Chapter Summaries

Lilith recounted how the Mist invasion followed the fall of Archmage City and the disappearance of the Archmage Towers, while Fang Yuan and his allies suspected the Neutral Faction’s awakening might be tied to an Otherworldly God. Fang Yuan prepared to recover before taking Gondor, sent Aria to investigate her brother in the grasslands, and identified his new building card as a Dragon Eagle Knight Training Camp.

• Lilith explained that the Archmage Towers once helped resistance forces fight the Mist, but their disappearance caused the Civilization Fire to fade and many defenders to fall into slumber.
• Christian suggested the awakened Neutral Faction might have been revived by another civilization’s Civilization Fire, and Fang Yuan considered that an Otherworldly God could be behind the Archmage Towers.
• Fang Yuan and Christian decided to recover their forces after defeating the grassland faction, then march south to conquer Gondor before the Neutral Faction could threaten them.
• Aria asked to garrison the grasslands and search for her brother, whom she suspected had been imprisoned and later awakened alongside the beastmen; Fang Yuan approved and ordered her not to cross the river.
• Fang Yuan scanned the Golden Barracks building card and learned that it was a Dragon Eagle Knight Training Camp.

Fang Yuan built and tested the Dragon Eagle Knight Training Camp, then began converting aerial troops and spending heavily on new forces. Meanwhile, Liu Zhenhan raided the Hydra Alliance headquarters and found a crown tied to a gold-level quest, which he offered to send to Fang Yuan.

• Fang Yuan built the Golden Dragon Eagle Knight Training Camp and upgraded it to level five, but postponed further upgrades because he lacked Golden Source Crystals.
• Fang Yuan converted a Sword Griffon and a Dragon Hunter into fifth-tier Dragon Eagle Knights, examined their skills, and ordered thousands more aerial units converted.

• Liu Zhenhan led a surprise attack on the Hydra Alliance headquarters while most of its lords were away, destroying its base and taking its spoils.
• Liu Zhenhan found a crown connected to a gold-level quest and messaged Fang Yuan, offering the treasure as a gift.

Fang Yuan strengthened the Blade Armor to +11, unlocked the life-saving Blade Shield skill, and gave the armor to Breni. He then strengthened an Elephant Warrior Barracks Building Card and listed it on the market, before Liu Zhenhan’s message and a Crown Relic led him to suspect that his gemstone belonged to the same set.

• Fang Yuan used a Seven-Colored Grass luck boost and strengthened the Blade Armor to +11, unlocking Blade Shield.
• Fang Yuan gave the Blade Armor to Breni, whom he judged best suited to use its defensive skills.
• Fang Yuan used his other orange Building Cards to strengthen an Elephant Warrior Barracks Building Card to +3, which could grant its troops a mutated skill when built by a Beastmen lord.
• Fang Yuan listed the strengthened Building Card on the market to gauge its value, unknowingly stirring up the Blue Star Lords.
• Fang Yuan opened a message from Liu Zhenhan, saw a Crown Relic, and wondered whether it matched a gemstone in his bag.

Fang Yuan fused Liu Zhenhan’s Gondor Crown with the Crown Diamond and accepted a Golden Quest to uncover Gondor XII’s true identity. As Gondor’s legions withdrew, Fang Yuan prepared for the lull by sending Vanas to investigate the quest coordinates and enhancing items, while his +3 Elephant Warrior Building Card caused a frenzy among Blue Star Beastmen lords.

• Liu Zhenhan pledged loyalty to Fang Yuan, gave him the crown, and agreed to hold back White Eagle’s expansion in the Windy Grassland for a share of the territory.

• Fang Yuan began enhancing curios, equipment, and Building Cards, while his +3 Elephant Warrior Building Card stirred Blue Star Beastmen lords into a frenzy.

The Freedom Trade Alliance debated how to withstand the Mist Lords threatening the Western Great Plains, then discovered Fang Yuan was selling a +3 Orange Rare Elephant Warrior Building Card that could transform their fortunes. Desperate to obtain it, the alliance prepared to offer a Golden item that could fuse two heroes into a Golden Hero Dragon Knight, while demanding Fang Yuan pay more.

• The Freedom Trade Alliance’s leaders discussed their depleted forces, the threats from the Mist Lords, and whether to relocate to dangerous Windy Grassland.
• A lord found Fang Yuan’s +3 Orange Rare Elephant Warrior Building Card on the Spatial Trading Market, and the alliance leader declared that they had to obtain it.
• The lords recognized Fang Yuan as the powerful Dragon Nation lord who had defeated the Hydra Alliance and resolved to trade for the card despite their difficult relationship with him.
• A lord offered a Golden item in exchange for exclusive priority access to the Building Card, and the alliance learned it could fuse two heroes into a Golden Hero Dragon Knight.

Fang Yuan finished enhancing equipment and discovered that his +3 Giant Elephant Warrior Barracks Building Card had attracted many offers, including a Golden Dragon Knight Class Change Scroll. He concealed his eagerness to trade for it, but the White Eagle lord replied that they knew he had a dragon.

• Fang Yuan completed his equipment enhancements and opened the Spatial Trading Market to assess offers for his enhanced Building Cards.
• Fang Yuan blocked Amir, a White Elephant Country lord, and rejected offers from a Dragon Nation lord and two White Eagle lords.
• A White Eagle lord with the title Deputy Leader of the Free Trade Alliance offered a Golden Dragon Knight Class Change Scroll for Fang Yuan's barracks card.
• Fang Yuan decided the scroll could help Fiona become a Golden Dragon Knight and lead his Dragon Eagle Knights, but he pretended he lacked a dragon to bargain for a better deal.
• The White Eagle lord replied, "I know you have a dragon!"

Fang Yuan secured the Dragon Knight Class-Change Scroll from the Freedom Trade Alliance and traded Xu Fei a Dragon Blood Warrior set for a promise to help him advance to Level 10. After rewarding Liu Zhenhan and recalling Dragon Babas, he prepared to complete the dungeon clear.

• The Freedom Trade Alliance debated whether to sell Fang Yuan the scroll, then agreed to trade it for another billion gold coins and future priority purchasing rights after weighing their need for an enhanced barracks and their conflict with financial conglomerates.
• Xu Fei offered Fang Yuan one billion gold coins and resources for the Dragon Blood Warrior class-change set, promising to help obtain at least two items needed to advance to Level 10; Fang Yuan accepted and signed a Commitment Contract.
• The Freedom Trade Alliance sent its trade terms, and Fang Yuan exchanged his items and the newly received gold for the Dragon Knight Class-Change Scroll.
• Fang Yuan summoned Fiona and recalled Dragon Babas, then offered Liu Zhenhan a tailored Enhancement Card in return for finding orange barracks cards; Liu Zhenhan pledged loyalty and promised to attack the Holy Spear Alliance.
• Babas arrived at Fang Yuan's territory and requested an audience.

Fang Yuan learned from Lilith that the Dragon Knight trial was safe and sent Fiona and Babas into the secret realm to change class. After hearing about female dragons hidden in the God of Destiny’s Treasure, he decided to explore it and summoned his heroes.

• Fiona warned Fang Yuan that she and Babas might die in the Dragon Knight trial, but Lilith explained how the secret realm granted dragon bloodlines and assured him they could succeed.
• Fang Yuan activated the secret realm gate and sent Fiona and Babas inside to complete the trial.
• Fang Yuan asked Lilith where he could find a female dragon who could transform into a dragon girl, and she said some might be in the God of Destiny’s Treasure.
• Fang Yuan took out several God of Destiny’s Treasure Keys and ordered the heroes to return so he could explore the treasure.

Fang Yuan learned that entering the Treasure of the God of Destiny would involve him in a deadly competition for its incomplete godhead, but he decided to seek a portion of its power to prevent rivals from targeting him. He gathered a group of heroes and entered the treasure through the Mystic Hall.

• Christian warned Fang Yuan that the God of Destiny was an evil god and that entering its treasure would make him a competitor in a lethal struggle for the godhead.
• Christian explained that the incomplete godhead could bring destiny’s backlash and that a rival who obtained it might plunder Fang Yuan’s destiny rewards.
• Lilith advised Fang Yuan to claim a portion of destiny’s power to keep others from reaching the godhead first, and said the Archmage Tower could later strip that power away.
• Fang Yuan decided to enter the treasure and chose Christian, Harold, Helen, Qing Feng, Breni, Vanas, and Yasis to accompany him, while Lilith, Aisha, and Heidi stayed behind.
• Fang Yuan inserted the orange key into the Mystic Hall’s second activation slot, opened a portal, and entered the Treasure of the God of Destiny with his heroes.

Fang Yuan explored the Destiny Demon Tower, fought through rooms of increasing difficulty, and uncovered the traps behind its costly shop. After defeating a disguised giantess, he used his Orange Key to open another Orange Room, where an unknown voice greeted him.

• Fang Yuan entered the Demon Tower and learned that he could explore its rooms using keys of matching colors.
• Christian saved Fang Yuan when White Room 001 attacked him, and the heroes cleared the room to obtain a Green Key.
• Fang Yuan and his heroes cleared a Green Room and a Blue Room, discovered the shop’s exorbitant key prices, and found a hidden exit by smashing through a wall.
• Vanas led the group through a Red Room and then into a Purple Room, where Fang Yuan chose the treasure chest over the apparently injured female knight.
• The female knight transformed into an Orange-rank giantess and attacked, but Christian killed her; Fang Yuan opened the recovered chest and found no key for the next floor.
• Fang Yuan used his Orange Key to open one of four Orange Doors, and an unknown voice spoke from inside.

Fang Yuan entered a room in the Destiny Demon Tower and learned that its first-floor boss was a Demigod war golem that no lord had defeated. As Free Lords turned hostile toward him, a badly wounded Eight-Armed Naga burst from the pool, leaving Fang Yuan alone to face the boss.

• Fang Yuan questioned Xiong Ying and the other lords, who explained that Orange Keys led to a room with a powerful, undefeated Demigod boss.
• Xiong Ying described the boss as a war golem immune to physical damage and highly resistant to magic, then revealed that the Moonlight Naga faction's lord had entered the pool to challenge it.
• Fang Yuan realized the gathered lords were Free Lords who had abandoned Blue Star's protection, and they began surrounding him.
• Fang Yuan ordered Christian and Qing Feng to prepare to break through and kill the Free Lords.
• An Eight-Armed Naga burst out of the pool, warned the lords of its mid-tier Demigod strength, and fainted; the Free Lords carried it away, leaving Fang Yuan alone as the pool's monster roared at him.

Fang Yuan and his heroes confronted the Goblin War Envoy guarding the first floor of the Destiny Demon Tower, and Helen identified its vulnerabilities. Fang Yuan used Mental Shock and the Sealed Magic Mirror to seal it, clearing the floor and triggering a choice to open the God of Destiny’s treasure with a Golden Key.

• Helen explained the War Envoy’s history and its energy-based weakness while Fang Yuan searched for a way to defeat it.
• Helen recalled that mental magic could disrupt the War Envoy’s internal magic patterns and that sealing spells could contain it.
• As the War Envoy prepared to fire its Magic Crystal Cannon at Christian, Fang Yuan used Mental Shock to interrupt the attack.
• Fang Yuan sealed the War Envoy with the Sealed Magic Mirror, clearing the first floor and receiving the Blessing of the God of Destiny.
• The Destiny Tower offered Fang Yuan a Golden Rare item from the God of Destiny’s Treasure if he used the Golden Key.

Fang Yuan opened an Orange Chest in Destiny Tower and used his Blessing of the God of Destiny to enhance its rewards. He then spent a Golden Key on Goblin Roulette, hoping for a powerful Golden Item, and won a Golden Rare Talent Scroll.

• After the War Envoy was sealed away, Fang Yuan sent Yasis to search the drained pool and collect curios, equipment, and an Orange Chest.
• Fang Yuan found that the recovered curios and equipment belonged to Moonlight Naga heroes and could be used to strengthen his own curios.
• Fang Yuan used his Blessing of the God of Destiny to enhance the Orange Chest and received three Orange Rare items, resources, gold coins, and 1,000 Orange Source Crystals.
• Fang Yuan used his Golden Key to enter a room with Goblin Roulette and activated his final stalk of Seven-Colored Grass to improve his luck.
• Fang Yuan watched the pointer pass over several tempting Golden Items, including Planewalker's Teleportation Staff, before it awarded him the Golden Rare Talent Scroll.

Fang Yuan found a Golden Talent Scroll but stored it until he could improve his luck, then entered the Destiny Demon Tower’s second-floor plaza and returned to his territory. After he left, Ye Xiaofan and Xiao Jing identified him and decided to monitor him while prioritizing Destiny’s Ark’s rivalry with Destiny Cube.

• Fang Yuan found a Golden Talent Scroll, decided to wait for a luck-boosting item before using it, and discovered that opening the Dark Gold Room required becoming a permanent guardian of the Destiny Tower.
• Fang Yuan teleported to the second-floor plaza, where Ye Xiaofan questioned him about his Golden Item and warned him to beware of Destiny Cube.
• Fang Yuan learned that returning to his territory cost one million gold coins and purchased the teleportation service.
• After Fang Yuan left, Ye Xiaofan and Xiao Jing identified him as the famous lord from the Gondor region who possessed a Godhead.
• Ye Xiaofan rejected recruiting or attacking Fang Yuan for now, choosing instead to watch him while Destiny’s Ark pursued the Godhead of Destiny and opposed Destiny Cube.

After leaving the Destiny Demon Tower, Fang Yuan learned that he carried powerful laws of destiny and planned to use the time before anyone could claim the Godhead of Destiny to advance his territory. He forged a rare Siren curio to trade for Golden Apples, then named an exorbitant price after a Siren Lord showed intense interest in it.

• Fang Yuan discussed the Destiny Ark, Destiny Cube, and Godhead of Destiny with Christian, who confirmed that Fang Yuan carried strong destiny laws, though Ye Xiaofan carried even more.
• Fang Yuan decided to pursue a Golden Apple so Lilith could remove the curse from using the Siren's Crown to boost his luck while he used a golden scroll to seek dual talents.
• Fang Yuan bought an Orange Special Grade Siren's Shell and gathered Siren legends, then strengthened his curios until the shell could recruit a Siren Princess, an Orange Special Grade Hero usable only by Siren faction lords.
• Fang Yuan listed the strengthened Siren's Shell on the Trade Market, and an interested Siren Lord flooded him with messages, including an offer to devote himself to the curio.
• Fang Yuan demanded 1,000 Golden Apples, an Orange Special Grade Human Building Card, and ten billion gold coins.

Jiang Yunyan sought Fang Yuan’s Siren Princess oddity to strengthen herself against the Power Alliance and the White Tiger Seven Kill Alliance, but his price demanded a large payment and ten years of Golden Apple yields. She accepted the trade, securing the oddity in exchange for her stored Golden Apples, future production, currency, and rare items.

• The chapter recounted how Jiang Yunyan left Ye Quan after he abandoned her legion and concealed the truth about the force he had been ordered to protect.
• Jiang Yunyan’s feud with Ye Quan persisted as she attacked the Power Alliance, while her own strength lagged behind its growth and that of the White Tiger Seven Kill Alliance.
• Jiang Yunyan saw Fang Yuan’s Siren Princess oddity on the Trade Market and recognized that it could help her locate underwater Siren cities and resources.
• Fang Yuan demanded one billion gold coins, an Orange Special Grade Human Building Card, an Orange Magic Rune, a contract, all ten of Jiang Yunyan’s Golden Apples, and her Golden Apple yields for ten years.
• Jiang Yunyan agreed, and the Trade Market announced that the transaction was successful.

Fang Yuan secured a ten-year share of Jiang Yunyan’s Golden Apple profits and acquired a Mechanical Spider building card and a matching reinforcement rune. He enhanced and constructed the Mechanical Spider, which gained a flying form and new skills, including Self-Destructing Spider.

• Fang Yuan had Aisha check the contracts, then signed them to secure ten years of Golden Apple profits from Jiang Yunyan.
• Fang Yuan reviewed the trade’s gold, Mechanical Spider building card, Golden Apples, and Mechanical Reinforcement Magic Rune, then sent Lilith to transfer misfortune and asked her to check on the search for the Gondor Crown.
• Fang Yuan raised his Luck Buff and used the alchemy furnace to enhance the Mechanical Reinforcement Magic Rune and the Mechanical Spider building card.
• Fang Yuan constructed the +6 Mechanical Spider, whose mutated Web Turret became a Poisonous Web Turret and whose enhanced form could fly.
• Fang Yuan applied the Mechanical Reinforcement Magic Rune to the Mechanical Spider, increasing its attributes and granting it the Self-Destructing Spider skill.

Fang Yuan inspected and upgraded the Mechanical Spider Tower before Zhao Zixiao explained that Dragon Nation had recognized him as a Nation-Protecting-Level lord and offered extensive benefits. Fang Yuan accepted and requested ten thousand trained new lords for Gondor, while Lilith’s return left him ready to open the Talent Scroll.

• Fang Yuan examined the Mechanical Spider Tower’s abilities and upgraded it to level nine.
• Zhao Zixiao visited Fang Yuan, described Blue Star’s failed efforts to decipher Magitech, and explained Fang Yuan’s new Nation-Protecting-Level status and its benefits.
• Fang Yuan accepted the status and requested ten thousand trained new lords to help him occupy territory in Gondor.
• Zhao Zixiao said Ren Yuan had already prepared three thousand lords and engineers, and Fang Yuan ordered them to repair the Two Realms Teleportation Array and arrive quickly.
• Fang Yuan asked Zhao Zixiao to investigate the Destiny's Ark and Destiny Cube organizations, then learned that Lilith had returned with the Golden Apple.

Fang Yuan used a tenfold Blessing Aura to open the Golden Talent Scroll and obtained the Golden Special Grade talent War Overlord, then drew the Golden Overlord Skill Rebirth. After transferring the resulting misfortune into a Golden Apple, he planned to curse White Eagle lords, but news arrived that Lord Vanas had found a clue to the Crown Relic.

• Fang Yuan used Siren's Crown and ten Golden Apples to set a tenfold Blessing Aura before opening the Golden Talent Scroll.
• Fang Yuan obtained the Golden Special Grade talent War Overlord, which converted his Overlord Skills into auras for his soldiers, buildings, and heroes and could be upgraded through conquest.
• Fang Yuan drew the Golden Overlord Skill Rebirth, granting all his units and buildings one immediate return to full condition after fatal damage.
• Lilith warned Fang Yuan that his misfortune was growing, so he transferred it into a Golden Apple and planned to pass it to the Book of Curses before targeting White Eagle lords on Windy Grassland.
• Fang Yuan received news that Lord Vanas had found a clue to the Crown Relic, identified as the Golden Token, and ordered Vanas to come in at once.

Fang Yuan began investigating Gondor XII’s identity after a broken sword revealed a quest tied to the Silver Wolf Tavern and Mr. Xien. He learned how to reach the tavern, warned the Four Sacred Alliances about a dangerous Beast God Altar, and discovered that a token he already owned could open the needed secret realm.

• Vanas gave Fang Yuan a broken sword from a grave on Windy Grassland, and scanning it revealed a message about Mr. Xien and a quest to find the Silver Wolf Tavern.
• Breni, Heidi, and Lilith explained that Fang Yuan would need a Secret Realm Magic Crystal to revisit the tavern’s era, so he ordered reconnaissance of neutral Gondor factions and posted a reward for relevant information.
• Wu Dan told Fang Yuan that secret realms connected to Gondor’s grassland war could lead to the Silver Wolf Tavern, where he could accept a quest to find the knight Xien.
• After Fang Yuan paid Wu Dan with a second-tier offensive Magic Rune Diagram, she reported that the Four Sacred Alliances had unearthed a usable Beast God Altar in the Sunset Mountain Range.
• Lilith and Christian warned that worshipping the altar could awaken a sub-deity as an evil god, and Fang Yuan asked Wu Dan to pass the warning to Lin Ying of the Vermilion Bird Nirvana Alliance.
• Fang Yuan recognized that his Blade of the Elephant token could open a secret realm from Gondor’s war with the grassland, giving him a route to the Silver Wolf Tavern and a chance to confront the Elephant Patriarch.
