• Lin Yi negotiated a week to collect the resources, and Lin Caihuan carried her suitcase upstairs as Jiang Hanxue and Liu Yuxi came to chat with her.

Lin Yi cultivated the spirit materials Lin Caihuan needed and obtained a Talent Stone from her in return. He also learned about the Gap World’s martial arts and considered forging his own path to Martial Dao.

• Lin Yi asked Ji Fengyu about the rare Seven-colored Stones and learned that the Heavenly Dawn Martial Kingdom had one in its ancestral shrine, while the Heavenly Saint Martial Kingdom had acquired several.

• Lin Yi cooked Mutton Hot Pot for Tian Xin, who hoped to grow stronger alongside him, while he explained that marriage was not part of his plans.
• Tian Xin gave Lin Yi a Mine Tunnel Blueprint showing the Source Stone Mine Caves, and Lin Yi left her food and water before logging off.

Lin Yi continued deeper into the West Mountain Southern Domain while a spatial passage beneath the Lin River ruptured and released a swarm of Monsters. With Lin Yi unreachable in the Apocalypse World, the gathered defenders faced the crisis without the expert they had hoped would lead them.

• Lin Yi failed to find the remaining two-star Monster King on Canghe Mountain, abandoned the search, and followed his map into a primeval forest.
• An earthquake struck Linhe City, and a Demigod-level Monster's aura spread from beneath the Lin River as a giant hand tore open the spatial passage.
• Black fish Monsters poured through the passage, prompting Zhao Shuang to alert headquarters and Ji Fengyu to contact Ji Qiushui for help.
• Jingcheng Headquarters sent nearby forces to Linhe City, where Zhang Baichuan reported that the power grid had failed and the surveillance equipment was destroyed.
• The Captains learned that Lin Yi was still in the Apocalypse World and could not be contacted, leaving them gravely concerned as Monsters gathered near the passage.

Ji Fengyu explored the Space Passage beneath the Lin River with his Martial Spirit and discovered a Demigod Monster on the other side, while soldiers and martial artists fought off the Four-clawed Demon Fish.

• Ji Fengyu's Martial Spirit collapsed after he saw an eye beyond the Space Passage, and he called his junior sister to report a Demigod Monster on the other side.
• Elder Chen and most of the country's martial artist experts gathered at the Linhe City command center, where Xue Renshuang questioned why Yu Huachen and Lin Yi had not arrived.

The Newborn leaders organized defenses along the Lin River as bombings revealed that surviving Four-clawed Demon Fish could mutate by eating their dead, while Ji Fengyu warned that underwater explosives might damage the Space Passage. Lin Caihuan, Jiang Hanxue, and Liu Yuxi joined Xue Renshuang’s defense area, and Lin Yi felt violent tremors from a mountain ridge in the West Mountain Southern Domain.

• Xue Shuang argued with Zhu Wen about Lin Yi and another powerful Newborn being absent, until Niu Jianjun assigned Captains to defend twelve areas of the Lin River.
• Ji Fengyu explained that a Sealing Stone could close a Space Passage, though his Gap World had none remaining, and Elder Chen ordered a drawing made to help locate one.
• Bombers killed many Four-clawed Demon Fish, but underwater surveillance showed the survivors eating corpses and growing stronger, so Elder Chen ordered the Space Passage protected and the defenses rearranged.
• Lin Caihuan, Jiang Hanxue, and Liu Yuxi asked to help; Niu Jianjun let Jiang Hanxue stay and brought all three to Xue Renshuang’s defense area, where he told Xue to protect them.
• Lin Yi, after hunting monsters in the West Mountain Southern Domain, prepared to log off when massive tremors came from a nearby mountain ridge.

Lin Yi discovered a Bronze Gate and encountered Elder Qian and a group of powerful warriors from beyond the West Mountain Southern Domain, who planned to open it using Demon King blood and Lin Yi’s Fuzhu legacy. As they prepared to activate the gate, Lin Yi suspected they intended to kill him, while Qian Wu secretly sought to claim him as a servant.
