• Transmigrators introduced useful inventions, earned territories, and founded countries, while one ambitious newcomer set out to ascend to godhood.

Lorin Stant, an Alchemist who had created the Goblins in hopes of ascending to godhood, was summoned to meet Li Xiaowa. After she explained that scientists dissected Evil Gods and sought truth, he abandoned his ambition to become a god and embraced the title of scientist.

• Lorin Stant had fled his ruined world through a spatial rift, possessed a dead warrior in the Mayi World, and survived its war against Evil Beings.

• King Uther asked Ector and Merlin to protect his youngest daughter in case Angsaisis defeated him.
• Ector accepted the child, and Merlin promised to teach Artoria and help her become a great king.

Years after Camelot’s fall, Merlin trained Artoria and Kay while secretly preparing Artoria to claim the Sword in the Stone and challenge the Red Dragon King. He explained how he learned the sword was forged by Jiang Yang, then arranged for it to become the symbol that would help Artoria reclaim her kingdom.

• Artoria defeated Kay in their morning sword practice, then complained that Merlin had fallen asleep instead of teaching them.

• Merlin recalled meeting Vivian at Avalon, where she gave him the Stone Sword and hinted at its mysterious origins.

• Merlin told Artoria she was ready to go to Camelot City, draw the Sword in the Stone, and become the Knight King of Britain.

• Artoria gripped the Sword in the Stone, saw a king's sword intent, and pulled it free before the astonished crowd.

Jiang Yang sensed Artoria drawing the Stone Sword and sent her a golden light that granted her an epiphany and a powerful sword technique. With Merlin's staged coronation, Artoria proclaimed herself King of Britain and called for rebellion against the Red Dragon King Angsaisis.

• Artoria called on the crowd to fight alongside her against Angsaisis, but most people rejected the call or fled.
• A small group, including Moin Gate, Anyu Abel, and Lak Kedi, pledged allegiance to Artoria as her companions welcomed them.
• At the campfire that night, Artoria asked Merlin why so few people had supported her and whether her coronation had mattered.
• Merlin explained that the witnesses would spread word of her resistance and that others would join once the Dragon Clan suffered a defeat.
• Merlin assured Artoria that she was stronger than Uther and would become King Arthur, and Artoria vowed to avenge her parents and rebuild Camelot.

Artoria led a rebellion against the Red Dragon King Angsaisis, defeated his army, and killed him, ending his rule over Britain. She returned to rebuild Camelot and govern with her companions, who became known as the Twelve Knights of the Round Table.

• Artoria governed alongside her knight companions at a great round table, and they became known as the Twelve Knights of the Round Table, each holding the rank of duke.

After Artoria defeated Tiamat’s True Dragon army, rebellions spread across the world and began a thousand-year war against the Dragon Clan. Merlin left Artoria, later read the tragic account of her life in the distant future, and was told that someone from the Heroic Spirit Throne had come to see him.

• Merlin received a call saying that someone from the Heroic Spirit Throne had come to visit him.

As the Mortal Realm’s war spiraled into devastation, Jiang Yang prepared to confront Mogandi, the Mother of Evil and Weirdness, while the Church of the Gods mobilized Mayi’s people for the coming battle. Jiang Yang charged into deep space with 108 Radiant Shadows, and Mogandi met his attack as the war began.

• The war against the Dragon Clan consumed the Mortal Realm, and the Divine Clan could not intervene because Jiang Yang’s formation remained in place.

The note left behind suggested Aniya was safe, and Jiang Yang suspected the mysterious powerhouse who had vanished decades earlier was responsible.

• Jiang Yang returned to Earth and discovered the land had been devastated by the Bronze People’s civil war, which his formations had prevented the Divine Clan from stopping.

Jiang Yang investigated the Moon after Aulisel concluded that it was an Angel-built defense line for Earth, and discovered that the Solar System’s planets were all connected to distant space-time. He realized that civilizations leaving Earth had prepared for a catastrophic future conflict with a powerful enemy.

• Aulisel told Jiang Yang that the Moon was an Angel-built defense line intended to protect Earth from a future catastrophe, and that an earlier civilization had also left behind a planetary fortress.

With the Divine Court unsealed, the Divine Clan reappeared, while Jiang Yang remained on Earth and assigned Brahma and Ra to guard Mayi World.

• Jiang Yang explained that the moon’s Space-Time Thread likely led to Heaven and that other planets’ threads might connect to civilizations from earlier epochs.
