Chen Fan learned that the Anti-Fan Alliance had rejected Hu Wan’s attempt to negotiate, while the Mortal Domain secretly prepared to escape the World Battlefield. Absolute Annihilation then appeared, filling the region with moving space rifts, and Chen Fan found the Eternal Night Continent could destroy them as it moved, leaving him with a chance to break out but forcing him to confront the fate of the affiliated continents.

• Chen Fan told Jiu Wu that the Mortal Domain planned to escape the World Battlefield once the Research Pavilion found a way to lift the Eternal Night Continent past the Fallen Firmament barrier.
• Hu Wan failed to persuade the Anti-Fan Alliance, whose twenty-one fifth-level continents continued to surround the World Battlefield.

• Chen Fan used his Heavenly Dao Builder powers to reignite the Mysterious Heaven Propellers, restoring the Eternal Night Continent’s movement.
• The Eternal Night Continent charged into the Heavenfall Continent again, and the two continents collided with little damage.

As Ultimate Calamity: Absolute Annihilation engulfed the World Battlefield and nearby continents, Chen Fan organized Mortal Domain’s sixty-eight affiliated continents into a protected safety zone before leading Eternal Night Continent’s breakout. The affiliated continents remained behind under the Angler’s protection as Eternal Night Continent charged into the storm toward a new beginning.

• Chen Fan rejected abandoning the affiliated continents and ordered them to follow Celestial Pivot’s evacuation routes to a safety zone Eternal Night Continent would clear; the Angler agreed to keep space rifts out of it.
• Eternal Night Continent carved out the safety zone, and Celestial Pivot guided all sixty-eight affiliated continents there while nearby continents struggled to escape or sought other paths to survive.
• After the final continent arrived, Chen Fan ordered Eternal Night Continent to break out at full speed, leaving the Angler to protect the sheltered continents for the remaining eleven months.
• The affiliated Continent Lords watched Eternal Night Continent depart, grateful that it had delayed its escape to save them; the Angler continued guarding the safety zone with his fishing line.
• Chen Fan watched the storm from Eternal Night Continent as it annihilated the space rifts ahead, and Crippled Monkey stood beside him in the rain.

Chen Fan destroyed the Heavenfall Continent, gained new continent titles and treasures, and led the Eternal Night Continent east toward the Wind-Eroded Land. He then met two unusually young Night Watchers and recognized their resemblance to old acquaintances, ending by offering to name the younger child Big Fish.

• Chen Fan sealed the Heavenfall Continent's Lord and used the Eternal Night Continent's propellers to push it into Ultimate Calamity: Absolute Annihilation, destroying it and plundering the Lord of the Time Ruins title and Chain of the Time Ruins.

• Three days later, Chen Fan reviewed the Mortal Domain Spring Examination's new recruits and summoned two four-year-old Night Watchers who grew in reverse.
• Chen Fan recognized that the boys resembled two old acquaintances and realized the younger one was a girl disguised as a boy; he offered to name her Big Fish.

Chen Fan learned that Big Fish and Gongyang Yiyue had returned to life as children, then recovered the Fly Continent Lord’s abandoned resources after he died stranded on a barren Island. Months later, the Eternal Night Continent reached the Wind-Eroded Land, where Chen Fan and his companions stepped ashore to explore.

• Mr. Na told Chen Fan that Big Fish and Gongyang Yiyue had been reborn as children named Big Fish and Dayang, and Chen Fan decided to let them start over without learning their past identities.

• Chen Fan’s continent reached the Wind-Eroded Land, and he stepped onto its barren surface with his companions to take a group picture and explore.

Chen Fan discovered that the Heaven's Mandate Token opened a passage through the Yellow Springs, then sent the Eternal Night Continent into it as a direct route to the Yellow Springs Beyond. The continent began its perilous journey, while Ming San wondered why he had sneezed.

• Chen Fan sent a Strange Dragon toward the ocean at the Wind-Eroded Land's edge, where it vanished, then collected two-thirds of the Wind-Eroded Fruits and left the rest behind.
• The Heaven's Mandate Token revealed a hidden entrance, leading Chen Fan and his companions into an interstitial space and to the core flow of the Yellow Springs.

• The Eternal Night Continent entered the passage and began moving toward the Yellow Springs, starting its journey to the Yellow Springs Beyond.
• Ming San sneezed beside the river in the Yellow Springs Beyond and guessed that someone was thinking of him.

The Eternal Night Continent crossed Yellow Springs and reached Yellow Springs Beyond, where Chen Fan met the Angler Clan Elderly Man and learned that the races were choosing sides for the coming Dark Upheaval. The chapter ended with Chen Fan facing the need to restore the King of Anglers’ memories as the Third Dark Turmoil approached.

• The Eternal Night Continent rode Yellow Springs for seven days before its propellers steered it safely past Snow Mountain and into Yellow Springs Beyond, where Chen Fan reunited with Ming San.
• Chen Jiutian proposed ways to establish a lasting connection to Yellow Springs, but Chen Fan left with Ming San’s warnings and set out toward the Extreme-Cold Grotto with Fat One and Fat Two.

• The Elderly Man explained the past alliances of the Dragon and Azure Dragon Clans, the Black Tortoise Clan’s danger, and the requirements for Jiu Wu to represent the Strange Entity Faction.
• The Dragon Clan proclaimed its allegiance to the Strange Entity Camp, and the Elderly Man urged Chen Fan to reach the Boundary Battlefield and restore the King of Anglers’ memories.
• After the Elderly Man departed and the continent resumed its journey, Chen Fan realized he needed one hundred tons of Stellar Gold to restore the King’s memories and feared the coming war.

The Angler explained to Chen Fan that the Third Dark Turmoil would be fought on the vast Boundary Battlefield, revealing humanity’s history, the purpose of this Heaven and Earth, and the possibility of restoring the Primordial Continent. He also described the Angler King’s past exploits and discussed Jiu Wu’s prophecy, then brought out diaries that might clarify it further.

• The Angler stopped the Eternal Night Continent again and invited Chen Fan and his companions to share three dishes while Chen Fan questioned him about the dark turmoils.
• The Angler explained that the first two dark turmoils occurred on the Boundary Battlefield, that humanity’s earlier worlds had fallen, and that this Heaven and Earth had been protected and prepared as humanity’s last headquarters.
• The Angler revealed that reassembling the Primordial Continent could allow a tenth-level continent to end the war, and that the four sacred races existed only in this Heaven and Earth.
• The Angler recounted how the Angler King tried to stop the previous war, attempted to steal the Seventh Sheet from the world’s creator, and hid the spoils he had fished up.
• The Angler confirmed Jiu Wu’s prophecy could help humanity if Jiu Wu declared allegiance to the Human Faction, then searched his diaries for more information about Oracle Island and the World Tree.
• Chen Fan asked whether the Angler caught edible fish, and the Angler said he saw no value in catching them.

After learning how dangerous the Boundary Battlefield was, Chen Fan revised the Mortal Domain’s plans and launched “Branching Out,” recruiting affiliated continents to expand its influence. The chapter ended with Eternal Night approaching the fifth-level Giggly Continent and receiving a warning that an intrusion would be treated as a declaration of war.

• The Angler revealed that he followed his King out of loyalty, gave his name as Canghai Yue, and departed after granting Chen Fan safe passage through the waters.
• Chen Fan rewrote the Mortal Domain’s Ten-Year Plan to affiliate continents across Heaven and Earth and recruited the candidate behind the proposal into the Strategist Pavilion.

• The Heavenly Derivation Display warned that Eternal Night was entering Giggly Continent’s 60,000-kilometer Safe Distance and that the fifth-level continent would retaliate if it intruded.

Chen Fan met Hu Wan and Xiaoxixi on the Giggly Continent and rejected their plan to force reluctant continents onto the Boundary Battlefield, revealing the Mortal Domain’s “Branching Out” strategy instead. Hu Wan and Xiaoxixi agreed to join Chen Fan’s plan, and Xiaoxixi disclosed that the Giggly Continent was a Grand Perfection Continent.

• Chen Fan redirected the Eternal Night Continent around the Giggly Continent’s safe zone, but Hu Wan recognized it and invited him to meet.
• Hu Wan proposed that the Gods and Devils Continent’s “Universal Unity” plan use Ephemeral Bloom to force fifth-level continents onto the Boundary Battlefield, but Chen Fan refused and warned that the plan would make the Gods and Devils Continent the Mortal Domain’s target.
• Chen Fan explained that “Branching Out” would link continents together so they could share war dividend layers and support one another, and Hu Wan and Xiaoxixi rushed to join it.
• Hu Wan offered to submit the Gods and Devils Continent to the Eternal Night Continent, but Chen Fan explained that they could not contract across different continent levels and needed to unlock War Dividend first.
• Xiaoxixi revealed that the Giggly Continent was a Grand Perfection Continent that could use the exclusive dark technologies of war, peace, and garden continents.

Chen Fan learned that Giggly Continent had been formed by merging continents and arranged plans with its lord and Hu Wan before setting out for the Extreme-Cold Grotto. When the Heaven-Questioning Bell awakened a World Tree Remnant, Chen Fan raced to find rootless soil to save it and Xiaowen, then remembered the unusually hard soil from beneath the Thunderstorm Sea as a possible match.

• The Lord of Giggly Continent explained how several continents had merged into a Grand Perfection Continent, and Chen Fan arranged to borrow the merging sea in exchange for a pseudo-pink-grade building blueprint.
• Hu Wan offered Chen Fan the Ephemeral Bloom blueprint and asked him to unblock Gods and Devils Continent in the Building Blueprint Market; Chen Fan agreed to trade a Mirage blueprint and had Crippled Monkey remove the block.
• Chen Fan left Giggly Continent, instructed Chen Jiutian and the others to continue their work, and led Eternal Night Continent toward the Extreme-Cold Grotto.
• Chen Fan hung Xiaowen from his desk's potted plant, activating a World Tree Remnant that had to be planted in rootless soil within one day, but the soil collected from the Wind-Eroded Land, Yellow Springs, the Primordial Continent, and other places failed.
• Jiu Wu asked Canghai Yue what rootless soil was and learned it came from realms destroyed elsewhere; after Canghai Yue said none remained in this realm, Chen Fan remembered the hard, energy-storing soil beneath the Thunderstorm Sea.

Chen Fan’s apple tree transformed into the seven-colored World Tree, and Xiaowen recovered its memories while remaining close to him. As the Mortal Domain prepared to reach level 40, the Fool’s Continent learned that eleven continents had surrounded it.

• The soil shipment triggered the apple tree’s transformation into the World Tree, whose panel revealed powerful abilities that required recovering its nine bells.
• The Heaven-Questioning Bell returned to Chen Fan and revealed its history, its bond with Oracle Island, and its grief over Grandpa World Tree’s death.
• Chen Fan saw Xiaowen mourning alone on a branch and chose to give it time, while Chen Jiutian reported that allied continents were organizing an attack on a fourth-level continent.
• Qian Xiaoping reported that several building projects were complete, bringing the Mortal Domain close to level 40, and Chen Fan agreed to forge Layered Bloom in a Flash before pursuing advancement.
• On the Fool’s Continent, an elderly man discussed the Eternal Night Continent’s rapid progress with his grandson before receiving word that eleven continents had surrounded his safe zone.

Mortal Domain launched its Branching Out plan, forcing fourth-level continents to submit through affiliated continents while concealing its expansion. On Eternal Night Continent, Chen Fan upgraded powerful pink-grade weapons and gained more Heaven's Mandate Bestowed activations, then chose a super blessing for Otherworld Kingdom.

• Eleven fourth-level continents surrounded Fool's Continent, and the Mortal Domain Strategist Pavilion Staff Officer told its lord to submit to Thunder Serpent Continent for five years and pay ten percent of its eerie stones; the lord agreed.
• Mortal Domain teams began absorbing other fourth-level continents, and one team discovered a continent already affiliated with another fourth-level continent and set out to find its overlord.
• Chen Fan reviewed Mortal Domain's progress toward becoming a fifth-level continent and examined the pink-grade Eternal Beyond and Otherworld Kingdom, learning how their grades could rise with continent advancement.
• Chen Fan upgraded Eternal Beyond and Otherworld Kingdom to Level 39, and Heaven's Mandate Bestowed gained three more activation opportunities after Eternal Night Continent defeated a fourth-level continent.
• Chen Fan used Heavenly Dao Stones on Otherworld Kingdom and selected the super blessing Sweeping the Courtyard and Clearing the Caves, which increased the range, density, and movement speed of its space rifts.

After the Eternal Night Continent became a fifth-level continent, Chen Fan led the Mortal Domain north through deadly cold toward the Extreme-Cold Grotto. There, he negotiated with the Black Tortoise King for profound cold ice, while the king repeatedly tried to persuade him to recruit the Black Tortoise Clan into the Human Faction.

• The Eternal Night Continent fulfilled its requirements and officially advanced to the fifth level, gaining permission to approach the Abyss.
• As the continent traveled north, freezing conditions slowed its engines and threatened its people and crops, but Chen Fan ordered everyone to press on.
• Jiu Wu found a tent on a glacier, and Chen Fan discovered its diary belonged to Heaven's Mandate, who had spent years seeking the Extreme-Cold Grotto.
• The Mortal Domain encountered Food-Heaven Continent members harvesting ten-thousand-year glacial ice for cooking, then continued north.
• Jiu Wu found the Black Tortoise King near the Extreme-Cold Grotto, and Chen Fan persuaded him that the Mortal Domain only wanted to mine profound cold ice.
• While the Logistics Pavilion mined the ice, the Black Tortoise King revealed the Black Tortoise Clan's secrets and urged Chen Fan to persuade him to join the Human Faction, but Chen Fan refused.

Chen Fan accepted Xuan Ba’s offer to lead the Black Tortoise Clan into the Mortal Domain, then used two bells Xuan Ba gave him to enhance the World Tree. The Eternal Night Continent set off for the Three-Heat Plains at astonishing speed, leaving the Food-Heaven Continent miners stunned.

• Xuan Ba explained that the Black Tortoise Clan could not safely join either Human faction and asked to submit to the Mortal Domain, whose people he trusted to protect them.
• Chen Fan agreed to take in the Black Tortoise Clan and offered them the Black Tortoise Plains on the Eternal Night Continent, though he told them not to announce their allegiance yet.
• Xuan Ba revealed his name and level sixty-nine cultivation, then gave Chen Fan the Longevity Bell and Emerald-Rift Bell, which he had kept after striking the Heaven-Evading Strange Entity.
• Chen Fan brought the bells to the World Tree, which gained powers to extend lifespan and increase the continent’s speed, and ordered sap pipes connected to the propellers.
• The Eternal Night Continent accelerated toward the Three-Heat Plains with emerald exhaust and shattered glaciers, while Chen Fan and the others struggled to hold on.
• The Food-Heaven Continent miners watched the speeding Eternal Night Continent disappear into the distance, and their leader said he thought he had seen a ghost.

Chen Fan’s speeding Eternal Night Continent crushed a Level-Five Strange Entity Clan and escaped the Twin Ghosts at the Door calamity, earning the unique title Accession at Ghost Gate. Meanwhile, Strange Entity leaders on the Boundary Battlefield identified the Mortal Domain as a possible future Human King and prepared to destroy it if it survived their assault.

• A green-faced Strange Entity received orders to abandon the search for the Black Tortoise Clan and join the highest-priority mission to destroy the Mortal Domain, but his continent was crushed by Chen Fan’s speeding Eternal Night Continent.
• Chen Fan kept the Eternal Night Continent moving toward the Three-Heat Plains, and three days later it entered the Twin Ghosts at the Door calamity.
• Chen Fan activated the continent’s formations as the Eternal Night Continent smashed the twin ghosts and escaped, earning the unique title Accession at Ghost Gate.
• Chen Fan learned that Survival at Ghost Gate conflicted with his new title, chose a random Special Forbidden-Land Map as compensation, and sent the Enthronement Edict and Ghost Gate to the Warehouse.
• An Old Strange Entity told the Boundary Battlefield council to gather Level-Five Strange Entity Clans to kill the Mortal Domain and monitor it as a possible future Human King.

Chen Fan discovered that the Demon Abyss and Dragon Graveyard lay deep in the Boundary Battlefield, then continued leading Eternal Night Continent through extreme heat. Xuan Ba revealed that Eternal Night Continent was once the Cursed Continent and warned Chen Fan that it held dangerous secrets tied to the near-destruction of the Black Tortoise and White Tiger Clans.

• Chen Fan used the Demon Abyss map to witness the Boundary Battlefield and learned that the forbidden zone lay in Strange Entity territory; the Dragon Graveyard map also pointed to a battlefield amid active fighting.
• Eternal Night Continent passed Giggly Continent at high speed, while Xiaoxixi watched it sweep by and Good Cat Continent arranged to hand its chicken-raising work over to Li Kaixin of Cautious Continent.
• After six months of extreme heat, Jiu Wu helped Xuan Ba's Black Tortoise Clan install cooling equipment and learned that the Cursed Continent was where the Tower of Babel had stood before the Fallen Firmament was shattered.
• Jiu Wu showed Xuan Ba the Mortal Domain History Book, revealing that the Cursed Continent had been renamed Eternal Night Continent; Xuan Ba panicked and demanded to speak with Chen Fan.
• Xuan Ba told Chen Fan that the Black Tortoise King and a White Tiger had gone to the Cursed Continent for a major undertaking and failed, leaving the White Tiger Clan nearly vanished and the adult Black Tortoises dead.

Chen Fan rejected Xuan Ba’s proposal to abandon the Cursed Continent and continued toward the Three-Heat Plains. There, he met the Angler Drunkard Xinghe, who offered help restarting the continent’s journey and paid Chen Fan with star metal.

• Chen Fan refused to abandon the Eternal Night Continent, while Xuan Ba decided to stay and fight for his home.
• Xuan Ba explained that Vermilion Birds and Azure Dragons left no ordinary corpses, and warned that the Strange Entity Faction must not find the Azure Dragon Graveyard.
• Jiu Wu joined Chen Fan at the Northbank Defense Line, where they saw Drunkard Xinghe stop the continent near the Three-Heat Plains.
• Drunkard Xinghe introduced himself, confirmed that the continent was sturdy enough for the region’s heat, and offered to help restore its speed after sharing a meal with Chen Fan.
• Drunkard Xinghe apologized for stopping the continent and presented Chen Fan with star metal he had fished up.

Drunkard Xinghe dragged the Three-Heat Plains beside the Eternal Night Continent and pledged the Angler Clan to war. As Chen Fan searched the plains for Five-Turbidity Coconuts, Baobao discovered the Vermilion Bird Clan’s hidden nesting ground and a palace bearing a couplet linked to two dead Firewalker Sun cultivators.

• Wang Kui collected eighty-three jin of Stellar Gold, and Drunkard Xinghe spoke bitterly about the divide between the noble-born and those who served them.
• Drunkard Xinghe used a galaxy-like fishing line to pull the Three-Heat Plains beside the Eternal Night Continent, completing Chen Fan’s task of visiting the Four Great Extremes and pledging the Angler Clan to the Mortal Domain’s war.
• After Jiu Wu burned his legs trying to gather Five-Turbidity Coconuts, Chen Fan sent Baobao, who was immune to heat, to explore the plains.
• Baobao found a hidden alternate space containing red parasol trees and their fruit, which Chen Fan identified as the Five-Turbidity Coconuts.
• Baobao discovered a palace with Vermilion Bird reliefs and the same couplet once used by the Eternal Night Hall’s Western Operations Group; Chen Fan ordered Wang Kui to investigate Firewalker Sun cultivators across affiliated continents.
• Chen Fan told Baobao to try opening the palace doors.

Baobao became the Vermilion Bird Clan’s King and explained how the Angler Clan had preserved his memories and the clan’s remains, though he had to postpone his full revival until the third dark turmoil. As the Eternal Night Continent set out for its next destination, Green Edge warned Chen Fan that the Mortal Domain was on the Strange Entity Faction’s Watch List and delivered resources and a guide to the Boundary Battlefield.

• Baobao walked to the Vermilion Bird Throne, endured the statues’ flames, and told Chen Fan he had become the Vermilion Bird Clan’s King.
• Baobao explained that the Angler Clan had used a Nine-Turn Yin-Yang Flower and Canghai Yue’s Reverse Fishing to preserve the Vermilion Birds and cast his memories into the world; he said the Angler Clan were their benefactors.
• Baobao said the clan could not fully revive until the third dark turmoil began, while translucent Vermilion Birds carried Five-Turbidity Coconuts out of the Three-Heat Plains.
• Xuan Ba told Chen Fan that Canghai Yue might have his Former King’s diary, and Chen Fan arranged for the Yellow Springs Wraiths to take Xuan Ba to him.
• The Eternal Night Continent set course for the Giggly Continent, and Chen Fan considered stockpiling more Sky-Piercing Pillars for the Boundary Battlefield.
• Green Edge told Chen Fan the Strange Entity Faction had placed the Mortal Domain on its Watch List and gave him three Storage Bags of resources and a Beginner’s Guide to the Boundary Battlefield.

Chen Fan received resources and a Calamity Token from the Human Faction, then learned that the Black Tortoise and White Tiger Clans had tried to revive the Vermilion Bird and Azure Dragon Clans through experiments on the Cursed Continent. Xuan Ba recovered from the revelation that the Four Sacred Beasts might be keys to a greater crisis, and the chapter ended with him and Jiu Wu turning their morning runs into a chase across the Eternal Night Continent.

• Chen Fan examined three Resource Storage Bags from the Human Faction: one held a million Level-10 Eerie Stones, one held two hundred tons of Stellar Gold, and one held a single-use Calamity Token.
• Xuan Ba visited Canghai Yue in Yellow Springs and read a stone from his former King's diary, learning that the Black Tortoise and White Tiger Clans had tried to recreate the Vermilion Bird and Azure Dragon Clans.
• Xuan Ba brought the diary stone to Chen Fan, who learned that humans had been used in the Vermilion Bird bloodline experiments and that the project had failed after the clans were punished.
• Jiu Wu comforted Xuan Ba by reminding him that his choices still mattered even if fate had designated him a key, and the two agreed to chase each other during their runs.
• Jiu Wu and Xuan Ba led their followers on separate morning-running circuits along the Eternal Night Continent's coast while Chen Fan watched from the Northbank Defense Line.

Chen Fan welcomed Wan Gu, the Angler whose rescue had cost a hundred tons of Stellar Gold, and learned that rescuing the many Anglers trapped in other World Battlefields would require thousands more. As the Eternal Night Continent headed toward the Wind-Eroded Land, the Food-Heaven Continent fell under a Strange Tide’s control, and its Elderly Man summoned a powerful ally by breaking an old Pearl.

• Wan Gu joined the Eternal Night Continent, remembered his name and identity, and asked Chen Fan to rescue his clansmen trapped in the War Mire and World Battlefields.
• Chen Fan realized each Angler required a hundred tons of Stellar Gold and decided he would need to seek more on the Boundary Battlefield before rescuing the others.
• Wan Gu gave Xuan Ba, Jiu Wu, Weiwei, and the others stones that would let him sense danger, while Xuan Ba admitted his own warning Pearls had been bluffs.
• A massive Strange Tide captured the Food-Heaven Continent and confined its people, but its spear-wielding leader agreed to let the Elderly Man care for his fish after he threatened to die.
• The Elderly Man accidentally broke a Pearl once given to his people by a Black Tortoise, hoping it would answer his call, while Strange Entity Clan leaders nearby discussed holding a banquet.

Chen Fan’s Eternal Night Continent was caught in a manually triggered calamity after Jiu Wu and Xuan Ba discovered a huge ambush of Level-Five Strange Entity Clans. Chen Fan prepared the continent’s defenses with nearly a hundred halos, then ordered an Otherworld Kingdom fired as the enemy closed in.

• The Strange Entity Clan Kings ordered the Food-Heaven Continent’s elderly cook to prepare a Seventy-Two-Course Banquet, and he arranged for the harpoon-wielding minor strange entity who had brought him there to become an ingredient.
• Jiu Wu and Xuan Ba spotted enormous Strange Tides ahead of the Eternal Night Continent, and Jiu Wu warned Chen Fan that an ambush was waiting.
• The Strange Entity Clan Kings used a Heaven-Evading Strange Entity to try to seal Chen Fan, then activated the Night Parade of a Hundred Ghosts calamity with a Calamity Token.
• Chen Fan ordered the Mysterious Heaven Propeller shut down, told Shao Qiu to investigate a possible leak, and learned that twenty-seven Level-Five Strange Entity Clans and possible Ancient Strange Entities were advancing.
• Chen Fan made a thousand draws at Heaven’s Mandate Bestowed, covering the Eternal Night Continent in halos and gaining a 14,280% defensive-structure boost, then drew an 888 halo that multiplied eerie-stone drops by one hundred.
• As the Strange Tides approached, Chen Fan ordered an Otherworld Kingdom fired to test its power against the approaching forces.

Chen Fan tested the Otherworld Kingdom against the Strange Tide, but Stone Statue Wraiths and Mirror Wraiths redirected and absorbed its attacks. As the resulting space rifts devastated the enemy and scattered its loot, Angler Wan Gu glimpsed a clansman fishing through the rifts before another Angler hooked him and forced him to cut the line.

• The Food-Heaven Continent submitted to the Mortal Domain and helped the Gods and Devils Continent and other allied continents send reinforcements, though they could only prepare for a possible second battlefield outside the Ultimate Calamity.
• Chen Fan launched an Otherworld Kingdom, but a Stone Statue Wraith used its wings to blow the projectile back toward the Eternal Night Continent.
• Chen Fan redirected the Otherworld Kingdom, and the Eternal Night Continent intercepted it with a Strategic Sky-Piercing Pillar, triggering a blast of space rifts that tore through the Strange Tide.
• Mirror Wraiths formed a vast dome that absorbed the space rifts and shielded part of the Strange Tide, while Xiaowen explained how the Ancient Strange Entities worked together.
• Angler Wan Gu recognized fishing lines moving through the space rifts, but another Angler hooked him; Wan Gu cut the line and resolved to recover his memories and find his clansman.

Chen Fan and the Mortal Domain crushed an invasion by twenty-seven Level-Five Strange Entity Clans, then earned the Divine Descent title for escaping the ultimate calamity within twelve hours. As allies gathered on the Food-Heaven Continent, Chen Fan received 3,000 tons of Stellar Gold and looked ahead to the Boundary Battlefield, while Xuan Ba renewed an old connection with the continent.

• Chen Fan’s Otherworld Kingdom opened space rifts that devastated the invading Strange Entity army, and the Mortal Domain finished off the survivors with Sky-Piercing Pillar attacks and its forces.
• Jiu Wu used the hundredfold Eerie Stone bonus to mass-produce and kill Level-1 Meatworm Wraiths, while the Mortal Domain collected the battlefield’s loot and escaped the calamity within twelve hours to earn the Divine Descent title.
• Chen Fan traveled to the Food-Heaven Continent with the Mortal Domain’s senior figures and welcomed its Continent Lords to a gathering at Nameless Mountain.
• Food Without Words told Chen Fan that the Food-Heaven Continent had hidden 3,000 tons of Stellar Gold and offered its cooks’ help on the Boundary Battlefield; Chen Fan accepted the gift.
• Food Without Words thanked Xuan Ba for saving the Food-Heaven Continent’s ancestor, and Xuan Ba asked for a banquet to share with Canghai Yue.
• Chen Fan postponed the gathering until Jiu Wu could join and went to the Northbank Defense Line, where Crippled Monkey draped a robe over his shoulders.
