Luo Weiguo’s infiltration squad was ambushed by a powerful Japanese water-type Reincarnator in the storm-soaked forest, leaving the survivors badly wounded and at odds over whether to cooperate. As the attacker tried to force them to provide false intelligence, a squad member struck at the one who betrayed them and was trapped in a sphere of water.

The chapter ended with two black-mist figures deciding to approach the Na’vi peacefully after learning that Star of Entrepreneurship could launch an orbital strike within a month.

• Xu Yue persuaded Chen Huan to inform the legion’s members about the human tech-side base on a limited scale rather than confront them.
• Utsunomiya Taro gave the Great Priest intelligence about the Beiyang rising star and the undetected human base.
• The Great Priest ordered people to seek the human base’s trust and explore a cooperative relationship, while keeping the search for the rising star secondary.
• Parker expected Star of Entrepreneurship to unlock its orbital weapons and planned to use the mysterious bases as an excuse to expand toward a Na’vi tribe’s mineral-rich land.
• Two black-mist figures learned of the mothership’s orbital strike capability by invading Parker’s mind and decided to pursue a conciliatory approach toward the Na’vi.

Two Japanese Intruders convinced Chief Parker to cooperate with them, then encountered Xu Yue while trying to report their plans. Xu Yue revealed that he had sensed Yuan Shikai's latest move, just as the enemy activated a military formation around him.

• The Japanese Intruders posed as visitors from a parallel world and persuaded Chief Parker that they could help solve his mining operation's problems.
• Parker and Colonel Miles agreed to demand a pledge of loyalty from the visitors before helping them, while the Intruders planned to have Veteran Reincarnators attack a native tribe.

• Xu Yue asked why the Great Priest had not come, then realized Yuan Shikai had made another move to put out a fire.

• Xu Yue tapped the air seven times and manifested a colossal dragon military formation inside the Seal Lockdown.
• The Reincarnators recognized Xu Yue’s dragon as a military formation and concluded that it could counter Moon Bear’s formation.

Xu Yue’s military formation defeated Moon Bear’s group, while the Great Priest regrouped and the Great Sun Nation Empire contested a mission to exterminate the Na’vi. Inuga’s team reached the Na’vi tree, where a giant arrow killed him before the attack began.

• Yuan Shijia’s ambush forced the Great Priest to retreat, costing his side a forward outpost and more than a dozen core personnel.

• Inuga led a group of Veteran Reincarnators toward the Na’vi’s ancient tree, but a giant arrow pierced and killed him.

After Japan’s advance team was wiped out, Japan and RDA reconsidered their plans while Xu Yue examined the Avatar Program’s conversion technology. Beiyang located Japan’s Navy Headquarters and launched a strategic nuclear saturation bombardment, but the base survived, leaving RDA’s leaders shaken as Star of Entrepreneurship approached.

Meanwhile, Jack’s reports about the Na’vi’s extraordinary abilities stunned Hell’s Gate’s leaders, and Colonel Miles insisted the tribe could be forced to leave.

• Xu Yue sensed that military formations drew on power beyond space, destroyed the Guardian Military Formation, and rebuilt Navy Headquarters with simulated defenders.
• Xu Yue took on Misu Sotaro’s appearance and used his credentials to report to the Great Priest that Zhang Yulin had escaped but his formation had been defeated.

• Colonel Miles showed photographs of Na’vi riders and argued that outdated white-phosphorus weapons could force the tribe to leave.

After Hell's Gate's mercenaries were wiped out, Japan persuaded Parker to rely on its forces and orbital weapons. Xu Yue's misleading report convinced the Great Priest that Beiyang was unprepared, prompting Japan to assemble its main forces for a surprise attack.

• Miles returned after escaping the Na'vi and insisted that their weapons could not breathe fire, while Hell's Gate's mercenary unit had been destroyed.
• Japan's envoys used Hell's Gate's losses to persuade Parker that it needed Japan's help and agreed to a plan involving orbital weapons.

The Great Priest trapped Beiyang’s other bases while Yuan Shijia broke through the formation, leaving TJ Base badly weakened as Japanese forces reached its gates.

• The bombardment devastated the terrain around TJ Base and weakened its Guardian Military Formation, and Utsunomiya Taro, Tamura Iyozo, and Misu Sotaro arrived to lead the Japanese assault.

Japan's forces breached TJ Base's weakened Guardian Military Formation and pressed inside, while Beiyang's defenders fought desperately to hold them back. Zhang Zongchang betrayed Li Jinglin and killed him, then turned toward the other nearby defenders.

• Zhang Yulin tried to steady morale as the Guardian Military Formation weakened, while Zhang Zongchang criticized his earlier use of it and Li Jinglin urged everyone to focus on the coming battle.

• Zhang Zongchang dismissed Li Jinglin's anger and turned his bloodshot eyes toward the nearby defenders.

Japan Reincarnators reopened a breach in Beiyang’s formation as reinforcements arrived, and Xu Yue watched Beiyang’s resolve grow amid the fighting. He decided the gathered spirit was sufficient and prepared to complete the tempering himself.

• Zhang Zongchang and other defectors attacked Beiyang’s formations, disrupting its ranks and aiding the Japan Reincarnators inside the breach.

• Japan forces charged through the new breach as Beiyang reinforcements arrived from Shanghai Base and headquarters base and attacked.
• Xu Yue observed Beiyang’s people gaining resolve, judged that enough spirit had gathered, and decided to complete the tempering himself.

Beiyang’s reinforcements faced defeat at TJ Base until Chen Shaokuan and the others rejected Xu Yue’s offer to flee, prompting Xu Yue and the Japanese formations to turn on the Japanese Reincarnators. Meanwhile, Yuan Shijia learned TJ Base had fallen and burned the Great Wood Formation to attack the Great Priest, but Muren appeared and blocked his strike.

• Yuan Shijia ignited the Great Wood Formation, tore through the Great Priest’s formation, and attacked him, but Muren appeared and blocked the strike.

Muren appeared on the battlefield and fought Yuan Shijia, destroying the Beiyang bases in their clash. Xu Yue then revealed himself with defected Japanese and Beiyang forces, while Utsunomiya Taro told Muren he was beyond saving.

• Muren arrived to support the Great Priest and offered Yuan Shijia the position of prime minister if he surrendered.
• Yuan Shijia rejected Muren’s offer and unleashed the power of the final stronghold, destroying the Beiyang bases and gravely wounding himself and the Great Priest.
