Sun Fei welcomed Batistuta, Garcia, and Alan, whom he had rescued from the God and Demon Palace, and learned that Batistuta led the declining Black-Robed Holy Temple. Batistuta bluntly asked Sun Fei to join the branch as its Son of God, leaving the three Church members anxiously awaiting his answer.

• Qiuxiang told Sun Fei that Angela and Princess Jima had visited wounded soldiers at the barracks with the four pets.

• Sun Fei was caught off guard by Batistuta's request as Garcia, Alan, and Batistuta waited anxiously for his response.

Batistuta asked Sun Fei to join the Black-Robed Holy Temple, believing he might be an unaffiliated Son of God, while Sun Fei weighed the offer against the Church’s threat to Angela. A report sent Sun Fei rushing to the Barracks, where a cleric was accusing Chambord’s people of stealing divine pets and ordering women taken away.

• Batistuta recalled the Black-Robed Holy Temple’s long decline and explained why he hoped Sun Fei might be its first Son of God in generations.

• A red-and-black-robed cleric accused Chambord’s people of stealing three divine pets and ordered them imprisoned, while demanding that the women be sent to the choir for training.

• Barton accused Angela and the Chambord group of stealing the Church’s divine pets and ordered them seized, while Angela explained that the three creatures had hatched from fossilized eggs.

• Sun Fei arrived to confront Barton, drawing cheers from the crowd, and Batistuta, Garcia, and Alan also appeared.
• Barton taunted Sun Fei and warned him not to touch a Church cleric, but Sun Fei slapped him hard enough to break his bones and send him flying.

Sun Fei punished Barton and the other clerics for trying to seize his pet dog, then heard Batistuta’s offer to make him supreme pontiff of the Black-Robed Holy Temple. The chapter ended with Batistuta revealing that the temple wanted Sun Fei to ascend the Holy Church’s papal throne.

• Sun Fei resumed his discussion with Batistuta, who offered him leadership of the Black-Robed Holy Temple and access to its resources.
• Batistuta said the temple’s goal was to help Sun Fei become the supreme pope of the Holy Church.

Sun Fei discussed the Black-Robed Holy Temple’s bid for the papacy with Batistuta, then learned Angela’s Crystal Soul made her more important to the Church than a Son of God. He refused to agree to join the Temple before learning how he could protect Angela, and the chapter ended as the Twin Flag City Diocese’s forces arrived at the Barracks.

• Sun Fei challenged Batistuta’s claim that the Black-Robed Holy Temple could help him contend for the papacy, while Garcia urged him to embrace his divine mission.

• Batistuta warned that the other Church factions and the pope would pursue Angela, and Sun Fei asked how he could keep her out of the Church.
• Batistuta said joining the Black-Robed Holy Temple would give Sun Fei a little more hope of protecting Angela, but the matter would remain difficult.
• Warriors approached the Barracks amid shouts, and the battered clergymen took heart as Barton recognized that the pastor of the Twin Flag City Diocese had brought reinforcements.

Pastor David Baoye confronted Sun Fei at the Chambord Barracks, accusing him of blasphemy and demanding Chambord’s wealth while Frank Ribery tried to intervene. Sun Fei killed Deputy Pastor Barton after Barton taunted him to do it, then told Batistuta that he had merely granted Barton’s request.

• Sun Fei ignored Bishop Baoye’s protest over Barton’s death and asked Batistuta to help resolve the matter.
• Batistuta spoke privately with Baoye, who then ordered his clergy to leave the camp.

• Baoye agreed to the demands and fled with his subordinates, while Sun Fei called after them to visit again.
• Sun Fei returned to his seat and invited Batistuta and the others to resume their discussion.

Sun Fei delayed deciding whether to join the Black-Robed Holy Temple until he could consult his undead allies, while assuring Batistuta he would consider no other faction. Batistuta and Alan saw Sun Fei’s unconventional nature as a possible way to revive the temple, as Baoye reported on him to a mysterious Church figure who ordered Angela watched.

• Sun Fei told Batistuta he would give him an answer in half a month, after consulting the undead magister and undead bone dragon, and promised he would deal only with the Black-Robed Holy Temple.
• Garcia questioned Sun Fei’s fitness to lead, but Batistuta said the temple had few alternatives; Alan argued that Sun Fei might be exactly the unconventional leader it needed.

• The mysterious figure ordered Baoye to track Angela and investigate the three dragon-like magic beasts, while warning him not to act independently.
• Baoye asked how he should report Sun Fei’s killing of Deputy Prelate Barton to the imperial pontiff.

Baoye accepted the mysterious man’s advice to conceal his resentment, while Sun Fei spent a joyful evening with Angela and the young beasts before secretly flying to the Ancient Castle of Death. There, he began observing the Wolf Fang Legion and its commanders without revealing himself.

• The mysterious man told Baoye that the Church could not punish Sun Fei for killing Barton, and Baoye secretly resolved to stir up conflict between powerful people.

• Sun Fei left the castle and returned to Twin Flag City, where Kashya delivered an urgent letter sealed with red wax.

Sun Fei learned that Andrei Arshavin had destroyed the Spartak Empire in a stunning southern-front victory, strengthening the eldest prince’s position and changing the empire’s political and military situation. After discussing the news with his advisers, Sun Fei rejected Arjen’s proposal to quickly annihilate the Ajax army outside Twin Flag City.

• Sun Fei read an urgent report describing Arshavin’s crushing defeat of the Spartak army and capture of the Spartak royal family.
• Sun Fei recognized Arshavin as a formidable political and military rival and considered how his victory would affect the succession struggle and the other war fronts.

Sun Fei took his party’s decision to avoid fighting the Ajax army and visited Akara and Cain’s hidden laboratory with Elena. He told them about the Worldstone’s purification and examined the mysterious pillar and stone seat, but the pillar would not respond to his summons.

• Sun Fei summoned the mysterious stone seat, and Cain and Akara examined its unknown material as Sun Fei described its space-travel abilities and hidden runes.

Sun Fei learned that Cain and Akara had discovered Divine Runes and developed a prototype Long-Distance Teleport Outpost. After testing it, he found that the device lacked a way to select its destination, but he devised a possible fix and continued training Chambord City's experts.

• Cain and Akara recognized the stone seat’s armrest markings as possibly legendary Divine Runes and began carefully copying them.
• Sun Fei found that Cain and Akara had built a portable Long-Distance Teleport Outpost capable of transporting several people to fixed locations within a hundred kilometers.
• Sun Fei assembled two outposts, tested them himself, and confirmed that they safely teleported him a hundred meters between them.
• Sun Fei realized the outposts had no destination-selection system, postponed showing them to his followers, and proposed assigning each one a distinct magic frequency.
• Over the following days, Sun Fei noted that Batistuta and his companions remained in Twin Flag City, Baoye stayed quiet, and Arthur continued drinking; Sun Fei also taught improved martial techniques to Chambord City's experts.
