Qin Ze welcomed Second Sister and Yan Miao to the Forest Clan and told them he was forming the Abyss Civilization Alliance to fight the Strange Gods. He appointed Yan Miao to lead the still-unassembled Second Army and Second Sister to oversee the Forest Clan in his absence, while Second Sister warned that Strange Gods were not easy to defeat.

• Qin Ze welcomed Second Sister and Yan Miao to the Forest Clan's Outpost City and showed them the bustling settlement.
• Qin Ze explained that he was forming the Abyss Civilization Alliance and a Myriad Races Allied Army to fight the reviving Strange Gods.

• Yan Miao eagerly accepted responsibility for assembling the Second Army, while Qin Ze declared himself Alliance leader and grand marshal.
• Second Sister warned Qin Ze that Strange Gods were not easy to deal with.

Qin Ze recruited Second Sister and Yan Miao into the Myriad Races Allied Army after showing them that a living Star God supported the alliance. He then assigned Second Sister to build an Abyss-wide teleportation network, beginning with the Forest Clan.

• Second Sister explained that strange gods' powers far exceeded those of king-class exotic beasts, and doubted the Forest Clan could withstand such threats.
• Qin Ze argued that the Forest Clan had survived beast tides and helped defeat a king-class exotic beast and drive off a Higher Strange God, then invited Second Sister to join his effort to unite civilizations.
• Star Eyes arrived, introduced himself as the alliance's chief of staff, and warned Qin Ze that a new beast tide was gathering while Meng Die remained missing.
• Qin Ze persuaded Yan Miao to embrace his role as commander of the Second Army, and Second Sister agreed to stay with the alliance for the time being.
• Qin Ze asked Second Sister, a high-tier formation master, to construct an Abyss teleportation network linking member worlds, starting with the Forest Clan.

Qin Ze learned that large-scale spatial portals required a god with spatial authority and World Stones, making the Alliance’s transport network difficult to build. He also discovered Yan Miao was close to losing control of the Source of God of War and agreed to serve as its temporary vessel, while Star Eyes hinted at a risky substitute for World Stones.

• Second Sister told Qin Ze that even many high-level formation masters could not build large-scale spatial portals, so he went to consult Star Eyes.
• Star Eyes said the myriad races would face destruction without Qin Ze’s interference, and warned that Yan Miao would lose control of the Source of God of War within two days.
• Star Eyes explained that Qin Ze could contain the released Source of God of War, and Qin Ze agreed to help Yan Miao.
• Star Eyes said he could not build spatial portals, which required a god with spatial authority or a Strange God and materials capable of bearing higher rules.
• Star Eyes told Qin Ze that World Stones could serve as portal foundations, but offered to explain a risky, less durable substitute.

Qin Ze learned that purified exotic beast eggshells could be used to build spatial portals and set out to collect them in New Land. Meanwhile, Magician became trapped in a ghost maze and was swallowed by gray mist as the surrounding space collapsed.

• Star Eyes explained that exotic beast eggshells became usable portal material once the beasts hatched, and Qin Ze calculated that he needed tens of thousands of shells.
• Qin Ze told Star Eyes to guard their home, then informed General Huan and Brother Devour that he was leaving to collect eggshells.
• The Mist Lord suggested Qin Ze bring Captain along, but Qin Ze declined because he expected to avoid any New Land guarded by a Strange God.
• Magician complained that his teammates had not rescued him from a ghost maze, then gave up and called for an exotic beast to eat him.
• The ground and space around Magician shook and collapsed, and gray mist poured out and engulfed him, knocking him unconscious.

Qin Ze waited for Yan Miao’s Source of God of War to go out of control so he could rescue him and Second Sister before setting out for the New Land. He safely channeled the power back into Yan Miao and offered to help him manage it regularly.

• Magician lost contact after the world warped and gray fog appeared, but Brother Devour confirmed that he was alive and unconscious.
• Qin Ze told the others he would wait for Yan Miao’s Source of God of War to become unstable before intervening, while Dharma King headed toward Penglai City.
• The Source of God of War erupted in Yan Miao’s house, and Second Sister struggled to suppress it as the surrounding fairies and tree spirits fled the Blazing Sun Fire.
• Qin Ze entered the flames and drew the Source of God of War into himself, resisting his own Source of God’s urge to devour it.
• After Yan Miao recovered, Qin Ze returned the power to him, gathered the remaining fire, and told Second Sister to bring Yan Miao back every month or two for help channeling it.

Qin Ze left the Forest Clan to find New Land and gather materials for the Alliance’s teleportation portal. As exotic beasts ambushed him behind their defensive line, he captured one and linked his Spirit to its network, hearing a command to purge all heretics.

• Qin Ze asked Second Sister to guard the crystal and Outpost City while he went to New Land, and she agreed to stay behind.
• Qin Ze traveled toward the region where Meng Die and the others had come from, but found increasingly dense exotic beasts and no New Land.
• A king-level exotic beast’s forces ambushed Qin Ze, and Brother Devour warned that he was inside their defensive line and reinforcements would keep coming.
• Qin Ze used Void Traversal and earth escape to evade the beasts, then decided to capture one and use its network to locate New Land.
• Qin Ze fused part of his Spirit with the captured exotic beast and heard fragments of its network, including the command, “Purge... all... heretics...”

Qin Ze learned the locations of seven New Lands by entering the exotic beasts’ communication channel, but Heaven noticed him and the channel administrator expelled him. Niuniu sent Battle General Black One to hunt for the intruder while the Strange Gods prepared ambushes at the New Lands.

• Qin Ze’s Spiritual Sea of Consciousness collapsed after he saw the eye in the geometric shape, severing his connection to the exotic beast and killing it.
• Qin Ze told Miss Sword Case that he had found seven New Lands, each guarded by king-level exotic beasts and supported by nearby Strange Gods.
• Qin Ze entered Void Traversal and headed deeper into the exotic beasts’ defenses.
• Niuniu summoned Thousand Faces, now called Battle General Black One, and ordered him to find a fly that had entered their territory, allowing him to command nearby garrisons if needed.
• Niuniu and the other dark figures confirmed that the Dark Brain loophole was patched and that ambushes awaited Qin Ze at all seven New Lands.

Qin Ze found a fluctuating spatial rift and used the Shelter Space to accelerate its growth into a new land. He arranged for Thousand Faces to mislead the nearby defenders while a clone drew the beasts inward.

• Qin Ze searched for unstable space between the fourth and fifth defensive rings and found a rift that could become a New Land.
• Thousand Faces told Qin Ze he had been sent out of the Tomb of the Gods and had authority to command nearby strange beasts and Strange Gods.
• Qin Ze had Thousand Faces order the defenders away from the rift, then opened the Shelter Space and accelerated the rift’s expansion.
• Thousand Faces arrived and confirmed he had transferred the nearby beasts away from Qin Ze’s position.
• Qin Ze sent a Level Five clone with Thousand Faces toward the center of the defensive rings to impersonate him and lure the beasts around.

Qin Ze’s accelerated reclamation produced an orange New Land covered in unusual exotic beast eggs, but several eggs later broke before hatching. He discovered that something was deliberately stealing the immature eggs’ membrane, and angrily vowed to stop the culprit.

• Qin Ze finished reclaiming the New Land and found it orange, with exotic beast eggs patterned in gold and dark red.
• Qin Ze removed the Shelter Space after Thousand Faces assured him that no exotic beasts were nearby and the Strange Gods were stationed at the defensive lines.
• Qin Ze waited as the eggs emerged from the soil and began watching over them each day.
• Qin Ze found two broken eggs and discovered their underdeveloped hatchlings were dead and their membranes had been torn apart.
• Qin Ze found more similarly damaged eggs over the next two days and realized something was deliberately stealing their membranes.
• Qin Ze declared that the thief had dared to steal from the God of Greed.

After thieves stole another exotic beast egg in the New Land, Qin Ze caught three followers of the Golden God and accused them of endangering the Abyss's races. He offered them a chance to explain, but the chapter ended before they revealed why they had come to steal.

• Qin Ze planted more than a hundred true sight wards and told Thousand Faces to kill any king-tier exotic beasts that discovered his scheme.
• At dawn, a clone spotted three thieves stealing an egg, then self-destructed to attack them; Qin Ze arrived and pinned the battered trio down with divine might.
• Qin Ze recognized that the thieves came from different civilizations and accused them of being spies who had endangered the myriad races.
• The furry leader offered to pay for the damage, while the alien-looking girl revealed that they followed the Golden God.
• Qin Ze lectured the three about their thefts, then dismissed his divine might and asked why they had come to steal.
• Qin Ze listed his many titles and alliances to reassure the thieves, and they stared at one another without answering.

Qin Ze learned that the Golden Family’s Golden God was weakening and traveled with Furui and the others to their underground settlement, hoping to recruit the god into the Alliance. He reached the family leader’s house, where he saw a glowing light bulb walking inside.

• The alien girl told Qin Ze that the Golden God was dying, and she explained how the Golden Family depended on the god’s protection from Abyssal Corruption.
• Qin Ze learned that the family had found the Source of Life in exotic beast eggs and had sent Furui and the others to collect more samples for the Golden God.
• Qin Ze decided to visit the Golden Family, and Furui used a golden nugget to take the group through the earth to the settlement deep underground.
• Furui led Qin Ze past the Golden Family’s powerful members to the leader’s house and knocked on the door.
• The stone door opened, and Qin Ze saw a glowing light bulb walking inside the house.

The leader of the Golden Family told Qin Ze how his people found and served the sleeping Golden God, whose fading power had left them vulnerable to Abyssal Corruption. Qin Ze met the Golden God beneath the settlement, and her spirit recognized him as he experienced a strange familiarity with her.

• The Golden Family leader bowed to Qin Ze and asked him to save the Golden God, recognizing that Qin Ze was a Star God.
• The leader recounted how he and other wanderers found the Golden God, formed the Golden Family, and received shelter from the Abyss.
• The leader explained that he could no longer sense the Golden God’s will and that Corruption was affecting the family, so some members had begun to leave.
• Qin Ze followed the leader through an underground passage and found the Golden God embodied in a colossal golden statue.
• Qin Ze knocked on the statue and asked to speak with her, causing her spirit to appear and tell him, “You’ve finally come.”
• Qin Ze felt a strange familiarity and saw fragmented images before asking the Golden God if she knew him.

Qin Ze spoke with the Golden God, who revealed that they were the Goddess of the Earth and had nearly exhausted their life force suppressing the Tomb of the Gods. The Goddess urged Qin Ze to pass through the Star Gate and unravel the Mystery in the Womb before the Strange Gods fully revived, then faded back into the statue.

• The Golden God told Qin Ze that Heaven might discover the Mystery in the Womb, and explained that the Strange Gods were guarding against them because they were suppressing the Tomb of the Gods.
• The Golden God said the Strange Gods and Star Gods could revive, but they had not taken part in the final battle and did not know how many Star Gods remained.
• The Golden God revealed that they had burned through their Source of Life suppressing the Tomb of the Gods and could no longer hold it back.
• The Golden God told Qin Ze their true name was the Goddess of the Earth and said the key to everything lay with him and the Star Gate, which had always been there.
• The Goddess of the Earth faded into the statue, and Qin Ze offered the Golden Family a choice between dying in place and joining the Myriad Races Alliance.
• The Golden Family's leader accepted Qin Ze's offer and pledged to join the Myriad Races Alliance.

Qin Ze returned to Outpost City to collect thirty thousand tree fruits, checked in with Second Sister and Star Eyes, then brought the fruit back to the Golden God. The Golden God absorbed the Source of Life and granted Qin Ze a portion of the Goddess of the Earth's authority, urging him to keep moving forward.

• Qin Ze returned to Outpost City and found Second Sister managing its affairs from his headquarters.
• Second Sister reported that Star Eyes had found no clues about the Strange God and that Outpost City had repelled two large attacks by exotic beasts.
• Qin Ze asked Star Eyes about the Goddess of the Earth and the Desolate God, then heard that Meng Die was nearby and avoiding Star Eyes.
• General Huan gave Qin Ze thirty thousand tree fruits, and Qin Ze teleported back to the Golden God.
• The Golden God absorbed the tree fruits' Source of Life and gave Qin Ze a portion of the Goddess of the Earth's authority.

Qin Ze harvested more than a hundred thousand exotic beasts and gave them to Thousand Faces as troops. He and Thousand Faces then began staging a battle to make a commotion and draw out king-class exotic beasts.

• Qin Ze told Thousand Faces to wait until the exotic beast eggs were ready, then suggested they stage a fight and use the Golden God information to help Thousand Faces report back to Niuniu.
• The eggs hatched, and Qin Ze discovered that the newborn exotic beasts were linked to him and would obey simple commands.
• Qin Ze gave the herd to Thousand Faces, who was thrilled to have troops and received a Divine Vein mark so he could command them.
• Thousand Faces showed off his enhanced exotic beast form while the old geezers in the Local Area Network reacted to it.
• Qin Ze and Thousand Faces moved away from the herd and began their staged battle, with Qin Ze urging Thousand Faces to make enough noise to attract king-class exotic beasts.

Qin Ze defeated Thousand Faces in a staged fight, then escaped when a Strange God arrived. He returned to the Golden Family and welcomed the members who chose to follow him into the Myriad Races Alliance.

• Qin Ze battered Thousand Faces but stopped short of killing him when they failed to draw out any king-class exotic beasts.
• A Strange God arrived, and Qin Ze escaped using Golden God's authority before the newcomer could catch him.
• Thousand Faces told the Strange God about the New Land and warned him to protect the exotic beasts hatched there.
• Thousand Faces returned to report to Lord Black God, while the Strange God searched for a fugitive hiding near the core circle.
• Qin Ze returned to the Golden Family and welcomed around five hundred members who had chosen to join him.

Thousand Faces convinced Niuniu that a man had cultivated a New Land and won command of its exotic beasts, along with authority to investigate the Goddess of the Earth. Qin Ze brought the Golden Family to join the Alliance and surveyed Outpost City, which still needed a spatial transportation network to expand recruitment.

• Thousand Faces told Niuniu that a man had cultivated New Land and that he had taken control of the resulting exotic beasts.
• Niuniu praised Thousand Faces, gave him command of the exotic beasts, and authorized him to assign high-ranking Strange Gods to investigate the New Land and the Goddess of the Earth.
• Thousand Faces left the Tomb of the Gods and boasted to the clones in the Local Area Network about his promotion.
• Qin Ze brought Tie Ling and the Golden Family to the Forest Clan, where he arranged for them to join the Alliance and regain World Imprints.
• Qin Ze and Second Sister toured Outpost City, and he said the spatial transportation network would help Yan Miao recruit more soldiers.

Qin Ze arranged for eggshells to be smelted into three spatial gates and asked Echo to attach the Space Rule. Echo offered to do so in exchange for a mutual non-harm contract, and Qin Ze prepared to have a clone sign it.

• Second Sister praised Qin Ze's chances of leading the alliance through the crisis, and Qin Ze confirmed with Star Eyes that the golden-flecked eggshells could be used for spatial gates.
• Qin Ze delivered the eggshells and Star Eyes's smelting method to Zhu Tie, who promised to finish the materials within five days.
• Qin Ze watched Brother Devour train the First Legion and reflected on the coming battle against the Strange God and the reviving Star God.
• Molten Steel finished smelting the eggshells, and three spatial gates were forged and placed in the Sea of Glaze and with the Forest Clan.
• Qin Ze contacted Echo with the Magic Conch and agreed to Echo's mutual non-harm contract in exchange for the Space Rule.
• Qin Ze had Star Eyes leave and then summoned a clone to sign the contract.

Qin Ze opened the Alliance’s first Abyss teleportation route between the Forest Clan and the Sea of Glaze, then returned to Penglai City to connect the Human Race to the network. He asked Lao Dao to summon the Human Race’s Level Nine Martial Artists, preparing to reveal his plans.

• Qin Ze sealed a contract with Echo and used Echo’s transferred rule power to stabilize the spatial gate for about two months.
• Qin Ze activated gates linking the Forest Clan and the Sea of Glaze, officially opening the Alliance’s first Abyss teleportation network.

• Qin Ze placed a spatial gate in Penglai City and told Lao Dao to summon the Grand Consul and all the Human Race’s Level Nine Martial Artists.

Qin Ze returned to Snow City and settled back into his old identity, but the Dharma King warned him that Sea Capital and other cities were under unusual pressure. Qin Ze concluded that someone was stirring up trouble and went out to investigate.

• Qin Ze spent a peaceful day in Snow City, then touched his reflection and welcomed himself back as Qin Ze.
• The Dharma King told Qin Ze that Sea Capital was sealed and under curfew, while other cities felt strangely tense.
• Qin Ze learned that the official explanation for Sea Capital's lockdown was resource management for the fighting at Penglai City.
• Qin Ze concluded that someone was stirring up trouble and left to investigate, assigning the Dharma King to supervise Big Black's weight loss.
• Miss Sword Case stopped Big Black from eating while Qin Ze and Miss Sword Case went out.

Qin Ze reunited with Number Three in Snow City and learned that the Grand Consul had fired him after a strange crisis began in Sea Capital. Number Three revealed that the Grand Consul had sent him to warn Saber King, but could not or would not deliver the warning himself.

• Qin Ze visited a nearly empty tavern in Snow City and learned that the city had been locked down under a resource-management order.
• Qin Ze reunited with Number Three, who had reached the peak of level eight but was no longer in the Law Enforcement Sequence.
• Number Three told Qin Ze that nearly two hundred people had vanished in Jiang City and returned three days later with no detectable abnormalities.
• Number Three explained that returned people had begun lapsing into zombie-like madness, prompting the Grand Consul to order Sea Capital locked down.
• Number Three said the Grand Consul had fired him two days earlier and sent him to tell Saber King about the crisis because the Grand Consul could not, or did not dare, tell him personally.

Qin Ze learned that an unknown force had spread a plague through the Sea Capital and might have taken the Grand Consul, while the Law Tokens had stopped working. The Saber King planned to investigate, but Qin Ze stopped him, leaving the threat unresolved.

• Number Three told Qin Ze that the Grand Consul suspected an unknown contagion in the Sea Capital and had sent him to Snow City because his Self-Purification ability made him immune.
• Qin Ze left Number Three and went to find Lao Dao, while his clones worried that one of them might have been infected during a recent trip to the Sea Capital.
• Qin Ze met the Saber King near the Abyss Gate and learned that the Grand Consul had agreed to gather the Level Nine Martial Artists in Snow City before they visited the World Tree and the Tree Keeper.
• The Saber King revealed that the Law Tokens had stopped working, and Qin Ze found that his custom Law Token had lost all its power.
• The Saber King prepared to go to the Sea Capital, but Qin Ze warned him not to enter before they understood the enemy's methods.

Qin Ze investigated the strange events in Sea Capital and learned that a Higher Strange God named Mingzhi might be behind them. Star Eyes explained that Mingzhi’s authority could infect and control an entire world, leaving Qin Ze facing the prospect of destroying the Human Race’s world to stop him.

• Qin Ze persuaded Lao Dao to wait one day before going to Sea Capital and learned that Bu Qingyao was guarding Otherworld No. Zero.
• Qin Ze warned the Hunters in the group chat, learned that Slacking on the Sidelines had been affected and Sea Capital was sealed, and ordered Fairy to help Passerby A while the others gathered at the Yin-Yang Temple.
• Qin Ze traveled to the Forest Clan, asked Yan Miao to meet him at the portal, and told Second Sister to keep the area safe.
• Qin Ze told Star Eyes about Sea Capital, and Star Eyes identified the suspected enemy as Mingzhi, a Higher Strange God whose authority spread through parasitism and transmission.
• Star Eyes said the surest way to stop Mingzhi was to destroy the infected world and awaken its World Overlord, leaving Qin Ze unwilling to sacrifice the Human Race’s world.

Qin Ze decided to use himself as bait to lure Mingzhi out and took Yan Miao to Snow City to hunt a god. There, they found a parasite-controlled mercenary whose body concealed a grotesque black face.

• Qin Ze weighed the risks of sacrificing a world and resolved to find a way to draw Mingzhi out, with the clones suggesting that something more tempting than faith might lure the Strange God.
• Qin Ze brought Yan Miao to Snow City, told him to stay close, and gave him a Red Shell for travel.
• Dharma King reported that a parasite-infected mercenary had appeared in Snow City despite Lao Dao sealing off the city.
• Qin Ze found no signs of corruption in the mercenary and discovered that Smiley Face Pollen had no effect on him.
• Qin Ze used divine power to probe the mercenary, causing a twisted black face to emerge across his chest and abdomen.

Qin Ze discovered that Mingzhi’s parasitic authority spread through people’s minds and cells, then organized defenses and sought help from the God of the Underworld and the chairman. He proposed luring out and killing Mingzhi, but the chairman challenged his ability to slay a god.

• Qin Ze confirmed that the black smile infected people irreversibly, killed the parasitized mercenary, and sent the Dharma King to guard the spatial gate at Penglai City.
