Elsewhere, New Lords struggled to endure the Calamity Moon, and four powerful beings plotted to attack Shiling Town as a great serpent watched Tian Yuan Territory from the forest.

Mu Yuan and other rescuers searched the surrounding regions, and Tan Moumou discovered the school had fallen into the dangerous outer wilderness.

• People at Baijiang City Second High School awakened professions, while others received no notification, and Teacher Zhang organized the crowd to move into defensible buildings.

• General Duo Lai spotted a glimmering object inside a patch of shattered space, which Mu Yuan recognized as a possible Two Worlds Treasure.

Mu Yuan found a Two Worlds Treasure in the sunken school and used it to raise Duo Lai from Commander Grade Level 5 to Level 7. As Blue Star’s fusion deadline approached, Mu Yuan returned to Tian Yuan Territory while another city appeared in the Gloomy Forest, leaving its survivors surrounded by the Eternal World.

• Duo Lai sensed a Two Worlds Treasure concealed in a healing spatial rift, and Mu Yuan helped it extract the Upgrade Stone after Gray Wolves were cut apart by the rift.
