Arc 4Escape from Base Nine
Dongguan mastered the Sea Light Art, uncovered the truth about Meng Jin, and became entangled in the Real Person Society’s plans while serving in the Vanguard Camp. After resisting Omken and escaping the battle at Base 9, he headed through a dark storm toward a travel point.
- Tuoleiwu threatened Kyoto Base City, but Zhang Gui used the Zerg Mother Nest to stall him and later killed him with Life-and-Death Embers.
- Dongguan trained in the Golden Ocean, advanced through the Sea Light Art, and inscribed its patterns into his Mental Space before discovering the cavern’s hidden azure lake and transforming after witnessing the giant bird.
- At the end of the Sacred Land selection, Dongguan concealed his wish to escape Nihemo’s control and was assigned to investigate the Real Person Society with Ze.
- Dongguan refused the Slave Chip required for the Ever-Advancing Army and joined the Vanguard Camp, where Bu Ji led his squad to investigate dangerous activity near Base 9.
- Dongguan helped Bu Ji’s squad defeat the Noren Family attackers, then recognized Meng Jin at Base No. 9 and secretly gathered information about the Real Person Society’s planned attack on Nihemo.
- Omken and Xing Gui tried to ensnare Dongguan, but he resisted Omken’s Soul Enslavement, exposed Xing Gui as an insider, and escaped in disguise.
- As the Real Person Society and the Noren Family moved against Base 9, Dongguan secretly saved Bu Ji from four Domain Lords and fled through a Spatial Passage in the Qiongluo Ship toward a nearby dark storm.
