• Lynn recorded the coordinate as a primitive civilization plane and directed Spirit Eye Wizard toward another unknown space.

Lynn discovered a resource plane on the verge of advancing to a civilization plane, recognized its potential as a Level 4 opportunity, and began a cautious infiltration. In the plane, Viscount Rayton awoke terrified and found an old pocket watch that began moving when he addressed his grandfather.

Lynn used the Gate of Stars to reach Viscount Rayton, a Black Iron Third Stage alchemist facing death after his former teacher framed him for murdering a Gold Throne. He guided Rayton to his laboratory and pointed the pocket watch toward Rayton’s life-bound violet totem, where Rayton noticed something unexpected.

• Rayton examined the violet as the pocket watch indicated, then froze when he noticed something about it.

Lynn guided Viscount Rayton toward the violet totem’s Brass sublimation, and Rayton later became a Brass Alchemist. After a month, Lynn reconnected through the Gate of Stars and found Rayton ready to communicate, while a mysterious mission he issued stirred the Hall of Life.

• Lynn used the pocket watch to show Viscount Rayton the route to sublimate his violet totem, and Rayton realized how to advance to Brass.

Rayton confronted his former mentor Klaus, who invited him to join a faction seeking to overthrow the Golden Thrones, but Rayton summoned the Feathered Serpent Society’s pursuers instead. Klaus disabled Rayton’s Violet King Totem and killed him, after which Lynn emerged from the pocket watch and entered Rayton’s spiritual domain to take control of his body.

• Rayton traveled to Klaus’s forest clearing after sending a carrier pigeon to alert the Feathered Serpent Society’s pursuers.

After taking over Viscount Rayton’s body, Lynn used the Violet King to recover, deduced that Klaus had become a Silver alchemist through the mysterious organization, and returned to Rayton’s laboratory to refine more than a dozen auxiliary totems. Meanwhile, Klaus escaped the Feathered Serpent Society and led two youths into a secret valley to meet the Creator of the new world, while ordering someone to kill Rayton.

• Lynn postponed sending Wizard Apprentices through the Gate of Stars and transmitted his Silver Totem analysis and a method to remove Klaus’s spiritual imprint to his avatar.

After witnessing its devastating Earth Roar, Evelyn and Lynn waited for the opening that would let them breach the barrier.

• Evelyn ordered the army to march on the ruined royal capital, while Count Weir reported that the other provinces could not send troops.

• After the Earth Roar ended, the Earth Dragon Emperor’s power subsided, leaving Evelyn and Lynn ready to exploit the gap in its defenses.

Evelyn, Lynn, and the army entered the ruined royal capital, where Klaus was using a blood-red tree to drain two Feathered Serpent descendants. Evelyn confronted him after recognizing the tree and the captives’ bloodline, and the chapter ended as Klaus identified her power as belonging to the Feathered Serpent Throne.

Karen sent a flood of people and supplies to the Emerald Orchid Principality as an open scheme to draw the Creation Society’s attention and weaken Evelyn and Lynn. Lynn identified Polina as a likely Creation Society infiltrator and told Quentin to keep close to her, but Polina began considering Quentin a potential recruit.

• Karen used his role as alliance coordinator to send alchemists, civilians, and supplies to the Emerald Orchid Principality, forcing Evelyn to accept the aid despite recognizing its danger.
