• The bronze statue dimmed as the Angler went to procure the goods, and Chen Fan wondered whether the journey would take years.

Chen Fan upgraded the Mortal Domain’s buildings and learned the Heavenly Dao Cannon’s level-30 effect judged targets by their War Mire sin ranks. As he began preparing the Mortal Domain for advancement, the War Mire Angler returned with his goods and revealed that the missing Smelting Factory blueprint had been transferred to an Angler in a neighboring War Mire.

• Chen Fan asked the Angler to source more goods, and the Angler said long-range contact could take years or decades to establish.

Chen Fan browsed the expanded War Mire Angler Shop and bought every resource pack, an Under-Heaven Edict, and a Battlefield Passage Token. He considered how the Edict could turn a World Battlefield war into a high-risk windfall, then continued examining the remaining goods.

• Chen Fan examined the Angler's expanded shop and spent 700,000 days of War Mire Survival Time on all the resource packs.
• Chen Fan learned that factions on the World Battlefield typically needed one to three years to afford a 100,000-Tier product and that low-stock items were generally more sought-after.

• Chen Fan read that the Battlefield Passage Token protected his faction from environmental dangers for Thirty Days and bought one.
• Chen Fan examined the Life Workshop Banner Plugin, which enabled production of Red Grade banners.

Chen Fan finished shopping, then oversaw the Eternal Night Continent’s advancement to a fourth-level continent and explored the new Blueprint Market. He discovered the strength of Gold Grade buildings and realized the Mortal Domain’s Lord Panel might let him exploit the market’s hardest-to-use blueprints.

• Chen Fan bought several Exotic Treasures and blueprints, including the Gold Grade Heart That Embraces the World, and distributed some purchases to Jiu Wu, Qian Xiaoping, and Tian Ce.
• Chen Fan led the ceremony that advanced the Eternal Night Continent to level four, and Heaven and Earth raised its building level cap to 31 because of the Nine Heavens Lightning-Inducing Tower.
• Chen Fan activated the Life Workshop’s Blueprint Market and learned that fourth-level and fifth-level continents could trade building blueprints there.
• Chen Fan examined Gold Grade self-created blueprints, including devastating continent-killing weapons, and concluded that advanced continents depended on specialized countermeasures as well as resources.
• Chen Fan discovered that non-self-created Gold Grade blueprints were cheaper because their complex designs were difficult to comprehend without the creator’s explanation, and he suspected his Lord Panel could help him use them.

Chen Fan bought the Gold Grade blueprint Ten Thousand Nations Pay Homage for 300 billion Eerie Stones, then sold it back to Farmer Continent for one trillion after its owner tried to reclaim it. After building and upgrading the Heavenly Craft Platform, Chen Fan received three super Heavenly Dao blessings and used the Angler to obtain a token that secured all three, but Sacrificing Heavenly Dao began pulling Mr. Na toward the platform.

• Chen Fan bought Ten Thousand Nations Pay Homage for 300 billion Eerie Stones, and its seller from Farmer Continent gradually raised the buyback offer to one trillion, which Chen Fan accepted.

• Chen Fan ran off to place another Heavenly Dao in the platform before Mr. Na could be sacrificed.

Chen Fan powered up the Heavenly Craft Platform, which let Qian Xiaoping study another continent’s research records and run simulations. After Chen Jiutian’s reckless test caused an explosion, Chen Fan sent everyone away and secretly began testing battles for himself.

• Chen Fan approved Qian Xiaoping’s request for a dedicated silver-electricity line and learned that the Mortal Domain lacked materials for large Energy Storage Pools.
• The Heavenly Craft Platform came online, and Qian Xiaoping discovered inherited research records that expanded his ideas for developing self-created buildings.
• A simulation showed that an underground Energy Storage Pool could explode after two years, prompting Qian Xiaoping to reconsider his proposal.
• Chen Jiutian simulated a hundred million Level-30 Heaven-Deriving Sky-Piercing Pillars attacking Nameless Mountain, overwhelming the Battery Bank and damaging the Heavenly Craft Platform; Baobao was injured but survived.
• Chen Fan ordered Chen Jiutian to write a self-criticism and visit Baobao, told everyone to leave for the night, and then began running his own battlefield simulations inside the Heavenly Craft Platform.

Chen Fan expanded the Mortal Domain’s research capacity by building sixteen Heavenly Craft Platforms and assigning them across its pavilions, then learned that reaching a fifth-level continent required developing a Gold Grade building. The Heaven-Questioning Bell showed him a way to meet that requirement without sacrificing the new platforms, leaving Chen Fan relieved and ready to continue.

• Chen Fan built a Heavenly Craft Platform for the Strategist Pavilion, then added the Smelting Factory and Starforge near the Research Pavilion.
• Chen Jiutian and Qian Xiaoping discovered that the Heavenly Craft Platforms contained research records from different continents, revealing that the Mortal Domain could inherit decades of knowledge.

• Chen Fan used a Heavenly Dao Stone on the Smelting Factory and selected Mass Module Production as its blessing effect.
• Mr. Na told Chen Fan that advancing to a fifth-level continent required developing a Gold Grade building, leaving Chen Fan worried that the Mortal Domain would need nineteen of them.
• The Heaven-Questioning Bell explained that a second Gold Grade building developed within each Heavenly Craft Platform would not be upgraded by its blessing and could fulfill the requirement, easing Chen Fan’s worry.

Chen Fan built and upgraded the Starforge, adding a new stage to the Mortal Domain’s postwar resource recovery, while the Research Pavilion studied records seized from conquered continents. He also established a Heart That Embraces the World to collect popular will and ordered Zhou Mo to crack down on crime across the Eternal Night Continent.

• Chen Fan upgraded the Starforge to level 31 and chose the Universal Recycling+++ blessing, which would recycle a continent over forty-nine days.
• Chen Fan instructed Little Qiu to send strange entity corpses to the Mortal Domain for Starforge recycling as postwar inventories and land-digging continued.

• Chen Fan consulted Xiaowen about popular will, then built and upgraded the Heart That Embraces the World to collect it.
• Chen Fan contacted Zhou Mo about public order and ordered a comprehensive crackdown on crime and village tyrants across the Eternal Night Continent.

Chen Fan chose the Lights of Ten Thousand Homes blessing and mass-produced Hearts That Embraces the World and copper pipes while the Mortal Domain enforced new security and household policies. As the people traveled abroad and encountered the Mortal Domain’s power and prosperity, Chen Fan returned exhausted from seven days of crafting and went to sleep.

• Chen Fan chose Lights of Ten Thousand Homes as the Heart That Embraces the World’s blessing, then began producing a large batch of the structures.
• Zhou Mo and the Mortal Domain’s officials organized a crime crackdown, household registration, and Little Qiu ordered copper pipes connected to every home, including remote hunters’ dwellings.
• The Mortal Domain encouraged travel to the Cautious Continent, the Intercontinental Continent, and the Changyu Continent, sending citizens by high-speed train in white robes equipped with Positioning Formations.
• Mortal Domain visitors reached Aisti City, where locals questioned them about the Mortal Domain, while visitors from other continents arrived at Nameless Mountain and marveled at its city and defenses.
• After seven days of crafting Hearts That Embraces the World, copper pipes, and other structures, Chen Fan returned to his Wooden Hut and told Crippled Monkey to greet Jiu Wu before he went to sleep.

Jiu Wu received the Jiu Wu Pavilion’s Heavenly Craft Platform, while a school lesson ended with Zhang Yue learning that his father had been resurrected. After hearing about the Mortal Domain’s recent progress, Chen Fan bought the Farmer Continent’s Gold Grade Ten Thousand Nations Pay Homage Blueprint for three hundred billion Eerie Stones.

• Crippled Monkey showed Jiu Wu the Heavenly Craft Platform and explained how its Experimental Simulation Zone worked.
• Wang Qiuhao finished teaching his students the General Curriculum and answered questions about Wang Kui and Qian Xiaoping.

• Crippled Monkey told Chen Fan that Rugged Island’s resurrection rate had risen and that revived War Pavilion members were being assigned safer work.
• Chen Fan accepted the Farmer Continent seller’s offer and bought the Ten Thousand Nations Pay Homage Blueprint for three hundred billion Eerie Stones.

Qian Xiaoping and the other pavilion masters proposed a simulated-scene building that could surpass Gold Grade, using Ten Thousand Nations Pay Homage as a model for its compulsory effect. Chen Fan built the Mortal Domain’s first pink-grade building, tested its powers, and ordered the researchers to begin dismantling it; they were still working when night turned to day.

• Qian Xiaoping explained how Chen Jiutian, Zhang Qianqiu, and the other pavilion masters had developed immersive simulations and planned to seek Heavenly Dao Recognition for a stronger compulsory effect.
• Qian Xiaoping proposed studying Chen Fan’s Ten Thousand Nations Pay Homage blueprint, and Chen Fan agreed to build a new building using its pseudo-Forced Pull.
• Chen Fan used a blank Heavenly Dao to raise the new Banquet Hall to pink grade, then inspected its luxurious interior and learned that it could summon people informally as well as host an annual banquet.
• Chen Fan informally summoned Jiu Wu to the Banquet Hall, tested the effect, and saw Jiu Wu returned after three breaths.
• Chen Fan ordered the group to dismantle the building, but Baobao’s hammer made no progress, so Chen Fan called for Weiwei and Jiu Wu; the group kept working until dawn.

Chen Fan learned from Bronze Statue that Ten Thousand Nations Pay Homage used an Artificial Angler made of Heavenly Dao Runes to forcibly fish in guests, explaining the mechanism the Research Pavilion had failed to understand for six months. He returned to the Heavenly Craft Platform to tell Qian Xiaoping, while Bronze Statue revealed his desire to recover lost memories and master the Anglers’ three secret techniques.

• Jiu Wu punched a hole through Ten Thousand Nations Pay Homage, so Chen Fan slowed its construction for the Research Pavilion to study its structure.
• The Research Pavilion dismantled seventeen buildings over six months without discovering how Forced Invitation worked, while Chen Fan prepared to sell survival time and release details of the Bit Battle.
• Chen Fan visited Bronze Statue, who explained that his earlier use of Returning Rod had nearly overwhelmed the surrounding Heaven and Earth.
• Bronze Statue described his lost memories and his goal of recovering Reverse Fishing and Eternal Hook, then explained that Ten Thousand Nations Pay Homage used an Artificial Angler formed from Heavenly Dao Runes.
• Chen Fan went to the Heavenly Craft Platform and told Qian Xiaoping that the building’s Forced Invitation worked by having the Artificial Angler fish guests over.

Chen Fan and the Research Pavilion uncovered the Banquet Hall’s layered runes and used them to create a Pseudo-Pink building that could pull an entire continent into a realistic illusion. After testing it on the Cautious Continent, Chen Fan named the building Mirage and began preparing for the World Battlefield.

• Mr. Na transformed into a rack and preserved all seventy-seven layers of Heavenly Dao Runes, revealing a three-dimensional Angler hidden in the Banquet Hall ceiling.
• The Research Pavilion transplanted the Artificial Angler into its prototype building, and Mr. Na left to seek Heavenly Dao Recognition for it.
• Heaven and Earth recognized the building, raised the continent’s level cap to 32, and the Heavenly Crafting Platform’s blessing upgraded it to Pseudo-Pink while retaining a Gold Grade version.
• Chen Fan built the new structure and tested it on the Cautious Continent, where Li Kaixin recognized the resource-filled downpour as an illusion despite the Truth-Piercing Towers’ failure to dispel it.
• Chen Fan named the building Mirage, ended the illusion, and invited Li Kaixin to the Mortal Domain for a chat.
• Chen Fan celebrated the Research and Development Department’s success and considered the need for defenses against illusion-type buildings before entering the World Battlefield.

Chen Fan tested a new Gold Grade building, named it the Internet Cafe, and chose a blessing that made its simulated scenes more realistic. After discovering the Mirage needed 100 Heavenly Dao Stones for a blessing, he returned to sleep, while the Farmer Continent's lord considered contacting the Mortal Domain about Ten Thousand Nations Pay Homage.

• Chen Fan built and tested a level-32 simulation building that pulled ten Jiangbei residents into a dangerous virtual scene, then named it the Internet Cafe.
• Chen Fan chose the Grand Illusory Realm blessing for the Internet Cafe and planned to use it for schools, games, and recreations of the Mortal Domain's history.
• Chen Fan tried to bless the Mirage, learned it needed 100 Heavenly Dao Stones, and generated a Mirage blueprint that the market refused to list.
• Chen Fan asked Xiaowen about pink-grade buildings and the Heaven-Questioning Bell's upgrade, then finally fell asleep.
• On the Farmer Continent, the Continent Lord scolded his son Jiuer for mishandling Ten Thousand Nations Pay Homage and ordered Kuyi to offer the Mortal Domain two trillion Eerie Stones for information about the blueprint's effects.

Chen Fan revealed the effects of Ten Thousand Nations Pay Homage to the Farmer Continent, then listed copies of his Gold Grade Self-Created Building Blueprint, Night Tour, and earned thirty trillion Eerie Stones. He left the Farmer Continent struggling to buy a copy and found Li Kaixin convinced the falling Eerie Stones were an illusion.

• Chen Fan told the Farmer Continent that Ten Thousand Nations Pay Homage was a Banquet Hall and described its effects, while the Farmer Continent's Continent Lord inferred that Chen Fan had deciphered it without an exotic treasure.
• Chen Fan discovered he lacked access to list ordinary Building Blueprints, so he listed a Gold Grade Self-Created Building Blueprint for Night Tour instead.
• Buyers from several continents instantly purchased ten copies of Night Tour, raising the Mortal Domain's reserves to twenty-three trillion Eerie Stones and prompting Chen Fan to list five more.
• The Farmer Continent's Continent Lord asked Chen Fan to list another copy, but Chen Fan sold five more to other buyers before the Farmer Continent could secure one.
• Li Kaixin mistook the Eerie Stones raining behind Nameless Mountain for an illusion, and Chen Fan greeted him while asking Monkey whether they had upset him.

Chen Fan spent the Mortal Domain’s sudden Eerie Stone windfall upgrading the Eternal Night Defense Line to level 30, unlocking powerful effects and a legendary mutation. He then flooded the Building Blueprint Market with discounted Night Tour blueprints to earn more Eerie Stones, leaving other Continent Lords stunned by his aggressive sales.

• Chen Fan learned that upgrading the Eternal Night Defense Line to level 30 would cost 30.18 trillion Eerie Stones, consulted Xiaowen, and chose to proceed.
• The Eternal Night Defense Line consumed the Mortal Domain’s Eerie Stone reserves and reached level 30, lighting up the continent as Chen Fan selected upgrade paths that increased its hardness and unlocked the legendary Otherworld Kingdom mutation.
• Chen Fan sent Chen Jiutian to test the upgraded City Wall and its resistance to Mirage, then returned to the Life Workshop to sell more Night Tour blueprints.
• After the Farmer Continent advised Chen Fan to preserve Night Tour’s scarcity and trade it for rare materials, Chen Fan decided to sell many more copies for ordinary Eerie Stones.
• Chen Fan cut Night Tour’s price to one trillion Eerie Stones for successive limited promotions, triggering buying frenzies among Fourth-Level Continent Lords.
• The Farmer Continent’s middle-aged man watched the unprecedented sales and wondered why Chen Fan was treating Gold Grade blueprints like cheap goods.

Chen Fan used Night Tour sales to amass an enormous stockpile of Eerie Stones and launch the Mortal Domain into rapid expansion. After spending a month upgrading buildings, he began buying rare blueprints and ended the chapter purchasing Peach Blossom Garden.

• Chen Fan stopped selling Night Tour blueprints, explaining that scarcity would push hesitant buyers to purchase the next batch, and watched Eerie Stones rain down across the Mortal Domain.
• A Farmer Continent Lord regretted his son buying two Night Tour blueprints, while the Demon God Continent King ordered a useless gold-grade building blueprint to imitate the sales strategy.
• Chen Fan found Qian Xiaoping and the Research and Development Department working on new buildings as the Mortal Domain built lightning towers and underground chambers and stockpiled equipment.
• Chen Fan upgraded the Mortal Domain's buildings, tested a level-30 bridge's tiny chance to raise cultivation, and spent a month completing upgrades.
• Wang Mazi gave Hao Mao and the Sahara Continent Lord War Mire survival-time stones and one trillion Eerie Stones each, assigning them the Peace Continent and Garden Continent paths.
• Chen Fan bought the gold-grade Peach Blossom Garden blueprint for one trillion Eerie Stones.

Chen Fan spent heavily on Gold Grade and red-grade buildings, leaving the Mortal Domain with only two trillion Eerie Stone in reserve, just as another fourth-level continent headed toward the War Mire. Several rival continent lords plotted to seize Eternal Night’s wealth, and Chen Fan prepared to resume selling Night Tour as the approaching threat was reported.

• Chen Fan bought nine Gold Grade Building Blueprints, including Peach Blossom Garden, Unbreakable, Knowing the Mountain Has Tigers, Heaven's Blessing, Moth to Flame, and Peace Dove Cage.
• A lord of the Excellence Continent planned to use Heavenly Retrotrace to expose Chen Fan’s past year and attack while Eternal Night was distracted.
• A different fourth-level continent approached Eternal Night with Scales, a building that could swap the two continents’ Eerie-Stone reserves, and its lord planned to use it after ten years of cooldown.
• Tian Ce showed Chen Fan ledgers revealing that his upgrades and purchases had reduced the Mortal Domain’s reserves to two trillion Eerie Stone.
• Chen Fan decided to sell Night Tour again to rebuild the reserve, but Chen Jiutian warned him that a fourth-level continent was heading toward their War Mire.

Chen Fan saw through Falcon Continent’s attempt to lure the Eternal Night Continent into taking a devastating Sky-Piercing Pillar, then used Signal Tower Mutation to redirect its shot toward the Bit Continent. Falcon Continent’s attack triggered a balance that exchanged the two continents’ eerie stones, leaving Chen Fan and his allies stunned by how straightforward their opponent’s plan had been.

• Chen Fan learned that the approaching Falcon Continent’s Scales building could launch a Balance Sky-Piercing Pillar and suspected its supposed reception message concealed an attack.
• Chen Fan ordered the Eternal Night Continent and the Bit Continent to leave the War Mire together, while the Falcon Continent’s leader decided to fire a Balance Sky-Piercing Pillar and launch an all-out war.
• An elderly leader of the Fool’s Continent studied a chart showing the Eternal Night Continent’s extraordinary potential and resolved to befriend it quickly.
• Chen Fan used the Dark Technology Detector to discover Falcon Continent’s limited military technology and redirected its incoming Sky-Piercing Pillar from the Eternal Night Continent to the Bit Continent.
• The redirected projectile activated a balance that exchanged Falcon Continent’s and the Bit Continent’s eerie stones, astonishing Chen Fan and his allies.
• Li Kaixin questioned whether the falling eerie stones were real, and Chen Fan ordered him sent back to the Cautious Continent to recover.
