• Xiao Tianyang concluded that he still had to conceal the alliance and strengthen defenses before beginning the operation.

Xiao Tianyang returned to the imperial city after committing to help the Underground City Plane join the Heavenly Martial Dynasty, leaving Wang Jian to plan the northern campaign. He discussed how to integrate Underground City professionals and prepare for the Void Faction’s retaliation, then laid out plans to reinforce the threatened fronts.

• Xiao Tianyang returned to the imperial city, handed Wang Jian confidential information, and entrusted him with planning the northern campaign.
• Xiao Tianyang explained his decision to Xiao He and the others, who accepted that the die had been cast and focused on finding a way to integrate Underground City professionals.

• Zhang Liang warned that the main danger was the Void Faction’s counterattack and asked how the northern Group Armies would be reinforced.
• Xiao Tianyang proposed sending two million Defense Legion troops to the eastern and western fronts and using returned veterans and the Ice Plains Legion to support the north.

After the Imperial Study settled plans for the Underground City operation, Xiao Tianyang asked Zhang Liang how to deal with the Doomsday Church and then gathered the military leaders to discuss mobilizing Soul Masters. The chapter left the commanders considering Yue Fei’s four-stage proposal for training recruits and supporting the operation.

• Xiao Tianyang kept Zhang Liang behind and asked how to deal with the Doomsday Church before cooperating with the Underground City.
• Zhang Liang proposed provoking the Void Faction to draw out the Doomsday Church and eliminate it, and Xiao Tianyang ordered him to prepare a detailed plan.
• Xiao Tianyang summoned the eight Group Army commanders and Ministry of War officials to discuss the Conscript All Plan.
• Du Ruhui objected to activating the plan early because most Soul Masters lacked basic training.
• Yue Fei proposed using wild beasts to train recruits, adding qualified recruits to squads, separating the battlefield into sections, and selling captured weapons and equipment to the Spirit Master World.
• Wei Liao and the other officials were gradually persuaded by Yue Fei’s proposal, which Xiao Tianyang also considered feasible.

Xiao Tianyang sent Zhang Yi to negotiate with the Underground City and gather intelligence on the Doomsday Church, while preparing to investigate the Void Faction’s plans himself. He entered the Underground City in disguise and used A'ganzuo’s maps to navigate its vast territory.

• Xiao Tianyang told Zhang Yi to protect the Heavenly Martial Dynasty’s interests, gather intelligence on the Doomsday Church, and seek unconditional submission from A'ganzuo and the others.
• Xiao Tianyang decided to draw the Void Faction’s attention on a battlefield and investigate whether it planned to connect three more planes to Douluo Continent.
• Xiao Tianyang left alone for the Underground City Plane, trusting Xiao He and the others to keep the Heavenly Martial Dynasty running during his absence.
• Xiao Tianyang returned to the Frozen Continent, concealed his aura to pass Leviathan City’s blockade, and entered the Underground City.
• Xiao Tianyang used the maps A'ganzuo had given him to navigate the Underground City, whose real scale and number of cities far exceeded the game’s maps.

Xiao Tianyang entered the Underground City Plane and explored Lorraine, investigating its monsters and the plane’s rules. He discovered that monsters could drop equipment and began suspecting the monster-farming maps concealed a secret.

• Xiao Tianyang used the Light Gate to enter the Underground City Plane and found himself near Novice Village, with the Elven Defense Line reduced to a wasteland.
• He followed his map toward Lorraine to study the Underground City Plane before carrying out his plan to bring it into Douluo Continent.
• Upon entering Lorraine, Xiao Tianyang fought a level-five Goblin and obtained a ruined sword whose original grade was a Divine Artifact.
• Xiao Tianyang swept through Lorraine and learned that its Goblins and Minotaurs refreshed daily as soulless beings condensed from energy.
• He compared the plane’s rules with those of Douluo Continent and concluded that a hidden truth about the monster-farming maps might explain the Underground City Plane’s rapid defeat.

Xiao Tianyang discovered that Lorraine’s repeated map refreshes and the Underground City Plane’s long-unused stockpiles could make conquering it vastly more profitable than he had expected. He left Heidrunmar and headed north for the Twin Towers, making control of the plane his priority.

• Xiao Tianyang examined the powerful Minotaur Card he had obtained in Lorraine and considered how Monster Cards could permanently improve attributes when enchanted onto weapons.
• Xiao Tianyang learned that the Void Faction’s arrival had stopped new people from appearing, causing Lorraine’s rewards and unused Underground City supplies to accumulate.
• Xiao Tianyang realized that the Underground City Plane’s stores could make his forces’ gains multiply, and understood why Xiao He and the others had readily agreed to take it.
• Xiao Tianyang concluded that the Royal Shadow Guard’s intelligence might have been overlooked while he was in seclusion and focused on the Abyss Battlefield.
• Xiao Tianyang left Heidrunmar and headed north toward the Twin Towers, deciding that securing the Underground City Plane mattered more than his other plans.

Xiao Tianyang traveled north to verify whether another plane lay beyond the Twin Towers, bringing Paris along as his guide. After spotting concealed spatial fluctuations from afar, he turned back and gathered intelligence about the Underground City to prepare for its integration into Douluo Continent.

• Xiao Tianyang walked north after the Void Faction stopped allowing travel by Teleportation Gates.
• Xiao Tianyang warned Paris to stay calm and keep his whereabouts secret as they approached the Twin Towers.
• Xiao Tianyang used the [Ancient Divine Eyes] to detect concealed spatial fluctuations near the Twin Towers and decided to return without going closer.
• Xiao Tianyang asked Paris to guide him through the major cities while he gathered information about the Underground City.
• Xiao Tianyang planned to use his authority and strength to prepare the Underground City's professionals for integration into Douluo Continent.

After spending a month inspecting the Underground City Plane, Xiao Tianyang returned to Life and Death Fortress and learned that Wang Jian had reshaped the Frontline battle plan. The Heavenly Martial Dynasty remained locked in a cautious standoff with Leviathan as Xiao Tianyang waited to see how Wang Jian would draw out the Doomsday Church.

• Xiao Tianyang gathered intelligence during his inspection of Underground City, hoping A'ganzuo and the others would support the Heavenly Martial Dynasty and help win over its people.
• Xiao Tianyang left Underground City after his inspection, and Paris quietly resumed her own mission separately.
• After a month away, Xiao Tianyang arrived at Life and Death Fortress and learned that Wang Jian had repeatedly revised his battle plans as new intelligence came in.
• Xiao Tianyang watched Wang Jian order another careful advance while the Heavenly Martial Dynasty and Leviathan maintained a restrained standoff.
• Du Ruhui suggested sending cavalry to ambush the enemy at Three Forest Pass, but Xiao Tianyang urged patience because their objective was to lure out the Doomsday Church.

Xiao Tianyang watched Wang Jian spring a surprise attack using the Great Divine Ability of Military Strategy, then saw Wang Jian redirect the Underground City's counterattack with another divine ability. The battle's momentum shifted again as Xiao Tianyang began to grasp how powerful the ability was.

• Xiao Tianyang trusted the Legion Commanders to act independently, while Yue Fei and the generals shared the work of managing the armies.
• Wang Jian revealed that he had concealed the Fei Hu and Knight Legions on both flanks, and Li Cunxiao and Bedivere tore through the enemy's professionals.
• Du Ruhui explained that Wei Liao had compiled dozens of sections of the Great Divine Ability of Military Strategy, including techniques that concealed and confused the truth.
• The Underground City launched a counterattack with mechanical constructs, summons, support professions, and awakened attacks.
• Wang Jian used the Military Strategy Divine Ability, The Peach Replaces the Plum, to redirect the enemy's shells to the left, astonishing Xiao Tianyang.

Du Ruhui explained the requirements and costs of the [Great Divine Ability of Military Strategy], while Xiao Tianyang watched Wang Jian’s battlefield tactic take effect. Xiao Tianyang questioned what the Doomsday Church and A'ganzuo were waiting for, then agreed to wait and see how A'ganzuo’s risky plan unfolded.

• Du Ruhui explained that mastering the military strategies of the Hundred Schools of Thought and reaching the Myriad Transformations realm were required to comprehend a Military Strategy Divine Ability, and only eleven people in the Heavenly Martial Dynasty had reached that level.
• Du Ruhui said the [Great Divine Ability of Military Strategy] contained accumulated, simplified versions of famous generals’ abilities, while Xiao Tianyang understood its requirements and the immense cost of using it.
• Wang Jian’s The Peach Replaces the Plum drained the Essence, Qi, and Spirit of his personal guard and two companies of soldiers, but the battle continued as Heavenly Martial Dynasty troops used coordinated encirclement tactics.
• Xiao Tianyang wondered what the Doomsday Church was waiting for and whether A'ganzuo had an agreement with them.
• Du Ruhui relayed Zhang Yi’s secret reports urging Xiao Tianyang to trust A'ganzuo’s risky plan, and Xiao Tianyang decided to wait and see.

Xiao Tianyang and Du Ruhui studied the Doomsday Church’s three-pronged advance and uncovered a narrow mountain path that could let two divisions converge. Du Ruhui sent the warning to Wang Jian, leaving the Heavenly Martial Dynasty alerted to the enemy’s hidden maneuver.

• Du Ruhui reported that the Doomsday Church’s main force had split into three routes toward Li Mu, Xiang Yan, and Li Cunxiao.
• Xiao Tianyang recognized that the third route held the enemy’s elite troops and discussed how Wang Jian had anticipated the exposed gap in his formation.
• Du Ruhui pointed out that two routes could merge along a narrow mountain trail, raising the possibility that the enemy’s apparent concentration was a feint.
• Xiao Tianyang identified Wu Yunzhao’s Ghost Cry Legion and ordered that General Qian be warned immediately.
• Du Ruhui sent a messenger with the intelligence to Wang Jian.

Wang Jian and Li Jing coordinated a counterattack that trapped and began destroying the Doomsday Church’s forces, while Xiao Tianyang returned to the imperial capital. After receiving news that War God Kingdom elites had appeared on the western battlefield, Xiao Tianyang concluded that its main force was on the eastern battlefield and sent a warning to Han Xin.

• Wang Jian outlined alternate plans with Li Jing, who ordered Luo Song to intercept the enemy at Willow River Mouth and considered sending White Wolf to the eastern front.
• Wu Yunzhao and Wu Yunxi’s armies charged out of the narrow paths, but the White Wolf, Qin Chuan, and Shark Tooth Legions arrived and attacked the Doomsday Church’s forces from multiple sides.
• Luo Cheng split the enemy formation with the Shark Tooth Legion, leaving Xu Maogong and Su Lie to deal with the divided forces.
• Xiao Tianyang left the Frozen Continent for the imperial palace after concluding that the Doomsday Church’s defeat made taking Leviathan nearly certain.
• Yan Lingji brought Xiao Tianyang news that human elites in the Fire Lord’s forces were members of the War God Kingdom, and Xiao Tianyang ordered her to inform Han Xin that its main force was on the eastern battlefield.

Han Xin and Yang Su considered Xiao Tianyang’s warning that the War God Kingdom’s monarchs might be on the eastern battlefield, while Xiao Tianyang’s forces prepared to take the Underground City Plane. The chapter ended with Xiao He presenting Xiao Tianyang a detailed plan for taking over the territory, which impressed him with its chances of success.

• Han Xin and Yang Su discussed the possibility that Kankuli and the other War God Kingdom monarchs were on the eastern battlefield, and Han Xin proposed using Li Yuanba to provoke them into revealing themselves.
• Xiao Tianyang’s suspicion about the War God Kingdom’s landing place had been guided by Satan’s tarot-card divination, using a corpse of Doflamingo as a medium.
• Wang Jian captured Leviathan and prepared to launch a full-scale assault on the Underground City Plane in three days, relying on its defense map.
• Xiao He brought Xiao Tianyang a plan for taking over the Underground City, compiled after a review by the chancellors and several ministries.
• Xiao Tianyang read the plan and judged that it gave him a strong chance of safely taking over the territory, though securing the enemy’s resources remained crucial.

Xiao Tianyang discussed plans for a careful handover with Xiao He, then learned why Fan Li had become unpopular among civilian Soul Masters after selling successive batches of equipment. Fan Li’s business continued to profit, but the dynasty’s costly military buildup was draining the treasury and leaving him depressed.

• Xiao Tianyang told Xiao He to have Zhang Yi contact A'ganzuo and the others and adjust the handover plan until both sides were satisfied.
• Xiao He explained that Fan Li had sold outdated Soul Tools and armor, then sold Symbiotic Armor separately, angering buyers who had purchased the first batch.
• Xiao He said Fan Li drew criticism as a dishonest merchant after selling close-combat weapons made in the Underground City on the Northern Front.
• Xiao Tianyang laughed at Fan Li’s plight and learned that the dynasty’s military spending had drained its liquid funds, leaving Fan Li depressed.

After an eastern battlefield report revealed Kankuli’s unusual arrival, Xiao Tianyang suspected the Evil God Faction was about to intervene. He ordered Han Xin’s forces to hold their positions and used a rare travel method to head for the battlefield himself.

• Xiao Tianyang received a report that Li Yuanba had provoked Kankuli for three days and wounded hundreds of enemy officers before Kankuli finally appeared.
• Xiao Tianyang considered whether Kankuli’s timing signaled a hidden scheme and suspected the Evil God Faction might be involved.
• Xiao Tianyang ordered Han Xin and the others to hold their positions and await reinforcements, then informed the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Revenue, and the Chancellor’s Mansion.
• Xiao Tianyang decided to go to the eastern battlefield and used a branch of the [Life Ancient Tree] to travel by a method beyond the 'Void Teleportation Technique.'

Xiao Tianyang arrived at the eastern battlefield, where Han Xin and Yang Su were preparing to face an enemy force they could not identify. He left the camp to scout the enemy himself and discovered Kankuli and other figures within the dust cloud, but the enemy’s full strength remained unclear.

• Han Xin and Yang Su learned that enemy forces were approaching, but their reconnaissance units disappeared without reporting the enemy’s numbers or formations.
• Han Xin and Yang Su planned their defenses and agreed to hold position while awaiting reinforcements.
• Xiao Tianyang arrived at the command tent, heard Yang Su’s report, and left to gather intelligence from the enemy.
• Xiao Tianyang entered the dust cloud with the Infinity Gauntlet and Void Blade and unleashed Four Seas and Eight Wastelands.
• More than a dozen figures emerged to block Xiao Tianyang’s attack, but he struck them into the ground and tore open part of the dust cloud.
• Kankuli emerged from the crater, acknowledged Xiao Tianyang’s strength, and revealed his trembling hand as he wiped blood from his mouth.

Xiao Tianyang confronted Kankuli, Kalmos, and the remaining heroes as the Void Beings and War God Kingdom armies advanced. He used his powers to kill Blackbeard and disrupt the enemy, but Jax, Lee Sin, and Morgana moved in as Kalmos countered his techniques.

• Xiao Tianyang surveyed the advancing Void Beings, human formations, and war machines while preparing to delay them.
• Xiao Tianyang killed Blackbeard with the Gem, alarming Kankuli and the others.
• Xiao Tianyang used Words Manifest Laws to make the ground beneath Kankuli's group crumble, and Kalmos identified his Way of the Emperor and Heavenly Dao powers.
• Kayle empowered Morgana as Jax and Lee Sin moved to restrain Xiao Tianyang, while Kalmos used a Dimensional Barrier to counter his technique.
• Xiao Tianyang used Mind Magic to make Jax and Lee Sin attack Morgana, then warned that his many spells would be difficult to counter.

Xiao Tianyang faced the Void Faction’s commanders, killed Doflamingo, and returned to the War Fortress after demonstrating that he would not withdraw troops from the north. He rallied the defenders and sent Han Xin and Yang Su to reinforce the battlefield while he stayed behind to bolster morale.

• Xiao Tianyang used Twisted Magic: Space-Time Chasm against Doflamingo, but Kankuli intercepted the attack and fought him to a standstill.
• Xiao Tianyang focused on Doflamingo, captured him, and executed him with Demon’s Hand before declaring that the Heavenly Martial Dynasty would not retreat.
• Xiao Tianyang returned to the War Fortress and rallied the soldiers from the Hero Summoning Platform, inspiring them to hold the line.
• Xiao Tianyang ordered Han Xin and Yang Su to take the Barbarian Tyrant Legion and Eagle Legion to the battlefield while he remained with the Ridge Legion and five hundred thousand Defense Legion soldiers.

Kankuli and the Allied camp’s commanders discussed how to overcome Xiao Tianyang, whose presence and military bonuses made him the greatest obstacle to their invasion. Unable to find a better option, they agreed to Black Fox’s plan to use their overwhelming numbers and avoid fighting Xiao Tianyang directly, while organizing their scattered forces for the coming war.

• Kankuli and the others returned to camp wounded and suffered Void Will’s punishment before beginning their war council.
• Kankuli identified Xiao Tianyang as the Allied camp’s greatest obstacle, citing his combat strength, military bonuses, and Tianwu Dragon Guards.
• Black Fox proposed using the Allied camp’s superior numbers to avoid direct battle with Xiao Tianyang and overwhelm the Heavenly Martial Dynasty’s forces.
• Kalmos warned that Xiao Tianyang might reinforce the battlefield or lure them into a trap, but Black Fox said every plan ultimately required confronting him.
• Kankuli proposed proceeding with Black Fox’s plan, and the commanders began dividing responsibilities and reorganizing their forces.
