As they reached the top of the stairs, news arrived that Blackwater Guild had formed from several guild mergers and allied with Heavenly Burial to wage war on Zero Wing.

• Snake of the Void disbanded, and its members joined the newly established Blackwater Guild alongside several other guilds; Blackwater allied with Heavenly Burial and launched an all-out war against Zero Wing.

Blackwater and Heavenly Burial seized control of Star-Moon Royal City and threatened Zero Wing’s territory and Candlelight Trading Firm with aggressive expansion and new products. Shi Feng learned that their Steel-Forged Armor Plates and Mana Elixirs were being sold at surprisingly low prices, leaving him to consider the challenge.

• Shi Feng was surprised by the low prices and recognized the items as products that Heavenly Burial had used to rise to power in his previous life.

Shi Feng told Water Rose to match the rivals’ prices on most goods and refused to offer corporate investors guarantees before they signed Zero Wing’s cooperation agreement. Water Rose rejected their demand for 60% of Zero Wing’s shares, leaving the executives convinced the guild would eventually return to them for help.

Qi Yitao planned to undermine Zero Wing while strengthening Blackwater’s market position. In God’s Trial, Shi Feng’s group faced a powerful Undead Commander guarding a seven-colored treasure chest and prepared to test it with a summoned creature.

• Blackwater members praised the consortium’s experts as Qi Yitao heard that Zero Wing had matched Blackwater’s prices and planned to drain its funds.

• Shi Feng and his companions encountered a Level 50 Great Lord Undead Commander whose Frigid Domain weakened them as it guarded the seven-colored chest.
• Yan Qiu proposed using Tier 2 Summoning Scrolls, and Duo Tianfeng decided to send a summoned creature to test the Undead Commander first.

• Shi Feng showed the group the Rainbow Fruit, whose permanent increases to all four hidden attributes amazed them, then put it away for later.
• Shi Feng set aside his locked Epic treasure chest and Dark Gold Grade Mastery Book, then chose to learn Frigid Domain for its immediate combat power.
