• Ye Fei drew his Wind-Thunder Divine Bow, and the Lie Feng Mountain Master recognized the divine artifact and retreated in fear.

Ye Fei and Jun Mo led Free and Unrestrained Mountain against Lie Feng Mountain, using Ye Fei’s Divine Artifact and the beasts to overwhelm the enemy. After testing the shield’s energy absorption and deadly counterattack, Ye Fei charged into the fleeing players, leaving Queen as a target.

Ye Fei and his allies crushed Lie Feng Mountain’s conquest attempt, then looted its territory with the Queen’s expanding Life Tree. After checking on Huahua, who had overeaten while defending their home, Ye Fei learned that Xu Ming’s growing influence and strange aura were becoming a danger.

• The Queen and the Life Tree killed enough Lie Feng Mountain players to end their conquest battle, earning Free and Unrestrained Mountain victory rewards and a chance to loot.

• Xu Ming privately asked Ye Fei to join the Race War, while Lu Heng warned Ye Fei that Xu Ming had pressured him to join Human Heart City and now seemed abnormal.

Lu Heng escaped Xu Ming’s attempt to draw him into Human Heart City, while Ye Fei recognized that the Human Race’s infighting was driven by leaders competing for faith. Long Heng and the Thunder God agreed to disrupt the contest by openly returning all faith they received, and Long Heng left Ye Fei anticipating that they would recruit others.

• Ye Fei noticed that the God of Light and Dark God seemed unusually close and wondered if they shared the same origin.

Ye Fei received Divine-grade gifts from the Dark God while Long Heng revealed that he was bound to Ye Fei as a guardian. As rumors spread that Free and Unrestrained Mountain belonged to the Human Race Faction, Ye Fei made his first World Channel post nearly five hundred days after entering the world.

• Ye Fei checked his Identity Tag and posted his first sentence in the World Channel.

Ye Fei spent 1,000 battle points on ten special effect draws and enhanced Free and Unrestrained Mountain’s faction bonuses. As the gods opened their faith systems and players began switching allegiances, Long Heng kept his believers with the Thunder God for now while Lu Heng chose faith in the Wind God as a potential escape from danger.

• Ye Fei posted that Free and Unrestrained Mountain would not take responsibility for race or faith wars beyond its territory and invited factions to challenge it.
• Ye Fei used 1,000 battle points for ten special effect draws, activated the cards he could use, and stored the remaining cards in the faction warehouse.
• The newly activated bonuses increased Free and Unrestrained Mountain’s energy, planting, breeding, defense, fortuitous encounter, and range effects, surprising Lingbo and the other gods.
• After the gods opened their faith systems, more than a hundred million players switched faith, and believers gained panels showing their faith-point balances and transactions.
• Lin Mu asked Long Heng if he could switch back to the Wind God, but Long Heng told him to remain with the Thunder God until the fighting ended.
• Lu Heng chose faith in the Wind God so Long Heng could potentially pull him to safety if he neared death.

Ye Fei learned that Free and Unrestrained Mountain had received no conquest challenges because few members were eligible and its enemies had been eliminated. The Heavenly Court then declared a Faction Conquest Battle, which Ye Fei accepted after learning the Heavenly Emperor intended to send players and resources rather than start a real fight.

• Long Heng complained that Lu Heng had used him as a lifesaving tool god, but rejected Ye Fei’s suggestion to demand worship and incense.
• Ye Fei discovered that only he and Jun Mo could enter challenge matches during the free-for-all stage, while the Fire God noted that Free and Unrestrained Mountain could launch conquest battles itself.

• Long Heng gave up on fighting the Heavenly Emperor after Ye Fei said there would be no fight and Long Heng considered the risk of Feng An learning to beat children.

The Heavenly Emperor brought the Thunder God and a force of players into a Conquest Battle against Free and Unrestrained Mountain, intending to turn defeat into a profitable scheme. The Queen began gathering materials on the battlefield while the Heavenly Emperor anticipated using the loss to attract more battles, and the Thunder God planned to seek help from the Underworld next.

• The Heavenly Emperor arrived in the Faction War Space with food and the aggrieved Thunder God, then urged the Queen to kill the players before his Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.
• The Queen thanked the Heavenly Emperor for delivering materials and went ahead to fight, sending Jun Mo and Long Heng back.
• The Heavenly Emperor explained that he recruited players to strengthen his forces, monitored them through material exchanges, and sent unsuitable players into battle as expendable troops.
• Ye Fei realized that the Heavenly Emperor expected defeat to bring more Conquest Battle challenges, letting the Heavenly Court profit from later attackers.
• The Thunder God decided to ask the Nether Lord for help after the battle, giving the Underworld a reason to bring materials to Free and Unrestrained Mountain.

The Heavenly Emperor conceded and left, and Free and Unrestrained Mountain reached faction level 8 after the Queen supplied the remaining prosperity. Ye Fei and Feng An tested whether they could expand the faction’s territory themselves, discovered the added area had thinner energy, and planned to reach level 9 before investigating the level 10 restriction.

• The Heavenly Emperor conceded, returned home, and left Free and Unrestrained Mountain with several hundred million more prosperity and core energy.
• The Queen converted branches to cover the prosperity shortfall, then told Ye Fei to upgrade the faction while she went to find more materials.
• Ye Fei upgraded Free and Unrestrained Mountain to level 8, expanding its sphere of influence, and Feng An sent Long Heng to deal with unidentified creatures.
• Ye Fei suggested that Feng An could expand the faction’s protected area manually, and Feng An tested the idea by extending the boundary a hundred thousand meters.
• Ye Fei and Feng An found that the manually added territory had thinner energy concentration, so Feng An stopped expanding and left to gather materials for level 9.
• Long Heng arrived after Feng An had left without him and angrily messaged Feng An for leaving him out.

Ye Fei confronted Xu Ming over using human lives to build his own power, and Xu Ming unfriended him after defending his push for human unity. Ye Fei and the others chose to stay out of the human infighting and wait for the Race Melee to unfold.

• Xu Ming warned Ye Fei that Lu Heng was in danger and that his area would become a battlefield, but Ye Fei believed Long Heng’s protection would keep him safe.

• Ye Fei told Long Heng about the exchange, and Long Heng mocked Xu Ming’s pursuit of human faith and leadership.
• Lingbo said she would not join the human fighting, and Ye Fei decided to wait for the conflict to play out while pursuing the materials he needed to reach level 9.

After Underworld’s failed conquest, Ye Fei learned that the Nether Lord’s parting words hinted the ongoing free-for-all would soon end as the races consolidated and paused their fighting. At home, Lingbo brought a feast cooked by the Dragon God, while the Queen reflected on Fan taking his sister into battle without asking her first.

• Underworld’s conquest battle against Free and Unrestrained Mountain ended in defeat, costing Underworld players and faction resources while rewarding Ye Fei’s faction.

• Elf God Fan returned to take food for its buffs, and the Queen explained that he had used his sister on the battlefield without first asking her; she planned to correct him later.

After the leaderboards exposed Xu Ming and another Human Race city lord for hoarding faith power, Human Race players turned against them, and the faction soon collapsed under attacks from other races. Lu Heng returned to Free and Unrestrained Mountain after fighting to the end and detonating a formation that could cripple the enemy Race Gods.

• After the Race War and Faith War began, Ye Fei and Jun Mo stayed on Free and Unrestrained Mountain while the races fought for over a month.

• Jun Mo foresaw the Human Race's collapse, and within half a month its players were nearly wiped out by the combined attacks of several races.
• Long Heng used prepared divine power to bring the wounded Lu Heng back to Free and Unrestrained Mountain after Lu Heng detonated a formation against the enemy Race Gods.

Ye Fei explained to Lu Heng how the Race War and coming God War would cull players, while Lu Heng struggled with the injustice of their situation. He declared that he would oppose anyone trying to destroy the world because he was on the World Rules' side.

• Ye Fei noted that Lu Heng had risen to first place on the Human Race leaderboard after killing six Race Gods, while Xu Ming remained third by hiding.
• Lu Heng asked Ye Fei whether the Race War required factions to fall below three hundred players to leave, and Ye Fei explained that the God War would begin when fewer than thirty races remained.

Ye Fei reassured her that Spirit’s presence made the mountain safe, while he and Lingbo prepared allies and checked on Huahua’s coming ascension.

• Lingbo brought Baby to Ye Fei’s Home and asked Long Heng about the coming God War, while Long Heng said the remaining race battles were buying the gods time to prepare.
• Lingbo revealed that some gods had invited her to join a plan to defy heaven, and she was unsure whether to reject them openly.

• Lingbo asked whether Free and Unrestrained Mountain could withstand a siege by hundreds or thousands of gods, and Ye Fei pointed to Spirit, who had gone too long without a full meal.
• Lingbo arranged for Thunder God and Gold God to come and asked Thunder God to bring Lin Mu and Lin Xian back, while Ye Fei messaged them and left to check on Huahua before her breakthrough.

Ye Fei visited Huahua at the Free and Unrestrained Mountain, where the young Wood God was staying to protect her during the coming God War. The Wood God revealed that Ye Fei had become part of the world rather than merely a player, and they discussed why Human Race players blamed Ye Fei for refusing to protect them.

• Huahua greeted Ye Fei, who sat with her and the young Wood God and asked him to protect her during the God War.
• The young Wood God said Ye Fei and his Little Dragon were the only players he knew who belonged to This World, and he predicted that surviving players would eventually transform too.
• Ye Fei said he loved the world because it had given him what he wanted, and that he wanted to protect what he cared about.
• The young Wood God asked about Ye Fei's bad reputation, and Ye Fei explained that Human Race players cursed him because they could seek protection from gods but could not get benefits from him.
• The young Wood God realized that players who became followers of gods could die in the God War if their gods were unable or unwilling to protect them.

As the God War approached, Lin Mu and Lin Xian chose to teach cultivation in the Worker Area rather than join a battle beyond their strength. Ye Fei gathered with the Thunder God, the Gold God, and the others, reassuring them that they would survive as Feng An brought food and warned that the war would begin soon.

• The Thunder God returned Lin Mu and Lin Xian to Free and Unrestrained Mountain, where he cut off Lin Mu's faith protection and scolded him for wanting to use it before the God War.

• A universal announcement gave players thirty minutes to make final choices before the God War, including whether to merge with the world and enter the God King Contest.
• Long Heng turned off his faith, while Ye Fei, Lingbo, Fan, and the other gods discussed their settings and declined to compete for the God King position.
