Meanwhile, Lin Xiaofeng reached a critical point in Qin Feng’s illusion, gaining the power to seize control of “Dark Shadow” and preparing to face his next choice.

• Qin Feng considered whether to use the Emberfire Temple followers to increase his divinity limit through Illusion or pursue a new grand authority.

• Heitian explained that the challenge required Qin Feng to keep his greed toward the treasure chests and the authority at or below 1%, and revealed Qin Feng’s values were below 0.1%.

As the assembled factions awaited the gate, Eye of Knowledge · Floyd secretly asked the Time Temple’s old man about the Emberfire Temple’s hidden Fire Dragon.

• Qin Feng waited until Ileinasi's Love reached 100 stacks, then ordered Livia to collect ten thousand White Feathers and left.
• Temple Masters from across the Land of Order gathered at the Binary Star Civilization before the Time-Space Gate was due to open.

• Eye of Knowledge · Floyd secretly asked the black-robed old man from the Time Temple whether he knew the Emberfire Temple was hiding one of the Emberfire Heavenly Emperor’s old Pets, a Fire Dragon.

• The black-robed Time Temple elder told Floyd that he had orders to help protect the grand authority successors, one of whom might become the Final Arbiter.
• Floyd explained that the Omniscient Temple had spent immense lifespan trying and failing to learn details about the successors, confirming they possessed at least four grand authorities.

• A female Dream Temple master confronted Huolian Xing, who defended Yu Yan Jinhuo and brooded over Su An’s absence.
• Shadow 007 from Deep Blue and Dark Shadow from Blue Star arrived through a portal, drawing everyone’s attention to the start of the confrontation.

Qin Feng used illusory and judgment grand authorities to appear as Dark Shadow alongside an apparently genuine Shadow 007. Yu Yan Jinhuo sealed the area and unleashed the Emberfire Heavenly Emperor’s Divine Flame Dragon, which attacked the two with tier-34 Annihilation Heartfire.

• Qin Feng used his grand authorities and an Abyss Puppet to create a convincing Shadow 007 beside his real Dark Shadow identity.
• Yu Yan Jinhuo sealed the area within a thousand kilometers and summoned the Emberfire Heavenly Emperor’s Divine Flame Dragon, Chilin Jiao.
• Chilin Jiao’s divine flame domain amplified fire damage and suppressed five pieces of equipment on each hostile player, though Qin Feng’s strongest equipment resisted it.
• Chilin Jiao attacked Dark Shadow and Shadow 007 with tier-34 Annihilation Heartfire, claiming its damage was effectively invincible.

Divine Flame Dragon Chilin Jiao’s Annihilation Heartfire failed to harm Qin Feng or Shadow 007, who were immune to its damage. Chilin Jiao turned his attention to their allies, but Qin Feng unleashed the power of the Extreme Love Grand Authority against him.

• Divine Flame Dragon Chilin Jiao engulfed Qin Feng and Shadow 007 in Annihilation Heartfire, but both remained unharmed as the system displayed repeated “Immune” messages.
• Qin Feng claimed he was immune to damage from dragons, while Shadow 007 said it was immune to fire damage.
• Chilin Jiao accused Yu Yan Jinhuo and the Emberfire Temple powerhouses of failing to discover the assassins’ immunities, then guessed that Qin Feng’s Grand Authority talent granted immunity to all nine elements.
• With Annihilation Heartfire on cooldown, Chilin Jiao shifted his attention to White Fairy Weichen, Purple Fairy, and the others.
• Qin Feng spread his snow-white wings and enveloped Chilin Jiao with the power of the Extreme Love Grand Authority.

Qin Feng used the Extreme Love Grand Authority to make Divine Flame Dragon · Chilin Jiao become fiercely loyal to White Fairy · Weichen. The dragon imprisoned Yu Yan Jinhuo and the other Emberfire Temple members, leaving Weichen astonished to find himself its new boss.

• Qin Feng calculated that his divinity was sufficient to give Chilin Jiao level 4 affection, but not enough to reach level 5 or strip away all its desires.
• As Chilin Jiao prepared to attack Weichen, Qin Feng used the Extreme Love Grand Authority to target the dragon directly.
• Chilin Jiao immediately apologized to Weichen and treated him as its lord, while Qin Feng privately explained the authority’s effect and told Weichen to order the dragon to restrain the Emberfire Temple members.

He then ordered White Fairy Weichen to question the dragon about its master’s abilities, setting up the transmission of damaging information to Highest Heaven.

• Witch Meiyu admired Qin Feng after realizing his grand authority could change the affection of another grand authority’s Successor’s pet.
• Qin Feng ordered White Fairy Weichen to ask the fire dragon for the Emberfire Heavenly Emperor’s level, talent, combat skills, and bloodline.
• Weichen questioned the fire dragon, while the Temple Masters recognized that the Eye of Knowledge and Time Temple elder could transmit the information to Highest Heaven.
• Yu Yan Jinhuo realized that her actions had also endangered her father, and Qin Feng focused on bringing about the Emberfire Heavenly Emperor’s downfall.

Divine Flame Dragon · Chilin Jiao revealed the Emberfire Heavenly Emperor’s powerful talents and Primordial bloodlines, including the ability to revive in nearby flames and strip buffs from approaching enemies. Qin Feng judged that these abilities could counter him, while the Emberfire Heavenly Emperor learned that Chilin Jiao had awakened and suspected a Grand Authority Successor from the Blueprint World was behind the trouble.

• Divine Flame Dragon · Chilin Jiao explained that the Emberfire Heavenly Emperor’s fire damage ignored all defense and damage reduction.
• Divine Flame Dragon · Chilin Jiao revealed the Emberfire Heavenly Emperor’s Source of Fireseed bloodline, which let him revive in nearby flames and remove buffs from enemies who approached.

Qin Feng used the Time Temple elder’s Time Minor Authority to extend Chilin Jiao’s time, and Yu Yan Jinhuo watched her faith in her father’s supposedly reliable information collapse.

• The Emberfire Heavenly Emperor speculated that Chilin Jiao would kill the new Grand Authority Successor and bring the Grand Authority to him.
• The Emberfire Heavenly Emperor received a notification that Chilin Jiao had entered a sealed state again, but no notification that the dragon had killed anyone.
• Chilin Jiao told Qin Feng that his active time was nearly over and that continuing required 1.256 billion years of lifespan.
• The black-robed old man from the Time Temple used his Time Minor Authority to slow the clock’s hands a thousandfold, giving Chilin Jiao more time to speak at far lower lifespan cost.
• Qin Feng agreed to reimburse the old man, and Chilin Jiao continued explaining the Emberfire Heavenly Emperor’s circumstances.
• Yu Yan Jinhuo realized the Time Temple did get involved in the Blueprint World and lost her idealized view of the Emberfire Heavenly Emperor.

Qin Feng learned how the Time Temple elder’s clock tracked accelerated time, then killed the Emberfire Temple group and manipulated Yu Yan Jinhuo into helping expose her father, the Emberfire Heavenly Emperor.

• Qin Feng killed three Temple Masters who tried to leave, discovered that the Abyss and Curse grand authorities had been claimed, and learned they had reported on Blue Star and Deep Blue to the Highest Heaven.
• Qin Feng learned from the Heavenly Melody Temple Master’s memories about a young girl who was the heir to the last words grand authority, and decided to observe her rather than risk the retribution tied to killing her.
