• Ling Yi changed the system’s notification mode and saw Myriad Arts reach 0.015%, then considered how the Body of Myriad Laws might evolve.

During his seclusion, Ling Yi developed a Clone Technique by combining inorganic cells’ Luxuriant Branches and Leaves with demonization cells. After testing his first clone and recording its data, he created ten more, just as Old Song walked in and found twelve Ling Yis staring at one another.

• Ling Yi used plant forms and demonization cells to construct a humanoid clone, then adjusted its appearance until it nearly matched his own.
