Chapter Summaries

Mu Yuan selected treasures from Taixuan’s exchange list, prioritizing training access, troop upgrades, Army Soul growth, and useful equipment. He finalized the purchases, established a preliminary contribution system for Tian Yuan Territory, and planned to wait for the treasures to arrive before entering the treasure lands.

• Mu Yuan chose Hero Arena and Challenge Land access, six Lights of Baptism, Army Soul Essence, and a Skill Stele: Haste from the exchange list.

• Mu Yuan entrusted Isroya with developing the territory’s contribution and currency systems, and the preliminary contribution system began tracking earnings and evolution costs.
• Mu Yuan sent his treasure selections to the official staff and decided to wait for the treasures before entering the treasure lands, aiming to evolve more Epic Lifeforms first.

After Mu Yuan visited the company Sophia had built in Baijiang, he learned that she had rapidly grown it into a substantial business by trading supernatural resources and taking on association work. He praised her progress but worried about the dangers of expanding so quickly, while Sophia privately recalled dealing with sabotage and attacks as welcome entertainment.

• Mu Yuan ran from his home to the company after ride-hailing failed and found Sophia waiting with twenty employees to welcome him.
• Sophia introduced security captains Luo Wei and Lin Sushuang, along with the company’s other staff.

• Mu Yuan praised Sophia’s results but worried that the company’s rapid growth might expose her to danger.
• Sophia recalled a rival boss sneaking into the company, thugs ambushing her, and players sabotaging deliveries, but regarded the incidents as entertaining.

Mu Yuan held an evolution ceremony for Sophia, who became the Epic Lifeform Daughter of the Nether Crow. After awakening powerful new abilities, Sophia planned to hunt evil in the darkness.

Mu Yuan oversaw A-Sun and Xylia’s Epic evolutions, gaining a powerful wind-controlling flier and a dragon-form hero. Elsewhere, the Hegemon Dragon Lord watched Hogg’s bloodline improve, while the Divine Glory Empire identified You Shan as one of Tai Xuan’s hidden competition representatives.

• Mu Yuan decided to prioritize evolving Bone Two, Bone Three, and Bone Four, then support Deathbone, and ordered Sophia to expand her company’s purchases of Undead-type Remnant Souls.

Bone Two, Bone Three, and Bone Four awakened Undead Bone Territory, while Mu Yuan and his generals continued strengthening their abilities for the coming Dragon Court Competition. The competition changed to a ten-participant format, delaying the Pure Soul Source Pool trip, and Mu Yuan began searching for the missing Undead Bone General after saving enough Evolution Points for its advancement.

• Bone Two, Bone Three, and Bone Four entered Epic Grade and used their resonating Undead Bone Territories to amplify the Undead Bone General's power in large-scale battles.
• Mu Yuan tested Riding Tactics with Xylia, fusing their energy as she flew through the Giant Forest and he blasted monsters with a massive Knight's Spear.

• Mu Yuan's life grade improved as his Epic generals sent him nourishment, while his territory's trip to the Pure Soul Source Pool was repeatedly delayed.
• Mu Yuan learned that the Dragon Court Competition would allow each lord to bring only ten troops or heroes, making the contest a battle between generals and postponing the Pure Soul Source Pool's opening.
• Mu Yuan decided to advance the Undead Bone General with accumulated Evolution Points, searched several locations for Deathbone, and could not find it.

Mu Yuan found Deathbone studying in the academy and sent him to evolve, where he reached Epic Two-Star and awakened King's Might. Deathbone expanded the Undead Bone Sacred Mountain during his evolution, and two days later Mu Yuan followed a beacon road to an ancient treasured land, where he met a familiar figure.

• Deathbone used his evolution to expand the Undead Bone Sacred Mountain, adding new regions and native undead creatures, including two bone dragons.
• Two days later, Mu Yuan activated a beacon and traveled with his subordinates along a road of starlight to an ancient treasured land.
• A familiar figure waved to Mu Yuan and greeted him, saying that Tian Yuan had arrived too.

Tian Yuan and the other lords gathered at the Pure Soul Source Pool for a baptism, where Deathbone’s King's Might unsettled Lord of the Flesh Mountain. Mu Yuan summoned his Epic generals, and the baptism began with Duo Lai drawing in power that would otherwise have been wasted.

• Hegemon Dragon challenged the other lords to compete over how many enemies they killed, and Duo Lai eagerly accepted on Tian Yuan’s behalf.
• Lord of the Flesh Mountain felt awe and fear around Deathbone, who realized he had not fully concealed King's Might and resolved to practice controlling it.
• Evening Elephant Lord explained the Soul Source Pool’s rules and led the lords to the sacred site, where its guardian opened the entrance with matching secret keys.
• Mu Yuan entered the pool with Deathbone and Duo Lai, then summoned thirteen Epic generals from his Lord’s Mark.
• The Light of Baptism descended and converged toward Mu Yuan and his generals, while Duo Lai inhaled the scattered power that was about to dissipate.

Mu Yuan and his generals underwent the Pure Soul Source Pool baptism, gaining major increases in level before learning burst-type skills at a Land of Inheritance. Evening Elephant City Lord warned the lords about the powerful troop systems and Epic Lifeforms of rival nations, and Mu Yuan prepared to set out for the Dragon Court Competition.

• Mu Yuan’s generals absorbed the baptism, with Deathbone breaking into the Third Order and Duo Lai reaching the Fourth Order and then rising to Commander Grade.
• Mu Yuan left the Pure Soul Source Pool with Deathbone and Duo Lai as Kong Ming’s team entered.
• The lords learned burst-type skills at a Land of Inheritance, including Energy Enhancement, Strength Enhancement, and Mental Enhancement.
• Evening Elephant City Lord explained the troop advantages of the Divine Wood Dynasty, Western Desert Empire, and Eternal Star Empire, and warned the lords to avoid their royal families’ Epic Lifeforms when possible.
• Mu Yuan wondered how Seventeen would compare to the Eternal Star Empire’s Polar Star Arrows as the Dragon Court Competition approached.

Mu Yuan selected his team and entered Dragon Court Land, where representatives of the great nations gathered for the Dragon Court Contest. The contest began with teams heading into Chaos Forest to hunt for Heaven and Earth scrolls, while Mu Yuan’s team prepared to compete.

• Mu Yuan chose his participants, leaving Three Skeletons and Falcon Lord behind and assigning Isroya to guard Tian Yuan Territory.
• Mu Yuan arrived at Tai Xuan’s base in Dragon Court Land and observed the powerful Epic Lifeforms gathered from other nations.
• Angels from the Sacred Griffin Empire arrived, and its representatives took charge of overseeing the contest.
• The contest’s rules were announced: teams had to collect Heaven and Earth scrolls and combine them into tokens during a three-day hunt in Chaos Forest.
• Mu Yuan, Mount Luofu Master, Hegemon Dragon Lord, and the others headed toward the forest’s starting point.

Mu Yuan and the other Tai Xuan representatives entered the Chaos Forest, where spatial forces scattered their teams and disrupted their communication. As the Tian Yuan Generals split up and began hunting rival squads, a Divine Glory lord realized his group had entered a dangerous trap.

• The Divine Glory representatives discussed crippling Tian Yuan, while the Eternal Star princes and princess focused on competing with each other.
• Mu Yuan and the other representatives entered the Chaos Forest, and Mu Yuan summoned his generals before the forest’s spatial force scattered them into five groups.
• Mu Yuan used his prepared tactics to protect himself and Xylia, then sent the separated Tian Yuan experts to hunt independently.
• A rival squad ambushed Duo Lai, but she shrugged off their attacks and eliminated their lord, claiming the scroll they left behind.
• Duo Lai and the other Tian Yuan Generals hunted through the forest using different tactics as a Divine Glory squad advanced among increasingly dense roots and vines.
• The Divine Glory lord noticed one of his generals was missing and felt a chill as he realized his squad was in danger.

Red Mist trapped and converted the Fear Lord into a ghost general, while the Divine Glory team was eliminated after entering her root jungle. As Mu Yuan searched Chaos Forest, a monster tide erupted across several regions, and Isroya and Daisy warned him that danger was approaching his territory.

• Treant Grandmother and Red Mist captured the Divine Glory Lord's team in the root jungle, but the lord forfeited before Red Mist could finish converting the team's souls into ghosts.
• The Divine Glory Lord returned to the outside observers and told Lawrence that his team had been ambushed, while Lawrence focused on the search for Tian Yuan.
• Deathbone, Treant Grandmother, and Red Mist used tokens to lure teams into battles, and Red Mist trapped the Fear Lord in the Netherworld Ghost Market and turned him into a ghost general.
• The Divine Glory representatives blamed Tai Xuan for their losses, while the Undead King failed to contact the Fear Lord and grew uneasy.
• Mu Yuan searched Chaos Forest with Xylia as Cold Moon City Lord learned that monster tides had erupted in the Twilight Plains and Ancient Highlands.
• Isroya and Daisy warned Mu Yuan that a monster tide was approaching his territory.

As the Red Mist and an approaching Monster Tide threatened their territories, Mu Yuan and the other lords fought to eliminate rivals in the Chaos Forest. The chapter ended with the survivors identifying five deadly threats in the forest, while Tian Yuan Territory prepared to face the incoming monsters.

• 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.
• Mu Yuan and Xylia resumed hunting, while Sario and Rakshasa rampaged through the forest.
• Seventeen found the Eternal Star Empire princess's squad and killed Starry Sky Scar with a long-range barrage of arrows.
• Duo Lai survived repeated attacks from a spatial enemy, then incinerated him by unleashing a blazing Overlimit Mode.
• The eliminated lords compared their defeats and concluded that the Chaos Forest held Five Great Terrors, each deadly to encounter.

Mu Yuan’s generals fought for tokens in the Chaos Forest while Tian Yuan Territory faced a massive monster tide. After the competition ended, Mu Yuan revealed that he had collected far more tokens than the other Tai Xuan lords expected.

• Rakshasa escaped with a strategic token while Frost Giant Dragon Sario drew enemy fire and was eliminated.
• Deathbone defeated a lone ice-domain expert, then used an undead army and an Army Soul Prototype to overcome a coalition hunting him for tokens.
• Isroya ordered a saturation bombardment with nine thunderflame dragons to destroy a huge monster tide threatening Tian Yuan Territory.
• Mu Yuan and his surviving generals were teleported out of the Chaos Forest after three days of fighting.
• Hegemon Dragon Lord, Lord Wuji, and Secluded Mountain Lord presented their tokens at the Tai Xuan base, and Mu Yuan revealed a large haul, including eleven more from Undead Bone General’s pouch.

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.
• Mu Yuan spent all fifty slots recruiting Dragon Strength Swordsmen, who emerged as obedient, heavily armored troops with pure Human Race tags.
• 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.

Mu Yuan returned to Blue Star for a reunion and joined a mission to clear monsters before attending the gathering. When a Level Six disaster warning reported a Border Area forming near Jiangbei City, Mu Yuan and Sophia left to respond.

• Mu Yuan replied to Tan Moumou that he would attend the next day's gathering, then spent the day clearing three monster groups near Baijiang City.
• Sophia arranged a luxury car for Mu Yuan, who attended the gathering and met Tan Moumou, Liver Emperor, and several business figures.
• Mu Yuan heard players discuss worsening monster threats and considered the changing situation on Blue Star.
• 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 decided to go to Jiangbei, and he and Sophia disguised themselves and flew from the rooftop as a flock of black crows.

Mu Yuan and other players entered Jiangbei City to hunt monsters that had escaped from the Border Area and rescue civilians. After the urban cleanup largely succeeded, Sophia captured wanted criminal Feng Xiu Ke, while Mu Yuan looked toward the unexplored mountains beyond the city.

• 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 summoned troops led by Lu Liu, Niu Si, and Uta, dispatched ghost troops and Sophia to clear separate districts, and used crows and a bow to hunt monsters himself.
• Sophia and Mu Yuan's forces killed monsters across the city, while a mysterious darkness wiped out the elite monsters surrounding the Old Lord's troops.
• As player reinforcements arrived, the monster threat diminished and civilians were rescued; Sophia disguised herself as a wealthy young lord and captured wanted criminal Feng Xiu Ke.
• 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.
• Mu Yuan, Sophia, Rakshasa, and Red Robe trapped Gajali with darkness and the Netherworld Ghost Market, and Rakshasa killed him before Vice President Luo’s group arrived.
• Mu Yuan registered his return at Jiangbei City’s blockade line, and Tan Moumou invited him and the other players to celebrate their rescue mission.
• Isroya returned to Tian Yuan Territory’s shop in Shiling Town with equipment for the Mage Tower and several odd personal items, which she showed Daisy.
