Qiu Qiguang arranged a deliberately limited attack on the White Squid Race, while Cheng Han watched and relied on the war zone’s movement to provoke the enemy as part of his plan. Water Lotus arrived in Cheng Han’s garden carrying pastries.

• Qiu Qiguang convened a meeting and proposed a probing attack because the Northern An War Zone lacked reliable intelligence on the White Squid Race.
• Qiu Qiguang ordered two Warhawk Legions to bombard the target area in shifts and assigned the Sea Hawk Legions to defend the war zone’s territory.

• Cheng Han considered how the approaching Ghost Wind and Northern An War Zone’s mobilization would push the White Squid Race into taking action.
• Water Lotus entered Cheng Han’s garden with a table, chair, and food box and offered him pastries.

Cheng Han weighed Water Lotus’s report that the Sea Rat Race wanted to defect, then ordered limited contact while refusing her invitation to a Flower Nacre ceremony. The next day, Qiu Qiguang’s Warhawk Legion opened a major battle, prompting a force of at least three hundred thousand sea folk to advance toward the war zone, just as Cheng Han’s deduction had predicted.

• Water Lotus reported that the White Squid Race was exterminating Sea Rat tribes and that some tribes were willing to defect to the war zone.

Cheng Han used the six war zones’ attacks to draw Sea Race forces toward shallow waters and guide the Sea Overlord Legion toward hidden targets in the deep sea. After Lan Jiayao reported evidence of a White Squid Sea King, Cheng Han concluded that two Sea Gods were likely behind the enemy’s plans and expressed confidence in victory.

• Cheng Han studied the situation map, saw that Sea Race forces were leaving the deep sea, and identified targets marked by blue radiance.

Meanwhile, the Sea Overlord Legion advanced through the Endless Sea Abyss with Flower Nacre scouts clearing its path, and Liu Yan waited to teach Camellia aboard a submersible.

• Cotton Elder used lingering water traces on the Sea Hawk wreckage to reveal the White Squid Race’s skin characteristics and explained how the Mother God Seashell detected a Sea King’s faint aura.

• Liu Yan waited beside the Nacre Pool with teaching cards and greeted Camellia when she arrived.

Cheng Han recognized that the White Squid Race Sea King Fak had set a trap in the Eastern Li War Zone and resolved to retaliate after consulting God General Zhu Rong's Command. Meanwhile, Liu Yan learned about the Flower Nacre Clan's plans and interest in Mystic Weapon technology as the Sea Overlord Legion prepared to cross the Turbulent Storm Sea Area, giving Cheng Han an idea for a counterattack.

• Cheng Han warned Sword Wanli and Lan Jiayao that the wreckage and Cotton Elder's discovery were part of Fak Sea King's trap, then ordered Sword Wanli to accompany him to seek an audience with God General Zhu Rong's Command.
• Cheng Han used the Eye of Omniscience to identify the White Squid Sea King as Fak and watch the Sea Overlord Legion through his deduction.
• Liu Yan learned from Camellia that the Flower Nacre Clan killed Sea Spiders to conceal the legion's route and that the God-Enlightened One communicated through a secret art.
• Camellia asked Liu Yan about learning to manufacture Mystic Weapons, and he suggested his superiors might approve sharing low-level technology.
• Cheng Han watched Liu Yan and Camellia's exchange, suspected Water Lotus had arranged it, and realized that killing Fak could draw the White Squid Race's forces away and create an opening for the legion's surprise attack.

Cheng Han explained a plan to use the awakened consciousness of the Mother of the Sea to disrupt the White Squid and Black Scale races’ alliance. God General Zhu Rong approved the plan and ordered him to act, though Cheng Han worried it might also hasten the Mother of the Sea’s revival.

Qiu Qiguang watched the Northern An War Zone battle the White Squid Race’s attacks and learned that the General Overseer Hall was directing Eastern Li to build a giant statue and hold a Grilled Squid Festival.

• Qiu Qiguang burned the report and questioned what God General's Command saw in Cheng General Overseer.
