Sun Fei explained the continent’s condition to Fox High Priest Nash and learned that the Behemoth Orc Clan had sent an advance party to seek a way home. Hoping to build a friendship and prevent future conflict, Sun Fei invited the orcs to visit his kingdom, and Nash agreed.

• Sun Fei offered to guide the orc advance party to the Northern Region and invited them to visit his kingdom.
• After considering the risks, Nash accepted Sun Fei’s invitation, and the orc masters prepared to go with him.

Sun Fei led the returning beastman vanguard toward Chambord City and learned about their Totem Power and the Intimidation Totem that had helped them survive the Endless Forest Sea.

• Sun Fei sent a Crimson Hummingbird to Brook to arrange a discreet reception, then explained Chambord’s situation and rules to Nash and the others.
• Three Black Warships arrived to escort the group, and Nash and his companions were impressed by Chambord’s disciplined warriors and advanced ships.
• The orcs saw an enormous black beast, three dragons, and fifty King Class magic beasts accompanying the ships, and they questioned whether their people could match human power.

• Nash and the other orcs abandoned their restraint and wolfed down the banquet's food and wine.

At a banquet, Chambord’s warriors and the orc experts bonded over food, drink, and contests of strength. The Chambordians won more strength matches than the orcs expected, and Iverson challenged them to prove themselves another way.

Arjen Robben outdid Iverson in a blade-work challenge, helping Chambord’s warriors and the Orc Clan bond during a lively banquet. In the following days, the orcs explored Chambord and studied its records and intelligence, while Sun Fei continued his work in the Anzhi Imperial Capital and the Mithril armor war puppets neared completion.

• Iverson demonstrated his blade skill by peeling and cutting a pineapple into sixty-four pieces, then challenged Chambord’s warriors to match him.

Sun Fei learned that Old Man Cain and Sister Akara could not give souls to the Mithril armor, but they had modified it into combat golems powered by magic stones. After Sun Fei supplied a powerful gem, they prepared to deploy the first thousand golems and asked him to take Cain to the strange world he had discovered.

• Old Man Cain and Sister Akara told Sun Fei that the soul activation array had failed because creating life was beyond mortal power.

• Sun Fei described the strange world beyond the purple portal, and Cain said it seemed familiar and asked Sun Fei to take him there after the golems were finished.

Sun Fei explored a mysterious world beyond the Diablo portal but found no people or answers. After the Holy Church defeated the Dragon Clan without destroying it, news of the God Clan’s awakening confirmed that the old order had ended, and Sun Fei grew more urgent about strengthening Chambord and Zenit and forming an alliance with the Orc Clan.

• Sun Fei checked the sealing eggs, including the enormous central egg, and found that their seals remained intact.
• Sun Fei explored the new world for eight hours but found no signs of intelligent life and could not reach the mysterious voice.

Sun Fei prepared to travel with Nash to seek an alliance with the Behemoth Royal Clan and the Beast God Temple, securing Chambord City with Mithril Puppets before setting out. After a dangerous journey through the Endless Forest Sea, the party reached the beginning of the Behemoth Blood Ancient Road and found a secluded stone wall.

• Nash led the party to a solitary peak and explained that the Behemoth Blood Ancient Road used ancient teleportation coordinates.
• Nash guided the party through traps at the foot of the peak to a secluded stone wall.

Sun Fei and the Behemoth Beastmen used a blood-colored altar opened by the sacrifice of a True God ancestor to travel to a hidden ice valley. They found another altar there, marking the next stage of their journey through the ancient refuge route.

• Fox High Priest Nash sang before the stone gate, revealing a passage powered by the sacrifices of 108 True God-level experts.
• The spirit of Jabbar of the Bill Giant Bears opened the first blood-colored passage and urged his people to survive.

• Sun Fei and the group arrived in a secluded, snow-covered valley surrounded by ice peaks.
• Sun Fei recognized a second blood-colored altar, where another Orc Clan True God had sacrificed himself to open the route onward.

Sun Fei and the Behemoth Beastmen traveled through the 108 blood-colored altar portals along the Ancient Blood Road, learning of the sacrifices that had enabled their ancestors’ escape. They reached the coast, where giant sea beasts showed that the region was still too dangerous for intelligent races to settle.

• High Priest Fox explained that a Fish Clan True God had sacrificed himself to open an altar, while his clan died protecting others during the retreat.

After the sea beasts’ battle ended, Sun Fei’s group camped on the shore while he studied ways to grow stronger and advance to the True God Realm. At sunset, a signal summoned their escorts, and an enormous shadow descended from the sky toward them.

• High Priest Fox said someone would take the group across the sea, so Sun Fei and the others set up camp on the beach.
• Elena continued cultivating in the Diablo World, where her level-100 magic archer had unlocked an unusual skill system.

• High Priest Fox announced that their escorts had arrived after the totem sent a golden flame into the sky.
• An enormous shadow descended from above, astonishing Sun Fei and the envoys from Chambord City.

Sun Fei and the Chambord party met the Pig Clan aboard Lianna, a gigantic Demigod-level flying beast, and quickly won the pigmen's friendship with food and wine. The group set off across the sea toward the Behemoth Beastmen, leaving Sun Fei intent on gaining the Pig Clan's support.

• Lianna, a gigantic color-changing bird with a Demigod aura, landed on the coast and amazed Sun Fei and the Chambord party.
• High Priest Fox explained that Lianna was a gentle, four-hundred-year-old companion of the Behemoth Beastmen and had once helped carry their people across the ocean.
• Chief Artest and the Pig Clan met High Priest Fox, who introduced Sun Fei and the Chambord guests.
• Oleg offered the pigmen food and wine, and Artest and his people quickly dropped their wariness and became friendly with the Chambord party.
• Artest led everyone onto Lianna's back, and the pigmen and Chambord guests ate and drank together as Lianna flew toward the Behemoth Beastmen.

While Sun Fei and his companions continued their voyage, the Kingdom of Byzantium celebrated its first festival since the war. The highest-level danger alarm interrupted King Constantine’s speech, and the kingdom began an orderly evacuation and prepared its forces for battle.

• Sun Fei worried that the drunk Artest might make Lianna lose her way, but High Priest Fox reassured him that she could navigate safely and they would arrive within a day.
• The people of Byzantium celebrated the kingdom’s recovery from the Lyon invasion and honored King Constantine and Queen Elizabeth at the harbor festival.

• Constantine ordered civilians to evacuate, and the people followed their practiced plan while Byzantium’s warships and soldiers took up defensive positions.

A mysterious fleet launched an attack on the Kingdom of Byzantium, but the kingdom’s defenses held against its opening bombardment. Constantine relied on the safeguards Sun Fei had prepared as the enemy pressed toward the coast.

• Byzantium’s outposts and guards were wiped out, and Constantine’s forces spotted a vast, unidentified fleet approaching the coast.
• Constantine ordered the coastal magic array activated, the warships’ shields raised, and his forces prepared for battle as visiting envoys fled.
• Little Luffy offered to seek reinforcements, but Constantine told him Sun Fei had left a safeguard five kilometers offshore.

• The fleet bombarded the Byzantium ships and harbor, but Sub-Divine Rune shields and Sun Fei’s coastal magic array blocked the attacks.

Barcelona Empire vanguard commander Montoya ordered a fifth-level cannon barrage against Byzantium Port, but its defenses held. A sudden attack from a Byzantine warship unleashed devastating golden sword energies that began destroying the Barcelona fleet.

• Montoya learned that Byzantium Port belonged to a vassal kingdom of the Zenit Empire and ordered the fleet to fire its fifth-level magic cannons.
