• Mu Yuan returned to Tian Yuan Territory and learned that its forces had handled several recent disasters with ease.
• Moli reported that monsters were pouring through the western Realm Passage, and Mu Yuan inspected the outpost through the Mental Link.
• Mu Yuan and his troops saw the red mist growing denser as monsters surged from the passage, and Sophia investigated the Shattered Island Domain beyond it.

The vote passed, and Tian Yuan was set to take office as acting supreme commander, with Qing Shan, Yu Chen, and Sui Yan as his deputies.

• Mu Yuan entered the Shattered Island War Zone, received its commander-in-chief authorities and appointed Isroya to a Level Three position.

• Mu Yuan oversaw Lu Liu's Legendary evolution, which enhanced his skills and awakened the Celestial God Barrier.

Mu Yuan led the defensive formation group through Isroya’s Starry Sky Gate into the Ten Directions Island Domain to establish a stronghold in the Red Mist Region. As the group explored the corrupted land, Lord Falcon arrived to save a Pioneer Territory Lord from a disguised monster’s ambush.

• Mu Yuan briefed Liu Shi Sword Master on the assault plan, while Liu Shi Sword Master and Boulder Lord went to organize the frontline forces.
• Isroya opened a Starry Sky Gate, and Mu Yuan, Azure Mountain Territory Lord, Rain Dust Lord, and the other members of the defensive formation group crossed into the Ten Directions Island Domain.
• Mu Yuan led the group into the Red Mist Land, where they fought six Legendary Monsters and met Sophia, who guided them toward a region with thinner red mist.
• A disguised black mountain attacked a Pioneer Territory Lord and unleashed enormous tentacles, but Lord Falcon severed them and arrived at the battlefield.

Mu Yuan found a site suitable for establishing the Broken Island War Zone and began the process, while Liu Shi Sword Master kept Dragon Sleeping Valley’s strongest fighters occupied. As enemy Legendaries attacked the new position, the Heaven and Earth Seal entered Dustless State, stripping away elemental power and forcing both sides into a contest of physical strength.

• After A Xun killed the Filth Construct, Mu Yuan’s group proceeded cautiously through the Red Mist region and surveyed candidate sites with golden branches.
• Mu Yuan rejected the first suitable area, crossed to another island, and split the troops to search nearby locations until they found a stronger site.

• Qing Shan Territory Lord realized the Heaven and Earth Seal had entered Dustless State, disabling the Legendary fighters’ control of Heaven and Earth, while Mu Yuan prepared to rely on his trained body.

The Heaven and Earth Seal weakened the Taixuan Legends, forcing them into close combat against the Red Mist monsters. Uta shattered the Flesh Giants and killed their commander with his physical strength, and the seal ended as the Light of Purification drove away the Red Mist.

• The Heavenly River Sword Saint killed an elephant-man Legend, while the Azure Mountain Territory Lord and Rain Dust Lord struggled against the monsters without the power of heaven and earth.
• Sario, Xylia, Uta, Lu Liu, and Duo Lai fought effectively despite the seal, and Duo Lai’s blazing suns drew the monsters’ attention.
• A thousand Flesh Giants advanced, and the Overturning Tide Lord offered to burn his soul to stop them, but Uta charged ahead.
• Uta unleashed Dragon God One Punch, wiping out a quarter of the Flesh Giants, then followed Mu Yuan’s mark to kill the Blood-colored Giant Dragon commander with a barrage of punches.
• The Heaven and Earth Seal ended, and the Legends looked on with respect as the Light of Purification spread, restoring the land and melting away the Red Mist.

Mu Yuan’s new Shattered Island War Zone halted the spread of Dragon Sleeping Valley’s corruption, while the assault group learned its failed attack had concealed a successful strategic mission. As the war zone grew stronger, Uta sparred with Liu Shi Sword Master, and Mu Yuan considered how his own concept-level powerhouses might compare.

• The new war zone’s miracle radiance purified its surroundings and severed Dragon Sleeping Valley’s corruption from spreading, though Mu Yuan recognized that the enemy vanguard was now closer.
• Hegemon Dragon learned the assault group had drawn the enemy’s attention while another force achieved a strategic victory, with Uta credited for a major role.
• Several days after the war zone’s establishment, its defenses and Miracle Buildings had strengthened its rules and made it harder for Dragon Sleeping Valley to seal Heaven and Earth there.
• Uta fought Liu Shi Sword Master in the arena, sustaining forty-four wounds while injuring the sword master and forcing him to unsheathe his blood sword.
• Mu Yuan observed the clash of their concepts and considered how Dole’s devouring and Deathbone’s death-and-life concepts might fare against a Law Realm expert.
• Dole stood on Black Mountain and swallowed the polluted energy of the surrounding regions as it cultivated in the new war zone.

Mu Yuan analyzed how conceptual power worked while Deathbone cultivated its Death-Life concept and the Broken Island War Zone prepared for renewed attacks from Dragon Sleeping Valley. After learning the enemy was spreading tainted branches, Mu Yuan arrived at the command center with a plan involving his Seeds of Spirit.

• Mu Yuan recorded that conceptual power depended on its magnitude and vessel, and compared Liu Shi Sword Master's strength with that of Deathbone and Duo Lai.
• Deathbone explored the Shattered Island Domain, strengthened its Death-Life concept through Undead Calamity Breath, and studied ways to combine other concepts.
• Lu Liu and the Tian Yuan forces completed the Broken Island War Zone's defenses, while Luocha's patrol team caught infiltrators attempting to enter.
• Ice Burial Grand Duke decided Dragon Sleeping Valley would establish tainted-vein nodes in other areas and ordered an investigation into Tian Yuan's weaknesses and potential targets.
• Mu Yuan tempered his body in heavenly fire, then went to the command center after Lu Liu reported signs that Dragon Sleeping Valley was spreading tainted branches.
• Mu Yuan acknowledged that the war zone had to face the new attack and produced the manifested Seeds of Spirit as a countermeasure.

Mu Yuan equipped the reconnaissance teams with Seeds of Spirit, allowing reliable communication through the red mist and helping the coalition win local battles. The transfer of Liu Shi Sword Master and the arrival of more Dragon Sleeping Valley powerhouses left the Shattered Island War Zone facing a new crisis.

• Mu Yuan explained the Seeds of Spirit to the Pioneer Lords and generals, and reconnaissance teams confirmed they could communicate through the red mist.
• Zhou Ran’s team spotted a Blood-colored Giant Dragon, reported its location to headquarters through a Seed of Spirit, and continued its mission.
• Reconnaissance reports and timely rescues helped the allied forces destroy contaminated branches and gain an advantage over Dragon Sleeping Valley.
