• Dark Crow told Lu Ran that Black Tortoise was in the Dragon Palace and had grown stronger, with a purer dragon bloodline.

As the Twelve Branches debated how to protect the country without surrendering, Manager Ying offered to awaken its true body and fight the dragon.

• After Lin Nian returned and asked whether Manager Ying’s true body could fight the dragon, Manager Ying proposed that Xia Country devote its resources to awakening it, and Lu Ran asked to strengthen his own Pet Beast army as well.

As Xia Country prepared to confront the Black Dragon King, Lu Ran argued that Dark Crow’s expanding crow legion could counter the Dragon Palace’s forces, while Manager Ying revealed she could seal even powerful enemies. The group then planned to awaken the Divine Deer through faith or use its antler to locate it, as Dark Crow began recruiting crows nationwide.

• Lu Ran explained Dark Crow’s scouting and legion potential, and Lin Nian agreed to seek Twelve Branches approval for resources to strengthen it.

• Lu Ran lifted Dark Crow’s territorial restrictions and ordered it to recruit strong transcendent crows across Xia Country within a day.
• Manager Ying and Gu Qingyi discussed finding the Divine Deer with its antler and increasing its faith, while Lu Ran proposed having General Ha pose as the Divine Deer and act as a battlefield healer if they could not find it.

After Xia Country publicized its guardian deities, a surge of faith strengthened the deer spirits in Lujia Village, allowing some to leave the village. Lu Ran watched for signs of the Divine Deer and trained his pets while Gu Qingyi reported that the Fishmen Empire had sent an envoy to seek an alliance.

• The Xia Country Alliance revealed the Iron-Eating Beast Guardian Deity, the Crane Guardian Deity, and the Divine Deer Guardian Deity, and named Lu Ran and Lujia Village as part of the Divine Deer's legacy.

• Gu Qingyi told Lu Ran that the Fishmen Empire had sent an offspring ashore to seek cooperation, and Lu Ran wondered whether the envoy was the Fishmen Prince who had abducted the old turtle in Green Sea City.

Lu Ran confronted the Fishmen Prince about Black Tortoise’s abduction and learned that the turtle had been captured by the Dragon Palace. The prince offered a Nine-Colored Meteorite Fragment as compensation, and Lu Ran accepted it before bringing the fragment to the Ruins Space for Sudden Death King to study.

• Gu Qingyi told Lu Ran that the Fishmen Empire wanted an alliance and a marriage or contract with the Merfolk princess, but Lu Ran asked her to question the Fishmen Prince about Black Tortoise instead.
• Gu Qingyi confronted the Fishmen Prince, who explained that he had recruited Black Tortoise and strengthened him with resources before the Dragon Palace captured him.
• The Fishmen Prince offered Lu Ran a Nine-Colored Meteorite Fragment, and Gu Qingyi identified it as a treasure that could let a Pet Beast's growth increase without limit.
• Lu Ran agreed not to blame the Fishmen Prince and accepted the fragment, while promising to help replace the Black Dragon King and return Black Tortoise to his role as turtle chancellor.
• A white feathered dragon delivered the fragment to Lu Ran, who entered the Ruins Space so Sudden Death King could study it and possibly learn the Meteor Artistic Conception.
