Yang Ling learned how Golden Lion Ridge’s population helped the Great Dream Dynasty suppress the Abyssal Beast Cavern, then investigated an Immortal God Cult recruitment pitch aimed at players. After posing as a powerful recruit, he left Dong Jing expecting him to provide a name for verification.

• Eunuch Chen explained that Golden Lion Ridge had been held by the dynasty for centuries and that most of its three million residents were Abyssal People who could leave only by earning great merit or reaching Fifth Rank.

After securing a seat among the assembled officials, he faced Shi Tianhu’s master, who questioned how the Lower Fourth-Rank Grandmaster had died.

• Eunuch Chen displayed the heads, and Shi Tianhu’s master recognized the dead Lower Fourth-Rank Grandmaster and turned his attention to Yang Ling.

Yang Ling brought Shi Tianhu’s head to the Cicada-Holding Directorate, where Shi Haixuan challenged him over Shi Tianhu’s death and missing body. After Yang Ling had the Mingwang Group’s destruction recorded, competing buyers offered to purchase the six heads, leaving the sale unsettled.

• Shi Haixuan questioned Yang Ling about how he had killed Shi Tianhu, and Yang Ling accused him of shielding his former disciple.
• Yang Ling said he would take Shi Tianhu’s head to Golden Lion Ridge to sell and claimed the body had been fed to dogs.

• Xian Donglai offered Yang Ling a Three-Thousand-Year Blackwood Snake-Gall Fruit in exchange for Shi Tianhu's head, and a Precious Medicine Gang elder confirmed it was an exceptionally old fruit.

He sold Shi Tianhu’s head to the Precious Medicine Gang for a Three-Thousand-Year Blackwood Snake-Gall Fruit, which strengthened his Sacred Kirin Martial Way Kindling.

• Zhu Xiu arrived at the Precious Medicine Gang and joined Yang Ling, Eunuch Chen, Zhu Qing, and Zhu Qing’s son for a private discussion.
• Zhu Xiu explained that Land Immortals were plotting against the Great Dream Dynasty and that Shi Tianhu and Xian Donglai had targeted Yang Ling because of his investigations.

• Zhu Yunbo and Shopkeeper Wang revealed that Li Jun had joined the Precious Medicine Gang as a Protector, and Yang Ling told Zhu Yunbo to use a smashed cup as the signal to arrest the cult members.
• Yang Ling entered Clear Water Hall under the name Zhang Wei and learned that the cult’s members concealed their affiliation after Divine Domain 2.0 exposed their Attribute Panels.
• Li Jun mourned Zhai Zhen, praised the Immortal God Cult, and urged the gathered members to donate to the families of those killed at Eagle Valley Red Copper Mine.
• Yang Ling inspected Li Jun’s Attribute Panel and confirmed his Eighth Rank cultivation before Li Jun recognized him and dropped his cup.

Yang Ling learned how Li Jun exposed the impostor using Li Fengxian’s name, then met Ji Nian and the Emergency Department officers as they investigated the Immortal God Cult. He hurried to the Cicada-Holding Directorate, where an Abyssal envoy demanded Zhu Xiu’s surrender, and realized the envoy might know where his sworn brother was.

• Li Jun explained that the fake Li Fengxian had failed to answer messages from her younger sister, and Yang Ling concluded that the impostor likely had two accounts.
• Zhu Yunbo brought Ji Nian and two Emergency Department officers to Clear Water Hall, where Yang Ling learned they had joined forces with Li Jun against the Immortal God Cult.
• Ji Nian questioned the killing of the cult members, but Yang Ling and Li Jun argued that the cultists were terrorists and that they had only quit the game.
• Zhu Yunbo told Yang Ling that an Abyssal Martial Artist had arrived as an envoy, so Yang Ling rushed to the Cicada-Holding Directorate.
• The envoy, Wang Yu, threatened Golden Lion Ridge with four beast tides unless Zhu Xiu was handed over, and Zhu Xiu recognized him as a former enemy from the Crimson-Refined Fire Flood Dragon Sect.
• Yang Ling realized Wang Yu might know where his sworn brother was.

Wang Yu revealed that a Beast Tide had surrounded Golden Lion Ridge and warned that the Abyssal Martial Artists’ Land Immortal chief wanted Yang Ling alive. The defenders divided up their positions, and the next day Yang Ling and the lampbearers faced a million Ghost King Bees as players received rewards for killing them.

• Wang Yu disclosed that the Beast Tide had surrounded Golden Lion Ridge and that he had come to confirm Zhu Xiu’s location while identifying Yang Ling as a target for his Land Immortal chief.

• The next day, Yang Ling, Lampbearer Xu, and Lampbearer Xiao saw a swarm of at least a million Ghost King Bees approaching the western approach.
• Players received notices offering treasure chests for killing Ghost King Bees and a Diamond Treasure Chest for killing their Beast King, and Yang Ling reacted to the reward.

The Divine Domain announced rewards for killing the Exotic Beasts attacking the four routes, and Yang Ling learned that the Ghost King Bee venom could suppress a Fifth Rank Expert’s regeneration. As the Western Route prepared to hold for six hours, Yang Ling used flying daggers to kill the approaching bees while the two lampbearers led the charge.

• The Divine Domain announced that killing Exotic Beasts earned treasure chests, including a Diamond Treasure Chest for killing a Beast King.
• Lampbearers Xu and Xiao donned their Divine Weapon Armor and warned Yang Ling that Ghost King Bee venom could kill powerful martial artists and suppress Fifth Rank regeneration.
• A young eunuch reported that the Western Route had to hold for six hours until Commander Shi could come to help, and Yang Ling learned that the other routes faced different Beast Tides with the same rewards.
• Yang Ling declined to fight in close combat and summoned over two hundred flying daggers, killing more than a hundred Ghost King Bees in moments.
• Lampbearers Xu and Xiao led the charge as Yang Ling’s Ghost King Bee kill count surged past five hundred.

• Yang Ling judged that the Ghost King Bee Beast King outmatched him in strength and agility, so he considered using the White Bone Ring’s General Form while waiting to secure his guaranteed reward.
• Lampbearers Xu and Xiao received Chen Zhangyin’s order to withdraw to Jiajiu City because a Beast Tide was launching an all-out attack there, and they warned Yang Ling before leaving Golden Lion Ridge.

When eight Abyssal Martial Artists moved to capture him, he killed six and froze the two middle fourth-rank grandmasters, then evaded a sudden bee-stinger attack.

• Yang Ling confirmed that the guaranteed chest reward was a one-time mission and decided to pursue rewards on other routes after dealing with the Ghost King Bee Beast King.
• Yang Ling focused his attacks on leader-level Ghost King Bees, easing the pressure on Golden Lion Ridge’s martial artists and giving players easy kills.

• Yang Ling grew larger, crossed several li, and killed all eight Abyssal Martial Artists with his flying daggers before freezing the two middle fourth-rank survivors.
• Yang Ling put the frozen grandmasters into the Green Dragon Ring and shifted aside as a Ghost King Bee’s stinger shot toward him.

Yang Ling fought the Ghost King Bee Beast King, which overwhelmed him with its speed and strength until he summoned the White Bone General. He drove the beast king off but could not pursue it beyond his Origin Spirit’s range, and turned his fury on the remaining swarm.

• The Ghost King Bee Beast King battered Yang Ling into a crater while its stingers and punches outpaced his attempts to dodge.
• Yang Ling activated the White Bone Ring, merging his five White Bone Warriors into a towering White Bone General that forced the beast king to retreat into the swarm.
• The White Bone General chased the beast king as Golden Lion Ridge’s fighters rallied and attacked the Ghost King Bees.
• Yang Ling severed the beast king’s left wing and landed hundreds of slashes, but its wounds healed almost instantly and it escaped on foot.
• Yang Ling’s White Bone Origin Spirit reached the limit of its distance from his body, so he abandoned the chase and vowed to kill the remaining swarm.

After the Ghost King Bees retreated, Yang Ling stayed on the Western Route while Zhu Yunbo and Eunuch Chen went to reinforce the Eastern Route. A message reported that Zhu Xiu was losing badly on the Northern Route, but Yang Ling waited for his Emerald Treasure Chest to finish forming before going to help.

• The Ghost King Bees fled, and Yang Ling ordered the Golden Lion Ridge martial artists to guard the area and clear away the corpses.
• Players redeemed their rewards, while Yang Ling watched the Emerald Treasure Chest continue to form.

• Li Jun messaged Yang Ling that Abyssal Martial Artists had joined the Northern Route battle and Zhu Xiu was close to being overwhelmed.
• Yang Ling waited as the Emerald Treasure Chest completed its formation a quarter of an hour later.

Yang Ling opened the Emerald Treasure Chest and received a three-use pass that could transport him to the dangerous Abyssal Beast Cavern and return him after a month. Realizing the pass could save his life, he vanished to scout the Northern Route while the other players wondered whether Divine Domain was real.

• Yang Ling opened the Emerald Treasure Chest and found an Abyssal Beast Cavern Pass instead of equipment or other expected rewards.
• Yang Ling loaded the pass and learned that each use would send him to a random spot in the Abyssal Beast Cavern for a month before returning him to his starting location.
• Yang Ling recognized the pass as a powerful way to escape danger and resolved to seek out more passes.
• Yang Ling told the other players to watch for the Ghost King Bees, then vanished to scout the Northern Route.
• The players discussed Yang Ling's speed and speculated that Divine Domain was real, noting that players had become missing persons in the outside world.
