Chu Xinghe’s decision to give away all the awakened spirit beasts stunned the Demon Star Continent and the Vast Heaven Holy Land. Gu Mingchao learned that the elders had made major decisions without properly informing him, then joined them in waiting to see what Chu Xinghe would do.

• The Wolf King enjoyed his newfound bargaining power as the Demon Star Continent prospered from raising awakened spirit beasts and partnering exclusively with the Vast Heaven Holy Land.
• Chu Xinghe announced that the awakened spirit beasts would be given away, leaving the Wolf King, the wider world, and the Vast Heaven Holy Land’s leaders bewildered.
• At Haotian Palace, Gu Mingchao discovered that everyone assumed he had attended the meeting at Spirit Crane Palace where the six-generation provision was discussed.
• Shen Chun admitted he might have forgotten to invite Gu Mingchao, accepted the Grand Elder’s punishment, and went to face the wall.
• After the Grand Elder explained the meeting and Chu Xinghe’s plan, Gu Mingchao declared that they should wait and see.

Chu Xinghe gave away the Vast Heaven Holy Land’s awakened spirit beasts to provide descendants of deceased disciples with a chance to become summoners, while selecting recipients by character. He rejected the Misfortune Compass’s shortcut to power and left the spirit beasts distributed across the Demon Star Continent.

• The major factions and Tantai Jing were bewildered when Chu Xinghe announced that the Vast Heaven Holy Land would give away its awakened spirit beasts instead of selling them.
• After meeting Ding Feng in Abyss City, Chu Xinghe decided to use the spirit beasts to give descendants of deceased disciples new hope.
• Chu Xinghe ordered all awakened spirit beasts on the Demon Star Continent gathered and sent out, leaving Senior Brother Shen Chun to choose suitable recipients based on character rather than talent or cultivation.
• Chu Xinghe reflected that the Misfortune Compass could help him gain power by abandoning his conscience, but he refused to take that path.

Chu Xinghe prepared to give Ding Feng a powerful Moon-Gazing Rhinoceros, convinced that Ding Feng’s supposedly incurable Innate Defective Physique would help him defeat the Misfortune Compass. He ended the chapter confident that investing in Ding Feng would make him fall into exactly the pit he wanted.

• Chu Xinghe reflected that he could gain power by committing evil but had chosen to resist the Misfortune Compass and keep his principles.
• Ma Liang brought Chu Xinghe the valuable, mutated Moon-Gazing Rhinoceros, which Chu Xinghe refused to sell because he had prepared it for Ding Feng.
• Ma Liang questioned Chu Xinghe’s choice because Ding Feng had an Innate Defective Physique that devoured spiritual power and prevented cultivation.
• Chu Xinghe consulted the concept gods, who confirmed that no amount of resources could overcome Ding Feng’s Innate Defective Physique.
• Chu Xinghe decided that Ding Feng’s inability to cultivate made him a promising target for resource investment and remained sure he could not lose.

Chu Xinghe made Ding Feng, whose Innate Defective Physique prevented him from cultivating, a disciple of the Vast Heaven Holy Land and gave him the Moon-Gazing Rhinoceros. The beast’s power strengthened Ding Feng without raising his cultivation, while news of Chu Xinghe’s shocking decision spread across the Three Continents.

• Ma Liang questioned Chu Xinghe’s decision to give the Moon-Gazing Rhinoceros to Ding Feng, but Chu Xinghe welcomed the prospect of wasting resources on Ding Feng’s defective physique.
• Chu Xinghe recruited Ding Feng into the Vast Heaven Holy Land and reassured him that his unusual power had a purpose.
• Chu Xinghe personally completed the ritual making Ding Feng the Moon-Gazing Rhinoceros’s master.
• Ding Feng gained physical and mental benefits from the beast but showed no increase in cultivation, confirming Chu Xinghe’s expectations.
• News of the match spread across the Three Continents, astonishing the people who had hoped to obtain the Moon-Gazing Rhinoceros for themselves.

Chu Xinghe’s gift of the Moon-Gazing Rhinoceros to Ding Feng, who was born with a useless physique, baffled the Three Continents and prompted Zheng Yu to search for others like him. Meanwhile, the Heavenly Secrets Evil Lord’s division faced ruin from the Taiyang Progenitor Puppet’s losses, until the Witch Curse Evil Lord revealed an object that might let them kill Chu Xinghe.

• Chu Xinghe’s gift to Ding Feng became a sensation, and Zheng Yu sent stewards across the Three Continents to find people born with useless physiques.
• Wu Man reported Chu Xinghe’s actions to the Evil Lords, while the Heavenly Secrets Evil Lord demanded that Vast Heaven Holy Land accept his division’s surrender.
• The Heavenly Secrets Evil Lord launched a resource-plundering war after the Taiyang Progenitor Puppet’s shipments left his division nearly destitute.
• The White Spirit Evil Lord proposed that the other divisions share the cost of supporting the Heavenly Secrets Evil Spirits, and they agreed to contribute resources.
• The Heart-Devouring Evil Lord argued that killing Chu Xinghe would solve their problems, and the Witch Curse Evil Lord appeared with an object that seemed capable of doing so.

The Witch Curse Evil Lord revealed a plot to lure the Wolf King into the Demon God's Arm Bone and draw Chu Xinghe into its spirit-suppressing world. Man Ben first refused to fight Chu Xinghe, but agreed once he learned that the Mighty Savage Evil Spirits would attack together.

• The Witch Curse Evil Lord showed the Evil Lords the Demon God's Arm Bone, a relic containing the first Demon God's power and resentment.
• The Witch Curse Evil Lord explained that the Wolf King would be trapped inside the bone's small world, forcing Chu Xinghe to enter and rescue him.
• The Evil Lords planned to exploit the small world's spirit suppression and send Mighty Savage Evil Spirits prodigies through a back door to attack Chu Xinghe.
• The Strength Barbarian Evil Lord summoned Man Ben, who objected that he was being sent to his death and joked about being his master's flesh-and-blood disciple.
• Man Ben admitted he feared facing Chu Xinghe even in the spirit-suppressing world, but agreed to the plan after learning that all the young Mighty Savage Evil Spirits would hunt Chu Xinghe together.

The Evil Shadow Continent arranged to gang up on Chu Xinghe, while Chu Xinghe focused on using Ding Feng’s Innate Defective Physique to consume resources. When Chu Xinghe tried to buy another person with the same physique from Zheng Yu, Zheng Yu refused even an offer of two Spirit Crane Palaces, leaving the Three Continents baffled by the old man’s apparent value.

• Man Ben agreed to join the Evil Lords’ plan to overwhelm Chu Xinghe, and the Strength Barbarian Evil Lord ordered him to gather qualified fighters.
• The Witch Curse Evil Lord sent the Demon God's Arm Bone to Wu Man, who waited at the Vast Heaven Holy Land for the Wolf King to arrive.
• Chu Xinghe returned with Ding Feng and confirmed that Ding Feng’s Innate Defective Physique suppressed the Moon-Gazing Rhinoceros’s spiritual power while allowing him to absorb spirit stones without effect.
• Huang Ritian urged Chu Xinghe to find more people with Innate Defective Physiques, so Chu Xinghe asked Shen Chun to search for them.
• Shen Chun told Chu Xinghe that Zheng Yu had found a seventy-year-old man with the same physique, and Chu Xinghe offered Zheng Yu resources worth two Spirit Crane Palaces to buy him.
• Zheng Yu refused the offer and ordered his alchemists to cure the old man and extend his life, while Cheng Xiaotian and people across the Three Continents marveled at the refusal.

Zheng Yu refused Chu Xinghe’s offer of two Spirit Crane Palaces for the old man with an Innate Defective Physique, convinced that backing Chu Xinghe would bring him a fortune. Chu Xinghe left the deal for later, arranged to monitor Zheng Yu, and was then challenged by the Wolf King over why he had chosen the old man for the Moon-Gazing Rhinoceros.

• Zheng Yu reflected that he had found one of the only two people with an Innate Defective Physique after searching widely, and believed the old man was worth more than Chu Xinghe’s offer.
• Cheng Xiaotian explained to Zheng Yu that poverty kept many talented ordinary people from cultivating, while Chu Xinghe’s Body Cultivation technique helped reveal talent across the Three Continents.
• Chu Xinghe gave up trying to persuade Zheng Yu to sell the old man for now and told Shen Chun to monitor Zheng Yu and buy the man if Zheng Yu changed his mind.
• Chu Xinghe returned to the Civil Engineering Department, where the Azure Dragon Sacred Venerable complained that Ding Feng absorbed resources too slowly and wanted to use the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon.
• The Wolf King, Ming Han, asked Chu Xinghe why he had chosen someone with an Innate Defective Physique for the Moon-Gazing Rhinoceros, and Chu Xinghe admitted he could not figure it out himself.

Chu Xinghe learned that the Wolf King needed the resource-intensive Mystic God Ascension Array to break through to Half-Step Main God, and summoned the White Tiger Holy Venerable to help. White Tiger identified the array as the dangerous Fate Mark Array, whose caster could steal the Wolf King's fortune and stunt his future cultivation.

• Chu Xinghe defended giving the Moon-Gazing Rhinoceros to Ding Feng, while the Wolf King accepted his explanation.
• The Wolf King revealed that he had reached Peak Mystic God but lacked the resources to set up the Mystic God Ascension Array and asked Chu Xinghe and White Tiger Holy Venerable for help.
• Chu Xinghe claimed the Wolf King's opportunity had arrived and summoned White Tiger Holy Venerable to the Spirit Crane Palace.
• White Tiger Holy Venerable identified the Mystic God Ascension Array as the Fate Mark Array and explained that its caster could take the participant's power and fortune.
• The Wolf King realized the array might explain why the Wolf Clan had never produced another Main God, despite its ancestor's breakthrough.

White Tiger explained that the Mystic God Ascension Array could steal luck and permanently weaken its user, but his modifications removed those drawbacks at the cost of an extremely low success rate. Just as the Wolf King gave up on the risky breakthrough, Wu Man arrived with a former Demon God's arm bone to help him reach Half-Step Main God.

• The Wolf King realized the Demon God might have stolen the luck of past array users, preventing them from advancing to Main God.
• White Tiger warned Ming Han that the array's sacrifice permanently weakened users and made further breakthroughs nearly impossible.
• White Tiger revealed that his modified array could avoid the sacrifice by using more resources, but had less than a ten percent chance of success.
• The Wolf King refused to risk the Wolf Clan's resources, while Chu Xinghe insisted that the Wolf King's time and fate had arrived.
• Wu Man requested an audience and offered the Wolf King a former Demon God's arm bone to aid his breakthrough.

Wu Man offered Wolf King the first-generation Demon God's arm bone as a chance to break through to the Half-Step Main God realm, leaving Chu Xinghe amazed by Wu Man's continued contributions to the Vast Heaven Holy Land. The chapter ended with Wu Man warning that the bone's power could trap Wolf King forever in a spirit-sealing world.

• Wu Man entered with the first-generation Demon God's arm bone, and White Tiger and Wolf King recognized its immense demonic power.
• Wolf King realized the arm bone was the opportunity Chu Xinghe had predicted, while White Tiger explained how Wu Man had repeatedly helped build up the Vast Heaven Holy Land.
• Wolf King took the arm bone and confirmed it contained the first-generation Demon God's inheritance.
• Wu Man warned Wolf King that the Demon God's resentment had formed a spirit-sealing world inside the bone that could trap him forever.

Wu Man explained why he had warned the Wolf King about the Demon God's Arm Bone, hoping to avoid blame and survive whichever way the trap unfolded. After Vast Heaven Holy Land's leaders confirmed the bone's dangers, the Wolf King faced a choice between using it, waiting, or attempting the Fate Mark Array.

• Wu Man explained that he had disclosed the Demon God's Arm Bone's dangers to protect himself, while believing the Wolf King might risk using it for its power and inheritance.
• White Tiger brought the Wolf King, Chu Xinghe, and Wu Man to Haotian Palace and summoned Vast Heaven Holy Land's leaders.
• Elder He and the Great Sage identified the bone's resentment and warned that it could seal the Wolf King's spiritual power and trap him.
• The Wolf King defended Wu Man, and White Tiger confirmed that Wu Man had warned him beforehand, easing the leaders' suspicions.
• Gu Mingchao advised the Wolf King to avoid the bone and wait, while Chu Xinghe considered steering him toward the Fate Mark Array.
• The Wolf King was left to choose between the Demon God's Arm Bone, waiting, and the Fate Mark Array.

The Wolf King left the Demon God's Arm Bone at Vast Heaven Holy Land so Elder He and the Great Sage could investigate its resentment, while Chu Xinghe considered ways to help him reach the Half-Step Main God realm. When the usual methods failed, Elder He suggested bringing Wu Erke from Wujiang to use his Power of Void, and Chu Xinghe eagerly looked for Ma Liang to fetch the great inventor.

• The Wolf King agreed to leave the Demon God's Arm Bone at Vast Heaven Holy Land while Elder He and the Great Sage studied how to remove its resentment.
• The Grand Elder promoted Wu Man to a high-ranking outer sect disciple for offering up the bone, and Zang Ling concluded that Wu Man had truly defected.
• The Great Sage proposed having Demon Race members absorb the resentment, but Chu Xinghe and Elder He objected to the mass deaths it would require.
• Elder He suggested using Wu Erke's Power of Void to devour the resentment, though maintaining it would require an enormous amount of resources.
• Chu Xinghe realized the plan could consume vast resources and called for Ma Liang to go to Wujiang and bring Wu Erke.

Chu Xinghe sent Ma Liang to Wuj iang to bring Wu Erke and his Power of Void to the Vast Heaven Holy Land, hoping the power could consume the Demon God's resentment. Ma Liang reached Wu Erke after repeatedly bouncing off West Ridge's round-trip teleportation array, but found the inventor strangely dejected.

• Chu Xinghe learned from Shen Chun that Wu Erke's Power of Void devoured resources without leaving anything behind, and decided it might also consume the Wolf King's resentment.
• Chu Xinghe sent Ma Liang to Wuj iang to fetch Wu Erke, and Ma Liang repeatedly returned to his starting point because West Ridge's teleportation arrays forced travelers back.
• Jiuli explained that Wu Erke's Round-Trip Teleportation Array could only be broken by a master on the Great Elder's level, so Ma Liang traveled to the border and entered West Ridge on foot.
• Wuj iang's disciples recognized Ma Liang and took him to Wu Erke's laboratory, where Ma Liang saw that the area had been stripped bare by the Power of Void.
• Ma Liang found Wu Erke looking dejected and wondered whether the great inventor had already become a wreck.

Wu Erke's repeated invention failures left him too ashamed to accept Chu Xinghe's summons, despite his admiration for Chu Xinghe's achievements. After Ma Liang returned alone, Chu Xinghe sent him back with an invitation to create the future together.

• Wu Erke admired Chu Xinghe for pioneering Body Cultivation and opening the summoner's path, but doubted his own abilities after exhausting resources without producing successful inventions.
• Ma Liang invited Wu Erke to the Vast Heaven Holy Land, but Wu Erke refused because he believed he had disappointed Chu Xinghe.
• Ma Liang decided against forcibly taking Wu Erke and returned alone to report his refusal.
• Chu Xinghe learned that Wu Erke would not come, frustrating his plan to have Wu Erke consume the resources he had prepared.
• Chu Xinghe instructed Ma Liang to return and tell Wu Erke that he needed help with troubles beyond the Demon God's Arm Bone and wanted to create the future together.

Ma Liang persuaded Wu Erke that Chu Xinghe wanted him to discover and solve problems with him, restoring Wu Erke’s hope and enthusiasm. Wu Erke arrived at the Vast Heaven Holy Land dressed for the occasion, where Chu Xinghe welcomed him and promised to take the blame while they pursued their plans.

• Chu Xinghe told Ma Liang to frame their invitation as a chance for Wu Erke to discover problems and create the future alongside him.
• Ma Liang returned to the West Ridge and told Wu Erke that Chu Xinghe had invited him to the Vast Heaven Holy Land to create the future together.
• Ma Liang convinced Wu Erke that he needed to discover problems and solutions himself, and Wu Erke eagerly prepared to travel to the Vast Heaven Holy Land.
• Wu Erke explained that his teleportation array could return travelers to their original locations without a second expenditure of resources.
• Ma Liang brought Wu Erke to the Vast Heaven Holy Land, where Chu Xinghe welcomed him and promised to take the blame for their coming exploits.

Wu Erke’s hands-off leadership helped Wuj iang prosper, and Chu Xinghe brought him to meet Vast Heaven Holy Land’s leaders before showing him the Demon God's Arm Bone. Wu Erke detected its hidden resentment and drew dark green radiance from it, leaving the others stunned.

• Wuj iang grew peaceful and prosperous under Wu Erke, as both ridges developed with ample resources and freedom from war.
• The Wuj iang Holy Mother concluded that Chu Xinghe had chosen the right leader, since Wu Erke treated both ridges equally and suited Wuj iang better than Wu Erhan.
• Chu Xinghe took the reluctant Wu Erke to visit the Vast Heaven Holy Land’s leaders, and they arrived at Elder He's Thunder Palace that evening.
• Elder He led Chu Xinghe, Wu Erke, and the Great Sage into a secret chamber to see the Demon God's Arm Bone.
• Wu Erke sensed the bone’s resentment, then drew countless wisps of dark green radiance from it with a dark light in his hand.

Wu Erke extracted the resentment from the Demon God's Arm Bone but could not remove it without destroying the Demon God's inheritance, so Chu Xinghe turned to his other abilities as a way to consume resources. After bringing Wu Erke to the Civil Engineering Department to meet Ding Feng, Chu Xinghe hoped the two could devour resources together.

• Wu Erke drew the resentment out of the Demon God's Arm Bone and explained that removing it would also consume the inheritance and power within the bone.
• Wu Erke admitted he had no way to resolve the resentment, and Chu Xinghe took him to meet the Wuj iang Holy Mother.
• The Wuj iang Holy Mother asked Chu Xinghe to find a way for Wuj iang to earn resources, and he claimed he already had a plan.
• Chu Xinghe brought Wu Erke to the Civil Engineering Department, where Wu Erke praised Ding Feng's ability to devour spiritual power without harming its target.
• Chu Xinghe urged Azure Dragon to prepare resources so Wu Erke and Ding Feng could devour them while discussing their abilities.

Chu Xinghe arranged for Wu Erke and Ding Feng to research the Innate Defective Physique while devouring Vast Heaven Holy Land’s resources, convinced their work could not produce a threat. As their consumption grew and Zheng Yu copied the idea in Martial Emperor City, the Wolf King arrived, and Chu Xinghe asked Wu Erke to investigate the Demon God's Arm Bone too.

• Chu Xinghe urged Wu Erke and Ding Feng to snack on spirit treasures as they discussed the Innate Defective Physique and the Power of Void.
• Chu Xinghe persuaded Wu Erke to stay in the Civil Engineering Department and research Ding Feng’s physique every day, and Wu Erke agreed.
• Wu Erke and Ding Feng’s research increased their resource consumption, alarming the Vast Heaven Holy Land’s Grand Elder, while Zheng Yu ordered Martial Emperor City’s Innate Defective Physique to devour resources as well.
• Chu Xinghe watched Wu Erke and Ding Feng compete to consume resources and felt reassured that Ma Liang had no plan to thwart him.
• The Wolf King arrived at the Vast Heaven Holy Land, and Chu Xinghe brought him and the Demon God's Arm Bone to Wu Erke to investigate whether the Power of Void could devour its resentment.

Chu Xinghe struggled to answer when the Wolf King asked him to divine whether he could reach the Half-Step Main God realm, fearing either answer could harm the Wolf King's resolve. After the Great Sage and White Tiger explained the risks and costs of rescuing him from the Demon God's Arm Bone, Chu Xinghe declared that his divination showed the breakthrough was possible.

• Chu Xinghe learned that Wu Erke and Ding Feng could not remove the resentment from the Demon God's Arm Bone without also devouring its inheritance.
• The Wolf King insisted on attempting to absorb the inheritance, but Gu Mingchao and Ji Ya urged him to wait.
• The Wolf King asked Chu Xinghe to use the Star Divination Art to predict whether he would succeed, leaving Chu Xinghe unsure what to say.
• The Great Sage and White Tiger warned that the Wolf King could become trapped in the bone's Spirit-Forbidden Realm and that rescuing him would require the resource-intensive God-Controlling Formation.
• As the Wolf King prepared to give up, Chu Xinghe announced that his divination showed the breakthrough was possible.

Chu Xinghe encouraged Ming Han to merge with the Demon God's Arm Bone at the Vast Heaven Holy Land, claiming his Star Divination Art guaranteed success, though he knew the breakthrough could go badly. He explained that he lied to protect the Wolf King's confidence and vowed to use the God-Controlling Formation to rescue him if necessary.

• The Great Sage and White Tiger warned the Wolf King that the Demon God's Arm Bone inheritance could trap him and that rescuing him would consume vast resources, so Ming Han prepared to give up.
• Chu Xinghe told Ming Han that the Star Divination Art foretold certain success and insisted he break through at the Vast Heaven Holy Land.
• Chu Xinghe privately planned to use the God-Controlling Formation to enter the Spirit-Forbidden Realm and search for Ming Han if he became trapped, hoping the formation's resource consumption would help him reach Half-Step Main God.
• The Grand Elder and Great Sage questioned Chu Xinghe's claim, and he admitted that Ming Han's breakthrough might not be easy.
• Chu Xinghe explained that telling Ming Han he would fail could deepen his lingering fear from Yuan Zheng's Mystic God Lightning Tribulation and create a Heart Demon.
• Chu Xinghe said he had lied to preserve Ming Han's confidence and was willing to enter the Prohibition Realm with the God-Controlling Formation to help him reach Half-Step Main God.

Chu Xinghe arranged for the Wolf King to fuse with the Demon God's Arm Bone and watched over his breakthrough, while Wu Erke discovered his Power of Void could devour formations. Ding Feng wondered whether it could also devour contracts, and the two turned their attention to the Moon-Gazing Rhinoceros.

• Chu Xinghe concealed his risky plan from the Wolf King, and the Grand Elder and others supported spending resources on the God-Controlling Formation to help him reach the Half-Step Main God realm.
• Ma Liang mistook Chu Xinghe's claim that they would not take a loss for a promise they would make a killing, while Gu Mingchao advised him to watch and wait.
• Senior Brother Shen Chun prepared a place for the Wolf King to fuse with the Demon God's Arm Bone, and Chu Xinghe stayed nearby to monitor him personally.
• Wu Erke learned that Chu Xinghe was watching over the Wolf King and redoubled his efforts in the Civil Engineering Department; meanwhile, Azure Dragon's Divine Hall had already been converted into a public latrine.
• Wu Erke discovered his Power of Void could devour barriers and formations, then told Ding Feng about it.
• Ding Feng wondered if the Power of Void could devour contracts, and he and Wu Erke stared at the Moon-Gazing Rhinoceros, startling it awake.

Wu Erke and Ding Feng tested whether the Power of Void could devour Ding Feng’s master-recognition contract with the Moon-Gazing Rhinoceros, hoping to let him obtain an awakened spirit beast. Though the contract vanished, Ding Feng remained connected to the rhinoceros and could only sign a new contract with it, but he then came up with an even bolder idea.

• Wu Erke told Ding Feng that the Power of Void could devour almost anything, including formations, and they wondered whether it could devour a master-recognition contract.
• Wu Erke used the Power of Void to devour the contract between Ding Feng and the Moon-Gazing Rhinoceros, apparently severing their connection.
• Wu Erke brought Ding Feng a new awakened spirit beast, but their attempt to make it recognize Ding Feng as its master failed when the new contract vanished.
• Ding Feng realized he still sensed a connection to the Moon-Gazing Rhinoceros and could still direct it despite the vanished contract.
• Wu Erke helped Ding Feng sign a new contract with the Moon-Gazing Rhinoceros, and Ding Feng came up with an even bolder idea.

Ding Feng and Wu Erke discovered they could awaken already-bound spirit beasts by devouring their master-binding contracts, resetting the beasts to blank slates, and having the Demon Race awaken them before their masters formed new contracts. After Ma Liang’s Nebula Spirit Cat successfully completed the process, Wu Erke celebrated their breakthrough and credited Chu Xinghe’s vision.

• Ding Feng realized his Innate Defective Physique could reset a spirit beast once Wu Erke devoured its master-binding contract, allowing it to awaken again.
• Ding Feng reset the Moon-Gazing Rhinoceros, and a Demon Race member awakened it before it formed a new master-binding contract with Ding Feng.
• Ma Liang urged them to finish testing the method before telling Chu Xinghe, who was watching over the Wolf King.
• Wu Erke devoured the contract binding Ma Liang to his Nebula Spirit Cat, and Ding Feng reset the beast so the Demon Race member could awaken it.
• Ma Liang formed a new contract with the awakened Nebula Spirit Cat, confirming the method worked and leaving Wu Erke celebrating their achievement.

Wu Erke and Ding Feng demonstrated how the Power of Void and Ding Feng’s Innate Defective Physique could reset spirit beasts and let them awaken a second time. The Vast Heaven Holy Land’s leaders realized Chu Xinghe had planned to offer second awakenings to spirit-beast owners, while Wu Erke and Ding Feng gained recognition for their roles.

• Wu Erke realized Chu Xinghe’s plans had led to the spirit beasts’ second awakening and that his Power of Void had a crucial purpose.
• Ma Liang understood that Chu Xinghe had anticipated the entire process, with Wu Erke and Ding Feng as the key to resolving the limits on awakened spirit beasts.
• Ma Liang summoned the Vast Heaven Holy Land’s elders, Holy Lord Gu Mingchao, and Holy Empress Ji Ya to witness Wu Erke and Ding Feng demonstrate their results.
• Wu Erke used the Power of Void to devour a master-recognition contract, and Ding Feng reset a spirit beast so it could awaken again and recognize a new master.
• Ji Ya realized Chu Xinghe intended to give existing spirit beasts a second awakening rather than sell them, creating a way for the Vast Heaven Holy Land to profit.
• Wu Erke became recognized as a true Great Inventor, and Ding Feng’s Innate Defective Physique was revealed as a divine physique.
