• High Priest Zhen Lanyue watched the phantom from her treehouse and realized that Gou Sen possessed the bloodline of the former rulers of the world.

Gou Sen’s breakthrough revealed his Titan Bloodline, stunning the Divine Wood Forest and prompting Zhen Lanyue to connect him to the Tree God’s plans for a group from seventy thousand years ago. He then began opening the Bitter Sea Realm’s four great apertures.

• Zhen Lanyue realized Gou Sen possessed the Titan Bloodline and wondered whether he was connected to the group the Tree God had awaited for seventy thousand years.

The old man showed Lu Jun how his Human-Body Fruits became the ancestors of the Wood Elves and how conflict over the fruits led him to develop intelligence. He revealed that the world’s Divine Pill, Opening the Apertures, and Spirit Transformation cultivation realms were inspired by his fruit-bearing process.

• The old man showed Lu Jun how he grew from a seed into a great tree and bore infant-shaped fruits that other races harvested for their cultivation and longevity.
