Fang Yuan rescued Nade's castle from the orcs and learned that the Elephant Clan was likely returning north along the route through Gondor. He then discovered that the Silver Wolf Tavern was in the Barony of Boro, in Harvest Valley.

• Pail Nade revealed that the king was dead and no reinforcements were coming, but a report soon announced that the orcs had been surrounded.
• Fang Yuan's forces defeated the orcs outside Nade's castle, occupied it, and interrogated the surviving natives for information.
• Fang Yuan concluded that the orcs were returning north and ordered Aria to scout for the Elephant Clan's route.
• Qing Feng told Fang Yuan that nobody knew of the Silver Wolf Tavern, but Christian reported that a rescued commoner had located it in the Barony of Boro, in Harvest Valley.

Fang Yuan led his army toward the Barony of Boro to deliver the broken sword, then learned that the Black Mist Stone Forest was connected to the Harvest Ancient God, an evil god with Greater Divine Power. The army reached the barony and learned that wolf riders were under siege.

• Fang Yuan ordered Christian to take the army to the Barony of Boro while leaving a garrison at the occupied Viscount's Territory to await Aria.
• Fang Yuan's forces defeated returning orc squads and seized their plunder, including a blackened page taken from Harvest City.
• Pyle Nade explained that the page was a sacrificial text for the Harvest Ancient God, and Christian said the god had become an evil god with Greater Divine Power.
• Pyle Nade reported that believers who visited the Black Mist Stone Forest returned changed, and Fang Yuan recognized the information as a clue to his stone forest quest and kept the sacrificial texts.
• Fang Yuan assigned Pyle Nade to organize rescued commoners into a Vassal Legion and continued west with the army.
• After the army entered the Barony of Boro, scouts reported that a pack of wolf riders was under siege.

Fang Yuan pursued his quest to the Silver Wolf Tavern, where he uncovered a clue connected to Xien and earned an Orange-quality reward. As he prepared to collect Silver Wolf Wine across the barony, the mercenary leader he had encountered requested an audience.

• Fang Yuan found a mercenary leader and his group had slaughtered more than a hundred Wolf Riders, but he let them leave without pursuing them.
• Fang Yuan’s legion reached Baron Boro’s Castle, and he announced that the Duke of Golden Flower had arrived before continuing to Mercenary Town.

• Fang Yuan completed the first stage of the Golden Quest and received Silver Wolf Wine (Imitation), an Orange-quality item that restored mana and improved recovery and control resistance.
• Fang Yuan ordered Pyle Nade to claim the barony’s Silver Wolf Wine and obtain its recipe, while Christian reported that the mercenary leader wanted to meet him.

Warwick asked Fang Yuan to help him reach the Elephant Clan chieftain, who had led a demigod army south to conquer Gandor, and revealed he had a forbidden technique meant to kill the chieftain. After Qing Feng confirmed Warwick’s tragic history of losing his wolf pack and family to orcs, Christian called the plan an opportunity to wipe out the entire Elephant Clan.

• Warwick warned Fang Yuan that the Elephant Clan chieftain had become a demigod and was leading an army toward Gandor’s Royal Capital.
• Warwick proposed that Fang Yuan help him break through the Elephant Warriors so he could duel the chieftain, and claimed his forbidden technique could kill a demigod at the cost of his own life.
• Fang Yuan kept his distance from Warwick, asked how he could trust him, and agreed to investigate before deciding whether to help.
• Fang Yuan sent Qing Feng to investigate Warwick’s background, while Vivian doubted his claims and Christian reserved judgment.
• Qing Feng reported that Warwick had been raised by silver wolves, lost his pack and later his family to orcs, and formed the Wolf Hunter Mercenary Group to hunt them.
• Christian declared that Warwick’s plan offered an opportunity to wipe out the entire Elephant Clan.

Fang Yuan and Christian set a trap to lure the Beastmen army into a Grey Dwarf formation, while Warwick led mercenaries against the Elephant Patriarch. Warwick was killed, but his death unleashed a Demon Wolf blood curse that left the patriarch near death.

• Fang Yuan ordered his forces to combine with the secret realm’s resistance troops and assigned Warwick’s legion to serve as cannon fodder.
• Christian revised the battle plan, deploying the Guardian Knights and Magic Warriors against the wings and preparing an ambush with the Grey Dwarves, Wind Mages, and Voodoo Warlocks.
• Warwick’s legion defeated the Beastmen vanguard, then retreated after Elephant Warriors and Minotaur vanguards shattered his forces; the Beastmen pursued them to Fang Yuan’s defensive line.
• Christian sent Grey Dwarves into a staged defeat, prompting the cannon fodder to flee while Warwick charged the Beastmen’s main formation to reach the Elephant Patriarch.
• The Elephant Patriarch split Warwick in two with the Blade of the Elephant, but Warwick’s remains released a Demon Wolf blood curse that rapidly drained the patriarch’s life force.

Fang Yuan and his allies annihilated the Beastmen Legion, then discovered that the dying Elephant Patriarch’s curse had revived Warwick. Warwick revealed that a lord from the Mist Civilization had sent him and warned Fang Yuan that all beings were ants before reaching True Godhood, leaving Fang Yuan with half an hour to escape the closing secret realm.

• Christian and Helen could not identify the curse that had grievously wounded the Elephant Patriarch, and the group suspected it might be contagious.
• Fang Yuan ordered his forces to attack the surrounded Beastmen Legion, which the heroes, Mage Legion, Vivian, and Guardian Knights wiped out with minimal losses.
• Fang Yuan sent Grey Dwarf Lizard Knights to question the barely living Elephant Patriarch, but their centurion’s attack triggered a red light that enveloped the knights.
• Warwick reappeared and told Fang Yuan that his master, a lord from the Mist Civilization, looked forward to their future battle and believed all were ants before becoming True Gods.
• Warwick exploded into smoke, and Fang Yuan received the Blade of the Elephant quest rewards and a warning that the secret realm would close in half an hour.

Fang Yuan learned from Lilith how the Blood Curse connected the Mist World’s deities to the secret realm and how their conflict with the Mist Main God shaped the Great Calamity. Reassured that he had time to grow stronger, he opened the Dark Gold Treasure Chest and obtained a Time Gem.

• Christian warned Fang Yuan that Mist World forces had noticed him and that future secret realms could involve assassination attempts.
• Lilith explained that Blood Curse puppets served as vessels for deities’ avatars and recounted her past encounters and cooperation with the saints.
• Lilith described how the Mist Main God rose to power, fought the other Mist deities, and left the Old Continent and Blue Star vulnerable to future conflict.
• Lilith warned Fang Yuan that the Mist deities remained enemies and urged him to grow strong enough to reach true godhood; she also said Blue Star’s intact Civilization Fire could offer a path to greater power.
• Fang Yuan opened the Dark Gold Treasure Chest and obtained a Dark Gold item called the Time Gem.

Fang Yuan learned about the Law of Time and inlaid the Time Gem into his Abomination Crystal Gloves, unlocking Chaotic Time. He used the skill to place the Goddess's Golden Bottle in a time-altering space, then examined the Blade of the Elephant and was stunned by its size and attributes.

• Lilith explained that time-related artifacts were common in the Old Continent, though no one had mastered the Law of Time itself.
• Fang Yuan inspected the Time Gem and realized it needed to be used in equipment.
• Fang Yuan inlaid the Time Gem into the Abomination Crystal Gloves, which gained the Chaotic Time skill.
• Fang Yuan put the Goddess's Golden Bottle into the Chaotic Time space so it could produce luck-enhancing items faster.
• Fang Yuan examined the Blade of the Elephant, a Dark Gold weapon over thirty meters long, and was shocked by its attributes.

Fang Yuan examined the powerful Blade of the Elephant but found no one in his army able to wield it, then uncovered the next Crown Mission clue pointing to Harvest Church and Knight Ryan. As he set the investigation aside to focus on upgrading his Main City, he received Dragon Knight Fiona and a random Golden Forbidden Spell Scroll.

• Fang Yuan learned that the Blade of the Elephant required 100,000 Strength, and Christian and Aria both said they could not use it, so he stored it away.
• Aria recounted Gondor’s history, and Fang Yuan suspected Warwick had stopped the Elephant Clan’s invasion; Lilith warned that the Mist Deities could replace the souls of blood-cursed recruits.
• Fang Yuan scanned Mr. Sean’s Notes and received a new mission clue directing him to Harvest City to investigate Harvest Church and Knight Ryan.
• Fang Yuan decided to postpone the Harvest Church mission and focus on upgrading his Level 9 Main City.
• Fang Yuan received the new hero Dragon Knight Fiona and a random Golden Forbidden Spell Scroll for reaching Golden Legendary Achievement LV13.

Fang Yuan inspected Babas and Fiona after they awakened Silver Dragon Bloodlines, raised them to Level 10, and learned that improving the Dragon Raising Ground’s output required killing a demigod dragon. With the White Eagle facing orc resistance and a possible opening to advance south toward Gondor, Fang Yuan prepared to strengthen his heroes and address the farm’s depleted soil.

• Babas revealed that he had awakened the Silver Dragon Bloodline and reached legendary strength, while Fang Yuan reviewed his skills and Fiona’s changed abilities.
• Fang Yuan collected the Dragon Raising Ground’s crops and used Dragon Blood Fruits to raise Babas and Fiona to Level 10, unlocking Ice Domain and Dragon Flight Slash.
• Fang Yuan gave the remaining Dragon Blood Fruits to Helen and asked Liu Zhenhan to cook Dragon Tooth Rice and purple Dragon Blood Fruits to improve experience gains.
• Liu Zhenhan told Fang Yuan that the White Eagle had suffered losses after meeting concentrated orc resistance on the Windy Grassland, potentially giving Fang Yuan a strategic opening to head south toward Gondor.
• Fang Yuan asked Aria how to restore the Dragon Raising Ground’s fertility, and she answered that they had to kill a demigod dragon.

Aria explained that the Golden Flower Family’s attempt to create dragon-bloodline Magic-infused Constructs had been driven by a Wandering Mage who deceived her family and led her and her brother to their deaths. Lilith identified ways to restore Dragon Raising Ground, and Fang Yuan began buying dragon-related creatures before receiving Zhao Zixiao’s update about the teleportation array, the Spatial Rift assignment, and information on Destiny’s Ark and the Destiny Cube.

• Aria told Fang Yuan that the Golden Flower Family had pursued a demigod dragon’s soul to complete its construct research and recounted how she and her brother died in the Underground City.
• Aria explained the Golden Flower Family’s history and how a Wandering Mage had persuaded them that a demigod dragon’s soul was necessary for their Dragon Bloodline Magic-infused Construct.
• Lilith revealed that Archmage City could make dragon constructs with a little dragon blood, concluded that the Wandering Mage had deceived the family, and said dragon souls could improve Dragon Raising Ground’s fertility.
• Lilith added that draconic creatures and creatures with Dragon Bloodline could also help, though less effectively, so Fang Yuan posted a large purchase request on the Spatial Trading Market.
• Zhao Zixiao told Fang Yuan that the team repairing the Two Realms Teleportation Array had entered the Southern Territory, that ten billion had been approved to guard the Spatial Rift, and that he needed to remain in Gondor.
• Zhao Zixiao sent Fang Yuan information on Destiny’s Ark and the Destiny Cube and warned him to approach the source cautiously.

Fang Yuan distributed the nation's funding among four alliances, favoring the trusted Demon Suppression and Green Sea Alliances while assigning the others limited roles and resources. He then examined Zhao Zixiao’s information on Destiny’s Ark and the Destiny Cube, and discovered that the people involved had entered the Mist World before the mist descended on Blue Star.

• Fang Yuan confirmed that Zhao Zixiao had delivered a gold card containing ten billion gold coins and planned how to invest the funds in his alliances.
• Fang Yuan allocated twenty-five billion to the Demon Suppression Alliance and twenty billion to the Green Sea Alliance, requiring each to assemble a large Orange legion within three days.
• Fang Yuan gave the Crimson Flame Alliance five billion, made it a transitional alliance responsible for assessing Zixiao members, and accepted Wu Bo’s request to eventually join the Demon Suppression Alliance.
• Fang Yuan gave the Zixiao Alliance ten billion and instructed Zhao Sheng to finish repairing the Two Realms Teleportation Array.
• Fang Yuan read Zhao Zixiao’s information on Destiny’s Ark and the Destiny Cube and discovered that the people involved were Blue Star humans who had entered the Mist World before the mist descended on Blue Star.

Fang Yuan learned about the Free Lord groups targeting Blue Star and discovered that the Destiny Cube planned to attack him for the Godhead and Demon Tower rewards. After Breni and Vanas finished scouting Gondor, Fang Yuan prepared to begin his attack there.

• Fang Yuan read intelligence about the Destiny Cube, Destiny's Ark, and the Free Lords, then considered trading with a neutral Free Lord he had met.
• The Destiny Cube learned that Fang Yuan had taken the War Envoy and opened the golden gate in the Destiny Demon Tower.
• Xiong Ying identified Fang Yuan as Gondor's lord and described his strength, Godhead, and ties to the Dragon Country.
• The Destiny Cube lords agreed to pressure the Blue Star nations and secretly attack Fang Yuan to seize his Lesser Divine Power divine spark.
• Breni and Vanas finished exploring Gondor's territory and began bringing their intelligence back to Fang Yuan.
• Fang Yuan welcomed the report and declared that it was time to attack Gondor.

Fang Yuan and his advisers planned a campaign to seize the eight military strongholds blocking their routes through Gondor, favoring a two-pronged attack on the Northern Territory Defense Line and the southernmost fortress. He opened three Golden items to prepare for the blitzkrieg and obtained the Golden Wood Forbidden Spell Scroll, Wither Domain.

• Vanas and Breni reported that eight Orange-grade neutral military strongholds controlled the routes south and east from the Northern Territory Defense Line.
• Breni outlined two strategies and warned that Harvest City and the royal capital could send reinforcements if the southern fortresses were left undefended.
• Aria and Christian supported attacking from the Green Sea Alliance first, with a second army striking the southernmost fortress to isolate the six central strongholds.
• Fang Yuan assigned Fiona, the Dragon Eagle Knights, and forces from four subordinate alliances to assault the southern fortress, adding Hogg and the Original Blood Forest Giants to the siege force.
• Fang Yuan opened three Golden items and received the Golden Wood Forbidden Spell Scroll, Wither Domain.

Fang Yuan learned about the devastating history of the Forbidden Spell Withered Domain and obtained a Golden Treasure Map and an Orange Mountain Dwarf's Firearm. He used the firearm at the Hero Altar, where Solan Copperbody awakened and announced his return.

• Lilith explained how the Wood Element School once used Withered Domain to annihilate a plane, and Christian described the Magic Empire’s brutal response to public fears afterward.
• Fang Yuan considered using Withered Domain against Gontor but learned it would ruin the affected land, so he put the scroll away as a trump card.
• Fang Yuan opened two Golden Treasure Chests and received a Golden Treasure Map and an Orange Mountain Dwarf's Firearm.
• Fang Yuan found that the map pointed to the undead’s territory east of the Lamo River and considered investigating it after the war with Gontor.
• Fang Yuan placed the firearm on the Sage Stone Slab, awakening Solan Copperbody, who declared that he had returned as the king of the Copperbody family.

Fang Yuan organized a two-pronged campaign against the Northern Territory Defense Line, assigning heroes and legions to attack fortresses, intercept reinforcements, and guard against the orcs. After sending Christian to lead an assault with the War Envoy, Fang Yuan reopened the Golden Commerce Guild to trade and see whether new lords would join.

• Fang Yuan assessed Mountain Dwarf King Solan*Copper Body's skills, assigned him 1,000 Dwarf Chariots, and sent him to garrison the Rainbow Cloud Alliance's southern station.
• Fang Yuan ordered Fiona to lead the southern attack on the awakened Neutral Factions' Military Fortresses, while Breni and the Demon Knights moved to intercept northern reinforcements and establish a stronghold.
• Fang Yuan assigned Aria and Vanas to guard against the grassland orcs, with Vanas using 20,000 Grey Dwarves as hidden riverbank sentries.
• Christian requested legions for an assault on the first northern Military Territory, and Fang Yuan approved the War Envoy's deployment while reserving the Flame Magi for a later bombardment.
• After the heroes departed, Fang Yuan asked Aisha to reopen the Golden Commerce Guild and begin trading with its invitation holders.

He Tian faced financial ruin and danger from the White Eagle Pirate Lords until the Golden Commerce Guild opened, giving him a place to trade. Sam and Gu Xiaosang also entered the guild, bringing together lords from different continents.

• He Tian learned that the White Eagle Pirate Lords had robbed his caravans and threatened anyone who traded with him, leaving him weighing where to flee.
• The Golden Commerce Guild opened, and He Tian entered through its golden door, relieved that he could trade for resources without running from the pirates.
• Sam considered the guild invitation amid his isolation and difficulty trading for barbarian goods, then chose to enter.
• Gu Xiaosang and her Storm Warriors defeated a merman camp, but she failed to obtain the Fish Scale Crystal needed to explore the Crystal Lake Secret Realm.
• Gu Xiaosang examined the guild invitation, recognized it as a concealed private trading platform, and entered the Golden Commerce Guild with supplies.

Fang Yuan transformed the Golden Commerce Guild into an exclusive, mysterious gathering place where lords could trade information and rare items, hoping to build an alliance that would serve him. After demonstrating its appraisal and trading system, he sought equipment to counter Golden Units, and Sam asked how to defeat the guardian of the Sub-deity Altar.

• Fang Yuan and Aisha redesigned the guild, set an entry threshold, and planned to use it to gather information, high-tier items, and allied lords.
• He Tian, Sam, and Gu Xiaosang entered the altered guild and mistook its mysterious atmosphere for a possible divine realm.
• Fang Yuan introduced the guild’s rules, had Aisha appraise the Blade of the Elephant, and asked questions about a Greater Divine Power godhead and the awakening of Old Continent gods.
• Fang Yuan offered orange Dragon Soul Crystals for Gu Xiaosang’s Soul Link scroll, then traded two more crystals for her reusable Orange Fish Scale.
• Sam asked the others how he could defeat the guardian of the Sub-deity Altar.

At the Golden Commerce Guild, Sam asked for help defeating a Mist Giant Beast, while He Tian sought support against bandits in the Shattered Tooth Mountains. Fang Yuan contracted He Tian to search for Silvermoon City, then closed the guild and prepared to begin the war.

• Gu Xiaosang explained that the Mist Giant Beast was a remnant soul of a god, but she needed to research records before advising Sam how to defeat it.
• He Tian described the bandit threat in the Shattered Tooth Mountains, and Fang Yuan offered him a Wooden Golem's Treasure, five million gold coins, and resources in exchange for exploring the mountains and finding clues to Silvermoon City.
• He Tian agreed to Fang Yuan's terms and signed a contract under Aisha's witness.
• Fang Yuan, Gu Xiaosang, Sam, and He Tian each paid one million gold coins for a Golden Invitation Letter before leaving the guild.
• After everyone left, Fang Yuan told Aisha the trade had succeeded and ordered her to close the guild while he checked whether his legions were assembled for war.
