Chapter Summaries

Over five months, Great Qin expanded its territory and military power while Zhao Fu waited for nearby cities and the Yue Kingdom to weaken. A notice then announced that the human world and Fish Scale World had connected, beginning the Race Invasion stage.

• Great Qin became a Level Three capital city and grew to control 108 regions, with a population exceeding 420 million and an army of 50 million.
• Fifty-two system main cities voluntarily joined Great Qin, while Zhao Fu sent five teams to clear fifteen newly exposed regions.
• Zhao Fu maintained Great Qin's defenses against the Yue Kingdom and waited for the Viet Guard and worsening conditions to create an opportunity.
• Shaluo's mother urged Zhao Fu to consider Shaluo's younger sister, a skilled archer with Peacock Royal Blood, as a successor for Peacock City.
• A notice announced that the barrier between the human world and Fish Scale World had been damaged, triggering Race Invasion and updating the Turbulent Times Stele's exchange items.

Zhao Fu and the human inheritors investigated a massive rift linking the Southern Continent to the Fish Scale World and prepared for a possible invasion by the Fish Scale Clan. The Fish Scale Clan’s inheritors appeared across the sea, and both worlds began discussing how to act.

• Zhao Fu rushed to the Southern Continent after receiving a notification of a racial invasion and found a vast rift connecting it to a world of seas and blue skies.
• Akhenaten, Arthur Tina, Geluofei, and the other human inheritors gathered at the rift and saw Fish Scale Clan figures with powerful auras appear across the water.
• Arthur Tina urged the Southern Continent to build defenses and prepare for war, while the other inheritors promised varying levels of support.
• Zhao Fu pledged Great Qin’s help, urged the human world to unite, and proposed attacking the Fish Scale World to gain providence.
• An ugly, burly man in the Fish Scale World argued that an immediate invasion would bring great gains because the human clans were unprepared.

After the Fish Scale Clan decided to prepare for a large-scale war against humanity, Zhao Fu and Great Qin began mobilizing for the coming conflict. The human world split over whether to fight, and Zhao Fu found enticing rewards on Great Qin’s Level 8 Turbulent Times Stele before heading alone to the Southern Continent.

• The Fish Scale Clan members withdrew to prepare an underwater ambush against humans, while Zhao Fu and the other inheritors left; a little boy with a golden dragon tail fled with the seven-colored fragment.
• News of the conflict spread through both worlds, and people in the human world divided between those calling for peace and those gathering to defend against invasion.
• Zhao Fu returned to Great Qin and, after discussing the threat with his generals, ordered the empire to mobilize resources and prepare for war.
• Zhao Fu examined the updated Level 8 Turbulent Times Stele and found valuable items, including a Heavy City Upgrade Stone, a Dragon-Shooting Ballista blueprint, and a Ten Thousand Blood Divine Stone.
• After Great Qin finished preparing to depart, Zhao Fu set out alone for the Southern Continent.

Zhao Fu investigated the Fish Scale World and helped prepare a human force for a possible invasion, but the Fish Scale Clan did not attack and the alliance gradually dispersed. He returned to Great Qin with his troops, still unsure why the Fish Scale Clan had remained inactive.

• Zhao Fu entered the Fish Scale World alone and discovered that its people used reefs and underwater mountains for cover, making an attack difficult without underwater breathing and combat preparations.
• Zhao Fu had Bai Shan's people manufacture Water Spirit Pearls and prepared ships as the human forces gathered at the Southern Continent's border.
• Three hundred million people assembled, and the Southern Continent leaders chose Akhenaten as alliance commander while Zhao Fu and the other outsiders were pushed aside.
• After the Fish Scale Clan showed no sign of attacking for more than a month, many people criticized Zhao Fu and the other inheritors, and most of the assembled forces left.
• Zhao Fu returned to Great Qin with his troops, wondering why the Fish Scale Clan had not invaded despite the malice he had sensed from their world.

After public criticism and the fading fear of an invasion, Zhao Fu continued preparing Great Qin for a possible war with the Fish Scale Clan. He developed large-scale countermeasures and refined gathered poisons in the Myriad Poisons Divine Cauldron.

• Pacifists demanded that the inheritors apologize for mobilizing against the Fish Scale Clan, prompting Aoglie to withdraw from the matter while Geluofei kept explaining and Arthur Tina prepared for war.
• Zhao Fu stopped engaging with the public debate, researched weapons against the Fish Scale Clan, and trained Great Qin's soldiers for underwater combat.
• More than two months passed without an invasion, while Great Qin expanded to 123 regions and twenty-one system main cities joined it amid worsening famine and unrest.
• Zhao Fu decided Great Qin would attack the Fish Scale Clan even if they did not invade, and he planned to use reinforced nets, poison, and underwater mines against them.
• Zhao Fu poured vast quantities of poison into the Myriad Poisons Divine Cauldron, refining them into several exceptionally toxic drops.

Zhao Fu prepared Destruction Crystals for Great Qin while postponing an attack until after the New Year. At the Southern Continent’s border, a vast sea-beast force invaded, destroyed the defensive wall, and killed all three million soldiers guarding it.

• Zhao Fu had Binuoxiu and Kelahe seal their combined forbidden spell into high-purity crystals, producing seventy-five Destruction Crystals over a month.

• The sea beasts swept across the defensive wall, collapsing it and killing all three million soldiers as the invasion began.

Akhenaten called for aid as a sea beast tide devastated the Southern Continent, while Zhao Fu ignored calls to stay out of the crisis and helped devise a way to divide the beasts. The Southern Continent began building V-shaped barriers, but the tide continued ravaging regions as the story left the defenses still under construction.

• Akhenaten appealed for help against tens of millions of sea beasts, and system city lords and players began cooperating.
• Pacifists blamed the inheritors and Defenders for provoking the invasion, prompting Aoglie to refuse help and others to condemn the pacifists until they fell silent.
• Zhao Fu rushed to aid the Southern Continent because the disaster threatened Great Qin, then told Akhenaten and the other inheritors that they needed to split the beast tide before attacking it.
• Zhao Fu proposed using V-shaped barriers of mountains, stones, and logs to divide the sea beasts, and Akhenaten mobilized the Southern Continent's people and resources.
• As three thousand regions worked to build the barriers, the sea beasts swept through more than a hundred additional regions and caused over six hundred million people to suffer before finally slowing down.

Zhao Fu fought a herd of more than ten thousand sea beasts, cutting down hundreds and then over a thousand before a powerful three-headed snake attacked him. As Zhao Fu faced the Sea Beast King, the Fish Scale Clan launched its true invasion and extermination plan.

After sealing the eight Sea Beast Kings, Zhao Fu discovered that the Fish Scale Clan was flooding the human world with seawater as an extermination plan. He and the others reached the rift but found a billion Fish Scale Clan members defending the magic formations, while the Earth Realm Mark still could not grant Zhao Fu the power to stop them.

• Zhao Fu celebrated gaining enough invasion points to reach halfway toward exchanging for a capital city, though Great Qin had lost half its fortune.
• Zhao Fu met Si Ji and three others, did not blame them for failing to help him, and decided he would not help them if they were in danger again.

Humanity united to build defenses and coordinate forces, but more than four hundred regions were submerged as the Fish Scale Clan began infiltrating the flooded territory.

• Fish Scale Clan members dismissed Zhao Fu’s group and discussed their plans to conquer the human world and exploit its people.
• Akhenaten, Arthur Tina, Zhen Yi, Geluofei, and Si Ji agreed they could not break the barrier, called for dikes to hold back the seawater, and urged the entire human world to respond.
• Zhao Fu tried the Earth Realm Mark but could not draw on the world’s power, leaving the group without a way to destroy the barrier.

• Zhao Fu accepted an invitation to the Southern Alliance's council meeting, where the leaders waited for him and discussed his feat of sealing eight Sea Beast Kings.
