Fang Chen and the New Alliance built the Time Herb Garden, proving it could cultivate Spirit Medicines at accelerated rates and eventually producing a vast, thriving complex. The garden supplied over ninety-five percent of the ingredients for two crucial pills, but the Alliance remained stuck searching for rare materials from extinct Primordial creatures.

  • Fang Chen, Li Qingyao, and the other teams spent years constructing the Hive Matrix and testing its spaces.
  • Li Qingyao reported that Test Space Number One had stably grown Stargrass at a three-hundredfold Time Flow Rate with medicinal properties matching the Ancient Records.
