• True Lords from the major races demanded a share of the ancient structure on Human Race territory as more races gathered at the island.

After four geniuses finally arrived from Nameless Mountain, Ye Lin grew furious at the delay, and the Jade Emperor mocked his control over the Human Race.

• The Jade Emperor reflected that the Heavenly Dao would suppress him if he used his cultivation while still bearing the mark of the previous era.
