• Chen Mu placed the God-Slaying Child Seal beneath the altar, causing a blood-colored pillar, an illusory sword-bearing figure, and golden runes to appear.
• Chen Mu announced the start of the ceremony, and clansmen crowded toward the altar before he directed them to queue, with only a hundred allowed inside at a time and Hall of Living Beings staff preparing bloodline essence for participants.

Chen Mu oversaw the Chen imperial clan’s bloodline awakening ceremony, using Bloodline Essence and Super Bloodline Essence to help clan members awaken the God-Slaying Bloodline. Chen Hongjie and Chen Zihu awakened, but Chen Duo remained inside the altar into the next day, leaving Chen Mu still presiding over the ceremony.
