Chapter Summaries

Dongfang Mingxing and the other leaders escaped with some national weapons, but Ban Ye Shu captured Heavenly Mad Beast and Xian Xian Yu Shou trapped thousands of enemy players inside a Spatial Barrier. Ban Ye Shu and Chang He Luo Ri began slaughtering the trapped force, leaving the Misty Pavilion alliance poised to claim many national weapons.

• Dongfang Mingxing ordered nearby survivors to collect national weapons before teleporting away, while Ban Ye Shu and his reinforcements arrived too late to catch them.
• Ban Ye Shu spotted Heavenly Mad Beast lingering to grab two national weapons and captured him, hoping to obtain the Summoner's Heart.
• Xian Xian Yu Shou brought reinforcements through a Space Teleportation Gate and cast Spatial Barrier, trapping several thousand enemy players without Dongfang Shitian and the other top experts.
• June Flying Snow and Zhi Yue concluded that the trapped force could not withstand Ban Ye Shu and Chang He Luo Ri, and San Mei Shi estimated they could claim at least twenty national weapons.
• Ban Ye Shu released Heavenly Mad Beast and attacked the trapped players with Area of Effect Skills while Chang He Luo Ri and the others helped overwhelm them.

Yan Hua Yi Leng’s group resisted Dongfang Shitian’s assault with taunts, cavalry, and Ye Luo’s return, then brought in fresh forces and siege firepower to turn the local battle in Misty Pavilion’s favor. The fight remained underway, but Dongfang Shitian’s isolated attackers were increasingly vulnerable without their priests.

• After Xian Xian Yu Shou cast Spatial Barrier, Ban Ye Shu joined Chang He Luo Ri in attacking the enemies trapped inside it.
• Dongfang Shitian brought elite cavalry to help his experts charge Yan Hua Yi Leng’s group, while Hei Bai Qi and Jian Ba used taunts to intercept many of them.

• Ye Luo and the returning Misty Pavilion experts blocked the attackers, rescued captured allies, and enabled Space Element Players to teleport more people to safety.
• Yan Hua Yi Leng’s forces used Group Purify Scrolls and Change Heaven and Earth, summoned fresh elites, and deployed Mobile Magic Crystal Cannons.
• Misty Pavilion’s control skills and attacks overwhelmed Dongfang Shitian’s advancing group, which had become separated from its priests.

The Misty Pavilion alliance gained the upper hand and forced Dongfang Shitian’s group to retreat to Alliance City, where both sides prepared for the next move. Ye Luo and the others cleared the battlefield while the enemy alliance reinforced its defenses.

• Misty Pavilion used priests, teleportation, and Group Blessing Scrolls to strengthen its forces and pressure Dongfang Shitian’s group.
• Dongfang Mingxing and Night Rain Misty ordered a retreat, and Space Element Players teleported Dongfang Shitian and the other key experts back to Alliance City.
• The Dongfang Family and its allies reinforced Alliance City with millions of elite players but held back from pursuing Misty Pavilion.
• Ye Luo and his allies finished off enemies left behind and collected spoils, while San Mei Shi estimated that Xiao Shu’s efforts had secured at least twenty national artifacts.

Ye Luo’s group assessed the gains from their attack on the Dongfang Family and planned how to keep widening their advantage before the Mysterious Mission began. Ban Ye Shu’s team collected thirty-two National Weapons, leaving Misty Pavilion Alliance stronger as the conflict continued.

• Ye Luo said the operation had widened Misty Pavilion Alliance’s advantage, though the Enemy Alliance had wisely refused to pursue them.
• Ye Luo’s Elite Squad kept harassing the Enemy Alliance by killing Defending NPCs, destroying Siege Weaponry, and occasionally killing players.
• Yan Hua Yi Leng warned that trapping National Weapon holders with Spatial Barriers would be difficult, but agreed ambushes could still target ordinary elites.
• Ye Luo and Zuo Shang Qin Xin said the Mysterious Mission was unlikely to be triggered soon because clearing it would become harder for weaker players.
• Ban Ye Shu’s group collected the dropped equipment and tallied thirty-two National Weapons from the battle.

Ban Ye Shu reported that Misty Pavilion had obtained thirty-two national weapons, including the Nation Suppressing Summoner's Heart, and the alliance distributed equipment to strengthen its members. Yan Hua Yi Leng ordered them to continue harassing the Enemy Alliance while others pursued missions and the Ultimate Trial.

• Ban Ye Shu revealed that the thirty-two national weapons included two high-grade weapons and the Nation Suppressing Summoner's Heart, which Zhi Yue could equip.
• Ban Ye Shu distributed the weapons; Zhi Yue equipped the Summoner's Heart, other summoners received two pieces, and ranged players selected suitable equipment.
• Breaking Waves Riding Wind and Hei Bai Qi urged the alliance to keep attacking the weakened Enemy Alliance.
• Yan Hua Yi Leng assigned some members to continue Elite Squad ambushes while others pursued City of Hope missions or led the main force on Instance Missions.
• Yan Hua Yi Leng also directed members to form teams, use Combination Equipment Awakened Skills, and undertake the Ultimate Trial.

Ye Luo and the Misty Pavilion alliance raided Enemy Alliance strongholds while their members pursued quests and hunted targets outside City of Hope. Yan Hua Yi Leng approved expanding their ambushes and retaliating against foreign servers, while Ye Luo warned that others would provoke conflict regardless.

• Ye Luo and Breaking Waves Riding Wind shifted their raids to other strongholds and targets, while Ban Ye Shu and Chang He Luo Ri focused on quests and scouting for Ancient Demon Gods.
• Ban Ye Shu described killing Enemy Alliance players who left City of Hope for quests, and June Flying Snow warned that Enemy Alliance experts were targeting their own questers too.
• Ban Ye Shu proposed counter-ambushing Enemy Alliance experts outside the city, and Breaking Waves Riding Wind supported sending reinforcements to seize their national weapons.
• Yan Hua Yi Leng agreed to expand the ambushes and ordered the alliance to strike back if foreign servers attacked Chinese players.
• June Flying Snow worried that retaliation could trigger a national war, but Ye Luo said other players would provoke one whether or not they acted.

Chinese Server’s growing disadvantage against the Foreign Servers prompted God of Wine Dukang and Feng Xing to convene a Celebrity Ranking meeting. The leaders debated how to respond, while rejecting Dongfang Shitian’s faction’s call for an all-out offensive that could trigger a national war.

• Ye Luo and the Misty Pavilion alliance continued attacking the Enemy Alliance, improving their strength through missions and other activities while Dongfang Mingxing’s spies stirred up clashes with Foreign Servers.
• As Ye Luo and Breaking Waves Riding Wind were drawn into defending the City of Hope, Dongfang Shitian’s group gained room to strengthen itself, though Misty Pavilion’s overall gains remained greater.
• Foreign Server forces increasingly targeted Chinese Server, and the deaths of several Chinese Server experts convinced God of Wine Dukang and Feng Xing that the situation had to change.
• God of Wine Dukang called a Celebrity Ranking meeting and argued that Chinese Server should send more forces to reclaim its position at the City of Hope.
• Dongfang Shitian’s allies urged Chinese Server to wipe out the Foreign Server forces, but Yao Yue Ju Bei and others warned that doing so could trigger a national war.

The guild leaders debated how many forces to station in the City of Hope while balancing the threat from the Major Servers against the Ancient Demon God. They agreed to send ten percent of each major guild’s Dual Profession players and rely on top experts to provide support, leaving the Chinese server prepared to respond without deploying all its strength.

• Dongfang Shitian’s group urged the guilds to move all their forces to the Land of Hope, but God of Wine Dukang and others rejected the proposal.
• Yan Hua Yi Leng argued that the guilds needed to keep forces available to defend their residences from the Ancient Demon God.
• God of Wine Dukang proposed sending only part of the guilds’ strength, with elites left behind to grow stronger through Instance Missions.
• Yan Hua Yi Leng recommended that each guild send ten percent of its Dual Profession players and use top experts to support them and target influential Major Server players.
• Dongfang Mingxing and Night Rain Misty agreed, and God of Wine Dukang finalized the plan; Ye Luo and Breaking Waves Riding Wind also agreed to patrol and provide support.
• San Mei Shi and Ye Luo explained that the threat posed by top Chinese experts would deter the Major Servers from starting a national war prematurely.

Ye Luo and the others concluded that their Elite Squad and the Chinese server’s fortified guild territories could deter the Major Servers from starting a national war. They deployed slightly more than ten percent of their Dual Profession experts to the City of Hope, while Dongfang Mietian’s group realized that a large-scale war was now extremely unlikely.

• Breaking Waves Riding Wind and San Mei Shi agreed that the Major Servers would hesitate to attack because Ye Luo and the other super experts could ambush their leaders, while capturing Chinese guild territories would demand enormous resources and casualties.
• June Flying Snow worried that Dark Night and Tokyo Myth might turn against the Chinese server, but Ban Ye Shu argued that they would be targeted if they attacked as members of the Chinese server.
• Ye Luo said that if Tokyo Myth and his group returned to their own servers, the Misty Pavilion alliance could exploit the Enemy Alliance’s reduced Combination Equipment Awakened Skills, though Breaking Waves Riding Wind thought they would likely stay to restrain China.
• Ye Luo and the others sent slightly more than ten percent of their Dual Profession experts to the City of Hope and remained ready to teleport there if trouble arose.
• After their meeting, Dongfang Mietian and his companions learned from Night Rain Misty and Great Desert Lone Smoke that the Major Servers lacked a realistic chance of capturing enough Chinese guild territories to trigger a national war.

The Chinese server’s leaders judged that the Major Servers would hesitate to launch a national war, while the City of Hope offered both a way to strengthen their forces and a chance to draw enemies into battle. Ye Luo and his group ambushed English and French Server experts, capturing two players with national weapons, and set their sights on luring in more powerful targets.

• Dongfang Mingxing and Night Rain Misty concluded that the Chinese server’s stronger top experts made a national war unlikely, while Great Desert Lone Smoke argued that the City of Hope and the coming Mysterious Mission could help the other alliances grow stronger.
• Dongfang Mingxing and Night Rain Misty sent players and spies to provoke battles in the City of Hope, drawing Hero Wuming, Emperor's Hymn, Five-Colored Divine Bull, and other experts into the conflict.
• God of Wine Dukang and Feng Xing notified Ye Luo and other Chinese server experts to act, and Ye Luo teleported with his group to the battlefield where Ban Ye Shu and Chang He Luo Ri were waiting.
• Ye Luo and his allies surprised English and French Server players, including two national-weapon holders, while Never-Setting Dragon Shadow and Xiang Shui Mei Ren sent elite cavalry to attempt a rescue.
• Yan Hua Yi Leng ordered their cavalry to intercept the rescue force rather than use Spatial Barrier, hoping to lure Never-Setting Dragon Shadow, Xiang Shui Mei Ren, and other top enemies into a trap.

Ye Luo and his group turned the fighting around the City of Hope in the Chinese Server’s favor through Elite Squad sneak attacks, forcing the Major Servers to reconsider their confrontation. Yan Hua Yi Leng then guided the servers to an agreement to stop hunting one another and focus on quests.

• Ye Luo and his group captured English and French Server players, killed two who carried national weapons, and obtained four fourth-tier national weapons.
• Never-Setting Dragon Shadow and the other invited experts declined to rescue the captives, while Major Server experts attacked Chinese Server players elsewhere around the City of Hope.
• Ye Luo, Breaking Waves Riding Wind, Ban Ye Shu, and their allies reinforced the Chinese Server’s battlefields and killed many enemy experts, gradually gaining the upper hand.
• The Major Servers grew wary of Ye Luo’s group and the losses their national-weapon holders might suffer, and they began considering a withdrawal from the City of Hope.
• Yan Hua Yi Leng proposed peaceful coexistence against their common enemy, and the Major Servers agreed to stop hunting other servers’ players and concentrate on quests.

Yan Hua Yi Leng secured an agreement with the Major Servers so the Misty Pavilion Alliance could focus on the Enemy Alliance and improve its strength. Ye Luo and his allies then attacked the Dongfang Family and other Guild Alliances while Ban Ye Shu’s group hunted their players, leaving Dongfang Shitian’s forces unable to retaliate effectively.

• Yan Hua Yi Leng and the Major Servers agreed to avoid conflicts in the City of Hope as much as possible.
• San Mei Shi and Zuo Shang Qin Xin explained that the Enemy Alliance was the priority, while Ye Luo warned that fighting the Major Servers could bog the Misty Pavilion Alliance down.
• Yan Hua Yi Leng confirmed that the agreement did not cover the Enemy Alliance, so Ban Ye Shu and Chang He Luo Ri sent assassins to hunt its players.
• Ye Luo, Breaking Waves Riding Wind, and others attacked the Guild Headquarters of the Dongfang Family and other Guild Alliances while Ban Ye Shu’s group killed many of their players, including Dual Profession experts.
• Dongfang Shitian and his allies prepared to retaliate against Ban Ye Shu’s group, but Ye Luo and Breaking Waves Riding Wind attacked their headquarters again, forcing them to respond and allowing the hunters to continue operating.

Misty Pavilion’s alliance debated whether to enter the Demon Realm to hunt Ancient Demon Gods, but Ye Luo and others rejected the risky plan in favor of steadily building their strength. A system announcement that Polar Silver Wolf’s team had killed the North Sea Kraken reassured them that Ancient Demon Beasts remained outside the Demon Realm.

• Ye Luo and his allies continued using their superior mobility and growing strength to pressure the Enemy Alliance while avoiding unfavorable fights.
• Hei Bai Qi proposed sending an elite squad into the Demon Realm to trap and kill Ancient Demon Gods, but Yan Hua Yi Leng opposed the plan.
• Ye Luo warned that the Demon Realm’s entrance could be sealed, teleportation might not work there, and demon space techniques could break a Spatial Barrier.
• San Mei Shi and Ye Luo argued that Ancient Demon Gods were still being killed in the wild and through future missions, so the alliance should focus on safely increasing its strength.
• The system announced that Polar Silver Wolf’s team had killed the North Sea Kraken and earned major rewards, leaving June Flying Snow and the others relieved that Ancient Demon Beasts could still be found outside the Demon Realm.

After the North Sea Kraken’s defeat opened Extreme Ice Palace, servers rushed to claim its valuable monsters and resources, sparking widespread battles. Xiao Shu and Chang He Luo Ri scouted the map for Misty Pavilion, while Ye Luo advised the alliance not to join the crowded competition yet.

• After Polar Silver Wolf’s group killed an Ancient Demon God, June Flying Snow and the others realized Ancient Demon Gods remained available to hunt before the Mysterious Mission.
• The system announced that the North Sea Kraken’s defeat had opened Extreme Ice Palace, a new map for players who had completed their Ninth Advancement.
• Zuo Shang Qin Xin found Extreme Ice Palace on her system map, and Yan Hua Yi Leng sent Xiao Shu and Chang He Luo Ri ahead to investigate while the alliance continued its existing plans.
• Players from the Major Servers flocked to Extreme Ice Palace, where competition over valuable monsters escalated into frequent battles and player hunting.
• Xiao Shu and Chang He Luo Ri killed monsters and a Demon God Grade boss, obtaining valuable items including an Ice Pearl that permanently increased ice damage and resistance.
• When June Flying Snow urged everyone to enter Extreme Ice Palace, Ye Luo said they should wait because the overcrowded map made securing monsters inefficient.

Ban Ye Shu and his companions explored the Extreme Ice Palace and killed members of the Dongfang alliances while Ye Luo and Breaking Waves Riding Wind kept the enemy leaders occupied. Dongfang Shitian’s group considered retreating, but news of three Ancient Demon Gods forced them to weigh valuable rewards against the risk of an ambush.

• Yan Hua Yi Leng decided that the Misty Pavilion alliance would leave Ban Ye Shu and his companions in the Extreme Ice Palace while the others focused on weakening the enemy alliances.
• Ban Ye Shu and his companions gained equipment and quest rewards as they explored, avoided other major servers when possible, and killed members of the Dongfang alliances they encountered.
• Ye Luo and Ban Ye Shu’s groups attacked the Dongfang alliances on two fronts, leaving Dongfang Shitian’s group unable to help without risking a devastating clash.
• Dongfang Mingxing and Night Rain Misty advised moving their people to the City of Hope, but news arrived that their people had found three Ancient Demon Gods in the Extreme Ice Palace.
• Night Rain Misty warned that trapping the three Ancient Demon Gods with a Spatial Barrier would take too long and consume too many powerful skills, leaving Dongfang Shitian’s group with no safe plan to claim the rewards.

The Dongfang Family alliance feared that fighting three Ancient Demon Gods would leave them vulnerable to Misty Pavilion and other enemies, so they hesitated to attack. Dongfang Mingxing proposed joining forces with powerful players from other servers, and the groups agreed to split the rewards before fighting the bosses.

• Dongfang Mietian, Ouyang Feitian, Night Rain Misty, and Great Desert Lone Smoke explained why fighting the Ancient Demon Gods could expose their alliance to attacks and force them to spend too many Combination Equipment Awakened Skills.
• Dongfang Mingxing proposed recruiting top experts from other servers, and Night Rain Misty said their help would let the alliance defeat all three bosses while using fewer of its own skills.
• Dongfang Xiaotian and the others urged Tokyo Myth, Dark Night, and their group to contact Emperor's Hymn and Hero Wuming, and the foreign experts agreed to cooperate.
• Emperor's Hymn, Never-Setting Dragon Shadow, Xiang Shui Mei Ren, Hero Wuming, and the others arrived, and both groups agreed that Dongfang Shitian's alliance would receive half the drops and system rewards.

Dongfang Shitian's group allied with Never-Setting Dragon Shadow and other servers to fight three Ancient Demon Gods, expecting to kill them within the Spatial Barrier's ten-minute limit. Ye Luo's allies discovered the battle, but realized the combined forces were likely to finish in time, leaving them little chance to interfere.

• Dongfang Shitian and Never-Setting Dragon Shadow agreed to split the drops and rewards from the Ancient Demon Gods.
• Sakura Like Snow teleported Never-Setting Dragon Shadow's group to the bosses, and the allied players trapped the area with a Spatial Barrier and launched their attacks.
• Dongfang Shitian's group held back its own Combination Equipment Awakened Skills while three other skills bolstered the alliance's assault.
• Long Family and Fine Wine Family members discovered the battle and reported it, prompting Ban Ye Shu and Chang He Luo Ri to inform Yan Hua Yi Leng's group.
• Breaking Waves Riding Wind and others hoped to attack the bosses when the barrier fell, but Ban Ye Shu revealed that Emperor's Hymn and hundreds of super experts had joined Dongfang Shitian.
• San Mei Shi asked whether Dongfang Shitian had deliberately invited Never-Setting Dragon Shadow's group, and Zhi Yue questioned whether that distinction mattered.

Ye Luo and his allies determined that Dongfang Shitian had deliberately invited Never-Setting Dragon Shadow’s group to fight the Ancient Demon Gods, preserving the Enemy Alliance’s strength while securing more rewards. They attacked Alliance City to inflict losses during the enemy leaders’ absence, but planned to regroup after seven or eight minutes in case Dongfang Shitian returned.

• Ye Luo explained that Dongfang Shitian’s group likely invited Never-Setting Dragon Shadow’s group so they could conserve powerful skills and claim a larger share of the Ancient Demon Gods’ rewards.
• Ban Ye Shu concluded that the meeting was deliberate because Never-Setting Dragon Shadow’s group had not been near the BOSS and would have needed directions to reach it.
• Breaking Waves Riding Wind proposed raiding Enemy Alliance guild territories while Dongfang Shitian’s group was away, and Ye Luo warned that a Spatial Barrier would protect any Heart of the City long enough for them to return.
• Ye Luo charged onto Alliance City and used a Space Teleportation Gate to bring June Flying Snow, Ban Ye Shu, Chang He Luo Ri, and other allies over.
• Ye Luo’s group used Group Blessing Scrolls and more than a thousand elite cavalrymen to attack the defenders, while Space Element Players prepared Spatial Barriers to protect them and trap enemy cavalry.
• Yan Hua Yi Leng ordered everyone to tighten their formation and regroup after seven or eight minutes, before Dongfang Shitian’s group could return and bring reinforcements.

Ye Luo and his small elite squad harassed the Dongfang Family and its allied guilds while Dongfang Shitian’s group fought the Ancient Demon Gods, but the defenders’ invincible charges kept casualties low. As the enemy formations faltered, Ye Luo’s group began killing more players, while Dongfang Mingxing’s side stayed focused on the Ancient Demon Gods rather than returning to help.

• Ye Luo and his group destroyed siege weapons and killed defenders while Dongfang Mingxing ordered elite cavalry to charge them under Invincible Skills.
• Hei Bai Qi and June Flying Snow complained that the squad’s low numbers made it difficult to kill many enemies, and San Mei Shi argued they should save Spatial Barrier for after the Ancient Demon Gods fell.
• Ye Luo and Zuo Shang Qin Xin reminded the group that their alliance had time and other advantages, including continued ambushes and better economic prospects.
• As the cavalry’s coordinated charges weakened, Ye Luo’s group caught and killed more players, while Dongfang Mingxing’s side used Demon God Guards to reduce losses.
• Dongfang Mingxing and the other defenders continued fighting the Ancient Demon Gods instead of returning to support their allies.

Ye Luo’s group watched Dongfang Shitian and his allies kill Ancient Demon Gods while Misty Pavilion’s alliance searched for more. The enemy gained several National Weapons, and Ye Luo’s group wondered whether many more rewards were still to come.

• Dongfang Shitian’s group chose to keep fighting the Ancient Demon Gods instead of returning to defend their allies, allowing Ye Luo’s elite squad to continue killing players and destroying siege weapons.
• After the first Ancient Demon God fell, San Mei Shi and Ye Luo explained that Dongfang Shitian’s group could defeat the remaining ones more quickly by concentrating their forces.
• Zuo Shang Qin Xin reported that Dongfang Xiaotian and Fire Dance of Light had gained National Weapons, while the group decided to expand its search for Ancient Demon Gods and new maps.
• Dongfang Shitian’s group killed another Ancient Demon God, then defeated the last one and gained three more National Weapons, including a High-Grade one for Dark Night and a Low-Grade one for Amaterasu God.
• Ye Luo’s group noticed that the enemy had obtained only five National Weapons so far and guessed that Dongfang Shitian’s group had not yet checked its system rewards.
