Han Xing and his companions fought back the Blood Tide Monsters, but the Overlord Creature ordered a retreat and appeared poised to attack other survivors. Han Xing used a Territory Core Accelerator to make Starry Sky City overtake the horde, but the sudden acceleration sent him, Su Xiaoyang, and Zhang Lianmeng tumbling off the city wall.

• Han Xing and the other four survivors charged into the Blood Tide Army, easing the pressure on the Wolf Riders and killing thousands of monsters as Han Xing reached Level 26.

• Han Xing arrived as Blood Tide Monsters threatened the Trilobite survivors, destroyed thousands of them, and drove the army into retreat; the survivors recorded and shared the fight, revealing Xinghe’s identity to the Chat Channel.

• Han Xing’s Merit Points reached 34.32 million, and Cheng Jianyong asked whether they would exchange them for Haoyue Treasure Chests.

He equipped Zhang Lianmeng with the Genesis Heart, gave Shen Yun a Legendary Quicksand Shield, and ended eager to build his first flying troop camp once he found a Bigmouth Bird Totem.

• Han Xing examined Rhythmic Black Iron and the Ancient Wildfire Seed, then opened four Haoyue Treasure Chests and obtained a Quicksand Shield blueprint, a Genesis Heart, and a Bigmouth Bird Nest blueprint.

• Han Xing and Shen Yun agreed that Zhang Lianmeng needed the Genesis Heart's defensive benefits more, so Han Xing gave it to her.
• Han Xing gave Shen Yun the Quicksand Shield, whose Legendary effect reduced physical and magic damage for the team.
• Han Xing inspected the Bigmouth Bird Nest blueprint and realized its flying creatures could become his first flying troops, but the nest required a Bigmouth Bird Totem.

After assessing the Crimson Altars as the source of the Blood Tide, Han Xing decided he needed far more resources and firepower to destroy them. He announced in the Public Chat Channel that he had Blood Curse Antidotes, leaving survivors around the world eager to learn how to obtain them.

• Han Xing concluded that the Crimson Altars continuously produced Blood Tide Monsters and that humanity would need a massive force and overwhelming firepower to destroy them.

• Han Xing appeared in the Public Chat Channel for the first time and announced that he had potions capable of removing Blood Curse.
• Survivors around the world flooded the channel with questions and pleas after hearing Han Xing's announcement.

Han Xing revealed that he had only about one hundred thousand Blood Curse Antidotes and set their price at 10,000 Spirit Cores per bottle. He restricted sales to survivors with at least three layers of the Blood Curse, leaving the desperate survivors hopeful and the chapter ending with Luo Chan visibly moved.

• Zhou Huang muted the Chat Channel, gave Han Xing special permission to speak, and selected representatives from the Large Teams to ask questions.
• Han Xing posted the Blood Curse Antidote's attributes, confirming that it removed the curse and granted one hour of immunity.

• Han Xing restricted purchases to survivors with at least three layers of the Blood Curse, preventing hoarding and prioritizing those in greatest need.
• Luo Chan watched the exchange with intense emotion as a young girl beside her asked what was wrong.

Han Xing sold Blood Curse Antidotes to survivors and drew attention to his trading channel, then listed powerful equipment to exchange for rare blueprints and crafting-acceleration items. He traded all three Quicksand Shields for valuable Territory Building blueprints and a Bigmouth Bird Totem, while his Legendary Ice Burial Longbow remained listed.

• Han Xing listed one hundred thousand Blood Curse Antidotes for ten thousand Spirit Cores each, with a one-bottle limit and a requirement that buyers have Blood Curse level three or higher.

• Han Xing traded away all three Quicksand Shields for the selected items, expanding his collection of Territory Buildings.

Han Xing traded the Ice Burial Longbow for Paratrooper Commander’s cursed hammer, whose crafting-time reduction his talent made invaluable for mass-producing Blood Curse Antidote. He began a huge new production run and planned to use the resulting resources to build more Defense Towers and attack the altars, then searched for the team leaders who had come to his aid.

• Han Xing found Paratrooper Commander’s Cursed Craftsman's Hammer, which cut crafting time by four seconds but lowered equipment crafting success by 25%.
• Because Han Xing’s SSS-rank Talent prevented crafting failures, he agreed to trade the hammer for the Ice Burial Longbow, and Paratrooper Commander eagerly accepted.
• Paratrooper Commander showed the Orange-Tier weapon to his team, whose members celebrated the trade; Sun Erhu briefly mocked Han Xing before his teammates warned him to stay quiet.
• Han Xing calculated that the hammer could raise his Blood Curse Antidote production to more than 80,000 bottles a day and queued up 500,000 bottles for crafting.
• Han Xing planned to use the increased income to build more Defense Towers and target the altars, then searched his messages for the leaders of the teams that had come to rescue him.
