Virgo and the Fairness Society opened a passage that unleashed a coordinated beast tide through Gate-Sealing Steles in more than a hundred cities.

After the battle, Yao Yuan returned to the Abyss, the Grand Consul went to clear out the remaining exotic beasts, and Qin Ze prepared to return to Sea Capital.

• Qin Ze struck Virgo repeatedly with bone swords until Virgo died from the wounds Yao Yuan had inflicted, then claimed he had solo-killed a Level Eight Martial Artist.

Qin Ze learned that the Fairness Society’s use of Void Beasts was suspicious, while the Cloud Clan and other powerful races were secretly hunting them. After returning from the Abyss with 1,250 Soul Orbs, he divided them among his strongest clones and ordered them to prepare for future battles.

• Qin Ze read the group’s discussion and considered how the Fairness Society’s mass casualties undermined its stated mission and recruitment.

• Dharma King reported that the group had returned from the Abyss with 1,250 Soul Orbs after collecting them from the battlefield and hunting weaker exotic beasts.
• Qin Ze allocated about a hundred Soul Orbs each to Brother Devour and the other leaders, then gave the rest to the hundred highest-level clones to build a powerful team.
• Qin Ze ordered Brother Devour to organize the team by dawn, and the clones jokingly shouted their familiar refrain in response.

After absorbing Soul Orbs, Qin Ze reached level 4.5 and tested his strength before the Maka Race ambassador confronted him about the Fire Movement Technique. The ambassador finally asked who had taught Qin Ze the technique, leaving Qin Ze to hear the reason for his interest.

• Qin Ze refused to talk until the ambassador bargained with him, then took him to a crowded malatang shop near the Law Enforcement Department.
• The Maka Race ambassador asked Qin Ze who had taught him the Fire Movement Technique.

Qin Ze rejected the Maka Race ambassador’s threats, demonstrated his Fire Movement Technique for a fee, and received an invitation from the Maka Empire’s fifth prince, Shajia. After consulting Executive Yao Yuan, Qin Ze learned that the technique was designed for Maka bodies, leaving Yao Yuan curious about how Qin Ze had mastered it so completely.

• Qin Ze refused to reveal the origin of his Fire Movement Technique, charged the Maka Race ambassador to demonstrate it, and collected the promised Soul Orbs.
• The Maka Race ambassador invited Qin Ze to meet the fifth prince, Shajia, and gave him a letter offering one thousand high-grade crystals for a visit.
• Qin Ze read Shajia’s letter, remained unsure whether the invitation was safe, and called Teacher Yao to ask for help contacting Executive Yao Yuan.
• Yao Yuan examined Qin Ze’s flame, explained that the Fire Movement Technique was suited to Maka physiology and poorly suited to humans, then asked how Qin Ze had perfected it.

Qin Ze received Yao Yuan’s support and prepared to travel to the Maka Race’s world, but a new Hunt Otherworld appeared sooner than expected. With the other chat group members unable or unwilling to go, the group faced a shortage of people to complete its mission.

• Qin Ze convinced Yao Yuan that his clones’ cultivation counted as his own hard work, and Yao Yuan gave him diplomatic status, a communication card, and a protective necklace for his planned trip to the Maka Race’s world.
• Yao Yuan asked Qin Ze to investigate the Maka imperial family’s conflict and told him to check out an unstable Otherworld near Sea Capital before going to the Northern Territory.
• Yao Yuan gave Qin Ze at least fifty Five Elements Talismans, then returned to the Abyss; Qin Ze offered Teacher Yao one, which she refused.
• Qin Ze collected his solo king championship reward, chose a silver storage ring, and organized his plans while waiting for the Hunt Otherworld to appear.
• Yao Yuan announced in the chat group that a Hunt Otherworld had appeared in the Sea Capital suburbs and that the alliance needed to secure its Source of the World before the Maka Race could react.
• After several members said they could not or would not go, Beast Tamer volunteered to enter the Hunt Otherworld.

Qin Ze and the five heavenly kings entered a Hunt Otherworld with the mission to assassinate the Führer, only to find themselves in a tightly controlled futuristic city. After Dharma King destroyed drones that ordered them to submit for inspection, a huge swarm of drones surrounded the group.

• Qin Ze and the five heavenly kings entered the Otherworld near Sea Capital and learned that their mission was to assassinate the Führer of the Mechanical Faction.
• Qin Ze discovered he could not use the Shelter Space and found himself in a silent, black-and-white city with no guidance on how to identify the Führer.
• Sirens woke the city, and crowds in identical numbered uniforms gathered to board hovering buses after a broadcast praised the Führer.
• Drones identified Qin Ze and his companions as outsiders and ordered them to raise their hands and report for inspection.
• Dharma King destroyed the first drones, prompting countless more to swarm over the group, and Qin Ze told everyone to run.

Qin Ze and the Five Heavenly Kings fought off Happiness City’s peace officers and drones while investigating the AI-ruled city. After deciding to get captured to infiltrate the authorities, they encountered Sun Xiaotian, who led them through the sewers and mistook them for Dynasty agents.

• Qin Ze and the Five Heavenly Kings escaped the drones with Mist Lord’s Fog of War and speculated that an AI ruled Happiness City and kept its humans captive.

• Sun Xiaotian led Qin Ze and the five heavenly kings to the black market, where they surveyed the underground trade.
• A filthy child bumped into Qin Ze and slipped him a note; Qin Ze sent Thousand Faces after the child and read the warning to abort the operation.

Qin Ze learned that a mole had been tipped off about his mission, met Dynasty’s weak resistance fighters, and discovered they had repaired a powerful EMP emitter for the attack on the Führer. As the operation approached, Qin Ze questioned how he could defeat the Führer, and Fairy pointed out that the mission required completing two objectives.

• Thousand Faces told Qin Ze that a boy had slipped him the note for a piece of rat meat but could not identify the person who hired him.
• Sun Xiaotian introduced Qin Ze to Wen Jing and the other Dynasty fighters, and Qin Ze ordered them to stay out of the front lines because they were too weak.

• Qin Ze considered the Führer’s unknown strength and asked the chat group for ideas on how to complete the mission.
• Scholar suggested that the Otherworld had adjusted the mission to Qin Ze’s abilities, and Fairy noted that the briefing required completing two missions.

Qin Ze considered how to fulfill the mission’s deeper goal of freeing humanity, while Thousand Faces was caught infiltrating the Eternal Flame church. After learning its leader was a level-eight powerhouse, Thousand Faces still left, insisting he wanted freedom.

• Fairies Don't Poop explained that killing the Führer alone would not free humanity, and Scholar advised Qin Ze that the mission’s conditions could be triggered through a clever approach.
• Qin Ze struggled to devise a plan, while Thousand Faces revealed that he had been caught exploring the Eternal Flame headquarters.
• Thousand Faces explained that he had disguised himself as Xiaoyu, but an old man recognized him and asked whether he had harmed her.
• The old man released Thousand Faces and invited him to join the Eternal Flame, explaining that he wanted to keep its people alive rather than risk many deaths in a revolt.
• Thousand Faces rejected the old man’s offer in favor of freedom, then learned the old man was level eight and left anyway.

Qin Ze’s group met Dynasty’s real Execution Squad and agreed to join its plan to assassinate the Führer. After leaving Sun Xiaotian’s room, Qin Ze urged him to stay alive, and Sun Xiaotian accepted him as a comrade.

• Thousand Faces bragged about his level-eight victory on the Local Area Network while Mist Lord urged the group to hide until they reached level nine.
• Dynasty’s five-person Execution Squad arrived at Sun Xiaotian’s room, and Qin Ze’s false claim that he belonged to Dynasty was exposed when he failed to give the rendezvous code.
• Brother Devour, Mist Lord, Dharma King, Giant Overlord, and Thousand Faces entered, leaving the Execution Squad outnumbered and prompting both sides to talk.
• Qin Ze offered to work with the Execution Squad, and its one-eyed leader revealed a plan to attack the Führer at Central Square with an EMP emitter the morning after tomorrow.
• Qin Ze’s group agreed to meet beneath Central Square at five in the morning, then left with the Five Heavenly Kings.
• Sun Xiaotian apologized for mistaking Qin Ze’s group for Dynasty, and Qin Ze called him a comrade and told him to stay alive.
