Chapter Summaries

Fang Yuan stole the Adventists' Dimensional Spear Scroll and learned from Lilith about its history, dangers, and connection to the conquest of other planes. Before opening more items, he decided to transfer the Banshee's Curse from the Golden Apple to the Human-faced Statue.

• Fang Yuan discovered that the stolen Dimensional Spear Scroll could tear space apart and realized its theft had disrupted the Adventists' plan to open a passage to Blue Star.
• Lilith explained that mages had used Dimensional Spears to access and conquer other planes, and warned that the scroll could cause a deadly spatial storm without the required energy source and plane coordinates.
• Lilith connected the mist to the Different Planes but said its source seemed to lie within their own world, beyond their ability to understand.
• Lilith suggested the Magic Thief Gloves might contain Void Rules, and Fang Yuan stored them and the Dimensional Spear Scroll in the warehouse.
• Lilith warned Fang Yuan that the Banshee's Curse still surrounded his territory with bad luck, so Fang Yuan chose the Human-faced Statue as the target for transferring it.

After the Dimensional Spear Scroll was stolen, the Adventists changed their invasion plan and postponed their attack, while Zhong Yun learned that the Poison Sting Organization’s main force had been wiped out. The Human-faced Statue arranged an assault on the Southern Alliance, then ran into a living Demigod Level godspawn while returning to the Northern Endless Mountains.

• The Human-faced Statue canceled the northern part of the World Breaking Plan and ordered the Adventists to prepare a three-sided assault on the Southern Alliance.
• Zhong Yun realized Fang Yuan’s forces might face only his Poison Sting troops, then learned their entire main force had been wiped out by a high-ranking commander from the Orange Monster’s territory.
• The Human-faced Statue told the Mind Flayer Great Elder to stop the sacrifices and described the revised plan to attack the Southern Alliance while Zhao Zixiao was unable to return.
• The Mind Flayer Great Elder urged the Human-faced Statue to proceed, and it left after sensing danger outside.
• A young godspawn tore through space and burrowed into the Human-faced Statue as it returned to the Northern Endless Mountains.

Fang Yuan used Golden Apples to redirect misfortune toward the lord of Misty Territory, then opened rewards and used a Building Fusion Scroll to combine the Wyvern and Wolf Hunter Barracks. The fusion succeeded, giving him an Orange Rare Dragon Hunter Barracks.

• Fang Yuan bought three Golden Apples and had Lilith modify them to transfer their misfortune toward the lord of Misty Territory.
• Fang Yuan opened a boosted Gold reward and obtained the Golden Flower Family Ring of Demon Breaking, bringing his Demon-Breaking Warrior components to two of five.
• Fang Yuan opened his remaining Orange rewards, receiving Orange Token Fragments and Purple Rare Alchemical Mine, then blessed himself and obtained Orange Tier Six Mobilization Orders, Slime's Mucus, and a Building Fusion Scroll.
• Fang Yuan chose to fuse the Wyvern Barracks with the Wolf Hunter Barracks, and the fusion succeeded, producing the Orange Rare Dragon Hunter Barracks.

Fang Yuan examined the Dragon Hunter unit and learned from Lilith how Dragon Hunters had helped defeat the dragon race. News arrived that monsters had wiped out the Northwestern Lord’s army, and Lilith sensed a God-Spawn in the Northern Territory.

• Fang Yuan reviewed the Dragon Hunter’s extreme stats and one-use crossbow, and concluded the unit would be of little use without dragons to hunt.
• Lilith explained that Dragon Hunters had brought down the Dragon Kingdom with their attacks and Dragon Blood Poison, before a dragon deity hunted them down.
• Fang Yuan remarked that dragons had joined the mist’s power and that Dragon Hunters were no longer very useful to him.
• A Griffin cavalryman reported that monsters in the Orange Monster territory had wiped out the Northwestern Lord’s army, and Fang Yuan suspected Misfortune Transfer was responsible.
• Lilith sensed a God-Spawn in the Northern Territory and realized it had slipped into the Old Continent.

Fang Yuan learned that a juvenile divine aberration might be present and prepared his territory for a possible beast tide while awaiting Vanas’s news. Elsewhere, the Eastern Territory Alliance disbanded as the undead crossed the Lamo River, and Strong Martial Alliance faced an imminent assault with no reinforcements.

• Lilith explained the origins, history, and likely behavior of divine aberrations, and Fang Yuan judged a juvenile one unlikely to threaten him but prepared contingencies.
• Fang Yuan reviewed his territory’s defenses, planned to trigger a beast tide after hearing from Vanas, ordered Yasis to clear beast nests, and began upgrading two camps.
• The Eastern Territory Alliance leaders retreated from Black Fish Port after the undead overwhelmed their defenses and the Southern Territory barred their entry.
• The alliance leaders split up to flee north and west or join the Rainbow Cloud Alliance in the south, and the undead crossed the Lamo River a day ahead of schedule.
• Strong Martial Alliance received reports of the retreat, approaching undead forces, an impending beast tide, and the Undead Archmage crossing the river, while both expected allies failed to send reinforcements.

The Adventists launched a coordinated attack as the seven-day novice period ended and Fang Yuan’s invincibility shield vanished. With a large-scale beast tide advancing on his territory, Fang Yuan entrusted the defense to Lilith.

• Jiang Caiyun reported that the Adventists had infiltrated the Rainbow Cloud Alliance and that the north had gone silent, so Fatty Jiang sent her away while he stayed to defend the Two Realms Passage.
• Adventists in the Zixiao Alliance failed to infiltrate the Two Realms Passage and considered attacking it from outside while waiting for the northern front.
• Zhong Yun ordered the northern Adventists to attack south when the planned signal did not arrive, but the Monster Lair and Troll Kingdom began moving just as they prepared to act.
• Fang Yuan’s seven-day novice period ended, his shield disappeared, and notifications announced that the Monster Lair had triggered a large-scale beast tide.
• Lilith identified the trolls’ war horn, and Fang Yuan showed her Vanas’s marked coordinates before entrusting the defense to her.

As the beast tide and other invasions threatened several Dragon Nation territories, Zhao Zixiao learned that United Kingdom of Gondor was under attack from four directions. With the teleportation array only partly repaired, he sent a Forbidden Spell scroll back to the battlefield and promised rewards to lords who would help defend the Southern Frontier.

• The Review Committee received reports of severe attacks in Silver Moon Forest and other regions, while High Court and Abyssal City had so far avoided catastrophic losses.
• The host reported that an Undead Archmage had broken free and that a Bone Dragon was attacking the Strong Martial Alliance's defenses in United Kingdom of Gondor.
• Zhao Zixiao learned that the Southern Frontier faced an Armed Merchant Group, a western beast tide, and a growing threat from the north, with Monster Lords and Adventists involved.
• Zhao Zixiao asked whether items could pass through the damaged teleportation array and learned that limited quantities could be sent.
• Zhao Zixiao sent a scroll containing the Forbidden Spell Dimensional Spear and offered lords who joined the Southern Frontier defense an orange-grade item, one million gold coins, and resources.

As the Crimson Flame Alliance learned that the Eastern Territory’s major alliances were being devastated, it uncovered the history of the Gloomy Forest and held off on entering it. The Human-faced Statue then ordered the Adventists to attack Fang Yuan, prompting their leaders to mobilize for an assault from the south and northeast.

• Zhao Zixiao’s appeal for help drew ridicule as lords described the beast tide’s destruction across Gondor and reported that the north seemed safe.
• The Crimson Flame Alliance discussed the collapse of the Sacred Sword Alliance, the Wind Snow Alliance, and its allies, while learning that an unidentified army had attacked near the Gloomy Forest.
• The Crimson Flame Alliance Leader explained the northwest forest’s abandoned noble territories and ordered his lords to avoid the forest but defend themselves if attacked.
• The Human-faced Statue announced that Fang Yuan had stopped the northern beast tide and ordered the Adventists to attack his territory with monsters and Bone Dragons.
• Chen Sanqi identified Fang Yuan as a level-six lord, and Zhong Yun speculated that he had two Golden Heroes; the Adventists then mobilized to attack from the northeast.

Fang Yuan and Lilith defended the Main Territory against a massive beast tide while waiting for the Troll Kingdom’s army to enter range. With enemies also threatening Griffon Castle and the southern front, Fang Yuan ordered Lilith to unleash Meteor Fire Rain as the trolls arrived.

• Fang Yuan explained to Lilith how beast tides had instilled fear in Blue Star’s lords, then ordered her to defend the Main Territory and attack his southern Resource Territory.
• The beast tide overwhelmed the warning wall and pressed against the Main City Wall, killing many Flame Mages as Magic Crossbows failed to stop the monsters.
• Fang Yuan sent the Titan Mech in Dragon Form to burn and bomb the horde, then ordered more Flame Mages produced while Lilith warned that Orange Thunderbirds would kill them quickly.
• Reports revealed beast tides threatening Griffon Castle from the west and a Bone Dragon Legion attacking to the south, forcing Fang Yuan to weigh which front to reinforce.
• After the trolls entered the attack zone, Fang Yuan ordered Lilith to begin, and she invoked the forbidden spell Meteor Fire Rain.

Green Dragon Fas sent his monster armies south while the godspawn’s corruption forced him into slumber, expecting the Troll Kingdom to overwhelm the humans. Meteor Fire Rain annihilated the trolls and their lairs, and news arrived that the Undead Knight and Bone Dragon had also been ambushed and wiped out.

• Fas, a Mist Lord corrupted by a godspawn, ordered his subordinate Monster Lords to send the monster tide south before he fell asleep.
• Fas learned that Fang Yuan had blocked the monsters’ route, but he used his remaining strength to issue the attack order and trusted the Troll Kingdom’s Heavy Armored Army to break through.
• Meteor Fire Rain lit the northern sky, and Fas recognized the ultimate spell before the pain in his soul drove him into eternal sleep.
• The meteorites destroyed the Troll King’s army, the other monsters, and their lairs across the northern border.
• The Crimson Flame Alliance Leader and the Adventist lords watched the devastation in shock, then learned that the Undead Knight and Bone Dragon had been ambushed and totally annihilated.

Zhong Yun and the Adventist lords planned to bypass the beast tide and raid Fang Yuan’s territory, believing his defenses were weakened. After defeating the undead in the south, Christian learned of the incoming enemy and organized an ambush to encircle and destroy them near Desperate Territory Monastery.

• Zhong Yun told the Adventist lords that Fang Yuan had two Golden Heroes, but insisted they could not abandon their orders without instructions from above.
• The Adventist lords decided to use the beast tide to distract Fang Yuan’s forces while their armies bypassed Griffon Castle and raided his inner territory.
• Christian, in Angel Battle Armor, killed all thirty bone dragons, while Breni’s Demon Knight Order and the ground troops defeated the remaining undead.
• Breni told Christian that enemy legions had bypassed the beast tide and were advancing toward Desperate Territory, so Christian identified the monastery’s approaches as a place to trap them.
• Christian ordered Breni to block the enemy’s retreat, Harold to hold the monastery, and his own Valley Legion to attack from the flank.

Fang Yuan faced a surprise attack on his vulnerable inner territory while waiting for Lilith’s Meteor Fire Rain to end, but Christian’s forces defeated the southern enemies and trapped the attackers. The Adventists’ failed assault left Zhong Yun terrified when he heard that the Mist Saint had selected him as its target.

• Lilith warned Fang Yuan that the northern passage opened by the Meteor Fire Rain could expose his territory to monsters, and Fang Yuan considered securing the spoils before expanding further.
• A Griffon Knight reported that Griffon Castle was surrounded and an unfamiliar lord’s legion was marching toward the monastery, so Fang Yuan prepared to defend the monastery or abandon the south.
• Another Griffon Knight reported that Christian and Harold had slain thirty Golden Bone Dragons, Breni had destroyed the southern ground forces, and their armies were closing on the surprise attackers.
• At Rotten Castle, Zhong Yun assured the Adventist councilors that their assault on Fang Yuan’s territory would succeed, but a messenger reported that the vanguard had been repulsed and Fang Yuan’s cavalry was attacking from behind.
• Fang Yuan’s forces routed the Adventist legion, killing its heroes and destroying its troops, while Zhong Yun learned that the Mist Saint had selected him as its target.

After Christian’s forces lifted the siege of Desperate Territory, Fang Yuan shifted his attention to the beast tide at Griffon Castle and the resources needed to end it. A regional message then warned that the Zixiao Alliance was under attack and the Two Realms Passage had been destroyed in Southern Border.

• Christian spotted Blood Crows rising from the battlefield and ordered Harold to clear and burn the corpses while he reported the omen to Fang Yuan.
• A Griffon Knight reported that the monastery’s defensive array had held until Breni and Christian arrived, allowing Christian’s forces to rout the besieging army and lift the siege of Desperate Territory.
• Fang Yuan reflected that losing Desperate Territory could have jeopardized his other territories, and he approved Christian’s plan for Breni and Yasis to join forces against the beast tide at Griffon Castle.
• Fang Yuan used Orange Mobilization Orders to produce Griffon Knights at Griffon Castle, which automatically became Sword Griffons under Yasis, then realized he had run out of Mobilization Orders.
• A regional group message warned Fang Yuan that the Zixiao Alliance was under attack and the Two Realms Passage had been destroyed in Southern Border.

Fang Yuan learned that the southern territory had been breached and heard Christian’s warning about Blood Crows near the northwest. After using Blessing to gain gold, recruitment orders, and troops, he checked the regional channel and discovered that a Forbidden Spell Scroll had been stolen.

• Fang Yuan questioned how the southern territory could have fallen so quickly, and Christian warned him that Blood Crows had appeared near Desperate Territory and might be connected to the northwest lords.
• Fang Yuan decided to send Vanas toward the northwest after the enemies at Griffon Castle were dealt with, while Christian volunteered to help end the fighting there.
• Christian told Fang Yuan that a bone dragon had dropped an Orange Token that might match Xu Fei’s Broken Sword Token.
• Fang Yuan used Blessing to obtain two million gold coins, three Orange Tenth Tier Mobilization Orders, and an Orange Rapid Recruitment Order.
• Fang Yuan used the Rapid Recruitment Order on Valley Garrison and distributed its new troops among the garrison, the main city, Desperate Territory, and the Southern Undead territory.
• Fang Yuan opened the regional channel and saw a message that the Forbidden Spell Scroll had been stolen.

Fang Yuan learned that the southern region’s alliances were collapsing after Adventists destroyed the Zixiao Alliance’s headquarters and the Two Realms Passage, and the Forbidden Spell Scroll went missing. As he resolved to focus on surviving the beast tide, he discovered that a huge undead army had built a Great Necropolis near the northern Ogre Hills, where the Crimson Flame Alliance prepared for an attack.

• Fang Yuan learned that Adventists had crippled the Zixiao Alliance, destroyed the Two Realms Passage, and caused the Strong Martial Alliance to collapse after the Forbidden Spell Scroll disappeared.
• Fang Yuan concluded that the Rainbow Cloud Alliance would likely fall and decided to expand his territory to conceal his main city and protect himself.
• Zhao Sheng told Fang Yuan that three hundred thousand high-tier undead, including three hundred bone dragons, had built a Great Necropolis near the northern Ogre Hills.
• Fang Yuan marked the Great Necropolis on his map but decided to wait until he survived the beast tide before attacking it.
• The Crimson Flame Alliance learned that the Undead Archmage had shifted forces north and ordered its members to build three lines of defense and request resources from the southern alliances.

The Zixiao Alliance split apart as its lords abandoned the Southern Territory’s failing negotiations, while Blood Raven revealed that four Mist Saints were gathering in Gondor to seek a godhead. As the final battle began near Griffon Castle, Blood Raven prepared a multi-front assault on Fang Yuan.

• The Rainbow Cloud Alliance demanded that the Zixiao Alliance send its main forces to face the beast tide, but the negotiations failed and the Zixiao Alliance’s lords divided over whether to stay or leave.
• Most subordinate-alliance lords abandoned Zhao Zixiao’s main city, causing the Southern Territory’s largest alliance bloc to disintegrate; the remaining Zixiao Alliance lords migrated toward Zhao Zixiao’s true main city.
• Blood Raven learned that the Undead Archmage and Adventist lords were preparing attacks on Fang Yuan, then ordered forces from the north, east, west, and underground to join the assault.
• Blood Raven transformed the rotating chair into Blood Raven Lord 01 and ordered him to control the Orange Source Crystal, while deciding to turn other Blue Star traitors into Monster Lords.
• Fang Yuan’s main force assembled southwest of Griffon Castle, and the final battle began.

Christian took command of the defense at Griffon Castle and devised a risky beheading tactic to draw the beast tide's forces apart and kill its Snake People Beast King. The plan left the battlefield in chaos, with Breni's resurrected Demon Knights breaking through the encirclement as Christian confronted the fleeing Beast King.

• Christian rejected Yasis's plan to wear down the beast tide and ordered Yasis to lure away the Harpies, beholders, and Dwarf Firearms while Breni attacked the Ogres and Snake People main army.
• Yasis led the Griffon Knights out of Griffon Castle, scattered the Harpies, and killed their strongest commander before the Snake People Beast King ordered a barrage against them.
• The Snake People Beast King sent forces to pursue the Griffon Knights and prepared to attack the apparently unguarded castle, but Breni's Demon Knights struck the central army from the flank.
• The Snake People broke through the Demon Knights' depleted shields and encircled them, but Breni used Soul Rebirth to restore the fallen knights at full health.
• The resurrected Demon Knights smashed through the Snake People's four-armed mages, while Christian confronted the Beast King as he tried to escape.

Fang Yuan learned about the Yi Sheng Alliance’s intelligence services and the hidden Underground Tavern Market, which would unlock when his main city reached level seven. Reports then confirmed his forces had routed the southwest beast tide, allowing him to survive its large-scale mutation and qualify for a main city upgrade.

• Fang Yuan agreed to trade with the Yi Sheng Alliance and asked it to investigate the Great Necropolis, the Blood Crows, and the Adventists.
• The Yi Sheng Alliance shared preliminary information about the Great Necropolis and explained that its strength could rise to Golden Quality if a Golden Undead Archmage moved in.
• Fang Yuan paid 10,000 gold to learn about the Underground Tavern Market, a concealed trading function inside the Mercenary Hall that unlocked at main city level seven.
• Fang Yuan considered sending Harold to help at Griffon Castle, but battle reports arrived showing Yasis, Breni, Christian, and the Sword-type Griffon Knight had routed the southwest enemies.
• Fang Yuan received a Golden-quality reward chest and the Terminator of the Monster Tide LV1 achievement after surviving the mutated large-scale beast tide with one person surviving.
• Fang Yuan learned that all prerequisites were complete and his main city could be upgraded to level seven.

Fang Yuan upgraded Wilderness Territory to Level 7 and reviewed the conditions for reaching Level 8, identifying Purple Building technology as his main obstacle. After the first spoils from the Undead Territory arrived, he went to the warehouse to inspect them and see what task the two tokens could unlock.

• Fang Yuan used five Orange Tier 6 Mobilization Orders to complete the seven-month upgrade of his main city to Level 7.
• Fang Yuan reviewed the Level 8 upgrade conditions and decided to seek an Alchemy Hut and raise his profession so he could unlock Purple Building technology.

• Fang Yuan checked the cost of upgrading his buildings and planned to wait for the spoils from the beast tide to arrive.
• Fang Yuan received the first batch of spoils from the Undead Territory and teleported to the warehouse to inspect the tokens and unlock a task.

Fang Yuan merged the incomplete bead with the Broken Short Sword and accepted a quest to rescue the eldest son of the Chexi Family, whose plea revealed a catastrophe in the Magic Empire’s past. After reading it, Lilith said the empire’s defeats in the Northern Borderlands had been caused by a divine plot connected to a divine spark.

• Fang Yuan searched the warehouse spoils and found the Incomplete Bead, then merged it with the Broken Short Sword to reveal an Orange quest token.
