Chapter Summaries

Demon Dragon Fas explained how Gondor's advancing legions could punish Fang Yuan if he captured the remaining southern Military Territories, while the Mist Lords prepared to seize the coming divine spark. Fang Yuan reinforced Bloodline Castle, postponed further southern attacks, and recalled heroes to prepare for the battle at the Northern Territory Defense Line, where the war between the orcs and Gondor's humans began.

• Fas told the Mist Lords that Gondor's elites could trap Fang Yuan if he captured the two remaining southern Military Territories, and said the divine spark would appear within a day or two.
• Fang Yuan learned that the Beastmen Legion had isolated Bloodline Castle and that Christian and Aria planned to defend it before counterattacking; he ordered reinforcements sent through its Teleportation Array.
• Breni reported that Gondor's elites were moving toward the Northern Territory Defense Line and advised Fang Yuan not to attack the two southern Military Territories yet.
• Fang Yuan decided to hold the Baron Military Territory, assign it to the Demon Suppression Alliance, and recall Lilith, Breni, and other heroes to build up his reserve forces.
• The Green Sea Alliance reported that the war between the orcs and Gondor's humans had begun at the Northern Territory Defense Line.

Fang Yuan watched the battle between Gondor’s Human Nobles and the Beastmen through a live feed as the Beastmen appeared to suffer a crushing defeat. Just as Breni warned that their retreat was a trap, Fang Yuan discovered that a card in his hand contained coordinates for a divine spark.

• Fang Yuan ordered the Green Sea Alliance to set up an observation post and send him a live view of the front lines.
• Fang Yuan and his heroes watched Gondor’s king reveal a fourth-generation Arcane Armament before the two armies began fighting.
• Gondor’s forces broke through the Beastmen’s mixed legions, and the Beastmen central army began retreating.
• Breni warned Fang Yuan that the Beastmen were feigning defeat and that their retreat concealed a trap.
• Fang Yuan noticed a card in his hand and realized it contained coordinates for a divine spark.

Fang Yuan and Lilith concluded that the Divine Spark Coordinate pointed to a divine core in the Bloody Wasteland, separate from the Green Dragon King’s core. They realized the Mist Lord was provoking war to awaken and seize it, and Fang Yuan ordered his heroes to prepare to take it first.

• Fang Yuan showed Lilith the Mysterious-grade Astrology Card and revealed its coordinates, which pointed to the Bloody Wasteland southeast of the Windy Grassland.
• Fang Yuan and Lilith questioned whether the coordinate marked the Green Dragon King’s Divine Spark, since the Sub-deity Altar was said to be in the Norton Mountain Range.
• Lilith explained that Archmage City’s experiments with foreign Divine Sparks had caused gods to fail at fusion, and she inferred that the Green Dragon King had once possessed two conflicting divine cores.
• Lilith concluded that the Green Dragon King’s original core remained in the Sub-deity Altar while the Evil God’s core fell in the Bloody Wasteland after God of Hunt was killed.
• Fiona said a divine core awakened when power corresponding to its rule appeared, and Fang Yuan and Lilith realized the Mist Lord was using war between the grasslands and Gondor to awaken it.
• Fang Yuan ordered all heroes to return to the Lord’s Hall and prepare for a war to seize the divine core.

Fang Yuan organized an expedition to seize the divine spark in the Bloody Wasteland while assigning heroes to defend his territories. As his army set out through a newly built Outpost Camp, Demon Dragon Fas learned the divine spark had appeared and ordered the Mist Lords’ elite forces to teleport there.

• Fang Yuan learned from Aria that reaching the Bloody Wasteland by ordinary routes would take days, so he planned to establish an Outpost Camp and teleport his forces there.
• Fang Yuan and his heroes devised a plan to infiltrate the Bloody Wasteland, seize the divine spark before the Mist Lord, and retreat, with Fang Yuan keeping a forbidden spell and other measures as backup.
• Fang Yuan assigned Christian, Harold, Meg, Vivian, Hom, the Barbarian Priest, Dragon Babas, and others to defend his territories, then named the heroes and legions accompanying him.
• Fang Yuan sent thirty Demon-Breaking Warriors to verify the hired lord’s territory, built an orange Outpost Camp there, and ordered the expedition to set out.
• Demon Dragon Fas detected the divine spark’s location in the Bloody Wasteland and ordered the Mist Lords’ elite forces to enter it through a Teleportation Channel.

After Mike revealed that Fang Yuan had hired him to find a territory in the Bloody Wasteland, the Caesar Alliance’s Deputy Alliance Leader mistakenly concluded that the Dragon Nation was secretly pursuing a divine core there and began rallying opposition. Meanwhile, Fang Yuan waited for the divine core to emerge, only to learn that the Mist Legion was approaching his camp, while Demon Dragon Fas reacted in shock to finding him there.

• Mike bragged in a tavern about Fang Yuan’s lucrative mission, showed the Purple Ninth Tier Mobilization Orders, and identified Fang Yuan as his employer.
• The Deputy Alliance Leader questioned Mike, heard about a battle on the grasslands and a terrifying power near the Bloody Wasteland, and suspected the divine core would appear there.
• The Deputy Alliance Leader convinced himself the Dragon Nation had sent Fang Yuan to claim the divine core, then left to alert the Alliance Leader and other nations while ordering Mike kept under watch.
• Fang Yuan waited anxiously for the divine core as Lilith explained it needed more Aura of Slaughter, and Yasis reported that the grassland war was still underway.
• Yasis told Fang Yuan that the Mist Legion was less than three hundred kilometers from the camp, and Demon Dragon Fas emerged from a Teleportation Channel in alarm at hearing Fang Yuan was there.

Fang Yuan chose to use Lilith’s Doomsday Storm to destroy the Mist Legion and clear the way to the divine core. The storm annihilated the Mist Lords’ army in minutes, leaving Fas and the other two Mist Lords alive amid the wreckage.

• Aria, Fiona, Breni, and Yasis argued that Fang Yuan should either attack the Mist Legion together or wait, while Lilith warned that splitting their forces could leave Qing Feng and Vanas exposed to the Prisoner Tribe.
• Lilith proposed using her Forbidden Curse to eliminate the Mist Legion quickly, and Fang Yuan ordered her to cast Doomsday Storm.
• Fas ordered the Mist Lords to prepare their legions, use their high-tier items, and have the Demon Dragon summon Frost Rain while the undead scouted ahead.
• Lilith completed her chant, and a thousand enormous tornadoes formed across the wasteland as Fang Yuan recognized the scale of Doomsday Storm.
• Doomsday Storm struck the Mist Legion with tornadoes and lightning, killing its soldiers in waves and destroying the entire army in less than three minutes.
• Fas and the other two Mist Lords survived, staring at the wasteland where their legion had been buried.

After Lilith's Doomsday Storm devastated the Bloody Wasteland, Fang Yuan ordered his forces to race toward the newly emerged godhead. The three Mist Lords, desperate to avoid the Mist God's punishment, devised a last-ditch plan to steal it from him.

• Lilith explained that Doomsday Storm had drained her mana, and Fang Yuan gave her Mogore's Spiced Bread so she could recover and remain at Outpost Camp.
• After the Astrology Card announced that the godhead had emerged, Fang Yuan sent Aria, Breni, Yasis, and Fiona with their forces to support Qing Feng and Vanas and secure it.
• The three Mist Lords surveyed their destroyed armies, and Fas persuaded the others to risk one final attempt rather than return to the Mist God empty-handed.
• Fas assigned the Undead Archmage to raise an undead force and infiltrate near Outpost Camp, while the Mind Flayer Great Elder would use the Prisoner Tribes to disrupt Fang Yuan's troops.
• At the emergence point, Qing Feng watched a mysterious crystal rise from the earth and recognized it as the godhead.

Qing Feng and Vanas retrieved the divine core, but the Mind Flayer Great Elder ambushed them while they fled. After Asis and the Griffon Knights rescued them, the group tried to conceal who carried the core, only to be confronted by Mist Lord Fas.

• Qing Feng took the divine core and joined Vanas in escaping the Bloody Wasteland as its Aura of Slaughter drove the Flying Eagle Tribe into a frenzy.
• The Mind Flayer Great Elder controlled the Prisoner Tribes and sent them to intercept Qing Feng and Vanas, then used countermeasures to trap them and attacked with his barbarians.
• The Mind Flayer Great Elder stunned Qing Feng with Mental Shock, but Asis and the Griffon Knights arrived and defeated the surrounding warriors, though the Great Elder escaped through a puppet.
• Vanas proposed disguising herself as Qing Feng and having Qing Feng pose as a Griffon Knight so the Mist Lords would target the decoy carrying the divine core.
• Mist Lord Fas blocked the group’s road north and demanded that they hand over the divine core or die.

Yasis, Qing Feng, and Vanas reunited with Aria, who took the divine spark toward the Outpost Camp while they went to join the Guardian Knights. Demon Dragon Fas and the Mind Flayer Great Elder launched a final ambush, and the chapter ended with Lilith appearing to help Aria fight Fas.

• Yasis proposed splitting up to escape Demon Dragon Fas, but Qing Feng and Vanas warned that the enemy could track the divine spark and use teleportation, so the group headed west toward Aria.
• Aria realized the Prisoner Tribes were delaying her reinforcements, broke through their encirclement alone, and used Descent of the War God to protect Qing Feng, Yasis, and Vanas from Fas.
• Fas fled from Aria, and Qing Feng urged her to carry the divine spark straight to the Outpost Camp; Yasis and Vanas agreed, and Aria took it while they went to find the Guardian Knights.
• Fas and the Mind Flayer Great Elder planned to steal the divine spark by trapping Aria and having the Great Elder disguise himself as Lilith, while the Undead Archmage and Prisoner Tribes attacked the camp.
• Fas ambushed Aria with a scroll, but she broke free and fought him for an hour, leaving them both seriously injured.
• A figure appearing behind Fas claimed to be Lilith sent by the lord, then attacked Fas with hundreds of fireballs.

Aria exposed the Mind Flayer Great Elder and Demon Dragon Fas’s deception, and Fang Yuan arrived with reinforcements to defeat them. He killed Fas by destroying his soul through a contract, earning major rewards for himself and the Blue Star Civilization, while the chapter ended with Aria presenting him with the godhead.

• Aria revealed that the apparent Lilith was the Mind Flayer Great Elder in disguise, and the Great Elder and Demon Dragon Fas attacked her as they prepared a powerful spell.
• Fang Yuan, Lilith, Fiona, and the Demon-Breaking Warriors arrived; Fang Yuan used an item bearing the Curse of the Demon Dragon to interrupt Fas’s Frost Rain and burn both Mist Lords’ mana.
• Aria led the Demon-Breaking Warriors in suppressing the enemies’ magic, killing the Mind Flayer Great Elder and incapacitating Fas.
• At Lilith’s suggestion, Fang Yuan contracted Fas, separated his soul, and fed his body to the Dragon Blood Core, which gained the Frost Rain spell.
• Fang Yuan burned Fas’s soul through the contract, earning a Dark Gold Lord Hunter achievement and rewards for the Blue Star Civilization; Lilith explained that the Mind Flayer’s soul had escaped into the mist.
• Aria presented Fang Yuan with the godhead.

Fang Yuan examined the Slaughter godhead and learned from Lilith how its power worked and why War Gods were dangerous to other civilizations. He stored the godhead, ordered most of his forces back to Wasteland Territory, and prepared to strengthen his territory against the Mist Deities; meanwhile, Ren Yuan confronted Zhao Zixiao over Fang Yuan obtaining a godhead.

• Fang Yuan inspected the Otherworld Godhead, and Lilith identified its Slaughter Divine Power and explained the risks of a god monopolizing the Slaughter Rule.
• Lilith told Fang Yuan that absorbing godheads from fallen Ringed Divine Seat gods could strengthen the Slaughter godhead, but conquering the Central Continent and obtaining an Archmage Tower would be more valuable.
• Lilith suggested that the godhead at the Sub-deity Altar might be the Greenblood Dragon God’s godhead and could fuse with the Slaughter godhead to create a Greater Divine Power godhead.
• Fang Yuan stored the godhead and ordered the legions to return to Wasteland Territory, leaving ten thousand Auxiliary Legion members to guard the Bloody Wasteland outpost.
• Fang Yuan said Demon Dragon Fas’s death would alarm the Mist Deities and ordered preparations to strengthen his forces and upgrade to a Level 10 Main City.
• At the Review Committee on Blue Star, Ren Yuan confronted Zhao Zixiao for claiming that Fang Yuan had not obtained a godhead.

Zhong Jie brought Ren Yuan intelligence suggesting that Fang Yuan might have obtained a divine spark in the Bloody Wasteland. Ren Yuan urgently summoned the Four Sacred Alliances’ leaders to verify the report, leaving the Review Committee gathered to determine whether the intelligence was true.

• Zhong Jie waited at the Review Committee with a report about a possible divine spark until Ren Yuan arrived.
• Ren Yuan read the report and learned that Fang Yuan had entered the Bloody Wasteland amid a conflict involving the Caesar Alliance and the Mist Lord.
• Ren Yuan cross-checked scattered intelligence and concluded that the reports pointed to the divine spark’s appearance, but they did not reveal who obtained it.
• Ren Yuan ordered Zhong Jie to summon the higher-ups of the Four Sacred Alliances back to Blue Star immediately.
• Ren Yuan presented the intelligence at an emergency meeting and asked the gathered lords to verify whether it was true.

Ren Yuan and the Four Sacred Alliances debated reports that a godhead had appeared in Gangduo, then learned that Fang Yuan had obtained it and killed a Mist Lord. Zhao Zixiao stopped denying Fang Yuan’s involvement and met Ren Yuan privately, asking what he intended to do.

• Ren Yuan urged the Four Sacred Alliances to investigate Gangduo, but learned their forces had withdrawn, Fang Yuan controlled the region, and its Two Realms Teleportation Array was destroyed.
• The meeting received White Eagle intelligence claiming Fang Yuan had obtained the first godhead from the Bloody Wasteland after using the Forbidden Curse Doomsday Storm.
• Zhao Zixiao arrived and denied knowing about the godhead, suggesting the reports were fabricated to disrupt Dragon Nation’s expansion.
• Zhong Jie announced a civilization-wide reward for killing a Mist Lord, prompting the lords to connect the achievement to Fang Yuan and the Bloody Wasteland.
• Ren Yuan ordered the intelligence classified as top secret, told officials to publicly dismiss it as false, and sent the other lords back to the Mist World.
• Ren Yuan took Zhao Zixiao to his office, where Zhao asked what Ren Yuan planned to do if the godhead was in Fang Yuan’s hands.

Ren Yuan argued that Fang Yuan should hand over his divine spark for the sake of Blue Star, but Zhao Zixiao defended Fang Yuan and convinced Ren Yuan to support him instead. Meanwhile, Fang Yuan used a Dark Gold Curio to awaken a hero, and a woman recognized the casket as one she had made.

• Ren Yuan urged Zhao Zixiao to persuade Fang Yuan to surrender his divine spark, claiming it could help Blue Star produce an Eleventh Tier Lord and restart expansion in the Mist World.
• Zhao Zixiao challenged Ren Yuan's demand, argued that Fang Yuan had earned the divine spark, and warned that Gondor and Fang Yuan were far stronger than Ren Yuan believed.
• Zhao Zixiao told Ren Yuan to support Fang Yuan and bind him to the Dragon Nation, then left the office.
• Ren Yuan ordered a report supporting Fang Yuan's use of the divine spark, the repair of Gondor's Two Realms Teleportation Array, and the training of three thousand newcomers for Gondor.
• Fang Yuan placed the Sealed Secret Casket on the Sage Stone Slab and used it to awaken a hero.
• A playful female voice recognized the curio as the magic casket she had made.

Fang Yuan recruited the Dark Gold Hero Magic Songstress Helen, whose powerful support abilities could transform his army and refresh its cooldowns. He brought her to the Lord's Hall, where Helen's history with Lilith immediately sparked a confrontation, and Christian warned Fang Yuan that the two magicians were notoriously troublesome.

• Fang Yuan recruited Helen after agreeing to protect her from bad women, and her loyalty depended on him keeping that promise.
• Fang Yuan examined Helen's skills and discovered her divine protection, powerful army buffs, city defenses, healing, and ability to restore every unit's cooldowns and condition.
• Fang Yuan realized Helen's Echo of Melody could let Lilith cast forbidden curses repeatedly and teleported with Helen to the Lord's Hall.
• Helen teased Lilith, who summoned a Fire Phoenix and prepared to attack her, while Helen reminded Fang Yuan of his promise to protect her.
• Christian arrived and recognized Helen, warning Fang Yuan that Helen and Lilith were two troublesome magicians even the former Archmage of Archmage City could not handle.

After learning the history behind Lilith and Helen’s feud, Fang Yuan kept them apart and gathered his heroes to plan the territory’s expansion. He ordered his forces to retake the Golden Flower Pioneer Territory first, beginning a campaign against the Beastmen before turning south toward Gondor.

• Christian explained that Lilith resented Helen after Helen received divine essence and became a celebrated idol, while Lilith earned the title of Mad Witch.
• Fang Yuan promised Lilith that Helen would be stationed in a branch city so the two women would not have to meet.
• Breni urged Fang Yuan to seize Gondor’s heartland before its awakened neutral factions grew stronger, while Aria warned that the Beastmen threatened the Golden Flower Pioneer Castle and Bloodline Castle.
• Christian recommended retaking and upgrading the Golden Flower Pioneer Castle, defeating the Beastmen outside Bloodline Castle, and then turning south to conquer Gondor.
• Lilith reminded Fang Yuan that he needed to open a route through the Windy Grassland to reach the next divine fragment, and Fang Yuan resolved to take Gondor before fighting the Beastmen Empire.
• Fang Yuan ordered his legions to assemble at the Golden Flower Pioneer Territory, appointed Aria and Breni as vanguard commanders, placed Christian in charge of the frontline, and sent Helen to Bloodline Castle.

The Mimic Mud Monster gathered its White Eagle-controlled subordinates to plan how to hinder Fang Yuan after he took Gondor’s godhead and killed a Tenth Tier Mist Lord. It ordered them to infiltrate Fang Yuan’s alliances and steer rival lords toward the Windy Grassland, leaving the plotters ready to begin their operation.

• The Mimic Mud Monster reviewed the Mist God’s losses and explained that the stolen godhead and dead Mist Lord had forced the Mist God to seek other ways to delay Fang Yuan.
• Congressman Jones reported that many Blue Star lords coveted the godhead, while the Mimic Mud Monster warned that Fang Yuan was powerful and called for a covert united effort against him.
• The Mimic Mud Monster proposed sending Adventists and godhead-seeking lords into Gondor to corrupt Fang Yuan’s alliances, provoke infighting, and attack his territory.
• After Jones questioned whether Fang Yuan would accept outsiders, the Mimic Mud Monster identified the Windy Grassland as a fallback where White Eagle and other nations would inevitably clash with him.
• The Mimic Mud Monster ordered its agents to direct rival forces toward the Windy Grassland and infiltrate their alliances to gather intelligence, stir hatred of Fang Yuan, and corrupt his allies.

After learning that the godhead had exposed Fang Yuan to intelligence-gathering adventurers, Fang Yuan planned defenses and used his Blessing talent on ninety million worth of equipment. The blessing produced the Orange Special Grade item Clara's Alchemy Furnace.

• Lilith explained how adventurers’ reports and the nationwide reward had led other lords to suspect Fang Yuan had obtained the godhead in the Bloody Wasteland.
• Fang Yuan announced threats against unauthorized visitors to Gondor and planned layered screening and alliances to keep spies away from his territory.
• Lilith advised placing a hero-led barrier between the Demon Suppression Alliance and Fang Yuan’s main city, and Fang Yuan decided to recruit a hero using his Bloody Wasteland loot.
• Fang Yuan used Blessing on Orange Equipment and received the Purple Token, Wooden Golem’s Treasure, located in Pig Bay Town.
• Fang Yuan invested equipment worth ninety million in another blessing and obtained the Orange Special Grade item Clara’s Alchemy Furnace.

Fang Yuan tested Clara’s Alchemy Furnace on equipment and found that luck greatly improved enhancement success rates. He used it to turn the Wilderness Hunter’s Broadblade into an Orange Special Grade Curio +6 that could recruit a hero with a specified purpose.

• Fang Yuan tested the furnace on the Great Bone Club, discovering that low-quality fodder rarely enhanced stronger equipment and that higher-quality materials had better success rates.
• Fang Yuan used red equipment to raise the Great Bone Club to Red Rare, then spent purple equipment and found that only two of one hundred enhancements succeeded.
• Fang Yuan bought Lucky Cards and Orange Equipment, then used the luck boost to enhance the Great Bone Club to Orange Rare with powerful skills.
• Fang Yuan sent the enhanced Great Bone Club south with a Griffon Knight for Hom to use.
• After his Luck Buff recovered, Fang Yuan chose the Wilderness Hunter’s Broadblade and used nine other Orange Curios as fodder.
• Fang Yuan successfully enhanced the Wilderness Hunter’s Broadblade to +6, changing it into an Orange Special Grade Curio that could recruit a hero with a specified purpose.

Fang Yuan used his enhanced Wilderness Hunter's Broadblade to summon Heidi the Swordswoman, who agreed to serve him for Aria's sake. Just as he assigned Heidi to guard the Gloomy Forest, Aria conquered the Golden Flower Family Frontier, granting Fang Yuan a new territory and the title of Duke Golden Flower.

• Fang Yuan spent heavily on enhancements and Lucky Cards, then used the +6 broadblade to recruit a hero with protection, ranger patrol, and crowd control attributes.
• Heidi the Swordswoman emerged from the River of Time and explained that she answered the summons because Fang Yuan had awakened Aria and preserved their old oath.
• Fang Yuan accepted Heidi's condition that she could leave if Aria died, and Heidi joined him as an Orange Special Grade hero.
