After the angel vanished and Heswitt entered a berserk state, Shi Feng advanced to Tier 4 to protect Anna, and the team kept attacking until he killed the dragon.

• Anna summoned a Tier 4 upper-rank Battle Angel, which used Source Magic to shatter Ice Dragon Heswitt's Meteor Pursuit.

After completing Ice Dragon Heswitt’s subjugation quest, Shi Feng became the first player lord and was automatically promoted to One-Star Lord. He spent 44,500 gold placing recruitment orders across more than four hundred cities, then headed to Candlelight Trading Firm to begin manufacturing the Red Dragon Airship.

• Shi Feng left the Adventurers’ Association and headed to Candlelight Trading Firm to begin manufacturing the Red Dragon Airship.

Shi Feng began building a Red Dragon Airship in secret, hoping its transport capacity would provide Zero Wing with the funds and resources it needed to survive on Level 100 neutral maps. He finished inscribing the power source’s magic array, but the chapter left its success uncertain.

• Shi Feng showed Melancholy Smile the Red Dragon Airship design and asked her to organize the production of its components without revealing what they were building.
• Shi Feng explained that Zero Wing needed the airship’s profitable transportation business to secure resources for its territory and knight order.
• Melancholy Smile distributed the component blueprints among Candlelight’s lifestyle masters, while Shi Feng focused on making the power source.
• Shi Feng studied and practiced the power source’s complex magic arrays, then used the Dragon Blood Crystal to improve his chance of success.
• After nearly six hours of crafting, Shi Feng completed the power source and finished inscribing its final magic rune as the gathered mana began to disperse.

Shi Feng and Melancholy Smile completed the Advanced Red Dragon Airship after a Dragon Blood Crystal upgraded its power source to Bronze Grade. When Dark Sin Heart reported trouble affecting the Freedom Alliance’s End Sea materials, Shi Feng decided to travel to the Apocalypse Empire while Melancholy Smile gathered supplies for more airships.

• Shi Feng crafted a Bronze Grade airship power source with the Dragon Blood Crystal, then had Melancholy Smile accelerate production of the remaining components.
• Shi Feng and Melancholy Smile assembled the Red Dragon Airship on an isolated plain, and its Bronze Grade power source made it an Advanced Airship capable of contending with Tier 4 Legendary monsters.

• Shi Feng arrived in Blue Bay City and observed how Unfallen Light had developed the port city under Dark Sin Heart’s leadership.
• Dark Sin Heart personally welcomed Shi Feng and led him into a restaurant to discuss the Freedom Alliance’s summons.
• Dark Sin Heart explained that a powerful new force had taken over the Freedom Alliance’s First Fleet and wanted to reorganize its partners at Starfall Island.
• Dark Sin Heart said Unfallen Light had gathered eight Bronze Speedboats and one Mystic Iron Grade Speedboat, though he believed they needed more ships to reach Starfall Island safely.
• Shi Feng declared that Unfallen Light’s assembled vessels were sufficient and told Dark Sin Heart to set out at once.

Shi Feng brought a Mystic Iron Grade Storm Sailboat to help Unfallen Light reach Starfall Island and join the Freedom Alliance’s gathering. Giant’s Heart arrived with an overwhelming fleet, but a mysterious Mystic Iron Grade sailboat then approached, leaving the gathered forces wondering who was aboard.

• Shi Feng revealed the Storm Sailboat to reassure Dark Sin Heart that their fleet could reach Starfall Island.

• A large sailboat with three main sails and a magical barrier approached Starfall Island, and the gathered forces recognized it as Mystic Iron Grade.

The Freedom Alliance set a dangerous Chaos Sea cargo run as the test for renewing partnerships, and Shi Feng decided Zero Wing would help Dark Sin Heart attempt it.

• Dark Sin Heart and the others arrived at Starfall Island aboard Zero Wing's Storm Sailboat, and the major forces recognized Ye Feng and debated Zero Wing's strength.
• Jie Yan announced that prospective Freedom Alliance partners had to transport precious materials from Starfall Island to Ghost City in the Chaos Sea to qualify for continued cooperation.
• Bai Ye explained that the test would likely cost Jun Wuchang Unfallen Light's support and force many partner groups out of the alliance.
• Dark Sin Heart decided to attempt the dangerous voyage alone, but Shi Feng said Zero Wing would accompany him because it was a major shareholder of Unfallen Light and needed the resources.

Shi Feng joined the Freedom Alliance’s fleet test to deliver Void Rawstone to Ghost City, where the first power to arrive would win a partnership in the Alliance’s primordial Void mine. After Jie Yan confirmed the rules, Shi Feng summoned a crimson steel warship that floated above the harbor, astonishing the assembled powers.

• Dark Sin Heart gathered Unfallen Light’s remaining ships and elite fighters while more than thirty major fleets assembled around Starfall Island.
• Bai Ye assessed Giant’s Heart’s overwhelming fleet and chose to wait for its rivals to clash rather than reveal the Sacred Law Hall’s support.

• Bai Ye said she would report the Red Dragon Airship to her superiors and predicted it would shake God's Domain.

• The major powers learned about the Red Dragon Airship and offered rewards for information about how Zero Wing had obtained it.
• Shi Feng piloted the Red Dragon Airship into the Chaos Sea, where Dark Sin Heart and the others experienced the oppressive effects of its chaotic energy.
