Xiao Tianyang decided that Jing Hongchen had to die and ordered Yue Shen to force Lin Jiayi into rebuilding the Sun Moon Empire’s power. After Xiao Tianyang left through the Teleportation Gate, Yan Lingji learned that Yue Shen believed they had acted too late.

• Yan Lingji told Xiao Tianyang that Lin Jiayi resisted taking power and that Jing Hongchen was a more capable but dangerous candidate.
• Xiao Tianyang ordered Yue Shen to act freely, insisted that Jing Hongchen must die, and said Lin Jiayi had to take the position by any necessary means.

Xiao Tianyang inspected the Crystal Bone Tribe’s new War Beast, a weapon built from the remains of the Senluo Giant Elephant King. After seeing it smash through a mountain range in its first form, he learned that the tribe had prepared a second form and watched as Skeleton began activating it.

• Yue Shen told Yan Lingji to carry out Xiao Tianyang’s orders and leave the Sun Moon Empire’s affairs to them.

• Skeleton activated the War Beast’s first form, and it charged through a mountain range with its tusks.
• Xiao Tianyang asked about the War Beast’s second form, and Skeleton began activating it.

Duma demonstrated the Crystal Bone Tribe’s weapon-packed War Beast to Xiao Tianyang, showcasing its devastating firepower, flight, weapon storm, and spear techniques. He explained that the War Beast was not yet a peak creation and said Chaugnar and Fagern’s true bodies would bring its combat power to its current peak.

Xiao Tianyang and Satan’s generals finalized their plans for the coming war against Gnar Fagern, while Xiao Tianyang remained confident in their chances of victory. The meeting ended with the generals boasting about the coming conquest and eyeing the spoils they hoped to claim.

• Xiao Tianyang let Satan and the others handle the war preparations, then agreed to their plan to depart at eight that night.
• Satan assigned Baal to secure a foothold, Mammon to cut off the supply route, and Duma to lay ambushes and lead the mountain assault.
• Satan said he and Xiao Tianyang would accompany Duma’s forces and that a failure there would halt their operation.
• Satan revealed that Allen had arranged for Heroic Spirits from the Douluo Continent to arrive at six that evening and reinforce their army.
• Baal and Mammon reasoned that Gnar Fagern’s territory would suit body cultivators and discussed the Heroic Spirits and Filth Qi they hoped to acquire.
• Mammon declared that he would support Duma after cutting off the enemy’s passage, while Satan warned the generals against dividing the spoils before victory.

Eternal Night’s army entered Gnar Fagern’s territory and began building a fortified foothold while defending against attacks. Xiao Tianyang and the others assessed the enemy’s strength and their plan to hold the passage as the chapter left Gnar Fagern’s forces facing a sealed plane and few options to respond.

• Baal ordered Taurus to patrol and kill any living creatures, while Red Bull, Black Bull, and White Bull began building the War Fortress and clearing nearby roads.
• Eternal Night’s leaders weighed Gnar Fagern’s strength, the unreliable informant, the powerful Plane Spirit, and the need to secure a lasting passage for logistics and retreat.
• Xiao Tianyang arrived and praised the Mad Bull Clan’s construction abilities after seeing the War Fortress take shape.
• Baal reported that his forces had defeated two waves of ogres, while Taurus and their traps dealt with later intruders.
• Satan concluded that Gnar Fagern would likely take a defensive stance, and Duma explained that the Holy Lord had sealed the plane, preventing enemy troops from returning through another passage.

Xiao Tianyang watched Baal and Duma launch a probing attack against the Two-headed Ogre, who was quickly overwhelmed by their coordinated assault. Just as Duma moved to finish it, a strange machine emerged from underground and attacked, prompting Baal and Duma to pursue as the enemy began retreating.

• Satan and the Aries Clan prepared Baal and the others with enhancement spells before the probing attack began.
• Duma split the Two-headed Ogre’s black flames with his bone spear and wounded its soul, but the ogre escaped the follow-up strike using its Substitution Technique.
• Baal struck the Two-headed Ogre with his totem and shattered its bones, while Duma moved in to attack its heart.
• A bizarre machine burst from underground, fired missiles at Duma, and scattered smoke bombs as the enemy attempted to retreat.
• Baal and Duma used Royal Knight and Trample to pursue the retreating enemy.

Gnar Fagern raged at his forces for returning from battle without identifying their attackers, until a Mili Nigri prophet revealed a terrifying vision that let him recognize the threat. Realizing that Eternal Night’s forces had reached his hidden plane, Gnar Fagern ordered the City of High Mountains sealed and defended.

• Gnar Fagern berated the wounded Two-headed Ogre and Goblin Chieftain for failing to identify their enemies, then ordered them to return and withdraw their troops.
• A Mili Nigri prophet entered and warned Gnar Fagern that a demonic dragon, a minotaur, and a skeleton heralded a World-Ending Lotus and a Sword of the Gods; the prophet died after delivering the vision.
• Gnar Fagern recognized the attackers as Mammon, Baal, and Duma, and understood that Xiao Tianyang and Eternal Night were involved.
• Gnar Fagern panicked over how his enemies had opened a passage to his hidden plane and ordered his forces back, the Mountain Protection Array activated, and the City of High Mountains sealed.

Chaugnar Fagern ordered his forces to unleash their backup Abominations and prepare a costly defense against Eternal Night after its forces infiltrated the mountains. Outside, Xiao Tianyang chose not to intervene, leaving Baal and Duma to fight the battle themselves.

• The new Senluo Elephant Clan chief reported that the passages to the Sea of Ten Thousand Evils were cut off, a powerful intruder had destroyed three bases and four strongholds, and the damage bore signs of a powerful flame.
• Chaugnar Fagern reconsidered his assumptions about Xiao Tianyang and ordered the creatures of Experimental Plane One deployed while the entrances were sealed, leaving the ogre tribe to face the invaders before withdrawing through a secret passage.
• Baal and Duma's first probing attack ended after severely injuring the leaders of two races, while the cannon fodder they had sent ahead perished in the Dark Forest.
• Satan warned Xiao Tianyang that Chaugnar Fagern would deploy Abominations, but Xiao Tianyang accepted Satan's view that Baal and the others should handle the battle without his assistance.

Xiao Tianyang watched as Satan outlined the unchanged assault plan, with War Machines advancing against the Ogre Tribe on two fronts. Duma’s bombardment began, revealing the Crystal Bone Tribe’s weapons could turn ordinary ammunition into flaming projectiles and throwing the Ogres into panic.

• Xiao Tianyang asked Satan whether the unexpected variable had changed the plan, and Satan said the original plan would proceed with Baal and Duma switching positions.
• Satan explained that War Machines had been deployed and Taurus was advancing the War Fortress, while Mammon’s operation would coincide with Duma’s mountain assault.
• Xiao Tianyang observed the Crystal Bone Tribe’s War Machines moving toward the Ogre Tribe’s mountainous territory as the War Fortress advanced.
• Duma ordered the catapults, cannons, and Laser Cannons to bombard the enemy in turns.
• An Ogre hurled a boulder to counter the catapult, but it shattered when the Crystal Bone Tribe’s flaming projectile struck it, frightening the Ogres and the Two-headed Ogre.

Duma's forces battered the Ogre Tribe's Frontline with meteorites and artillery before advancing under cover of Chaugnar Fagern's white mist. Xiao Tianyang watched from the War Fortress as Satan warned that the mist's early use suggested Chaugnar Fagern had another plan.

• Duma's siege force opened its assault with waves of meteorites, artillery, and laser fire, devastating the Ogre Tribe's positions.
• Chaugnar Fagern enveloped the mountain range in white mist that swallowed incoming attacks and silenced their impacts.
• Duma ordered the giant machines to cease fire and sent Siege Engines, arrow towers, and Light Prism Tanks forward, followed by the matchlock, Laser Gun, and powder keg squads.
• The Crystal Bone Tribe's soldiers advanced in disciplined formations, killing ogres and goblins and destroying their machines as Xiao Tianyang watched.
• Xiao Tianyang predicted that Duma's forces could reach the heartland within two hours and wondered what Chaugnar Fagern had prepared.
• Satan told Xiao Tianyang that the mist was likely the mountain range's strongest defense and that Chaugnar Fagern's use of it so early indicated another plan; he also said the assassination plan had to be postponed.

Duma’s Crystal Bone Tribe pushed the ogres and goblins back with a disciplined assault while Baal’s forces attacked from the flank. Satan sensed that Chaugnar Fagern had empowered Mammon’s enemies through a life-draining array, revealing that their counterattack was meant to hide a greater purpose.

• Baal sent White Bull, Red Bull, and their troops to attack from the flank while Satan used Conceal the Heavens and Cross the Sea to conceal them.
• Duma coordinated the Crystal Bone Tribe’s advance and deployed the Barrels of Explosives, whose detonations set the battlefield ablaze before his troops resumed their attack.
• Xiao Tianyang noticed that Mammon’s side had been pushed back and saw the enemy troops transformed into ghost-like figures.
• Satan sensed Mammon’s predicament and discovered that Chaugnar Fagern had used foul beliefs and Abominations’ power to strengthen two Servant Races and one Derived Race by draining their life force.
• Satan explained that Chaugnar Fagern’s counterattack was a distraction and that the enemy’s true purpose remained concealed.

Xiao Tianyang sent a soul clone to investigate the vanished Plane Spirit aura and discovered something that intrigued him. Meanwhile, Gnar Fagern prepared a coming gift and discussed the Abominations’ descent with Drus, who offered to relocate its coordinates.

• Xiao Tianyang told Satan that their opponent had prepared escape routes and a scheme, then sent a soul clone to investigate while Satan stayed behind.
• Xiao Tianyang searched for the Plane Spirit, pushed his senses to their limits, and detected something before tearing open the Void to pursue it.
• Gnar Fagern returned to his mountain stronghold, anticipated Eternal Night receiving an empty plane, and said another gift would soon arrive.
• Drus reported that the backup teleporter would open in ten days and asked where the Abominations should descend.
• Drus offered to take responsibility for relocating the descent coordinates.

Gnar Fagern sent Drus to use the Abominations against Eternal Night, unaware that Drus had already betrayed him. Xiao Tianyang slipped into Gnar Fagern’s mountain stronghold, overheard their conversation, and learned that Drus was preparing to act.

• Gnar Fagern decided to exploit Drus as a mobile coordinate to send Abominations against Eternal Night and promised to return Drus’s plane if he succeeded.
• Drus thanked Gnar Fagern while secretly mocking him and preparing to betray him.
• Xiao Tianyang entered the mountain in soul form while Gnar Fagern was distracted by Drus.
• Xiao Tianyang overheard their conversation and realized Drus was already preparing to act.

Xiao Tianyang tracked Gnar Fagern’s aura to a void-like space and discovered that Gnar Fagern was using a furnace to revert the Plane Spirit into a Plane Core. He planned to secretly accelerate the process and take the Plane Core before Gnar Fagern returned, while having Satan distract him.

• Xiao Tianyang followed the aura into a void-like space near the boundary between the plane and the outside world.
• He found a furnace containing the Plane Spirit and realized that Gnar Fagern intended to revert it into an unconscious Plane Core.
• Xiao Tianyang deduced that Gnar Fagern had trapped the Plane Spirit using the Heaven and Earth Rules he controlled, and that Eternal Night’s arrival had sped up his plan.
• Xiao Tianyang concluded that he needed to ripen the Plane Core secretly and take it before Gnar Fagern returned, with Satan drawing Gnar Fagern’s attention away.
• Xiao Tianyang prepared to shift his consciousness back to his main body, wary that the furnace or Gnar Fagern’s aura could expose his soul clone.

Xiao Tianyang enlisted Satan and Duma to draw Gnar Fagern’s attention while he prepared to act on his own. Satan changed the plan to lure enemy forces toward him, clearing the way for Duma’s assault as the frontline pressure mounted.

• Xiao Tianyang told Satan about his discovery and asked him to coordinate a diversion with Baal and the others so he could remain unnoticed.
• Duma proposed advancing the frontline ten kilometers and moving the artillery forward to support Mammon, while Satan suggested using Drus as a pretext for the operation.
• Xiao Tianyang agreed to begin acting in three hours and told Satan to inform him if the plan changed.
• Duma reported that ogres and Goblins had formed a second line of defense, but said their new fanatic faith would only delay his advance briefly.
• Satan decided to engage Drus early and draw enemy forces toward himself so Duma could launch an all-out offensive.

Xiao Tianyang prepared to accelerate the Plane Spirit's refinement while concealing his involvement and disguising himself as Chaugnar Fagern. He completed the transformation, leaving himself ready to carry out the plan.

• Xiao Tianyang chose the Eight Trigrams Furnace to speed up refining the Plane Spirit, despite the risks of using it at full power.
• Xiao Tianyang selected the Sky Barrier, the Magic Mirror, and the Imitation Fruit to conceal the activity, create an illusion, and imitate Chaugnar Fagern.
• Xiao Tianyang learned from Satan that Chaugnar Fagern planned to refine the Plane Spirit and frame Eternal Night for its disappearance.
• Xiao Tianyang swallowed the Imitation Fruit and used a secret technique to become corporeal as its power changed his body.
• Xiao Tianyang transformed completely into Chaugnar Fagern.

Xiao Tianyang began cautiously refining a mysterious furnace while Satan lured Drus into a trap to draw out Chaugnar?Fagern. The confrontation escalated just as reinforcements arrived, leaving Satan to face an approaching threat.

• Xiao Tianyang used the [Sky Barrier] and [Magic Mirror] to conceal and disguise the mysterious space, then used the [Eight Trigrams Furnace] to heat the furnace without damaging it.
• Satan attacked Drus in a forest and gave him ten minutes for reinforcements to arrive, intending to draw Chaugnar?Fagern out.
• Satan used Ghost Domain and Ray against Drus, but Chaugnar?Fagern appeared and blocked the attacks.
• Satan challenged Chaugnar?Fagern and prepared another Ray, then stopped when the ground trembled and dust swirled nearby.

Duma held the Frontline against repeated attacks while Mammon and Baal’s forces failed to gain a decisive advantage in the mountains. Ten days later, Duma learned that the enemy had tried to tunnel into the walls and that ghouls were appearing inside the city, leaving him to investigate who controlled them.

• Duma pushed the Frontline forward and established a firepower position, while Baal supported Mammon with surprise attacks in the mountains.
• The Demon Dragon Clan and the enemy forces fought to a stalemate, and Satan left to hunt Drus while Baal kept the Mad Bull Clan near the War Fortress.
• Duma’s side fortified the passage and prepared for a prolonged war as the ogre and Goblin coalition continued its suicidal assaults.
