• Ji Hao concludes that he must leave “coordinates” across the River of Time, potentially through the creation of numerous Other Selves. However, his current condition prevents him from doing so safely, since leaving the Thunder Emperor’s body might return him to his original time.

He senses that Ji Hao’s cultivation system contains deeper mysteries, and Ji Hao tells him that he must discover and develop them himself.
• Ji Hao predicts that Shi Hao’s future achievements will rival or even surpass his own. Liu Shen is skeptical because Shi Hao’s current talent appears ordinary compared with the great prodigies of the upper realms.
• Ji Hao explains that ultimate greatness depends not only on talent, but also on Dao nature, perseverance, and Fortune Aura. He identifies Shi Hao as someone destined to become the greatest hope of the Heavens and Myriad Realms.
• Over several months, Stone Village becomes increasingly prosperous. Its hunters grow dramatically stronger, and the village accumulates so much fierce-beast meat that Ji Hao creates a Small World for storage.
• Neighboring Bei Village becomes suspicious and launches a sneak attack while Stone Village’s hunters are away. Believing Stone Village’s sacrificial spirit, Liu Shen, to be incapacitated, Bei Village expects an easy victory.
• Instead, Stone Village’s enhanced villagers overwhelm the attackers. Shi Hao dominates the battle, defeating Bei Feng, Bei Village’s strongest youth, with ease.
• Bei Feng attempts a treacherous sneak attack after being spared. Shi Hao destroys his artifact and kills him with a single palm strike. This is Shi Hao’s first killing, leaving him briefly shocked and emotionally unsettled.
• Bei Village’s chief, Bei Liqing, summons their sacrificial spirit, the ancient winged Bei beast. The sacrificial spirit remains cautious, suspecting that Liu Shen may still possess the power to act.
• The Bei sacrificial spirit ultimately launches a second attack using dozens of enormous wolves as expendable vanguards. Stone Village’s hunters slaughter most of them and kill many Bei Village warriors, including Bei Liqing.

2. Character Developments

He remains innocent and kind-hearted, initially sparing his enemies, but Bei Feng’s betrayal forces him to confront the reality of killing. Afterward, Ji Hao helps him overcome his guilt. His battle against the wolves shows that he can remain calm and determined even when protecting his home.
• Ji Hao: Acts as Shi Hao’s mentor and protective elder brother. Rather than solving every crisis himself, he deliberately allows Shi Hao to face danger and gain experience. His confidence in Shi Hao’s future reveals his deep understanding of the boy’s potential and destiny.
• Liu Shen: Continues refining Tribulation Lightning Liquid in seclusion. Her apparent inactivity becomes a major factor in Bei Village’s calculations, though her true condition remains uncertain.
• The old Bei sacrificial spirit: Revealed as ancient, cautious, calculating, and extremely ruthless. It treats its own villagers and wolves as disposable tools and sees Shi Hao not as a child but as a valuable source of life and power.
• Stone Village: The villagers evolve from simple hunters into a formidable collective. Their physical strength, coordination, and willingness to defend one another make them far more powerful than before.
• Bei Village: Its arrogance and greed lead to disaster. After underestimating Stone Village, it suffers heavy casualties and loses both its chief and strongest young warrior.

3. Significant Themes

• Potential beyond appearances: Shi Hao seems ordinary by the standards of the upper realm, but his future is shaped by perseverance, destiny, Dao nature, and extraordinary Fortune Aura.
• The importance of adversity: Ji Hao believes true power must be forged through “blood and fire,” so he allows Shi Hao to participate in real battles rather than shielding him completely.
• Innocence confronting violence: Shi Hao’s first killing marks an important step in his maturation. His kindness remains intact, but he begins to understand that mercy cannot always protect his people.
• Community and protection: Stone Village’s strength is portrayed as collective. The villagers fight to protect their homes, families, and the lights of their village rather than for personal glory.
• Greed and exploitation: The old Bei views Shi Hao as a “human-shaped medicine,” showing the cruelty of powerful beings who reduce others to resources for their own survival.
• Destiny and supreme cultivation: The appearance of the Immortal King-like vision foreshadows Shi Hao’s eventual rise to the highest realms and confirms that his path is fundamentally extraordinary.
