• Yi Tian offered Alice a contract to help her become stronger, and she signed it despite fearing that she could not accept power beyond the abyss’s corruption.

Yi Tian recruited Alice, whose Blade Queen class and Void Walker template gave her extraordinary power and the ability to travel between dungeon spaces. Alice pledged loyalty to Yi Tian, then explained that raising her monster rank could strengthen Void Traversal, prompting him to send her after the Other Races and Dragonkin in Yagu Dynasty dungeons.

• Alice changed class into the hidden Blade Queen and gained the Void Walker monster template, while Yi Tian recruited her and received her shared abilities and stats.

• Alice realized she could sense Yi Tian through their Boss-employee connection, and he promised to guide her to Other Races' dungeons.
• Yi Tian learned that the Sky Isle Realm had mutated and sealed itself, trapping its resource workers and a pioneering team inside.

• Jiang Yuan Shuang and Bai Qiuli watched Yi Tian enter and wondered how powerful he was.

Yi Tian entered the sealed Sky Isle Realm with Alice and fought through Void Insects to reach Ye Xiu, Jiang Che, and the trapped miners. Outside, Wei Yuan learned that the Void Insect Mother was behind the lockdown and demanded two small secret realms in exchange for help.

• Yi Tian used Void Traversal to enter the Sky Isle Realm and summoned Alice to accompany him.
• Alice wiped out swarms of low-tier Void Insects as she and Yi Tian crossed the floating islands.
• Yi Tian found Ye Xiu, Jiang Che, their companions, and dozens of miners fighting two level 40 Void Insect elites; Alice attacked the elites while Ye Xiu warned that the Void Insect Race had destroyed Han Country and was targeting Great Xia.
• Ye Xiu explained that Void Insects could invade dungeons while parasites could possess creatures with weak mental power, and Yi Tian wondered whether the insects' abilities were connected to Alice's Void Traversal.
• A parasite possessed Wei Yuan's driver and delivered the Void Insect Mother's offer: the race would help free the trapped humans and enable mining in exchange for two small secret realms.

Yi Tian entered the sealed Sky Isle Realm, where Alice killed the Void Insect elites and advanced into an Elite Boss with authority to restrict escape. After she slaughtered the remaining insects and the secret realm reopened, Yi Tian sent her toward the Yagu Dynasty.

• Yi Tian left the secret realm after instructing Alice to wait for his summons, and Jiang Yuan Shuang and Bai Qiuli watched as Ye Xiu, Jiang Che, and the extraction team emerged safely.

• Yi Tian asked Wei Yuan to take him into a dungeon controlled by the Yagu Dynasty, and Wei Yuan agreed.

• Wei Yuan explained that Great Xia's border troops and the Yagu Dynasty competed in dungeon speedruns and placed bets.
• Yi Tian met Wan Jiang, who revealed his newly acquired transcendent physique, and then volunteered to enter the dungeon.

• Yedela entered the dungeon, encountered Alice waiting at the entrance, and realized she was a powerful boss.

Alice killed three challengers who entered the level 35 dungeon, then defeated the Royal Dragonkin Nos after transforming into her Dark War God form. Absorbing Nos's experience advanced her monster template to Lord Boss, and she credited Yi Tian for her rapid progress.

• Wei Yuan sensed that Jiang Yuan Shuang and Bai Qiuli were under attack by the Godfall Cult and warned Yi Tian that Bai Qiuli was a target because of her achievements.

Alice joined Yi Tian’s meeting from a dungeon, bringing dragon marrow crystals and a Dragon Ancestor's Secret Realm token after killing Nos. The Godfall Cult was nearly wiped out by Jiang Yuan Shuang, and Wei Yuan agreed to help forge two Legendary accessories as the Race Championship selection approached.

• Yi Tian used the meeting to protect his employees and introduced Alice, who could locate colleagues in dungeons and offer help against prey.
• Alice gave Yi Tian Nos’s loot: thirty dragon marrow crystals and a Dragon Ancestor's Secret Realm token, bringing Yi Tian’s total to forty crystals.

After reviewing his employees’ achievements and funds, Yi Tian traveled with Wan Jiang, Jiang Che, and Ye Xiu to Xingcheng for East China’s Race Championship selection. Wei Yuan gave Yi Tian authority to choose all five competitors, and Yi Tian challenged the gathered officials to defeat his people in even one match or leave the selection rules to him.
