• Su Mo reviewed a simulated future in which Tang San and Tang Chen disrupted Spirit Hall’s plans, then used another Memory Addition Opportunity to simulate a way to prevent it.
• In the new future, Su Mo absorbed the Blood River’s power through the Tree of Life, strengthened his cultivation, and raised Death God’s Sigh to a Million Year Spirit Ability, allowing him to defeat Tang Chen despite the Asura God’s protection.
• After confirming that the plan would work without alerting the Asura God or the Slaughter King, Su Mo left his room at night and summoned subdued souls and frozen Tunneling Pangolin Soul Beasts from his Hundred Treasure Pouch.
• Su Mo planned to use the pangolins to dig a tunnel outside Slaughter City, plant the Tree of Life there, and extend its roots to the Blood River so it could absorb the blood despite the city’s restrictions.
