The Ghost Rat Race became the Central Plains Merchant Alliance’s ruler in name, while Song Ankang remained hidden behind its rule.

After losing another exchange with Flame of Breaking Barriers, Song Ankang continued cultivating until he learned that the Vampire Race possessed the Dao Integration Pill, a treasure that could aid comprehension of Rule Power. He set the Ghost Rat Race against the Vampires to create an opportunity to obtain it, leaving the Vampire Race confused by accusations that they had stolen resources from the Nether Race.

After the Ghost Rat Race gained a third of the Vampire Race’s territory, Song Ankang returned to An City to consolidate his power and resources.

• Song Ankang traded nine thousand five hundred Fifth Grade Talent Beads with Talent Bug Aman, who asked him for ten strands of World Tree origin to heal a clan ancestor.
• Song Ankang agreed to the request because Talent Bug Aman offered Fourth Grade Upper Talent Beads and Song Ankang could replenish the World Tree’s lost origin.
• Song Ankang sent Talent Bug Aman ten strands of origin in a World Tree Leaf and received one thousand Fourth Grade Upper Talent Beads in return.

Song Ankang used Fourth Grade Upper Talent Beads to improve his talent and aptitude, while the World Tree sapling absorbed their power and grew to a bottleneck at nine hundred and ninety-nine li. He traded the resulting wealth for more resources, greatly improving his comprehension, and paused his own talent growth while preparing the sapling for a breakthrough.
