Phantom Whisper and Chi Jiuzhong discussed the superpowers gathering to claim a share of Stone Forest City and doubted Zero Wing could resist them. News that Zero Wing had annihilated Star Ring’s assault, largely through one person’s extraordinary power, left Chi Jiuzhong and the other superpower leaders stunned.

• Phantom Whisper praised White River City’s growth and said Zero Wing could become a dominant force, but Chi Jiuzhong argued that Zero Wing lacked the resources and strength to do so.

• Chi Jiuzhong and the upper echelons of the superpowers were left speechless by the reports.

After the major superpowers refused to aid Zero Wing, Shi Feng waited for the controlled Great Demon Morfins to die, believing its death would give them a new opportunity. Morfins turned to ash and dropped a Dark Tower Blueprint, leaving the gathered players stunned.

• Phantom Whisper and Chi Jiuzhong discussed how Shi Feng’s victory over Star Ring weakened the major superpowers’ bargaining power, but Chi Jiuzhong argued they should wait until Morfins’s control expired before negotiating with Zero Wing.
• The major superpowers stayed on the sidelines as Yuan Tiexin worried that Stone Forest City would be vulnerable once Morfins disappeared.
• Shi Feng told Yuan Tiexin they would act after Morfins died, alarming him because he believed the Great Demon was Zero Wing’s main advantage.
• Morfins howled, ignited in silver flame, and turned to ash as Shi Feng and the others watched.
• A gold-edged Dark Tower Blueprint dropped where Morfins had died, and its dark aura stunned the nearby players.

After Morfins’s death left Stone Forest City vulnerable, more than fifty thousand experts from twelve superpowers marched toward it. As the forces converged, Shi Feng completed a magic array and summoned the Dark Tower, also known as the Tower of Death, into the city.

Shi Feng left Stone Forest City with Yuan Tiexin to confront the assembled armies of the super forces, despite Yuan’s warning that their fifty thousand experts could overwhelm the city. After Shi Feng openly refused to surrender, he activated the Dark Tower’s power and enveloped the Forest of the Dead in a domain that weakened everyone within it.

• Shi Feng learned that the Dark Tower had been successfully summoned and heard Yuan Tiexin warn that the super forces’ armies would soon reach Stone Forest City.
• Shi Feng decided to meet the armies outside the city, and Yuan Tiexin chose to accompany him as the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion’s representative.

• The super forces’ leaders demanded that Shi Feng hand over the city, but Shi Feng mocked their demand and refused to back down.
• As the super forces’ members grew enraged, Shi Feng snapped his fingers, and the Dark Tower spread a domain across the Forest of the Dead that made players’ bodies feel heavy and weakened their combat power.

Shi Feng activated the Dark Tower’s Dark Domain, suppressing the fifty thousand experts gathered outside Stone Forest City and forcing the superpowers to abandon their immediate attack. When they refused to leave, he used the tower’s second ability and summoned a towering Demon God Phantom, leaving the battlefield poised for another confrontation.

• The Dark Tower’s Dark Domain swept across the Forest of the Dead, weakening attributes and suppressing the bodies and senses of everyone within range.
• Yuan Tiexin and the superpowers’ leaders realized the Dark Tower had turned their expert players into ordinary people, while Shi Feng asked whether they still intended to attack.
• The superpowers’ leaders claimed they had other means to assault Stone Forest City, but they chose not to attack because the cost would be too high.

• Shi Feng’s transformation into a Tier 4 class left the major superpowers’ experts overwhelmed by his power and fearful of him.
• The superpowers’ leaders conceded that they could not take Stone Forest City and announced their withdrawal.
• Shi Feng refused to let the allied forces retreat and charged at them, prompting their leaders to threaten him with their own Tier 4 combatants.
• The superpowers summoned fifteen Tier 4 Legendary combatants, sending six against Shi Feng and nine toward Stone Forest City.
• Shi Feng used Sword Light Phantom to knock down all nine combatants heading for the city, then used Swordlight Reincarnation to heavily injure two of the six attacking him.

Shi Feng used Demon God Phantom to suppress fifteen Tier 4 Legendary combatants and then turned on the retreating armies of the superpowers. He left the superpowers’ fifty thousand experts fleeing and Zero Wing’s members celebrating his strength.

• Shi Feng explained that Demon God Phantom raised him to upper Tier 4 combat power, enough to overpower the fifteen lower Tier 4 Legendary combatants.
• Shi Feng rapidly drained a Legendary monster’s HP, while Phantom Whisper realized Stone Forest City would secure Zero Wing’s growth and Yuan Tiexin watched the superpowers lose the battle.

• Shi Feng went to Stone Forest City's City Lord's Manor to officially open the city.

Shi Feng entered Stone Forest City's newly promoted City Lord's Manor and discovered it had an Absolute Barrier that could secure confidential plans. With Zero Wing urgently needing funds and resources, he lifted the city's lockdown and opened it to the public with a 3 Silver Coin entrance fee.

• Shi Feng entered the City Lord's Manor and found that it had an Absolute Barrier, which could isolate the manor from the outside world.

• Shi Feng began planning Stone Forest City's construction and layout while forces across the kingdoms and empires reacted to its opening.
• Guilds and adventurer teams sent experts to Stone Forest City, seeing the open access to the Bottomless Abyss as a chance to compete for its resources.

• Water Rose and Bai Qingxue told Shi Feng that many Guilds and two superpowers wanted to cooperate with Zero Wing and obtain residency rights in Stone Forest City.
• Shi Feng proposed creating the Candlelight Chamber of Commerce and requiring cooperating forces to join it.
• Shi Feng offered senior chamber members residency rights in Stone Forest City and ordinary members a 20% discount on the entry fee.

Shi Feng arranged to hold cooperation talks with more than two hundred guilds and forces at Stone Forest City, expecting the city itself to attract even groups that might ignore a simple discount. The representatives set out for the city, including leaders from Tiger Glory, while Bai Qingxue gathered another large group in the Black Dragon Empire.

• Players in Night City speculated that Tiger Glory’s arrival could enable Zero Wing to challenge Star Ring in the Dark Night Empire.

At Candlelight Trading Firm, they were stunned by a displayed Level 60–80 Dark Gold eight-piece set, which promised a major advantage in future dungeons.
