Yi Chen and the Great Flame Empire expanded while the Three Hegemon Races formed an alliance to stop them. Yi Chen captured the alliance’s nine elder teams, but its remaining forces turned toward the Human Army and the arc ended as Yi Chen drew the army into the Mountains and Rivers State Diagram.

• Yi Chen captured the Time Race elders and elite warriors, while the Earth Tree Race, Time Race, and Reincarnation Race began negotiating ransoms and possible alliances with the Great Flame Empire.
• The Great Flame Empire conquered twenty-two races, and the Earth Tree Race Clan Leader persuaded the other two hegemon races to join a secret plan to seize Yi Chen and divide the Empire’s assets.
• Yi Chen detected and killed the alliance’s first group of twelve stealth experts, prompting the alliance to keep its elder forces concealed as the Empire launched its fourth expansion.
• Yi Chen used Shadow Emperor, Poseis, and Titanbo to draw the alliance’s elders into a trap near the Split Armor Race, then escaped their defenses and captured all nine elder squads in rapid ambushes.
• The Split Armor Race Clan Leader and the three races’ remaining elders stayed inside the Defense Restriction, believing their forces could still defeat the Empire’s other armies, while their attacks failed to reveal Shadow Emperor.
• When the nine squads stopped answering, the alliance’s Second Elders realized their operation had gone wrong and ordered their forces to target the Human Army.
• Yi Chen warned Zong Shan, who teleported the twenty million soldiers to the Split Armor Race garrison, and Yi Chen pulled them into the Mountains and Rivers State Diagram as the elders attacked the suction point.
