• Yang Wu turned his attention to Talent Withdrawal, and a familiar sensation surged over him as he entered the depths of his mind.

• Babata noticed Yang Wu had reached Star Level, Level 2, and reconsidered the risks as it weighed the group’s need for resources.
• Yang Wu reminded Babata that resources could help Luo Feng grow and allow them to revive Yun Mo Star and avenge Huyan Bo, so Babata agreed to sell the corpses.

• Babata pointed out that Earth’s four extraordinary geniuses appearing together was extraordinarily unlikely, and Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God left Yang Wu’s Sky Castle troubled by the planet’s hidden secret.

• Yang Wu concluded that he would need to become a valuable bargaining chip to protect Earth and accepted that Hong might draw attention to it.
• Yang Wu's first avatar attempt failed, but years of heavy investment raised his physical condition to Star Level fifth rank, while Luo Feng and the others set out for the universe.

• Luo Feng passed the third level of the Sky Piercing Bridge while Yang Wu remained in meditation, and the simulation offered Yang Wu a choice of three rewards.

• Yang Wu recalled that Starry Sky Beast hair tissue would appear at the Ganwu Auction in October 2062 and resolved to bid for some.
