Orlando instructed Hebrew on how to screen candidates for the Qixing Army, while Velin received word that an adventurer team recommended by Orlando wanted to see him. Velin visited Xuemya and tested her new mind spell, leaving Kyle to receive the Wind Chaser Adventure Squad in his place.

• Orlando told Hebrew to organize a three-stage assessment based on candidates’ professions and ranks, including combat tests, checks of faith and faction, and an oath of loyalty to the lord.
• A Low-rank Gold Knight informed Velin that the Wind Chaser Adventure Squad had arrived with a recommendation letter from Orlando, and Velin sent them to wait in the reception room.

Deep in the Solantia Death Forest, a black-robed Spellcaster searching for something was confronted by a High Elf who accused him of stealing a branch.

• Velin ordered the guards to take the Wind Chaser Adventure Squad to rest and discreetly monitor them until they reached the Solantia Death Forest.
• The squad discussed Velin’s intentions, then Grim and the others set aside their worries for an outdoor feast before leaving for Luohai Port City three days later.

• A High Elf shot at a black-robed Spellcaster in the Solantia Death Forest and confronted him over taking part of the elf’s branch.

The black-robed Spellcaster followed a powerful Death Force to a cavern and was drawn into the prison of an ancient Outer God, who took control of his body. The Outer God began preparing a blood sacrifice to summon meteorites and destroy the Chains of Rules that bound him.

• The black-robed Spellcaster sent three Intermediate Soul Intent undead to hold off the wounded High Elf, then continued deeper into the forest.

Velin learned that a descendant of the God of Dreams would appear in ten years and could help him relocate the entrance to the Soul Source Space, then sealed the information for later. Meanwhile, the black-robed spellcaster prepared a blood sacrifice to summon meteorites, while watchers in Ilyria's Outer Space marked the faith strand leading to his true self.

• The black-robed spellcaster used the remains of hundreds of thousands of magical beasts to build a bone altar and prepared to offer a blood sacrifice.
• Several beings in Ilyria's Outer Space marked the faith strand as it entered the Astral Realm, seeking the coordinates of the Outer God's true self.

An Outer God's avatar used borrowed power to summon a meteorite that devastated the Solantia Death Forest and weakened the Black Prism imprisoning it. Velin arrived at the crater and prepared to face the avatar alone, while Kyle noticed someone familiar approaching.

• The Outer God's avatar attached a sliver of power to a meteorite and sent it crashing toward the Solantia Death Forest.
• Lycas headed into the forest, while the Wind Chaser Adventure Squad left Grim behind and Grim stayed to catch magical beasts.

• The meteorite's impact cracked the Black Prism and broke apart the Chains of Rules sealing the Outer God's avatar.
• Velin drew Anansi's Sword and said he would test his training against the avatar, while Kyle spotted someone they knew nearby.

Velin and the Wind Chaser Adventure Squad witnessed the Black Prism reveal the heroes who had sacrificed themselves to seal a skeletal Outer God, while Celeste and Duke Moravia discussed how history could be erased. As the prism shattered, the Bone Giant’s seal broke and a vast undead army emerged.

• Velin greeted the Wind Chaser Adventure Squad, and they watched images of powerful figures sacrificing themselves to seal the skeletal Outer God inside the Black Prism.
• Velin, Celeste, and Duke Moravia lamented how the war’s history had been erased, while Velin privately resolved to challenge his grandfather after reaching Legendary.
• The Moon Elf Ranger sensed the World Tree’s aura near the Black Prism, and the White-haired Youth warned her not to overthink it.
• The Black Prism’s final shard broke away, freeing the Bone Giant as Death Force spread and revived countless buried bones.
• Hundreds of thousands of bone warriors formed in the deep pit, while the New Continent’s suppression limited the five Legendary bone warriors to High-tier Soul Intent power.

Velin fought White Bone’s avatars to sharpen his Law of Wood, while Kyle and Duke Moravia watched without interfering. After White Bone recovered its full power and learned that it had helped expose the Wernerheim World Cluster to Ilyria, it struck Velin down, prompting Kyle and Celeste to attack.

• Velin charged into the bone army, and Kyle empowered the Wind Chaser Adventure Squad while Celeste went to fight the Legendary-tier skeletons.

• White Bone’s attack sent Duke Moravia, Velin, the Moon Elf Ranger, the War Priest, and the blond youth into a spatial rift, while Kyle was badly wounded and Celeste rescued him.

• Velin chose the Law of Wood, found the unconscious Duke Moravia, and returned with him to Reality Space.
• Seeing Kyle and Celeste gravely injured, Velin prepared to fight, but the Blood Knight directed him to use a Black Spear from his Space Ring.
• Velin’s Black Spear severed White Bone’s Bone Sword, broke his laws, and destroyed three of his ribs, forcing White Bone to retreat several thousand meters.

Velin used the Black Spear’s power to erase White Bone’s incarnation, then destroyed the undead army White Bone had unleashed across the Solantia Death Forest. After reshaping the devastated land, Velin learned he could wield enough borrowed power to challenge ten World Legends, though the spear remained a weapon for dire battles.

• White Bone failed to restore his missing ribs, unleashed hundreds of millions of undead across the Solantia Death Forest, and sent them to attack nearby countries.

• Velin transformed the battlefield by filling the enormous pit with river water and covering the surrounding area with new growth.

He sailed beyond the New Continent with Xuemya, Kyle, and Celeste, and three days later prepared to face an opponent manifested by the Law of Wood.

• Velin gave Xing and the other inhabitants of his Demiplane crates of Shining Wine, while Cecilia watched Xing to keep him from stealing his wives' share.
• Velin left the Demiplane, and the Law of Wood urged him to travel beyond the New Continent as pale-green light caused plants across Okla City to grow and transform.

• The Star Moon Floating Ship carried Velin, Xuemya, Kyle, and Celeste north toward the open sea, while the Qixing Legion imposed martial law in Okla City and gathered the newly transformed Magic Potion Plants.
• Three days later, Velin used Anansi's Sight and rushed toward the Law of Wood as it began to take form above the sea, ready to face a powerhouse from the past.

Velin faced the Law of Wood’s trial and defeated its incarnation, Lord of Ten Thousand Woods Orion, who resembled his uncle. He earned the title [Lin] as a Continental Legend, and the Law of Wood’s radiance spread across the Xenops Subcontinent as his deeds became known.

• The Law of Wood summoned Lord of Ten Thousand Woods Orion, whose appearance shocked Velin, Kyle, Celeste, and Xuemya.
• Orion chose to test Velin with sword techniques, explaining that the Law of Wood had already acknowledged him and that the trial’s form was his choice.
