• Xiao Ce learned that the Stone Clan had vanished and the Huang Clan revered the Dragon Phoenix, then chose the Dragon Phoenix Royal Bloodline and weighed his remaining deployment rewards.

Xiao Ce gained the Dragon Phoenix Royal Bloodline, confronted threats to the Xiao Clan, and traveled in search of the Green Lotus Core Flame. A long deployment then carried him through generations of artifact refining and Xiao Yan’s rise, ending with Xiao Ce founding the Artifact Refiner Alliance.

• Xiao Ce began a deployment as an artifact refiner, rising through the ranks while aiding Xiao Huo and eventually raising Xiao Yan, who grew powerful before being killed by an Emperor Clan Dou Di.

• Xiao Ce left the Flame Flame Sect, traveled and repaid Mo Xi, helped the Xiao Clan destroy the Yuan Clan, then reached mid-stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng and established the Artifact Refiner Alliance.
