Chapter Summaries

Mu Yuan named the newly discovered great domain Ten Directions Island, expanded Tian Yuan Territory’s commercial plans, and arranged Daisy’s evolution into an Epic Heavenly Fortune Fox Girl. Meanwhile, Liu Shi Sword Master’s assault drove back the Red Mist tide and opened a major counterattack at Pioneer Fortress, beginning the battle later known as the Dragon Spine Mountain Great Victory.

• Mu Yuan rejected flashy names for the great domain and settled on Ten Directions Island with Deathbone, Isroya, and the others.

• Daisy evolved into the one-star Epic Heavenly Fortune Fox Girl and awakened the passive talent Friendly Fox.
• Liu Shi Sword Master’s strike dispersed the Red Mist, prompting the monsters attacking Pioneer Fortress to falter and retreat.
• Pioneer Group forces launched a counterattack as Hegemon Dragon Lord and Lord Wuji led their legions into battle, which became known as the Dragon Spine Mountain Great Victory.

After reflecting on the Dragon Spine Mountain victory, Mu Yuan planned Tian Yuan Territory’s development and arranged guards for its new mining outposts. He also began contacting nearby minor forces to trade resources and prepared a merchant caravan to cross the Violent Area.

• Mu Yuan considered the power of Liu Shi Sword Master’s strike and concluded that Dragon Sleeping Valley’s defeat would give Tai Xuan and Tian Yuan City room to develop.
• At the Elf Courtyard Secret Realm, Jiang Luo Xing explained plans for public extraordinary academies, and Mu Yuan asked about sending territory residents to train as technical specialists.
• Mu Yuan bought Rare-grade Watchtower blueprints and assigned Uta, Rakshasa, and Sario to guard a distant Soul Sand Mine, persuading Sario with a 2.5-times Contribution Points reward.
• Isroya proposed leasing other resource sites to nearby living forces, and Mu Yuan sent Sophia to investigate the Catfolk Race, Fire Lion Race, Ape-man Race, and Multi-Armed Race.
• Mu Yuan organized a merchant caravan led by Zhou Yi, with Lian Yue and Xylia as special guards, while Dolei offered to escort its airship through the Violent Area using a spatial barrier.

Mu Yuan arranged transportation and breakthrough materials for Tian Yuan Territory while Daisy’s team crossed the Violent Region and headed toward a pioneering camp. Two days later, their unfamiliar group arrived at a wilderness camp from the north, drawing the attention of its gathered lords and mercenaries.

• Mu Yuan asked Isroya how to transport workers to the distant mines, and she proposed buying airships and other equipment with alliance Contribution Points.
• Mu Yuan ordered four sets of Legendary breakthrough main materials, reached his purchase limit, and worried about obtaining the hundreds he would eventually need.
• Dola carried the airship through the Violent Region by protecting it with the Space Urn, then escorted Daisy and the others beyond the region before returning home.
• Daisy chose a temporary Pioneering Camp as the team’s first stop so they could earn money and determine their distance from Shiling City.
• Lords at a crowded camp in the Twilight Great Domain spotted an unfamiliar team approaching from the north as Dragon Girl flew ahead of a large silver-white airship.

Daisy’s caravan reached the Pioneering Camp and sold supplies at high prices, revealing that Tian Yuan’s forces had returned to the region. Sophia invited the Catfolk and Winged Humans to ally with Tian Yuan, while Gnoll Fang hesitated and the Evil Dragon was killed by Deathbone.

• Zhou Yi kept the airship aloft and sent two Dauntless Generals to investigate before Daisy entered the camp with Boss Jiu.
• Daisy sold the caravan’s supplies to the camp’s lords and mercenaries, who recognized the Tian Yuan Merchant Guild and realized Tian Yuan had regained contact with the outside world.
• Sophia invited Kalite and her Catfolk team to meet Tian Yuan City and offered access to ore veins; Kalite decided to investigate despite her doubts.
• The Yu Ren Queen declined to commit to Tian Yuan’s offer, choosing to wait and see whether the humans could truly withstand Gnoll Fang.
• The Gnoll Emperor waited for the Evil Dragon’s return, but Deathbone impaled the dragon with a bone tree and swallowed its surviving form into a bone-covered mountain.

Mu Yuan reviewed Tian Yuan City's administrative affairs, inspected the completed Observation Base, and learned about the planned migrations of Nature Garden and Giant Stone Ridge. He discussed academy places with Minister Qin, who offered him more in exchange for leading a corps in an upcoming Military Parade.

• Moli briefed Mu Yuan on mineral agreements, the split of Nature Garden and Giant Stone Ridge, and Isroya's proposal to separate the Municipal Department from the City Lord's Mansion; Mu Yuan approved the proposal and refused to give the Winged Human Country special terms.
• Mireina questioned Nature Garden's decision to migrate to the Nation of Merchants Alliance, but Wind Chaser Ranger explained that they wanted a more peaceful homeland and urged her to stay in touch.
• Mu Yuan toured the completed Observation Base with War Armor General and arranged for a permanent liaison officer while leaving the general in charge of its operations.
• Mu Yuan asked Sophia about War Armor General and Nanshan Lord, then warned her to watch for assassins and spies as visitors began arriving in Tian Yuan City.
• Mu Yuan contacted Minister Qin, learned that academy places could be obtained through instructors or Contribution Points, and was offered additional places if he led a corps in the alliance's upcoming Military Parade.

Mu Yuan studied reports predicting the Red Mist Tide would soon retreat, while the Star Observation Association president warned that a far greater corruption disaster could return within years. In Tian Yuan City, Mu Yuan inspected new functional Epic troop types and learned that his Flower Spirit and Wood Spirit had gained powerful healing abilities.

• Mu Yuan considered how a military parade could reassure ordinary people and demonstrate Tai Xuan's strength, then read reports suggesting the war might end within months.
• The Star Observation Association president foresaw the Red Mist Tide retreating within four months but warned that a major corruption disaster could descend again in a few years.
• Mu Yuan visited the northern Military Camp and inspected two Epic Giant Rock Dragon Turtles that he hoped to use as heavily armored transport.
• Mu Yuan found Ginseng King Coconut Fruit hiding underground and learned that the three Ginseng Kings could produce valuable medicinal materials while repaying their debts.
• Mu Yuan learned that the Epic Two-Star Flower Spirit and Wood Spirit had awakened Dew of Life, which could produce healing Dew of Life and, rarely, the more powerful Waterdrop of Life.

Mu Yuan filled in for Isroya while she broke through to the Legendary Realm, then struggled with the territory’s overwhelming administrative workload. After Isroya’s breakthrough, she sensed an opportunity involving Monster Legendary, while Black Tyrant King slipped away from Gnoll Fang to raid a mine and came face-to-face with the blue-haired girl riding a Slime.

• Mu Yuan planned communication stations and instructor placements to expand Tian Yuan Territory’s reach, then agreed to handle Isroya’s duties during her breakthrough.
• Isroya recalled her thirteen Starlight Avatars, reached peak condition, and entered the Dragon Hill Fertile Soil Mystic Realm to attempt her Legendary breakthrough.
• Mu Yuan left Starlight Avatars to manage the City Lord’s Mansion while he watched Isroya’s breakthrough begin.
• Isroya became a Legendary Realm expert and discovered that her enhanced abilities would also increase her already-heavy workload.
• Isroya used Fate Star Weaving to glimpse a wavering thread connected to Monster Legendary and contacted Mu Yuan and General Duo Lai.
• Black Tyrant King left Gnoll Fang to plunder a distant mine, where he encountered the blue-haired girl riding a Slime.

Duo Lai and Isroya ambushed and killed Black Tyrant King after Isroya used Fate Star Weaving to turn his plan to raid the mine into a trap. Meanwhile, the Gnoll Emperor waited for Black Tyrant King to negotiate with the Black Crow Clan, and officials in Tianze City discussed strengthening their academies to attract talented students.

• Black Tyrant King abandoned his plan to raid the mine, but Duo Lai and Isroya trapped him with spatial seals and the River of Stars.
• Duo Lai collapsed the space around Black Tyrant King and killed him, while Uta regretted missing the fight and Sario was relieved.
• Mu Yuan learned that Isroya could use Fate Star Weaving only when an opportunity already existed and could generally affect each individual just once.
• The Gnoll Emperor waited anxiously for Black Tyrant King to return from his mission to negotiate with the Black Crow Clan.
• Officials in Boulder City decided to keep their academies at standard investment as the city focused on developing the Gloomy Forest.
• Tianze City officials discussed strengthening their advanced academies and recruiting instructors to attract young people with Epic Grade classes.

Mu Yuan selected people from Tian Yuan Territory to study and teach at the academies in Panshi City and Tianze City, including Master Li despite the temporary cost to local forging. Meanwhile, Catfolk and Fire Lion visitors reached Tian Yuan City, where Flame Lion Kai sensed extraordinary power in a pink-haired Civil Official overseeing construction.

• The Tianze City Lord ordered an assessment to choose capable instructors from the many applicants for its advanced academy.
• Mu Yuan reviewed academy information and decided to send instructors and trainees to Panshi City and Tianze City, including Eileen, Master Li, and several of Master Li’s apprentices.
• A Catfolk squad led by its clan chief traveled toward Tian Yuan City, and Flame Lion Kai’s group joined them along the way.
• The Catfolk and Fire Lions reached Tian Yuan City and saw its open plain, battle-scarred surroundings, and ongoing construction.
• Flame Lion Kai sensed that the pink-haired Civil Official directing construction possessed strength comparable to or greater than his own.

Mu Yuan hosted a signing ceremony with the Fire Lion, Catfolk, and Multi-Armed factions, discussed the dangers of their scattered mining outposts, and considered Tian Yuan City's next steps against the Monster Overlords. He then invested Evolution Power in Rakshasa, who evolved into an Epic three-star life-form and gained the Evil Fiend Hell Sea skill.

• Mu Yuan welcomed the Fire Lion, Catfolk, and Multi-Armed factions at Tian Yuan City's signing ceremony while elves and giants attended as witnesses.
• Mu Yuan warned Mireina and Brockoff that their mining outposts could be vulnerable to Monster Overlord raids, and they agreed that the factions needed to prepare and fight again.
• Mireina and Brockoff left, and the Catfolk and Multi-Armed factions rented mining sites while the Fire Lions offered twenty Fourth Order experts to open territory.
• Mu Yuan entered Skeleton Graveyard and used Evolution Power to evolve Rakshasa into an Epic three-star life-form.
• Rakshasa awakened the Epic Skill Evil Fiend Hell Sea, which let him become a vast sea of evil fiends and remain alive as long as the hell sea endured.

Mu Yuan oversaw Tian Yuan Territory’s defenses and investigations while evolving Seventeen, whose newly awakened arrow devastated a mountain in the Dragon Hill Fertile Soil Mystic Realm. He began considering how to deploy her and watched his Evolution Power approach the amount needed for a legendary evolution.

• Rakshasa evolved into an Evil Fiend Hell Sea form, then left for the Soul Sand Mine while Mu Yuan discussed threats and intelligence gaps with Sophia and Lu Liu.
• Deathbone told Mu Yuan he would search the Northern Territory’s Violent Blockade Zone for other passage entrances, and Mu Yuan considered investigating the other blockade zones as well.
• Mu Yuan evolved Seventeen to Epic Three-Star, upgrading her Heart Imprint and awakening the Arrow of No Thought.
• Seventeen tested the Arrow of No Thought and annihilated a mountain, prompting Mu Yuan to consider assigning her to an emergency response team.
• Mu Yuan saw that his Evolution Power had reached 353,000 and decided to purchase another Domain Field Disruptor Miracle Blueprint before attempting a legendary evolution.

Mu Yuan traded for materials and heard about major developments before breaking through to the Legendary Realm. The next day, Lu Liu also began a Legendary breakthrough in Tian Yuan City, which Mireina recognized as the city’s second Legendary awakening.

• Mu Yuan met Jiang Luo Xing and other Lords at Cold Snow Residence, traded a Rock-Earth Dragon Remnant Soul for materials, and heard about an Epic Fearless War Marshal, the upcoming Lord Trial, and new Legendary Lords in the mystic realm.
• Mu Yuan confirmed he had reached Fourth Order Peak and told Jiang Luo Xing he had benefited from several opportunities.
• After completing his cultivation preparations, Mu Yuan broke through to the Legendary Realm and gained a new understanding of Evolution Power.
• The next day, Lu Liu began a Legendary breakthrough at the Ice Heart Lotus Platform, and Mireina recognized him as Tian Yuan City’s second Legendary expert.

Mu Yuan weighed Tian Yuan City’s strength against the wider world and decided to launch a campaign to annihilate Gnoll Fang before the Monster Overlords could gather intelligence or attack. The Wolf Extermination War began with Tian Yuan City assembling its forces, while Mu Yuan left his strongest reserve at home and prepared to besiege Gnoll Fang’s headquarters.

• Mu Yuan considered how quickly powerful territories could accumulate Legendary Realm powerhouses and concluded that Tian Yuan City was strong within the Ten Directions Island Domain but still small compared with the wider Eternal World.
• The Gnoll Emperor secured support from Black Crow Clan and Great Snake Clan, accepting their demands while hoping the resulting expedition would weaken both the humans and the other overlords.
• The Great Snake Clan High Priest ordered an advance south but directed his forces to investigate Tian Yuan City and the reason for Gnoll Fang’s defeat first.
• Mu Yuan told Mireina that Tian Yuan City planned to attack Gnoll Fang, explaining that striking first would prevent the monsters from exploiting their intelligence on the mining regions or joining forces against the humans.
• The Wolf Extermination War began, with Deathbone, Dole, Lu Liu, Sophia, and other forces assigned to the campaign while Mu Yuan remained in Tian Yuan City to guard against attacks.
• The Treant Grandmother gained the Seed of Life skill, allowing her to create a powerful treant avatar, and Mu Yuan identified her alongside Uta, Rakshasa, and Seventeen as one of his strongest combat forces beneath the three super Legendaries.

Mu Yuan’s forces located the hidden gate to the Gnoll Fang’s lair by tearing at the surrounding space, but Dolei could not open it alone. Deathbone used a merged Undead Bone Territory to smash the gate, leaving the Gnoll Fang exposed to attack.

• Mu Yuan gathered his forces in the black mountains and set up three watchtowers so he could extend Tian Yuan City’s abilities across the area.
• Mu Yuan used the Scepter of Heavenly Authority’s Eyes of Tianquan to search the mountains, but they revealed no clues to the lair’s location.
• Duo Lai spread the Space Rending Great Seals across the mountains, found a strange patch of space, and tore open a fissure that revealed the Gnoll Fang’s secret realm.
• The Gnoll Emperor learned that humans had discovered the gate and ordered the Black Crow Clan and Great Snake Clan to hurry to the lair, hoping to surround the human forces.
• Dolei struggled to widen the gate, so Deathbone merged more than thirty Undead Bone Territories and slammed the land of white bones against it until the gate shattered.

Mu Yuan’s forces attacked the Gnoll Fang’s lair, using a powerful War Arcane Art to blast through its defenses before Deathbone and the other Legendaries charged in. Deathbone and Lu Liu overwhelmed the Gnoll Emperor’s side, and Mireina arrived to find the battle already decided.

• Mu Yuan surveyed the Gnoll Fang’s lair and shared intelligence about its defenses with Deathbone, Lu Six, and Isroya.
• Bone Four’s army strike damaged the flesh wall, so Mu Yuan unleashed the Nine-Headed Roaring Thunder Flame Dragon and devastated the lair’s first line of defense.
• Deathbone ordered the army to advance through the energy storm while Mu Yuan planted a Life Seed and strengthened a tree to guard the Secret Realm Gate.
• Deathbone caught the retreating Gnoll Emperor and fought him, while Dolei blocked two Legendaries and Lu Liu charged through the lair to attack another Gnoll Legendary.
• Deathbone’s Concept of Grief stopped the Gnoll Emperor’s healing, and Lu Liu and the others defeated their opponents as Mireina arrived and saw a Gnoll Legendary impaled on a bone spike.

Mu Yuan led Tian Yuan City’s forces in destroying Gnoll Fang, purifying its blood pool, and rescuing the captives they found. The Monster Overlord was annihilated, and the Heaven and Earth Gift increased by one level as a reward for Mu Yuan’s first such victory.

• Deathbone, Duo Lai, Lu Liu, and Mireina broke through Gnoll Fang’s second defensive line, with Duo Lai’s spatial attack shattering its buildings and Deathbone killing the last Legendary.
• Mu Yuan’s forces reached the lair’s core, where Mu Yuan, Sophia, and Lu Liu helped purify a vast blood pool.
• Rakshasa killed Gnoll assassins, while Treant Grandmother’s roots slaughtered Gnolls attempting to flee the lair.
• Sophia found a breeding ground holding over a thousand humans and several hundred elves and other captives, and Mu Yuan ordered his forces to destroy Gnoll Fang and kill its remaining monsters.
• The purification shattered the blood pool and collapsed the remaining Flesh and Blood Buildings, dispersing the Red Mist and triggering notifications that Gnoll Fang had been annihilated and Mu Yuan’s Heaven and Earth Gift had increased by one level.

After destroying Gnoll Fang, Mu Yuan opened the rewards and obtained an Epic Crown of Kingship, a Light of Heaven and Earth Baptism, and the Fourth Order Royal Musketeer Association. The Black Crow Clan and Great Snake Clan withdrew after learning Gnoll Fang had fallen, leaving Tian Yuan City in control of the Ten Directions Island Domain’s core region.

• Mu Yuan opened the rewards from Gnoll Fang’s destruction and received a Blazing Spear Ranger Remnant Soul, an Energy Well blueprint, and a Light of Heaven and Earth Baptism.
• Mu Yuan tested the Epic Crown of Kingship and found it expanded his control over heaven and earth to a radius of nearly five kilometers.
• Mu Yuan obtained the Fourth Order Royal Musketeer Association and decided to build it and raise a Musketeer army alongside his Divine Archer series.
• Mu Yuan weighed the danger of incoming Monster Overlord forces against the need to rescue survivors and avoid an unnecessary battle.
• The Black Crow High Priest learned Gnoll Fang had fallen, suspected a Tai Xuan Alliance powerhouse was protecting the humans, and ordered the Black Crow Clan to withdraw.
• The Great Snake Clan also retreated, while Blood Serpent’s Embrace remained in its lair; Gnoll Fang was declared annihilated and Tian Yuan City occupied the Ten Directions Island Domain’s core region.

After Tian Yuan City destroyed Gnoll Fang, Mu Yuan placed the Royal Musketeer Association and discovered it had gained an expanded half-secret realm through Territory Advancement. As Great Snake Clan prepared to attack with Great Serpent’s support, Mu Yuan began evolving a Blazing Spear Ranger and faced a choice between two Epic Troop Types.

• Mireina and Tian Yuan City’s soldiers evacuated Gnoll Fang’s captives before the lair’s half-secret realm collapsed, then gathered its spoils.
• Mireina refused her share of the spoils, while Mu Yuan returned to Tian Yuan City and placed the Royal Musketeer Association, which opened its own half-secret realm.
• The High Priest of Great Snake Clan ordered an investigation into human mines and summoned Great Serpent, who resolved to strike against the humans and Tai Xuan Alliance.
• Mu Yuan recruited thirty musketeers and brought a Blazing Spear Ranger to the Dragon Mound Mystic Realm for evolution.
• Mu Yuan saw that the Blazing Spear Ranger could evolve into either a Holy Spear Ranger or a Gun Master, and weighed their firepower.

Mu Yuan discovered that the Evolution Miracle could evolve troops across compatible routes and transformed Fire Powder into an Epic Gun Master, while considering how to develop its technical skills. Elsewhere, lords pursued opportunities in the Sea of Stars and prepared for a campaign against the Spider Kingdom, as Mu Yuan planned Tian Yuan City's next explorations and deployments.

• Mu Yuan tested cross-route evolution on Skeleton Soldiers and an Undead Bone General, then used 6,000 Evolution Points to evolve Fire Powder into an Epic Gun Master with Infinite Firepower.
• Mu Yuan learned that Gun Masters needed technical expertise in repairing, assembling, and modifying weapons, and considered where Fire Powder could study.
• In God Luo Great Domain, a lord learned that a recruitable Wild Hero at Iron Stone Mountain was likely an Epic Gun Master and hurried to recruit them.
• In Twilight Great Domain, Raging Tides gathered Pioneer Lords including Lord Wuji and the Hegemon Dragon Lord to attack the Spider Kingdom after it ambushed Taixuan's supply teams.
• Mu Yuan assigned Rakshasa to oversee eastern and southern exploration, planned deployments to the major war zone, and kept his goal of expedition into the Sea of Stars.

Mu Yuan’s territory faced attacks at its mines while Sophia and Uta advanced, with Uta using his new Battle Will Armament to help explore the Raging Land. At the eastern edge, explorers discovered an undeveloped domain but were ambushed by a Legendary monster, and a Cyan Bird sent Mu Yuan an image of the confrontation.

• Isroya reorganized the Municipal Department and proposed new guard corps, while Mu Yuan brought Moli into the City Lord’s Mansion.
• Moli reported an Oak Man attack on the catfolk mine, but Bone Sixty-Six refused to send reinforcements unless a Legendary Realm enemy appeared; Kibi negotiated with the Fire Lion Chief over another mine.
• Sophia awakened the Nether Crow Avatar talent, and Uta advanced to Epic Three-Star and gained Battle Will Armament.
• Mu Yuan tested Uta’s new skill, then Uta used it to withstand the Raging Land’s energy waves while Rakshasa searched the exposed area for possible passages.
• An Outer Domain exploration team discovered an apparently undeveloped domain, was attacked by a Legendary monster, and escaped; a Cyan Bird then shared an image of the encounter with Mu Yuan.
