Chapter Summaries

Meng Chao and Lü Siya led a group of Armored Airships to plug a breach in the human defenses, where Meng Chao fought through the Beast Tide to silence the Void-Rending Demon Eyes. He left the enemy creatures screaming after unleashing Fear Bomb on them.

• Meng Chao and Lü Siya steered their Qingtian Corporation Armored Airship toward a gap in the human defensive lines, and more than a dozen other airships joined them.
• The Armored Airships fired on the approaching monsters, but Falcon-type monsters slashed their gasbags while Void-Rending Demon Eyes disrupted their aim with Mind Attacks.
• Meng Chao cut down a Falcon-type monster and crippled a griffin-type monster with his Golden Tooth Battle Blade as Transcendents repaired the airships and fought off attackers.
• Meng Chao sprinted across an airship's gasbag and leapt toward the Void-Rending Demon Eyes, evading or disrupting the attacks of the falcons and griffins around him.
• Meng Chao severed the Void-Rending Demon Eyes' tentacles and used Fear Bomb to overwhelm their minds, leaving the creatures shrieking.

Meng Chao tore through the Void-Rending Demon Eyes disrupting the human airships, then used the Golden Tooth Battle Blade to cripple the Beast Tide’s vanguard and slow its advance. He left the defensive line with crucial time to regroup as commanders recognized the source of the gaps.

• Meng Chao killed Void-Rending Demon Eyes and broke the aerial interception net, allowing the Armored Airships’ shooters to fire accurately again.
• Meng Chao rode an Abyss Demon Eye into the Beast Tide and landed before the human defensive line.

• Human warriors cheered Meng Chao, and frontline commanders recognized that incompatible training and command systems had caused gaps in the defensive line.

Meng Chao helped the Steel Defense Line blunt the beast tide, then charged into the monsters and carved a bloody path through them, inspiring Dragon City’s soldiers. As the tide began to falter, the Tyrant Mammoths launched a coordinated charge that restored the monsters’ resolve.

• Meng Chao’s reinforcements filled the gaps between the defensive lines with weapons and vehicles, while firepower and capture nets stalled the Sword Halberd Demon Pigs and Ironclad Rhinoceroses.

• The Tyrant Mammoths used their combined War Stomp to trample nearby monsters and rally the beast tide.

Meng Chao rode a Tyrant Mammoth into the Beast Tide and used his strength, blade, and mind attack to turn it against another Tyrant Mammoth. By disrupting the mammoths’ Bloodthirsty War Songs, he broke the Beast Tide’s momentum and left its advance stopped by fleeing monsters and piled-up corpses.

• Meng Chao rode the Tyrant Mammoth through the Beast Tide, slowing its advance until fleeing monsters and accumulated corpses blocked the Tyrant Mammoths.

Meng Chao helped turn the Beast Tide into a rout, then joined Dragon City's forces in encircling the monsters around Burning Island. As the army prepared to deal with the trapped beasts, Blade Dancer Gu Jianbo called him to help confront a Doomsday Beast.

• Meng Chao drove a Tyrant Mammoth through the Beast Tide, then spared it alive so it could potentially be captured and repurposed.

• Dragon City's forces blocked the monsters' retreat into the primeval forest and sealed the super Beast Tide inside an iron encirclement.
• Blade Dancer Gu Jianbo contacted Meng Chao and asked him to help deal with a Doomsday Beast.

Meng Chao joined the siege of a Doomsday Beast in a valley, where he witnessed God Realm Expert Zong Yue’s domain and recognized the enemy as Demon Mountain. The battle was underway as Demon Mountain attacked Zong Yue with poison and swarms of mosquitoes.

• Gu Jianbo told Meng Chao that Dragon City’s forces had surrounded more than ten weakened Doomsday Beasts, and invited him to observe the siege in the nearby valley.
• Meng Chao accepted a special mission approved by Zong Yue and flew toward the valley on an Unpowered Glider.
• Meng Chao passed through forests where human forces were capturing monsters and reached the valley, where Zong Yue’s domain strengthened the defenders.
• Meng Chao saw two heads emerge from the living hillock and recognized the Doomsday Beast as Demon Mountain.

Meng Chao watched Black Tortoise Zong Yue battle the Doomsday Beast Demon Mountain while Gu Jianbo and the other instructors held back. Zong Yue gained the upper hand but struggled to break through Demon Mountain’s tough defenses, and a new threat approached from the blood-red southwestern sky.

• Meng Chao learned that Demon Mountain could control and strengthen plants and insects, and saw it emerge to fight Zong Yue.
• Meng Chao joined Gu Jianbo, Li Yingzi, and the other instructors on a mountainside platform to observe the battle.

• Zong Yue struck Demon Mountain’s back and repeatedly attacked its exposed flesh while evading its tails, but he could not seriously wound it.
• Gu Jianbo warned Meng Chao that something was coming and watched the blood-red southwestern sky.

Meng Chao witnessed the Dragon Might Cannon and thirty other Train Cannons devastate Demon Mountain after Zong Yue lured the Doomsday Beast into a vulnerable transformation. As the bombardment left Demon Mountain nearly helpless, Meng Chao believed humanity’s era had begun to eclipse the monsters.

• Demon Mountain struck Zong Yue and began transforming, while Meng Chao feared the old Dean was in danger.

• Thirty Crimson Dragon Army Train Cannons bombarded Demon Mountain as its damaged Life Magnetic Field made it an easy target.
• Meng Chao watched Demon Mountain struggle under the bombardment and thought the era of monsters was ending.

After the Dragon Might Cannon crippled Demon Mountain, Meng Chao joined the experts finishing off the Doomsday Beast and helped Zong Yue target its central nervous system. Demon Mountain finally froze and died after its spinal cord was pierced and frozen.

• The Dragon Might Cannon's barrage left Demon Mountain gravely wounded, and Li Yingzi signaled that the experts could move in.
• Zong Yue emerged from hiding and attacked Demon Mountain's exposed bones while Gu Jianbo, Li Yingzi, and Meng Chao joined the assault.

• Demon Mountain convulsed and rolled through the valley before its Life Magnetic Field faded and it died.

After Dragon City killed the Doomsday Beast Demon Mountain, Meng Chao helped harvest its remains and grew stronger by absorbing its energy and spending his Contribution Points. The Monster Civilization’s offensive collapsed, leaving humanity to hunt down the fleeing monsters.

• Li Yingzi signaled the harvesters, and Meng Chao joined the instructors in dismantling Demon Mountain and preserving its valuable parts.
• Meng Chao meditated beside Demon Mountain’s heart, whose lingering soul helped guide the Hell Blood in his veins into fusion with his Life Magnetic Field.
• Meng Chao spent 550,000 Contribution Points on the Nine Dragons Divine Seal and Celestial Overlord Shattering Star Strike, advancing his cultivation and technique mastery.
• Dragon City’s forces killed or captured nearly all the Doomsday Beasts, while three wounded ones escaped into the Monster Mountain Range.
• After the Doomsday Beasts fell, the Beast Tide routed, and the Crimson Dragon Army began hunting down the scattered monsters rather than bombarding them.

After Dragon City’s costly victory over Monster Civilization, the city held a grand parade one month later to confirm its triumph and honor its fighters. Bai Jiacao watched from the VIP stands with her parents, eagerly waiting to see Meng Chao as the parade began.

• After the battle, warriors harvested monster spoils and cultivated on the battlefield, with many breaking through to higher realms.
• Meng Chao saw the mist clear from the Monster Mountain Range and imagined humanity crossing into the wider world beyond it.
• Over the following month, humanity cleared the battlefield and handled the aftermath while victory reports and heroic stories reached Dragon City’s citizens.
• One month after the battle, Dragon City held an unprecedented Victory Parade amid the destruction and losses caused by the invasion.
• Bai Jiacao sat with her parents in the VIP stands, reflected on her own growing strength and wartime fighting, and cheered as the army approached.

During Dragon City’s Victory Parade, citizens welcomed the battle-scarred Blade Edge Squad and the newly deployed Black Horn Battle Armor formation as symbols of the Crimson Dragon Army’s legacy and renewed strength. The parade continued with the army’s tanks and Rune Machinery, highlighting how its standing had risen after its victory on the outskirts of Dragon City.

• The Blade Edge Squad led the parade beneath its bloodied broken-saber flag, drawing reverent cheers from the citizens.
• The chapter recounted how the Blade Edge Squad preserved the regular army’s legacy, became the Crimson Dragon Army’s core, and repeatedly fought on the most dangerous battlefields.
• A formation of troops wearing Type 56 heavy Powered Armor marched past as citizens cheered the Black Horn Battle Armor’s battlefield potential.
• Main Battle Tank and Rune Machinery formations followed to an enthusiastic welcome.
• The parade reflected the Crimson Dragon Army’s improved position after its victory, contrasting with its former dependence on the Survival Committee and its lack of resources.

The Crimson Dragon Army emerged as the greatest beneficiary of Dragon City's victory, using its numbers to gather vast quantities of monster spoils while the Super Enterprises claimed the highest-quality trophies. As the victorious forces paraded through the city, Bai Jiacao spotted her big brother among the Youth Guards.

• The Crimson Dragon Army's past failures and dependence on Peerless Experts gave way to rapid growth after Meng Chao's rebirth and its control of key resources.
• During the battle, the Crimson Dragon Army's huge numbers let it resist Beast Tides, occupy monster nests, and collect more spoils than any other force.
• Superstar Resources and other military contractors harvested and processed millions of tons of monster materials for the Crimson Dragon Army.
• Peerless Experts from the Super Enterprises displayed their strength in the parade, having slain most of the Doomsday Beasts and gained new insights from the battles.
• Students from Dragon City University and the Five School Alliance marched as Youth Guards, and Bai Jiacao pointed out her big brother in their formation.

Meng Chao represented Agricultural University atop Demon Mountain’s enormous skeleton at the Victory Parade, drawing public attention as a living Blood Badge holder. While the celebration made Dragon City’s apparent victory over Monster Civilization seem complete, Meng Chao wondered where the other demon gods had gone.

• Meng Chao’s parents spotted him standing prominently in the Agricultural University formation as its Youth Guards paraded with Biochemical Warbeasts and Demon Mountain’s skeleton.
• Meng Chao stood atop Demon Mountain’s skull wearing his medals, and citizens and cameras focused on him when they recognized his rare Blood Badge.
• Publicity organized by Meng Chao and Lü Siya had already spread his heroic reputation, and the cheering crowd nearly overwhelmed his efforts to remain composed.
• Meng Chao reflected that Dragon City still faced the coming Otherworld war and questioned whether Monster Civilization had truly been defeated.
• Meng Chao concluded that the battle’s outcome seemed almost too perfect and wondered where the other demon gods had gone.

After Dragon City’s victory over Monster Civilization, Meng Chao considered the fate of the remaining Demon Gods and the competing visions for Dragon City’s future. The Colonization and Homeland Factions argued over whether to expand beyond the Monster Mountain Range immediately or spend years recovering and resolving internal problems first.

• Meng Chao wondered why the remaining Five Demon Gods and the Monster Mastermind had not appeared in the decisive battle, but set the mystery aside after concluding that humanity had won.
• Meng Chao learned through Lü Siya that the Nine Super Enterprises had already planned armored airship expeditions beyond the Monster Mountain Range, strengthening the Colonization Faction’s push for expansion.
• The Colonization Faction argued that Dragon City had to keep its war machine running to meet financial obligations, secure resources, and prepare for threats elsewhere in the Otherworld.
• The Homeland Faction argued that Dragon City needed ten to twenty years to recover, absorb Monster Civilization’s legacy, reduce social divisions, and potentially establish contact with Earth.
• God Realm Experts and the Nine Super Enterprises favored colonization, while many lower-level Transcendents and small-business owners favored protecting the homeland until they knew how the benefits of expansion would be divided.

Meng Chao weighed his ties to the Homeland Faction against his conviction that Dragon City had to expand into the Otherworld before a coming war, while also learning from the collapse he remembered from his previous life. He planned to strengthen his influence and Superstar Resources over the next year, leaving his immediate strategy centered on cultivation, reconstruction, and biochemical technology.

• Meng Chao recognized that his poverty, the Fallen Star Society’s grassroots membership, and his work with Blue Homeland had tied him closely to the Homeland Faction.
• Meng Chao concluded that Dragon City had only half a year to a year to digest Monster Civilization and claim a foothold on the Otherworld Continent before the wider war began.
• Meng Chao recalled how corporate self-interest and unresolved divisions had weakened Dragon City in his previous life, and decided that Super Enterprises needed a counterbalancing force.
• Meng Chao planned to gain greater influence by improving his strength, using reconstruction projects to earn Contribution Points, and pursuing the Five-Star Spirit Vision Realm.
• Meng Chao focused on expanding Superstar Resources and its biochemical-modulation business, relying on Xie Xiaofeng’s management and Gao Ye’s technology.

Meng Chao assessed the allies and institutions he could rely on, from the Fallen Star Society to Agricultural University and the Dragon City Secret Police, as he prepared to explore the Otherworld. He planned to use Nest City’s reconstruction to unite his supporters, raise funds, recruit experts, and launch an exploration team within a year.

• Meng Chao backed the Fallen Star Society’s growth and considered its plan to pool resources for gifted members, while Qin Hu built influence as a representative of ordinary people.
• Zong Yue prepared to step down from Agricultural University, where Jiang Ming and Li Yingzi were leading candidates to succeed him; Meng Chao wanted Li Yingzi to take charge.
• Meng Chao planned to strengthen cooperation with the Bureau of Anomalous Beasts and give Shen Yupeng credit for capturing bounty criminals to help him advance in the Dragon City Secret Police.
• Meng Chao resolved to use Nest City’s reconstruction to unite his allies, raise funds, recruit powerful team members, and form an Otherworld exploration team within a year.
• Meng Chao planned to modify existing Armored Airships to reach nearby locations he believed could change the course of the Another World War.

After Dragon City’s victory parade, Meng Chao returned home for a meal with his family and sparred with Bai Jiacao to gauge her unusual combat instincts. He tested whether danger would awaken the Crossed Cross Eye Tattoo associated with her future as the Black Night Witch, but no mark appeared, leaving her fate uncertain.

• Meng Chao reflected on how the new victory monument contrasted with the memorial he remembered from his previous life.
• Meng Chao shared a home-cooked meal with Bai Suxin, Meng Yishan, and Bai Jiacao, who eagerly questioned him about his battles and challenged him.
• Meng Chao took Bai Jiacao to a room and agreed to spar using only physical abilities and basic skills.
• Meng Chao recognized Bai Jiacao’s fierce instincts and unleashed a burst of Baleful Intent, frightening her during their fight.
• Meng Chao checked the back of Bai Jiacao’s hand for the Crossed Cross Eye Tattoo, but found no sign of it.

Meng Chao trained with Bai Jiacao and urged her to pursue early admission to Dragon University's Martial Arts Department. Their conversation turned to whether Lü Siya would become his wife, and Bai Jiacao ended by suggesting he might prefer Su Mu Lian instead.

• Meng Chao checked Bai Jiacao for the Crossed Cross Eye Tattoo but found no sign that her Witch Bloodline had awakened.
• Bai Jiacao wondered why Meng Chao was so much stronger than her, and he encouraged her to take the National College Entrance Examination early.
• Bai Jiacao said she wanted to join Dragon University's Martial Arts Department, and Meng Chao agreed to ask about its special recruitment requirements.
• Bai Jiacao asked whether Lü Siya would become Meng Chao's sister-in-law, explaining that their mother wanted to know about his romantic prospects.
• Meng Chao insisted he and Lü Siya were only close friends and partners, but Bai Jiacao suggested he preferred the gentler Su Mu Lian.

Meng Chao and Bai Jiacao discussed the strange connection between Meng Chao and Su Mu Lian, while he insisted that romance could wait until after cultivation and rebuilding Dragon City. He then used Su Mu Lian’s public profile and the plight of Leprosy Village to build support for reconstructing Nest City and other poor districts, where the new scarcity was skilled labor rather than space or resources.

• Bai Jiacao told Meng Chao that Su Mu Lian seemed unusually familiar with him and subtly hostile toward Lü Siya, deepening his suspicions about Su Mu Lian’s hidden past.
• Meng Chao dismissed his sister’s matchmaking and urged her to prioritize cultivation, while asking her to tell their mother that he was a carefree playboy.
• Meng Chao promoted Su Mu Lian as Nest City’s spokesperson, and her accounts of helping Leprosy Village won her widespread public support and donations for its residents.
• Citizens used Su Mu Lian’s story to criticize the conditions in Leprosy Village and demand improvements to Nest City, slums, and old residential districts.
• The Monster Civilization’s defeat had expanded Dragon City’s access to land and resources, making skilled workers scarce and reconstruction a means to attract and cultivate labor.
