After they departed, Mane explained why he had allowed Lina, a Black Magician, to leave and revealed his interest in the Orc World and its Half-Orcs.

While traveling through the Darius Orc Empire, Saine encountered Munk Monkey-people whose genes closely resembled those of Wizard World humans and considered whether they could learn battle qi. He and Lina then heard that a group of Wizard World travelers planned to head to No-Man’s Land, where Half-Orc Eugene was nearing his ascension to godhood with secret support from powerful backers.

• Saine joined a group of Wizard World knights and magicians traveling west, exchanged potions for Orc World samples, and offered the travelers advice on cultivation.
• Saine and Lina crossed the Yellow Sand Ancient Road and a vast uninhabited region, passing skeletons left behind by the Half-Orcs' migration.

• Half-Orcs escorted Saine and the others to an oasis, while more than a thousand Wizard World knights and magicians gathered in the region.
• Saine explored the Half-Orc settlement, seeing their stone houses, beast dens, wooden statues of Kampas, and devout worshippers.

Saine and his companions visited Eugene, the humble Level-4 leader of the Half-Orcs, who asked for Saine’s help in their coming Plane War. Afterward, Tourmaline revealed that Eugene received unusually strong attention from the Plane Will, though less than she did.

• Eugene served the guests Camel Milk Tea and offered Saine Half-Orc plants and trained beasts, then asked for his help in the coming Plane War.

• Tourmaline said the Plane Will paid Eugene more attention than Aijieli, but less than it paid her.

Saine continued waiting in No-Man's Land while preparing for the coming Plane War, and he began upgrading his Magic Staff with two Level-4 divinities. Eugene's efforts and Tourmaline's lake also helped the Half-Orcs build a foothold in the barren region.

• Eugene gave Saine and the other Wizard World visitors gifts, including unusual species from other planes, and assigned Half-Orc warriors to serve as retainers to the knights.
• After nearly two years without Eugene launching his promised war or godhood plan, some visitors left while others continued arriving in No-Man's Land.
• Saine decided to improve the Brilliant Heart Magic Staff before the Demon Mask and selected Level-4 light and fire divinities as materials.
• Aijieli improved her war song abilities while helping the Half-Orcs, and Tourmaline expanded a lake near Saine's Temporary Magic Tower to make a place to sleep.
• Lina warned Saine against using two Level-4 Biological Heart Cores at once, but Saine proceeded, citing his alchemy studies and a seventy percent chance of success.

Eugene met with Cenarius, Rexxar, and Mangix to discuss the Half-Orcs’ planned Plane War and his eventual ascension to godhood. As he delayed the war to give his forces more time to prepare, an experimental explosion startled Tourmaline in the nearby oasis.

• Eugene welcomed Cenarius, Rexxar, and Mangix, his longtime supporters who had helped the Half-Orcs.
• Cenarius asked when Eugene would begin the Plane War, and Eugene said he would wait three years so the Half-Orc Legion could prepare and avoid heavy casualties.
