At the White Tiger Clan’s secret-realm entrance, Liu Tianming received a privilege to test a token, but it showed no response. He accepted that he was not recognized and turned his attention to entering the secret realm.

• The four Sacred Clans discussed Liu Tianming, and Bai Po gave him a beam of power connecting him directly to the nearest token.
• Liu Tianming approached the token and placed both hands on it while the crowd watched.
• The token did not react, and Liu Tianming concluded he was not the White Tiger Clan’s Tianming Person.
• Liu Tianming set aside his disappointment and turned toward the secret-realm entrance, valuing its resources over another title.

Liu Tianming entered the secret realm despite Xuan Ze’s warning, while the Black Tortoise Race allowed him to proceed as the Human Race and Dragon Race weighed the danger. Li Baimei went to watch over him, and Lu Changzhi suspected Liu might be caught in a scheme that could affect Gu Chen’s mission.

• Xuan Ze warned Liu Tianming that the secret realm held dangers, but Liu entered anyway to temper his mental state.
• Wu Kan said the Black Tortoise Race would let Liu face the consequences, since his death could expose the force behind him and give the Black Tortoise Race an opportunity.

Lin Xie hurried to seek the White Tiger Token’s recognition, but Qin Xiong reached it first and drew attention with his White Tiger Sacred Body. As Qin Xiong prolonged the moment before trying the token, Human Race experts began to suspect his power was connected to a White Tiger’s death.

• Lin Xie learned that the youth at the token was surnamed Qin and feared he was Qin Baihu, whom the White Tiger Clan might recognize.
• Qin Xiong kept channeling his presence to attract attention instead of immediately touching the token.
• Human Race experts watched Qin Xiong, and one suggested his physique might be connected to a White Tiger from the clan that had died after losing its essence blood.

The White Tiger Clan considered whether Qin Xiong might be the Tianming Person, but lacked the White Tiger Token to verify it. Lu Changzhi noticed Qin Li’s unusual reaction, and she realized Qin Xiong may have taken the place she occupied in her previous life, meaning she might not exist in this life.

• The Longwang Clan teased Bai Po about Qin Xiong’s White Tiger physique, and Bai Po said the White Tiger Clan could not tell whether he was their Tianming Person without the missing White Tiger Token.
• Bai Po decided not to publicly reveal Qin Xiong, since doing so could bring him trouble and could also make him a useful cover for the real Tianming Person.
• Mu Fan and Lu Changzhi discussed Qin Xiong’s White Tiger physique, while Lu Changzhi noticed Qin Li reacting unusually to his name.
• Qin Li recalled learning that Qin Xiong was named after the name her father had wanted for a son, and concluded he might occupy the place she had held in her previous life.
• Qin Li wondered whether she was an outsider in this life and whether her family had never needed to worry about her disappearance.

Qin Xiong failed to gain the White Tiger Token’s recognition and entered the secret realm, while Lin Xie suspected the displayed token was fake. After Lin Xie openly challenged the White Tiger Clan, White Tiger pulled his consciousness into a separate space and demanded proof.

• Bai Po relayed Lin Xie's words, and White Tiger pulled Lin Xie's consciousness into a separate space to ask why he believed the token was fake.

Lin Xie convinced Bai Po that he had the White Tiger Token by reproducing its true appearance and claiming it had fused with him. Bai Po accepted that Lin Xie was the long-awaited token bearer and asked whether he knew about Atavism, leaving Lin Xie to explain that his body contained the essence of the four Sacred Beast Races.

• Lin Xie pointed out the flaws in the displayed White Tiger Token and formed a corrected version from light.
• Bai Po asked whether Lin Xie possessed the White Tiger Token, and Lin Xie guessed that the White Tiger Clan had lost it.
• Lin Xie claimed the token had appeared out of nowhere and fused with him, then promised to help the White Tiger Clan in exchange for improving his strength.
• Lin Xie revealed knowledge of the White Tiger Clan's history, convincing Bai Po that he was the person their ancestor's token had awaited.
• Bai Po asked Lin Xie about Atavism, and Lin Xie said his body contained the essence of the four great Sacred Beast Races.

• Long Yang laughed that he had found his chance and lunged at Liu Tianming to see what their talents could produce.

Long Yang tried to approach Liu Tianming before Long Xiao restrained him, but Li Baimei intervened to protect the Human Race’s Holy Son. As Liu Tianming claimed the encounter was voluntary and the Vermilion Bird expert appealed to the cultivators’ interests, the crowd began to turn against Li Baimei.

• Long Xiao restrained Liu Tianming and warned him to cooperate or risk the Liu Clan’s fate as Long Yang approached.
• Li Baimei suspected the Dragon Race was trying to produce an Atavism through Liu Tianming and stepped in to stop Long Yang.
• Long Xiao confronted Li Baimei, who accused the Dragon Race of trying to ruin a Human Race genius.
• Bai Po questioned Li Baimei’s intervention, while the Longwang Clan called the matter a consensual internal affair of the Beast Race.
• Liu Tianming told Li Baimei that he and the Dragon Race were acting of their own free will.
• A Vermilion Bird Race expert argued that Li Baimei’s intervention could endanger the cultivators’ opportunity, and resentment spread through the crowd.

The Sacred Beast races agreed to let the Dragon Race test whether it could achieve Atavism through Liu Tianming, despite Li Baimei's objections. As Long Yang approached Liu Tianming, the Human Race cultivators were left in a collapsing secret realm and Liu Tianming chose not to resist, fearing for his clan.

• Longwang Clan pressed the Black Tortoise Race to allow the Dragon Race's test, and Xuan Ze and Wu Kan agreed after warning that Liu Tianming must not be harmed.
• Bai Po used the White Tiger Clan's power to suppress Li Baimei, while the secret realm began collapsing and its Human Race cultivators panicked.
• Li Baimei withdrew his power and prepared to see whether the Dragon Race could achieve Atavism, deciding Liu Tianming could not be allowed to live if the test succeeded.
• Liu Tianming chose not to use his life-saving means because he feared the Dragon Race would endanger his Liu Clan, and he accepted what was coming.
• Long Yang moved close to Liu Tianming, bringing the Dragon Race's test to the point of beginning.

Long Yang used his strange bodily ability on the bound Liu Tianming, causing Liu Tianming’s belly to swell as the onlookers realized he might be pregnant. The chapter ended with Long Yang slicing open Liu Tianming’s belly and something shooting into the sky.

• Long Yang made Liu Tianming disappear inside his body, then shook his abdomen until Liu Tianming reappeared drenched and vomiting.
• Long Yang told Liu Tianming to relax because he would soon be a mother, and the onlookers noticed Liu Tianming’s belly swelling.
• Li Baimei recognized Long Yang as a dangerous unknown within the Dragon Race and resolved to kill him if he got the chance.
• Liu Tianming’s belly grew larger as the crowd speculated about what he was carrying, and he became visibly weak.
• Long Yang cut a shallow line across Liu Tianming’s belly, and something shot into the sky.

Liu Tianming produced a strange egg during the Dragon Race’s attempt to achieve Atavism, astonishing the gathered Beast and Human Races. Lu Changzhi revealed that it was only a solid ball of flesh, while Long Yang examined it and left the outcome uncertain.

• Liu Tianming expelled a purplish-black, mucus-covered egg, and observers from both races reacted with shock and curiosity.
• Li Baimei, Xuan Ze, and Wu Kan were unable to inspect the egg, while Bai Po said it was no ordinary egg and he could not understand it.
• Human spectators speculated about what the egg contained and how it might hatch, while Qin Li asked Lu Changzhi what was inside.
• Lu Changzhi told Qin Li, Gu Chen, Mu Fan, Xiao Ye, and Zhong Ming that the egg was a solid ball of flesh and that nothing would hatch from it.
• Lu Changzhi predicted Long Yang would take the egg away and considered the failure favorable to Gu Chen’s chances.
• Long Xiao asked Long Yang how it had gone, but Long Yang only stared at the unusually different egg.

Long Yang cut open the egg that had emerged from Liu Tianming, exposing the Dragon Race’s failed attempt to claim an Atavism result and angering Long Xiao. Despite Liu Tianming’s frail condition, Long Yang prepared to try again, until Xuan Ze intervened.

• Long Yang suspected his injury from the emperor's tomb had changed the egg and cleaved it in half, revealing a bloody interior with no yolk.
• Long Xiao told Long Yang that he had kept Liu Tianming alive and warned that cutting open the egg had damaged the Dragon Race’s standing.
• Long Xiao reflected that the Dragon Race had intended to keep the supposed Atavism result concealed and stall for time, but Long Yang had ruined that plan.

After Long Yang was forced to leave the secret realm, Liu Xun decided he could use the Dragon Race to target Lu Changzhi. Meanwhile, Lin Fan approached the White Tiger Clan, and Lu Changzhi learned that Chu Ping'an and his system planned to harvest him like a leek, leaving him to consider whether to take Chu Ping'an as a disciple.

• Wu Kan protested Long Yang's actions, and Long Yang, Long Xiao, and Liu Tianming left the secret realm.
• Bai Po ended the spectacle, and Liu Xun realized the Dragon Race could be led to Lu Changzhi.
• Lin Xie cultivated among the White Tiger Clan and thought about pursuing other female white tigers.
• Lin Fan recognized the White Tiger Clan's surroundings from his dreams and continued toward the clan.
• A figure learned his system was strong enough to confront another system and headed toward the White Tiger Clan.
• Lu Changzhi learned that Chu Ping'an wanted to cultivate him as a leek and considered the benefits of taking him as a disciple.

Lu Changzhi rejected Chu Ping'an as a disciple but had his system persuade and split Chu Ping'an's Leek System, bringing half under his own control. Meanwhile, Chu Ping'an discovered that Li Baimei had a powerful system and decided to strengthen his own system before challenging it.

• Lu Changzhi judged Chu Ping'an unsuitable as a disciple but a useful leek, and his system persuaded Chu Ping'an's system to help Chu Ping'an cultivate leeks.
• Lu Changzhi discovered that his system had split the Leek System, leaving one half with Chu Ping'an and bringing the other half to him.
• Chu Ping'an asked his system to locate Li Baimei and learned that Li Baimei's system was currently stronger.
• Chu Ping'an decided not to confront Li Baimei yet and promised to help his system grow by cultivating and harvesting leeks.
• Chu Ping'an asked whether his system could enslave Li Baimei's system after defeating it, and his system said it could.

Lu Changzhi discovered that Lin Fan’s opportunity involved the White Tiger Token and the White Tiger Clan, but Lin Fan’s first attempt to activate the token failed. As Lin Fan turned toward the opportunity secret realm, the pendant left by his birth parents suddenly trembled and warmed.

• Lu Changzhi inspected Chu Ping'an’s planted leeks and recognized Lin Xie as someone who had lived two lives.
• Lu Changzhi read Lin Fan’s opportunity and realized the White Tiger Token was meant to recognize Lin Fan through his bloodline and bring him the White Tiger Clan’s support.
• Lu Changzhi located Lin Fan approaching a White Tiger Token display and watched as he reached the stone platform.
• Lin Fan placed both hands on the token, but it remained still, so he dismissed the possibility that he was the Person of Tianming and turned toward the opportunity secret realm.
• Lin Fan felt his pendant tremble and grow warm, then took it off to examine it.

Lin Fan tried to use his pendant to make the White Tiger Token react, while its Artifact Spirit confronted Bai Po over the White Tiger Clan’s fake token and failure to honor its master’s orders. Bai Po pulled Lin Fan into a separate space and, after hearing his name, began to suspect that Lin Xie and Lin Fan were twins.

• Lin Fan held his pendant over the White Tiger Token, but nothing happened, leaving him and Chu Ping'an puzzled.
• The pendant’s Artifact Spirit appeared before Bai Po and accused the White Tiger Clan of disobeying its master and presenting a fake token.
• The Artifact Spirit showed Bai Po scenes of the Human Race cultivator who had defeated the White Tiger King and left behind the White Tiger Token, then threatened the clan before vanishing.
• Bai Po traced the Artifact Spirit’s presence to Lin Fan and pulled him into a separate space to ask about his name and pendant.
• Lin Fan said his name was Lin Fan and that his parents had left him the pendant, prompting Bai Po to wonder whether Lin Xie and Lin Fan were twins.

Lin Fan denied knowing Lin Xie and said he had only dreamed of the White Tiger Token before, while Bai Po struggled to determine which of them was connected to it. A signal from Lin Fan’s pendant summoned an overwhelming presence, leaving Bai Po and the assembled human and beast experts on guard as they questioned the White Tiger Clan’s intentions.

• Bai Po showed Lin Fan an image of Lin Xie, but Lin Fan said he did not recognize him and had only seen the White Tiger Token in dreams.
• Bai Po realized the token was not in his hands and could not easily determine which young man was connected to it.
• A mysterious signal burst from Lin Fan’s pendant and drew the attention of experts from both the human and beast factions.
• Bai Po remembered the pendant’s Artifact Spirit warning that its master’s wrath would descend and feared the master had returned.
• An immensely powerful presence descended, and Qin Li recognized it as the presence that had been inside the White Tiger Token.
• Lu Changzhi told Qin Li to shield him as the gathered experts braced themselves and the Vermilion Bird Race questioned Bai Po about the White Tiger Clan’s intentions.

Lu Changzhi’s presence appeared over White Tiger Clan territory, then vanished after a sudden exclamation, leaving both races bewildered. The Artifact Spirit’s explanation deepened Bai Po’s suspicions of Lin Xie just as Li Baimei demanded an account from the Tiger King.

• Bai Po asked Lin Xie to explain to the approaching presence that the White Tiger Clan had not broken its agreement and that the token had recognized him.
• Lin Xie realized the real owner of the White Tiger Token might have arrived and feared being exposed as a fraud.
• An illusory figure appeared in the sky, said “Fuck!”, and disappeared along with its overwhelming presence.
• Mu Fan credited Lu Changzhi’s reputation for the figure’s abrupt departure, while Qin Li reflected on her own reaction.
• The Artifact Spirit said that whoever held the token had its recognition, except the person it was following, prompting Bai Po to suspect Lin Xie had lied.
• Li Baimei demanded that Bai Po explain what had happened on White Tiger Clan territory.

Bai Po announced that the White Tiger Clan’s Tianming Person had appeared and presented Lin Xie as the chosen one, surprising the gathered races. Long Yang recognized Lin Xie as the person who had injured him and resolved to win him over for the Dragon Race.

• Bai Po claimed the strange phenomenon signaled the appearance of the White Tiger Clan’s Tianming Person, while Chu Ping'an realized Lin Fan had already obtained his fortuitous encounter.
• Bai Po opened a passage in the void and revealed Lin Xie holding a White Tiger Token, presenting him as the White Tiger Clan’s Tianming Person.
• The crowd recognized Lin Xie from the Emperor Dao incident, and Liu Xun wondered whether Lu Changzhi had arranged for him to be put forward.
• Long Yang told Long Xiao that Lin Xie had caused his injuries and argued that Lin Xie might be suitable for the Dragon Race.
• Long Xiao told Long Yang to earn Lin Xie’s trust himself, and Long Yang vowed that he would succeed.

Chu Ping'an left to seek more leeks while the White Tiger Clan presented Lin Xie as its Tianming Person. Bai Po revealed that a Human Race expert had killed the White Tiger Clan’s old Tiger King and suggested that the same expert was still alive, then questioned Longwang Clan about Lu Lulu’s supposed death.

• Chu Ping'an left after deciding to search for more leeks, while Lu Changzhi speculated that he had misunderstood the situation.
• Bai Po summoned Lin Xie to sit beside him and presented him as the White Tiger Clan’s Tianming Person.
• The Vermilion Bird Race expert, Longwang Clan, Xuan Ze, and Wu Kan questioned Bai Po about the Tianming Person and the possibility of an Atavism Sacred Beast.
• Bai Po told the other races that the White Tiger Clan’s old Tiger King had died at the hands of a Human Race expert.
• Bai Po identified the powerful presence from earlier as the same expert and said the Human Race had likely surpassed the beast races.
• Bai Po asked Longwang Clan whether the human Lu Lulu, who had once visited the Dragon Race, had truly died.

Bai Po explained to the other Sacred Beast Races why the White Tiger Clan’s Tianming Person had to be protected, while Qin Li revealed that she carried the real White Tiger Token. Bai Po recognized her as the person he had been seeking, and Qin Li asked why he had not questioned her.

• Bai Po warned Wu Kan, Longwang Clan, and the Vermilion Bird Race expert that harming the Tianming Person could provoke the powerful human expert and lead to conflict between the Beast Race and the Human Race.
• Xuan Ze and Wu Kan suspected that the White Tiger Clan’s Tianming Person might be the person who had hatched their clan’s junior who underwent Atavism, but agreed they could only wait for that person to reveal themselves.
• Qin Li approached a token platform, displayed her White Tiger Sacred Body’s Qi, and used White Tiger Clan script to declare that the token there was fake.
• A white tiger recognized his maternal uncle’s Qi on Qin Li and suspected her connection to his uncle’s death after all his essence blood had been drained.
• Bai Po noticed Qin Li’s message, brought her among the White Tiger Clan, and asked why she called the token fake.
• Qin Li produced the real White Tiger Token, and Bai Po excitedly said he had finally found her; she asked why he was not going to ask her anything.

Qin Li offered to help the White Tiger Clan attempt Atavism by providing a newborn tiger cub for her master to test. Lu Changzhi took the cub and planned to arrange Atavism for the Vermilion Bird Race as well, leaving the Dragon Race out and hoping to make it anxious.

• Qin Li questioned Bai Po about the White Tiger Clan’s token and Lin Xie’s appointment as Tianming Person, then agreed to let him keep the title.
• Bai Po explained Lin Xie’s proposed method for Atavism, and Qin Li offered a different method that required a newborn tiger cub.
• Bai Po quickly arranged for a cub to be born, and Qin Li checked with Lu Changzhi that he could take it.
• Lu Changzhi decided to help the Vermilion Bird Race achieve Atavism too, so the Dragon Race would be the only Sacred Beast Race left out.
• Lu Changzhi appeared, took the newborn cub, and vanished; Bai Po asked about his cultivation, and Qin Li gestured beyond a circle, leading Bai Po to guess he was at Heaven beyond heaven.

On Hidden Origin Peak, Lu Changzhi buried the White Tiger cub and invested seven hundred years of lifespan to see if his farming trait could trigger Atavism. Near the end of the final investment, the cub changed in a way that made Lu Changzhi believe his experiment had succeeded.

• Lu Changzhi buried the White Tiger cub and spent a hundred years of lifespan to make it grow, supplying it with spiritual resources as it absorbed the power of heaven and earth.
• He invested another five hundred years in stages, helping the White Tiger grow to nearly adult size and feeding it Power of Geng Metal, but saw no sign of Atavism.
• Jin Fugui found Lu Changzhi farming the White Tiger, and interpreted his explanation as guidance to try new things and broaden his understanding.
• Lu Changzhi invested a seventh hundred years of lifespan while he and Jin Fugui watched the quiet White Tiger.
• Near the end of the investment, the White Tiger jolted as a new power surged through its spine to its head, and Lu Changzhi concluded his experiment had produced a result.

Jin Fugui interpreted Lu Changzhi’s demonstration with the White Tiger as guidance to grow fireworks, while the White Tiger completed its atavistic transformation but still behaved like a hungry cub. Lu Changzhi took the transformed tiger to its mother among the White Tiger Clan.

• Jin Fugui decided to grow fireworks to contribute more to Hidden Origin Peak, and Lu Changzhi told him to grow larger flowers.
• The White Tiger completed its atavistic transformation, reaching strength nearly comparable to a Human Race Saint Realm cultivator.
• The transformed White Tiger struggled to stand, and Lu Changzhi realized its body had grown while its mind remained that of a cub.
• The White Tiger nuzzled Lu Changzhi because it was hungry, so he enveloped it in his power and took it back to its mother near Qin Li.

Lu Changzhi returned to the White Tiger Clan with an adult white tiger that had undergone Atavism, stunning Bai Po and prompting him to pledge the clan’s support. After Lu Changzhi asked Bai Po to nurture Qin Li and show off the tiger to the Dragon Race, the gathered Beast Race experts speculated about how the White Tiger Clan could have achieved Atavism so quickly.

• Lu Changzhi appeared with an Atavism white tiger, and Bai Po recognized its extraordinary nature.
• Lu Changzhi revealed that the tiger was the newborn he had taken away less than an hour earlier, and Bai Po thanked him on behalf of the White Tiger Clan.
• Bai Po took the tiger to its mother, who was shocked to see her son had grown to her age.
• Lu Changzhi asked Bai Po to help Qin Li grow and to show the Atavism tiger to the Dragon Race, and Bai Po agreed.
