He sent the Dark Tide east to test them, only to find a bizarre battle between Player Race Members, Combat Zerg, and purple-skinned imitations of the Dark Tide System.

The Lord of Bliss assessed new locations for the Elysium Legion’s testing ground and reflected on his long-term ambition to contend for the summit of Monster World.

General Ye Ming revived the Mingwu Race and reclaimed its fallen warriors, then faced a Champion Fighter from the Ancient God Race in a probing battle. After a giant arm rescued the defeated fighter, Ye Ming and the emperor recognized a greater threat ahead, while A Lan feared the Mingwu Race’s return would force the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce to close.

General Yeming agreed to trade with the Chamber, and A Lan then asked the Mingwu Race to stop plundering the Azure Star Sea.

• As the Mingwu Race began invading the Azure Star Sea, A Lan studied its history and concluded that its reliance on pillaging could make it a customer of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce.
• A Lan repeatedly teleported to Mistveil Island and was killed by Mingwu warriors until Shi Gu ordered them to stand down and brought him before General Yeming.

• A Lan asked the Mingwu Race to stop plundering and killing across the Azure Star Sea, and Shi Gu objected that the race needed plundered resources.

A Lan persuaded Ye Ming to shift the Mingwu Race’s expansion in the Azure Star Sea toward collecting tribute from valuable races rather than plundering them outright, while the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce arranged protection and resource management. The agreement was finalized with a ten-percent commission, as players flocked to the sea to fight Mingwu warriors and A Lan invited Ye Ming to an upcoming auction.

• Merchant ships from several races arrived at Dream Island, where A Lan’s Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce coordinated trade and prepared anonymous Bidding Devices for the auction.

• Ye Ming warned A Lan that the Mingwu Race could take what it wanted, but A Lan challenged him to try seizing something from the Player Race, and Ye Ming flew away.

Ye Ming gathered resources to resume bidding on the Rule Fragment, which he ultimately won for 87 million gold coins. A Lan challenged him to test the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce’s strength by delivering the fragment safely to Mistveil Island within three days.

• Ye Ming accepted A Lan’s wager and left Dream Island.

• Big Slacker used a Shadow Manipulation Body to disguise himself as a Mingwu warrior, followed a damaged patrol squad onto Mistveil Island, and received the Rule Fragment from his teammates.
• Ye Ming received the Rule Fragment and learned that a disguised player had infiltrated the island, then confronted A Lan when he arrived through rule-level teleportation.
• A Lan and Ye Ming acknowledged that both sides had tested each other, and Ye Ming conceded the wager and agreed to cooperate with the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce.
• A Lan vanished without detectable spatial disturbance, leaving Ye Ming to realize that the chamber’s capabilities exceeded what he had seen.
