Ma Huainan led his fifty-billion-strong army into a final defense of his ruined Divine Kingdom, only for Yang Shi to reveal an enormous force of intelligent-weapon zombies. As the bombardment battered Ma Huainan’s followers, he struggled to believe the scale of his opponent’s arsenal and urged his army to hold the line.

• Ma Huainan wondered why his opponent had destroyed most of his Divine Kingdom and demanded to know whether Yang Fan had sent the attacker, but received no answer.
• Ma Huainan rallied his fifty-billion-strong army for a final battle to defend the Divine Kingdom Core.
• Yang Shi ordered ten billion Zombie Generals and five billion Zombie Kings to attack with their intelligent weapons at full power.
• The zombie army unleashed successive energy-cannon volleys that battered Ma Huainan’s forces across the battlefield.
• Ma Huainan was stunned by the billions of intelligent weapons and urged his followers to endure the bombardment until the enemy’s firepower weakened.

Yang Fan’s forces continued bombarding Ma Huainan’s army, but Ma Huainan deployed two S-Class [Immortal War-Spirit Steles] to restore his believers’ strength and drive their advance toward Yang Shi’s zombie army. Confident that his rare war buildings could turn the battle around, Ma Huainan prepared to challenge Yang Fan’s overwhelming firepower.

• Yang Fan ordered Yang Yi to send war supplies to the front and bring the remaining [Flesh Calamity Broodmothers] into the battle.
• Ma Huainan realized the intelligent weapons had not run out of energy and learned from his Artificial Lifeform that Yang Fan had concealed their endurance.
• Ma Huainan deployed two [Immortal War-Spirit Steles], strengthening his believers and stabilizing their blood-red formation.
• Ma Huainan’s army resumed its advance through the energy-cannon barrage, and he boasted that the Sima Family’s investment had given him war buildings Yang Fan could not simply buy.

Ma Huainan’s army charged at Yang Fan’s forces, but Yang Shi deployed twenty Flesh Calamity Broodmothers that filled the battlefield with poisonous, corrosive rivers. Ma Huainan’s believers tried to cross by forming a human bridge, and despite heavy losses, a Martial King rallied them to keep advancing.

• Ma Huainan planned to seize and sell the enemy’s weapons after winning, while Yang Shi dismissed his two Immortal War-Spirit Steles as unimpressive.
• Yang Shi ordered the White Jiangshi Commander to deploy twenty Flesh Calamity Broodmothers, which released poison and corrosive liquid to divide the armies.
• Ma Huainan learned that the broodmothers were S-class war buildings and ordered his believers to charge through them at any cost.
• Ma Huainan’s believers entered the Poison River, where their protective gear corroded and exposed soldiers began turning into zombies.
• A Martial Master officer killed a zombifying believer and ordered protected soldiers to lie in the river as a human bridge, but an energy cannon blast killed him and scattered venom among the troops.
• A Martial King believer steadied the disrupted formation and urged the army to keep charging for their Divine Kingdom and god.

Ma Huainan's followers crossed the poisonous river and attacked Yang Shi's Flesh Calamity Broodmothers, but their defenses and rapid healing made the assault costly. As Ma Huainan feared his formation would fail, Yang Shi ordered the Suicide Squad Plan while Ma Huainan resolved not to surrender his Divine Kingdom coordinates to the Sima Family.

• Ma Huainan's followers crossed the corrosive river despite heavy casualties and attacked the twenty Flesh Calamity Broodmothers with their formation.
• The Broodmothers healed from the attacks and released Poison Gas, which Ma Huainan's followers suppressed using costly antidote potions.
• Yang Shi ordered No. 2 to execute the Suicide Squad Plan, and zombie generals equipped with Fourth-Tier Intelligent Weapons took black iron balls toward the front line.
• Ma Huainan watched the Broodmothers withstand the assault and worried that his formation would eventually collapse.
• Ma Huainan decided he must avoid revealing his Divine Kingdom coordinates to the Sima Family until the last possible moment.

Ma Huainan’s army was devastated by zombie suicide attacks using corpse-poison-coated Micro-Nuclear Bombs, which also turned survivors into zombies and plunged the battlefield into chaos. Yang Fan learned that Yang Shi had devised the tactic, and the war continued in a brutal turn.

• A blast erupted inside Ma Huainan’s formation, and Zombie Kings used their Fourth-Tier Intelligent Weapons to hurl Zombie Generals carrying Micro-Nuclear Bombs into the Human Race army.
• The bombs shattered the Poison River and killed tens of thousands of believers, while the Artificial Lifeform warned Ma Huainan that the attackers were using suicide strikes.
• Ma Huainan discovered that corpse poison from the explosions was infecting survivors and corroding his Advanced Protective Gear, then laughed in admiration of the enemy’s ruthless tactics.
• More Zombie Generals detonated their bombs across the battlefield, and poisoned survivors, including Martial Master-level fighters, gradually turned into zombies and attacked their former comrades.
• Yang Fan asked whether Yang Shi had devised the tactic, and Yang Da explained that it was inspired by a Black Armored Beetle Clan demigod and enabled by the war supplies Yang Fan had purchased.
• Yang Fan frowned slightly when Yang Da called the trained attackers a Suicide Squad.

Yang Fan approved the Suicide Squad’s use of intelligent zombie generals and watched as its attacks shattered Ma Huainan’s army and the Immortal War-Spirit Stele formation. Ma Huainan admitted defeat and withdrew his consciousness, vowing to destroy Yang Fan’s Divine Kingdom one day.

• Yang Da explained that the Suicide Squad was isolated, ideologically educated, and barred from further cultivation once its members became zombie generals, and Yang Fan ordered a reward for Yang Shi.
• More Suicide Squad members attacked Ma Huainan’s army with Micro-Nuclear Bombs, breaking the Immortal War-Spirit Stele formation.
• Yang Fan’s intelligent weapons devastated the exposed human army, while ordinary zombies emerged from the Ten-Thousand Corpse War Tomb and infected wounded believers.
• Ma Huainan realized his fifty-billion-strong army was lost and his remaining believers could not defend the Divine Kingdom Core region.
• Ma Huainan withdrew his consciousness from the Divine Kingdom after swearing that he would one day destroy Yang Fan’s Divine Kingdom.

Ma Huainan summoned federal reinforcements to defend his Divine Kingdom against Yang Fan, and five Third-Order Gods arrived with a massive human army. Weng Chonghe urged Yang Fan to withdraw, while Yang Da explained that the federal team hoped to end its mission without fighting.

• Ma Huainan disclosed his Divine Kingdom Coordinates to the Sima Family and contacted the Federation's Supreme Artificial Lifeform, One, for emergency support.
• A hundred-billion-strong human army and five Third-Order Gods arrived in Ma Huainan's Divine Kingdom, where Ma Huainan returned and thanked the reinforcements.
• The Mechanical God Weng Chonghe discovered that Yang Fan's zombie army belonged to the human race and told him that federal law required protection of Peerless Monster-level geniuses.
• Yang Da explained that the federal team was trying to persuade Yang Fan to withdraw so it could complete its mission without fighting, and Yang Fan called their conduct slacking off on the job.

Yang Fan revealed that his Zombie Kingdom had grown to a hundred-billion-strong army, alarming the Federal Government’s five Third-Order Gods sent to protect Ma Huainan. As the reinforcements weighed the enemy’s overwhelming strength, Weng Chonghe suggested they might be unable to help, leaving Ma Huainan stunned.

• Yang Fan ordered Yang Da to tell Yang Shi that reinforcements had arrived and to use the S-Rank War Weapons and disposable supplies.
• Yang Fan's Zombie Army marched to the front lines of Ma Huainan's Divine Kingdom, matching the human army at a hundred billion troops.
• Weng Chonghe saw the vast Zombie Army and Ten-Thousand Corpse War Tombs and declared that the sides would have to settle the matter through battle.
• A Federal Government god reported that the enemy had more than a hundred million Rank A War Structures and twenty S-Rank War Structures, and worried that the reinforcements would take a loss.
• Ma Huainan realized Yang Fan had held back during their previous battle and regretted not making his coordinates public sooner.
• Weng Chonghe told Ma Huainan that the invader might be too powerful for them to defeat, leaving Ma Huainan shocked.

Ma Huainan agreed to pay Weng Chonghe and his four brothers twenty million military merit each to defend his Divine Kingdom. As the armies clashed, the defenders discovered the opposing Corpse-Cultivating God commanded tens of billions of intelligent weapons, and their formation began to fail under the bombardment.

• Weng Chonghe demanded twenty million military merit from Ma Huainan for each of the five brothers, and Ma Huainan accepted.
• Ma Huainan reflected bitterly that the people who had once surrounded him had valued his status and potential for profit.
• Weng Chonghe declared that the five brothers would drive the invader from Ma Huainan's Divine Kingdom and ordered his army forward.
• Vast numbers of high-end zombie followers emerged from the Ten-Thousand Corpse War Tomb and attacked with intelligent weapons.
• Weng Chonghe suspected a Mechanical God was backing the Corpse-Cultivating God as the barrage battered the Human Race army's defensive formation.
• An energy cannon blast breached the formation and killed tens of thousands of followers.

Yang Shi’s army endured the Cultivation Believers’ counterattack by deploying the Flesh Calamity Broodmothers in their defensive forms. Their regeneration and area defenses blocked nearly ninety percent of the enemy’s attacks, leaving Weng Chonghe stunned.

• Weng Chonghe ordered his brothers to counterattack with the Immortal-Slaying Pagodas after the opening barrage devastated the Grand Array’s forces.
• Yang Shi activated the Flesh Calamity Broodmothers’ second-stage defensive mode, and twenty transformed giants withstood the pagodas’ flames and sword qi.
• Weng Chonghe ordered the Cultivation Believers and mechanical believers to combine formation-powered Spellcraft with cannon fire while the intelligent weapons recharged.
• Yang Shi deployed every Flesh Calamity Broodmother and ordered his troops to shelter beneath the Ten-Thousand Corpse War Tombs if attacks slipped through.
• More than three hundred Flesh Calamity Broodmothers blocked nearly ninety percent of the incoming attacks, leaving Weng Chonghe stunned.

Weng Chonghe’s forces suffered devastating losses against Yang Fan’s army of S-Class War Buildings, forcing Ma Huainan to seek reinforcements from the Sima Family and the Federation. The Federation’s Supreme Artificial Lifeform, “One,” began investigating the great families’ transaction records, but the Han, Gu, Lu, and Qin Families refused to cooperate.

• Weng Chonghe watched a second cannon volley crack the Grand Array and kill vast numbers of believers and artificial lifeforms.
• Weng Chonghe ordered Ma Huainan to return to the Real World and ask the Sima Family for reinforcements, and Ma sent battlefield footage and combat data to the Sima Family and “One.”
• Weng Chonghe and his four companions kept changing battle plans to buy time as their losses neared ten billion believers.
• Weng Chonghe uploaded battlefield recordings to “One” and hoped it would identify their opponent’s background.
• A ninth-order artificial lifeform arrived at the Han Family grounds under orders from “One” to investigate transactions involving S-Class War Buildings, the Flesh Calamity Broodmother, and Ten-Thousand Corpse War Tombs.
• The Han Family’s legal artificial lifeform refused the investigation, and similar refusals followed at the Gu, Lu, and Qin Families.

The Qin and Gu Families responded to the investigation into the attack on Ma Huainan, while Gu Xuanting and Lu Qinglan considered how the Federation’s Supreme Artificial Lifeform might trace the Corpse-Cultivating army. At the Lu Family’s ancestral grounds, “One” began examining restricted transaction records, with a High-Tier Mechanical God overseeing the search.

• The Qin Family said its review of the attack would require approval from the council of elders and could take around twenty years, while a robot reported that the Gu Family had only a few internal-research war structure purchases.
• Gu Xuanting and Lu Qinglan watched footage of the battlefield and realized Yang Fan had likely supplied the Corpse-Cultivating God with more than two hundred million Ten-Thousand Corpse War Tombs.
• Gu Xuanting predicted that “One” would investigate the Lu Family, but believed Lu Yanran had arranged matters carefully enough to prevent the investigation from uncovering anything.
• Gu Xuanting asked Lu Qinglan to ensure Gu Le and the others cleaned up after their actions, and Lu Qinglan complained that Gu Le had not told her about the plan.
• The Lu Family allowed “One” to inspect records related to Flesh Calamity Broodmothers and Ten-Thousand Corpse War Tombs, but refused access to other data and rejected an unsupported search of Lu Mingshi’s Divine Kingdom.
• “One” entered the Lu Family’s transaction database, where a High-Tier Mechanical God arrived as the investigation began.

One reviewed the Lu Family’s transaction records but could not compel them to restrain Lu Mingshi without evidence. Lu Mingshi remained bewildered as his parents mistook his protests for an attempt to hide his involvement, then praised his potential as a High-Tier God.

• The Lu Family’s High-Tier Mechanical God showed One the relevant transaction records and refused to restrict Lu Mingshi without conclusive evidence.
• One agreed with the Lu Family’s defense of individual rights, and its robot body shattered as its consciousness departed.
• Lu Mingshi complained that someone had impersonated him and asked his parents whether he had to cooperate with the investigation.
• Lu Mingshi’s mother said the family had turned away the investigation and urged him to manage business risks, while his father accused him of hiding what he had done.
• Lu Mingshi’s father praised his performance in the Divine Kingdom War and said he had the potential to become a High-Tier God.
• After his parents left, Lu Mingshi shouted, asking who had done this.

Ma Huainan’s parents concluded that their son had secretly amassed the reserves needed to field the hundreds of S-Class War Buildings, while the Federation’s One urged the Sima Family to send aid. Ma Huainan began to suspect a rival Great Family was behind the attack, and Sima Yurou received a call as she managed her Divine Kingdom.

• Ma Huainan’s parents praised their son’s hidden strength and decided to transfer him their shares in a Primordial City startup.
• One told the Sima Family he could not investigate further and urged them to send gods to defend Ma Huainan’s Divine Kingdom.
• The Sima Family’s artificial lifeform confirmed that its support force was ready to depart.
• Ma Huainan asked One for news and, after hearing help was coming, returned to his Divine Kingdom with renewed hope.
• Ma Huainan wondered whether one of the other four Great Families was targeting the Sima Family and had chosen him as a means to attack it.
• Sima Yurou redirected resources toward cultivating believers, then received an incoming call on her smartwatch.

Sima Yurou learned that her ex-husband, Ma Huainan, had been implicated in an attack connected to Yang Fan, while Sima Zhao arranged for her company to supply the Sima Family’s rescue force. As the Sima Family took over Ma Huainan’s battlefield, its Third-Order God Sima Jin asked Young Master Lu to accept compensation and end the dispute.

• Sima Zhao told Sima Yurou that the Sima Family needed her single-use war supplies after Ma Huainan’s Divine Kingdom was invaded, and revealed that the family suspected the attack was connected to Ma Huainan’s investigation of Yang Fan.
• Sima Yurou watched the battlefield footage and learned that the Sima Family believed Lu Yanran and Lu Mingshi were behind the assault, then agreed to transfer her supplies to Sima Zhao.
• Five hundred billion Sima Family reinforcements poured into Ma Huainan’s Divine Kingdom, and Weng Chonghe withdrew his Federal Government troops while deciding to stay and conduct guerrilla attacks for Ma Huainan’s promised military merit.
• Ten gods’ consciousnesses arrived, and Sima Jin apologized for Ma Huainan’s investigation and offered Yang Fan compensation in hopes of settling the matter with Young Master Lu.

Yang Fan let the Sima Family mistake him for Lu Mingshi and reject their attempt to negotiate, then ordered an assault on their army. His Suicide Squad began destroying the Sima Family’s War Weapons with Micro-Nuclear Bombs, weakening their barrier as both sides fought to stop the attackers.

• Sima Jin mistook Yang Fan for Lu Mingshi and offered him one hundred S-class resource buildings to negotiate, while Ma Huainan realized the Sima Family feared crossing him.
• Yang Fan welcomed the mistaken identity, while the real Lu Mingshi was refused payment by his mother after filling his shopping cart with resources.
• Yang Fan ordered Yang Shi to attack, and Sima Jin formed a pale blue barrier and declared that the Sima Family would fight rather than yield.
• Yang Shi sent Zombie Generals from the Suicide Squad to destroy the Sima Family’s War Weapons with Micro-Nuclear Bombs, causing the barrier to dim.
• Sima Jin ordered his front lines to intercept the Zombie Generals, but the attackers detonated their bombs among the human troops and continued their assault.

Yang Fan and Yang Shi sustained a costly war of attrition against the Sima Family, flooding Ma Huainan’s Divine Kingdom with zombies, corpse poison, and disposable weapons. As Sima Jin questioned whether the losses were worth protecting Ma Huainan, Yang Fan ordered even more resources committed to keep the battle going.

• Yang Shi ordered ordinary zombies, Corpse Cores, volatile poisons, and Ten-Thousand Corpse War Tombs deployed to break the Sima Family’s vanguard, while his forces countered Holy Spirit Water with Decayed Corpse Water.
• Yang Shi reinforced the left flank with White Jiangshi believers and equipped troops with Spirit-Breaking Talismans as reports of casualties and battlefield hazards mounted.
• Corpse poison spread into Ma Huainan’s Divine Kingdom Core, afflicting civilians and vulnerable lifeforms, and Ma Huainan begged Sima Jin for help.
• Sima Jin snapped at Ma Huainan to find his own remedy and resented the enormous losses caused by the Lu Family’s seemingly limitless war supplies.
• Yang Fan ordered Yang Da to buy flesh energy, replenish the front with troops from the Eternal Corpse Mine, and keep purchasing war supplies while Pill Spirit Realm alchemists made Poison Pills.
• Yang Fan said he would commit the Void War Arks and Mechanical War Puppets if necessary, confident that he could outlast the enemy.

Yang Fan stopped monitoring the war in his Divine Kingdom and chose to relax while Yang Da commanded the battle. Gu Le showed Lu Wan footage of Ma Huainan’s Divine Kingdom and revealed that Yang Fan had secretly supplied the Corpse-Cultivating God with war structures, leaving Lu Wan hurt that he had not told her.

• Yang Fan entrusted the war to Yang Da and ordered an intelligent robot to arrange a spa treatment and massages.
• Lu Wan told a company manager to keep buying Divine Kingdom Deduction Cards and to transfer funds for war supplies directly through her Divine Kingdom.
• Gu Le summoned Lu Wan to her private virtual space and showed her footage of the battle inside Ma Huainan’s Divine Kingdom.
• Gu Le explained that Ma Huainan had disclosed his Divine Kingdom coordinates to the Sima Family and that the Federation’s Supreme Artificial Lifeform had investigated the Five Great Families.
• Gu Le told Lu Wan that Yang Fan had spent two hundred trillion Divinity Points on two hundred million Ten-Thousand Corpse War Tombs, which he had likely given to the Corpse-Cultivating God.
• Lu Wan realized Yang Fan had kept the deal from her and wondered whether he trusted her.

Yang Fan met Lu Wan and Gu Le in the Virtual World after they confronted him about secretly arranging help against Ma Huainan. As they mistook the unknown Corpse-Cultivating God for Lu Mingshi and worried that Yang Fan had made a dangerous deal, he promised to handle the matter himself and reassured them of his love.

• Lu Wan summoned Yang Fan to the Virtual World, where Gu Le confronted him for keeping his plan against Ma Huainan from them.
• Yang Fan realized the women had uncovered that someone was helping him, but he neither confirmed nor denied their suspicions.
• Gu Le guessed that the Corpse-Cultivating God was Lu Mingshi, and Lu Wan asked Yang Fan how he knew him and why he was helping.
• Lu Wan assumed Yang Fan might be bound by a contract and urged him to be careful, while Yang Fan chose not to explain the misunderstanding.
• Yang Fan drew Lu Wan and Gu Le close, promised to shoulder the danger himself, and told them he loved them both.

Yang Fan tried to convince Lu Wan and Gu Le that he would handle his dispute with Lu Mingshi alone, but Lu Wan and Gu Le insisted on backing him. When Lu Mingshi arrived in a consciousness projection, Lu Wan challenged the way he addressed her.

• Lu Wan embraced Yang Fan and offered to use her funds, shares, and family connections to protect him from Lu Mingshi.
• Gu Le was moved but felt out of place as Lu Wan and Yang Fan acted like lovers; Yang Fan urged both women to stay out of the matter.
• Lu Wan learned that Lu Mingshi wanted to see Yang Fan and sent him the coordinates despite Yang Fan's attempts to stop her.
• Lu Wan and Gu Le said they would confront Lu Mingshi over his demands and any unfair terms in the Divine Kingdom contract, leaving Yang Fan fearing his lies would be exposed.
• Lu Mingshi arrived in a consciousness projection, greeted Lu Wan as his cousin, and was asked whether family seniority made that address incorrect.

Lu Mingshi unexpectedly approached Yang Fan, blamed himself for the exposed foundations of his Divine Kingdom, and asked for a job at the Yang Group. Yang Fan hired him as a special adviser but remained wary of the clever god’s hidden motives.

• Lu Wan asked Lu Mingshi what he wanted with Yang Fan and positioned herself beside her husband.
• Lu Mingshi theatrically knelt and clung to Yang Fan, calling him Brother and offering to use his forces against Ma Huainan.
• Yang Fan sent Lu Wan and Gu Le away, then asked Lu Mingshi why he was pretending they knew each other.
• Lu Mingshi explained that his Divine Kingdom foundations had been exposed and his mother had cut off his allowance, so he asked Yang Fan for a job.
• Yang Fan offered Lu Mingshi five hundred thousand Divinity Points a month to serve as a Yang Group special adviser, and Lu Mingshi shared his Feixun account.
• After Lu Mingshi left, Yang Fan concluded that he was perceptive, powerful, and hiding a major secret.

Lu Mingshi judged Yang Fan too powerful to provoke, while Yang Fan and Lu Wan paused their plans against Ma Huainan and Gu Le returned the funds. The war against Ma Huainan continued as Yang Fan remained confident that his resources and replenishing forces would outlast the enemy.

• Lu Mingshi ended his investigation into Yang Fan and decided that the monthly payment was worth taking the blame, while cautioning against provoking him.
• Yang Fan reassured Lu Wan that he could handle his own troubles, and Lu Wan returned Gu Le's funds and suspended the preparations for war against Ma Huainan.
• Gu Le received the returned Divinity Points, praised Yang Fan to her son Gu Chengye, and considered joining him at the Frontline after graduation.
• Yang Fan sustained a hundred-billion-believer force as his troops fought Ma Huainan's forces and reinforcements from the Sima Family in a prolonged war of attrition.
• Yang Fan assessed that the war supplies consumed so far cost him less than a month's income and remained confident that his resources would let him outlast his opponents.

Yang Fan learned that mounting losses had made Sima Family gods reluctant to keep supporting Ma Huainan’s war, while Lu Wan offered Lu Mingshi more supplies. After Yang Fan concealed how wealthy he was, Lu Wan investigated the Yang Group’s records and found purchases worth nearly a hundred trillion Divinity Points with no recorded payments.

• Lu Wan showed Yang Fan reports that Sima Family gods were seeking subsidies or preparing to withdraw from the war supporting Ma Huainan.
• Yang Fan said the Sima Family’s supporters would eventually quit once their wartime losses made the conflict no longer worthwhile.
• Lu Wan offered to give Lu Mingshi the war supplies her company had bought, but Yang Fan assured her they had ample resources.
• Lu Wan asked whether Yang Fan lacked Divinity Points, and Yang Fan claimed the war relied on Lu Mingshi’s reserves.
• After Lu Wan left, Yang Fan worried she would discover that he had refused a hundred-trillion-Divinity-Point dowry because he did not need the money.
• Lu Wan reviewed the Yang Group’s financial and material-transfer records and questioned why its recent war-supply purchases showed no payments.

Lu Wan discovered that Yang Fan had been using the Yang Group to trade Frontline resources for meager profits while under financial strain, and quietly arranged help for his business. Meanwhile, Sima Zhao’s family gathered to confront their mounting losses in the war against Lu Mingshi’s Lu Family.

• Lu Wan learned that Ma Yu had left records of war supplies bought with Yang Fan’s funds and ordered the artificial lifeform to erase them.
• Lu Wan discovered that the Yang Group held three hundred trillion Divinity Points in inventory, much of it earthcore spirit marrow and enlightenment tea bought from the Frontline.
• After hearing that Yang Fan had pursued risky, low-margin trades despite refusing her hundred-trillion-Point dowry, Lu Wan felt remorse and arranged professional managers to help the Yang Group sell its stock.
• Yang Fan ate downstairs, sneezed, and wondered who was thinking about him.
• At a Sima Family meeting, several gods complained about losing high-end believers and risking their Divine Kingdoms in the ongoing fight against Lu Mingshi’s Lu Family.
• Sima Jin told Sima Zhao that the Lineage had supplied war materials, but the Sima Family had produced the intelligent weapons and had not received compensation for their heavy losses.

Sima Zhao tried to negotiate with Lu Mingshi’s side while organizing the Sima Family’s forces to keep fighting in Ma Huainan’s Divine Kingdom. He secretly planned to withdraw after five days, using a false claim that they could hold out for a month to pressure Yang Fan into reconsidering the war.

• Sima Yurou told Sima Zhao that Lu Mingshi had firmly refused contact, and Sima Zhao rejected the idea of approaching Lu Mingshi’s parents.
• Sima Zhao said Sima Tianci should carry an offer of a thousand S-Class Resource Buildings to Yang Fan, warning that the Sima Family would otherwise continue fighting.
• The Sima Family gods objected to further losses, so Sima Zhao promised to reimburse their daily costs for each day they held out after the fifth day.
• After the other gods left, Sima Yurou worried they might exaggerate their losses, and Sima Zhao revealed he would order a withdrawal after five days and had made the month-long claim as psychological warfare.
