Witnessing the destruction raised Liewen’s potential to Paragon Highgod, helped him break through to Midgod, and earned him a system reward.

• Linley used the Violet Blood Soft Sword’s targeted soul attack to shatter Beaumont’s soul, and Olivier’s follow-up strike cut Beaumont and Bosha Dike in half.

• Alsop attacked with azure lightning, but Liewen’s Purification Guard blocked it before Alsop charged and Liewen drew the Angel Battle Sword.

After defeating Alsop, Liewen absorbed Soul Essence and used his battle experience to fuse the Profundity of Purification with the Profundity of Soul Deterrence. He created Purification Ripple, strengthening his soul defense while waiting for the High Priest and the others to return from the Necropolis of the Gods.

The Reynalds Clan arrived on the Yulan Continent seeking the Necropolis of the Gods, and Liewen began planning to target its members after their leader, Sadista, was gone.

• Tarosha and Dylin helped Liewen defeat Ogavin, and the High Priest and War God learned that Alsop and Adkins had occupied their empires.

• Sadista led the Reynalds Clan to the Yulan Continent to pursue the Necropolis of the Gods, but refrained from attacking Linley and the other Four Divine Beasts Clan descendants because of Beirut.
• Liewen recognized the Reynalds Clan as a potential source of Inkstones and decided to wait until Sadista was dead before attacking its members.

After gaining an initial grasp of the Light Speed Profound Mystery, Liewen waited for Sadista to die before protecting Linley from another Renards Clan assassin. He killed Nif in the Magical Beast Mountain Range and kept Nif’s nearly million Inkstones, planning to give Linley his Midgod Godspark.

• Royce told Liewen that Douglas Ron had allied with the Golden Sword Tribe and hired Apostles to seize a place on Shattered Star Island.
• Liewen received orders to assemble with the army and resolved to avoid standing out in the coming battle.
• The Ron Clan's army and experts gathered above their territory under commander Snod and clan leader Douglas Ron.
• Douglas Ron led the group aboard three Metal Lifeforms north toward Shattered Star Island, a five-day journey away.

Liewen joined the Ron Clan and the Golden Sword Tribe in an assault on the White Mountain Tribe to seize its Shattered Star Stone mining rights. The battle began with waves of soul and physical attacks, leaving dozens dead on both sides.

• Liewen admired the Celestial Realm’s sea of clouds as the Ron Clan’s Metal Lifeform approached Shattered Star Island alongside the Golden Sword Tribe.

• Luke ordered the White Mountain Tribe to launch a collective Soul Attack, and both sides exchanged attacks that killed dozens of Ron Clan warriors.
• The armies unleashed physical attacks, and another wave killed dozens of Midgods.

Liewen fought for the Ron Clan and Golden Sword Tribe, killing several opponents as their forces gained the upper hand over the White Mountain Tribe. The battle escalated when Luke and his Highgods attacked Douglas, while four Apostles emerged from the White Mountain Tribe’s ranks and four more powerful figures joined Douglas’s side.

• Liewen and Royce fought as the White Mountain Tribe brought its Lowgod residents into the battle, while the Ron Clan and Golden Sword Tribe sent their Midgods against them.

• Luke ordered an attack, and he and the three Highgods charged Douglas and the other Highgods as four Apostles joined them.
• Douglas laughed at Luke for hiring four Apostles, then four figures with powerful auras emerged from the Midgod ranks to reinforce Douglas’s side.

Liewen witnessed the Ron Clan and Golden Sword Tribe defeat the White Mountain Tribe, then watched the victors unite as the Ron Tribe and receive mining rights on Shattered Star Island. He began digging for Shattered Star Stones in his assigned mine, but his first attempt barely disturbed the Night Stone.

• The Ron Clan and Golden Sword Tribe won the Highgod battle after Luke escaped, Andor lost his strongest Divine Clone, and the White Mountain Tribe surrendered.

Liewen learned that the Ron Tribe was preparing to visit Starry Night Castle to submit Shattered Star Stones, and he hoped the trip would help him gather information about the Celestial Realm and the Planar Battlefield. He joined Douglas’s escort and suspected the all-Ron Clan group reflected Douglas’s distrust of the Golden Sword Tribe.

• Douglas ordered Liewen to join a hundred-man unit accompanying him to Starry Night Castle, and the group departed the next day.
• Liewen recognized the escort as Midgods from the original Ron Clan and guessed Douglas had selected them because he did not trust the original Golden Sword Tribe.
