Shi Hao received a divine longsword from Shiheng, but a strand of Hongmeng Qi transformed it into a cracked, immensely heavy weapon stabilized by humanity’s faith. He named it the Human Emperor Sword, renamed the Clan-Suppressing Jade Seal the Human Emperor Jade Seal, and sensed the distant presence of Hongmeng as the sword’s cracks subtly widened.

• Shi Hao visited Kelin Xiaoman and Shiheng after handling the affairs of state, and Shiheng praised Shi Hao’s soul and physical strength before giving him a divine core longsword.
• Shi Hao bound the longsword with his divine blood, triggering a universe-wide tremor as Hongmeng sent a strand of Hongmeng Qi into the weapon.
