• Jin Tai demanded to know why they were not reinforcing Hengsha Island, and Wu Baipeng gestured toward the horizon and said they would rely on it.

After the allied sea forces captured Hengsha Island Military Region, Wu Baipeng ordered the defenders to consolidate behind the City-Level Defense Array and warned them that Ao Guang’s East Sea forces could pose an even greater threat.

Xu Kun ordered the coastal defense forces to hold their positions, deploy the Yi Dali Cannon, and retreat behind the City-Level Defense Array after their bombardment, while he stayed behind to defend the line. As the East Sea and river-sea allied armies closed in, Shang Kexi returned wounded, and Ao Guang arrived vowing to flood Jiangnan Base City and settle his vendetta with Kun.

• Xu Kun forced Shang Kexi to lead an interception and found that Shang Kexi's three War King subordinates were avoiding the front line rather than sharing his risk.

• Zhang Huangyan told Xu Kun that Jiangnan had activated the Fire Seed Project and that the eastern front had to hold while civilians evacuated.

As Ao Guang drove the tsunami toward the city under protection from a hidden Saint-level being, Xu Kun activated Wind God Domain, though its overload consequences were unknown.

• Yang Jian battered the Dragon Sovereign until he broke free and fled, then a dragon ancestor appeared and reached down to save him.

The Dragon Race ancestor’s avatar struck down Yang Jian after the Dragon Lord claimed Yang Jian had killed Black Dragon, while the attack shattered the Human Race’s confidence and drew objections from the Kun Lord. Yang Jian then revealed he had survived, wounded the Dragon Lord, and seized the avatar’s tail to drag it down into the Barbaric Lands.

• The Dragon Race ancestor’s giant claw crushed Yang Jian’s phantom eye, knocked away his lance, blasted the Howling Celestial Dog aside, and sent him flying as the Human Race watched the broadcast.
