Fang Yuan’s forces killed the Harvest Goddess Avatar and a Black Mist Creature, uncovering the truth behind the Black Mist Stone Forest and earning a year-long seal for its altar. After completing the secret realm’s main quest, Fang Yuan learned that Klein Byrd had survived and asked to join his forces, and Klein’s skills convinced him to recruit the hero.

• Fang Yuan learned that Blue Star lords were joining the Sea God Church and moving to the West Coast Plains, where they rallied against the Tyrant of Gondor.

• Fang Yuan let Babas open the second chest, which yielded the God Slayer Mech Burial Coordinates.

Fang Yuan learned that a treasure chest had revealed the legendary God Slayer Mech, but its coordinates lay in the dangerous Barbarian Plateau, so he postponed retrieving it until he had a true god-level hero. He sent the Armor-Piercing Hammer to Hom, began building a castle at the Ronglan Highlands to control the West Coast Trade Route, and received a message that the Sea God Church wanted to speak with him.

• Fang Yuan and Helen discussed the goblin civilization’s history and learned that the God Slayer Mech’s coordinates were in the Barbarian Plateau, a perilous region filled with ancient ruins.

Fang Yuan opened the invitation-only Golden Commerce Guild to its three returning members, each hoping to bring him valuable information or seek his help. Gu Xiaosang joined the guild while leaving her territory in Audrey’s hands, concerned that Meng Qi and the New World Alliance had a more dangerous goal than acquiring a Greater Divine Power Godhead.

• Fang Yuan kept the guild’s invitation-only policy and ordered Aisha to admit the three returning lords: Sam, He Tian, and Gu Xiaosang.
• Sam tore his Invitation Letter, hoping to learn how to defeat the Mist Giant Beast and obtain its Dark Gold Equipment.
• He Tian entered the guild to share clues about Silvermoon City and ask for help translating a diary page he had found.
• Meng Qi’s New World Alliance rapidly annexed Free Lord groups across the Central Continent, and Gu Xiaosang became one of its five Deputy Alliance Leaders.
• Gu Xiaosang told Audrey she suspected Meng Qi had a more terrifying purpose, entrusted her territory to Audrey, and entered the Golden Commerce Guild.

Fang Yuan used the Golden Commerce Guild gathering to answer questions about secret realms and divine authorities while gathering information from its members. Gu Xiaosang learned how to search for the Storm gods’ powers, and Sam began trading for the Heart of Elk, the last of the Five Savage Hearts.

• Gu Xiaosang presented a Fish Scale Crystal, identified it as the key to the Seven Storm Gods Palace, and said she needed an ally.

At the Golden Commerce Guild, Gu Xiaosang offered Fang Yuan a deal to help her clear the Seven Storm Gods Palace, but he refused and instead traded for a Warlock's Letter token in exchange for information about the New World Alliance. After the guild meeting, Fang Yuan returned to his Lord's Hall and prepared to use the Heart of Elk to produce Savage Berserkers.

• Gu Xiaosang offered Fang Yuan a Medium Divine Power Godhead and a future Greater Divine Power Godhead if he helped her clear the remaining palaces, but Fang Yuan refused.

• Gu Xiaosang bought two Invitation Letters, then Fang Yuan and Aisha left the guild together.
• Fang Yuan took the Heart of Elk from his inventory and prepared to produce Savage Berserkers.

He Tian and Sam pursued opportunities in the Shattered Tooth Mountains and on the Barbarian Plateau, while Gu Xiaosang investigated the New World Alliance’s puzzling military orders and suspected it might be backed by an evil god. On Gondor’s West Coast, Christian waited to attack as a powerful new infantry legion was sent to join the Wasteland Territory’s forces.

• He Tian learned that the Skeleton Mercenary Group was searching the Shattered Tooth Mountains for a red dragon’s nest, so he sent his elite legion to investigate and planned to stop them if their search concerned Silvermoon City.

• Fang Yuan ordered the Barbarian High Priest to go to the Red Hat Armored Fortress and told Christian to wait for the reinforcements before attacking.

The Sea God Church debated how to respond after Fang Yuan ordered its followers out of the West Coast Plains, then rejected negotiations and threatened an attack. The church prepared to resist, and its pope set out to join the Third Holy Son as Fang Yuan’s forces arrived.

• Sea God Followers occupied two-thirds of the West Coast Plains, prompting Fang Yuan to order them to withdraw within seven days.
• After Zhao Zixiao reported that Fang Yuan had rejected negotiations and threatened the Novice Lords, the Sea God Church’s leaders argued over retreating, fighting, or bargaining.
• The pontiff announced that the new Lords would withdraw, but the church would contest the West Coast with the Third Holy Son and seek support from allied Lords.
• The pontiff planned to lead at least level-eight Lords in an allied army and use an attack on Gondor to draw Fang Yuan away.
• A report arrived that Fang Yuan had built a castle in the west and teleported large legions into the West Coast Plains, so the pontiff left to meet the Third Holy Son.

The Mind Flayer Great Elder ordered the West Coast Mist Lord to abandon Moon Hill and planned underground counterattacks against the Blue Star Lord and Fang Yuan. Meanwhile, the Sea God Church prepared a multi-front invasion of Gondor, including an army crossing the West Coast Mountains, leaving the region on the brink of war.

• The Third Holy Son's hero outlined the Sea God Church's plan to advance on multiple fronts, with one force crossing the West Coast Mountains to invade Gondor and force Fang Yuan's main army to withdraw.

The Sea God Church and the New World Alliance prepared a two-pronged invasion of Gondor, while Fang Yuan learned that Christian’s vanguard had been surrounded in Mondo Knight Territory. Fang Yuan realized Christian had used three thousand Savage Berserkers as bait to draw in fifty thousand enemy troops while the main force moved to capture their castle.

• The Third Holy Son approved a plan to lure Fang Yuan’s army into battle near Sea God City, while the Sea God Church leader promised to send three hundred thousand New World Alliance troops through the West Coast Mountains.
• The Third Holy Son appointed Raimon to command the frontline and ordered the Sea God Church leader to destroy Gondor after entering it.
• Ren Yuan warned Fang Yuan that the Sea God Church had gathered over a million troops, including forces from the New World Alliance, whose motives remained unknown.

• Fang Yuan saw that Christian had bypassed the enemy with the main army to target their castle, and learned that the surrounded vanguard consisted of three thousand Savage Berserkers.
• Fang Yuan realized Christian intended to use the Savage Berserkers to rout the fifty-thousand-strong enemy force.

Raimon recognized that Fang Yuan’s forces could exploit their aerial advantage, so he ordered his army to withdraw and defend Mondo Castle. When the castle fell and the Orange Legion’s fifty-thousand-man vanguard was trapped, Raimon abandoned it and retreated to Werner Count’s Territory, while Christian called off an ambush and ordered his forces to regroup.

• Raimon ordered the vanguard to withdraw to Mondo Knight Territory rather than attack the isolated three-thousand-man enemy force, then explained that Fang Yuan could use aerial reconnaissance to lure them into a trap.

• After Fiona’s forces defeated the cavalry, Fiona found only three thousand blood-soaked Savage Berserkers standing among the shattered enemy bodies.
