Chapter Summaries

Shi Feng and Bloodthirsty Charm followed a Dark Guard to a remote town owned by Dark Crow, where they saw the guild’s formidable forces. Blood Fang summoned Shi Feng alone, leaving Bloodthirsty Charm outside as Shi Feng entered the inn to meet the guild leader.

• A Dark Guard ordered Bloodthirsty Charm to accompany him while Qilin and the others returned to the guild.
• Bloodthirsty Charm told Shi Feng that he knew little about Dark Crow’s core and had only seen the guild’s Dark Guards twice before.
• The Dark Guard led Shi Feng and Bloodthirsty Charm through several teleports and hours of travel to a remote town in the Dawn Empire.
• Shi Feng discovered the town was captured and guarded by high-level NPCs, with several hundred unnervingly emotionless players inside.
• Three Dark Guards emerged from the inn and announced that Blood Fang would meet Shi Feng alone, ordering Bloodthirsty Charm to wait outside.

Shi Feng met Blood Fang in Dark Crow’s town in the Dawn Empire and learned why the Guild wanted Zero Wing to invest in rebuilding it. Blood Fang revealed the town sat atop a Source Iron Vein that also produced Magic Crystals, leaving Shi Feng interested but questioning why Dark Crow had approached Zero Wing instead of a Super Guild.

• Shi Feng met Blood Fang in the nearly empty inn and heard that Dark Crow had spent its savings acquiring the crude town.
• Blood Fang explained that the town had once been destroyed despite hiring guards, and asked Zero Wing to invest 100,000 Gold for a 20% share of its profits.
• Shi Feng rejected the offer, arguing that the investment was too large for such a small share of uncertain returns.
• Blood Fang revealed the town contained a Source Iron Vein that also yielded Magic Crystals, making it valuable to Zero Wing and the Candlelight Trading Firm.
• Shi Feng acknowledged the vein’s value and asked Blood Fang why he had chosen Zero Wing rather than a Super Guild.

Blood Fang offered Zero Wing a twenty-percent share of Dark Crow’s town profits in exchange for 100,000 gold, promising access to Magic Crystals and Source Iron Ore. Shi Feng rejected the investment and learned the town faced relentless monster attacks that would require costly defenses, then considered another solution.

• The chapter explained how gathering players earned money and how a Source Iron Vein could supply Dark Crow with ore and Magic Crystals.
• Blood Fang proposed that Zero Wing invest 100,000 gold in Dark Crow in return for twenty percent of the profits and access to its resources.
• Shi Feng refused, saying the investment was too large and too risky, and asked Blood Fang to change the terms of cooperation.
• Blood Fang refused to contribute manpower, explaining that the town needed NPC guards, defensive magic arrays, and cannon towers to survive monster attacks.
• Shi Feng inferred that monsters were threatening the town and calculated that its defensive structures would cost about 88,000 gold.
• Shi Feng recalled that major guilds had eventually found a way to defend such towns without paying exorbitant construction costs.

Shi Feng negotiated a deal in which Zero Wing would defend Dark Crow Guild’s town from each monster attack for six thousand Magic Crystals instead of buying a share of the mine. The contract was signed, and Shi Feng expected the Demon Repelling Scrolls Zero Wing would use to let monsters accumulate until the town faced overwhelming attacks.

• Blood Fang offered Zero Wing a stake in the town’s mine in exchange for up to one hundred thousand gold to fund its defenses.
• Shi Feng rejected the proposal and suggested that Zero Wing guard the town for 30% of the mine’s profits.
• Shi Feng offered to repel each monster attack for six thousand Magic Crystals, and Blood Fang accepted.
• Shi Feng and Blood Fang signed a contract requiring Dark Crow to pay in Magic Crystals and establish a Zero Wing Guild Residence in the town.
• Blood Fang warned that the next attack might come the following night, while Shi Feng assured him Zero Wing could handle it.
• Shi Feng knew Demon Repelling Scrolls would only drive monsters away, allowing them to accumulate into attacks that the town’s defenses could not withstand.

Shi Feng watched Blood Fang’s video of intelligent one-horned monsters that absorbed Immortal Souls and grew stronger by killing. He learned they were operating near Stone Forest Town, whose safety could be threatened if its NPC protection disappeared.

• Shi Feng refused to tell Blood Fang about the Demon-Repelling Scroll flaw and signed their contract.
• Blood Fang gave Shi Feng an encrypted video showing one-horned monsters slaughtering an elite team and collecting their dropped gear.
• Shi Feng recognized an Immortal Soul-absorbing magic pattern on a monster’s chest and judged the creatures’ combat skills to be exceptionally advanced.
• Blood Fang told Shi Feng that the monsters had been killing field Bosses and that a red-named Assassin who recorded them still could not log in after being killed.
• Blood Fang warned Shi Feng that the monsters were near Stone Forest Town and could threaten it if its NPC protection ended.

Shi Feng learned that horned monsters linked to the Evil God Temple were draining maps of life and growing stronger, then went to Star-Moon Royal City to investigate. Blood Fang withdrew Dark Crow from the Star-Moon Kingdom as the Blackwater Consortium prepared to enter, while Shi Feng headed to Grand Duke Hartfilo’s residence to pursue the monsters’ origins.

• Blood Fang showed Shi Feng pictures of horned monsters that had killed field Bosses and left nearby maps barren.
• Blood Fang ordered Dark Crow to leave the Star-Moon Kingdom after revealing that a Level 50 NPC town had become a monster nest and that the creatures were multiplying and growing stronger.
• Blood Fang warned that the Blackwater Consortium was preparing to act in the Star-Moon Kingdom, and Bloodthirsty Charm led Dark Crow members into the Black Dragon Empire.
• Shi Feng arrived in Star-Moon Royal City and went to Grand Duke Hartfilo’s residence to investigate the horned monsters.
• Shi Feng concluded that the horned monsters were connected to the Evil God Temple, a force devoted to destroying all life in God’s Domain.

Shi Feng reported the Evil God Temple’s presence in the Starry Forest to Grand Duke Hartfilo, who agreed to inform the king. Hartfilo revealed that the kingdom had already received intelligence about the heretics, and system notifications announced the start of a major event.

• Shi Feng met Grand Duke Hartfilo and Royal Guard Captain Ryan Rhett on the observation deck.
• Hartfilo praised Shi Feng for helping Xia Lian and agreed to pass his urgent report to the king.

• Hartfilo confirmed that Ryan Rhett’s intelligence had been correct and vowed to eradicate the heretics from the Star-Moon Kingdom.
• System notifications sounded, and a kingdom-wide announcement appeared.

Shi Feng triggered the Evil God's Calamity expansion and received a Tracking Crystal from Grand Duke Hartfilo to search for the legendary Necromancer Bane. Meanwhile, Blackwater Group pressured Bai Qingxue to surrender control of Snake of the Void, and the guild's investors revealed they had already agreed to join.

• Shi Feng triggered the epic quest to eradicate Evil God believers, activating the Undead Grand Canyon as a new Asura-level regional dungeon.
• Grand Duke Hartfilo suspected Bane was behind the Evil God believers and gave Shi Feng a Tracking Crystal to detect Evil God's Power.
• Shi Feng asked Water Rose to organize a search for the horned monsters, then left for Black Wing City.

• Bai Qingxue learned that Snake of the Void's investor representatives had agreed to join Blackwater Group because their companies faced financial pressure.

Bai Qingxue learned that Blackwater Consortium planned to take control of Snake of the Void and replace her as Guild Leader. Meanwhile, Shi Feng went to Black Wing City to buy Exorcism Scrolls and found members of the Sacred Law Hall waiting in the shop.

• Qi Yitao gave Bai Qingxue three days to accept Blackwater Consortium's terms before Snake of the Void's Guild Leader position was taken from her.
• Qi Yitao told his companions that the delay would weaken Snake of the Void's resistance and give Blackwater time to bring in more players.
• Qi Yitao said Young Master Jing had other arrangements for Zero Wing and learned that Blackwater's fighting experts were adapting to God's Domain.
• The turmoil in Snake of the Void left the guild unable to focus on the newly appeared Undead Grand Canyon regional dungeon.
• Shi Feng entered a Black Wing City Magic Shop to buy Exorcism Scrolls and recognized the waiting players as members of the Sacred Law Hall.

Shi Feng met Sacred Law Hall Vice Hall Master Xuan Jing at Connor Magic Shop, where she sold him four Exorcism Scrolls after acknowledging his past help to Yun Yinshan. Shi Feng then asked what Xuan Jing really wanted from him.

• Shi Feng entered Connor Magic Shop and found Xuan Jing and several Sacred Law Hall members there.
• Huan Ji recognized Shi Feng as Ye Feng, who had defeated Beichen Tianlang, and grew jealous of Xuan Jing's attention toward him.
• Xuan Jing thanked Shi Feng for lending Yun Yinshan Gold Coins before the Black Wing Auction House incident and offered to sell him rare scrolls.
• Shi Feng bought four Exorcism Scrolls from Xuan Jing for 20 Gold Coins.
• Shi Feng asked Xuan Jing to state the real reason she had approached him.

Xuan Jing revealed that Eternal Unrivaled had exposed Shi Feng’s Holy City slots to the super guilds and offered valuable assets for ten of them on the Sacred Law Hall’s behalf. Shi Feng said he would consult Guild Leader Black Flame, leaving the trade undecided as other super guilds began turning their attention toward Zero Wing.

• Xuan Jing told Shi Feng she wanted to buy Holy City slots, surprising him with her knowledge of them.
• Xuan Jing explained that Eternal Unrivaled had publicized Titan Holy City and Shi Feng’s slots, drawing the interest of several super guilds.
• Xuan Jing offered Epic items or prime land in major cities in exchange for ten slots.
• Shi Feng said many slots had already been used and that Black Flame would decide whether Zero Wing could trade any.
• Xuan Jing asked Shi Feng to relay the Sacred Law Hall’s offer to Black Flame.

Shi Feng arranged to farm the Undead Grand Canyon for resources and announced that Zero Wing would auction Holy City slots in seven days in exchange for prime city plots. After Xuan Jing left, he returned to White River City to examine the damaged Divine Crystal and the Holy Grail.

• Shi Feng told Fire Dance to send Zero Wing’s main force and Black God Legion to the Undead Grand Canyon to farm Magic Crystals and bring Durable Magic Armor and Magic Scrolls.
• Shi Feng told Xuan Jing that Zero Wing would hold an auction at Candlelight Trading Firm in seven days, requiring bidders to own a prime city plot and accept Holy City slots as payment.
• Huan Ji objected to Zero Wing’s terms, but Xuan Jing rebuked him and later told him to study the major guilds in God's Domain.
• Shi Feng returned to White River City and went to the bank warehouse to use the damaged Divine Crystal he had obtained from the entry trial.

Shi Feng bought rare herbs and ores at a steep discount, planning to stockpile ingredients for Ice Resistance and Fire Resistance Potions before White River City opened an airship route to the Eclipse Gate. In his private warehouse, the damaged Divine Crystal awakened in response to the Holy Grail and unleashed a divine might that immobilized him.

• Shi Feng found players selling rare materials and equipment cheaply outside the White River City bank warehouse and decided to buy the rare herbs and ores.
• Shi Feng ordered three thousand stacks of each listed material, agreed to wait while the seller gathered them, and signed a contract.
• Shi Feng entered his private warehouse with his bronze key and opened the safe holding the Holy Grail.
• The damaged Divine Crystal flew out of Shi Feng's bag, glowed with golden light, and released a divine might that left him unable to move.

Shi Feng discovered that the damaged Divine Crystal was a Titan Core and decided to keep it rather than let the Holy Grail absorb it. He then used the Holy Grail’s Power of Evolution on his Holy City Emblem, hoping to improve its entry privileges for Titan Holy City.

• The Holy Grail suppressed the Titan Core’s divine might, and Shi Feng identified the damaged Divine Crystal as a nearly inexhaustible power source for war fortresses.
• Shi Feng considered letting the Holy Grail absorb the Titan Core but chose to store it safely, hoping he could repair it in Titan Holy City.
• Shi Feng reviewed the different ranks of Titan Holy City entry permits and reasoned that the Holy City Emblem might also be improved.
• Shi Feng selected the Holy City Emblem as the target of the Holy Grail’s Power of Evolution.

Shi Feng evolved the Holy City Emblem, gaining longer access to Titan Holy City and doubling the number of people it could admit. Meanwhile, Bai Qingxue proposed a risky plan to keep Snake of the Void independent from the Blackwater Consortium.

• Shi Feng permanently sacrificed 1,000 HP to evolve the Holy City Emblem.
• The emblem turned pale gold and gained the ability to admit twenty people to Titan Holy City, while letting its holder stay two extra days per visit.
• Zhao Yueru urged the corporate representatives among Snake of the Void's elders not to side with the Blackwater Consortium.
• Bai Qingxue proposed using the guild's stockpiled materials and her own funds to withstand Blackwater's pressure while Snake of the Void captured towns to fund independent operations.

The chapter left him ordering his people to stop the materials from being sold before the takeover.

• Bai Qingxue proposed using the Snake of the Void’s accumulated materials to raise funds for the corporations supporting the guild.
• The corporate representatives agreed to contact their higher-ups about taking the financial risk, and then logged out.
• Mortal Dust told Qi Yitao that the new recruits sent by Young Master Jing were rapidly improving in the Trial Tower.
• Qi Yitao explained that the Blackwater Consortium could train combat experts more easily than rival groups because of its real-world fighting resources.
• A bald, burly man told Qi Yitao that Bai Qingxue planned to sell guild materials and that a buyer wanted the Snake of the Void’s rare herbs and ores.
• Qi Yitao ordered the man to alert Gale and the others and warn the buyer not to purchase the materials before he took over the Snake of the Void.

Bai Qingxue learned that Snake of the Void’s corporate investors had sided with the Blackwater Consortium and planned to replace her, so she prepared to leave with the God-Slaying Army and establish a new Guild. At White River City’s bank warehouse, she arrived to meet the buyer of Snake of the Void’s materials and found Shi Feng, just as Blackwater members surrounded him.

• Fierce Snake told Bai Qingxue that a buyer had offered to purchase Snake of the Void’s rare materials and that Attribute Gem sales were bringing in funds.

• Bai Qingxue went to White River City’s bank warehouse to meet the buyer and was surprised by the city’s advanced players and busy streets.
• Shi Feng recognized Bai Qingxue as she approached, but Gale Soulbreaker and five other Blackwater members surrounded him and asked her to wait.
