• Isroya reassured Tian Yuan Territory's people, organized its defenses, and spotted a black wave of monsters advancing from the horizon.
• Many lords forfeited to return to their territories, while others accelerated their hunts and sparked battles across the Chaos Forest.

After the Dragon Court Contest, Mu Yuan returned to Tian Yuan Territory as the monster tide ended and the Red Mist began to spread. He then joined the other lords at the Dragon Court Land to explore Tier-6 recruitment grounds, where the group began viewing powerful dragon troops.

• Tian Yuan displayed nine or more tokens at Tai Xuan Base, impressing the city lords and securing the group additional recruitment opportunities.
• Mu Yuan returned to Tian Yuan Territory and found the monster tide already defeated; Duoduo destroyed a shadow emerging from the Sacrificial Black Coffin and went to collect ingredients Isroya had saved.
• Mu Yuan observed that the Red Mist remained after the tide receded, marking the start of the Calamity Moon of Red Mist.
• The next day, Liu Xi Yue led Mu Yuan and the other lords to the Dragon Court Land's Recruitment Area, where they learned about its Tier-6 troop buildings and rare Epic Lifeforms.
• The group visited the Wrathful Fire Dragon recruitment ground, which could yield a Red Dragon, and then the Evil Eye Subdragon ground, whose superior form was the Evil Eye Dragon.

Mu Yuan used his fifty Dragon Court recruitment slots to recruit Dragon Strength Swordsmen, and the troop building produced an Epic Water Mirror Dragon along the way. The final recruit was a Dragon Strength Warrior whose potential seemed to surpass that of an Epic.

• The lords recruited their chosen Dragon-type troops, with Kong Ming and others selecting Earth Rock Dragons for their siege strength.
• Hegemon Dragon Lord recruited a special Dragon Strength Swordsman and then obtained an SSR Steel-Burning Giant Dragon, while Lord Wuji recruited an Epic Dragon Star Sword Saint.

• An Epic Water Mirror Dragon appeared from the recruitment archway, but Mu Yuan remained disappointed as the other recruits emerged.
• The fiftieth recruit appeared as a bald, lightly dressed Dragon Strength Warrior whose aura and potential impressed Mu Yuan.

Mu Yuan recruited Tiff, a Water Mirror Dragon whose spell-reflecting abilities were useful but whose future growth seemed limited, and Uta, a hardworking Dragon Force Laborer with exceptional potential. After joining Tian Yuan Territory, Uta grew rapidly and challenged Sario repeatedly, but lost every fight.

• Mu Yuan assessed Tiff's inherited strength and magic-reflecting talents, while judging her long-term prospects limited compared with Uta's Heaven Rewards Diligence.
• Tiff chose to build her nest by the Ice Spirit Cold Pool, then felt slighted when Mu Yuan left her with Xylia and Duo Lai instead of giving her more attention.
• Duo Lai introduced Tiff to Tian Yuan Territory and its dragon residents, alarming her by describing dragons as food and warning that more dragons would arrive.
• Lu Liu integrated the Dragon Strength Swordsmen into the Garrison Troops and increased Uta's training until he could handle twelve times the standard workload.
• Uta grew strong enough to outclass the Garrison Troops' elites and Deputy Commander Niu Si, then lost his ninth sparring match against Sario, who criticized his limited fighting style.

Mu Yuan used his Tai Xuan Contribution Points to strengthen Tian Yuan Territory’s defenses and selected valuable goods for future profit. After the Undead Tower was built in the Skeleton Graveyard, a test showed that its strongest beams could badly injure even the Frost Giant Dragon.

• Mu Yuan exchanged Contribution Points for Miracle Blueprints, rare crop seeds, an upgrade stone, and defensive treasures, while Isroya advised him to prioritize single-target damage and control.
• Mu Yuan and Isroya selected an Undead Tower, an Ice Crystal Tower, and a Spell Orrery, and Isroya bought materials for additional barriers.
• Mu Yuan asked Cold Moon City Lord to purchase the treasures on his behalf, and she delivered them along with a nearly spent Runestone—Divine General.
• Mu Yuan and Deathbone observed that the newly built Undead Tower was increasing the Skeleton Graveyard’s Undead Energy and possibly accelerating its expansion.
• Mu Yuan tested the Undead Tower against Sario, and its third-level beam blasted a hole through the Frost Giant Dragon’s wing and knocked it from the sky.

• The Player Association issued a Level Two warning, followed by a Level Six warning for a Border Area appearing in Jiangbei City's southern suburbs.

• Mu Yuan arrived in Jiangbei City, registered for the mission, and learned that escaped monsters were scattered through the city while the Border Area remained under blockade.

• Mu Yuan killed a hidden Goblin Commander and surveyed the dark mountains beyond Jiangbei City as the city's lights and the Flame of Peace grew brighter.

Mu Yuan and his allies killed the Goblin Hero Gajali during the Jiangbei City crisis, while the city’s defenders secured the blockade line. Later, Isroya returned to Shiling Town with new shop supplies and unusual personal purchases.

• Mu Yuan recalled his teams from the Border Area as Jiangbei City’s defenders prepared to hold the line against the remaining monsters.
• Vice President Luo and the other lords confronted Gajali, but the Goblin Hero used his domain to escape their encirclement and head toward Blue Star.

As the Red Mist Disaster Moon’s monster tide grew stronger, Mu Yuan approved Isroya’s most extensive Black Rock City Wall plan to protect Tian Yuan Territory and draw in more monsters. Deathbone discovered a dense red-mist area where hideous monsters gathered, while Rakshasa returned from Blue Star with his squad’s gains.

• Mu Yuan inspected Tian Yuan Territory’s defenses as Lu Liu and the Garrison Troops weakened the monster tide and sharpshooters protected the unfinished city wall.

• Rakshasa returned from Blue Star and brought back the gains from his squad’s explorations and enemy kills in the Border Area.

Mu Yuan identified the Goblin Hero’s rare treasure as an Ice Purity Fruit Tree seed and recovered a blueprint for a Warrior Class Change Building. As Tian Yuan Territory expanded its defenses and citizens began changing class, the Red Mist outside continued to thicken.

• Mu Yuan used appraisal crystals to identify the Goblin Hero’s seed as an Outstanding Grade Ice Purity Fruit Tree seed, whose fruit could resist corruption and reveal illusions.
• Mu Yuan searched the Goblin Hero’s Storage Ring and found a Rare Class Change Land blueprint that could turn qualified civilians into two-star Human Race Warriors.
• Mu Yuan learned that citizens with classes could produce Evolution Points, and he noted that Master Li Erniu had evolved into an Outstanding Three-Star Weapon Master.

Seventeen struggled to find missions in Shiling Town and took on ways to support the territory’s outposts, while Mu Yuan used a Nature Spirit’s ability to accelerate the growth of the Ice Purity Fruit Tree. The chapter left Mu Yuan preparing to harvest Ice Purity Fruits and make potions during the Red Mist Calamity Moon.

• Veteran players returned to Shiling Town after purifying a Filth Land, and the vice-captain warned that Red Mist erosion meant the group needed to rest.

Mu Yuan watched several experts attempt Legendary advancement at the Ascension Arena, where Zhuo Qingwu succeeded and demonstrated the power of the Legendary realm. After returning to Tian Yuan Territory, Mu Yuan found Uta training with Sario, who realized Uta was about to undergo an Epic evolution.

• Mu Yuan, Tan Moumou, and their generals paid admission to watch the Legendary advancement ceremony, where the first five experts failed to break through.
• Zhuo Qingwu sustained Sublimation State with his domain and Willpower Light, broke through to the Legendary realm, and demonstrated his control over the power of heaven and earth.

• Mu Yuan returned by train to Tian Yuan Territory, and Tan Moumou departed for the Xingrong Town region after arranging to meet again once the calamity ended.
• Uta repeatedly sparred with Sario and said he planned to apply for an Epic evolution loan, making Sario realize that Uta had not evolved yet.

Dragon Force Laborer Uta applied for and completed Epic evolution, awakening the Flesh Shackles skill, then fought Sario and nearly defeated him with a devastating punch. Sario survived by breaking through to high-level Dragon Artistic Conception, while Water Mirror Dragon Tiff watched in terror and reconsidered her attitude toward Uta and the Lord.

• Uta spent 3,000 Contribution Points on an Epic evolution down payment, and Isroya arranged his evolution for that night.
