Chen Fan watched the Mortal Domain flourish as its members traveled, reconciled old grievances, and pursued new pursuits, while he inspected its resources and received news of the wider war. The chapter ended with Chen Fan struggling to review the Warehouse records while Elder Seven faced the coming rainy season at Defense Line Seven and the Eternal Night Front reported recent gains.

Chen Fan’s Spark Starting a Prairie Fire project illuminated the New Continent, triggering the Heavenly Dominion reward: a golden rain that healed people and land, followed by three years of protection and naturally forming Eerie Ore. A year later, as the Undersea Strange Tide approached Jiangbei, Chen Fan strengthened the Northbank Defense Line and called for reinforcements; the Slaying Immortal Holy Land arrived ready to fight.

• Chen Fan chose the Exhausted Ammunition blessing for the Soul-Devouring Sculpture and heard Wang Kui report that the Spark Starting a Prairie Fire project was nearly complete and the Mortal Domain held 6.17 billion Eerie Stones.
• Chen Fan traveled to the New Continent, where its 169,988 max-level Eerie Fires drove away the darkness and brought down golden rain that healed injuries, restored the land, and extended lifespans.
• Chen Fan learned that Heavenly Dominion would protect the New Continent from Strange Entities for three years while generating Eerie Ore, and he ordered Mortal Domain members to come receive the golden rain.
• One year later, Chen Fan prepared for the Undersea Strange Tide by upgrading the Northbank Defense Line to Level 6 and requesting reinforcements from Jiangbei and the West Pass Plains.
• The Slaying Immortal Holy Land Sacred Lord arrived with 729 disciples, three months of rations, and five million Eerie Stones, asking to fight for Jiangbei and the West Pass.

Chen Fan and the Mortal Domain held the Northbank Defense Line against fifteen days of undersea strange-tide attacks, then received Tianyi of the Eternal Night Hall, who sought help for the struggling Eternal Night Front. Chen Fan offered food and transport routes in exchange for eerie stone collected at the front, and invited Tianyi inside to discuss the proposal.

• Chen Fan activated all 8,500 Godslayer Cannons and the Northbank Defense Line’s air defenses, repelling the first strange-tide attack and surviving the night with few casualties.
• Over the next fifteen days, the Mortal Domain kept the strange tide from breaking through while gathering resources and feeding the defenders; Chen Fan learned that the Eternal Night Hall had been told Jiangbei still stood.

• Tianyi thanked Chen Fan for protecting Jiangbei, asked about the Mortal Domain’s eerie-stone reserves, and requested support for the Eternal Night Hall.

• Chen Fan invited Tianyi inside the Northbank Defense Line’s hut to continue their discussion.

Chen Fan learned that Eternal Night Hall was struggling to supply its fronts and planned a route through the Yellow Springs region and Autumnbright Basin. After a traitor leaked news of the Jiangbei Mortal Domain, the Strange Entity Clan sent a massive tide through the Yellow Springs Coast Defense Line toward Jiangbei, and Tianyi plunged into battle to hold the Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line.

• Chen Fan learned from Tianyi that the Western Plains had fallen, supply routes were perilous, and a level-20 Night Watcher could destroy a vast number of strange entities by self-detonating.
• Chen Fan mapped a coastal supply route from the Mortal Domain through the Yellow Springs Mountain Range Region and Autumnbright Basin toward Western Region Frontline One.
• Tianyi told Chen Fan that he had reported the Mortal Domain's strength only to his master, but the master secretly passed the information to the Strange Entity Clan.
• The Ghost Emperor ordered a strange tide smuggled through successive sea routes to attack the Yellow Springs Coast Defense Line and then advance through Yellow Springs Pass toward Jiangbei.
• The strange tide overwhelmed the Yellow Springs Coast Defense Line and attacked Yellow Springs Pass, where Tianyi realized his master was a traitor and warned Chen Fan.
• Tianyi leaped from the Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line into the strange tide, burning nearby Strange Entities as he announced his presence.

Tianyi and Night Watcher Number Ninety-Seven sacrificed themselves to hold the Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line until Chen Fan’s missile strikes destroyed the strange tide. Chen Fan arranged treatment for the barely living Tianyi and reinforced the line, while the captured traitor Zhang Yide was ordered to feed the Strange Entity Clan false intelligence; Qiu Yisi revealed that the dead Night Watcher had been his son.

• Tianyi unleashed Corpse Liberation and Heaven-Burning, killed two Wraith Kings, and was struck down by a Greater Wraith as the strange tide surged toward the defense line.
• Night Watcher Number Ninety-Seven detonated a Ghostly Green aurora that wiped out most of the attackers, and Chen Fan’s repeated Cruise Missile strikes helped the defenders hold until the strange tide was gone.

• Chen Fan learned that the attack had come through the fallen Yellow Springs Coast Defense Line, ordered the Yellow Springs Pass defenses strengthened, and the Ghost Emperor decided to report the Mortal Domain’s intervention to his superiors.
• Qiu Yisi arrested Zhang Yide for betraying the Eternal Night Continent and ordered him to send false intelligence, then revealed that Night Watcher Number Ninety-Seven had been his only son.

Chen Fan strengthened the Mortal Domain’s defenses, met with Qiu Yisi to establish ties with the Eternal Night Hall, and learned more about the threat posed by the Strange Entity Clan. As the rainy season neared its end, Tianyi recovered and began accepting a quieter life in the Mortal Domain.

• Chen Fan ordered permanent stations and surveys at Defense Line Seven and the Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line after the costly relief operation depleted more than half of the Mortal Domain’s Sky-Piercing Pillars.
• The Medicine King Valley Master treated Tianyi with a Wraith Blood Flower and Human Blood Pills, while Qi Chong watched over his recovery.
• Qiu Yisi apologized for the information leak, explained the Eternal Night Hall’s efforts to protect rising powers and expose traitors, and asked Chen Fan to affiliate with the Hall in name.
• Chen Fan agreed to the affiliation and asked for a duplicate Blue Grade Defensive Structure blueprint in exchange for constructing the building for Eternal Night Western Region Black Tortoise Frontline One.
• Qiu Yisi shared a meal with Chen Fan, then departed after advising him to protect himself and the Mortal Domain first.
• Wang Kui told Chen Fan that Tianyi had recovered but chose not to reveal it to Qiu Yisi, and Qi Chong persuaded Tianyi to eat and consider farming and finding a wife.

After the rainy season ended, Chen Fan found two Heavenly Dao Stones among the treasures from the Yellow Springs Pass and planned to use one on the Sky-Piercing Pillars. An emerald rain then rewarded Jiangbei’s defenders and granted blessings to eleven of the Mortal Domain’s max-level buildings, leaving Chen Fan racing to choose their effects before time ran out.

• Chen Fan said farewell to the allied factions withdrawing from the Northbank Defense Line, then began building an Aerial Express Rail toward Eternal Night Western Region Black Tortoise Frontline One.
• Wang Kui reported the Mortal Domain’s reserves and told Chen Fan that two Heavenly Dao Stones had arrived among the stored treasures, prompting Chen Fan to return to the Warehouse.
• Chen Fan upgraded the Rope, Bonfire, and Exotic Beast Breeding House to max level, bringing the Mortal Domain’s total to fourteen max-level buildings.
• Emerald rain descended over Jiangbei after the rainy season, blessing contributors and granting three effect choices to each of the Mortal Domain’s eleven max-level buildings that lacked a Heavenly Dao blessing.
• The emerald rain restored Tianyi’s control over Firewalker Sun’s power, and Tianyi told Qi Chong he wanted to remain in the Mortal Domain.
• Chen Fan ignored repeated calls and hurried to select blessing effects for the eleven buildings before his hundred breaths expired.

After the rainy season, Chen Fan used the Heavenly Dao’s Blessing to strengthen the Mortal Domain’s buildings and successfully tested transporting and launching Sky-Piercing Pillars by High-Speed Rail. He built two missile storage bases behind Nameless Mountain and showed Tianyi the Mortal Domain’s growing arsenal before Tianyi returned to the Eternal Night Hall as Chen Fan’s informant.

• Chen Fan selected blessing effects that let the Bridge support special-Cultivator offspring, the Gondola expand to carry large cargo, and each Sky-Piercing Pillar split into three after launch.
• Chen Fan persuaded Tianyi to join the Mortal Domain’s Shadow Pavilion and return to the Eternal Night Hall to uncover traitors and report information.
• Chen Fan’s team transported a Sky-Piercing Pillar on the High-Speed Rail and successfully launched it at the Dead Sea, proving the Mortal Domain could move its missiles to distant launch sites.
• Chen Fan built two neatly arranged missile storage bases behind Nameless Mountain, each containing two thousand Max-Level Sky-Piercing Pillars.
• Chen Fan showed Tianyi the thousands of charging missiles, and Tianyi compared their combined power to several thousand Level-20 Night Watchers before preparing to return to the Eternal Night Hall.

Chen Fan reached Eternal Night Western Region Black Tortoise Frontline One, arranged free food aid in exchange for Building Blueprints, and returned with a Black Tortoise Cannon blueprint. While the front line received its first hot meals in a long while, Qiu Yisi prepared Tianyi to take over a secret operations group and revealed that he knew about a traitor.

• Chen Fan spent three months building the Empty Rail to Frontline One, where Sister Chan welcomed him and he agreed to provide free food in exchange for duplicate Building Blueprints.
• Chen Fan toured Frontline One, learned how its former commander had been killed by a traitor’s poison, and received a Blue-Grade Black Tortoise Cannon blueprint before heading home.
• Qiu Yisi told Tianyi that Wang Fa was the known traitor and planned to use him to feed false information to the Strange Entity Clan, then revealed secret Western Region Operations Group records to Tianyi.
• Chen Fan returned to the Mortal Domain and ordered grain and livestock shipped along the Empty Rail to Frontline One.
• Sister Chan received the shipment, and Frontline One’s people gathered for hot pork, cabbage, and glass noodle stew after enduring a long stretch of meager food.

Chen Fan uncovered the Primordial Era Northbank Defense Line’s buried supplies, then used the Mortal Domain’s resources to raise Jiangbei’s defense line to the maximum level before the rainy season. After a commander at the Black Tortoise No. 1 Front warned him that the Strange Entity Clan knew about Western Wasteland Island, Chen Fan decided to reinforce the Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line.

• Chen Fan witnessed the Primordial Era Northbank Defense Line appear and replay its fall, then gathered the Eerie Stones and treasures its formation released.
• Chen Fan upgraded the Vehicle Workshop, adding the Giant Strange Entity construction vehicle and the Flying Sword, and later raised the Northbank Defense Line to level 10.
• The rainy season began, and the arriving Strange Tide creatures stared up at the 200-meter wall while Mortal Domain members felt confident defending it.
• The new commander of the Black Tortoise No. 1 Front told Chen Fan that Sister Chan had died and that a captured traitor had leaked information that could lead the Strange Entity Clan to Western Wasteland Island.
• Chen Fan decided to strengthen the Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line as protection against a possible Strange Entity incursion.

Chen Fan completed the Mortal Domain’s level-10 Yellow Springs Mouth Defense Line, tested its new Black Tortoise Cannon against a meatworm wraith tide, and brought the Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line and Defense Line Seven under the Mortal Domain’s control. He strengthened the Mortal Domain’s walls and expanded its food and resource operations, while leaving the costly construction of a defense line across Guandong Plains for later.

• Chen Fan upgraded the Mortal Domain Yellow Springs Mouth Defense Line to level 10 and installed the Black Tortoise Cannon, which summoned an invulnerable Azure Black Tortoise to crush a meatworm wraith tide while slowing it with the Black Tortoise Domain blessing.
• Chen Fan secured Eternal Night Hall’s approval to take in the Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line Commander and the commander and members of Defense Line Seven; the Strategic Office head transferred both defense lines and their personnel to the Mortal Domain.
• Chen Fan instructed Zhang Qiuba to prepare a roster of the Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line’s personnel and arranged for Zhou Mo to introduce him to the Mortal Domain’s operations.
• Chen Fan used the last Heavenly Dao Stone to give the Northbank Defense Line and the Mortal Domain Yellow Springs Mouth Defense Line the Majestic and Magnificent blessing, strengthening their upgrade effects.
• Chen Fan judged that the Mortal Domain lacked enough resources to build a level-10 defense line across Guandong Plains, and hoped it could survive the rainy season before joining the wider battle against the Strange Entity Clan.
• Weiwei delivered Braised Delicacies to the monkeys on a protected island, while the monkeys and Mortal Domain workers expanded Monkey-Head Fruit production, sheep herding, farming, construction, and eerie-stone mining in the New Great World.

Chen Fan strengthened the Mortal Domain with new defenses, brick kilns, and high-rise housing, then learned the Strange Entity Clan had made him its top target. As the clan’s attempts to lure him to the front line failed, he prepared to close the remaining gap at Defense Line Seven.

• Chen Fan appointed Old Wang commander of the Yellow Springs Mouth Defense Line and built five Black Tortoise Cannons along the Northbank Defense Line.
• Chen Fan upgraded a Brick Kiln to maximum level, obtained a Blue Grade Resource Lucky Bag, and opened three bags that each yielded three billion eerie stones before saving the next one.
• Chen Fan used the new bricks and Giant Strange Entities to build high-rises in Mortal City, while Wang Kui reported that the management class had graduated and Chen Fan urged him to increase Monkey-Head Fruit production.
• After fifteen days of unusually quiet rainy-season fighting, the Strange Entity Clan attacked secondary defense lines and killed promising figures; Chen Fan learned his name topped its target list and ordered Wang Kui to gather 870,000 Monkey-Head Fruits.
• The Ghost Emperor tried to lure Chen Fan to the front line with a Blue Grade Building Blueprint, but the frontline kept it for its own Builders to study, so he began searching for another way to draw Chen Fan out.

The Ghost Emperor led a massive Strange Tide toward the Mortal Domain, while Chen Fan prepared defenses and reinforced the Guandong Plains with a ninth-level line. At the Yellow Springs Mouth, Old Wang disguised a tenth-level defense line as a weaker one, then revealed its strength and routed the Ghost Emperor’s army.

• The Ghost Emperor decided to attack the Mortal Domain despite the expected losses, then led his forces north toward Western Wasteland Island.
• Chen Fan sent supplies to the Guandong Plains, built Mortal Domain Defense Line Seven, and put Elder Seven in charge of holding it.
• The Ghost Emperor’s Strange Tide crossed into Yellow Springs Mouth and advanced toward the Mortal Domain Yellow Springs Mouth Defense Line.
• Old Wang lowered the defense line to thirty meters to lure the Ghost Emperor closer, explaining to Chen Fan that he wanted the Strange Tide to enter firing range.
• When the Ghost Emperor attacked, the defense line rose to two hundred meters and unleashed its Godslayer Cannons and Azure Phantom Black Tortoise.
• The Ghost Emperor ordered a retreat, but the cannons and Black Tortoise pursued his army as Old Wang watched the Strange Tide suffer heavy losses.

The Ghost Emperor rejected his superiors’ suicidal orders and settled his Strange Tide in the Yellow Springs Mouth Region, where he proposed peace to Chen Fan. After the rainy season, Chen Fan prepared to explore the Eternal Night Hinterlands while his Shadow Pavilion agents were recruited into Eternal Night Hall’s Western Region Operations Group.

• The Ghost Emperor’s Military Strategist warned that the higher-ups had abandoned him, so the Ghost Emperor chose to stay in the Yellow Springs Mouth Region and enjoy its sunlight rather than attack or attempt another covert crossing.
• The Ghost Emperor occupied a deserted City, began farming with his Strange Tide, and secretly assured his superiors that he would breach the Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line within three years.
• Chen Fan learned that the Strange Tide had settled in the region, received the Ghost Emperor’s truce proposal, and demanded a roster of spies in exchange for discussing peace.
• The Ghost Emperor handed over more than a dozen spy names, and Chen Fan sent the list to Shao Qiu so Shadow Pavilion agents at Black Tortoise Frontline One could gain merit by exposing them.
• After the rainy season ended, Tianyi recruited Er Dan, Zhang Fei, and Wang Xu into the Western Region Operations Group to hunt spies, while Chen Fan arranged an incognito trip into the Eternal Night Hinterlands with Qi Yue, Shao Qiu, and Weiwei.

Chen Fan traveled into the Black Tortoise Plains, entered Black Tortoise City with Tang Yue, and bought the White Tiger Cannon blueprint for twenty million eerie stones. After securing the blueprint, he planned to return to the Mortal Domain and test the cannon.

• The Ghost Emperor continued leading the Azure Black Tortoise out to sea each morning, while Chen Fan suspected the cannon's summon would pursue its target until it died.
• Chen Fan and his companions traveled secretly to the Black Tortoise Plains, where a special city-wall upgrade kept Black Tortoise City out of reach unless visitors held a Passage Token.
• Tang Yue gave Chen Fan a Passage Token and brought him to the Tang Lineage, where he used a Truth-Seeking Stone to prove his organization really held fifty million Eerie Stones in reserve.
• At the Tang Lineage banquet, Tang Yue revealed that a Blue Grade Building Blueprint she had found years earlier was kept in the family's Treasure Pavilion.
• Chen Fan identified the blueprint as the White Tiger Cannon and paid the Tang patriarch twenty million eerie stones for it.
• Chen Fan activated the blueprint at an inn and planned to return to the Mortal Domain to build the White Tiger Cannon.

Chen Fan returned from the Black Tortoise Plains and began expanding the Mortal Domain’s reach while testing the White Tiger Cannon and upgrading a Formation Hall. The Hall unlocked Teleportation Formations, and Chen Fan set out to recruit the Mortal Domain’s Formation Masters to put them into use.

• Weird Emperor Jiu Wu learned that a powerful strange tide with three peak Ghost Emperors was preparing to attack the frontline, but he refused to warn the Mortal Domain and ordered a diversionary attack near Yellow Springs Pass.
• Chen Fan said goodbye to Tang Yue and her father, established plans for the Northbank Merchant Association, and returned to Nameless Mountain with new Blue-Grade Blueprints.
• Chen Fan upgraded the White Tiger Cannon to Level 10, tested its devastating beam, and built one hundred cannons along the Northbank Defense Line.
• Chen Fan built and upgraded the Formation Hall, using Soil from Other Continents to reach Level 10 and unlock the Teleportation Formation.
• Chen Fan brought a Level 9 Formation Master into the Hall, learned how Teleportation Formations and portable Formation Discs worked, and asked Little Qiu for records of the other Formation Masters.

Chen Fan established teleportation networks and prepared the Mortal Domain for emergencies, while Zhang Qianqiu developed new formation technology. The Strange Entity Clan launched its final assault on the Eternal Night Continent, and Chen Fan mobilized the Mortal Domain to defend the collapsing frontlines as missiles streaked toward the battlefield.

• Chen Fan appointed Zhang Qianqiu Acting Pavilion Master and ordered the Formation Pavilion to build Heaven-Imprisoning and Teleportation Formations.
• Zhang Qianqiu completed long-distance Teleportation Formations and developed Formation Discs, including versions with restricted access and random destinations.
• A Strange Tide conquered the Primordial Continent, reorganized the Strange Entity Clan, and announced an all-out assault on the Eternal Night Continent.
• That One escaped his confinement after the Strange Entity Clan's leader released him, then flew to warn Eternal Night Hall and return to Jiangbei.
• The strange tide broke through Eternal Night Western Region Black Tortoise Frontline One, and Chen Fan ordered emergency missile support, evacuation preparations, and readiness for the Spark Plan.
• The Mortal Domain launched its Sky-Piercing Pillars as Ghost Emperor Nine Ya watched the missiles cross the sky.

As the Strange Entity Clan launched an all-out assault on the Eternal Night Continent, Chen Fan rushed the Mortal Domain’s Northbank Defense Line to reinforce Eternal Night Western Black Tortoise Frontline One and destroyed the priest empowering its tide. After learning that most frontlines had fallen, Chen Fan and the Eternal Night Hall began the Spark Plan to evacuate people and resources to Western Wasteland Island, while defenders stayed behind to buy time.

• Weird Emperor Jiu Wu and the Old Strange Entity realized the Strange Entity Clan had begun its all-out assault, while Mortal Domain Sky-Piercing Pillars struck Eternal Night Western Black Tortoise Frontline One and destroyed three Ghost Emperors.
• A black-robed Strange Entity used Scarlet Glow to turn Wraith Kings into Ghost Emperors and then empowered the tide with corrosive blood, but Chu Xiu took emergency command and Chen Fan arrived with the mobile Northbank Defense Line.
• Chen Fan launched a saturation strike on Area 77, killing the priestlike Strange Entity and causing the enhanced tide to melt away.
• Old Qiu told Chen Fan that nearly every ninth-level frontline and three tenth-level frontlines had fallen, so Chen Fan announced the Spark Plan and arranged for the Eternal Night Hall to evacuate everyone to Western Wasteland Island.
• Ye Xun agreed that the Eternal Night Hall would cooperate with the Spark Plan as factions evacuated west and defenders headed east to hold the frontlines.
• Old Qiu and Tianyi chose to remain at Eternal Night Western Black Tortoise Frontline Seven, while the Mortal Domain’s Formation Pavilion and Commerce Pavilion began building Teleportation Formations and transporting people and supplies.

As the Strange Tide overwhelmed the Eternal Night Continent, Chen Fan rushed to fortify Western Wasteland Island while a Black Tortoise City lord stayed behind to destroy his city and bury its invaders. That One and Old Qiu’s forces fought desperate delaying battles, and the chapter ended with Old Qiu and Tianyi sacrificing themselves to cover their frontline’s retreat.

• Chen Fan reinforced Eternal Night Western Region Black Tortoise Frontline One while Black Tortoise City’s residents evacuated to Western Wasteland Island, but the city lord chose to remain behind.
• When the Strange Tide broke into the Black Tortoise Plains, the city lord ignited Black Tortoise City’s hidden defenses, destroying the city and many Strange Entities along with it.
• Chen Fan built more tenth-level defenses on Western Wasteland Island and ordered workers to raise fake walls in Jiangbei to buy time for incoming resources.
• At Eternal Night Southern Region White Tiger Frontline Four, That One crushed the Strange Entity leading the attack with a hidden hammer, then continued toward another defense line with two crocodiles.
• As Black Tortoise Frontline Seven ran low on supplies, Old Qiu and Tianyi transformed into blazing suns and charged into the Strange Tide to cover the retreat.

Eternal Night Continent fell to the Strange Entity Clan, and the survivors sealed themselves inside Western Wasteland Island as Chen Fan prepared the Mortal Domain’s defenses. When the first massive Strange Tide attacked, Weird Emperor Jiu Wu avenged Old Strange Entity by swallowing the Royal Clan leader and calling on Chen Fan to destroy Yellow Springs City, but the assault continued after Jiu Wu died.

• The elderly commander honored Qiu Yisi and Tianyi, while refugees fled across the snow toward Western Wasteland Island and the Strange Entity Clan ordered its forces to keep advancing.
• The Royal Clan leader questioned the Heaven-Questioning Bell about the Thunderstorm Sea, then ordered the assault on Eternal Night Continent to continue.
• Five days later, Chen Fan learned that all Twelve Hall Leaders of Eternal Night Hall had died, and Western Wasteland Island sealed itself as the last defenses prepared for battle.
• Weiwei’s parents brought the unconscious That One to Mortal Domain Yellow Springs Mouth Defense Line One, where Chen Fan arranged for the Jiangnan He Family to treat them and Medicine King Valley to treat That One.
• The first great Strange Tide reached Yellow Springs Mouth, and the Royal Clan leader mocked Weird Emperor Jiu Wu and killed Old Strange Entity, prompting Jiu Wu to attack and swallow the leader.
• Weird Emperor Jiu Wu called on Chen Fan to blast Yellow Springs City, and Chen Fan’s Sky-Piercing Pillars destroyed the city and killed the Royal Clan leader, but the Strange Tide continued toward the defense line.

Chen Fan’s Mortal Domain repelled the first assault and then trapped Zhitian, King of the Royal Clan, in a massive forced-teleportation formation, killing him under a barrage of cannons. The Royal Clan’s army halted as its Generals turned to choosing a new King.

• A giant Black Tortoise vanished after Weird Emperor Jiu Wu died, while Chen Fan’s 27,000 Godslayer Cannons slaughtered the Strange Tide’s first wave at Yellow Springs Mouth.
• Chen Fan inspected crates of blueprints as the Strange Tide retreated, and Zhitian, King of the Royal Clan, later led a better-organized army to the defense line and demanded Chen Fan surrender.
• Chen Fan revealed himself to Zhitian and stalled for time while the defense lines formed a circle and the Mortal Domain prepared its hidden forced-teleportation formation.
• Chen Fan activated the formation, teleporting the Strange Entities overhead into the circle, where the airspace ban froze them in place.
• Eighty-one thousand Godslayer Cannons and Anti-Aircraft Cannons opened fire, killing Zhitian after his protective items shattered and his plea for help from the Heaven-Questioning Bell failed.
• The Royal Clan’s Generals sensed Zhitian’s death and halted their advance to compete for the vacant kingship.

After the Royal Clan’s King died, its leaders tested candidates’ dark affinity in the Black Abyss and selected Kui Yi as the likely New King. Meanwhile, Jiu Wu resurrected himself, emptied the Black Abyss to create an army, and led his followers to a deserted island, where they founded the Retirement Clan.

• The Royal Clan’s Generals gathered to discuss choosing a New King after the King died in a Mortal Domain ambush, and they agreed to test candidates’ dark affinity.
• Ping Yi learned that the Black Abyss could generate Strange Entities, while Old Strange Entity privately planned to make his son Kui Yi King.
• Kui Yi showed greater dark affinity than the other candidates, and Old Strange Entity declared him the rightful New King, though the Wraith Venerable objected to ending the selection early.
• After the Royal Clan left, Jiu Wu resurrected in the Black Abyss, discovered his Dark Sacred Physique and Death Authority, and used the darkness to create a vast Strange Tide army.
• Jiu Wu led his army across the sea to a deserted island and established the Retirement Clan, whose Heavenly Dao began to condense as its members celebrated their new life.

Chen Fan fused the Four Divine Cannons into the Heavenly Dao Cannon and discovered its devastating attacks, then learned from the resurrected Heavenly Dao about the continents, races, and War Mire. The Royal Clan prepared a simultaneous assault on three Mortal Domain defense lines in seven days, while Chen Fan considered how to eliminate their forces.

• Jiu Wu reassured the Old Strange Entity that the Mortal Domain could not reach his distant island, while the Illusory Black Tortoise raced toward him with its absolute lock-on.
• Chen Fan fused the four Divine Cannons into a level-ten Heavenly Dao Cannon and tested its area attack and continent-crossing ultimate beam, which carved a vast Void Strip through the Eternal Night Continent.
• The Medicine King Valley Master revived That One, and Chen Fan learned that the Eternal Night Continent lacked a Heavenly Dao, that the Primordial Continent had shattered into fragments, and that the War Mire was a deadly battleground for advanced continents and races.
• Chen Fan asked whether he could gather the Royal Clan’s strange tides into one line for the Heavenly Dao Cannon, but That One said the entities would not line up for him.
• Old Strange Entity told the Royal Clan Generals to launch an all-out assault on the Yellow Springs Mouth, Jiangbei, and Guandong Plains defense lines in seven days, promising the first general to reach a line the throne.

Chen Fan and Mr. Na carried out the Eternal Night Reboot Plan, sacrificing the Eternal Night Continent’s original Heavenly Dao and Mr. Na to collapse the continent and trap the Strange Tide on a narrow strip of land. As five Heavenly Dao Cannons fired at the gathered Royal Clan and Strange Entities, Chen Fan began the battle that could secure the Mortal Domain’s future.

• Kui Yi learned that Old Strange Entity was his biological father and agreed to let him help secure the throne.
• Mr. Na proposed collapsing the Eternal Night Continent and sealing the surrounding sea so the Mortal Domain could destroy the Strange Tide with its Heavenly Dao Cannons; Chen Fan agreed.
• Chen Fan organized the Mortal Domain’s preparations while Mr. Na contacted the Eternal Night Continent’s Heavenly Dao and set the plan in motion.
• The Royal Clan’s All-Out Assault began, and Kui Yi led troops toward the Northbank Defense Line as the continent started to collapse.
• Mr. Na sacrificed himself to seal the sea, and the Eternal Night Continent collapsed until its remaining land formed a narrow strip crowded with Strange Entities.
• Old Strange Entity and the Ghost Emperors pleaded for mercy before attacking the defense line, but it repaired itself as Chen Fan ordered five max-level Heavenly Dao Cannons to fire.

The Mortal Domain erased the Strange Tide, restored the Eternal Night Continent, and began rebuilding it while working to restore its Heavenly Dao. As Chen Fan oversaw the continent’s recovery, he received a message about Na Tian’s hidden son and continued preparing the Mortal Domain for future crises.

• The five Heavenly Dao Cannons destroyed the Strange Tide, and the Mortal Domain gathered the battlefield’s Eerie Stone and Exotic Treasures while spreading Eerie Fires across the continent.
• Wang Mazi lit the final Level-Ten Strange Fire, and the combined Golden Light Pillars broke the darkness, restored the land, and granted the continent three years without Strange Entity invasions.
• Chen Fan began rebuilding the continent and learned that Prosperity had to reach 3,000,000 for its Heavenly Dao to reform; he rejected an unsuitable Storybook writer chosen to compile its history and considered how to unify currency without depriving talented people of resources.
• A Mortal Domain soldier found Na Tian’s unconscious son, Na Qianxi, in the Primordial Land, along with a Jade Slip listing humans who had leaked wartime intelligence; Chen Fan ordered Na Qianxi brought back without examining the Jade Slip.
• Chen Fan inspected the Wraith Museum and its captured entities, then noticed that construction and other activity were rapidly increasing the continent’s Prosperity.
• Chen Fan visited the exotic-beast grounds, saw that Weiwei’s parents had a new Sky-Swallowing Crocodile baby, and left them undisturbed while Gold-Swallowing Toad helped move bricks in Jiangbei.
