Chapter Summaries

Fang Yuan learned from Lilith that the Magic Suppression Statue had once been Archmage City’s best-selling export and decided to build one in his main city after reaching Level Ten. After teleporting back to the Demon Tower’s second-floor hall, he discovered a crowd of lords arguing over him.

• Fang Yuan inspected the Magic Suppression Statue Building Card and asked Lilith why the statue had been sold despite its threat to mages.
• Lilith explained that Archmage City sold the statues to prevent any nation from becoming powerful enough to threaten the city, but later prioritized selling Magic Crystal weapons instead.
• Fang Yuan decided the statue would protect his main city from Legendary-level magic and stored the card for later construction.
• Fang Yuan teleported back to the Demon Tower’s second-floor hall on his way to the fifth floor.
• Fang Yuan found the hall packed with lords engaged in a heated argument, and realized they were arguing because of him.

The Destiny Cube and Destiny's Ark prepared to fight over rescuing Fang Yuan, unaware that he had escaped the Orange Room and cleared a Golden Room as well. His fifth-floor ranking established him as a powerful new force, and he returned to the Wasteland Territory with a huge haul of treasure chests.

• The Destiny Cube planned to intercept Fang Yuan's plea for help and kill him, while Xiong Ying explained that the Orange Room's Puppet Worms and Maze Lock made escape nearly impossible without Little Feather.
• The Destiny Cube learned that Destiny's Ark's leader had arrived to rescue Fang Yuan, and both organizations gathered on the second floor, ready to fight over him.
• The leader of Destiny's Ark agreed to spend a use of Little Feather to recruit Fang Yuan, but Fang Yuan had already teleported out, overheard their plans, and left his mark on the fifth floor.
• The two organizations discovered that Fang Yuan had cleared the Orange Room and a Golden Room, placing tenth in the rankings as a fifth-floor lord unaffiliated with either group.
• Fang Yuan returned to the Wasteland Territory and brought out his large collection of Golden and Dark Gold Treasure Chests.

Fang Yuan examined his rewards from Destiny Demon Tower, discovering a key tied to ancient factions, tools for controlling units, and a dangerous quest he refused to accept. He then began opening his treasure chests under a refreshed Luck Buff, with the first rewards appearing at the end.

• Fang Yuan synthesized ten Qualityless Key Fragments into a Seal Key of the Temple of Light, which could unlock a choice between the Light Faction and Dark Faction.
• Fang Yuan inspected the Golden Puppet Worms and Darkness Origin, then stored them for possible future use.
• Fang Yuan read the Dark Gold quest The Female Knight's Will and declined it because ancient deities posed too great a danger.
• Fang Yuan examined the Golden building cards, learned the Puppet Cage could prevent controlled Golden units from rebelling, and postponed construction until his Main City reached Level 10.
• Fang Yuan checked his remaining Source Crystals, activated his Luck Buff, and opened eight Golden Goblin Treasure Chests.
• The opened chests yielded 50 Golden Source Crystals, five billion gold coins, and a Golden Spell Scroll called Bridge of Tira.

Fang Yuan opened the Golden and Dark Gold treasure chests, gaining resources, Source Crystals, and Tira's Bridge, a spell scroll suited to his planned attack on Gondor. After a Destiny Gold Coin gave him a temporary twentyfold luck increase, he opened the Magic Lock Chest and obtained the Shadow Concealment Magic Lock Formation.

• Fang Yuan stored 100 attribute-less Golden Source Crystals and deposited 25 billion gold and resources, which would cover his debts, upgrades, and southern campaign.
• Fang Yuan gave Tira's Bridge to Christian after Lilith explained the spell's history and its connection to Tira and the Gray Mist Fools.
• Fang Yuan opened two Goblin's Dark Gold Chests and received 100 Dark Gold Source Crystals and a Destiny Gold Coin.
• Fang Yuan flipped the Destiny Gold Coin and received a twentyfold luck increase from its effect and his level-two Blessing of the God of Destiny.
• Fang Yuan used the temporary luck increase to open the Magic Lock Chest and obtained the no-quality Shadow Concealment Magic Lock Formation.

Fang Yuan obtained a powerful Shadow Concealment Magic Lock Formation and raised his sub-city to level nine. With only two conditions left to upgrade his main city, he ordered Christian to summon the heroes and prepare an attack on the royal capital to unify Gondor.

• Fang Yuan asked Lilith about Magic Locks, and she explained their history, their connection to Magic Arrays, and the danger of surveillance back doors.
• Lilith inspected Fang Yuan's Shadow Concealment Magic Lock Formation, confirmed it was a legitimate and powerful Archmage City defensive formation, and agreed to deploy it around the main city.
• Fang Yuan received a Healing Scroll from Blessing, then used his resources and buildings to upgrade the branch city to level five and the sub-city to level nine.
• Fang Yuan realized that the sub-city could not advance further until the main city reached level ten, which still required a Godhead Fragment and all heroes to awaken their faction skills.
• Fang Yuan told Christian to summon the heroes so they could plan a southward campaign against the royal capital, and Christian eagerly agreed.

The High Priest of the Harvest Goddess learned that Fang Yuan’s forces greatly outmatched his own and feared the Harvest faction would be destroyed before the Goddess fully revived. He planned to seek allies among the grassland lords and Mist Civilization, while Fang Yuan’s heroes gathered to plan their attack on Gandor.

• The High Priest used the Lord’s Mark to obtain intelligence about Fang Yuan and concluded that Gandor’s forces could not withstand his armies and forbidden spells.
• King of Gandor reported that the territory transformation was complete, but the Harvest faction remained surrounded and lacked the strength and resources to defend its outlying regions.
• The High Priest ordered King of Gandor to contact the grassland lords and Mist Civilization through the Silver Wolf Mountain Range and seek an alliance against Fang Yuan.
• After King of Gandor left, the High Priest considered winning over a Blue Star Lord and using Blue Star’s native forces to attack Fang Yuan while spreading the Harvest Goddess’s power to Blue Star.
• Fang Yuan’s heroes returned to the main hall of Wasteland Territory and began a heated meeting about the direction of their attack on Gandor and the Harvest Evil God.

Fang Yuan’s commanders planned a rapid siege of Harvest City while dividing forces to block reinforcements and seize the Harvest Plains. As troops began mobilizing, Fang Yuan discovered that 560 Dragon Eagle Knights remained unaccounted for, then received word that they had defeated Naga Warriors and occupied an unnamed island.

• Breni proposed taking the Harvest Plains to attack Harvest City from both sides, while Fiona urged a more cautious plan focused on the city and Gandor’s reinforcements.
• Aria proposed cutting off Harvest City’s support from the plains, and Christian outlined a three-day siege plan that could capture the city even sooner.
• Fang Yuan appointed Christian to command the siege and approved the deployment of heroes and legions to attack Harvest City, seize the plains, and intercept reinforcements.
• Christian assigned Aria and Breni to mobilize separate forces, while Fang Yuan began producing Forest Giants and Dragon Eagle Knights and requested four hundred thousand allied siege troops.
• Fang Yuan noticed that 560 Dragon Eagle Knights were still alive and received a message that they had killed Naga Warriors and occupied an unnamed island.

Fang Yuan learned that surviving Dragon Eagle Knights had occupied an island in the Sea of Perdition, which could lead to the Creation Magic Rune Fragment. He started building an outpost there and then ordered his assembled forces to march on Gondor.

• Fang Yuan saw that Dragon Eagle Knights had captured an Unnamed Island in the Sea of Perdition, and Lilith explained the region’s dangers and its rumored connection to the Creation Magic Rune Fragment.
• Lilith told Fang Yuan that the island could provide access to ancient temples beneath the sea, including the Creation Temple, and urged him to pursue the fragment as part of a new civilization’s emergence.
• Fang Yuan decided to explore the Sea of Perdition and successfully placed an Outpost Camp on the island, though construction would take 300 hours without a Dark Gold Mobilization Order.
• Fang Yuan accelerated the production of his forces, raising the Voodoo Warlocks to 2,000 alongside his other units.
• Christian reported that the army had assembled, and Fang Yuan ordered it to set out for Harvest City before advancing to take Gondor.

Zhao Sheng ordered the Zixiao Alliance to raise troops for Fang Yuan’s southward campaign, while the Yin Aspect Holy Son chose indirect harassment and prioritized conquering the grasslands. In Gandor’s royal capital, the High Priest prepared to sacrifice Harvest City and other strongholds to delay Fang Yuan and await the Mist Legion.

• Zhao Sheng dismissed complaints about the Crimson Flame Alliance taking promising recruits and ordered the Zixiao Alliance to focus on defending its territory and training newcomers.
• After receiving Fang Yuan’s order to send 100,000 Orange Legion troops to Harvest City, Zhao Sheng told the alliance to raise 200,000 troops and assemble immediately.
• Adventist lords inside the Zixiao Alliance reported Fang Yuan’s plans to the Yin Aspect Holy Son, who ordered harassment of Fang Yuan while concentrating the Mist Legion against the Giant Elephant Tribe.
• The High Priest rejected sending reinforcements to Harvest City and told the King of Gandor to prepare to destroy it and other strongholds if they fell.
• The High Priest ordered Gandor’s forces to defend the royal capital and remaining cities to the death, hoping to hold out until the Mist Legion sent troops south.

Ren Yuan’s team investigated newly awakened Old Continent gods and debated how to test their power. They learned that Fang Yuan had already surrounded Harvest City with 500,000 troops to attack the Harvest Goddess, and Ren Yuan sought to pay him to livestream the battle.

• Ren Yuan reviewed reports on the Beast God faction and learned that the Beast God may have survived as an Evil God from the Old Continent.
• Xiao Zhong showed evidence that Forest Lady had awakened in Silver Moon Forest, where her followers resisted Xu Fei’s advance and drew support from nearby elf tribes.
• Ren Yuan proposed probing the awakened gods, but the meeting learned that Fang Yuan had conscripted four alliances and gathered 500,000 troops to attack Harvest City and the Harvest Goddess.
• Ren Yuan ordered Xiao Zhong to contact Zhao Zixiao, warn Fang Yuan, and ask him to livestream the attack for at least five billion gold coins’ worth of resources.
• The officials debated whether Fang Yuan would accept the offer as they waited for his reply.

Fang Yuan suspected the Harvest Evil God had allied with the Mist Faction and ordered his commanders to accelerate the southern campaign. After learning Harvest City had been abandoned and might explode, he arranged for the Crimson Flame Alliance to attack it and sell the battle as a livestream, leaving the paying nations furious when they saw the modest force involved.

• Lilith reported that Christian planned to attack Harvest City, while Breni had captured a temple but halted after Mist monsters appeared on the Harvest Plains.
• Fang Yuan and Lilith considered whether the Mist Faction had allied with the Harvest Evil God's forces, and Fang Yuan ordered Breni to clear out the monsters and Aria to scout near Gandor's royal capital.
• Christian reported that Harvest City held only remnants, its main forces had withdrawn, and its defenders might detonate the city; Fang Yuan ordered a rapid advance toward the royal capital and nearby castles.
• Fang Yuan learned from Zhao Zixiao that Harvest City could be used for a livestream, then arranged for the Crimson Flame Alliance's 100,000 troops to attack and demanded fees for broadcast rights.
• The Censorship Department sold rebroadcast access to multiple nations, but viewers complained that the livestream showed only 100,000 Orange Legion troops attacking a fortress; the battle's outcome remained to be seen.

Wu Bo led the Orange Legion’s livestreamed siege of Harvest City, and its sudden advance shocked viewers who had expected a dull battle. The broadcast was blinded by a flash from inside the city, then returned to show Harvest City reduced to a huge pit.

• Wu Bo arranged the one hundred thousand Orange Legion troops and began the siege with Tower Shield Soldiers and Construct Archers at the vanguard.
• Sakura Country, White Eagle, and other buyers complained about the broadcast as Ren Yuan defended the fee and said the real spectacle would come after Harvest City fell.
• The Orange Legion launched a coordinated assault with archers, siege equipment, mages, priests, and airships, overwhelming the Purple Legion’s defenses.
• Ren Yuan concluded that the attackers were allied Orange Legions rather than Fang Yuan’s main force, and the viewers marveled at their strength.
• A scorching white light erupted from Harvest City, blacking out the broadcast; when the picture returned, only a huge pit remained where the city had stood.

After the explosion at Harvest City, Ren Yuan warned Blue Star’s leaders that the awakened Evil God faction might be an enemy, but most countries chose to approach it as a potential ally. Meanwhile, Fang Yuan’s army surrounded Gandor’s Royal Capital, and Fang Yuan ordered Lilith to use two forbidden spells to break its defenses.

• Blue Star’s representatives debated whether the awakened deities were allies, and Ren Yuan said Harvest City’s defenders had detonated their fortress to weaken Fang Yuan’s forces.
• Ren Yuan reported that Fang Yuan’s army had lost only a little over thirty thousand cannon fodder and that the Mist Legion had appeared in the Harvest Plains, suggesting the Evil God faction might ally with the Mist faction.
• White Eagle and other countries rejected Ren Yuan’s warning and decided to contact the faction, while Ren Yuan said Dragon Nation would handle it cautiously and control lords who joined it.
• Ren Yuan told his staff not to suppress or promote the faction, and he asked to hear from Fang Yuan after the battle for Gandor’s Royal Capital.
• Lilith reported that Golden Flower and Thorn Flower Castles had been destroyed and Fang Yuan’s army had surrounded the Royal Capital.
• Fang Yuan ordered Lilith to use two forbidden spells against the Royal Capital’s defenses.

Breni’s Demon Knights and the Crimson Flame Alliance surrounded the Silver Wolf Lord’s 150,000-monster army on the Harvest Plains, while the Yin Aspect Holy Son learned that Fang Yuan had taken three territories. After Lilith unleashed two forbidden spells against the Royal Capital of Gandor, the Holy Son feared the city would fall that day and admitted Fang Yuan was far stronger than he had imagined.

• Breni led tens of thousands of Demon Knights around the monster army and attacked as it retreated, with fallen knights repeatedly resurrecting and returning to battle.
• The monster commander ordered the Orange Legion to flee, but the Dwarf King’s chariots blocked its route as the Crimson Flame Alliance arrived and surrounded the 150,000 monsters.
• The Undead Archmage told Yin Aspect Holy Son that the Silver Wolf Lord’s army had lost contact and that Fang Yuan had captured Harvest City, Golden Flower, and Thorn Flower.
• Yin Aspect Holy Son explained that the Harvest Evil God Faction had abandoned the three territories to gather at the Royal Capital of Gandor and wait for help from his forces.
• Yin Aspect Holy Son sensed a forbidden spell from the south, then saw a second spell’s Meteor Fire Rain and concluded that the Royal Capital of Gandor would fall that day.
• Yin Aspect Holy Son said he had misjudged Fang Yuan’s strength and warned that his own forces had to unify the grasslands before Fang Yuan turned north.

Christian anticipated Gandor’s forces would counterattack as Lilith’s amplified second Forbidden Spell overwhelmed the capital’s divine barrier. The High Priest escaped with selected sacrifices while King of Gandor led the army out, only for the Meteor Fire Rain to annihilate him and his troops.

• Christian explained that Lilith’s refreshed Forbidden Spell, empowered by her Fire Phoenix and Demigod Staff, could break Gandor’s barrier, and prepared defenses against a counterattack.
• Inside the Harvest Goddess Church, the High Priest revealed the capital’s barrier was powered by a Godhead Fragment and planned to teleport herself and selected sacrifices to the Goddess’s labyrinth.
• The High Priest asked King of Gandor to lead the legions outside and buy time, then shut down the barrier and began teleporting away with the priestesses and sacrifices.
• After departing, the High Priest ordered the Imperial Guard to destroy the capital and leave the Blue Star Lord no resources.
• King of Gandor led tens of thousands of troops through the gates toward Lilith, but Lilith’s amplified Meteor Fire Rain crushed the exposed army and killed the king.

Christian’s forces destroyed the Royal Capital of Gandor with Lilith’s forbidden spells, while Fang Yuan traded with Ye Quan for a powerful mana-restoring magic bean. The conquest yielded the Harvest Evil God’s Godhead Fragment, and Lilith’s power was fully restored as the chapter ended.

• Christian’s heroes searched Gandor’s ruins and suspected that the Harvest Evil God’s saint and priests had fled when the city’s protective barrier suddenly vanished.
• Vivian reported that Lilith had been sent back to the main city, exhausted after casting two forbidden spells and unable to recover her mana for months.
• Fang Yuan negotiated with Ye Quan, trading the Golden Apple agreement and Siren’s Crown for a Sky Giant’s Magic Bean and an agreement to help transfer misfortune.
• Fang Yuan fed the magic bean to the sleeping Lilith, and it began restoring her mana.
• Fang Yuan received a notification that conquering Gandor had yielded the Harvest Evil God’s Godhead Fragment, satisfying the hardest condition for upgrading his main city to Level 10.
• Lilith awoke inside a mana cocoon and told Fang Yuan that her power had been completely restored.

Fang Yuan planned how to distribute the conquered territories and build up his forces, then learned that Lilith’s Demigod Staff held more than a hundred powerful Great Disintegrations. Christian returned with the spoils of war, including the Spear of Gondor, whose Dragon Spear Knight Order skill caught Fang Yuan’s attention.

• Fang Yuan assigned the Harvest Plains to Green Sea, Demon Suppression, and Scarlet Flame, and reserved the former Royal Capital of Gandor for a castle he would build after upgrading his Main City.
• Fang Yuan worried that his heroes lacked experience for the Level 10 Main City upgrade and planned to check the spoils for Secret Realm Magic Crystals.
• Lilith awakened after recovering with magic beans and told Fang Yuan that her Demigod Staff had stored one Demigod-Level, ten Legendary-Level, and more than a hundred ordinary Great Disintegrations.
• Christian returned with the spoils, including a Dark Gold Curio, Golden Curios, Scrolls, Equipment, and the Golden Special Grade Spear of Gondor.
• Aria explained that the Spear of Gondor was an inheritance weapon that transformed its user into a Golden Unit, and Fang Yuan opened its panel to examine the Dragon Spear Knight Order skill.

Fang Yuan inspected his spoils from Gondor and discovered that the Spear of Gondor could create a powerful Dragon Spear Knight legion, though its strongest aura skill required a Gondor royal hero. After learning that the Evil God's Maze could provide endless experience, he heard that Northern Fortress held a passage to it and that Christian had news about the Harvest Goddess's priest and the Saint's Son.

• Fang Yuan examined the Spear of Gondor and found that it could transform cavalry into Dragon Spear Knights, while its powerful legion auras required a hero from the Gondor Royal Family.
• Fang Yuan reviewed the remaining spoils, planned to use the Gondor Legacy Crown to recruit a Gondor king, assigned a healing scroll to Aria, and gave the Shadow Cloak and Swift Wind Boots to Qing Feng, raising her loyalty to 100.
• Fang Yuan struggled to find enough experience for his heroes and paid a lord one million gold coins for information about a place to grind it.
• The lord told Fang Yuan that monsters in the Evil God's Maze respawned endlessly, and Lilith said a passage beneath Northern Fortress led there.
• Christian told Fang Yuan that he had information about the Harvest Goddess's priest and the whereabouts of the Saint's Son.

After Christian explained that Harvest Church members had fled Royal Capital of Gandor through a damaged teleportation array, he and Lilith warned Fang Yuan that the Harvest Evil God’s followers would return if left alive. Fang Yuan ordered his legion to the Northern Territory Defense Line to enter the Evil God Maze and hunt them down.

• Christian told Fang Yuan that Royal Capital of Gandor’s defenders had counterattacked during the forbidden spell, while the Harvest Church had likely escaped through a teleportation array, leaving few spoils behind.
• Christian and Lilith explained that gods and churches could abandon their followers, and that the Harvest Goddess had once sacrificed millions of believers to preserve her true spirit.
• Christian said the Harvest Evil God’s Holy Son and priests had likely fled to the Evil God Maze, where they could rebuild their power and spread their faith.
• Lilith warned Fang Yuan that an Evil God’s revenge could devastate his territory and recalled the Sea God’s long war against the Goddess of Storms.
• Fang Yuan decided to pursue the fleeing Harvest Evil God followers and ordered Christian to summon the legion and march to the Northern Territory Defense Line.

The Yin Aspect Holy Son planned to delay Fang Yuan by luring him to explore the dangerous Nossa Empire while the Mist forces conquered the prairie. He ordered pressure on Fang Yuan’s territory and a rapid assault on the prairie, leaving Fang Yuan to decide whether to take the bait.

• The Yin Aspect Holy Son learned that Gondor Kingdom’s royal capital had fallen and deduced that its defenders had opened the Magic Array from inside so the Evil God Holy Son could escape.
• The Undead Archmage warned that Fang Yuan could take Cape City, unify Gondor, and attack north before the Mist forces captured the prairie.
• The Yin Aspect Holy Son explained that Fang Yuan would need to meet a universal Level 11 advancement requirement in the Central Continent and planned to steer him toward the dangerous Nossa Empire.
• The Yin Aspect Holy Son said he would fight Fang Yuan if he stayed, while the Undead Archmage noted that Fang Yuan might instead become a Free Lord and join Middle-earth.
• The Yin Aspect Holy Son ordered the Mist Lords and undead to seize the prairie’s royal capital and commanded an Adventist lord and the Mud Monster to pressure Fang Yuan and deliver information about the Nossa Empire to him.
