Chapter Summaries

Yang Yong and the convoy escaped the paper figures’ first attack, but the Paper Army drove them toward a dangerous Ancient House. They entered with their supplies, only to find a lavish banquet that the ordinary survivors rushed toward despite the Transcendents’ alarm.

• Shang Kai empowered Yang Yong’s throwing knives with fire, helping him and Wang Ying destroy five Eerie and allowing the convoy to break through.
• Yang Yong harassed pursuing Paper Figure Cavalry while Cao Xianming calculated that every escape route except the road ahead led to certain death.
• The convoy reached the Ancient House, which Cao Xianming identified as a Rule Land, and entered to escape the Paper Army.
• Yang Yong recognized Ou Lenzhang among the pursuers and accused him of betraying the convoy, but Ou Lenzhang only smiled silently.
• Inside the Ancient House, the survivors found a banquet spread across a vast table, and the hungry ordinary people prepared to rush toward the food.

Lao Zhang warned the Survival Convoy that eating the Ancient House’s food shortened a person’s life, while Cao Xianming’s ability failed as the group searched the vast, eerie building. After seven days trapped inside, the convoy enforced a ban on the food, but the Ancient House’s food began attacking them.

• Lao Zhang warned the convoy that one bite of the Ancient House’s food cost a year of life and one meal cost ten years, then sent the Transcendents to explore while ordinary people stayed in a safe area.
• Yang Yong, Wang Ying, Zheng Xiaofeng, and the others searched the accessible rooms and found only food and drink, while Cao Xianming said his ability was no longer working.
• A faint laugh and sigh came from deeper inside the Ancient House, and one person wandered into it in a daze before the others pulled them back, cold and pale.
• The convoy discovered that destroyed objects reset overnight, and Cao Xianming admitted that he could find no way out; according to Ou Lenzhang, the exit would appear after a month, when the food’s life-stealing effects would be reckoned.
• Rumors that Cao Xianming’s ability had weakened caused panic and disorder, but the convoy eventually stabilized and strictly avoided the food while surviving on its own supplies for seven days.
• After the convoy endured seven days inside the Ancient House, its food began launching an offensive of its own.

As the Ancient House’s food became increasingly irresistible and its sinister rules intensified, Cao Xianming deduced that the convoy had to consume enough food to trigger a settlement and open the exit. With no way to destroy the food and no one willing to force ordinary people to sacrifice their lifespans, Yang Yong finally offered, “Let me.”

• After several people ate the food, the Ancient House’s rules intensified, and the food’s allure became nearly impossible to resist.
• Cao Xianming spent three days calculating the rules and concluded that the exit depended on how much of the food the convoy consumed, not on waiting a month.
• The convoy realized that destroying or discarding the food did not count as consuming it, leaving them to consider sacrificing people’s lifespans by eating it.
• The Transcendents could not bring themselves to force the ordinary people to eat, and the convoy fell into silence.
• Yang Yong stood up and said, “Let me,” breaking the silence without explaining what he intended to do.

Yang Yong used the Two-Yang God-Sealing Banner to consume the Ancient House’s rule-bound food, triggering the house to reset whenever it was emptied. When the banner reached its limit without advancing, the Thousand-Hammer, Hundred-Refinement Furnace stirred, and Yang Yong realized the house could supply the energy it needed.

• Yang Yong summoned the Red-Clothed Female Ghost and the White-Clothed Love Letter Ghost and used his banner to devour a roast lamb and its platter.
• Yang Yong had the ghosts strip the Ancient House of its food, furniture, and racks, and the banner consumed them as eerie energy.
• The Ancient House immediately reset after being emptied, revealing that complete consumption triggered its hidden rule.
• Yang Yong continued feeding the banner until it reached its limit without advancing because it lacked a main soul.
• The Thousand-Hammer, Hundred-Refinement Furnace began forging urgently, and Yang Yong recognized the Ancient House’s energy as a chance to fuel it.

Yang Yong and the Survival Convoy helped awaken a powerful Eerie while trying to escape the Ancient House. As the house’s doors opened and black-robed figures fed souls into a blood-red coffin, Cao Xianming rallied everyone to stop the entity from emerging.

• Yang Yong fueled the Two-Yang God-Sealing Banner with Eerie energy, accelerating the Thousand-Hammer, Hundred-Refinement Furnace’s forging for three days.
• The Ancient House shook and opened its sealed rooms, revealing the aged captives, including the Doomsday Convoy’s Transcendents and the remains of its ordinary members.
• The six rescued Doomsday Convoy members reunited with their captain, Pang Jinbao, who recognized that they had been spared the house’s lifespan-draining food.
• Cao Xianming introduced himself as captain of the Survival Convoy and questioned Pang Jinbao, who warned that a tremendously powerful Eerie was awakening inside the house.
• Black-robed figures began harvesting souls and sacrificing them into a blood-red coffin, strengthening the entity within.
• Cao Xianming ordered everyone to prevent the entity from emerging until the main doors opened, while Yang Yong and his ghosts prepared to fight.

As the Ancient House’s gate slowly opened and the Eerie attacked, the four convoys prepared to fight for their lives. Wang Ying discovered that the Eerie were far weaker without paper figures and cut through their ranks, leaving the other Transcendents stunned.

• Two rooms opened, releasing the Thorny Rose Convoy led by Rose and the Prisoner's Dilemma Convoy led by Dai Gencheng.
• Cao Xianming told Rose and Dai Gencheng how the Ancient House had drained the convoys’ lifespans, and they realized the Survival Convoy’s actions had spared them the same fate.
• When the Eerie finished harvesting the dead and turned on the survivors, Cao Xianming assigned the Transcendents to fight and ordered ordinary people to hide until the gate opened.
• Yang Yong, Wang Ying, Zheng Xiaofeng, and the other convoys’ Transcendents readied their powers as the Eerie charged the Survival Convoy.
• Wang Ying killed the first attacking Eerie with one slash and then cut down the front ranks, astonishing the other Transcendents.

Wang Ying and the other Transcendents fought waves of black-robed Eerie inside the Ancient House while they waited for its entrance to open. When hundreds more Eerie poured out, Yang Yong urged everyone to fight for their lives as they struggled to hold the line.

• Wang Ying used the Black Gold Bone Blade to intercept eight Eerie, while Yang Yong, Zheng Xiaofeng, and Transcendents from other convoys fought the rest.
• A black-robed Eerie broke through the defenders and charged the ordinary people, so Hu Xian'er possessed Huang Xiaojuan and swung Mang Dabiao at it.
• The Ancient House's entrance widened to about ten centimeters, but hundreds of black-robed Eerie surged out from within.
• Yang Yong warned the other convoys that the door was about to open and urged them to fight with all their strength.
• The Transcendents battled the seemingly endless Eerie as Yang Yong's Thousand-Hammer, Hundred-Refinement Furnace neared completion and the entrance continued to open.

Yang Yong and the others fought to escape the Ancient House as the coffin-bound Eerie blocked their exit and attacked them. Most of the group made it through the opening, but Yang Yong and the badly injured Wang Ying remained inside, surrounded by black-robed Eerie.

• Yang Yong drew Mang Dabiao’s sealed Origin Blood into the Thousand-Hammer, Hundred-Refinement Furnace to speed its forging while the ancient door opened and the coffin began to stir.
• The coffin hurtled into the doorway and blocked the exit; Yang Yong ordered the Red-Clothed Female Ghost to kill a despairing man, restoring the others’ resolve.
• Yang Yong’s attacks failed to move the coffin, which struck Wang Ying into a wall before chasing her and Yang Yong through the Ancient House.
• When the coffin moved away from the doorway, Cao Xianming urged the group to escape, and Zheng Xiaofeng and the others rushed past the Paper Army outside.
• Yang Yong saw that more than half the group had escaped, but the black-robed Eerie were closing in on him and Wang Ying, who was severely injured.

Yang Yong tricked the Black Coffin into being swallowed by the Thousand-Hammer, Hundred-Refinement Furnace and escaped the Ancient House with Wang Ying and the Light-Sword Girl. The convoy then found five Paper Craftsman Sequence Transcendents blocking every route, and Yang Yong prepared for another fight.

• Yang Yong recalled that the Thousand-Hammer, Hundred-Refinement Furnace could refine Eerie and learned it could swallow the Black Coffin.
• Yang Yong lured the Black Coffin into the furnace, then escaped through the Ancient House doors as they began to close.
• Yang Yong found ordinary people fighting the Paper Army while Zheng Xiaofeng held the front, and his throwing knives cleared a route through the paper figures.
• Yang Yong, Wang Ying, and the Light-Sword Girl reached the vehicles, and Mang Dabiao drove the Off-Road Vehicle away from the Ancient House.
• Five Paper Craftsman Sequence Transcendents and their summoned Paper Beasts blocked the convoy, and Yang Yong prepared to fight through them.

Wang Ying used the Black Gold Bone Blade’s spirit to strike the Eerie souls inside the Paper beasts, helping the convoy defeat the Paper Effigy Dragon blocking the road. The Paper Craftsman then summoned ten more dragons, but an unseen arrow flew toward him as he prepared to bring them to life.

• Wang Ying and Yang Yong led the convoy’s attack on the Paper Army, but Yang Yong’s blades could not pierce the Paper Effigy Dragon’s defenses.
• Wang Ying beheaded the paper bull and watched the Black Gold Bone Blade’s spirit devour the Eerie inside it.
• Wang Ying discovered the blade spirit could pass through the Paper Effigy Dragon’s shell and attack the Eerie within, then pinned the beast down with rapid strikes.
• Yang Yong’s flying blades cut the weakened Paper Effigy Dragon into scraps, and the blade spirit devoured its Eerie soul.
• The Paper Craftsman summoned ten more Paper Effigy Dragons and raised his blood-red brush to dot their eyes, but an arrow shot toward him.

Yang Yong used the newly forged Nine Nether Yuanchen White Bone Ring to destroy the Paper Effigy Dragons and kill the Paper Craftsmen, then was pulled into a void where a pair of eyes tried to make him their servant. His Thousand-Hammer, Hundred-Refinement Furnace repelled most of the invading force, and the White Bone Ring attacked the eyes as the chapter ended.

• Zhang Wenyuan shot and fatally wounded an elderly Paper Craftsman, but another Paper Craftsman appeared and sent thirty Paper Effigy Dragons after the convoys.
• Cao Xianming said Yang Yong had over a ninety-eight percent chance of breaking the deadlock, so Yang Yong fed his Curios and energy into the Thousand-Hammer, Hundred-Refinement Furnace.
• Wang Ying destroyed three Paper Effigy Dragons, letting Yang Yong gather their Eerie power and forge the Nine Nether Yuanchen White Bone Ring.
• Yang Yong used the White Bone Ring to devour the Paper Effigy Dragons and kill five Paper Craftsmen from Ou Family Village.
• Yang Yong found himself in a void before a pair of eyes that ordered him to become their servant, but his furnace burned away one invading force and drove another into a mark on his left hand.
• The Nine Nether Yuanchen White Bone Ring entered the void and charged at the left eye.

Yang Yong and the convoys escaped a spatial exchange that replaced the battlefield with an enormous mountain, then joined forces and learned where Sequence Injections could be found. After trading for a dangerous mirror, Yang Yong agreed to forge it only if Cao Xianming helped him obtain an injection.

• Yang Yong injured the terrifying entity with the Nine Nether Yuanchen White Bone Ring, but it escaped as Cao Xianming warned the others to flee.
• Ou Lenzhang led more than two thousand paper effigies away from the Survival Convoy and declared that they were now the Paper Effigy Convoy.
• After the convoys fled for a day and night, a fog swallowed the battlefield and an enormous mountain appeared; Rose explained that an Astrologer Sequence ability had exchanged the area with another world.
• The Doomsday, Survival, Thorny Rose, Prisoner's Dilemma, and Yangcheng No. 2 Middle School Convoys joined forces, traveled safely for three days, and learned the whereabouts of Sequence Injections.
• Yang Yong decided he needed a Sequence Injection to survive, while Cao Xianming traded fifty jin of rice with Rose for a dangerous Curio Mirror.
• Yang Yong agreed to forge the mirror only in an equal exchange and demanded that Cao Xianming help him get a Sequence Injection.

After the convoy captains gathered to decide whether to continue traveling together, Yang Yong examined the dangerous Nine Nether Yuanchen White Bone Ring and tested its storage space. Zhang Bihuang approached him and asked whether the captains had reached a decision.

• The Prisoner's Dilemma Convoy traded a pair of silver bracelets and explained that its members had escaped a prison overrun by the Eerie.
• Three days later, the captains of four convoys gathered to decide whether to stay together or split up.
• Yang Yong discovered that removing the Nine Nether Yuanchen White Bone Ring would likely kill him, though its side effects did not apply to the master of the Thousand-Hammer, Hundred-Refinement Furnace.
• Yang Yong tested the ring's spatial ability and found it could store up to five hundred kilograms of inanimate objects.
• Zhang Bihuang approached Yang Yong by the stream, and he asked whether the captains had reached a decision.

Yang Yong reforged Zhang Bihuang’s Holy Light Staff and shared a tender farewell with her before returning to ask Mang Dabiao to open his apertures. Mang Dabiao was expelled from Yang Yong’s body by the Thousand-Hammer, Hundred-Refinement Furnace on his first attempt, but tried to possess him again, leaving Yang Yong unable to control his body.

• Zhang Bihuang told Yang Yong that the Yangcheng No. 2 Middle School Convoy had taken in the Doomsday Convoy, leaving four convoys.
• Yang Yong reforged Zhang Bihuang’s Holy Light Staff, adding increased damage against Eerie, and gave it back to her.
• Zhang Bihuang kissed Yang Yong on the cheek and hurried back to the convoy, while Yang Yong returned to his Off-Road Vehicle.
• Yang Yong confronted Mang Dabiao about opening his apertures, but Mang Dabiao coughed blood after the Thousand-Hammer, Hundred-Refinement Furnace drove him out of Yang Yong’s body.
• Yang Yong urged Mang Dabiao to try again, and Mang Dabiao possessed him, leaving Yang Yong conscious but unable to control his body.

After Yang Yong opened his Eye Aperture, Cao Xianming rallied the Survival Convoy to ambush the Wild Wolf Gang and seize its Sequence Injection. Yang Yong forged Cao Xianming a support device, but it emerged as an iPad rather than a mirror.

• Hu Xian'er told Yang Yong that his Eye Aperture had opened and might have awakened a unique ability.
• The Prisoner Convoy, Thorny Rose Convoy, and Yangcheng No. 2 Middle School Convoy departed, leaving the Survival Convoy alone.
• Cao Xianming proposed ambushing the Wild Wolf Gang to take its Sequence Injection, and Wang Ying and Zheng Xiaofeng agreed.
• Cao Xianming paid Yang Yong to forge a support mirror, and Yang Yong swallowed it into his furnace for forging.
• Yang Yong kept watch over Huang Xiaojuan as she drove, while Mang Dabiao recovered from his vitality drain.
• Yang Yong finished the forging and discovered that the mirror had become an iPad.

Cao Xianming used the story-loving iPad to uncover the Wild Wolf Gang’s abilities and prepare the Survival Convoy for an ambush. He revealed that the gang’s true power was a mixed-ancestry Vampire Sequence Transcendent who fed on human blood.

• Yang Yong finished forging the story-loving iPad, and Cao Xianming immediately took it from him.
• Cao Xianming told the iPad a melodramatic romance story and watched footage of the Wild Wolf Gang’s mutant wolves massacring a convoy.
• Cao Xianming stayed up telling the iPad stories to gather information, prompting rumors that a mysterious woman had spent the night with him.
• Cao Xianming showed the Sequence Transcendents footage of Wild Wolf using a Curio to locate people and his second-in-command controlling mutant wolves.
• Cao Xianming revealed footage of a black-robed figure with bat wings and identified him as the Wild Wolf Gang’s mixed-ancestry Vampire Sequence master, who survived on human blood.

Cao Xianming discovered that the Wild Wolf Gang and the Rising Sun Transport Convoy were heading toward a forbidden zone near Mo Family Village, but Yang Yong chose to take a shortcut and intercept them. As the Survival Convoy set out, the Rising Sun Transport Convoy’s people realized they were being followed.

• Cao Xianming learned that the Wild Wolf Gang was pursuing the Rising Sun Transport Convoy toward the deadly forbidden zone near Mo Family Village.
• Cao Xianming warned Yang Yong and the others that the danger there felt even worse than the Two-Headed Great Snake, though he did not know what caused it.
• Yang Yong chose to take a shortcut to intercept both convoys, and the Survival Convoy immediately changed course.
• Cao Xianming led the Survival Convoy down a narrow mountain road where he expected the Eerie threat to be manageable.
• The chapter introduced Zheng Chunlin, the Rising Sun Transport Convoy’s Beastman Tiger Sequence captain, and revealed that someone in his convoy had realized they were being watched.

Yang Yong transformed the Survival Convoy’s school bus into an apocalyptic war machine and led it through the Eerie-infested mountain road. The convoy arrived as the Wild Wolf Gang attacked the Rising Sun Transport Convoy, and Yang Yong charged in to claim the Sequence Injection.

• Yang Yong swallowed the school bus into his Black Hole and used his artifact-refining ability to upgrade it with four-wheel drive, enormous tires, and a breaching ram.
• The Survival Convoy fought through three waves of Eerie, with Wang Ying, Zheng Xiaofeng, and Yang Yong leading the attacks.
• Cao Xianming identified the Wild Wolf Gang attacking the Rising Sun Transport Convoy, where giant wolves killed drivers and Captain Zheng fought to defend the vehicles.
• Yang Yong drove the upgraded bus into the battlefield as Wang Ying and Zheng Xiaofeng prepared to attack, catching the Wild Wolf Gang by surprise.
• Yang Yong declared that he would take the Sequence Injection and charged toward the surrounded convoy.

Yang Yong’s Survival Convoy attacked the Wild Wolf Gang while it was surrounding the Rising Sun Transport Convoy, giving Zheng Chunlin’s group a chance to fight back. Yang Yong smashed through the bandits’ formation and turned his blades on Wild Wolf and the mutated dire wolves, while the second Combat Sequence Transcendent remained a threat.

• A sentry spotted the Survival Convoy approaching, and Zheng Chunlin seized the distraction to break through the Wild Wolf Gang’s encirclement and rally the Rising Sun Transport members.
• Yang Yong’s modified bus crashed into the Wild Wolf Gang’s formation, destroying an off-road vehicle and opening a gap around the Rising Sun Transport Convoy.
• Wild Wolf used two gang members as human shields and fled toward the Beast Taming Sequence Transcendent, but Yang Yong sent throwing knives after him.
• The Beast Taming Sequence Transcendent redirected his mutated dire wolves toward Yang Yong, who unleashed his throwing knives and sliced apart the lead wolf.
• Yang Yong sent knives after the remaining wolves and formed a defensive ring around himself, mindful that the Wild Wolf Gang had another Combat Sequence Transcendent.

Wang Ying killed the hidden Vampire Sequence user, while Yang Yong wiped out the beast tamer and his Mutated Dire Wolves. With the Wild Wolf Gang defeated, Yang Yong confronted Wild Wolf and demanded to know whether he had the Sequence Injection.

• The Vampire Sequence user attacked the convoy with a swarm of bats, but Wang Ying drove them back and forced him to reveal himself.
• The vampire drained a Wild Wolf Gang member, then Wang Ying cut off his claws and killed him with the Black Gold Bone Blade.
• Yang Yong killed the Mutated Dire Wolves with throwing blades and finished off their beast tamer.
• Yang Yong searched the beast tamer's corpse but found only foul-smelling supplies for exotic beasts.
• Yang Yong killed Wild Wolf's two guards, and Wild Wolf begged for his life as Yang Yong asked whether he had the Sequence Injection.
