Chapter Summaries

Bai Xiaowen planned to delay the Song–Mongol War by assassinating Temüjin, triggering the Epic Tier quest [Fall of the Eagle]. As he weighed the difficulty of killing the King Tier Great Khan, Temüjin prepared a southern campaign and welcomed his grandson Ariq Böke into his tent.

• Bai Xiaowen met with the Four Heavenly Kings and said he would create an incident in the Shaoding Plane while turning his attention to a more difficult plane.
• Bai Xiaowen revealed his plan to assassinate Genghis Khan, hoping Temüjin’s death would divide the Mongols and delay their southern campaign.
• The Spirit Realm activated the Epic Tier quest [Fall of the Eagle], requiring Bai Xiaowen to kill Temüjin for a reward of 2,000 Spirit Crystals.
• Temüjin learned that Tachar had been killed near Caihezhuang and ordered that the village be avenged, then outlined plans for a three-route invasion of the south.
• Ariq Böke entered Temüjin’s golden tent, and Temüjin greeted his favored grandson affectionately.

Temüjin took Ariq Böke on a hunt in the Altai Mountains to see two supposedly enormous eagles, but the birds proved powerful enough to deflect his arrow. As something fell from the sky toward Temüjin, Jebe warned him to be careful.

• Ariq Böke persuaded Temüjin to hunt two giant eagles said to live in the Altai Mountains.
• Temüjin led his sons, grandsons, Jebe, and Mongol warriors to the mountains and challenged them to shoot down the eagles.
• The Mongol warriors and royal family fired arrows, but none could reach the eagles flying high above them.
• Temüjin shot an arrow a thousand meters into the sky, but one eagle knocked it aside with its talons.
• Jebe warned Temüjin as an object hurtled down from the sky toward his forehead.

Temüjin pursued two apparent giant eagles, only to discover that they were people leading him into an ambush. After Temüjin sent up a signal arrow, Bai Xiaowen led the Five Elements Banners against Jebe and the hunting party while six Lords trapped Temüjin.

• Temüjin evaded a lump of bird droppings, then chased the giant eagles west to capture and tame them.
• After riding ahead of his hunting party, Temüjin encountered four powerful fighters and discovered that the eagles were a man and a woman disguised beneath Plumes.
• Temüjin fired a signal arrow and demanded to know who had sent the ambushers, while the black-armored knight raised his lance against him.
• Jebe saw the signal arrow, ordered the Mongol hunting party into formation, and spotted Bai Xiaowen leading martial artists out of a valley.
• Bai Xiaowen used Military Prestige to weaken the hunting party, then began an attack with the Five Elements Banners.

• Bai Xiaowen used the Five Elements Banners to withstand Jebe’s attacks and killed Jebe, Chagatai, and the other Mongol warriors.
• Bai Xiaowen kept Ariq Böke under the Heart-Confounding Talisman’s control and headed west with the Five Elements Banners Warriors.

• Sigrdrifa extracted Temüjin's Grievance Power to create three Boss Tier Banshees, while Butcher claimed the corpse and Bai Xiaowen collected Temüjin's equipment.

Bai Xiaowen escaped the Mongol pursuit after killing Temüjin and completed the quest Fall of the Eagle. He examined his rewards and discovered that Temüjin's necklace was a sealed divine artifact whose powerful blessings came with a dangerous curse for anyone who was not a chosen child of the steppe.

• Ögedei, Tolui, and the Mongol army found the site of Temüjin's disappearance, but Bai Xiaowen's group had already escaped through a teleportation formation.
• Kököchu identified the formation, but planted Detonation Talismans destroyed it before he could locate its destination; Jochi and Ögedei began considering the succession struggle.
• Bai Xiaowen completed Fall of the Eagle and received 2,000 Spirit Crystals and an Epic 4A-Tier Insight Orb.

• Bai Xiaowen identified the Bonefang Necklace as the sealed divine artifact Eternal Heaven's Blessing, whose benefits included doubled Spirit Force recovery and a steppe combat bonus, but whose curse inflicted a random negative effect every hour on unworthy wearers.

Bai Xiaowen considered the equipment and token he had taken from Temüjin, while Emperor Lizong learned that the Mongol leader had been killed and feared the power of the Eternal Life Sect’s master. Shi Miyuan urged the emperor to win Lu Wang’s favor with rare treasures, leaving Zhao Yun ready to cultivate an alliance.

• Bai Xiaowen examined his haul from Temüjin, including the cursed Eternal Heaven's Blessing, the Golden Wolf Token, and a wineskin of fermented mare's milk.
• Emperor Lizong told Shi Miyuan that an unknown visitor had left a letter and Temüjin's Golden Wolf Token in his bedchamber.

• Emperor Lizong worried that Lu Wang could threaten his life, and Shi Miyuan advised him to establish friendly relations through Gu Long.
• Emperor Lizong decided to send rare cultivation treasures to Lu Wang and agreed to keep the search among the people away from provincial officials.

Bai Xiaowen reported his victory over Temüjin to Chen Rong and prepared to leave while she struggled with his absence. On the Blue Star Evolver Platform, Candice and Queen Bee supplied him with a plane-locating banner, Resonance Array materials, and three Dragonfire Scrolls.

• Shi Miyuan realized Bai Xiaowen was far more powerful than Mountain-Crossing Lord after learning that he had killed Temüjin.
• Bai Xiaowen told Chen Rong he had won a duel that postponed war in his territory, then explained that he had killed the Mongol khan to delay war between Great Song and the Mongols.
• Bai Xiaowen said he had to leave, while Chen Rong hoped he would return when war broke out.
• Bai Xiaowen met Candice and Queen Bee on the Blue Star Evolver Platform, where Candice gave him a Warrior's Totem Banner to locate the Dark Age Plane.
• Queen Bee and Candice gave Bai Xiaowen a Source of Spirit Force, Resonance Array materials, and three Dragonfire Scrolls, and Queen Bee explained that powerful natives were needed to activate a Resonance Array.

Bai Xiaowen discussed portal access and dragonhide trade with the Queen Bee before learning about the Dark Age Plane’s demon-dominated world. He accepted the mission to disrupt Meng Chuan’s foothold there, while resolving to uncover how Meng Chuan controlled demons and use that power himself.

• The Queen Bee explained that dragonhide was scarce and that new portals could only be built while the Blackfang Domain Secret Realm was open, while Candice mentioned Resonance Arrays as an alternative.
• Bai Xiaowen offered the White Phoenix Fief’s portal for future cooperation with the Queen Bee, and she agreed to discuss terms after his expedition to the Dark Age Plane.
• Candice gave Bai Xiaowen a booklet describing a world where demons dominated the continent, humans survived in scattered settlements, and demons could be reborn after death.
• Candice explained that demons’ chaotic nature and rivalries kept them from uniting against humanity, while the Queen Bee said Meng Chuan’s Heavenly Prefecture Territory had likely joined the demon faction.
• The Queen Bee advised Bai Xiaowen to destroy Heavenly Prefecture Territory’s Resonance Array, but Bai Xiaowen resolved to discover how Meng Chuan controlled demons and gain that ability himself.

Bai Xiaowen entered the Dark Age Plane with his elite summoned forces and split from them to pursue separate faction strategies. As he traveled alone along the Blackwater River, he encountered a group of level 17 Elite Demonized Hunters.

• Bai Xiaowen left Vladimir in the Shaoding Plane to impersonate Abaddon and manage affairs while he brought three of the Four Heavenly Kings to the Dark Age Plane.
• Bai Xiaowen arrived in the bleak Dark Age Plane, paid Spirit Crystals for himself and his intelligent summoned creatures to learn Demon Tongue, and learned that human strongholds used Old Latin.

• Bai Xiaowen named the river the Blackwater River and traveled upstream alone as Sigrdrifa's group crossed to the opposite bank and headed upstream.
• Bai Xiaowen encountered several humanoid monsters and identified them as level 17 Elite Demonized Hunters.

Bai Xiaowen fought off a group of Demonized Hunters and discovered that the Death God's Visage absorbed the soul of one he killed. A message hidden in a damaged golden pocket watch activated the [Golden Last Wish] quest, and Bai Xiaowen set off to find Daphne Freyval.

• Bai Xiaowen resisted the Demonized Hunter's Chaotic Aura and killed the attackers with his Golden Family Bow, Inch Step, and Palm Thunder.
• The Death God's Visage absorbed the soul of a slain Demonized Hunter, and Bai Xiaowen wondered whether the demons could still respawn.
• Bai Xiaowen collected the hunters' equipment and found a damaged golden pocket watch on the Rare Elite Demonized Hunter.
• Bai Xiaowen opened the watch and found a message from Ebin Freyval asking someone to return it to his daughter Daphne.
• The Spirit Realm Rules activated the [Golden Last Wish] quest, and Bai Xiaowen inferred that Daphne lived in a nearby marshland settlement before flying toward it.

Sigrdrifa, Abaddon, and Butcher swept through a Demon gathering point and defeated its leader, Destroyer Demon Kaji. After the Lesser Imps scattered, some surrendered, leaving Sigrdrifa to decide their fate.

• Sigrdrifa sensed a Demon gathering point in an Abandoned Village, and the Three Heavenly Kings agreed that Abaddon would attack from the front while Sigrdrifa handled the elites and Butcher blocked escape routes.
• Abaddon charged into the village on his Bone Warhorse and used Wide-Area Desecration to kill Lesser Imps as Sigrdrifa's Vengeful Spirits eliminated their priests.

• Butcher and his Stitched Monsters stopped the escaping Lesser Imps, while a group led by a Lesser Imp Priest surrendered to Sigrdrifa.
• Sigrdrifa asked whether they should kill the surrendered Lesser Imps.

Bai Xiaowen reached Utu Town seeking Daphne Freyval and learned from Herbart that she had become the witch Kelowen, the continent’s last prophet. Herbart offered to bring Kelowen to the gate, but refused to let Bai Xiaowen enter the town.

• Bai Xiaowen arrived at Utu Town and asked its guards whether they knew Daphne Freyval, using the damaged gold pocket watch as evidence.
• Bai Xiaowen realized Daphne might have grown up and left town, then tried to show the guards her portrait, but they stopped him and raised their spears.
• Bai Xiaowen used Intimidation on the guards until Herbart arrived and asked him to put away his sorcery.
• Herbart recognized the pocket watch as Captain Ebin’s keepsake and identified the girl in its portrait as Daphne Freyval.
• Herbart told Bai Xiaowen that Daphne was now called Kelowen, a witch and prophet who had studied under the late great sage Erasmus; Bai Xiaowen’s mission updated accordingly.
• Herbart offered to bring Kelowen to meet Bai Xiaowen outside the gate but said he could not enter Utu Town.

Bai Xiaowen learned about the demon lords who ruled the Dark Continent and delivered Ebin Freyval’s pocket watch to Kelowen. After confirming Bai Xiaowen had found it himself, Kelowen knelt and hailed him as the great Savior.

• Bai Xiaowen questioned Utu Town’s guards and learned that Demon Lord Rochelle had destroyed Ketzko, which became known as the City of Forgetting.
• The guards told Bai Xiaowen about the Old God Cult and described the demon lords Ismen and Nibroz, whose domains and legends shaped human life in the Dark Continent.
• Herbart returned with Kelowen, and Bai Xiaowen handed her the damaged golden pocket watch belonging to her father, Ebin Freyval.
• Kelowen asked whether Bai Xiaowen had found the watch himself and whether anyone else had passed it to him.
• Kelowen knelt before Bai Xiaowen and called him the great Savior.

Witch Kelowen recognized Bai Xiaowen as the prophesied Savior Hristos and brought him into Utu Town. She used an incense ritual to guide his Spirit Sense to the Immortal Stone Wall, where he began viewing the first two prophetic scenes.

• Witch Kelowen called Bai Xiaowen the Savior Hristos, citing Erasmus's prophecy that two Kelowens meeting foretold his arrival.
• Herbart and the guards let Bai Xiaowen enter Utu Town, and he received eight Spirit Crystals for completing the Golden Last Wish side quest.
• Witch Kelowen brought Bai Xiaowen to the Spirit Hut and explained that Erasmus had carved three prophetic scenes on the Immortal Stone Wall.
• Witch Kelowen guided Bai Xiaowen through an incense ritual, sending his Spirit Sense to the wall, where he saw the scene titled "The Descent of Savior Hristos."
• Witch Kelowen began showing Bai Xiaowen the second scene, titled "The Great Deeds of Savior Hristos."

Bai Xiaowen learned that the prophecies identified him as the Savior destined to defeat the Silver King Ismen, though the final prophecy about his destiny remained unfinished. He left the Spirit Hut to build his reputation and gather support, then received a message from Sigrdrifa and the others.

• Kelowen explained that the second prophecy symbolized Bai Xiaowen killing the Silver King Ismen, while Erasmus had left the final prophecy, “The Savior Hristos's Destiny,” incomplete.
• Bai Xiaowen revealed that he came from another dimension and could eradicate demons, but asked what practical support the humans could offer him.
• Kelowen offered intelligence and herself, but Bai Xiaowen refused her personal offer and asked whether she could rally other powerful humans.
• Kelowen admitted she lacked the influence to gather allies, and Bai Xiaowen realized he needed achievements and prestige before people would believe in his identity as the Savior.
• Bai Xiaowen left the Spirit Hut to learn about nearby demon forces, then found a message from Sigrdrifa and the others on a Thousand-Li Voice Transmission Talisman.

Bai Xiaowen advised Sigrdrifa to use surrendered Lesser Imps as expendable troops and agreed to join the Three Heavenly Kings in attacking Demon Lord Feishan. The Spirit Realm Rules then activated a Divine-Scion Tier quest to kill Feishan, leading Bai Xiaowen to suspect the Supreme Demon Kings were Divine Scions.

• Sigrdrifa reported that the Three Heavenly Kings had killed a Destroyer Demon and found about a hundred Lesser Imps willing to surrender.
• Sigrdrifa proposed using the Lesser Imps as cannon fodder before turning their corpses into undead servants, and Bai Xiaowen praised her judgment.
• Sigrdrifa revealed that the gathering point belonged to Demon Lord Feishan, whose territory lay about five hundred kilometers away, and Bai Xiaowen agreed to join the attack.
• Bai Xiaowen explained that the Silver King Ismen's rule made the demons in the region more organized than demons elsewhere.
• The Spirit Realm Rules activated the Divine-Scion Tier quest Savior's Proof, requiring Bai Xiaowen to permanently destroy Feishan for a reward of 750 Spirit Crystals.
• Bai Xiaowen concluded that the Supreme Demon Kings were likely Divine Scions and reflected on how formidable true Divine Scions were at the Evolver stage.

Bai Xiaowen committed to the Savior chain quest by targeting Demon Lord Feishan and sent his forces toward Feishan’s stronghold. He learned that Feishan had withdrawn every demon soldier to fight another Demon Lord, and ordered his army to wait while monitoring the war.

• Bai Xiaowen decided to kill Demon Lord Feishan, triggering the Savior chain quest, and learned that Death God's Visage could permanently eliminate demons.
• Bai Xiaowen asked the witch Kelowen to divine Feishan’s stronghold, but her crystal ball revealed only a rough image.
• Abaddon, Sigrdrifa, and Pudge led undead servants and Lesser Imps toward Feishan’s territory, where they found the demon gathering points deserted.
• Sigrdrifa flew ahead to scout while Bai Xiaowen traveled separately toward Feishan’s stronghold.
• Sigrdrifa reported that Feishan had withdrawn all his demon soldiers to fight another Demon Lord, and Bai Xiaowen ordered Abaddon to halt and monitor the battlefield.

Bai Xiaowen and Sigrdrifa discovered that a powerful third party was monitoring Feishan’s demon civil war, so Bai chose to intervene through an undead army while keeping himself hidden. As the two demon Lords’ elite forces clashed, Sigrdrifa prepared to lead the undead into battle.

• Bai Xiaowen showed Sigrdrifa that Feishan was a ten-meter Lava Colossus commanding smaller Lava Colossi.
• Bai Xiaowen and Sigrdrifa identified an emerald Surveillance Eye above the battlefield and reasoned that a stronger demon, possibly one of the Seven Demon Kings, had planted it.
• Bai Xiaowen decided not to destroy the Surveillance Eye or abandon the ambush, and planned to have Sigrdrifa lead the undead against both demon armies while he stayed hidden.
• Feishan and the Six-Armed Pain Demon Lord deployed their elite troops, the Lava Colossi and Destroyer Demons, and the forces collided in the center of the battlefield.

Bai Xiaowen identified the Magma Jumpers' weakness and waited for the demon lords to exhaust themselves in battle. The Three Heavenly Kings then led an undead army into the valley, sided against Feishan, and attacked him.

• A shattered Lava Colossus revealed a Magma Jumper, which burrowed underground and emerged inside a new lava shell.
• The Six-Armed Pain Demon Lord Kiefer entered the battle and killed two exposed Magma Jumpers with his blades.
• Bai Xiaowen ordered his forces to join the battlefield as Feishan and Kiefer fought and spent more than half their Spirit Force.
• The Three Heavenly Kings led Bonefolk, Stitched Monsters, ghosts, and Lesser Imps into the valley and focused their attacks on Feishan's forces.
• Feishan offered the undead lords benefits to change sides, while Sigrdrifa attacked him after killing two Magma Jumpers.
