• After Xiao Tianyang's consciousness returned to Eternal Night, Satan reported that beings behind the God Realm had entered it in true bodies or through true apostles.
• Xiao Tianyang questioned whether those beings could truly squeeze into the God Realm.

Xiao Tianyang decided to pressure the Terror Prison and build Eternal Night’s strength rather than confront the alien threat in the God Realm directly. After settling two missions, he received army-enhancing rewards and a summoning order that could bring a historical general and their elite troops to his side.

• Xiao Tianyang and Satan assessed the danger posed by the beings probing the God Realm, and Satan warned that revealing Eternal Night’s weakness could invite further threats.

He considered how to give Grandpa Yue command of the military without provoking dissatisfaction, while reviewing his new battle flags and reflecting on his combat experience.

• Xiao Tianyang crushed the [Personal Exclusive Summoning Order] to summon Grandpa Yue, convinced by Yue Fei's abilities and the strength of the Yue Family Army.

After learning that Yue Fei lived overseas as the captain of Yue Family Town’s peacekeeping force, Xiao Tianyang discovered that Yue Fei and his son Yue Yun had already answered Yue Shen’s Summoning Order. He learned they should have reached the waters near Divine Might, and set out to find the father and son.

• Xiao Tianyang asked Nong Yu about Yue Fei, but she found no notable person of that name on Douluo Continent.

• Nong Yu explained that Yue Fei had likely answered Yue Shen’s Summoning Order and that he and Yue Yun should have arrived near Divine Might.

Yue Fei led the Yue Family Army to Shenwu City to answer the Summoning Order and offer help in the coming war. Yan Lingji invited him to meet Xiao Tianyang, and Yue Fei chose Gao Chong and Zai Xing to accompany him.

• Yue Shen warned Xiao Tianyang that personally welcoming Yue Fei could invite suspicion, pressure Yue Fei, and sow discord among the generals.
• Xiao Tianyang agreed to meet Yue Fei after Yan Lingji reported that she had brought him and his companions to Shenwu Hall.

• Yue Fei proposed co-governance as a way to unite Douluo Continent, stirring Yue Shen's interest.

Yang Zaixing joined Xiao Tianyang’s Nine Dragon Imperial Guards, while Yue Shen took charge of Yue Fei’s remaining arrangements.

• After six hours of discussion, Xiao Tianyang asked Yue Shen whether Yue Fei’s proposal was feasible, and she endorsed Yue Fei as a legion commander.
• Xiao Tianyang appointed Yue Fei to lead Divine Might’s thirty-thousand-strong Eighth Legion, named the Big Dipper Legion, and Yue Fei accepted.
• Xiao Tianyang asked Yue Fei to release Yang Zaixing to serve as a company commander in the Nine Dragon Imperial Guards, and Yue Fei clarified their relationship before Yang Zaixing accepted.
• Yue Shen offered to handle Yue Fei’s arrangements, and Xiao Tianyang agreed before saying he would see Yue Fei on the battlefield.

Yue Shen briefed Yue Fei on Divine Might’s departments and warned him that Yue Yun’s attack on Yan Lingji could damage his standing unless his son’s temper was corrected. She gave Yue Fei an invitation for Yue Yun to join Divine Might’s training plan and a New System cultivation method for suitable senior officers; after Yue Fei left, he found Gao Chong, Yang Zaixing, Lu Wenlong, and Shan Shituo locked in a weapons-only spar.

• Yue Shen approached Yue Fei unnoticed, then identified Lu Wenlong, Wanyan Jin Danzi, and Fanxing as captains of the Nine Dragon Imperial Guards.
• Yue Shen told Yue Fei that Yang Zaixing was intended to become Second Formation captain, and she introduced him to Lu Wenlong and Wanyan Jin Danzi after their spar ended.
• Xiao Tianyang trained his practical combat abilities in Eternal Night and worked to master his magic and Combat Skills while avoiding involvement in Eternal Night’s development policies.
• The Hundred Schools made progress with the New System, whose inner Heaven developed nine layers, Earth developed nine Mountain Peaks, and Human grew through measures of height.
• The Hundred Schools concluded that Heaven, Earth, and Human represented the merged systems and should remain at similar levels as the inner space evolved toward a complete world.

The New System let cultivators advance their soul, physique, and Martial Soul together, while Xiao Tianyang’s own inner space developed into a universe with distinct features. After half a month of calm, Divine Might’s expanded legions prepared for a major move, with Li Cunxiao building an academy-led force.

• Members of the Hundred Schools learned that their three branches could advance together and that transformed physical energy was further reducing the value of soul rings.
• Xiao Tianyang received a brief report on the New System and considered how his soul, physique, and Martial Soul formed a universe, sun, and galaxy in his inner space.
• Half a month passed peacefully in Divine Might, though Frontline reports and the Shenwu Branch Academy’s Virtual Battlefield led people to suspect a major operation was coming.
• Divine Might expanded its forces into eight legions, including the Divine Might, Spirit Beast, Sun, Zodiac, and Flying Tiger Legions, each with its own leaders and organization.
• Li Cunxiao recruited Shenwu Academy graduates to lead and support the Flying Tiger Legion, gaining access to Xiao Tianyang’s trust and high-grade resources while risking the loss of his military authority.

• Xiao Tianyang reviewed profiles of Divine Might’s eight legions, including the Mounted Legion, the Big Dipper Legion, and his Nine Dragon Imperial Guards.

• Yue Shen reported that Esdeath had challenged General Yue and been suppressed in fewer than a hundred exchanges, though he had held back.
• Xiao Tianyang asked how the plan with General Yue was progressing, and Yue Shen said there were three proposals and she had already gauged the major powers’ attitudes.
• Xiao Tianyang asked Yue Shen what response the major powers had given.

Xiao Tianyang considered how to secure the major factions’ support before becoming emperor and promised to lead the Elemental Kingdom’s strongest fighters when war began. At Divine Might’s frontline, Gao Chong routed nine top Elemental Envoys, killing two and forcing the rest to flee.

• Yue Shen warned Xiao Tianyang that the factions feared their personal strength was inadequate, and he decided to take responsibility for the Elemental Kingdom’s top combat forces when war began.
• Xiao Tianyang told Yue Shen to rest before the war, which was due to begin in half a month, and she left to handle Divine Might’s internal arrangements.

• Xiao Tianyang questioned whether he should force the factions to support him and concluded that he would wait for the right time.
• At Divine Might’s frontline, Gao Chong charged the enemy cavalry and killed two of the nine top Elemental Envoys with four spear strikes.
• The seven surviving Elemental Envoys fled after realizing Gao Chong could defeat them in a few more exchanges.

Gao Chong's cavalry and Tiger's tiger-mounted troops routed the elemental forces, but a Space Rift then expanded into the true Elemental Gate. Xiao Tianyang went to the Frontline to determine whether the Elemental Kingdom had committed to a full invasion.

• Tiger divided his forces to clear the battlefield and advance in different directions as Gao Chong returned to the War Fortress and reported to Yue Fei.
• Niu Gao reported that the Space Rift was expanding into a gate, and Yue Fei ordered the news sent to Shenwu Hall.
• Xiao Tianyang teleported to the War Fortress, then went alone to the Elemental Gate to assess the Elemental Kingdom's intentions.
