After dividing the Soul Orbs and Martial Artifacts, Qin Ze and the Heavenly Kings encountered a swarm of nanobugs sent by the God of Machinery. Brother Devour overwhelmed the robot leading the swarm, but the nanobugs wrapped him and the robot together.

• Dharma King divided the Soul Orbs among the Heavenly Kings, leaving Magician without a share, and Brother Devour, Dharma King, Mist Lord, and A Bing grew stronger.
• Qin Ze distributed the Martial Artifacts, then spotted a meteor shower that turned out to be swarms of nanobugs approaching the Abyss Puppet.
• Dharma King attacked the swarm, and a robot emerged from behind its wall of nanobugs.
• Brother Devour charged the robot, survived its guns and blades, and smashed its head and arms before beating it into submission.
• The robot said it had only come to say hello, then the nanobugs wrapped both him and Brother Devour up.

Brother Devour and the others fought a robot who had followed them to seize Miss Sword Case, while the robot offered Qin Ze an impossible deal. As the battle escalated, Dharma King joined Brother Devour in attacking the God of Machinery’s mecha.

• Brother Devour smashed through the robot’s nanobot shield and tore apart its body, while Qin Ze and the others debated whether it had approached them in good faith.
• The robot rebuilt itself from nanobots, restrained Brother Devour, and offered Qin Ze Soul Orbs, Martial Artifacts, power, his black-market position, or eternal life for Miss Sword Case.
• Qin Ze rejected the deal, and the robot transformed into a mecha and declared the power of the God of Machinery.
• Brother Devour broke free, healed his wound with A Bing’s Smiley Face Pollen, and fought the mecha while Dharma King’s lightning disrupted its nanobots.
• Dharma King moved behind the robot and unleashed a torrent of thunderous power at its waist.

Brother Devour, A Bing, Dharma King, and Qin Ze fought the Mechanical Apostle, whose senses were disrupted by Mist Lord’s fog and whose body was damaged by Qin Ze’s Blazing Sun Fire and sword. The Apostle’s remaining gear began calling down the Supreme God of Machinery, and Qin Ze found his escape blocked by newly appearing gears as a familiar voice addressed him.

• Mist Lord’s fog disrupted the Mechanical Apostle’s senses, allowing Brother Devour to break free and attack while A Bing healed him with Smiley Face Pollen.

• The Apostle summoned nanobugs, but Qin Ze used Miss Sword Case’s bone sword to destroy its upper body, leaving a spinning silver gear.
• The remaining gear prayed to the Supreme God of Machinery, began assembling more gears and parts, and blocked Qin Ze’s attempt to escape into the void.
• A familiar voice spoke to Qin Ze as mechanical gears continued to materialize around him.

Qin Ze confronted the God of Machinery, who tried to turn him against Miss Sword Case by claiming she and his power were gifts arranged by Old Huang. Qin Ze resisted the influence and fought back, but the God of Machinery pinned him down with immense gravity, forcing him to unleash his King Engine and rise in his exotic beast form.

• The God of Machinery recognized Qin Ze despite his disguise and demanded that he hand over Miss Sword Case in exchange for joining the Intelligent Brain.
• The God of Machinery claimed Qin Ze's cultivation, Source of God, and Sword Case had been arranged as gifts that would eventually demand repayment, briefly making Qin Ze feel compelled to surrender her.
• Qin Ze shook off the influence, reassured Miss Sword Case, and demanded the Relic from the God of Machinery.
• The God of Machinery sealed the mechanical chamber's space and attacked Qin Ze with nano-torrents, while Miss Sword Case sent Fire Child and Water Child to fight.
• Qin Ze unleashed Supernova Explosion and lightning, broke through the spatial laws, and struck at the God of Machinery, but the God pinned him down with gravity.
• Qin Ze activated his King Engine and transformed into his exotic beast form, then forced himself upright against the immense gravity.

Qin Ze fought the God of Machinery inside a sealed gear space, while the Heavenly Kings struggled to reach him. A little Golden Crow broke through the space and empowered Qin Ze, who defeated the God of Machinery, but was left with a warning about the Abyss and the truth of the world.

• Qin Ze shattered the God of Machinery’s spatial rules and attacked him with Miss Sword Case, Lightning Plasma, Giant Overlord Ray, and Blazing Sun Fire.
• The Heavenly Kings discussed ways to break into the gear space, and Brother Devour realized Magician could draw a powerful card if they had enough Source of Life.

• A little Golden Crow flew in and burned through the gear space, then its fire converged on Qin Ze and strengthened him.
• Qin Ze struck the God of Machinery with Miss Sword Case and a giant’s battle-ax, melting his body.
• Before he disappeared, the God of Machinery warned Qin Ze that the Abyss was not as simple as it seemed and questioned whether he could preserve his innocence after learning the truth of the world.

Qin Ze and his allies survived the battle with the Mechanical Apostle, though they left without finding a Relic. As they traveled on the Abyss Puppet, Qin Ze worried over Miss Sword Case and the world's mysteries, while Thousand Faces announced he had passed his trial.

• After the Blazing Sun Fire faded, Qin Ze and his allies searched the mechanical wreckage but found no Relic, and Brother Devour suspected the body had only been a shell for the God of Machinery's descent.
• Once Qin Ze left, the Mechanical Apostle rebuilt himself from a hidden core, and the God of Machinery explained that he had let Qin Ze go because Miss Sword Case needed him to find her remaining swords.
• Qin Ze recovered on the Abyss Puppet while Magician repeatedly ruined Miss Sword Case's cloud carvings, and Qin Ze defended her as his partner.
• Qin Ze considered the God of Machinery's cryptic words, Old Huang's fate, and his need to advance toward the Source of God, then messaged Second Sister to say he would care for her when she grew old.
• Thousand Faces announced on the Local Area Network that he had passed the trial and was about to become a Battle General.

Second Sister drove off the robot's attempt to hold her accountable for the missing auction items by invoking Qin Ze's status as a God of War. Two days later, Qin Ze and the Heavenly Kings reached the world Yan Miao had marked, only to find it breaking apart into fragments.

• Second Sister told the robot she had bought the missing auction items for one crystal to supply Qin Ze, and he left without getting his way.
• Qin Ze and the others listened as Thousand Faces described becoming a Battle General and adopting Gui Gui as his little brother.
• Second Sister warned Qin Ze that the robot was an Apostle who had survived, and Qin Ze replied that he would visit her at the next auction.
• Qin Ze led the Abyss Puppet to Yan Miao's coordinates, and he and the Heavenly Kings entered the world through its spatial gate.
• Qin Ze discovered that the world had begun to annihilate and had shattered into countless fragments floating over a sea of nothingness.

Qin Ze used the World Key to awaken the dying World Will and locate Water Child’s original hiding place in a fragment of the ruined world. After Miss Sword Case carried him across the Sea of Void, Qin Ze reached an ancient mountain ruin and triggered its defenses.

• Qin Ze learned that Yan Miao had taken Water Child from this world, then used his final question to mark the sword’s original location.
• Qin Ze recalled the Heavenly Kings and asked Miss Sword Case to carry him safely across the Sea of Void to the marked fragment.
• Miss Sword Case reached the mountain fragment and spat Qin Ze out before her glow faded.
• Qin Ze found a hollow mountain filled with carved stone pillars and recognized it as the ruins of a vanished civilization.
• The pillars lit up and a voice welcomed visitors to the Spirit Eye Empire Inscription Central Laboratory and requested identification.

Qin Ze broke into the Spirit Eye Empire’s central laboratory and discovered that its inscription technology powered everything from household appliances to weapons. In the laboratory’s core, he found a humanoid creature suspended in a tank and connected to a glowing red orb.

• Qin Ze shattered the laboratory’s access-control pillar, causing the light barrier to vanish when its emergency systems failed to reach anyone.
• Qin Ze kicked through the eye-marked gates and found empty rooms and an exhibition hall devoted to the Spirit Eye Empire’s worship of eyes.
• Qin Ze activated an inscription-powered pan and tested other devices, discovering that inscriptions powered household appliances, vehicles, tools, and weapons.
• Qin Ze took an inscription elevator to the laboratory’s second floor and broke into its core area.
• Qin Ze found a humanoid creature immersed in a glass tank, connected by tubes to a red orb of light.

Qin Ze uncovered the Spirit Eye Empire’s experiments with Inscribed Runes and traced their power to a long-armed creature held in a tank. He destroyed the artificial sun that drew on the creature’s divine power, plunging the laboratory into darkness.

• Qin Ze and the others examined a pale, long-armed creature suspended in a tank and considered whether it was a native, a Sword Bearer, or a Demigod Level exotic beast.
• Qin Ze read the Superbody Project records, which showed that hundreds of test subjects had died after Inscribed Runes were applied to their bodies.
• Qin Ze learned from A Brief History of Inscribed Runes that the Spirit Eye Empire’s Far-Seers had received the runes through a divine gift several hundred years earlier.
• Qin Ze and the others suspected that an exotic beast sealed by the water-element flying sword had taught the Spirit Eye People Inscribed Runes.
• Qin Ze concluded that the long-armed creature supplied the artificial sun’s divine power, then shattered the sun and plunged the laboratory into darkness.

After Qin Ze destroyed the laboratory’s artificial sun, the inscriptions sealing a man in a jar began to fail, and Qin Ze freed him. The man identified himself as Mo Sheng, the Water Element Sword Bearer, and revealed that his water-attribute flying sword was suppressing the Demigod Level exotic beast Hundred Eyes.

• The inscriptions on the jar flickered and cracked after the artificial sun was destroyed, while Long Arms struggled inside and begged Qin Ze for help.
• Qin Ze used divine power and Blazing Sun Fire to destroy the inscriptions and shatter the jar, freeing Long Arms.
• Long Arms introduced himself as Mo Sheng, the Water Element Sword Bearer, and said the people he had taught inscriptions had sealed him as a research subject.
• Mo Sheng told Qin Ze that he had come by the Desolate God's command with a water-attribute flying sword to suppress Hundred Eyes, which was still being held by his sword.

Qin Ze doubted Mo Sheng’s claim to be the water-attribute sword bearer and suspected his invitation to kill Hundred Eyes was a trap. Mo Sheng and Qin Ze left the laboratory together, each hiding his intentions.

• Miss Sword Case explained that her child’s power weakened over time, allowing anyone to wield the water-attribute flying sword once its power nearly ran out.
• Qin Ze and the clones questioned Mo Sheng’s identity, noting that he did not recognize Miss Sword Case and did not seem to be the sword bearer.
• Qin Ze introduced himself with a string of grand titles, and Mo Sheng praised his sword intent.
• Mo Sheng asked Qin Ze to help kill Hundred Eyes and promised him its Demigod Level Soul Orb, then offered another Soul Orb as repayment for being rescued.
• Qin Ze accepted, and he and Mo Sheng left the laboratory together while Qin Ze wondered who Mo Sheng really was.

Qin Ze followed Mo Sheng to a rune-sealed pit, but uncovered his lies and realized the being imprisoned below was the World Overlord, not Hundred Eyes. Mo Sheng revealed himself as a god and unleashed an aura like the Chaos Strange God's.

• Mo Sheng led Qin Ze through the shattered world, claiming to be a Water Element Sword Bearer and explaining that he had fought alongside the other Sword Bearers.
• Qin Ze noticed Mo Sheng's story contradicted what he had learned and suspected the runes and the battle involving Mo Sheng, the Sword Bearer, and Hundred Eyes had been misrepresented.
• Mo Sheng brought Qin Ze to a rune-covered pit and urged him to kill Hundred Eyes and claim the Soul Orb and a water-attribute flying sword.
• Qin Ze stabbed Mo Sheng and blasted him apart with Blazing Sun Fire after concluding that a real Sword Bearer would not know how the War of the Gods ended.
• Qin Ze revealed that he already possessed the divine sword and identified the being beneath the five pillars as the World Overlord, who had been suppressed by the runes.
• Mo Sheng admitted he was neither a Sword Bearer nor Hundred Eyes, declared himself a god, and released an aura like the Chaos Strange God's.

Qin Ze uncovered that Nether Sparrow had impersonated Mo Sheng and sought his help to escape the Inscribed Runes and devour Dominator. Nether Sparrow rejected Qin Ze’s threat until Qin Ze revealed his divine power and claimed to be the god Lin Zhiyuan.

• Nether Sparrow transformed and revealed that he had eaten the sword bearer Mo Sheng, while confirming that Hundred Eyes had escaped.
• Nether Sparrow explained that Hundred Eyes had brought him from Chaos, then betrayed him and left the Spirit Eye People to imprison him with Inscribed Runes.
• Qin Ze deduced that Nether Sparrow wanted him to break the runes so Nether Sparrow could devour Dominator.
• Nether Sparrow offered to split Dominator’s power with Qin Ze, but Qin Ze said he wanted both Dominator and Nether Sparrow.
• Qin Ze activated the Source of God, introduced himself as Lin Zhiyuan, and pushed Nether Sparrow back with his divine might.

Nether Sparrow used a Magic Conch to teleport Qin Ze into the seal formed by the five Inscribed Rune pillars. As Qin Ze tried to escape, he realized Hundred Eyes had trapped the area in a time domain that kept resetting it to the previous second.

• Nether Sparrow blew a Magic Conch and sent Qin Ze into the space sealed by the five Inscribed Rune pillars.
• Qin Ze recognized that Echo and Hundred Eyes had worked together and decided to use Fate Oracle to find the child rather than pursue the escaped exotic beasts.
• Qin Ze and his clones flew upward to escape the seal, but he remained in the same place despite traveling for dozens of seconds.
• Qin Ze struck at a pillar, but his fist light reversed course and vanished before reaching it.
• Qin Ze concluded that Hundred Eyes' rule had trapped them in a Domain of Time where time stayed fixed at the previous second.

Qin Ze used his complete exotic beast form and Miss Sword Case to break the Inscribed Runes sustaining the Domain of Time. He emerged from the shaft as the Domain collapsed and confronted Nether Sparrow.

• Qin Ze concluded that Nether Sparrow had sent him inside the jar to break the runes and free the Dominator, and suspected Nether Sparrow had another trump card.
• Qin Ze transformed into his complete exotic beast form and, with Miss Sword Case, forced his way through the Domain of Time toward the runed pillar.
• Qin Ze repeatedly struck the pillar with Miss Sword Case until its Inscribed Runes went dark and his divine might shattered it.
• The runes on the other four pillars dimmed, dispelling the Domain of Time as Qin Ze and Miss Sword Case rose out of the shaft.
• Qin Ze emerged through the Blazing Sun Fire and declared that Nether Sparrow should prepare to die.

Qin Ze fought Nether Sparrow as the World Overlord emerged, but Nether Sparrow absorbed the Dominator and claimed authority over the world fragments. Qin Ze prepared to face him with a fully nurtured bone sword.

• Qin Ze attacked Nether Sparrow, but the World Overlord’s force field blocked Miss Sword Case while its arms reached out of the atrium.
• Qin Ze’s God of Greed power broke through Nether Sparrow’s defense, and Blazing Sun Fire burned him as the World Overlord erupted from the mountain.
• Qin Ze struck the mountain-sized World Overlord and sent it flying, but its arms quickly regenerated while Nether Sparrow recovered from the flames.
• The World Overlord sealed the world fragment, split into cyclones, and enveloped Nether Sparrow, merging with his body as the surrounding fragments broke apart.
• Nether Sparrow dispersed Qin Ze’s fire dragon, declared himself the overlord of the world, and walked toward Qin Ze across joined fragments.
• Qin Ze accepted a fully nurtured bone sword from Miss Sword Case and prepared to fight Nether Sparrow.

Qin Ze fought Nether Sparrow across a collapsing world arena, using his many abilities to inflict heavy damage. Nether Sparrow transformed into a Phoenix and entered a stronger second phase, but Brother Devour appeared to shield Qin Ze from his attacks.

• Qin Ze broke Nether Sparrow’s defenses with Miss Sword Case, lightning, fire, and his other abilities, while the collapsing world weakened Nether Sparrow’s control over space.
• Qin Ze used the Fog of War and a golden sword technique to badly wound Nether Sparrow and sever one of his wings.
• Nether Sparrow declared himself a Phoenix, summoned two enormous bird phantoms, and regenerated into a stronger form with new wings and blade-like arms.
• Nether Sparrow attacked Qin Ze with wind blades and a bird phantom, then fired energy blasts and a cross blade while Qin Ze was distracted.
• Brother Devour emerged in his exotic beast form and blocked Nether Sparrow’s incoming attacks for Qin Ze.
