They earned the floor’s first-clear rewards, including 20 Heroic Souls and a Psionic Blast Tower blueprint, and prepared to keep exploring.

• Cheng Jianyong killed the Skeleton Warhorse with Tempest Dance, and Han Xing interrupted Baksa’s ultimate attack with Ambush: Break.
• Shen Yun, Su Xiaoyang, and Zhang Lianmeng struck Baksa while it was staggered, and the group defeated the Skeleton General and cleared the remaining monsters.
• Han Xing collected a Heroic Soul and Baksar’s Golden Spear, discovering that the weapon belonged to an eight-piece set with powerful bonuses.
• Shen Yun suggested using a Mark of the Strong to farm the 40th floor again for more set pieces, and Han Xing agreed that they could seek stronger sets on higher floors.
• The group received the 40th-floor first-clear reward: 50,000 Abyssal Magic Stones, 20 Heroic Souls, and a Psionic Blast Tower blueprint.

Han Xing claimed the First Clear Reward for Floor 40, a Psionic Blast Tower blueprint, and led Xinghe Squad onward through the Abyssal Rift. As survivors celebrated Xinghe’s record and Wujie lamented the growing gap, the team cleared Floors 41 and 42 and reached Floor 43, where their area attacks were on cooldown.

• Han Xing received fifty thousand Abyssal Magic Stones, twenty Heroic Souls, and the Psionic Blast Tower blueprint as Floor 40’s First Clear Reward.
• Xinghe Squad’s record and First Clear appeared on the Braveheart Stone, prompting survivors to spread the news and Wujie to acknowledge he could not keep pace with Han Xing.
• Han Xing and his team began Floor 41, defeated its monsters, and collected a Heroic Soul among the loot.
• The team cleared Floor 42 and advanced to Floor 43, where Zhang Lianmeng and Su Xiaoyang asked Han Xing whether they should use their remaining clearing skills while their area attacks were on cooldown.

Han Xing and his companions cleared the 43rd floor with his Falling Star Arrow Rain and fought their way to the 49th, where swarms of stronger monsters and flying units overwhelmed the battlefield. Cheng Jianyong was surrounded by elites and bosses as he launched an Iai Strike.

• Han Xing rejected using Zhang Lianmeng’s forbidden spell or Su Xiaoyang’s Elf Secret Technique and unleashed Falling Star Arrow Rain to destroy the monsters on the 43rd floor.
• Demon Lord Urias noticed the meteor attack, wondered whether its aura was familiar, and continued toward the Dark Elves’ Teleportation Array project.
• Han Xing’s group collected materials, including two Heroic Souls, then climbed from the 44th floor to the 49th using a rotation of their area attacks.
• On the 49th floor, flying monsters and increasing numbers of elites and bosses attacked the group across the vast battlefield.
• Cheng Jianyong was surrounded by Frost Wisps, Skeleton Executioners, Bone Dragons, and Winged Demon Dragons, so he used Iai Strike.

Han Xing and his team faced the Level 45 Fear Prowler, whose powerful defenses and skills threatened to trap and weaken them. With the party caught in its World of Wails, Shen Yun asked whether to use Holy Light Illumination, leaving the team on the verge of a powerful counterattack.

• Cheng Jianyong survived attacks from airborne monsters with Shen Yun’s protection, and Han Xing’s team brought the remaining flying enemies down.
• The Level 45 Fear Prowler emerged from the mist and weakened the team with Fear Domain, while its Fear Shield blunted their attacks.
• Han Xing sent Meiqiu to slash the Fear Prowler and reduce its defense, allowing the team to break its shield and deal more damage.
• The Fear Prowler used World of Wails to slow the team, drain their health, and heal its wounds as its tentacles spread blood veins across the ground.
• Shen Yun asked Han Xing whether to cast Holy Light Illumination to remove the team’s debuffs and boost their fighting strength.

Shen Yun’s holy light helped Han Xing’s team defeat the Fear Prowler on the 49th floor of the Abyssal Rift, earning them an Orange caster set piece and other valuable rewards. Han Xing chose to withdraw rather than risk the team on the 50th floor, and after returning to Myriad Stars City he learned the Psionic Blast Tower blueprint and found he had enough materials for a Magic Elephant War Chariot.

• Shen Yun cast Holy Light Illumination, dispelling the Fear Prowler’s World of Wails and boosting the team’s strength enough for them to kill the Lord creature.
• Han Xing collected five Heroic Souls and loot that included the Orange Helm of Terror, then gave the caster set piece to Zhang Lianmeng.
• Han Xing decided not to challenge the 50th floor, judging that its danger outweighed the need to claim its First Clear Reward immediately.
• The team returned to Myriad Stars City, where Han Xing noticed some of his defensive towers had activated while they were away.
• Han Xing learned the Psionic Blast Tower blueprint and confirmed he had gathered enough materials to build a Magic Elephant War Chariot.

Han Xing completed three Magic Elephant War Chariots and recruited Wolf Riders to master them, then led his party into the Abyssal Rift. Elsewhere, the chapter revealed a heavily fortified Wu Race defensive line and introduced the Legendary Expert Feinna at a meeting with the Third Legion Commander.

• Han Xing found that all three Magic Elephant War Chariots had been completed and inspected their immense size and power.
• Han Xing ordered Wolf Riders to learn to operate the chariots, and they accepted after he challenged their pride and promised Golden Longswords as rewards.
• Han Xing, Shen Yun, Cheng Jianyong, Su Xiaoyang, and Zhang Lianmeng entered the Abyssal Rift and selected Floor 30.
• The chapter showed a Wu Race defensive line made up of at least a thousand fortified floating islands, advanced towers, steel chariots, and flying troops.
• At a meeting in the Wu Race Territory, the Third Legion Commander and other officers waited as Feinna lounged in her chair.

Feinna clashed with General Koden during a Wu Race war meeting, then returned to her chambers and was confronted by a mysterious Hooded Woman demanding the soul Feinna had promised centuries ago. The chapter ended as Feinna unleashed her Legendary aura against the woman.

• Feinna ignored General Koden's warning and ate during the meeting while Wu Race officers discussed the Shadow Legion's raids and the threat it posed.
• Koden rebuked the officers for underestimating the Shadow Legion and ordered Feinna to obey his commands in wartime.
• Feinna threatened Koden, but his reputation as Godslayer made her hesitate, and she left the meeting without attacking him.
• In her chambers, Feinna raged over her setbacks until a Hooded Woman appeared and reminded her of an old promise to surrender her soul in exchange for saving her and granting her power.
• Feinna refused to give up her soul, and her Legendary aura erupted as the Hooded Woman approached.

Han Xing and the Xinghe Squad repeatedly cleared the Abyssal Rift, growing stronger and collecting powerful set equipment. Half a month later, Cheng Jianyong completed the Baksa Set and Zhang Lianmeng equipped the full Fear Set, greatly increasing their combat power.

• Han Xing led the Xinghe Squad through repeated Abyssal Rift runs, where Baksa eventually dropped its Golden Spear and the Fear Prowler dropped another Orange Set piece.
• The group cleared the rift eight times in a day, and Han Xing used their materials to build eleven Magic Elephant War Chariots for the Wolf Riders.
• Over half a month of rift runs, the squad reached level 45, strengthened their equipment, and collected enough pieces to complete both the Baksa Set and the Fear Set.
• Cheng Jianyong showed off the completed Baksa Set and said its bonuses had raised his damage by at least 40%.
• Zhang Lianmeng appeared wearing the complete Fear Set and told Han Xing that its bonuses had more than doubled her actual damage.

Han Xing paused Abyssal Rift grinding and focused on expanding Myriad Stars City, while keeping his Space Backpack trade plans secret until he could threaten Legends. Meanwhile, Starry Sky City’s territory-buying program brought its survivors resources, and Wang Teng received 200,000 Spirit Cores for selling territory.

• Han Xing decided the group would stop grinding the Abyssal Rift for now and continue exploring Sky Islands and expanding Myriad Stars City.
• Han Xing watched the Wolf Riders train with Magic Elephant War Chariots and considered Philosopher’s Stones a bottleneck, but resolved not to trade Space Backpacks with Wu Ling’er until he could deal with Legends.
• Starry Sky City expanded and its territory-purchasing operation, managed by Gokyo Ruri, paid survivors 100 Spirit Cores per square kilometer of territory.
• Wang Teng sold 2,000 square kilometers of territory to Starry Sky City for 200,000 Spirit Cores and excitedly told Jiao Laoda about the deal.

Han Xing expanded Starry Sky City into a thriving, secure commercial hub while Myriad Stars City continued exploring the Wu Race Territory. The group discovered an enormous mineral-rich Sky Island occupied by goblins and prepared to investigate it.

• Survivors contributed territories to Starry Sky City in exchange for compensation, allowing it to grow rapidly and develop a bustling commercial district.
• Starry Sky City drew millions of active survivors and provided a safe haven, while Lanlan announced that a second batch of shops was under construction.
• Han Xing learned that Starry Sky City's business was flourishing but continued searching the Wu Race Territory for rare high-level materials.
• After expanding their territory by more than one hundred square kilometers, Han Xing and his companions encountered a Cloud Sky Island spanning several hundred square kilometers.
• Han Xing accepted the System Prompt to enter the island, where the group found valuable mineral deposits being mined by goblins.

Han Xing discovered a heavily armed goblin tribe mining Rhythmic Black Iron and sent the Magic Elephant War Chariots to test their combat power. The chariots shattered the goblins’ defense and tore through their ranks, leaving Han Xing impressed with the Wolf Riders’ progress.

• Han Xing and his companions found tens of thousands of goblins guarding a mine, and he recognized the ore as valuable Rhythmic Black Iron.
• A Bear Goblin warned the humans to leave, while the goblins mocked them and prepared to attack.
• Han Xing summoned more than twenty Magic Elephant War Chariots, each empowered by a Heroic Soul, and ordered the Wolf Riders to show their training.
• The goblins hurled thousands of spears at the chariots, but the attacks bounced off without damaging them.
• A Wolf Rider charged into the goblins with a Magic Elephant War Chariot, crushing hundreds and cutting through the gathered troops with its saw blades.

Han Xing’s group tested the Magic Elephant War Chariots, whose bombardment devastated the Goblin Sky Island and killed most of its warriors. As Han Xing prepared to kill the survivors, the Goblin Seer negotiated for their lives, then threatened to detonate the island if the humans attacked.

• Twenty-one Magic Elephant War Chariots fired a Flame Barrage that destroyed a vast section of the Sky Island and killed tens of thousands of Goblins.
• Han Xing led his group onto the island and ordered them to kill the surviving Goblins.
• The Goblin Seer calmed the panicked Goblins and pleaded with Han Xing to spare them in exchange for seventy percent of their treasures.
• Han Xing pointed out that killing the Goblins would let him take everything, and the Goblin Seer revealed it could detonate explosives hidden beneath the island.
• Cheng Jianyong and the others prepared to fight as Han Xing considered the Goblin Seer’s threat.

Han Xing captured the Goblin Seer, who offered him Waukeen’s Mask in exchange for sparing the goblin tribe, but the seer died after Su Xiaoyang struck it with an arrow. Han Xing spared the goblins on the condition that they serve him and began binding them with Lord Contracts, revealing that he had bought nearly a million scrolls.

• Han Xing disarmed and captured the Goblin Seer after it threatened to destroy the sky island, then learned about Waukeen’s Mask and agreed to spare the tribe in exchange for it.
• The Goblin Seer erupted with a terrifying aura, and Su Xiaoyang accidentally killed it with an arrow after it apparently used mental control on her.
• Han Xing stopped the panicking goblins from fleeing and offered them survival in exchange for serving him; they agreed and knelt before him.
• Han Xing ordered every goblin to sign a Lord Contract, then revealed thousands of scrolls and explained that Lanlan had bought nearly a million of them.

Han Xing forced the goblins to sign contracts, merged their sky island into Myriad Stars City, and learned that the Goblin Seer’s grotto held an Artifact-Level treasure. With a goblin guide, he led the group underground, where Cheng Jianyong broke through the grotto’s sealed boulder and Han Xing found a pale gold mask.

• Han Xing made the goblins sign Contract Scrolls, then merged their sky island after the system declared it free of hostile creatures.
• Han Xing explained that the Goblin Seer had offered the location of a Goddess of Wealth mask that could sense Resource Sky Islands in exchange for sparing the goblins.
• Han Xing chose a large-footed goblin to guide the group through the underground tunnels to the Seer's Grotto.
• Cheng Jianyong ignored the warning about the sealed boulder and pushed it aside despite the restriction’s red-light backlash.
• Han Xing entered the grotto and picked up the pale gold mask resting on a stone platform.

Han Xing bound Waukeen's Mask and spent vast resources to unlock its three powerful revelations. He then led the group to the Goblin Treasury, where Big Toe explained that only someone recognized by the goblins could open its guarded gate, and Han Xing realized his Lord Contracts already made him their acknowledged master.

• Han Xing bound the Mask of Waukeen's Treasures, gaining 10 Luck, and explained its sacrifice-based revelations to his team.
• Han Xing sacrificed Spirit Cores, Eternal Gold Ingots, and Philosopher's Stones to unlock Eye of Treasures, Eye of Wishes, and Eye of the Gods.
• Han Xing shared the mask's effects with his teammates, then asked Big Toe to lead them to the Goblin Treasury.
• Cheng Jianyong failed to force open the treasury's iron gates, and Big Toe revealed that brute force would trigger a formation that could destroy the treasury.
• Han Xing realized the gates required recognition by the Goblin race and concluded that his Lord Contracts already gave him that standing.

Han Xing opened the goblin vault and claimed its enormous stockpile of rare materials, then put the goblins to work mining Rhythmic Black Iron for his plans to acquire an Ancient Weapon Blueprint. He activated the Mask of Waukeen's Treasures to locate resource-rich floating islands, and its vision revealed a colossal light cluster far brighter than Myriad Stars City.

• Han Xing entered the goblin vault and found vast quantities of rare gems and metals, including thousands of Shining Terra Stones needed for the Oracle Throne.
• Han Xing sent Wolf Riders to transport the vault's treasures to Myriad Stars City, then settled the goblins in his territory and ordered them to mine Rhythmic Black Iron.
• Hundreds of thousands of goblins established an efficient mining and smelting operation that produced Rhythmic Black Iron for Han Xing's planned trade with the Dwarven Race.
• Han Xing gathered his companions to explore more of the floating island and activated both special effects of the Mask of Waukeen's Treasures at great cost.
• Using the mask's vision, Han Xing mapped resource-rich floating islands and spotted a light cluster dozens or perhaps hundreds of times brighter than Myriad Stars City.

Han Xing followed the Eye of Wishes to a small, dangerous sky island and discovered an ancient temple dedicated to the God of Light. A System Prompt revealed the history of the Era of Myriad Gods and the Dark Ages, leaving Han Xing and his companions to confront the gods’ connection to humanity before they searched the temple for more clues.

• Han Xing used the Eye of Treasures to locate a mysterious sky island marked by the Eye of Wishes and brought Myriad Stars City there.
• Han Xing and his companions sensed danger on the small island, then learned from a System Prompt that it held an ancient Lost Temple.
• Su Xiaoyang found the temple entrance beneath rubble, and Cheng Jianyong cleared the stone pillars blocking it.
• Han Xing entered the temple, triggering a System Prompt that described the Era of Myriad Gods, the gods’ war, and the Dark Ages.
• The group recognized that the temple belonged to the God of Light, whose past actions against humanity made them wary, and they entered to search for secrets.
