• Wayne arranged black, white, green, and red dragons to spell Goodness Home above the city entrance, while visitors marveled at the display.
• An Kai recognized that the major factions were stalling on ransom payments until the Divine Court’s restrictions lifted, and he used the delay to develop his own plans.

After four and a half years of waiting, the [Divine Court] barrier began to tremble, while An Kai’s power reached the peak of Tier Five and [Goodness Home] grew into a wealthy, multiracial city. As its residents grew anxious about the barrier opening and outside factions gathered, An Kai prepared to break through to Tier Six but was interrupted by a system notification.

• The Immortality Organization leader learned that the [Divine Court] barrier was close to opening and regained his confidence as Tier Eight leaders of major factions gathered around him.
