• Claudia and Angelina introduced Xuan Ye to the Elf outpost, and he gathered the fel energy to purify its Barren Land.
• Xuan Ye cleared the remaining Barren Lands in the Eastern Continent, earning the Elves’ respect and prompting some of them to plan a visit to the Human Race.
• Claudia told Xuan Ye that they would travel to Ronald, where the Moon Priestess could only send them to the continent’s edge because a powerful Ancient God was sealed there.
• Upon reaching Ronald, Xuan Ye told Oseros to remember to rule the land one day.
• Xuan Ye sensed the stench of an Ancient God and noticed that the polluted area ahead had no Elf purification Barrier.

Xuan Ye and the elves discovered that Naga loyal to the Ancient Gods had driven the elves from the Barren Land and corrupted their Saint Rank guardian. After learning that the displaced elves had gathered in a city, Xuan Ye planned to investigate while concealing his intentions from the Naga.

• Claudia searched the abandoned Elf Race outpost and found that its occupants had left in a hurry without leaving information.
• Naga emerged from the river and confronted Xuan Ye and the two elves, who demanded to know what had happened to the outpost’s elves.
• Xuan Ye used corrupted energy to pose as an envoy of the Ancient Gods, causing the Naga to submit to him.
• The Naga leader revealed that they had driven the elves across the continent into a city and that their master had corrupted the Saint Rank elf and blocked communications.
• Xuan Ye told the two elves his plan through mental transmission and asked the Naga leader to guide them to the elven city.

Xuan Ye and his companions reached Quel'Thalas, where they found that the Elves had been changed by evil energy and were developing unfamiliar habits. After entering the city, Xuan Ye recognized their growing curiosity and began considering how to use it.

• Xuan Ye dismissed the Naga boat-tow and guided his group toward Quel'Thalas, where Elf Rangers surrounded them with arrows.
• Xuan Ye explained that they had come from the Eastern Continent, and the Ranger captain allowed them into Quel'Thalas under its rules.
• Angelina worried about the altered Elves, and Xuan Ye explained that evil energy had intensified their negative emotions while they retained their reason.
• Xuan Ye noticed Elf boats catching fish and saw that the city’s architecture and customs had changed.
• A male Elf registrar asked about Xuan Ye’s boat and its lack of Arcane Fluctuation, and Xuan Ye decided the Elves’ unusual curiosity could be exploited.

Xuan Ye investigated Quel'Thalas and discovered that fel energy had altered its elves without turning them into truly fallen beings. He identified Claudia as beginning to feel its influence and decided to challenge the city's elves through arcane magic while investigating the cause.

• Xuan Ye deceived an elf registrar and learned that arrogance had grown among Quel'Thalas's elves, though she was not truly a bad person.
• Xuan Ye and his companions explored Quel'Thalas, finding a city full of arcane inventions, quarrelsome elves, and Kajin trolls.
• At their inn, Xuan Ye explained that fel energy had fused with the elves' Spirits of Nature and magnified their existing traits, making a return to their former personalities impossible.
• Xuan Ye suspected the Kajin trolls might offer clues, but noticed that Claudia was already becoming more emotionally agitated while Angelina remained mostly unaffected.
• Xuan Ye concluded that Claudia's emotional changes could help reveal how the influence worked, then decided to test his arcane magic against Quel'Thalas's elves.

Xuan Ye discovered that a subtle force was gradually changing the Elves of Quells City and suspected a corrupted holy-ranked being was behind it. He took Oseros to challenge an arrogant inn owner’s magical test, and Oseros solved the complex puzzle almost instantly.

• Xuan Ye detected and purged a trace of fel contamination from Claudia, then concluded that a corrupted holy-ranked being was likely changing the city’s Elves.
• Oseros admitted that he had never been taught formal rank magic, but Xuan Ye judged his abilities sufficient for their next move.
• Xuan Ye led Oseros and the two Elven followers to speak with the inn owner, who belittled them and offered Oseros a magical challenge.
• The inn owner created a complex spell puzzle in a crystal ball, but Oseros solved it so quickly that the owner turned back in disbelief.

Xuan Ye brought Oseros to an advanced elven research circle, where the elves debated how to control fel energy. After Xuan Ye urged him to join in, Oseros bluntly rejected their theories, provoking the group.

• Oseros solved the innkeeper’s magical puzzle, and the innkeeper reluctantly admitted his skill before giving Xuan Ye a letter of introduction to a discussion circle.
• Xuan Ye led Oseros and the others to a tower-like research building, where an elf let them in after checking the letter.
• Xuan Ye sensed that the circle included a Grandmaster and found its members heatedly debating ways to handle fel energy.
• Xuan Ye encouraged Oseros to take part, and Oseros argued that fel energy was not itself the source of the power they used.
• The elves mocked Oseros’s rank and speech after he dismissed their theories, while Xuan Ye approved of his bold interruption.

Xuan Ye guided Oseros through a debate on fel energy, where Oseros overturned the elves’ assumptions and defeated their arguments. The tower’s Arcane Grandmaster, Pro, then challenged Xuan Ye to a contest over two pieces of Fel Ore.

• Xuan Ye let Oseros endure the elves’ pressure and provoked them into judging his research through debate.
• Oseros used Xuan Ye’s teachings and his experience in the Barren Lands to argue that the elves’ understanding of fel energy was superficial.
• Oseros silenced the gathered elves, and one Master admitted their research had focused only on surface-level fel energy.
• Pro appeared, identified himself as the tower’s owner, and offered to buy Oseros.
• Xuan Ye refused, calling Oseros his precious disciple, and Pro proposed a contest to see who could draw more power from equal pieces of Fel Ore.

Xuan Ye defeated Pro and then challenged Quel'Thalas's Arcane Masters and Grandmasters, earning an invitation to the Holy Temple. There, he recognized that the female Holy Rank elf was using fel energy and confronted her about impersonating the naga's will.

• Xuan Ye defeated Pro in their fel-energy contest and asked him to gather every Arcane Master and above in the city for a series of exchanges.
• Pro's announcement drew challengers, and Xuan Ye defeated every Arcane Master and more than half of Quel'Thalas's Arcane Grandmasters.
• The Holy Temple invited Xuan Ye inside after he defeated the city's last Arcane Grandmaster, giving him a buffer before meeting its Holy Rank.
• Xuan Ye observed that the female Holy Rank elf used fel energy and had an unstable aura.
• Xuan Ye told the elf that she had caused the changes involving Ronald and had impersonated the so-called will of the naga.

Xuan Ye met Kaelie Moonwalker, an ancient Elf epic who studied Fel energy and planned to lead her mutated people out of Reizel. After learning how they had been contaminated while guarding Ronald and how they were preparing a teleportation array, Xuan Ye offered confidence in helping them leave.

• Kaelie Moonwalker revealed that she had studied Fel energy herself and invited Xuan Ye to join her people, but he declined and said he would remain in Reizel.
• Xuan Ye demonstrated his controlled use of Ancient God Power, astonishing Kaelie with its purity and precision.
• Kaelie explained that prolonged exposure to Fel energy while the Elves guarded Ronald had contaminated them and affected Claudia, so she concealed the problem and taught the Elves to control the power.
• Xuan Ye learned that Kaelie was preparing a teleportation array in Quel'Thalas to move her people away from Reizel, using the Kajin Clan's totem as fuel.
• Xuan Ye said he was confident he could help complete the departure because one of his professions was Barrier Master.

Xuan Ye examined the Elf Race’s teleportation array and learned that it could send Kaelie and her companions from Reizel to their former homeland, Valinor. Kaelie showed him Valinor nearing Reizel in the sky, and Xuan Ye considered the risks of their return.

• Xuan Ye told Kaelie he could help repair the Elf Race’s teleportation array if she gave him its parameters.
• Xuan Ye inferred that the array would tear through Reizel’s World Barrier and connect to another world.
• Kaelie explained that Reizel was an enormous sphere with subsidiary realms attached by gravity.
• Kaelie revealed Valinor in the sky and explained that it approached Reizel roughly once every ten thousand years, allowing the Elf Race to return using their ancestors’ mark.
• Xuan Ye spotted Valinor’s faint outline and wondered whether its closeness to Reizel could trigger a planar war.

Xuan Ye proposed replacing the Elf Race’s teleportation array with a more stable design using Stepped Wave Patterns, and Kaelie Moonwalker agreed to proceed despite the tight deadline. After he began sketching the new model, Kaelie made a sudden move toward him and claimed she only wanted to invite him to her homeland.

• Xuan Ye explained how Natural Wave Patterns transmitted information through the teleportation array and why interference could cause it to collapse.
• Xuan Ye introduced Stepped Wave Patterns, and Kaelie Moonwalker recognized that the new format could make the array more reliable.
• Kaelie said there was little time to redesign the array, but Xuan Ye calculated that the celestial body would reach its closest point in forty-three days and offered to handle the new design.
• Xuan Ye learned that Kaelie could quickly set up the Barrier and began drawing and teaching her the replacement array model.
• Kaelie suddenly lunged toward Xuan Ye, who dodged and demanded to know what she was doing.
• Kaelie said she wanted to invite Xuan Ye to visit the Elf Race’s homeland, leaving him wary of her intentions.

Xuan Ye prepared to leave Reizel with the Kajin trolls through the Elf teleportation array, but a demon and an unknown Dragon Guard attacked as the transfer began. Xuan Ye confronted the Dragon Guard, which revealed that he was its target.

• Xuan Ye improved the teleportation array, studied Quel'Thalas's arcane research, and screened the Kajin trolls for danger.
• Xuan Ye sensed the homeland guidance node approaching and learned that the group had to depart within two days.
• Kaelie Moonwalker activated the teleportation array, beginning to compress the City of Magic and Karl Kajin for transmission.
• A demon appeared and tried to provoke Karl Kajin into damaging the array, but Xuan Ye blocked its path.
• A Dragon Guard emerged from concealed space and attacked Xuan Ye with power over spacetime.
• Xuan Ye recognized that the Dragon Guard was targeting him and that both enemies were exceptionally powerful.

Xuan Ye faced a Bat-winged Demon attacking the elves’ teleportation array and a black-and-white Dragon Guard who targeted him with attacks that seemed to ignore space, time, and defenses. After the Dragon Guard claimed Xuan Ye’s death was inevitable, Xuan Ye twisted space and time with his eyes, disrupting the attacks and challenging the Dragon Guard’s foresight.

• Xuan Ye realized the Bat-winged Demon and the black-and-white Dragon Guard were outsiders whose powers were weakened because Reizel’s world did not recognize them.
• The Dragon Guard identified Xuan Ye as his target and tore away much of his flesh and half an arm with an attack that passed through the Sacred Spear.
• Xuan Ye reversed the misfortune and restored his body, while the Bat-winged Demon began attacking the teleportation array.
• The Dragon Guard sent attacks from several timelines, and Xuan Ye used a Sanctuary barrier that blocked them at the cost of much of his Power of Faith.
• The Dragon Guard declared that he had foreseen Xuan Ye’s death, but Xuan Ye distorted space and time, made the attacks lose their aim, and challenged the Dragon Guard to predict what came next.

The Dragon Guard’s madness warped the River of Time, leaving Xuan Ye unable to reach him. Xuan Ye unleashed Ancient God Power to seize control of the distortion, then corrupted the Bat-winged Demon and planted a growing seed in the Dragon Guard.

• The Dragon Guard lost control and distorted time and space, trapping those around him in looping changes.
• Xuan Ye attacked but could not reach the Dragon Guard as the distortions shifted and threatened to spread.
• Xuan Ye released Ancient God Power, turning his flames blackish purple and calming the warped space-time.
• Xuan Ye seized the Bat-winged Demon and corrupted him with purple flames and depravity.
• Xuan Ye planted a seed in the Dragon Guard’s soul, and it began consuming his negative emotions and life force.

Xuan Ye lost control as Ancient God's power corrupted him and began breaking the seal beneath Ronald. His Soul Database restored his clarity and let him seal the entity, but his attack devastated the continent and left him facing the aftermath.

• Xuan Ye absorbed the Dragon Guard's life force and negative emotions, spreading corruption from Ronald toward the Six Realms.
• The Ancient God beneath Ronald began breaking free as the corrupted continent could no longer sustain its seal.
• The Ancient God's will invaded Xuan Ye, but his Soul Database shattered the invading will, absorbed part of its soul, and cleared his negative emotions.
• Xuan Ye used the power of the Six Realms to form a colossal sealing palm, flatten Ronald, and force the Ancient God back beneath the sea.
• The demigods halted the tsunami's aftershock, and Xuan Ye dispelled his power before staring at the vanished continent and admitting he had gone too far.
