Chapter Summaries

After Gnoll Fang’s forces ambushed Bone Two’s exploration party, Mu Yuan shifted Tian Yuan Territory toward defense and strengthened Wolf Head Mountain while preparing for a major battle. New defenses and elite commanders emerged, and Uta’s completed talent let him keep improving beyond his former limits.

• Bone Two’s exploration force was surrounded by more than a thousand monsters, but Deathbone’s Seeds of Power unleashed a Nether River and revived the fallen undead, allowing the survivors to escape.
• Mu Yuan recalled several exploration forces and concluded that Tian Yuan Territory needed to defeat a major Gnoll Fang attack before expanding farther.
• Mu Yuan’s troops wiped out a weakened kobold tribe, and Deathbone purified its Blood Pools, obtaining a Large Thunder Magnetic Coil Tower blueprint and other rewards.

• Uta received an evolution baptism that completed Heaven Rewards Diligence, allowing his attributes and skill proficiency to improve without their former limits.

As Gnoll Fang gathered a vast Monster Tide to attack Wolf Head Mountain, Mu Yuan prepared Tian Yuan Territory’s defenses and chose an evolution path for Isroya. Her new Fate Star Weaving talent altered a Gnoll scout’s course, sending him into an undead patrol’s encirclement.

• Winged Human leaders judged that their forces could not withstand the Monster Tide, while Mu Yuan studied their intelligence and organized Tian Yuan Territory’s defenses.
• Mu Yuan decided to use an Evolution Baptism on Isroya, citing her contributions and the value of her versatile abilities.
• During Isroya’s evolution, Mu Yuan chose Fate Star Weaver over Constellation Apostle, and she awakened the Fate Star Weaving talent.
• Mu Yuan used his Lord’s Power to borrow a juvenile version of Isroya’s new talent and saw fate threads linking the stars to events below.
• A stealthy Gnoll scout approaching Tian Yuan Territory changed direction and blundered into a powerful undead patrol’s encirclement.

Mu Yuan and Isroya used Fate Star Weaving to locate the monster armies, and Mu Yuan struck one advancing tide with Heavenly Flame Descent. As the remaining monsters neared Wolf Head Mountain, Tian Yuan Territory’s commanders prepared for battle while the Gnoll Fang’s Legendary leaders relied on the Space Urn and assessed the living forces’ weapons.

• Isroya explained how Fate Star Weaving could track monster tides and proposed a Probability Defense System, which Mu Yuan approved.
• Mu Yuan and Isroya located twelve monster armies converging on Wolf Head Mountain, and Mu Yuan used the Heavenly Eye to strike one tide with Heavenly Flame Descent, killing nearly all the monsters in its path.
• The Gnoll Fang’s Legendary leaders discussed the strike, concluded the living forces had spent a limited super spell, and trusted the Space Urn to protect them from the Nine-Dragon spell.
• The Gnoll Fang dispersed its remaining tides, while nearby Winged Humans and a Living Giant watched the advance and judged that confronting the Monster Overlord head-on would have been the wrong choice.
• Tian Yuan Territory’s commanders gathered on Wolf Head Mountain as General Duo Lai prepared his spatial abilities and Mu Yuan saw the black tide draw near.

Mu Yuan and Tian Yuan Territory faced Gnoll Fang’s overwhelming Monster Tide as their defenses opened fire and a powerful barrier blocked incoming attacks. Mu Yuan and Deathbone unleashed the Death Legion, raising an undead tide of their own as the battle began.

• Tilly and Qiang Er watched the Monster Tide surround Wolf Head Mountain and wondered which faction had dared to confront Gnoll Fang.
• Gnoll commanders sounded their horns, sending the monsters charging into range of Tian Yuan’s fortress weapons and Snow Women’s Cold Tide Funeral.
• Gnoll Fang’s flying monsters and Evil Eyes attacked, but Mu Yuan activated Thousand Prism Mirror Great Reflection to block and reflect their strikes.
• As the tide approached the treant defense line, Mu Yuan gathered soul crystals and borrowed Dorai’s power while Deathbone prepared a strategic skill.
• Mu Yuan and Deathbone invoked Death Legion, awakening vast numbers of undead beneath the earth and forming a tide to meet the monsters.

Mu Yuan’s undead and Forest Guardians held back the Gnoll Fang’s monster tide until its regenerating War Monsters advanced, prompting Tian Yuan’s powerful champions to strike back. The chapter ended with the observers witnessing the Tian Yuan Generals turn the ambushers into prey.

• Tilly, Qiang Er, and the intelligent Gnoll saw Tian Yuan’s powerful champions overwhelm their foes, and learned they were called the Tian Yuan Generals.

Tian Yuan Territory’s generals fought off the Gnoll Fang’s monster tide while Isroya destroyed a raiding squad on Wolf Head Mountain. The Gnoll Fang’s legendary fighters then attacked, but Lu Liu resisted a legendary strike and Uta broke a domain to counterattack a gnoll sage.

• Xylia and Red-Clothed battled giant Aggregate Monsters and high-level intelligent monsters, while Uta avoided the slow giants and continued killing other enemies.
• Isroya trapped the Gnoll Fang raiding squad in a fate-weaving star formation, and the Great Chieftain died after suffering a flesh collapse.

General Duo Lai fought Black Wing King and the Gnoll Legendary experts to a standstill until Mu Yuan joined the battle with a devastating Thunderfire spell. The spell shattered the Space Urn, killed the Gnoll forces, and left behind a ravaged landscape that became known as Thunderflame Canyon.

• Duo Lai unleashed Overlimit Devour—Ultimate State to break the Gnoll Sage’s spells and repel the coordinated attacks, but could not defeat the Legendary experts alone.
• Mu Yuan ordered Plan B and used the Scepter of Heavenly Authority to direct a powerful Thunderfire spell at the enemy group.
• Black Wing King sheltered the Gnoll Legendary experts inside the Space Urn, but Duo Lai’s Space Rending Great Seals and the Thunderfire spell shattered its barrier.
• Mu Yuan’s Thunderfire Dragons swept across the battlefield, slaughtering the monsters and devastating the surrounding land.
• Half a day later, the surviving intelligent monsters fled, and the new canyon carved through the battlefield became known as Thunderflame Canyon.

After Tian Yuan Territory defeated the Gnoll Fang’s monster tide at Wolf Head Mountain, Mu Yuan oversaw the cleanup and discovered an Epic spatial treasure among the spoils. The Winged Human Country then learned that Tian Yuan Territory had killed all the Gnoll Fang’s Legendaries, while the scouts who brought the news had been knocked unconscious by the battle’s aftershock.

• Tian Yuan Territory’s forces recovered from the battle as Deathbone posted undead guards and Mu Yuan transported workers to clear the battlefield.
• Doran organized the collection of valuable monster corpses, while recruits and veterans gathered Soul Sand, Remnant Souls, and materials through the night.

• Two injured Winged Court Guards returned to the Winged Human Country and reported that Tian Yuan Territory had killed all the Gnoll Fang’s Legendaries with a powerful weapon.

Tian Yuan Territory raided and destroyed three Gnoll Fang monster tribes after its victory at Wolf Head Mountain, while Mu Yuan studied the spoils and learned about Nature Garden, Giant Stone Ridge, and Gnoll Fang. The elves and giants decided to make a formal visit to Tian Yuan Territory.

• Tilly and the Nature Garden envoys explored the battle-scarred Thunderflame Canyon and reached Wolf Head Mountain Fortress.
• Mu Yuan sent his avatar, Duo Lai, and other powerhouses to raid three northern monster tribes, purify their blood pools, and return with treasures and blueprints.
• Mu Yuan examined a Mystic Realm Upgrade Stone, a permanent Sniper Tower blueprint, and a Gravity Training Field blueprint, then considered the threat Gnoll Fang still posed.
• Isroya and Lu Liu received envoys from Nature Garden and Giant Stone Ridge while Mu Yuan watched through the Heavenly Eye and learned about the factions' knowledge of Gnoll Fang.
• The elves and giants identified Tian Yuan Territory as a human Miracle Territory and prepared to formally visit it.

Mu Yuan strengthened Tian Yuan Territory while avoiding a full war with Gnoll Fang, then welcomed delegations from Nature Garden and Giant Stone Ridge to discuss resisting the Monster Overlord. The chapter ended as the visitors saw Wolf Head Mountain Fortress and its defensive weapons.

• Mu Yuan used the Sky Eye to identify five Gnoll Legendaries in Black Mountain Fortress, but held back from striking to avoid provoking an all-out war.
• Tian Yuan Territory's exploration teams gathered wild treasures and purified Filth Roots, while Mu Yuan found the exposed treasure lands difficult to defend or occupy.
• Gnoll Fang rebuilt three conquered tribes, increasing ambushes and pressure on Tian Yuan Territory's exploration teams and forcing them to shift toward guerrilla warfare.
• Nature Garden's Mireina and Giant Stone Ridge's Asolo arrived at Wolf Head Mountain to meet Mu Yuan and consider an alliance against Gnoll Fang.
• Tilly showed the visiting elves and giants the fortress's defensive structures and weapons, explaining how they had stopped the monster wave.

Mu Yuan met with the Nature Garden elves and Giant Stone Ridge giants to discuss their shared conflict with the Gnoll Fang and the dangers beyond their region. He proposed preparing for war within months to a year, then learned that Shen Linglong had become a Legendary and promised to investigate clues for Tian Yuan Territory.

• Tilly's scouting eagle watched a Polar Star Arrow turn in flight and kill a monster from 4,900 meters away, alarming the elves with its range and accuracy.
• Mireina described the Nature Garden's dwindling resources and the growing threat from the Gnoll Fang, while Mu Yuan asked whether the elves and giants had found safer lands beyond the region.
• Asolo told Mu Yuan that violent areas of distorted space and natural energy made travel beyond their known territory extremely dangerous.
• Mireina and Asolo offered to join Tian Yuan Territory in attacking the Gnoll Fang, but Mu Yuan urged them to prepare carefully and suggested acting within a few months or a year.
• At the Elf Courtyard trading gathering, Shen Linglong confirmed that she had entered the Legendary Realm and killed a Wolfman Legendary.
• Shen Linglong told Mu Yuan she would travel north along Shiling Town in a few days to search for clues for him.

Shen Linglong agreed to search north of Shiling Town for clues while Mu Yuan upgraded the Black Wasteland and discovered its expanded grounds yielded far more Soul Sand and valuable materials. After coordinating with the elves and giants against the Gnoll Fang, Mu Yuan saw Deathbone’s strength rise and the Undead Troops’ Army Soul Prototype approach completion.

• Shen Linglong offered to search for clues while exploring north of Shiling Town, and Mu Yuan accepted her help and sold her a two-star Outstanding Grade Strength-Type Troop Remnant Soul at a low price.
• Mu Yuan entered the upgraded Black Wasteland, defeated the Red Robe Bishop and other monsters, and found that the Secret Realm now produced 60 Soul Sand per day as well as rare materials and equipment.
• Mireina and Asolo agreed to jointly resist the Gnoll Fang, easing pressure on Tian Yuan Territory, while Mireina’s council decided Nature Garden should avoid occupying exposed mines.
• The Gnoll Emperor judged that the living races would not risk an all-out attack and said he was waiting for reinforcements from Heavenly Aberration Eternal Life.
• Mu Yuan assessed Deathbone’s growing power and watched the Undead Troops’ Army Soul Prototype strengthen as their count reached 999/1000.

Mu Yuan’s Undead Troops completed its army soul and awakened powerful new abilities, including the finishing move Great Emperor’s Sword. Meanwhile, Duolai trained to develop Whale Swallowing, a technique for absorbing the power of heaven and earth.

• Mu Yuan guided Duolai in developing Whale Swallowing, combining its ability to absorb energy with the concept of using its body as a furnace.
• The Undead Troops prepared to complete its army soul by adding Bone Nine Nine Six as its thousandth soldier, and Deathbone led the troop through the resonance.
• The army soul stabilized and awakened the Undying Bone trait, the Barren Bone Tides troop skill, and the Great Emperor’s Sword finishing move.
• Mu Yuan examined the new finishing move and learned that it required momentum built through prolonged fierce combat, while using it left the troop unable to resonate with its army soul for a time.

Mu Yuan strengthened Tian Yuan Territory’s forces and arranged new evolutions while Rakshasa’s attempt to cross the Violent Area ended in the loss of one of his bodies. The chapter left off as the elves offered the coordinates of a valuable outdoor Miracle Building, the Knowledge Hall, in exchange for supplies.

• Mu Yuan heard that Rakshasa had died trying to cross the Violent Area and ordered him to return and recover.
• Mu Yuan used Evolution Glory to awaken Redclad’s talent Seemingly Illusory, Yet Not and Sario’s talent Heart of Death, then evolved Xylia into an Epic Two-Star lifeform with Dragon Banquet Host.
• Mu Yuan promised Tiff it could evolve later, anticipating that Evolution Power would transform when Tian Yuan Territory advanced to Level 5.
• Mu Yuan traded supplies with the elves and giants, and the elves offered Advanced Skill learning scrolls and intelligence to cover the remaining cost.
• Tilly proposed the coordinates of a secret, safe outdoor Miracle Building called the Knowledge Hall as further payment and began explaining it to Mu Yuan.

Mu Yuan’s team joined Tilly’s elves to challenge the Knowledge Hall’s skill-creation assessment. Bone Two gained sudden insight and created an Advanced Skill, while the group awaited the guardian’s judgment.

• Tilly explained the Knowledge Hall’s value, and the Tian Yuan Territory bought its coordinates.
• Tilly led the Tian Yuan Territory’s generals to the Knowledge Hall, where guardian Gabu Yu introduced the creation assessment.
• An elven monk created Golden Light Fist, passed the assessment, and received a body-tempering Cultivation Skill.
• Bone Two rushed onto a platform without preparing and began the assessment alongside another elven monk.
• Bone Two gained sudden insight and upgraded Charge to Shadow Fearless Grand Charge, astounding the onlookers.

Bone Two, Xylia, Lu Liu, and Isroya excelled in the Knowledge Hall’s skill-creation trial and gained new cultivation methods. Mu Yuan and Deathbone arrived as the trial ended, eager to take their turn.

• Guardian Gabu Yu announced that Bone Two had created the Advanced Skill Shadow Fearless Great Charge, and Bone Two received Dark Tide Tempering.
• Xylia created the powerful Advanced Skill Sunfire Armor and learned the Flame Breathing Method.
• Lu Liu created Glory Guard, a wide-area defensive skill with the potential to become a Strategic Skill, and learned the Bedrock Breathing Method.
• Isroya created a concealment-type skill, learned the Clarity Breathing Method, and was barred from attempting the trial again.
• Mu Yuan and Deathbone arrived at the Knowledge Hall just as Gabu Yu was putting away the trial platform.

Deathbone used the Knowledge Hall’s inspiration to create a special Limit Cultivation Method that touched the Epic Grade threshold, though it did not reach Epic. Mu Yuan tried to take the skill-deduction trial next, but Gabu Yu announced that the project had been removed.

• Tilly and the other elves watched as Deathbone began the skill-creation trial, while Gabu Yu initially mistook its unremarkable appearance for insignificance.
• Deathbone suppressed an almost-completed skill, then attempted to build an Epic method by combining many skills, but the Knowledge Hall’s inspiration began to fail before the countdown ended.
• The trial produced an unnamed Limit Cultivation Method that greatly increased tempering speed and uncovered potential, though it could not grant Epic Grade.
• Mu Yuan examined the method, praised Deathbone, and stepped onto the platform to attempt his own skill deduction.
• The platform did not activate, and Gabu Yu announced that the skill-deduction trial had been removed.

Deathbone’s skill deduction exhausted the Knowledge Hall’s spiritual radiance and closed its skill-deduction trial, though Mu Yuan later learned an Advanced breathing technique through another trial. Back in Tian Yuan Territory, Deathbone struggled to teach its Epic Limit Cultivation Method, and Rakshasa became the first general to learn an incomplete version.

• Deathbone deduced the Death Breathing Technique, but its skill deduction drained the Knowledge Hall and forced Gabu Yu to cancel that trial for future challengers.
• Mu Yuan passed the Six Harmonies Magic Cube puzzle trial, received the Rules’ baptism, and learned the Advanced Ordinary Breathing Technique.
• After returning to Tian Yuan Territory, Mu Yuan found that Deathbone’s Limit Cultivation Method greatly accelerated tempering and Soul Sand absorption, so Deathbone began teaching it to the generals.
• Deathbone’s explanations and attempts to transmit the method failed to teach most of the assembled generals, while Mu Yuan helped some of them understand its principles.
• Rakshasa used his Epic Two-Star evolution and lingering Miracle Power to learn an incomplete version of the Limit Cultivation Method.

Rakshasa evolved into an Epic Two-Star Lifeform and awakened a talent that inflicted unavoidable Concept Damage by eradicating enemies’ evil karma, while Mu Yuan prepared Tian Yuan Territory for a likely war with Gnoll Fang. He also learned that he could not unlock the Level 5 Advancement Trial until the territory’s population reached 30,000, leaving him searching for ways to recruit residents faster.

• Rakshasa evolved and awakened Slaying Evil, which let him perceive conceptual evil karma and damage enemies by eradicating it; a test against a Third-Order monster shattered its most sinful arm.
• Mu Yuan had the Tian Yuan Generals study the Limit Cultivation Method while Deathbone continued tempering its body, and Isroya reported that Legendary Gnolls had appeared repeatedly without starting a war.
• The Gnoll Emperor expected reinforcements from Heavenly Aberration Eternal Life and explained that Gnoll Fang controlled a vital transit point linking the Shattered Mountain Area to other great domains.
• Mu Yuan reviewed intelligence about the Fallen God Faction and the Monster Countries, including Heavenly Aberration Eternal Life, to prepare for a possible full-scale war against Gnoll Fang.
• The Divine Cat Lord explained that lords should build strength before attempting the Advancement Trial, while Mu Yuan learned Tian Yuan Territory had only 15,366 of the 30,000 residents required to unlock it and wondered how to grow its population faster.
