He got straight to work.
Jiang You first returned to the settlement and announced that the danger had passed. Then he told his people to prepare their bronze tools, find two spots within Paradise Mountain large enough to hold the Titan's and Dragon's bodies, and dig two enormous pits!
He intended to hide the bodies and make use of them for a long time to come.
Then he picked up the Blue Stone and flew toward the place where the Titan and Dragon had killed each other.
When he reached the site again.
The two demigod creatures had stopped bleeding. Demigod bodies were far from ordinary.
Yet several pools of golden blood had still collected beneath them.
At the same time, because the powers of light and darkness could scarcely coexist.
The places where their blood mingled hissed, as though something were constantly being worn away, until both decayed together!
Seeing this, Jiang You abandoned the idea of bathing in Titan and Dragon blood together.
But he still had to choose between light and darkness, between Titan and Dragon.
He looked himself over and decided that he preferred humanoid creatures.
So he approached the pool of Titan blood and jumped in, clutching the Blue Stone!
"Aah!!"
In an instant, pain pierced his very marrow and swept through his entire body. He felt every inch of his skin, every cell, burning!
It was as though he had been thrown back into a furnace to be remade, his entire body hammered like parts being forged. A lethally violent sensation tore his bloodline out of him, then forced it back in!
But soon, the Blue Stone began to glow softly. A cooling sensation spread throughout his body, dispelling the violent feeling and calming his bloodline's mutation.
Jiang You barely had time to breathe a sigh of relief before agonizing pain struck again, as though he had plunged through all eighteen levels of hell.
It hurt. It hurt so much!
This time, there was no lake water to dilute the blood. He was immersed in pure Titan blood.
Beyond his awareness, the system kept chiming! But he had no energy left to check it.
This cycle continued for three days and three nights. By the time he could no longer feel pain, when only his powerful will sustained his unyielding consciousness, just a tenth of the Titan blood remained in the hollow. Its radiance had completely faded, leaving it like any ordinary substance.
Only then did Jiang You recover.
First, he examined his body and discovered that all the gray-black feathers on his wings had fallen away, replaced by pure white ones.
His hair had also turned entirely silver. Aside from those on his wings, all the feathers on his body, including his face, had fallen away, revealing handsome features and fair skin.
Because he had bathed in the Light Female Titan's blood, his charisma had increased tremendously.
What delighted him most, however, was that his taloned hands and feet had fully transformed into human hands and feet, no different from those of the humans in his previous life.
With humanlike hands and feet, there were so many more things he could do, and his combat prowess had also increased greatly!
Only then did he have time to look through the System Panel.
As soon as he opened it, a flood of system messages appeared.

Curiosity flickered in Jiang You's eyes when he saw the option to name his race.
He was tempted to name it Angel, but the instant that thought arose, he sensed an immense terror abruptly descend and hastily abandoned the idea!
Claim a station beyond your worth, and heaven will strike you down!
"Since I can't be an Angel, being one of the Winged People will do for now! System, name the new race: Winged People!"
Jiang You spoke decisively.
[Congratulations, player. Naming successful. Race changed from Eagleman to Winged People!]
