The Blood God Clone learned that another Demon God would descend and helped Bloodshed Demon Venerable plan to shift blame for Sa Yanluo Demon God's defeat onto Gu Guo Demon God. Bloodshed Demon Venerable then entrusted him with temporary command of the Blood Race in the Light Universe until Demon Venerable Level beings arrived.

• Bloodshed Demon Venerable refused to reveal Black Heaven's method for destroying a True God Level being, but explained that one Demon God would soon descend and Sa Yanluo Demon God would face accountability for its defeat.

• The Blood God Clone examined a crimson technological gate and reflected on how Wang Teng Main Body’s outlook had shaped his ability to appreciate different aesthetics.

The Blood God Clone entered the Blood Clan Void Fortress’s restricted core hall and discovered technology that rivaled the Mechanical Race’s. After collecting its Attribute Bubbles, he gained rune insights and encountered the mysterious Source of Intelligent Machinery, leaving him eager to learn more about the hall’s origins.

• Xue Erman had the Blood God Clone use the Blood Child Token to open the hall, while Xue Lanbo, Xue Nier, and the other geniuses stayed outside.
• The Blood God Clone entered the hall and was astonished by its advanced instruments and technological sophistication.
• The Blood God Clone collected Attribute Bubbles and improved his Ancient Blood Rune, Mechanical Rune, and Ancient Mechanical Rune insights.
• The Blood God Clone gained Soul Essence and Source of Intelligent Machinery attributes, leading him to suspect that an Intelligent Lifeform operated the hall.
• The Blood God Clone realized the Source of Intelligent Machinery resembled both Mechanical Race energy and the Chaos Beast’s source power, and wondered how it had originated.

Wang Teng used the Source of Intelligent Machinery he received from his Blood God Clone to tempt Yuan Gungun, then learned about its origin and decided it resembled the golden spheres from the Chaos Secret Realm. He ultimately let Yuan Gungun absorb it, leaving it grateful and eager to improve its strength.

• The Blood God Clone absorbed the special energy, while the Source of Intelligent Machinery disappeared and reappeared with Wang Teng Main Body.
• Wang Teng released the Source of Intelligent Machinery in his Chaos Star Region, and Yuan Gungun rushed over to ask what it was.
• Wang Teng teased Yuan Gungun about giving it the source, then learned it was made by the Mechanical Race from Life Essence and Soul Essence.
• Yuan Gungun pleaded to absorb the source, explaining that it could strengthen its Source Power without side effects.
• Wang Teng compared the source to the golden spheres from the Chaos Secret Realm and described it as an artificial imitation.
• Wang Teng finally let Yuan Gungun absorb the Source of Intelligent Machinery, and Yuan Gungun thanked him.

Wang Teng helped Yuan Gungun absorb the Source of Intelligent Machinery, which strengthened its Source Power and gave it a greater Sense of Order. After reviewing records of unusual pill markings, Wang Teng identified his own as unique Heavenly Tribulation Pill Markings and began considering how rare treasures might produce markings of other attributes.

• Wang Teng stood guard while Yuan Gungun absorbed the Source of Intelligent Machinery, which it finished absorbing safely in half an hour.
• Yuan Gungun said the Source of Intelligent Machinery increased its Source Power and gave its life a greater Sense of Order, prompting Wang Teng to compare intelligent lifeforms’ programs with ordinary lifeforms’ genes.
• Yuan Gungun showed Wang Teng records of pill markings that absorbed powers of various attributes, and Wang Teng learned that no recorded markings absorbed Thunder Tribulation Power.
• Wang Teng and Yuan Gungun identified his lightning markings as Heavenly Tribulation Pill Markings and agreed that they were exceptionally rare and could serve as his exclusive markings.
• Wang Teng noticed that the recorded special pill markings had been refined using rare treasures whose attributes matched the markings, and he linked his own markings to the Medicine King Tribulation Heaven Furnace.
• Wang Teng suggested experimenting with pill markings of other attributes, while Yuan Gungun warned that using rare treasures in pill refinement would require care.

Wang Teng learned that the Darkness Breed Lair held hidden dangers and insisted on scouting it for the Coalition despite the Venerables’ objections. He persuaded them with an appeal to the greater good, and Ice True God asked how confident he was.

• Wang Teng returned from the Chaos Star Region and considered how to share the Blood God Clone’s intelligence about the Black Blood Void Fortress with the Light Universe’s leaders.
• Wang Teng proposed entering the Darkness Breed Lair to gather intelligence, but Old Man Ji, Venerable Tian Yan, and the other Venerables objected because the Coalition’s scouts had failed to return.

• Wang Teng declared that he was willing to risk his life for the Light Universe, moving the Venerables and making them reconsider their opposition.
• Ice True God asked Wang Teng how confident he was, and Wang Teng claimed he had a sixty-to-seventy-percent chance of success.

• Starfall Venerable revealed that Wang Teng had prepared his escape from the Bone Spirit Race Demon God and evaded its Soul Power, astonishing the experts.
• Ice True God approved Wang Teng's plan to gather intelligence at the Darkness Breed Lair, and the others thanked him for accepting the danger.

• Starfall Venerable gave Wang Teng a token to control a hidden batch of Mechanical Ants and told him their location.
• Wang Teng boarded the Fire River spacecraft and set off, leaving Old Man Ji, Luo Fu Te, and the others to hope for his safe return.

Wang Teng used the Mechanical Thunder Source Eye to bypass the Mechanical Race token’s defenses and uncover its extraordinary internal patterns. He became curious about the Mechanical Ants’ secrets, but had not yet explained his discovery to Yuan Gungun.

• Wang Teng examined Starfall Venerable’s Mechanical Race token and used the True Sight Eye and Mechanical Thunder Source Eye to investigate it.
• Wang Teng followed the token’s Mechanical Race order with the Mechanical Thunder Source Eye, dispelling its obstruction and discovering that the eye could help him understand Mechanical Race patterns.
• Wang Teng uncovered a vast, intricate formation inside the token and wondered whether the Mechanical Race could use machines to achieve work normally requiring Saint-level Peak Sub-Profession Users.
• Yuan Gungun said mechanical creations could not likely replace Saint-level Peak Sub-Profession Users, and explained that Mechanical Ants and Mechanical Puppets could be mass-produced while core technologies still required Sub-Profession Users.
• Wang Teng grew more curious about the secretive Mechanical Ants, then joked with Yuan Gungun about how kindly he treated people.
• Yuan Gungun asked Wang Teng what he had discovered, but Wang Teng had not yet answered.

Wang Teng examined the Mechanical Race token, judged it to be at least Saint-level Late Stage, and deciphered three-fifths of its runes.

• Wang Teng assessed the Mechanical Race token as an extraordinary Saint-level artifact and studied its runes with help from his Mechanical Ant attributes.
• Wang Teng compared the token's runes with the Mechanical Ant structures and identified a mother-and-child control system.
• Wang Teng discovered that the token could make Mechanical Ants form multiple arrays, astonishing Yuan Gungun.
• Wang Teng stopped deciphering after reaching three-fifths of the token's structure and put it away.
• Wang Teng told Yuan Gungun he had grasped enough of the array structure to probably control Mechanical Ants without the token.

Wang Teng and Yuan Gungun discussed how to control the Mechanical Ants without alerting the Mechanical Race, then Elder Dan Chen warned Wang Teng about the danger of infiltrating the Darkness Breed Lair. He revealed that the Sub-Profession Alliance Headquarters had left numerous backup plans there, giving Wang Teng information and a map to investigate.

• Wang Teng and Yuan Gungun discussed limiting their use of the Mechanical Token and possibly erasing the Mechanical Ants' memories without leaving traces.
• Elder Dan Chen contacted Wang Teng and warned him that heading to the Darkness Breed Lair after facing a Demon God Level existence was dangerous.

• Elder Dan Chen revealed that the Sub-Profession Alliance had left backup plans at its former headquarters, now occupied by the Darkness Breeds.
• Elder Dan Chen sent Wang Teng information and a detailed map marking dozens of backup-plan locations.

Wang Teng discovered that a hidden Small Space Array could let him enter and leave the Darkness Breed’s territory, giving him a way to join the Blood God Clone. Elder Dan Chen also told him that the Sub-Profession Alliance viewed him as a lifeline and hoped to use his achievements to restore its standing, and Wang Teng was willing to accept the challenge.

• Elder Dan Chen pointed Wang Teng to a two-way Small Space Array concealed in the Void Turbulence Belt, and Wang Teng realized he could use it to infiltrate the Darkness Breed Lair.
• Elder Dan Chen revealed that some Sub-Profession Alliance leaders had considered retreating, and Wang Teng grew furious at the thought of abandoning the warriors still fighting.
• Elder Dan Chen assured Wang Teng that the leaders had rejected retreat unless they reached the end of the road, easing Wang Teng’s anger.
• Elder Dan Chen explained that Wang Teng’s achievements had given the Sub-Profession Alliance hope because powerful beings believed he could influence the war’s outcome.
• Elder Dan Chen said the Alliance wanted to promote Wang Teng as a standard-bearer and use his reputation to restore its own standing, and Wang Teng decided the benefits outweighed the drawbacks.

Elder Dan Chen asked Wang Teng to accept the Sub-Profession Alliance Headquarters’ plan to use his fame, and Wang Teng eagerly negotiated for greater rewards. He secured a promise of 500 million points and one Saint-level Peak Inheritance, then asked whether he could get another inheritance before denying that he had a God Level one.

• Elder Dan Chen mistook Wang Teng’s excitement for fear, then offered to protect him while asking him to accept the plan.
• Wang Teng rejected Elder Dan Chen’s provocation and demanded tangible benefits in exchange for agreeing.
• Elder Dan Chen offered 300 million points and one Saint-level Peak Inheritance, but Wang Teng argued that the points were insufficient for a Seven Sub-Profession Saint.
• Elder Dan Chen agreed to discuss adding another 200 million points, and Wang Teng accepted while pretending the total would barely suffice.
• Wang Teng asked for a second inheritance, but Elder Dan Chen refused and demanded to know whether Wang Teng had obtained a God Level Sub-Profession Inheritance.
• Wang Teng denied having a God Level Inheritance and said he had hoped Elder Dan Chen would give him one.

Wang Teng showed Elder Dan Chen his intelligent Three Flowers Jade Dew Pill and argued that his rapid progress meant he could reach the Saint-level Peak within a few years. Elder Dan Chen agreed to consult the Sub-Profession Alliance Headquarters about Wang Teng’s requested inheritance and other benefits, including a possible position.

• Wang Teng presented his Three Flowers Jade Dew Pill, and Elder Dan Chen praised its intelligence and 100% Mastery.
• Wang Teng told Elder Dan Chen he was absolutely certain he could reach the Saint-level Peak within a few years and revealed that he had begun studying Sub-Professions at seventeen.
• Elder Dan Chen believed Wang Teng but said he needed to discuss the request with the Sub-Profession Alliance Headquarters and hinted that further benefits could involve a position.
• Elder Dan Chen asked to study the pill, which trembled at the prospect, and Wang Teng explained that it had been frightened when others nearly consumed it.

Wang Teng discussed the Three Flowers Jade Dew Pill with Elder Dan Chen, who explained how rare pill traits were and why Wang Teng’s perfected pill had developed them. Elder Dan Chen planned to record Wang Teng’s method in the Sub-Profession Alliance archives and secured permission to take a small amount of the pill for research.

• Wang Teng realized Elder Dan Chen had used a mental method through the communication equipment to soothe the Three Flowers Jade Dew Pill, and considered testing similar methods on Darkness Breeds.
• Wang Teng explained that Heaven and Earth Strange Fire and Heaven and Earth Tribulation Lightning had created the pill’s unique markings, which Elder Dan Chen recognized as impossible to replicate.
• Elder Dan Chen explained that pill traits could arise in pills refined to perfection, but were rare and more likely to appear in Saint-level pills than Great Grandmaster Level pills.
• Elder Dan Chen said he would record Wang Teng’s pioneering refinement method in the Sub-Profession Alliance archives, and Wang Teng welcomed the boost to his reputation.
• Elder Dan Chen asked to study the Three Flowers Jade Dew Pill and take a little material; Wang Teng agreed after hearing the pill would recover by absorbing medicinal power.

Wang Teng negotiated with Elder Dan Chen for rewards in exchange for helping the Sub-Profession Alliance, then continued toward the Darkness Breed Lair. Meanwhile, his Blood God Clone awakened the Blood Race’s Intelligent Lifeform in the fortress and discovered a striking World Lord-level girl who recognized him as the Blood Son.

• Elder Dan Chen accepted Wang Teng’s request for five hundred million points and other benefits, then ended their communication.
• Wang Teng and Yuan Gungun discussed the map of the former Sub-Profession Alliance Headquarters, the Mechanical Race, and the risks of accepting the Alliance’s rewards.

• The Blood God Clone learned that Wang Teng’s main body had set out and decided to investigate the fortress’s Intelligent Lifeform while seeking more benefits from the Blood Race.
• The Blood God Clone activated the Blood Child Token, causing a silver-haired girl with red ears to appear from a blood-colored crystal.
• The girl woke, revealed her face, and recognized the Blood God Clone as the Blood Son, remarking that many years had passed since the last one appeared.
