• The system announced that Su Yang had surpassed twenty million points and unlocked the authority to tell stories outside the Trilogy.
• Su Yang examined the system’s new story selection, recognized it as a classic, and concluded that its strongest figures would offer little improvement over his current power.

Su Yang examined three possible books and discovered that the third described the Mythical Primordial World, where a Mythical Grand Unity had treated the familiar Primordial World’s history as a story.

• Empress Nuwa, Empress Houtu, and Sect Master Tongtian reacted with shock as Su Yang named the realm.
