As Chen Fan absorbed the Origin energy from the battlefield, a surviving Human Race Martial Artist demanded that the defenders receive a share of the spoils.

Chen Fan arrived at the Human Race stronghold and entered a hall where Wei Yan and the other guardians assessed him.

• Ling Feng explained that the Nine-Star Land of Opportunity could appear in any of the thirty-six surviving Guardian Zones, and that each zone occupied by the Alien Races increased their chance of claiming it.

• Chen Fan and his companions entered the council hall, where Wei Yan and more than thirty Human Race Prodigies turned their attention to them.

At the Supreme Strategic Council, Ling Feng revealed Chen Fan’s extraordinary victories, changing the council’s view of the young Martial Artist. With the Human Race losing Guardian Zones, Wei Yan ordered a retreat to three high-level zones and sent Chen Fan’s squad to safety in Blackrock.

• Several council members doubted Chen Fan’s strength as Wei Yan reported the loss of the Heavenly Wolf, Vega, and Giant Gate Guardian Zones.

• Chen Fan revealed his fourth-turn cultivation and welcomed the approaching enemies as a chance to fight stronger opponents.

Chen Fan refused Wei Yan’s attempt to pull him out of Blackrock Guardian Zone, insisting that retreat would damage his path. As seven powerful Alien Races descended and surrounded the zone, Chen Fan faced them and asked who would die first.

• Wei Yan pleaded with Chen Fan to return to Tianshu, but Chen Fan said he would rather die fighting than retreat.
• Chen Fan severed the connection before Wei Yan could activate the forced teleportation command, and Wei Yan sent Ling Feng and Tianshu’s high-level fighters to reinforce Blackrock.

• Shen Xuan, Tuo Bashan, Su Qingyue, Xiao Ran, and Zhang Zhi resisted the pressure as Chen Fan stepped forward and challenged the seven invaders to come down and die.

• Xue Dingtian mocked Chen Fan as his companions struggled to survive and their defensive line nearly collapsed.

Chen Fan killed Xue Dingtian and Ye Xiao before they could use their attacks to threaten his injured companions, then eliminated the five Fifth-Turn Alien Races Experts who tried to flee. With the Blackrock Guardian Zone safe, he stood beside his surviving allies as his power rose from absorbing the two Origin Dao Seeds.

• Chen Fan saw that Shen Xuan, Tuo Bashan, Su Qingyue, Zhang Zhi, and Xiao Ran were badly injured but still alive, and decided to kill Xue Dingtian and Ye Xiao first.
• Xue Dingtian ordered the five Fifth-Turn Alien Races Experts to attack Chen Fan's companions, hoping to force Chen Fan to defend them.

• Shen Xuan, Tuo Bashan, Su Qingyue, Zhang Zhi, and Xiao Ran realized the Blackrock Guardian Zone was safe with Chen Fan there.

• Chen Fan proposed that Ling Feng help him seize all fifteen Alien Race Guardian Zones, arguing that humanity should not wait and gamble on the Nine-Star opportunity.

Chen Fan persuaded Ling Feng and Tianshu’s elites to abandon their defensive stance and attack the Alien Races. After choosing the dangerous Blazing Guardian Zone as their target, Chen Fan declared they would leave immediately to confront its Seventh-Turn guardian, Yan Xiao.

• When Ling Feng proposed planning and scouting first, Chen Fan said they would leave now.
