Chapter Summaries

Bai Xiaowen persuaded Ramses II that Sammet had betrayed him, regained the Pharaoh’s trust, and chose to stay at his side rather than deliver messages to other legions. He accepted a quest to protect Ramses II, then joined the Amun Legion’s dawn attack on the Hittites as the battle remained unresolved and horns sounded from Kadesh City.

• Bai Xiaowen told Ramses II that Sammet had concealed the Hittites’ plot and sent assassins after him, and Ramses II welcomed Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi back into the Ancient Egypt faction.
• Ramses II ordered Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi to carry messages to the Ra Legion and Set Legion, but Bai Xiaowen refused and asked to remain beside the Pharaoh; Ramses II then gave him the Hero Side Quest to protect him.
• Bai Xiaowen told Li Shuyi that he feared Ramses II could die if they left, especially with awakened enemies such as Zhalun posing a threat.
• At dawn, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi accompanied the Amun Legion in its attack on the Halab Legion, then targeted Hittite Elite officers while avoiding bosses.
• The battle continued without a clear victor as both armies suffered heavy losses, and horns suddenly sounded from Kadesh City.

The Hittite Hattusa Legion joined the battle, turning the tide against the Egyptians, while Zhalun and his two Hero Class teammates launched an attack on Ramses. Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi moved to protect the Pharaoh, and Li Shuyi confronted Bicha as he rushed toward Bai Xiaowen.

• The Hattusa Legion arrived north of Kadesh, helping Holimu's Halab Legion trap the Egyptian forces and disrupt their formation.
• Samp led the Pharaoh's Elite Tier guards in a charge against Holimu after Ramses called for the Hittite commander’s head.

• Bai Xiaowen identified the attackers and sent the Skeleton Champion and Rageclaw to pin down Basong.
• Bicha rushed toward Bai Xiaowen, but Li Shuyi intercepted him with her twin swords.

Li Shuyi, Bai Xiaowen, and their summons battled Bicha, Zhalun, and Basong amid the Egyptian battlefield, with Bai Xiaowen repeatedly thwarting Zhalun’s attacks. Bai Xiaowen’s counterattack nearly killed Bicha, who fled the Spirit Realm exploration, while the clash continued.

• Li Shuyi wounded Bicha in close combat, but Zhalun’s Psychic Pierce frightened her until Bai Xiaowen used Tether to pull her to safety and exposed Zhalun’s disguise.
• Bai Xiaowen’s Butcher killed the approaching scorpions, and his Intimidation let him shoot Zhalun in the shoulder as Zhalun tried to escape.
• Zhalun summoned Slime Monsters to restrain Kitz and reveal the Shadow Assassin, then imprisoned Li Shuyi and attacked her with Chain Lightning until Butcher’s Meat Hook dragged her clear.
• Bicha charged Bai Xiaowen and badly wounded him, but Bai Xiaowen slowed Bicha with Straw Demon Soldiers and battered him with a fiery melee combo.
• Bicha used a control-breaking item to escape the slow, then fled under Bai Xiaowen’s gunfire by using a return item.

Bai Xiaowen drove off Bicha and Zhalun, while Basong negotiated a safe return to Earth. With Ramses’s guards nearly wiped out and the Hittite army pressing in, Ramses sent Bai Xiaowen to kill commander Holimu, and Bai Xiaowen led his summons and Li Shuyi toward the Hittite line.

• Bai Xiaowen forced Bicha to use his return item, and Zhalun soon followed after Butcher nullified his attacks.
• Rageclaw and the Skeleton Champion stopped Basong from escaping, but Bai Xiaowen let him leave under an agreement requiring him to return within five minutes.
• Bai Xiaowen saw that Ramses’s guards were nearly dead and Samp was trapped in the Hittite formation, so he explained that the attackers belonged to a secret organization called Silent Tongue.
• Ramses released four Giant Lions to protect him and ordered Bai Xiaowen to bring back Holimu’s head.
• Bai Xiaowen led Li Shuyi and his summoned creatures through a weak point in the Hittite line toward Holimu.

Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi killed Hittite commander Holimu, but King Muwatallis arrived with reinforcements and turned the battle against the Egyptians. After the Set Legion joined and the Ra Legion was defeated in an ambush, Ramses ordered a retreat toward Amurru Fortress.

• Bai Xiaowen's squad broke through the Hittite lines, depleted Holimu's Spirit, and killed him while Samp held back enemy officers.
• Bai Xiaowen's forces cut down Holimu's banner and declared the Hittites defeated, but Muwatallis arrived with the Hattusa Legion and attacked Ramses's army.
• Bai Xiaowen returned to protect Ramses, whose Inspire strengthened the Egyptian troops, and used a Fire Demon Benediction Scroll to empower their weapons.
• The Set Legion reinforced the Egyptians, but the Kussara Legion arrived and Muwatallis announced that it had ambushed and scattered the Ra Legion.
• Ramses abandoned the attempt to capture Kadesh City and ordered the Egyptian army to retreat south toward Amurru Fortress.

After the battle, Ramses welcomed Sammet and then stripped him of command, keeping him close as a deputy while Samp took over the Ptah Legion. On the way back to Amurru Fortress, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi counted their gains and opened their treasure chests, ending with the A-grade chest dropped by Holimu.

• Sammet rejected Naheh's suggestion to gather loyal soldiers and attack Ramses, then ordered the Ptah Legion to receive the Pharaoh.
• The exhausted Hittites withdrew toward Kadesh City as the Egyptians broke through the blockade with the Ptah Legion's support.
• Sammet apologized to Ramses for his delayed arrival and explained his mistaken temple oracle concerning Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi.
• Ramses forgave Sammet but removed him as Ptah Legion commander, appointed him deputy commander of the Amun Legion, and gave the Ptah Legion to Samp.
• Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi reviewed their battle rewards and opened their chests, with the final A-grade Golden Treasure Chest having been dropped by Holimu.

Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi collected rewards from Holimu’s treasure chest, then returned with Ramses to Amurru Fortress and completed the Pharaoh’s Return quest. During their free exploration time, Bai Xiaowen began persuading Ramses that the Silent Tongue Sect had helped the Hittites and planned to install a royal rival as Pharaoh.

• Bai Xiaowen drew a Broken Slave Contract, which he and Li Shuyi considered potentially useful but too uncertain to prioritize.
• Li Shuyi drew a Commander's Cloak, and Bai Xiaowen noted that he needed one more point of base Strength to equip it.
• Bai Xiaowen drew two Premium Psionic Crystals and claimed Holimu’s head as an extra reward from the treasure chest.
• Ramses returned to Amurru Fortress, praised Bai Xiaowen before the crowd, and invited him onto the Golden Chariot with him.
• Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi completed The Pharaoh's Return quest, earning Merit Points and Revered status with the Ancient Egypt faction.
• Ramses summoned Bai Xiaowen, who accused the Silent Tongue Sect of aiding the Hittites and conspiring with a descendant of Seti I to seize the throne.

Bai Xiaowen persuaded Ramses to let him covertly investigate the Hittite spies and received a royal token granting him authority to mobilize soldiers. He and Li Shuyi went to exchange his merit points, where Bai Xiaowen discovered that the quartermaster's list included Ancient Egypt's Divine Runes.

• Bai Xiaowen told Ramses that Sammet was likely conspiring with the Hittites and asked to investigate the plot, while Ramses cautioned him not to implicate the Silent Tongue Sect without evidence.
• Ramses authorized Bai Xiaowen to investigate covertly and gave him a royal token that could secure authorization to mobilize up to a hundred soldiers.
• Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi discreetly found the quartermaster, Narmer, and checked the merit-point exchange list.
• Bai Xiaowen considered the restrictions on using food and combat potions outside battle and explained how their cooldowns could carry into the next fight.
• Bai Xiaowen spotted Divine Runes, a magical specialty of Ancient Egypt, on the exchange list.

Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi spent their Ancient Egypt Plane Merit Points on Divine Runes, and Bai Xiaowen strengthened his attributes enough to wear the Commander's Cloak. While investigating Sammet’s supporters for the Pharaoh, Bai Xiaowen traced Sammet’s trusted slave Naheh to Im Village and confronted him there.

• Li Shuyi chose a Reflection Rune, while Bai Xiaowen chose a Phantom Strike Rune and inscribed them on their equipment.
• Bai Xiaowen drank a Highland Drake Strength Potion, raised his base Strength to 24, and put on the Commander's Cloak.
• Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi went to the Ptah Legion to investigate Sammet’s confidants, and Samp told them he had detained the supporters with military posts.
• During interrogation, Zehu revealed that Sammet’s trusted slave Naheh knew many of his secrets, but Naheh was missing from the legion’s records.
• Bai Xiaowen ordered a citywide search to drive Naheh into flight, then waited with his vice-captain at Naheh’s abandoned home in Im Village.
• Naheh arrived at the house, and Bai Xiaowen identified him despite his denial.

Bai Xiaowen tracked Naheh to his hometown and confronted the powerful gladiator, who fought back with speed and deadly skill. Bai Xiaowen’s summoned forces and Li Shuyi overwhelmed Naheh after draining his Spirit and controlling him, but Naheh destroyed three summoned creatures before he died.

• Bai Xiaowen explained how he had narrowed Naheh’s likely hiding places to three locations and chosen Im Village.
• Naheh attacked Bai Xiaowen, but Li Shuyi intercepted his spear as Bai Xiaowen used Insight to assess him.
• Li Shuyi and Rageclaw fought Naheh while Bai Xiaowen’s Vengeful Spirit drained his Spirit and Naheh’s Dazzling Assault failed to hit Li Shuyi in her Intangible state.
• Naheh pierced through the summoned Skeleton Sword-and-Shield Soldiers and wounded Bai Xiaowen before Bai Xiaowen surrounded him with more summoned creatures.
• Naheh activated Potential Release but was stunned when his Spirit ran too low, then Bai Xiaowen’s group controlled and battered him.
• Naheh killed three summoned creatures in a final counterattack before he died.

Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi followed a clue from Naheh’s journal to Edjo Temple, hoping to uncover information about the Silent Tongue. Bai Xiaowen had the temple detained under Pharaoh Ramses’s authority and began questioning High Priest Anmusu about its missing leaders.

• Bai Xiaowen opened Naheh’s chest, gained a combat elixir for Li Shuyi, and found Naheh’s journal.
• Bai Xiaowen learned that Naheh had contacted Edjo’s priests and that the journal identified an Edjo Temple stronghold.
• Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi donated gold at Edjo Temple, where Bai Xiaowen posed as a wealthy potential believer.
• Bai Xiaowen asked High Priest Anmusu about Moaitaihe, Ahmose, and Tiya, revealing that he knew the names of the sect’s powerful leaders.
• Bai Xiaowen declared Edjo Temple under suspicion of treason and ordered the Memphis City Guard to detain its priests and monks.
• Anmusu ordered the monks to surrender, and Bai Xiaowen demanded that he explain who Moaitaihe, Ahmose, and Tiya were.

Bai Xiaowen interrogated the priests of Edjo Temple and uncovered the truth about the Silent Tongue organization and its Golden Snake Disc. After comparing their translations of Tiya’s papyrus, he pieced together a structural diagram and decided he no longer needed to question Anmusu.

• Anmusu claimed that Moaitaihe, Ahmose, and Tiya had founded the Silent Tongue Sect and lost contact with Edjo Temple, but Bai Xiaowen accused him of lying.
• Bai Xiaowen had the priests and monks imprisoned, then used threats of execution and promises of power to interrogate them.
• Several priests confessed that Moaitaihe, Ahmose, and Tiya were pioneers who sought a new land for the Snake God’s faith using an ancient object called the Golden Snake Disc.
• Bai Xiaowen had the priests separately translate the papyrus he had obtained from Tiya the Snake Herder.
• Anmusu insisted the Silent Tongue organization remained loyal to the Snake God and could not have colluded with the Hittites.
• After reviewing the priests’ papyrus interpretations, Bai Xiaowen pieced together a three-dimensional structural diagram and told Anmusu he no longer needed to question him.

Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi discovered the Serpent God Dungeon and accepted the secret S-Tier Scavenger quest to kill the Silent Tongue Sect’s high priest and destroy the Golden Snake Disc. They entered the maze-like dungeon, defeated two patrol groups, and suspected that enemies would grow more numerous as they delayed.

• Bai Xiaowen opened a hidden entrance beneath the serpent statue while Li Shuyi killed Anmusu, revealing the Serpent God Dungeon and activating the Scavenger quest.
• Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi learned that the quest carried confidentiality level 3, then sent the Egyptian soldiers back to Memphis because they could not enter the dungeon.
• Bai Xiaowen used Tiya’s map and the priests’ testimony to guide Li Shuyi through the dungeon’s passageways toward Tiya’s room.
• Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi defeated three Silent Tongue cultists and found food in all three treasure chests, including a Dried Fig that could remove control effects.
• Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi defeated a second patrol of six cultists and found more food, then Bai Xiaowen warned that patrols might grow larger and stronger over time.

Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi found Tiya’s hall, uncovered clues about the Golden Snake Disc, and killed the Silent Tongue Sect followers who attacked them. They then reached Ahmose’s hall, where Bai Xiaowen prepared an unusual way to search for the invisible Execution Priest.

• Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi entered Tiya’s hall and found his carved message on the stone table.
• Ten Silent Tongue Sect followers attacked, and Bai Xiaowen used Super Orochi Nagi to defeat them with help from his summons and Li Shuyi.
• Bai Xiaowen deciphered Tiya’s message and learned that Tiya had passed through the Golden Snake Disc’s gateway to Earth six months earlier.
• Bai Xiaowen concluded that they needed to kill the two High Priests before destroying the Golden Snake Disc on the lower level.
• Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi entered Ahmose’s hall and heard the invisible Execution Priest declare that he would punish them.
• Bai Xiaowen had his summoned creatures form a line and sweep across the hall to expose Ahmose.

Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi defeated High Priest Ahmose, then descended to the Underground Palace’s lower level to find the Golden Snake Disc and High Priest Moaitaihe. They learned the disc was linked to three high priests’ spiritual imprints, and Moaitaihe revealed himself as a formidable, prayer-enhanced boss.

• Li Shuyi pulled Bai Xiaowen out of Ahmose’s underground ambush, and the pair fought the high priest with their summoned creatures until he fell.
• Bai Xiaowen collected Ahmose’s treasure chest, then he and Li Shuyi searched the upper level for Moaitaihe but found an empty hall.
• Bai Xiaowen used Super Orochi Nagi to overwhelm fourteen elite cultists who arrived to avenge Ahmose.
• Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi descended to the lower level and found the Golden Snake Disc on an altar, guarded by Moaitaihe and his giant python, Basha.
• Bai Xiaowen’s shot revealed that the Golden Snake Disc could only be destroyed after the spiritual imprints of Moaitaihe, Ahmose, and Tiya were erased.
• Moaitaihe awakened in his Might Prayer State and confronted the pair with boosted attributes and powerful abilities.

Moaitaihe fused with the Boss Tier python Basha, raising his Strength to 96, and fought Bai Xiaowen’s team. The battle continued with Moaitaihe unleashing Counterattack Storm, leaving Rageclaw badly wounded and the team struggling to bring him down.

• Moaitaihe merged with Basha using Python Pact, dramatically increasing his size and Strength.
• Li Shuyi, Rageclaw, the Skeleton Champion, and Bai Xiaowen attacked Moaitaihe, but his scepter shattered the Skeleton Champion and he later destroyed two Skeleton Sword-and-Shield Soldiers.
• Moaitaihe spun his scepter to become immune to attacks, then stunned nearby enemies with a burst of airwaves as Bai Xiaowen ordered his team to retreat.
• Li Shuyi used Savage Charge and Demonfire Dance to fight Moaitaihe at close range while Bai Xiaowen’s summons and gunfire chipped away at him and drained his mana.
• Moaitaihe triggered Counterattack Storm, killing another Skeleton Sword-and-Shield Soldier and reducing Rageclaw’s Life Value to around 60%, while Kitz narrowly escaped using Bat Transformation.

Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi defeated Moaitaihe after summoning Elite Snakefolk reinforcements and sacrificing their summoned creatures. After discovering a collapsing subspace within the Golden Snake Disc, Bai Xiaowen negotiated with the Spirit Realm Rules to try to obtain the disc or secure additional rewards.

• Bai Xiaowen severed Life Sharing, healed with the Blood Essence Stone, and helped Li Shuyi and his summons force Moaitaihe out of his fused state.
• When Moaitaihe used lettuce to restore Spirit and weakened Rageclaw with Corrosive Strike, Bai Xiaowen summoned twelve Elite Snakefolk with the Smooth Bone Flute.
• Rageclaw pinned Moaitaihe during a coordinated assault, but Moaitaihe killed him and then wiped out the Snakefolk while Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi kept attacking.
• The Butcher rescued Li Shuyi from Moaitaihe's final assault, and Bai Xiaowen's group killed the boss, who dropped a Large Golden Treasure Chest.
• Bai Xiaowen probed the Golden Snake Disc and saw a collapsing subspace, then asked the Spirit Realm Rules to let him keep the disc in exchange for the quest reward.
• After the Spirit Realm Rules rejected his proposals, Bai Xiaowen threatened to leave the disc in the Ramses Plane World as a negotiating tactic.

Bai Xiaowen negotiated with the Spirit Realm Rules over the Scavenger quest’s compensation, securing permission for Flash's Lucky Coin to copy previously obtained loot or quest rewards. He and Li Shuyi completed the quest, received the coin and a title, and gained a substantial amount of experience.

• Bai Xiaowen argued that the Scavenger quest was misrated and that its reward did not compensate him for the extra item he had used.
• The Spirit Realm Rules refused to change the Luck Coin’s core restrictions but agreed to let it copy loot or quest rewards obtained previously.
• Bai Xiaowen shot the Golden Snake Disc after Moaitaihe’s death removed its immunity, and he and Li Shuyi heard an unwilling roar as it vanished.
• Bai Xiaowen submitted the Scavenger quest and received Flash's Lucky Coin and the special title Junior Scavenger.
• Bai Xiaowen’s experience rose from 6% to 19%, while Li Shuyi’s rose from 9% to 30%.

Bai Xiaowen used Flash's Lucky Coin to duplicate the Book of Fate Revelation, then used the two copies to guide treasure chest draws for Venomfang Priest Set pieces. He and Li Shuyi gained new equipment, including a second set piece, and prepared to check the set bonus.

• Bai Xiaowen spent 12,000 Psionic Points to duplicate the Book of Fate Revelation with Flash's Lucky Coin.
• Bai Xiaowen used the first Book of Fate Revelation to select a headpiece from Ahmose's Treasure Chest and obtained Venomfang Priest's Crown.
• Bai Xiaowen used the second Book of Fate Revelation to select trousers from Moaitaihe's Treasure Chest and obtained the Gold Equipment Basha's Entanglement instead of a set piece.
• Li Shuyi drank Bai Xiaowen's Dragon Rhino Physique Potion and drew Juicy Lettuce from one card.
• Li Shuyi drew Venomfang Priest Staff from the final card, giving them a second set piece, and urged Bai Xiaowen to check the set bonus.

Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi completed the Venomfang Priest set and equipped it on Butcher, then finished the Hittite Spy Investigation before leaving the Ramses Plane World. After their return, they revived Rageclaw and began enhancing their equipment, with Butcher’s scepter and robe still to be upgraded.

• Bai Xiaowen identified the Venomfang Priest set’s poison-focused bonuses and equipped all three pieces on Butcher, whose requirements were met through Bai Xiaowen’s attributes.
• Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi chose to investigate the Hittite spies instead of traveling back to the distant battlefield, and Li Shuyi drank a Dragon Rhino Physique Potion before equipping Basha’s Entanglement.
• Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi destroyed all three Hittite bases, obtained a Hittite Rally Order, and reported their success to the prime minister before leaving Ancient Egypt.
• Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi returned from the Ramses Plane World with B-Tier Royal Guard titles, while their clearance evaluation omitted the Scavenger quest from its final scenes.
• Bai Xiaowen revived Rageclaw, and he and Li Shuyi enhanced their equipment, raising the Commander's Cloak, Basha’s Entanglement, and Butcher’s crown to +4.
