• Zhan En described the strength thresholds from Level 1 through Level 12 and said the God Kingdom had five Level 11 powerhouses.
• Jiang Fan asked about higher levels, and Zhan En explained that cultivation resources and Heaven and Earth Energy set each planet’s ultimate limit.

• Jiang Fan sensed the Spirit Liquid’s dense energy and asked why Zhan En remained around Level 10 if absorbing enough of it made breakthroughs easy.

Jiang Fan verified Zhan En’s proposal by searching his memories, then forced him to swallow a sealed toxic fungus as insurance before agreeing to cooperate.

Zhan En accepted the decision for now and was ordered to introduce Jiang Fan to the Qiyuan Star Domain before they departed for work.

• Zhan En introduced Jiang Fan as a Level 10 native of the Barbaric Planet Blue Star, prompting the leaders to question how he had cultivated so far.

Jiang Fan and Zhan En left to prepare for their departure from the God Kingdom in seven days, while a young woman watched the confrontation and decided to visit Sailuo.

• Sailuo taunted Jiang Fan and offered to lend him money, prompting Zhan En to warn Jiang Fan against provoking the God Kingdom’s forces.

• Zhan En mocked Sailuo about getting someone pregnant, then Jiang Fan led him away to gather cultivation resources before they left in seven days.
• A young woman watching from a shop said Jiang Fan was interesting, heard a burly middle-aged man predict Sailuo would make him disappear, and decided to go let Sailuo know she had witnessed his setback.

• Sailuo begged the unseen attacker for mercy and realized Jiang Fan was the one who had ambushed him.
• Sailuo offered Jiang Fan 20,000 bottles of Spirit Liquid and promised to persuade his father to give Jiang Fan a high-ranking post in the God Kingdom.
