Ye Ting defeated Gaia’s Heroic Spirit champions and rewrote the laws governing Earth, sending True Ether into the Inner Sea of Stars and replacing it with ether. The change ended the surface’s Age of Gods, forced Phantasmal Species and mages to adapt or flee, and left Qin reorganizing its technologies and schools of magic.

• Ye Ting dismantled Longinus into three spears, then sent Nike to anchor Rhongomyniad in the British Isles and Jing Ke to place Ame-no-Nuboko in Japan.
• Ye Ting activated the Third and First Magics to connect Earth and the Inner Sea of Stars and rewrite their laws, prompting Gaia to send an army against him.
• Ye Ting’s allies fought Gaia’s forces and four summoned Heroic Spirits, giving Ye Ting time to study their connection to the Throne of Heroes and grant Heroic Spirit power to Nitocris, Medea, Atalanta, Attila, Hippolyta, and Penthesilea.
• Nitocris defeated Ozymandias by summoning her Eternal Sun Empire and overcoming his divine power, while Attila and the others defeated Karna, Romulus-Quirinus, and Gilgamesh.
• Ye Ting completed his new laws, causing True Ether to flow into the Inner Sea of Stars and ether to return to Earth, whereupon Gaia agreed to limit the harm to the planet.
• Phantasmal Species and surviving minor pantheons migrated toward the British Isles and Japan, while some creatures adapted to Aether and became known as yokai.
• Qin kept operating with its Immortal Magic Furnaces and Immortal Crystal Soul Engines, while Circe moved Mystra Academy’s magic-focused branch to the Inner Sea of Stars and Daedalus led the alchemy and programming faction to Atlas Mountain.

Ye Ting bound Alaya and reshaped Qin’s future, then traveled to Draenor and guided Yrel through her first arena battles. Yrel’s challenge against Kargath ended with her invoking Divine Shield.

• Ye Ting connected with Alaya in C's World, bound her with Akasha's Chains, and used her power to make Qin’s people obedient.
• After Qin’s growth stalled, Ye Ting eased his control and gave Alaya Earth to guide, then destroyed most of Qin’s abandoned civilization there and rebuilt the world as a setting for new heroic legends.
• Ye Ting traveled to Azeroth, rescued Yrel from a dungeon, and became her mentor in the Holy Light and Shadow.
• Yrel accepted an offer to fight in the arena and killed Dreadhoof, earning improved conditions and attracting the attention of the Orc leaders.
• After Gul'dan began the Orcs’ fel corruption, Yrel defeated Gagoma and another corrupted Orc, then challenged Kargath.
• Kargath overwhelmed Yrel with a barrage of blade attacks, wounded her, and knocked away her shield before she activated Divine Shield and forced him back.

Yrel escaped Highmaul with a band of gladiators, discovered the truth about Oshu'gun, and embraced a balance of Holy Light and Shadow. As the Horde prepared to attack Shattrath, she took command of the Draenei evacuation and planned to turn D'ore's shadow power against the Orcs.

• Yrel killed Kargath and led the gladiators’ escape from Highmaul, then sent them toward home while she returned to Shattrath with the Draenei.
• At Oshu'gun, Yrel learned K'ure’s history and used Ye Ting’s teachings to bring the Holy Light and Shadow within her into balance.
• Yrel taught the Draenei the Path of Balance, gained her first followers, and returned with them to Shattrath to warn Velen and the bishops about the Horde and the Burning Legion.
• When Velen rejected Ye Ting’s plan to use D'ore’s remains against the Horde, Yrel challenged the council and demonstrated how Holy Light and Shadow could work together.
• Velen appointed Yrel to command the Sha'tar, the Auchenai, and other forces, and ordered her to evacuate Shattrath’s civilians to Auchindoun.
• Yrel gathered support among the refugees and Exarchs, reunited with her sister Samara, and led the civilians safely to Auchindoun.
• Ye Ting and Yrel subdued D'ore’s shadow energy, weakening the False Shadowlands as they prepared to use the second Dark Star against the Horde.
• Kil'jaeden appeared before Blackhand and the Orcs, promising to join their assault on the Draenei.

Yrel and Ye Ting transformed Draenei faith, technology, and military power, enabling them to defeat the Horde’s assault on Shattrath and unite the Draenei under Yrel. The arc ended with the Draenei preparing for the Horde’s return while the Burning Legion remained a threat.

• Ye Ting overhauled Draenei production with advanced Arkenite Crystals as Yrel’s Grievance Assembly turned the Draenei against appeasement and toward the Path of Balance.
• Ye Ting materialized K'ara’s soul and helped her balance Light and Shadow, restoring her as a Naaru who linked the Draenei through mental connections.
• Kil'jaeden and Gul'dan broke Shattrath’s defenses, but Yrel’s super soldiers and reinforcements from Auchindoun drove the Orcs from the city.
• Velen visited Auchindoun, met the resurrected K'ara, and saw the city’s new technology and balanced faith before handing governing authority to Yrel.
• Yrel became High Exarch, with Velen as her adviser, and K'ara and Yrel promoted the Path of Balance to Draenei from Shattrath and Auchindoun.
• After the Horde turned toward Draenor’s weaker races, Ye Ting and Yrel avoided a direct clash and connected Shattrath to Auchindoun with crystal warp technology.
• The Draenei reorganized their defenses, trained Shattrath’s forces, and prepared their modern army for the Horde’s expected return.
