• Xiao Yu offered players a group quest to follow Agnes and assassinate the commander; Jing Wuming accepted eagerly.

Xiao Yu sent more than a hundred adventurers with Agnes to kill Sidney the Wavewalker at Wavetreader Camp. Agnes received the credit and upgraded her boss template, confirming Xiao Yu’s plan to gain reputation through plot characters.

• The players split their forces, fought the guards, healed Agnes, and drew Sidney’s attention before killing him.
• The system credited Agnes with killing Sidney, upgraded her to an intermediate boss template, and awarded Xiao Yu reputation.

Xiao Yu settled into Wavetreader Camp after the adventurers turned in Sidnis’s head and began preparing to conquer the remaining naga camps. Meanwhile, Qiu Fengleng secretly followed War Soul King at sea, where a hydra suddenly appeared behind him.

• Azathoth declared the naga defeated, and Jing Wuming turned in Sidnis’s head to complete the Decapitation Operation quest.

• Azathoth gave War Soul King’s 120 players a shareable quest to kill 20 naga each and bring back their scales.
• Glory War Soul completed the quest in under half an hour, and two more ships later brought nearly 200 adventurers to the camp.
• Xiao Yu found that the growing number of adventurers was leaving him with almost too few naga for them to kill.

Xiao Yu managed dwindling quest supplies and growing numbers of adventurers while preparing a rapid assault on the naga camps. After the three rival guilds arrived, he launched a coordinated attack, leaving the guilds and his armies ready to strike three camps.

• Xiao Yu worried that naga and quartermaster supplies were running low and that adventurers might turn against him if rewards ran out.
• Xiao Yu stopped the sirens from bringing more adventurers after the final batch arrived, including the rival guild leaders War Soul King, Iron Masked Man, and I Alone Am Supreme.

• War Soul King, Iron Masked Man, and I Alone Am Supreme assigned one camp to each guild and prepared their teams as Xiao Yu's three armies assembled.

With adventurers’ help, Agnes, Big Water Cunt, and Sairen captured three naga camps, and Xiao Yu prepared to lead a larger force against Yarvis City. He marched with several thousand elemental troops and more than a thousand adventurers to face the city’s 20,000 naga defenders, then activated the strategic command system.

• Agnes, Big Water Cunt, and Sairen killed the leaders of three naga camps, earning reputation and advancing Big Water Cunt and Sairen to intermediate bosses.
• Xiao Yu decided to lead an attack on Yarvis City himself and ordered Sairen to bring the troops from Hydra City, leaving the Volunteer Legion behind to defend it.
• Xiao Yu assembled several thousand elemental troops at Wavetreader Camp and rallied adventurers with a unique quest to kill Agutanis, the naga grand lord.
• Xiao Yu led the army and adventurers to Yarvis City, where 20,000 naga formed battle lines outside the unwalled city.
• Xiao Yu opened the lord interface and activated the strategic command system.

Xiao Yu used the Strategic Command System to arrange the Water Elemental Legion and adventurers into a formation that devastated the Naga army. After heavy Naga losses and the loss of the legion’s first line, Agutanis charged forward with several hundred royal guards.

• Xiao Yu activated the Strategic Command System and arranged the water elementals in six firing lines, with adventurers protecting both flanks.
• Agutanis challenged Azathoth, then ordered the Naga army to advance under magical buffs.
• Xiao Yu ordered the water elementals to unleash volleys of Frostbolt, followed by Frost Nova and area attacks that devastated the charging Naga.
• Adventurers on both flanks used spells and ranged attacks to stop the Naga from surrounding the elemental legion.
• After half an hour, nearly ten thousand Naga had died and seven or eight hundred water elementals had fallen, while the first line was almost wiped out.
• Agutanis charged toward Xiao Yu’s forces with several hundred Naga royal guards.

Azathoth faced Agutanis as the Naga High Lord broke through the Water Elemental Legion, then used the adventurers’ attention to draw them into the fight. With the adventurers’ help, Agutanis’s health fell to half, while Azathoth kept taunting him from a safer distance.

• Agutanis cast Tsunami, disrupting the water elementals’ formation and letting the naga break through three lines.
• Azathoth led the Immortal Legion into the fight and struck Agutanis with a Fission Orb, then used Deep Sea Maelstrom and summoned boiling water elementals to slow him.
• Agutanis executed one of the boiling water elementals and pressed his attack, so Azathoth called out to the adventurers and traded blows while receiving their buffs and healing.
• Azathoth warned the adventurers about Agutanis’s execute ability, prompting them to surround the Naga High Lord and draw his aggro.
• Azathoth retreated to attack from range and taunted Agutanis as several hundred adventurers battered the boss, reducing his health to half.

Xiao Yu helped the adventurers defeat Agutanis and earned enough reputation to advance to a one-skull boss, then led his forces to occupy Yarvis City. He declined to claim the story-event reward early and faced a choice over the city's fate, uncertain whether holding the isolated territory was worthwhile.

• Agutanis poisoned and attacked the adventurers, but they overwhelmed his summons and drove his health below 20%.
• Xiao Yu stopped Naga reinforcements from healing Agutanis, then used Fission Orbs to kill him while his shields were active.
• Xiao Yu gained 1,785 reputation, advanced to a one-skull boss, and let the adventurers divide Agutanis's equipment.
• The Naga forces fled, and Xiao Yu led the Water Elemental Legion into Yarvis City and occupied it.
• Xiao Yu rejected the option to calculate the Lost Island story-event reward early, then considered whether to destroy, plunder, or occupy Yarvis City.

Xiao Yu occupied Yarvis City and prepared to seize the Lost Temple before the Horde, while Queen Azshara received a mysterious command to take back Lost Island. The Alliance army marched toward the temple, unaware that a crisis was approaching.

• Xiao Yu took control of Yarvis City, inspected its buildings and resources, and planned to claim the Lost Temple’s treasures.

• Xiao Yu gathered his forces in Yarvis City and urged the Alliance adventurers to reach the Lost Temple before the Horde.
• The Alliance adventurers rallied at Xiao Yu’s speech, and his army set out for the Lost Temple.

Xiao Yu coordinated the Alliance and Horde attacks on the Lost Temple gates so both sides entered together, while secretly keeping his own forces back. The Alliance and Horde adventurers met in the plaza, disrupting the Alliance guild leaders’ plan to claim the treasure, and Behemoth King proposed talks.

• Xiao Yu worried that Glory War Soul, Heavenly Kingdom Dynasty, and High Heaven Pavilion had united and might threaten his plan to obtain the Seed of Elements and Divine Water of Life.
• Xiao Yu checked Qin Shiyue’s progress at the west gate and adjusted his Water Elemental Legion’s attack so both gates would fall at the same time.
• The Alliance adventurers rushed through the east gate, while Xiao Yu kept his elementals behind them to avoid blocking their path.
• The Horde adventurers entered through the west gate, and the two forces confronted each other in the Lost Temple plaza.
• War Soul King, Weizun Lingxiao, and Iron Masked Man discussed avoiding a fight, and Behemoth King stepped forward to propose talks.

Alliance and Horde adventurers began fighting after an independent player attacked the Behemoth King, allowing Xiao Yu’s forces to reach the Lost Temple vault. At the entrance, a naga revealed herself as a shadow of Elune and demanded to know why Azathoth had come.

• An independent Alliance player struck the Behemoth King with a Greater Fireball, igniting a battle between the Alliance and Horde despite War Soul King and Iron Masked Man’s efforts to prevent it.
• Weizun Lingxiao abandoned attempts to calm the fighting and entered stealth as the two factions plunged into a chaotic brawl.
• Azathoth led the Immortals toward the great hall, while a merfolk and lobster-man army joined them without fighting.
• Ariel and Azathoth agreed to split the vault’s treasure equally and approached its doors.
• A neutral Naga Supplicant appeared before the vault and revealed herself as a shadow of Elune, explaining that some naga had returned to worship her and asking Azathoth why he had come.

Xiao Yu accepted Lady Xiwadelin's offer to join him, and she opened the Lost Temple vault. Inside, he and Qin Shiyue found tens of thousands of Naga Treasure Chests, but their first attempts yielded mostly common items and little gold.

• The Naga Spirit Supplicant refused to let Xiao Yu open the vault, but Lady Xiwadelin struck her down with purple lightning.
• Lady Xiwadelin explained that she belonged to a different naga faith and offered to open the vault if Xiao Yu accepted her loyalty.
• Xiao Yu accepted Sivadrin's oath of loyalty to Azathoth, the Water Elemental Lord.
• Lady Xiwadelin activated the crystal sphere, and Xiao Yu and Qin Shiyue entered the opened Lost Temple with their forces.
• Xiao Yu and Qin Shiyue opened Naga Treasure Chests, but their early finds were mostly common gear and small amounts of gold.

Xiao Yu followed Lady Xiwadelin to a hidden hall and found the real treasure, then divided its eight relics with Qin Shiyue. He obtained the Seed of Elements, the Water of Life, a magic warship, and the Magic Mirror of True Knowledge, and ended by preparing to ask the mirror a question.

• Azathoth recognized that the first vault held decoy treasures and commanded Lady Xiwadelin to lead him to the real treasure.
• Lady Xiwadelin activated the naga sea god statue, revealing eight crystal cabinets containing legendary items.
• Xiao Yu chose the Seed of Elements first, then took the Water of Life, the Magic Ship in a Bottle, and the Magic Mirror of True Knowledge.
• Qin Shiyue chose the trident, crown, conch, and goddess statue.
• Xiao Yu inspected his haul and picked up the mirror to ask it a question.

After seeing a vast naga army surround the Lost Island, Xiao Yu and Qin Shiyue tried to rally the adventurers but found them engrossed in opening treasure chests. They abandoned their outer territories and prepared to defend the Lost City, where Lady Xiwadelin warned that Queen Azshara personally led more than three hundred thousand naga, prompting Xiao Yu to ask if she had a way to stop them.

• Azathoth used the mirror to reveal a massive naga army and sea beasts surrounding the Lost Island.
• Xiao Yu and Qin Shiyue urged the Alliance and Horde adventurers to unite, but the adventurers ignored them to open treasure chests.
• Xiao Yu and Qin Shiyue ruled out retreat and gathered their commanders to pull their troops back into the Lost City.
• Lady Xiwadelin told Xiao Yu that Queen Azshara led the attack with more than three hundred thousand naga.
• Xiao Yu asked Lady Xiwadelin whether she had a way to deal with the invasion.

Xiao Yu learned that the Scourge of the Ocean was sealed in the Bottomless Abyss and led a small force there to claim it. Deep in the abyss, his party encountered the level 60 Deep Sea Titan Tinuors, and Xiao Yu's maelstrom failed to stop it.

• Lady Xiwadelin revealed a hidden passage to the Pool of the Abyss and told Azathoth that the Scourge of the Ocean could help him defeat Queen Azshara's army.
• Xiao Yu recognized the resemblance to Arthas's story but decided to seek the sword, then ordered Wotkud to defend the Lost Temple while he took a hundred elite elementals into the abyss.
• Xiao Yu and the elementals descended through the Pool of the Abyss, passed beyond the Lost Island, and entered a vast fissure in the seabed.
• After reaching the bottom and exploring a deep-sea canyon, Xiao Yu sensed an enormous enemy and ordered his troops to attack.
• The enemy revealed itself as Tinuors, a level 60 Deep Sea Titan, and Xiao Yu's Deep Sea Maelstrom failed to trap it.

Azathoth entered an underwater cavern and encountered the Old God N'Zoth, who urged him to pull the Scourge of the Ocean from its seal. Azathoth freed the Old God, escaped the collapsing cavern, and returned to the surface with the artifact as N'Zoth's tentacle seized the deep-sea titan.

• Azathoth sent his elemental creatures to hold off Tinuors while he reached an artificial cavern and felt the influence of Old God Fear.
• N'Zoth revealed himself and offered Azathoth the Scourge of the Ocean, claiming it could control the sea.
• Azathoth recognized the sword was embedded in a seal and agreed to pull it out, warning N'Zoth not to attack him afterward.
• Purple blood flooded the cavern as Azathoth removed the sword, and he fled while the cavern collapsed.
• N'Zoth's tentacle dragged Tinuors into the abyss, and the purple water dissipated Azathoth's remaining elemental creatures.
• Azathoth escaped to the surface with the Scourge of the Ocean and prepared to examine it.

Xiao Yu returned from the Pool of the Abyss with Scourge of the Ocean as the naga army threatened to overrun the Lost City. He unleashed the artifact’s sea currents and storm against the naga, leaving Azshara’s invasion in chaos.

• Xiao Yu emerged with Scourge of the Ocean and learned from Sairen that the naga had broken through the defenses and were attacking the Lost City.
• Xiao Yu showed the artifact to the assembled defenders and declared that he would crush Azshara’s forces.
