal revealed that Cao Xianming had been trapped in an endless dream by a powerful Eerie and explained how a holy light supernatural could guide him back. Yang Yong, Wang Ying, and Zheng Xiaofeng divided up the tasks needed to save him, while Yang Yong confirmed the danger with Mang Dabiao.

• Huang Xiaojuan asked Mang Dabiao to remove the blood-red sinister energy afflicting her Fox Immortal Master in exchange for information about Cao Xianming.
• The Fox Immortal revealed that an unknown Eerie had trapped Cao Xianming in repeating dreams and said a holy light supernatural from the Yangcheng No. 2 Middle School Convoy could guide him back.
• Yang Yong, Wang Ying, and Zheng Xiaofeng agreed to save Cao Xianming, with Wang Ying going to negotiate for help and Zheng Xiaofeng guarding him.
• Yang Yong hauled Mang Dabiao into an SUV and questioned him about why he had not detected Cao Xianming's condition.
• Mang Dabiao explained that he specialized in combat and confirmed that the Fox Immortal's account of the dream Eerie and rescue method was likely true.

Yang Yong and Wang Ying brought Zhang Bihuang to help rescue Cao Xianming, whose soul was trapped in an Eerie’s dream. Hu Xian’er arranged a Dreamscape Array and explained that Zhang Bihuang must guide Cao Xianming’s soul with holy light, but then admitted she lacked the power to sustain the array and looked to Yang Yong for help.

• Yang Yong decided that saving Cao Xianming was the team’s only chance to survive, despite the risks of scavenging.
• Wang Ying persuaded Zhang Bihuang to come by revealing that Yang Yong had forged her blade into a Curio.
• Yang Yong, Wang Ying, and Zhang Bihuang went to Cao Xianming’s tent, where Hu Xian’er possessed Huang Xiaojuan and explained the rescue plan.
• Hu Xian’er instructed Zhang Bihuang to maintain a gentle ray of holy light between Cao Xianming’s brows to guide his soul back from the dream.
• Hu Xian’er spent hours recreating a Dreamscape Array, then said she lacked the magical power to sustain it and turned to Yang Yong.

Hu Xian'er, Mang Dabiao, and Zhang Bihuang combined their powers to guide Cao Xianming out of the Tombstone Sea nightmare. As collapsing dream worlds and a terrifying gaze threatened to destroy him, Cao Xianming clung to the escape calculations that told him he would survive.

• Yang Yong gave Mang Dabiao the Two-Yang God-Sealing Banner, allowing him to purify his sealed immortal power and help sustain the rescue formation.
• Hu Xian'er, Mang Dabiao, and Zhang Bihuang began the rescue, combining Hu Xian'er's control, Mang Dabiao's power, and Zhang Bihuang's holy light.
• Cao Xianming saw the holy-light pillar mark his escape coordinates in the Tombstone Sea and drove toward it as dead souls closed in around him.
• After Cao Xianming reached the light, a succession of dream worlds collapsed around him, and a frigid, overpowering gaze threatened to destroy his soul.
• Cao Xianming remembered that he had calculated every risk tens of thousands of times and roared that the data did not lie.

Cao Xianming survived the nightmare world after a mysterious yellow talisman struck down the unknown Eerie and returned him to reality. The talisman then flew back toward Yang Yong, but an enormous ancient hand intercepted it.

• As the unknown Eerie threatened Cao Xianming, a yellow talisman descended into the nightmare world, made the Eerie scream in pain, and sent Cao Xianming back to reality.
• Cao Xianming woke in the tent, confirmed he was alive, and saw everyone staring at Yang Yong.
• During the formation, Zhang Bihuang struggled to maintain the Holy Light while Mang Dabiao used the Two-Yang God-Sealing Banner to repel an external force.
• A yellow talisman emerged from Yang Yong, entered the Holy Light, and flew into Cao Xianming's brow; Hu Xian'er glimpsed the words “God-Slaying” on it.
• Yang Yong noticed Cao Xianming had awakened, and Wang Ying, Zheng Xiaofeng, Hu Xian'er, Mang Dabiao, and Zhang Bihuang reacted with relief and exhaustion.
• A yellow light flew from Cao Xianming toward Yang Yong, but a large ancient-looking hand appeared and seized it.

After the old Taoist escaped the heavenly net, Yang Yong lost the yellow talisman but watched its ashes get absorbed by the Thousand-Hammer, Hundred-Refinement Furnace. Cao Xianming then fed the furnace the mysterious sand from Zou Wei’s trade, causing it to begin forging again and revealing that Cao had calculated how Yang Yong could use it.

• The old Taoist thanked Yang Yong, then escaped the shrinking Taoist Temple through a gap in a heavenly net opened by his yellow talisman, while two more figures followed him out.
• Yang Yong realized Mang Dabiao had recognized the old Taoist, mourned the loss of his talisman, and saw the furnace briefly absorb the talisman’s ashes without starting a new Curio.
• Cao Xianming summoned Xiao Ma and retrieved the box of mysterious sand acquired from Zou Wei during the encounter with the Never-Ending Steam Train.
• Cao Xianming scattered the sand over Yang Yong, and the furnace reappeared, swallowed every grain, and began ringing as it started to forge.
• Yang Yong suspected Cao Xianming had worked out the furnace’s activation conditions, and Cao admitted he had recalculated which traded items Yang Yong could refine and use.

Cao Xianming woke up and learned that the Survival Convoy was nearly out of food, then resumed assessing its people and supplies. Yang Yong discovered Wang Ying had promised Zhang Bihuang that he would craft her a Curio, so he agreed to do it if she supplied the materials.

• Yang Yong wondered whether the Void Crystal was meant for him, while Zhang Bihuang stared at him after Wang Ying's promise that he would craft her a Curio.
• Cao Xianming greeted Lao Zhang after waking, then learned the convoy had almost no food left and would soon need to risk a supply run.
• Cao Xianming surveyed the convoy and learned that Yangcheng No. 2 Middle School's group included three women and one man who were Sequence Transcendents, including a Mechanic.
• Cao Xianming told Yang Yong that Wang Ying had offered Zhang Bihuang a Curio crafted by Yang Yong in exchange for her help.
• Yang Yong asked Zhang Bihuang what Wang Ying had promised and agreed to craft her a Curio if she provided the materials, waiving his labor fee.

Yang Yong finished forging and claimed the Heavenly Dragon Slash, a Curio made from 365 flying blades that could form wings, attack enemies, and defend him. He demonstrated its power to the convoy, while Cao Xianming’s Data Model analyzed the weapon.

• Zhang Bihuang realized Yang Yong’s creations were valuable but worried her convoy lacked materials to offer him.
• Yang Yong’s Thousand-Hammer, Hundred-Refinement Furnace finished forging the Heavenly Dragon Slash, and he bound the Curio to himself with his blood essence.
• Yang Yong used the Heavenly Dragon Slash to tear through a stretch of woods, then formed a rotating defensive barrier around himself.
• Wang Ying admired the weapon, Zheng Xiaofeng asked Yang Yong to forge him a shield, and Yang Yong quoted two hundred jin of rice.
• Mang Dabiao flattered Yang Yong while the convoy members admired the Curio, and Cao Xianming’s Data Model analyzed its structure.

Cao Xianming calculated that the convoy would be safe if it stayed within the Taoist Temple’s lingering protection, but that protection would fade within two days. With food running out and the route out still unknown, he established a task-for-food system while Yang Yong began seeking unusual materials.

• Cao Xianming ordered the convoy to stay inside a marked circle for the night, calculating that leaving it would mean near-certain death from Eerie attacks.
• The hungry survivors grew restless, and a woman’s attempt to approach Shang Kai ended in a public argument.
• The convoy spent the night safely, but Lao Zhang warned Cao Xianming that people would soon starve without more supplies.
• Cao Xianming rejected giving food away and required ordinary people to complete posted tasks in exchange for it.
• Yang Yong changed his tasks from vehicle work to searching for unusual plants, ores, bones, and other strange materials.
