Chapter Summaries

• Mu Yuan judged Deathbone and General Duo Lai to be powerful assets and considered how they could counter the Gnoll Fang's Legendaries.
• Kiye used newly obtained authority to return to Tian Yuan Territory and was astonished by its fortress, canyon defenses, and powerful forces.

Mu Yuan bought three Outstanding Refugee Recruitment Orders from Kiye to accelerate Tian Yuan Territory’s advancement, then spent two days preparing housing, supplies, and reception teams. He used the first order, and refugees began arriving across the territory as Lu Liu organized their reception.

• Kiye saw Tian Yuan Territory’s defenses and became confident in his investment before trading blueprints and other goods with Mu Yuan.
• Mu Yuan bought three Refugee Recruitment Orders after learning how Guiding Beacon grades affected the number of recruits.

• Mu Yuan used the first Refugee Recruitment Order, and waves of refugees appeared around the territory.
• Lu Liu sent reception teams to guide the newcomers as Mu Yuan wondered whether the arrivals included rare talents.

Tian Yuan Territory accepted thousands of refugees through the first two Refugee Recruitment Orders while Mu Yuan monitored their talents and the territory prepared for more arrivals. As the third order brought in a group of formidable Monster Chefs led by Pao Tu, the chapter left them impressed by Tian Yuan’s stock of rare monster ingredients.

• Tian Yuan’s reception teams transported refugees from across the territory, fed them, and enforced orderly conduct while Mu Yuan reviewed the newcomers’ skills and talents.

• Pao Tu and his companions arrived at the southern gate and registered, explaining that they were Monster Chefs seeking a territory where they could pursue their culinary path.
• Lu Liu brought Pao Tu to the camp kitchen and showed him stored monster ingredients, including a Blue Silver Tyrannosaurus Rex, a Scarlet Flame Rock Armor Beast, and a Venomous Ironclad Scorpion.
• Pao Tu concluded that Tian Yuan could provide the high-grade ingredients he sought and felt relieved to have found a kindred spirit.

After recruiting Pao Tu and thousands of refugees, Mu Yuan prepared Tian Yuan Territory for advancement and entered its trial with nine generals. The trial began as a multiplayer defense of the Pure White Kingdom, where Mu Yuan and his group encountered other lords, including one accompanied by a Two-Winged Angel.

• Duo Lai ate a Venomous Ironclad Scorpion raw, impressing Pao Tu with her knowledge of monster ingredients; Pao Tu then pledged himself and his team to Mu Yuan.
• Mu Yuan reviewed Pao Tu’s powerful monster-cooking recipes and considered how the territory’s support and Duo Lai’s expertise could help him develop more dishes.
• The third Refugee Recruitment Order ended, and Tian Yuan Territory absorbed more than ten thousand newcomers while officials and residents organized housing and work.
• After resting in secluded cultivation, Mu Yuan confirmed that the territory met its advancement requirements and activated the trial with Deathbone, Duo Lai, Uta, Red Garment, and other generals.
• Mu Yuan learned the trial was a ten-day defense of the Pure White Kingdom during the Red Moon Calamity, then selected nine commanders and heroes to deploy.
• The trial began in multiplayer mode, placing Mu Yuan’s group among lords from other regions; a blond lord appeared with a Two-Winged Angel.

Mu Yuan entered a historical Advancement Trial as the disguised lord Tian Xing and learned that the Pure White Kingdom was facing imminent destruction. While the other trial lords planned to cooperate and complete missions, Mu Yuan left on his own to pursue a faster path through the trial.

• Mu Yuan surveyed the other trial lords, including the Golden Lion Prince, San Hua, Duke, the Magician, and a towering silver-armored lord, and hid his identity with Dora's Perfect Mimicry.
• The Golden Lion Prince explained that they had entered a rare historical trial and tried to place the others under his command, but they resisted and discussed cooperating on their own terms.
• The group learned that they were the thirteenth batch of summoned heroic spirits and that the Pure White Kingdom was nearing its fall to the Red Mist disaster.
• Duke proposed completing missions to gain the kingdom's trust, gather intelligence, and unite its forces against the enemy, and the others agreed to cooperate for now.
• Mu Yuan refused to join the group, declared that he was the bigger picture, and left to clear the trial quickly because the Jackal Overlord threatened Wolf Head Mountain.

Mu Yuan pursued a fast, unconventional way to clear the Sacred White Kingdom’s ten-day trial, sending his forces into dangerous regions while the other challengers followed a cautious strategy. He headed toward a reported Legendary monster, and General Duo Lai’s bombardment drew another Legendary enemy into a battle with an unknown girl.

• Mu Yuan studied the urgent missions, chose four dangerous destinations, and divided his commanders into teams to investigate them simultaneously.
• The Golden Lion Prince impressed the Pure White Sword King with his angel follower, improving the challengers’ standing, while the others worried that the trial’s Legendary monsters were more numerous than expected.
• After killing a forty-meter flesh Aggregate Monster, Mu Yuan learned from a dying soldier that a Legendary monster was at Deadwood Village and flew there with Xylia.
• General Duo Lai openly bombarded monsters despite the danger of attracting Legendary enemies, drawing several other challengers’ commanders to the area.
• A Legendary domain spread around General Duo Lai, but a girl riding a flying Slime erased and shattered the domain and its enormous pincers with a black python from her scroll.

Mu Yuan and his forces slaughtered Legendary monsters, then used intelligence taken from a monster’s memories to locate and destroy all three Heaven-and-Earth Seals. The Pure White God escaped and the crisis ended, completing Mu Yuan’s Promotion Trial with a Unique rating.

• Mu Yuan killed a Two-Headed Ogre Legendary with the Desolate King Bone, though he and Xylia were badly injured in the fight.
• The Golden Lion Prince and the other trial lords suffered losses while searching for a way to clear the dangerous historical trial.
• Mu Yuan’s forces ambushed more Legendary monsters and searched one’s memories to learn that three altars maintained the Heaven-and-Earth Seals.
• Mu Yuan and Deathbone’s forces destroyed the first seal, while the Golden Lion Prince and the other trial lords learned that a trial participant had already broken one.
• Mu Yuan’s teams found and destroyed the remaining two altars, revealing the Snake Person God and the Pure White God as the seals broke.
• The Pure White God escaped, resolving the crisis in the Pure White Kingdom, and Mu Yuan completed the trial early with a Unique rating.

After earning a Unique rating and the special Epic Pure White Feather for clearing a historical Advancement Trial, Mu Yuan returned to Tian Yuan Territory and began its upgrade. His buildings and troop grounds transformed, leaving him with vast new dimensional spaces and expanded recruitment capabilities.

• Mu Yuan received the Unique rating and the bound Epic Pure White Feather, which could protect multiple targets from most Legendary attacks for up to ten minutes.
• The trial ended early after a lord broke through the three great Heaven and Earth restraints, and the Golden Lion Prince resolved to travel to the imperial capital after learning that the Eternal Star Lord had completed the hidden mission.
• Mu Yuan returned to Tian Yuan Territory, where Isroya welcomed him and the territory began advancing from Level 4 to Level 5.
• Mu Yuan used the building upgrade opportunities on the warehouse, Guiding Beacons, Breakthrough Dojo, and City Lord's Mansion, expanding their capabilities and facilities.

After Tian Yuan Territory completed its Tier 5 upgrade, Mu Yuan and his forces received a powerful world baptism that raised many commanders to the Fourth Order Peak. He then discovered that his Mental Link talent had evolved into an immense network capable of reaching distant Seeds of Spirit.

• Mu Yuan recalled elite troops from the front lines, coordinated with Tian Yuan Territory’s allies, and prepared the territory for the world baptism.
• The baptism raised Mu Yuan and many commanders, including Isroya, Lu Liu, Hong Yi, Treant Grandmother, Rakshasa, and Sario, to the Fourth Order Peak or close to it.
• Mu Yuan used the baptism’s surplus power to cultivate the Limit Breakthrough Method and urged his commanders to do the same.
• Mu Yuan considered evolving his commanders further to help them overcome the Fourth Order limit, then delegated territory upgrades and troop redeployment to Isroya, Deathbone, Lu Liu, and the others.
• Mu Yuan discovered that his Mental Link could interfere with minds and reality while connecting thousands of troops through a shared network.
• Mu Yuan sensed distant Seeds of Spirit and established a link with them.

Sophia, Seventeen, and Lian Yue searched the wilderness for clues to the Violent Blockade Zone until Mu Yuan contacted them and gave them important information. Back in Tian Yuan Territory, Mu Yuan mastered new aspects of Lord’s Power and discovered that Evolution Power had unified across troop types.

• Sophia led Seventeen and Lian Yue around a threatening giant-tree territory while their Red Mist pollution and dwindling potions made the search harder.
• Mu Yuan used his upgraded mental link to contact Sophia, confirmed the three were safe, and shared important clues; the squad rushed off to continue searching.
• Mu Yuan examined Lord’s Power, tested its abilities, and learned to wield the might of Tian Yuan Territory.
• Mu Yuan found that the territory’s Evolution Power had converged into one stream, with 150000.66 Evolution Points available to all troop series.

Meanwhile, Falcon Lord escaped a Gnoll Legendary, the Dragon Sleeping Valley envoy pressed the Gnoll King to locate the human hidden land, and Hegemon Dragon and Lord Wuji discussed the mounting pressure at the Tai Xuan frontline.

• Sophia awakened the Phantom Night Eye, improving the concealment and insight of her Creation Black Crows, and Mu Yuan tested the talent with Daisy.
• Lian Yue evolved into an Epic Two-Star Lifeform with Limit of Moonlight, which could enhance her moon skills and replenish or reset Moon Coronet Giant Wolf.

• Mu Yuan prepared to evolve Falcon Lord, who escaped a pursuing Gnoll Legendary and left him to report to the envoy from Dragon Sleeping Valley.
• The Dragon Sleeping Valley envoy ordered the Gnoll King to locate Tian Yuan Territory’s hidden-land entrance so the Gnolls could destroy the humans and seek a passage to the Twilight Great Domain.
• At the Tai Xuan frontline, Hegemon Dragon and Lord Wuji discussed the rising Red Mist threat, their gains from battle, and the growing number of young fighters nearing the Legendary Realm.

Mu Yuan prepared Tian Yuan Territory for the coming war while its allies and commanders hunted for Gnoll Fang’s lair. Sophia confirmed she had found the Violent Area, but she could not proceed any farther into it.

• Mu Yuan bought large quantities of war supplies for Tian Yuan Territory and acted as an intermediary for the elves and giants.
• Lynn and Barnetta joined Tian Yuan Territory’s commanders at Wolf Head Mountain to coordinate their search for Gnoll Fang’s lair.

• Falcon Lord used his extreme speed to investigate dangerous regions and help narrow down the likely location of Gnoll Fang’s lair.
• Sophia confirmed the region she had found was the Violent Area, but she and her team could not go farther.

Sophia, Lian Yue, and Seventeen struggled to find a passage through the energy-ravaged region, while Mu Yuan weighed whether to send Deathbone away from the tense front. With Shen Linglong’s help, Sophia identified the route and the group crossed the blockade, emerging into an unfamiliar wilderness.

• Sophia determined that a passage might lie in the perilous land’s core, but Mu Yuan hesitated to send Deathbone south because Tian Yuan Territory needed him and he was investigating Gnoll Fang.
• Lu Liu reported that A-Sun had been badly injured by a Legendary monster and shared detailed intelligence from its encounters; Deathbone then warned Mu Yuan that unknown monster experts posed a risk near Gnoll Fang’s stronghold.
• Sophia contacted Shen Linglong, and the Legendary joined Sophia, Lian Yue, and Seventeen to explore the perilous land and break through its energy tides.
• Sophia spotted a stretched spatial road where the tides were especially violent, and Lian Yue transformed into her Moon Coronet Giant Wolf form and sprinted along it while Shen Linglong cleared the way with her Great Halberd.
• Sophia, Lian Yue, Seventeen, and Shen Linglong passed through the energy-ravaged region and emerged near an unfamiliar mountain range, where Sophia confirmed they had succeeded.

Sophia, Shen Linglong, and their group crossed the Violent Area into a new region and traveled north to Tian Yuan Territory, where Mu Yuan welcomed them. After learning how dire the territory’s situation was and how difficult it would be to obtain reinforcements, Shen Linglong promised to handle the matter.

• Sophia confirmed through the Mental Link that the group had reached the region containing Tian Yuan Territory and marked their route before heading north.
• The group avoided a vast Monster Tribe and traveled through increasingly dangerous wilderness, where Sophia noticed signs of past Legendary battles.

• Mu Yuan learned from Shen Linglong that the Tai Xuan Alliance faced a growing Red Mist crisis and that many powerful reinforcements were occupied on the front lines.
• After hearing about Tian Yuan Territory’s dire position among surrounding Monster Overlords, Shen Linglong promised to find reinforcements.

Shen Linglong sought powerful reinforcements while Mu Yuan decided against using the Tai Xuan Alliance’s emergency assistance authority, and a Mirage Lord secretly discovered Tian Yuan Territory. Sophia passed her Hero Trial and gained the Night Crow Servant talent, giving Mu Yuan a way to build the territory’s intelligence agency.

• Shen Linglong began contacting old friends and transferring troops from her territory to support Tian Yuan, while marveling at its rapid development and capable generals.
• Mu Yuan considered calling in emergency reinforcements but decided they would not solve his need to locate and eliminate the Legendary enemies hiding in the wilderness.
• Dragon Slumber Mirage Armor slipped past Tian Yuan’s patrol lines, uncovered the territory’s location, and falsely reported to the envoy that it was a poorly defended little city.
• Sophia passed her Hero Trial with a perfect rating and gained hero status, the Poem of the Night strategic skill, the Night Crow Servant strategic talent, and the Crown of Night hero armament.
• Mu Yuan recognized that Night Crow Servant could provide suitable recruits for the intelligence agency Sophia would lead.

Mu Yuan assigned Sophia to establish Tian Yuan’s intelligence agency, and she recruited the first Night Crow Servants from among the territory’s citizens. Sophia also gained a powerful Exclusive Weapon, while Tiff evolved into an Epic Two-Star life-form.

• Mu Yuan assessed the Night Crow Servant’s shared vision and planned to use Sophia’s class-change talent to build an intelligence network.
• Sophia awakened her Crown of Night, which let her create black-feather incarnations and exchange places with them, then began selecting candidates for the intelligence agency.
• Sophia changed Gray Blade, Rose, and more than a dozen other candidates into Night Crow Servants and sent them out on their first night hunt.
• Tiff arrived at the evolution site and evolved into an Epic Two-Star life-form, awakening the Epic Skill Water Mirror Reflection.

Tiff’s baptism awakened powerful water-mirror abilities, including a skill that copied people and their abilities, which Mu Yuan realized could boost Tian Yuan Territory’s production. Meanwhile, Lu Liu demonstrated his new Indestructible Golden Body against Uta, revealing a defensive skill with potential strategic value.

• Tiff completed her first evolution baptism, awakened several skills, and advanced Water Mirror Maze into Water Mirror Domain.
• Tiff used Water Mirror Reflection to copy Mu Yuan, and he tested the copy’s combat ability and discovered it could perform skilled manual work such as forging.
• Mu Yuan recognized that Tiff’s copies could help increase the territory’s medicine-making and equipment production, while noting that she remained far from the Legendary Realm.
• Uta attacked Lu Liu in the Warrior Arena, breaking through his Entrapment Domain with overwhelming strength.
• Lu Liu activated Indestructible Golden Body and endured Uta’s attacks without moving or taking damage, demonstrating the skill’s potential to turn battles through coordinated tactics.

Mu Yuan inspected Treant Forest and saw that Treant Grandmother and the fourteen Treant Lords had rooted themselves in its semi-secret realm. He helped them extend a permanent forest territory across Tian Yuan City, creating a major defensive trump card as he awaited reinforcements from Tai Xuan.

• Mu Yuan toured the farms with Gan Ling and reviewed the cultivation of Golden Grain Rice, Lapis Fruits, and White Sand Fruits to reduce Soul Sand costs.
• Mu Yuan entered the Treant region and found 290 War Treants, including fourteen Treant Lords, gathered around the six-hundred-meter-tall Treant Grandmother.

• Mu Yuan used the Treant Lord template and I Am the Forest to connect the Treant Lords and War Treants, extending their forest territory across Tian Yuan City.
• Mu Yuan returned to the city and continued preparing defenses while awaiting the garrison reinforcements Cold Moon City Lord had helped him request.

After reports confirmed that Gnoll Fang, Blood Serpent's Embrace, and Blood Tree Great Forest were preparing an all-out attack, Mu Yuan and his allies braced for war. The chapter ended with Mu Yuan practicing how to wield Tian Yuan Territory's power as he prepared to meet the threat.

• At Wolf Head Mountain, Mireina and Asolo reported signs of an enemy buildup, and Duo Lai relayed their warning to Mu Yuan.
• Mu Yuan sent Sophia and Deathbone to investigate, and Sophia's Black Crows discovered War Machines, a hidden Blood Serpent's Embrace weapons factory, and signs of Legendary Snake People.
• Mu Yuan confirmed that Gnoll Fang, Blood Serpent's Embrace, and Blood Tree Great Forest were joining the assault, while Mireina and Asolo resolved to stand and fight with Tian Yuan Territory.
