After discovering that Curo had vanished following a Dragon Blood Baptism, Naiyuan prepared to visit the Theocracy and sensed that something was about to emerge in Tobo Forest.

• Naiyuan decided to visit the Theocracy, then sensed that something in Tobo Forest was about to emerge.

The Catastrophe Dragon Lord broke free of its seal in Tobo Forest and attacked a giant dragon emerging from a crystal boulder. The newly born dragon fought back with strength comparable to a True Dragon Lord, but their battle left the forest in ruins without a clear victor.

• The Catastrophe Dragon Lord awakened and began devouring the plants and animals in Tobo Forest.
• The Demon Tree sensed a powerful Dragon Aura coming from a giant boulder and attacked it with its vines.

• The dragon gained the advantage in direct combat but struggled to defeat the Demon Tree, while several figures watched from high above.

Naiyuan and the True Dragon Lords watched the Young Dragon battle Catastrophe Dragon Lord while Naiyuan questioned the Forest Fairy about her long vigil. The group uncovered clues connecting the captain of the 13 Heroes, the Dragon Emperor, and ancient monsters that had descended before the Six Great Gods.

• Vampire Dragon Lord watched the Young Dragon defeat Catastrophe Dragon Lord and privately reaffirmed his loyalty to Naiyuan, while Seven-Colored Dragon King reminded him that Nazarick had raised the Young Dragon.
• Naiyuan asked the Forest Fairy why she had guarded Catastrophe Dragon Lord, and she explained that she had kept a promise to the crystal-sword-wielding captain of the 13 Heroes for more than two hundred years.
• Seven-Colored Dragon King revealed that Platinum Dragon Lord had joined the 13 Heroes in disguise and later betrayed their Player captain, whose death was connected to Platinum.
• Vampire Dragon Lord said the Dragon Emperor had sought power from beyond the world because ancient monsters, including Catastrophe Dragon Lord, had descended naturally before the Six Great Gods.
• Naiyuan considered the new information and began piecing together the origins of the world's history.

Naiyuan concluded that the Demon Tree’s arrival had inspired the Dragon Emperor to summon World Items, ultimately bringing Players like him to the New World, so he decided to spare and care for the Demon Tree. When the Young Dragon’s Wild Magic inheritance failed and its body began collapsing, Naiyuan prepared for a familiar disturbance and suspected the world’s curse.

• Naiyuan reasoned that the Demon Tree’s arrival had prompted the Dragon Emperor to seek power beyond the world, leading to the Players’ transmigration, and decided he could not kill it.

• The Holy Dragon King, Mare, Demiurge, Aura, and the Forest Fairy witnessed the world's curse strike the newborn dragon and wither Tobo Forest.
• Naiyuan tried to change the weather with Tier 10 magic, learned the curse had not spread beyond the area, and decided to intervene using his [calamity—ruler] class.
• Naiyuan ordered Saint Heaven to maintain Wild Magic and summon Seven-Colored and Blood-Sucking, then descended toward the dragon without telling Momonga or Herohero.
• The wounded dragon lost levels and magic power as the curse eroded its body and soul, and it believed it had been abandoned.
• Naiyuan arrived amid black mist and Flames of Calamity, shielded the dragon with a sword, and healed its injuries with life force.
• The dragon sensed a familiar presence and called Naiyuan its father.

Naiyuan absorbed the World's Curse, discovering that his [Calamity—Ruler] authority turned it into nourishment, but his attempt to contact the world was rejected. As the Young Dragon called him Father and the storm intensified, Naiyuan gave him an item and an illusory seed.

• The Demon Tree cowered as Naiyuan endured the World's Curse, while Aura, Mare, and Demiurge watched anxiously and the Holy Dragon King assured them Naiyuan was unharmed.
• Naiyuan realized that [Dragon Slayer] and [Calamity—Ruler] made him immune to the curse and let him absorb its power, strengthening his Dragon Crystal.
• Naiyuan shattered the next lightning bolt and tried to use [World Linker] to learn why the world targeted the Platinum Dragon Lord's offspring, but the World Will rejected him and the storm grew fiercer.
• Naiyuan descended to the Young Dragon, who addressed him as Father, then handed him an item and released an illusory seed toward him.

Naiyuan used a Copy Crystal to give the Young Dragon the World Protection effect and stop the World Curse, then prepared to take him back to Nazarick and cultivate his cursed power into World Disaster. Elsewhere, two halves of a being argued over a failed attempt to break free, and one warned that their lord would eventually reach the world.

• Naiyuan sent the Copy Crystal carrying the Ring of Eternal Snakes' World Protection effect to the Young Dragon as the World Curse manifested.
• The True Dragon Lords reinforced the World Isolation Barrier, and World Protection stopped the curse before its phantom greatsword could strike.
• Naiyuan prepared to return the Young Dragon to Nazarick, gave him a Mana Seed to help master his cursed power, and considered cultivating him into a World Disaster True Dragon Lord.
• Naiyuan teleported away with Aura, the Holy Dragon King, the others, and the Demon Tree.
• In a hidden small world, a furious half accused the other of failing to break free, while the calm half said their lord would eventually follow their coordinates to the world.

Naiyuan traveled toward the Slane Theocracy to discuss compensation while examining the changes caused by absorbing the World Curse. He asked Pandora's Actor how he viewed the other Supreme Beings, leaving Pandora momentarily frozen.

• Naiyuan arranged for Demiurge to continue the Dragon Creation Plan, sent Herohero to search for the Elder Coffin Dragon Lord, and learned that Momonga planned to travel during a vacation.

• Pandora's Actor joined Naiyuan in the carriage and explained his role as Nazarick's versatile Doppelganger and Treasury manager.
• Naiyuan asked Pandora's Actor how he viewed the other Supreme Beings, and Pandora froze in response.
