• The Fire God recounted how the Dragon Race rampaged across maps, prompting the gods to hunt them and the Dragon God to take Heavenly Punishment in their place.

Ye Fei told the Queen and Lingbo that Lingyan was resting after renovating his home, while his vague description of the work led them to suspect he had helped merge the Greater Worlds. At Lingyan’s home, Fire Dance played with the others as Lingyan explained why the Dragon Race could not safely ask the rules for help.

• The Queen asked Ye Fei where Huang Yu was, and Ye Fei relayed that Senior Lingyan was resting at home after renovations and would bring gifts later.

After the worlds merged, Ye Fei learned that the new Wood God was a Divine Tree rather than a player and had hidden away after claiming the Divine Position. Feng An visited Ye Fei, then went to Lingyan’s Home with Long Heng, while Lingyan appeared beside Ye Fei and left him wondering whether her appearance was connected to the Dragon Race.

• Feng An told Ye Fei that the new Wood God was a tree who had supported the former Empty Island Region and had disappeared after attaining the Divine Position.

• Lingyan appeared beside Ye Fei and offered him a joke purchase screen for a contract that could bind Feng An as a pet.
• Ye Fei rejected the offer and asked Lingyan what brought her there, wondering whether her appearance had anything to do with the Dragon Race.

• Ye Fei entered Senior Lingyan’s home, gave Lingyan the Heavenly Generals Seal, and went to find Qingxue and the others.
• Lingyan and his lookalike discussed the lookalike’s test of whether the Human Race could accept a Race God, and agreed to use their chess game to decide the next stage.

• Ye Fei sent one fruit to Senior Lingyan and gave the other to Qingxue, then fed her an Immortal Spirit Advancement Pill.
• Qingxue began advancing as her fur fell out and grew back, leaving Ye Fei unsure what kind of tribulation she was undergoing.

• Ye Fei carried both sleepy pets onward while continuing to search for Eclipse Moon and Phantom Spirit.

• Feng An reflected on Lingyan’s care for Ye Fei and recalled that Lingyan had said Ye Fei had no other identity.

Ye Fei reunited with Phantom Spirit and Feimeng after they evolved, then rested by a lake while his pets played and Eclipse Moon hatched. Lingyan arrived with a Golden Kitten, looking as if something had gone wrong.

After a chess game ended in a draw, Lingyan told Ye Fei that the rules intended to combine a race war and a god war and wanted Ye Fei to test how people would respond. Ye Fei refused and was sent home to cultivate, while the rules prepared gifts and a stronger thunder tribulation for him.

• Lingyan explained that his chess game with the rules had ended in a draw, but the rules planned to start both a race war and a god war anyway.
• Ye Fei reasoned that the rules wanted him to experience people's hearts, then refused because he had no interest in getting involved.
• The rules asked whether Ye Fei's refusal counted as running away, and Ye Fei said he was being willful because Lingyan protected him and the rules indulged him.
• Lingyan sent Ye Fei and his household home to cultivate, warning that his Artifact Refining Furnace was upset and the divine artifact would not be completed otherwise.
• The rules said Ye Fei needed a thunder tribulation to advance, strengthened it to improve his spiritual root, prepared gifts, and invited Lingyan to watch.

Ye Fei returned to find that sixty years had passed for his companions while he was away for only a month, thanks to Senior Huang Yu’s intervention. As the divine artifacts in his furnace neared completion, he sent everyone home, sealed off the Courtyard, and entered the furnace as it expanded and began a long cycle of falling and regrowing leaves.

• Ye Fei entered the enlarged Artifact Refining Furnace, which expanded beyond a hundred meters as Flame Tree Leaves fell, regrew, and fell again.

As gods and Players moved to seize the gear, Ye Fei calmly absorbed the tribulation’s energy, while its humble appearance concealed astonishing attributes.

• Feng An warned the Queen that Players and gods might try to seize Ye Fei’s Divine Gear, and explained that he needed to guard against gods who might turn on Ye Fei for it.

• Feng An chased after Ye Fei, while gods and Players split into groups to break into Free and Unrestrained Mountain or pursue the gear in the sky.
• Above Cloud Summit, Ye Fei sat calmly inside the Heavenly Thunder, Earth Fire, and Astral Wind Tribulations, absorbing their energy through the Artifact Spirit.

Lingyan and his senior departed for the coming chaotic battle, while Ye Fei returned to Free and Unrestrained Mountain after more than three hundred years had passed there.

• Ye Fei checked his new immortal abilities, discovered his Immortal Qi and Immortal Power, and wondered why he had not entered the god-level stage.

After two months of managing threats and gathering resources, the Queen urged Ye Fei to upgrade Free and Unrestrained Mountain and prepare equipment for its members.

Feng An reported that players from other spaces were joining the world as racial or faith-based groups, and Ye Fei learned that Xu Ming was pursuing power through the faith of the Human Race.
