Chapter Summaries

Yue Fei and the other commanders planned how to carry out Xiao Tianyang’s order to split the Nine Legions into smaller units while managing the threat of Berserk Beasts. After receiving a classified letter from Xiao Tianyang, Yue Fei oversaw the deployment, keeping commanders and reserves positioned to guard against enemy breakthroughs.

Fire Lord and Crown Evil Spirit responded to the loss of their vanguard by sending scouts into the mountains, while both armies’ reconnaissance efforts led to unexpected clashes. Xiao Tianyang learned that the Tianwu Dynasty had won most of the encounters and felt relieved as its forces withdrew safely from the draws and defeats.

• Fire Lord and Crown Evil Spirit accepted that their three vanguard armies had been annihilated and ordered elite scouts to map the terrain and investigate the battles.
• Fire Lord and Crown Evil Spirit concluded that Xiao Tianyang had a hidden purpose behind his aggressive tactics, though they did not know he was acting to complete system missions or had sent troops into the mountains.

• Xiao Tianyang received a report from the Frontline at nine in the morning and realized what had happened.
• Yue Shen reported that the Tianwu Dynasty had won twenty-seven of thirty-seven encounters, drawn eight, and lost two, while its commanders withdrew safely from the ten inconclusive battles.

After You Mingyue and the researchers confirmed they could build a prototype, Xiao Tianyang authorized them to use whatever materials they needed and demanded a finished product within half a day.

• Xiao Tianyang gave Yue Shen the blueprints and asked her to find out whether the research institute could build them and how many sets it could produce each day.

• The researchers praised the Power Core and the blueprints’ energy circuits, while You Mingyue cut off their discussion to meet Xiao Tianyang’s deadline.

• Xiao Tianyang approved the use of any necessary materials and told Yue Shen he wanted to see the finished product within half a day.

Xiao Tianyang and Yue Shen realized that the enemies’ strange battle on Douluo Continent had been a diversion to hide their plans against the God Realm and the Atonement Legion. Xiao Tianyang decided to take the initiative, and he and Yue Shen went to consult the Strategist Group before acting.

• Xiao Tianyang questioned why the enemy had fought so impulsively, and Yue Shen pointed out flaws in their choices of terrain and battle line.
• Yue Shen suggested the enemies’ real objective might lie beyond Douluo Continent, prompting Xiao Tianyang to remember the Void’s invasion of the Sea of Ten Thousand Evils and the Atonement Legion.

• Xiao Tianyang identified the Void, the Evil God, the God Realm, the Elemental Kingdom, and the Sea of Ten Thousand Evils as their five enemies and resolved to strike first.
• Yue Shen calmed Xiao Tianyang and urged him to plan before acting, so he agreed to speak with her Strategist Group.

Xiao Tianyang consulted Yue Shen’s Strategist Group after receiving news that the Evil God and the Void were competing for the God Realm and that Eternal Night was preparing to advance. He proposed using the Ascension Platform to bring Douluo Continent closer to the Super God Realm and unite their forces against three enemies, leaving Yue Shen alarmed by the plan’s risks.

Xiao Tianyang reviewed the research institute’s new military equipment at the imperial palace, after Yue Shen devised a lower-risk proposal for his operation. The chapter ended as You Mingyue demonstrated the Soldier Model Power Armor and described its features.

• Yue Shen presented a feasible proposal that reduced the risks of Xiao Tianyang’s plan while supporting his decision.
• The research institute delivered its finished equipment, and Xiao Tianyang arranged to test it at the plaza before Shenwu Hall.

• You Mingyue explained the armor’s eight components, storage capacity, oxygen supply, and hose for retrieving ammunition or changing melee weapons.

He sent the experimental records to Yue Fei as he prepared for new tactics, while the Research Institute’s Kinetic Core designs promised to transform warfare.
