• The men in black revealed their World Origin auras and threatened to kill everyone at the gathering, while the young elites initially dismissed them as no threat.
• Shen Hui and Ye Long found their phones had no signal, and Shen Hui urged everyone to leave the pavilion.

• Qingxue described Sadako as a dead-looking woman whose presence remained vivid in the mind even when her appearance could not be seen clearly.

Shen Hui’s Heroes fought off the gigantic creatures drawn to them in the fog while the men in black launched attacks across every district. At the World Association branch, Ye Yitian warned Chi Yan that Ye Long, Shen Hui, and Qingxue were at the Nine Phoenix Pavilion and could not be reached, so Chi Yan set out with him to check on them.

• Qingxue’s account of seeing Sadako discouraged Ye Long and the others from seeking out Shen Hui’s Heroes.
• Shen Hui ordered Siren Head to lure the gigantic creatures through the fog, and his Heroes killed them while Tomie multiplied to hold them back.
• The oppressive atmosphere drove some students toward mental breakdowns, but the battle between worlds began to turn in Shen Hui’s favor.

• After the World Association branch dealt with its attackers, Chi Yan and the others began dispatching reinforcements and investigating the invasions.
• Ye Yitian told Chi Yan that Ye Long, Shen Hui, and Qingxue were at the Nine Phoenix Pavilion and could not be reached, so Chi Yan went with him to find them.

Five men in black discovered that the giant creatures they had released had been slaughtered, then were driven into panic by Sadako and the fog. Ye Yitian and Chi Yan reached the Nine Phoenix Pavilion and found Shen Hui, Ye Long, Qingxue, and the surviving students emerging from the fog, but the cause of the carnage and the students’ condition remained unclear.

• Ye Yitian and Chi Yan saw giant creature corpses covering the ground and students sitting, screaming, laughing, or crying in distress.

After a wave of attacks by black-clad men struck every region, Shen Hui and the others sheltered at the World Association and considered who might be behind the violence. Chi Yan said the investigation was ongoing and asked Shen Hui and the others to recount what had happened.

• Shen Hui and the people he rescued took shelter at the World Association while those with severe mental trauma went to the hospital.
• Qingxue suggested that the attackers might be people who still worshipped the foreign races, and Ye Long and Shen Hui considered the idea plausible.

• Chi Yan praised Shen Hui for limiting the damage in their region and asked him and the others to explain what had happened.

After recounting the attack at the Nine Phoenix Pavilion, Shen Hui and the others learned that the black-clad attackers shared strange traits, while Chi Yan warned them to keep their theory secret. Back home, Shen Hui checked his worlds and found that Siren Head had reached level two, though its transformation was still underway.

• Shen Hui returned to his old residential complex, decided it seemed safer than busier areas, and checked on his Death World and the Land of New Life.
• Shen Hui found Siren Head wrapped in black mist as it underwent a transformation after reaching level two, then went to sleep.

After Siren Head’s upgrade, Shen Hui sensed that his Death World was close to becoming a level 3 world. He met Ye Long, Xiao Xiangyan, and Qingxue, learned that the recent disturbance was linked to the alien race, and returned home eager to inspect their gift as his world neared a breakthrough.

• Shen Hui returned home that evening and eagerly went to inspect the gift, hoping his Death World would reach level 3.

• Shen Hui drank two High-Level World Origin Potions, gaining 800 World Origin Power, then merged a World Origin Crystal into the Death World's fog and brought the world closer to a breakthrough.
• Shen Hui used the Common Origin Card, which added Common Origin Level 1 to the Death World's information panel, though he did not understand its effect.

• Thunder rumbled and the Death World shook violently as Slender Man's creation ended.

After the Death World reached level three, Shen Hui inspected Slender Man and discovered a Giant Objects bond between him and Siren Head. He used the remaining World Origin to expand the Land of New Life, and the survivors saw the fog outside begin to clear.

• The Death World’s growth stirred up its deathly powers, sending waves against the Land of New Life and terrifying its survivors before the disturbance subsided.
• Shen Hui learned that creating Slender Man had raised the Death World to level three and examined Slender Man’s abilities, including his existence in four-dimensional space.

• The child’s parents kept watch overnight and discovered two versions of their child before Slender Man appeared in a suit with a huge smile.

Shen Hui used fear and repeated encounters to establish Slender Man as an urban legend among the humans in the Land of New Life. The survivors passed down rules for avoiding him, and the chapter ended with each new generation fearing a creature most had never seen.

• The humans found a child sitting amid the bloodied remains of his family, clutching a drawing of Slender Man and the slaughter around him.
• Shen Hui accelerated time as further deaths, madness, a photograph, and a survivor’s account gave the humans information about Slender Man and how to avoid him.
• The survivors followed rules to avoid secluded places at dusk and night, watch their children, and flee without looking at Slender Man’s face.
• After five years without encounters, the survivors taught their children to fear Slender Man and obey the rules.
• When the Advanced Time Flow Rate Card ran out, Shen Hui saw that Slender Man had become an urban legend feared by the humans.

Shen Hui prepared for the Nascent World expedition while the threat of the people in black remained unresolved. He declined to team up after revealing that his world had reached Level Three, then joined the participants as Chi Yan arrived to lead them.

• Shen Hui saw fear and other emotions from the Land of New Life nourishing Slender Man, but decided to wait before turning more Heroes into urban legends.
• Shen Hui exhausted his mental energy, rested, and later traveled with Qingxue to the World Association, where they learned the people in black had vanished and the Association had captured some without gaining useful information.

Chi Yan led the Water District students into the Sea of Stars in person for a dangerous expedition and brought them to a World Association base. There, the presidents of the five districts gathered to compare this year’s combat record breakers, leaving Shen Hui curious about the Starry Sky Leaderboard as Chi Yan called Ye Long forward.
