• After the Crimson Queen failed to reappear, Xiluo used Kahn's blood to track her and discovered she had fled while interfering with the positioning spell.
• Xiluo and the other dragons captured and shrank Kahn, then arranged for him to earn money for them by selling his blood, scales, dung, and essence.

• Baphomet brought Galle Rain to Niro City Castle, where Galle Rain accused Xiluo of tricking him out of a Divine-Chosen Dragon method and spells decades earlier.

• Galle Rain flew east to fight in an open area, and Xiluo followed, deciding he would go easier on him to protect the city and its people.

Galle Rain challenged Xiluo, convinced that the powerful dragons around him were products of illusion. After Xiluo defeated him and restored his clarity, Galle Rain realized the battle and the dragons’ growth were real, and Gordon ordered him to submit.

• Xiluo recovered Little Pake’s treasures and offered Galle Rain a chance to join him, but Galle Rain refused and was bound and shrunk.

Xiluo sent Gordon and five other dragons to the Radiant Empire’s capital, Faklan, to attend an auction for the Sea God Blood Orchid. In Faklan, a rampaging Blood Moon Giant Wolf attacked a church and was swiftly killed by a four-winged angel, revealing the empire’s formidable divine defenses.

• Xiluo assessed the dragons’ strength, explained that Gordon was best suited to use the Sea God Blood Orchid, and learned he had one million Gold Coins.
• Xiluo assigned Gordon, Baphomet, Karl, Alicia, Koraman, and Galle Rain to travel to the auction while the others stayed to guard Niro City.

• The four-winged angel killed the blood moon werewolf, and Holy Light Apostles guarded the outsiders as clerics treated the injured.
• Bostart threatened to seize the Sea God Blood Orchid from whoever won it, while Eru Yuehua and Kanov Shabao asserted their own claims to the treasure.

• Xiluo assessed how the Three Gods Barrier had reduced the dragons’ strength, with Galle Rain suffering the greatest drop and Alicia and Koraman remaining unaffected.

• Host Heigel Talibudo began the auction, but the early lots, including a magical water mirror, failed to attract bids.
• Heigel presented the blue-and-red Sea God Blood Orchid.

At an auction for the Sea God Blood Orchid, the Bam Brothers won both orchid lots before Heigel Talibudo teleported the auction crowd to a forest and removed the Three Gods Barrier. The assembled powerhouses attacked the brothers to seize their treasure, but the dragons withstood the barrage and took to the air, preparing to flee.

• Yulis outbid Gordon for the Sea God Orchid, then won the Sea God Blood Orchid against Bostart and the Silver Moon Elf princess.
• After the Bam Brothers completed the purchase, Heigel Talibudo vanished and the auction venue was transported from Faklan to a forest, where the Three Gods Barrier disappeared.

• The two Gold Dragons flew upward, preparing to escape.

• Naifeisi tossed the Spatial Ring into the sea, drawing the fighters into a chaotic struggle over it.

• After more than half an hour, Legendary fighters began dying as the combatants weakened and paid less attention to the ring.
• Xiluo sent an unseen figure to the seabed, where it made the real Spatial Ring vanish and left a fake in its place.

Xiluo secretly stole the Sea God Blood Orchid while the gathered powers fought, then a Three Gods Church ambush struck the exhausted evil Legendaries. The surviving groups departed after learning the Church had not taken the orchid, and Koraman postponed his duel with Yulis.

• A Silver Moon Elf discovered that the Spatial Ring had been tampered with, and the creatures fought again after realizing the Sea God Blood Orchid was gone.
• Hidden beneath the seabed, Xiluo reflected that he had taken the orchid easily but suspected someone had watched him.
• Cardinal Sait and Theo Talibudo waited above the sea as the battle exhausted the gathered powers, then the Three Gods Church ambushed Nakali Lumba, Postat, and the other evil Legendaries.

• The groups agreed to split up, and Koraman postponed his duel with Yulis while privately lamenting that he still could not defeat him.

• After the hunt for Bostart ended, Theo Talibudo and Cardinal Sait parted ways, and the Dragon Cubs eventually returned to Niro City.
• Gordon admitted to Xiluo that he had failed to obtain the Sea God Blood Orchid, and Xiluo revealed that his duplicate had stolen it and offered it to him for two million gold coins.

• Xiluo's duplicate observed Gordon's increased strength and watched him fly off, where fire and lightning soon erupted along the distant coast as Gordon confronted the Blue Dragon Wyrmling.
• The Elf Queen summoned Xiluo to World Tree Island and explained that the World Tree and its saplings had linked together, asking him to help establish a World Tree Network.

Xiluo and the Elf Queen agreed to use the World Tree’s new [World Tree Space] to connect people and play [Continent Hero Legend], and Xiluo proposed expanding it into a sparring system called Ladder Ranking. After learning the World Tree had its own consciousness, Xiluo questioned who was behind the elves’ alliance with him, while news of the new virtual space spread across Blue Star and Domirank Star.

• The Elf Queen proposed partnering with Xiluo to use [World Tree Space] for communication and games, and he agreed to feature his [Continent Hero Legend] cards.
