Chapter Summaries

Sea God Church forces decided to defend Werner Count's Fortress while Christian planned an assault on it, hindered by limited troops and the enemy fleet. Christian realized the lord could send Cape City's warships and ordered a messenger to request them.

• Raimon learned that the fifty-thousand-man vanguard had been wiped out and chose to defend Werner Count's Fortress alongside Sea God City.
• Christian planned to split her forces, leading the main legion against Werner Count's Fortress while Kubbo, Fiona, and Barbarian Priest held off Sea God City's reinforcements.
• Christian explained that the lord could provide only four hundred thousand troops because other forces were needed to defend against threats from the Underground City and the undead.
• Fiona noted that warships could support the fortress assault and tie down the enemy fleet, prompting Christian to send a messenger to request Cape City's warships.

Fang Yuan inspected the Underground City’s attack on Windy Grassland and advised Lin Ying to organize a counterattack against the Magic Dragon Underground City. Back in Wasteland Territory, he learned Christian needed naval support and ordered her to attack boldly because Helen’s fleet was already on its way.

• Fang Yuan met Lin Ying near Iron Shield City, where she explained that the undead had ambushed the allied forces and that the Mind Flayer Great Elder might be directing their tactics.
• Fang Yuan proposed attacking the Magic Dragon Underground City through the northwest and left Lin Ying to coordinate a counterattack with the other two nations.
• Fang Yuan told Gudrian that Lin Ying’s forces would keep much of the undead occupied, allowing him to plan an advance from Blackwater City.
• Fang Yuan returned to Wasteland Territory and learned that Christian was requesting naval support for her campaign against a fortified position near Sea God City.
• Helen reported that her fleet was already nearing Christian’s battlefield, so Fang Yuan sent word for Christian to attack without restraint.

Fang Yuan prepared an expedition against the undead east of the Lamo River and mobilized the forces needed to secure Blackwater City’s underground. A trade with a Dwarf Lord gave him a Golden Item that could waive one class advancement requirement, allowing his Rune Architect class to advance to the second tier.

• Fang Yuan ordered Black Fish Port to build transport and escort ships, then sent Grand Mage Meg to lead 5,000 Paladins toward the Great Necropolis across the Lamo River.
• Fang Yuan planned to clear the monster territories around Blackwater City and sought a Grey Dwarf hero to command its underground forces.
• Fang Yuan contacted a Dwarf Lord through the trade market and demanded a golden item in exchange for one of his Golden Curios.
• The Dwarf Lord offered a Golden Item for Lord alongside Orange equipment and a Grey Dwarf recruitment item, and Fang Yuan agreed after seeing the item's name.
• Fang Yuan discovered that the Golden Item could waive one class advancement requirement and realized his Rune Architect class could reach the second tier.

Fang Yuan used a Profession Upgrade Scroll to become a second-transformation Rune Creator, then learned that the profession could only be leveled by creating runes. After hearing that Sarah had reached the West Coast, he learned she had destroyed the Sea God City fleet while Christian attacked Werner Fortress.

• Fang Yuan used the Profession Upgrade Scroll and became a second-transformation Rune Creator, whose new skill let him create runes.
• Fang Yuan learned that a third profession transformation required creating a new profession and that he would need to wait until his main city reached Level 11.
• Fang Yuan used Dragon Soul Crystals to test their effect on his profession, but thirty-two crystals raised his experience by only one percent.
• Fang Yuan discovered that second-transformation professions gained levels by performing their core tasks, so he planned to create runes.
• The Guardian Spirit told Fang Yuan that Sarah had arrived at the West Coast, and Fang Yuan returned to the Lord's Hall with the Book of Curses.
• A Dragon Eagle Knight reported that Sarah had annihilated the Sea God City fleet and that Christian was attacking Werner Fortress.

Fang Yuan reviewed Sarah’s victory at sea, then enhanced a Grey Dwarf’s Dragon Slayer Medal and used it to summon a hero. Dragon Slayer Albert appeared and agreed to join Fang Yuan’s ranks.

• Fang Yuan learned that Sarah had destroyed Sea God City’s fleet and was securing its harbor while sending ships to support Christian.
• Fang Yuan used twenty Orange Curios to enhance the Grey Dwarf’s Dragon Slayer Medal to +13, giving it a high chance to awaken Grey Dwarves with high-level Dragon Bloodline.
• Fang Yuan used his Blessing talent and received the Orange Arrow of the God of Love.
• Fang Yuan placed the enhanced medal on the Sage Stone Slab and recruited Dragon Slayer Albert, who said he would join if Fang Yuan promised to kill a dragon.
• Albert agreed to join Fang Yuan’s ranks, and the recruitment prompt appeared.

Fang Yuan inspected Dragon Slayer Albert’s powerful skills and equipped him with the Grey Dwarf Fury Set, then enhanced the set to +18. The upgraded equipment gained formidable attributes, though its exact effects were left for Fang Yuan to examine.

• Fang Yuan reviewed Albert’s five skills, including his ability to transform into a Black Dragon and turn Ground Dragon Knights into flying Golden Black Wyrmling Knights.
• Fang Yuan brought Albert to the Lord’s Hall and gave him the Grey Dwarf-exclusive Fury Set, whose Rage Aura granted mental-control immunity and could double units’ attributes when Rage reached 100.
• Fang Yuan decided to enhance the Fury Set using thirty pieces of Orange Equipment in Clara’s Alchemy Furnace.
• The enhancement succeeded at +18 after twelve failed attempts, and Fang Yuan found that the set’s attributes were comparable to Golden equipment.

Fang Yuan equipped Albert with the enhanced Fury Set and sent him to command Blackwater City, then dispatched a warlock’s letter to Lilith and examined an ancient Divine Script Diary with Helen. Helen’s partial translation hinted at the God King, the Starry Sky Ancient Road, and a Creation Magic Rune before Fang Yuan received news that the Sea of Perdition Outpost Camp had been completed.

• Fang Yuan gave Albert the +18 Fury Set and ordered him to lead the Grey Dwarves to Blackwater City to eliminate the invading Underground Monsters.
• Fang Yuan opened the Warlock’s Letter quest and sent Klein Byrd to deliver the letter to Lilith in the Bloody Wasteland, instructing her to complete the quest first.
• Fang Yuan asked Helen to decipher the Divine Script Diary, and she translated fragments about the God King, the Starry Sky Ancient Road, and the Creation Magic Rune.
• Fang Yuan connected the translated fragments to the ancient conflict with the Dark Ancient Gods and wondered whether the God King and the concealed road might return after the Great Annihilation.
• Helen suggested the text was a prophecy, and Fang Yuan said the Creation Magic Rune was closely connected to them before receiving notification that the Sea of Perdition Outpost Camp had been completed.

Fang Yuan established a foothold in the Sea of Perdition and learned a Rune Creator magic rune to repair a teleportation array. As Sarah and Christian advanced toward Sea God City, the Sea God Church sought peace with Fang Yuan.

• Fang Yuan visited his outpost in the Sea of Perdition, found the region desolate, and arranged for guards to watch for the islands sinking.

• A Dragon Eagle Knight reported that Sarah had captured Sea God City's naval base and Sarah and Christian's forces were marching on the city.
• The Sea God Church contacted Fang Yuan to negotiate peace as he planned to take Sea God City and expand eastward.

Fang Yuan agreed to negotiate for Sea God City's peaceful handover and planned to turn the West Coast Plains into a multi-faction territory to attract lords away from the Evil Gods. As Zhao Zixiao prepared to contact the Sea God Church, its leader ordered an army to cross the West Coast Mountains and strike Gondor.

• Zhao Zixiao told Fang Yuan that Sea God City threatened to destroy itself unless Fang Yuan granted it territory in the West Coast Plains and negotiated compensation.
• Fang Yuan agreed to negotiate, set a deadline for the end of the day, and told Zhao Zixiao not to reply too hastily.
• Zhao Zixiao reported that his Northwest Direction alliance had fewer than ten members and argued that forming it there was impractical.
• Fang Yuan planned to dissolve the Northwest alliance and have Zhao Zixiao lease West Coast Plains territory to lords from any faction, recruiting them as allies and future cannon fodder.
• Zhao Zixiao agreed to negotiate Sea God City's handover, while the Sea God Church leader ordered its army to cross the West Coast Mountains and attack Gondor.

Fang Yuan reinforced the West Coast Plains and upgraded his northern Military Territories to prepare for a possible war with Sea God City. When 300,000 Unknown Legions crossed the West Coast Mountains, he ordered the branch city to defend itself and told Loyes to counterattack without restraint.

• Fang Yuan sent 500,000 troops from Valley Garrison, Marigold Pioneer Fortress, and Northern Fortress to Red Cap Armored Castle for Vivian to deploy.
• Fang Yuan upgraded Iron Shield City, Windy Trade City, and Elephantman Tribe Military Territory to Level Ten, while abandoning the other northern Resource Territories.
• Fang Yuan decided to turn the Colorful Clothes Alliance's southern branch city into an economic center after the West Coast fighting ended.
• A scout reported that 300,000 Unknown Legions had crossed the West Coast Mountains and split into forces advancing on the branch city and Diat Crossbow Castle.
• Fang Yuan ordered the branch city's defenders to remain inside and told Loyes at Diat Crossbow Castle to attack without restraint.

The Sea God Church and a New World Alliance mercenary force split their armies to seize a fortress and Fang Yuan’s Rainbow Cloud Alliance Valley Branch City. Hom lured the attackers into the city, then unleashed hidden troops to counterattack and destroy their force.

• The Sea God Church leader and the New World Alliance lord agreed to divide their three hundred thousand troops, sending the mercenaries to take the branch city and the Sea God Church to attack a fortress.
• Hom received warning of an approaching army of at least one hundred and fifty thousand and ordered the Original Blood Forest Giants to defend the walls while the Golden Legion stayed hidden.
• The attackers used magic ballistae, siege ladders, and Goblin Airships to overwhelm the giants and seize most of the walls before their main force entered the city.
• Hom’s concealed troops emerged and slaughtered the invaders on the walls, while three thousand pikemen attacked the soldiers surrounding the main fortress.
• Hom killed the enemy commander with his Armor-Piercing Hammer and ordered his troops to leave no invaders alive.

The Central Continent lords and Sea God Church launched attacks on Fang Yuan’s territory, expecting easy victories, but Fang Yuan’s forces trapped and annihilated the invading army. The Sea God Church retreated from the West Coast Plains as black-mist creatures advanced, while Christian ordered the assault on Sea God City to begin.

• The Central Continent lords celebrated their advance toward Gondor’s outlying city while the Sea God Church’s pontiff grew anxious about his silent 150,000-strong legion attacking a castle.
• The pontiff used a Mirror Spell to reveal a vast horde of Dark Soul Bodies outside the castle, including a black-mist creature carrying a huge bow.
• Reports confirmed that Fang Yuan had ambushed the invading force: its commander was killed, the city was sealed, and nearly all 150,000 troops were wiped out.
• The lords learned that an Unknown Legion was crossing the West Coast Mountains toward Moon Hill, and the hired forces fled as the Sea God Church ordered a retreat from the West Coast Plains.
• Outside Sea God City, Christian ordered five hundred Magic Crystal Cannons to fire and seize the city by Fang Yuan’s command.

Fang Yuan’s forces advanced on Sea God City while he threatened the Sea God Church with Loyes’s power if they destroyed it. The church surrendered the city and over a million Sea God faction novice lords, leaving Fang Yuan to face the problem of what to do with the prisoners.

• Helen reported that the southern subsidiary city had repelled an invasion at heavy cost, and Fang Yuan ordered the Original Blood Forest Giants moved to the front lines instead of reinforcing the garrison.
• Helen told Fang Yuan that Loyes had slaughtered nearly 1.5 million besiegers at Crossbow Castle and marched toward West Coast Moon Hill with an army of Black Mist Puppets; Fang Yuan decided to let the puppets dissipate after the war.
• Helen reported that Christian’s forces had captured Sea God City’s outer defenses and were preparing to attack the next wall, so Fang Yuan warned Zhao Zixiao that he would send Loyes against the Sea God Church if it destroyed the city.
• The Sea God Church leader explained its failed attack on Gandor and offered to cede Sea God City if Fang Yuan spared at least half the church’s West Coast lords.
• After Zhao Zixiao delivered Fang Yuan’s threat, the Sea God Church leader agreed to surrender Sea God City, and more than a million Sea God faction novice lords surrendered with it.
• Fang Yuan received news of the surrender and worried about how to deal with the million-plus prisoners.

Fang Yuan approved Zhao Zixiao’s plan to recruit wavering Sea God Church lords into the Myriad Gods Alliance, while Loyes and the Black Soul Army disappeared inside a God of Love altar. Trapped in God of Love Space, Loyes began a transformation as its divine power clashed and fused with her own.

• Fang Yuan ordered Zhao Zixiao to register Sea God Church lords and use ten billion gold coins to establish the Myriad Gods Alliance, where members could work for pay regardless of faction.
• Fang Yuan assigned Zhao Zixiao most of the West Coast Plains, while Christian was to occupy Sea God City and Warship Island.
• Helen told Fang Yuan that Loyes and the entire Black Soul Army had vanished after exploring a God of Love altar at Moon Mound, though Loyes was still alive.
• Fang Yuan and Helen examined the Arrow of the God of Love and suspected that Loyes had entered God of Love Space, but they found no way to reach her.
• Inside God of Love Space, Loyes absorbed the dark-soul puppet as divine power eroded her black mist energy and began fusing with her own power.

The New World Alliance planned to break into the Kingdom of Nott while prioritizing its war against the Destiny's Ark Alliance, and Yang Aspect Holy Son urged Yin Aspect Holy Son to capture the opposing alliance leader. Meanwhile, Fang Yuan's forces scored more successes in Gondor, discovering the Undead Archmage's Great Necropolis and the Drow Elves' Underground City.

• The masked New World Alliance leader ordered defeated lords to support Gu Xiaosang in opening the passage to the Kingdom of Nott and said the alliance would focus on defeating the Destiny's Ark Alliance first.
• Gu Xiaosang refused to sign away her freedom without receiving a Greater Divine Power godhead, then left with the defeated lords to open the passage and learn about Fang Yuan.
• Yang Aspect Holy Son revealed himself and told Yin Aspect Holy Son to help crush the Harvest Goddess's forces; Yin Aspect Holy Son promised to open the passage within half a month.
• Yang Aspect Holy Son warned Yin Aspect Holy Son that Fang Yuan had taken the West Coast Plains and advised him to bring his remaining Gondor forces to the Kingdom of Nott.
• Mage Meg conquered the Wight Tower and found the location of the Undead Archmage's Great Necropolis, while Lord Albert discovered the Drow Elves' Underground City near Blackwater City.

Fang Yuan planned to cross the Lamo River and attack the Great Necropolis while securing the Paladin Castle and preparing to advance to Level 11. A warning about the New World Alliance and emerging advancement essences heightened his urgency, just as an urgent report arrived from Lilith.

• Fang Yuan told Helen that Gondor still faced hidden enemies, but he would focus his main army on opening a route to the Central Continent and reserve smaller forces for targeted attacks.
• Fang Yuan ordered Helen to mobilize the Demon Suppression, Scarlet Flame, Green Sea, and Zixiao Alliances for the eastern-bank campaign, and to urge Christian to return quickly.
• Fang Yuan received the Golden Building Card for Paladin Castle through his contract with the Undead Lord and anticipated pairing its Paladins with Christian as a powerful cavalry legion.

After Fang Yuan sent reinforcements to the Bloody Wasteland, Lilith organized an attack on the Berserk Orcs, while he learned that the Freedom Trade Alliance wanted to join his alliance. Ren Yuan revealed that the God of Murder had abandoned the alliance and that its members were supposedly all dead, leaving Fang Yuan questioning who had made the request.

• Fang Yuan sent knights and Flame Magi to the Bloody Wasteland, then went there himself to discuss Lilith's plan.
• Lilith explained that the Berserk Orcs were divine-power-polluted creatures and assigned Breni, Aria, and herself roles in an attack.
• Fang Yuan ordered the army to wipe out the Berserk Orcs before proceeding through the Teleportation Array and waiting to see whether his quest updated.
• Liu Zhenhan told Fang Yuan that White Eagle lords from the Freedom Trade Alliance had asked to join his alliance and develop the Western Great Plains together.
• Fang Yuan asked Ren Yuan about the Freedom Trade Alliance, and Ren Yuan said the God of Murder had abandoned its members as cannon fodder and they were all dead.

Ren Yuan warned Fang Yuan that God of Murder’s followers might infiltrate his forces, but Fang Yuan opened the West Coast Plains to factions willing to pay and invited the Dragon Nation to settle there. He sent Liu Zhenhan’s Bloodlust Alliance toward Deepwater City to seek a battlefield, then received the Berserker Bloodline and an offer to begin the gold-grade third stage of the Warlock’s Letter quest.

• Ren Yuan told Fang Yuan that God of Murder had turned his believing lords into divine-power puppets, and Fang Yuan decided to use the threat to sow conflict among the churches.
• Fang Yuan offered the Dragon Nation Moon Hill for free, opened the West Coast Plains to paying lords, and Ren Yuan ordered a large migration there.
• Fang Yuan told Liu Zhenhan not to contact the Freedom Trade Alliance but to let its lords settle in the West Coast Plains, then chose to send the Bloodlust Alliance east toward Deepwater City.
• Fang Yuan gave Liu Zhenhan Xu Fei’s contact and instructions to establish a route to Deepwater City through the Silver Moon Forest.
• Fang Yuan’s legion defeated the Berserker Legion, reclaimed the Teleportation Array, and completed the second stage of the Warlock’s Letter quest, earning Berserker Bloodline and an offer to start the gold-grade third stage.

Fang Yuan received the Berserker Bloodline and decided to use it to strengthen his Original Blood Forest Giants while preparing an expedition through the teleportation array to find Warlock Jian and the Green Dragon King's Godhead. The bloodline fused successfully, evolving the giants into the Orange Special Grade Original Blood Berserk Giants.

• Lilith and Aria returned from defeating the berserkers, bringing the Berserker Bloodline and reporting the battle's heavy resistance and losses.
• Lilith recommended sending a large elite force through the teleportation array, and Fang Yuan agreed to provide troops and Forbidden Spell support but kept Christian for the Great Necropolis campaign.
• Fang Yuan used Forced Conscription twice, transferred troops to Lilith, and ordered more Demon-Breaking Warriors, Dragon Eagle Knights, and Flame Magi produced.
• Fang Yuan fused the Berserker Bloodline with the Original Blood Forest Giant troop type, evolving it into the Orange Special Grade Original Blood Berserk Giant.

Fang Yuan prepared his armies to cross the Lamo River and attack the undead, while Christian brought him a key to the Elven Treasury and received command of the vanguard. As his forces set out on separate missions, the Magic Dragon Underground City fell into an enormous crisis.

• Fang Yuan reviewed the enhanced Original Blood Berserk Giant's skills and sent ten thousand giants and his other newly produced units to the Bloody Wasteland Outpost Camp.
