Yang Xiu searched for a safe place for the Life Soul Squad and found Little Mage’s plan to build an Independent Space as a more reliable path to survival. He decided to seek an alliance with Little Mage and sent him a friend request.
Yang Xiu contacted Little Mage and arranged for the Life Soul Squad to leave the Barren Hills for safety. After arriving in Spirit Breath City, the squad found a new home, while Yang Xiu prepared to return to the village and access his long-sealed Main Account.
Yang Xiu dissolved his Death Space character, returned to his main in Emperor Tomb Village, and bought supplies and materials for Little Mage and the Spirit Breath Race. After exchanging scrolls and resources with Little Mage, he left the village and teleported back to Spirit Breath City, choosing its future over his old life with the Divine Hall Guild.
Qi Sheng assessed A Le’s rise to godhood and the evolving projects of the Elysium Legion, while Di Nian Evil Spirit forced an alliance member to take his place in the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range so he could escape the fighting. The chapter left Di Nian enjoying a peaceful new post on the Heavenly Billows Plain as Xie Hui faced the approaching players and Insect Race.
Di Nian Evil Spirit redirected the campaign against the Crystalbone Clan and personally fought its awakened Crystal Lord, defeating it before ordering the Dark Tide to crush the remaining defenders. After Evil Eye detected possible Rule fluctuations hidden deep in the clan’s territory, Di Nian prepared to investigate the concealed, potentially trapped location.
Di Nian Evil Spirit cracked the ward protecting a Crystal Bone Race vault and discovered a rule-incubation facility guarded by 1.29 million Guardian Warriors whose power grew through lossless transfer. Unable to defeat them safely, he devised a plan to recruit the Beast Players as a counter and claim the Rule through their plunder.
Di Nian Evil Spirit devised a way to use tiered rewards and mystery boxes to persuade players to surrender the rule particles guarded in an Independent Space. After returning to the battlefield and resuming command, he faced a newly activated hidden mission that stunned the players.
Di Nian Bully opened a quest system and portal so players could hunt the Sky Crystal God Race’s guardians and submit Returning Flow rule particles for mystery boxes. A Lan withdrew the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce from the competition, leaving Bully as the only buyer as he multiplied his quest-giving clones across the region.
Di Nian Evil Spirit watched players defeat the Sky Crystal God Race and used Blind Box rewards, insults, and lucky-prize broadcasts to recover rule particles. After choosing not to betray the players by seizing the battlefield’s spoils, he conceived a realm-spanning quest system that could send players to fight for the Evil Spirit Alliance.
Di Nian Evil Spirit persuaded the Evil Spirit Alliance to use quests to direct players toward the alliance’s problems and reduce pressure on the Di Family Mountains. The alliance approved a six-color quest system and began testing it, leaving the players stunned by a field of Evil Spirit quest-givers.
Players debated the Evil Spirit Alliance’s new quest system, then gathered in the Di Family Mountains to bargain over quest rewards and risks. Their negotiations gave Di Nian’s Evil Eye data for developing a standardized system.
Gangban and the Steel Warband accepted Gui Ya’s low-paying quest to explore Soul Valley, then followed his projection into the dangerous depths. After fighting monsters and discovering a rare ore vein, the players began mining it for themselves, and Gui Ya demanded a share.
Gangban and Gui Ya uncovered the cause of Soul Valley’s endless war and learned how the Soul Shadows countered the Dark Tide. At the battlefield’s center, Gangban discovered a Story rule node, leaving the Steel Warband poised to claim its unique rewards.
Gangban and Gui Ya discovered a Dark Tide Core containing the Banishment rule in Soul Valley, prompting the Evil Spirit Alliance and players to prepare a cooperative interdimensional war. As Di Nian opened a passage to the battlefield, the Insect Race arrived, and the players and bugs charged through while Di Nian planned to support them from a distance.
The players, Insect Race, and Dark Tide joined forces to destroy the Soul Shadow Lord, while Di Nian Evil Spirit used the battle to absorb the Dark Tide Core and demonstrate his support tactics. Divine King’s team contained the Story Rule Node, and the former allies ended their cooperation with a mocking exchange before parting as rivals again.
The launch of Story Illustration sent players rushing to claim faction-wide first achievements, while Qi Sheng reflected on Di Nian Evil Spirit’s influence on the players’ growth. A travel squad reached Great Sorrow Snow Mountain to witness the Ice-Crystal Cloud-Sea Sunrise, then discovered a Ninth-Generation Primordial and other Primordials beneath the clouds.
The Song of the Wanderers discovered a Primordial cluster on Definition’s back and decided to try containing its weaker Primordials before sharing the news. Afei’s team contained Word Spirit, his birthdate Primordial, but retreated from the far stronger Edict and planned to call for help.
Players discussed the newly discovered True Word Origin Primordial cluster and analyzed how Word Spirit could boost attacks through shouted skill names and conviction. The Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce announced a free teleportation network to Definition, clearing the way for players to explore the roaming cluster.
Millions of players entered the Ridge of Definition, where they rapidly contained True Word Primordials and discovered a dormant altar built by the Phantom Sound Clan. The chapter ended with the Research Enthusiasts identifying the clan’s connection to Definition and preparing to seek its hidden treasures by their own methods.
Players uncovered the Phantom Sound Clan’s history: a civilization devoted to music that traveled to Monster World seeking Definition’s ultimate melody, only to be ignored and destroyed by the Ice Prisoner Race. The discovery revealed a powerful sonic momentum sealed in Definition’s treasury, and players began racing to find it.
The players tried to reach Definition’s Subspace treasury by using the Phantom Sound Clan’s Prayer Platforms, but their lottery draws mostly yielded worthless prizes. As the crowds dispersed, researcher Canxi discovered that transforming into an Origin Primordial form might let players reproduce the rhythms needed to open the altars’ passage.
Canjuan deciphered the Phantom Sound Poem needed to unlock the Sacrificial Altar but realized its performance required immense resources and a uniquely qualified player. The Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce agreed to fully sponsor the project in exchange for refunding players’ Blind Box losses and finding a suitable recipient for Momentum of Sound.
Fengyu, a Spiritlight player who left combat-focused grinding to explore Monster World through sound and music, received an invitation from the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce to help decipher an ancient Phantom Sound Clan altar. He accepted and set off for Dream Island to join the project team.
Fengyu joined the Phantom Sound Poem project on Dream Island and trained to reproduce its eighteen syllables, which could unlock a sealed Phantom Sound Race Treasury at Definition's Spine. After mastering fifteen Origin Primordial forms and preparing three Law Beasts for accompaniment, Fengyu declared himself ready for the final rehearsal.
Fengyu used the Spiritlight Race’s musical talent and the team’s support to unlock the Prayer Platform and open the Phantom Sound Race Sealed Treasury. Inside, Yuezhou claimed the Momentum of Sound, a quasi-rule inscription carrying the final legacy of the Phantom Sound Clan.
