• Chen Fan inspected the pink-grade Seven Wilds Blade, ordered Wang Kui to store it, and moved the Mortal Domain away after Zhong Yi warned that its location might be exposed.

The Strange Entity Clan's hidden elite forces launched a surprise attack on the Mortal Domain, vastly exceeding the strength Yun Du had reported. Chen Fan activated the Mortal Domain's reserves and summoned the Demon King as the enemy forces charged, leaving the battle poised to begin.

• Chen Fan learned that Thousand Night had renamed his clan after Shiqi, while Qi An worried that the Mortal Domain trusted Yun Du more than him.
• The Strange Entity Clan's level 90 elites suddenly approached the Mortal Domain, and Chen Fan ordered the First Plan, East Wind Unleashes a Thousand Blossoms at Night, activated.
• The Mortal Domain unleashed thousands of Continent Auras, drew the permanent seven-colored aura Divine Ember, and summoned the peak King of the Demon Clan with the Divine Descent Token.
• Fei Yu ordered the approaching forces to charge, but Wan Gui doubted they could win; Thousand Night used the Hades Needle and drove the Strange Entity Clan forward to avenge Shiqi.
• Hell's Gate opened above the Mortal Domain, and tens of thousands of Heaven-Deriving Sky-Piercing Pillars launched toward the enemy as Chen Fan prepared for the battle.

Chen Fan used Hell's Gate to bombard the advancing Strange Entity Clan elites, whose Shield Mountain Wraiths held their formation with Hades Needles and sacrifice. As Mortal Domain prepared another million volleys and reinforcements approached, the Strange Tide continued charging toward the city.

• Chen Fan opened fire with Level-80 Heaven-Deriving Sky-Piercing Pillars, but Level-90 Shield Mountain Wraiths joined their shields into a barrier and withstood the first barrage.
• The Jade Pivot Screen detected multiple Level 90+ threats, while the demon summoned by Divine Descent remained motionless above Mortal Domain.
• The Extinction Demon Emperor and a Wraith King followed the battle, and the Wraith King fled when he learned Hades was approaching before resuming his report on the Strange Tide's Pulse-Style Charge.
• Wan Gui secretly injected Shield Mountain Wraiths with Hades Needles and pretended to inject himself, strengthening their defenses while concealing that he had used black sesame paste.
• A Level 90+ Shield Mountain Wraith broke formation, destroyed several incoming pillars with his shield, and died; Crippled Monkey then considered naming the battle after him.
• Chen Fan saw the Strange Tide's defenses falter and launched another million volleys as Zhong Yi told him reinforcements were nearly there.

The Mortal Domain’s demon annihilated the Strange Entity Clan’s level 90+ attackers, and Chen Fan led a pursuit that turned their assault into a rout. With the Eternal Night Continent temporarily anchored, the Floating Cloud Continent towed it into the fleeing forces while the demon continued striking them, leaving the Mortal Domain’s victory watched in awe across the battlefield.

• Zhong Yi and observers across the Human Race watched as the Mortal Domain unleashed overwhelming firepower against the Strange Entity Clan’s elite force.
• Wan Gui fled the battlefield as Thousand Night and more than forty level 90+ Strange Entities charged the Mortal Domain’s wall.
• The demon unleashed a crimson spear strike that killed every level 90+ Strange Entity and shattered the attackers’ formation.
• Chen Fan ordered a pursuit, and the Floating Cloud Continent towed the anchored Eternal Night Continent into the fleeing elites, where the demon’s attacks killed more of them.
• Zhong Yi kept reinforcements in position as the observers recognized the Mortal Domain’s victory, while Qi An and Yun Du reflected on Chen Fan’s strength.

After the Mortal Domain topped the Faction Merit Points Leaderboard, Chen Fan spent its Merit Points on a custom seven-colored halo and discovered he could enter long keywords through his Endless Night Lord Panel. The halo began forming amid thunder heard across the Boundary Battlefield and beyond, while Fei Yu vowed the Strange Entity Clan still had reserves and its real fight had only begun.

• Chen Fan rejected rewinding time to reclaim the Divine Descent Token and saw the Mortal Domain reach 110.7 billion Merit Points, far ahead of the other human continents.
• Chen Fan and his advisers debated buying one custom seven-colored halo or eleven random ones, until Long Live pointed out that the Merit Shop might not limit keyword length.
• Chen Fan found that the Life Workshop imposed a character limit but his Endless Night Lord Panel did not, and the group prepared three elaborate keywords for the custom halo.
• Chen Fan spent 100 billion Merit Points on the custom halo, entered the keywords, and triggered a creation process that filled the Boundary Battlefield and other realms with thunder.
• Fei Yu’s forces reported heavy losses from the Mortal Domain’s attack, and Fei Yu realized too late that the Strange Entity Clan could have retreated until Hades arrived.
• Fei Yu dismissed Sky Patrol’s criticism and declared that the Strange Entity Clan still had reserves and that its real fight with the Human Race had only begun.

After the Strange Entity Clan’s failed raid, Wan Gui fled with Sanqi and escaped into a vast, unknown secret base, while Fei Yu remained in command. Sanqi realized he was stranded with Wan Gui and could not send word back to the Mortal Domain.

• Wan Gui urged the weakened Sky Patrol to remove Fei Yu, while Sanqi, secretly working for the Mortal Domain, decided to keep Fei Yu in command.
• Sanqi falsely told Fei Yu that Wan Gui had gone to the Bit District, prompting Fei Yu to bring Hades’ Guard to Sky Patrol’s residence and accuse Sky Patrol and Wan Gui of plotting to surrender.
• Wan Gui injected himself with what he called Wan Gui Needles, seized Sanqi, and escaped after Hades’ Guard chose not to pursue them.
• Wan Gui looted a warehouse and used Sanqi’s messenger authorization to enter a Void Earthworm, carrying him beyond the Strange Entity Clan’s territory.
• Wan Gui took Sanqi through a Space Rift into an enormous empty secret base, where Sanqi wondered whether he could ever return home.

Wan Gui and Sanqi settled into Wan Gui’s hidden refuge, where Wan Gui renamed Sanqi Four Five Six and explained that the pair could never leave once the Dark Upheaval began. As the Human Race and Strange Entity Clan prepared for the next decisive clash, Fei Yu struggled to rally the Strange Entity Clan’s forces while Hades pursued Heavenly Punishment Continent and questioned whether its superweapon was real.

• Wan Gui unpacked supplies from his Storage Bag, prepared black sesame paste, and renamed Sanqi Four Five Six after recounting a lucky casino win.
• Wan Gui explained that his underwater secret base became impossible to leave once the Dark Upheaval began, and Sanqi described sleeping with his back to a wall as his own childhood refuge.
• Wan Gui revealed that he had hidden three Hades Needles among hundreds of sesame-paste-filled needles, while Sanqi swallowed the paste and asked what a Hades Needle tasted like.
• Chen Fan learned that Sanqi had vanished beyond Jiu Wu’s perception and suspected that he had gone somewhere like Green Edge and Qian Jue.
• Hades pursued the damaged Heavenly Punishment Continent, questioned whether Zhao Tianfa truly possessed a superweapon, and sensed the Demon Clan’s King near the Strange Entity Clan.
• Fei Yu challenged Hades’ Guard to join the front lines and threatened to mobilize the reserves, while the guard captain left to consider the demand and Fei Yu wrote and discarded a poem about the clan’s failing fortunes.

As the Human Race’s encirclement neared completion, the Strange Entity Clan launched a final assault against Command Post No. 002. Zhong Yi activated Yuheng Becomes Void, allowing Jade Pivot to coordinate continent-wide ranged fire as Chen Fan’s Mortal Domain began its assigned bombardment.

• Chen Fan received an emergency order to reinforce a distant defensive position as the Strange Entity Clan committed its remaining forces to a final attack.
• Fei Yu explained that he had chosen a direct assault on Command Post No. 002’s sea domain and had spent nearly all the clan’s Eerie Stones producing Giant Wraiths.
• A force led by Hades’ Guard advanced toward Ordinary Continent, where Command Post No. 002 was stationed, while the human defenses failed to stop it.
• Zhong Yi activated Yuheng Becomes Void, and Yuheng handed its duties to Jade Pivot before ceasing operation.
• Jade Pivot ordered the eighth- and ninth-level human continents to fire coordinated long-range strikes at the advancing Strange Tide.
• Chen Fan’s Mortal Domain fired exactly one hundred thousand Level-80 Heaven-Deriving Sky-Piercing Pillars through Hell’s Gate.
