He said Lu Lulu had gone to the Dragon Race, leaving the others wondering whether he had carved “Lu” onto the Dragon Emperor Longwang Clan’s balls.

• The experts wondered whether Lu Lulu had succeeded, though no one had heard from him since.

The Human Race’s experts chose the Liu Clan to ask the Dragon Emperor whether a character was carved on his egg, threatening the clan into accepting the task.

Lu Changzhi used his strength and Lu Lulu’s presence to force Longwang Clan toward negotiations between the Dragon Race and the Bai Po clan. Longwang Clan agreed to complete the Ten Thousand Scale Armor first, while Lu Changzhi left without declaring allegiance to either race.

• Lu Lulu told Longwang Clan he sided with whichever side his son was on, then briefly returned to unsettle him before finally leaving Lu Changzhi’s body.

• Long Xiao told Longwang Clan that humans were spreading a rumor that Lu Lulu had defeated him and carved the character 'Lu' on his balls, then asked whether they should silence those who repeated it.

Meanwhile, Mu Fan collected more than a dozen Vermilion Bird eggs and reassured his host that they had a cook.

• Long Xiao advised the Dragon Emperor not to publicly defend himself against the rumors and was tasked with deciding how to respond to them.

• Mu Fan selected more than a dozen eggs, and the Vermilion Bird Race expert worried aloud that he might eat them.

Lu Changzhi mutated a Vermilion Bird egg, which hatched into an extraordinary male chick, and returned it to the Vermilion Bird Race. After Zhu Li pledged the race’s support, Lu Changzhi gathered Mu Fan and the others on Hidden Origin Peak to share some food.

• Lu Changzhi arrived at the Vermilion Bird Race, took the most mature egg, and told Mu Fan to stay there and cultivate.
• On Hidden Origin Peak, Lu Changzhi buried the egg among fire-related resources and mutated it by investing two hundred years of lifespan.

• The System Spirit revealed that Mu Fan had received a system upgrade, an Ancient Phoenix Bloodline, and the system ability Eager to Help Others.

Mu Fan learned that his upgraded system could automate mastered tasks and let its spirit appear in the real world to bear karma for him. He received an Ancient Phoenix Bloodline and planned to save it for later, while considering how to build his own influence by working with the Vermilion Bird Race.

• Mu Fan learned that idling earned Idle Points, which could fund random cultivation or automate tasks he had already mastered.

• Mu Fan decided to wait before using the bloodline and considered partnering with the Vermilion Bird Race to deliver bombs with Vermilion Birds and build his own influence.

Mu Fan learned that Eager to Help Others secretly drained another person's lifespan, then went looking for someone to test it on. He arrived at a village being terrorized by six Spirit Sea Realm men, who turned their attention to him.

• Mu Fan learned from the System Spirit that Eager to Help Others made its target age faster over a random duration without gaining anything.
• Mu Fan decided to find a guinea pig and set out to test the ability.
• Six Spirit Sea Realm men threatened the villagers and discussed abusing them while the villagers despaired.
• Mu Fan appeared and told the six men that their fun was over and his turn had begun.
• The six men drew their weapons and threatened Mu Fan.

Mu Fan used his system’s assistance ability on six men threatening a village, and one died after the system judged that he had insufficient lifespan to pay for the accelerated time. After turning the other five into test subjects, Mu Fan asked whether his own Multiplied-Speed Cultivation could reach the same multipliers.

• Mu Fan froze the six men and used the assistance ability on the man he had chosen as his first test subject.
• The system judged the man’s balance insufficient, and he rapidly aged to death as his lifespan was consumed.
• Mu Fan learned from the System Spirit that insufficient lifespan caused the assistance process to consume the remaining years all at once.
• The five surviving men begged for their lives, and Mu Fan used the ability on all of them.
• Mu Fan noticed one man had drawn a multiplier above four thousand and asked the System Spirit whether his own Multiplied-Speed Cultivation could reach similar speeds.

Mu Fan discovered that his new ability could spend Idle Points to consume others’ lifespans, while Lu Changzhi tested its reverse effect and planned to make Mu Fan earn more points. Meanwhile, Long Yang learned that the Dragon Race had an Atavism descendant and intended to use him to provide scales for the Ten Thousand Scale Armor.

• Mu Fan learned that helping powerful people idle required more Summoning Points, then used his ability on six people, leaving four dead of old age.
• Mu Fan erased the two survivors and the four corpses, departed from the village, and the villagers decided to build a statue of him.
• Lu Changzhi tested Reverse Idling on a broken mirror and restored it, then considered how the ability might affect the Emperor Road.

Long Xiao questioned the Dragon Emperor’s motives while Lu Changzhi arranged disciples to be present among all four Sacred Beast Races. Meanwhile, Human Race leaders discussed responding to the Beast Race’s apparent resurgence and considered forming the Human Emperor Hall.

• Long Xiao suspected the Dragon Emperor’s claims about the Ten Thousand Scale Armor and the atavistic descendant, and left Long Yang’s future conduct to determine what happened next.
• Mu Fan told Lu Changzhi he was returning to the Vermilion Bird Race, and Lu Changzhi decided Xiao Ye and Shen Wenxi could represent his disciples among the Black Tortoise Clan and Dragon Race.

• Li Baimei proposed naming their faction the Human Emperor Hall, then asked whether anything connected to the Human Emperor had survived to the present.

Li Baimei’s group left after discussing the Human Emperor, prompting Bai Po to prepare the White Tiger Clan to defend the Vermilion Bird Race from the Human Race. Meanwhile, Mu Fan awoke his Ancient Phoenix bloodline and tested a mysterious cylinder with Zhu Li, ending by ordering it to explode.

• Li Baimei asked whether anything connected to the Human Emperor had been passed down, and the Human Race experts left to discuss elsewhere.
• Bai Po learned from Zhu Li’s warning that the Human Race was becoming restless and ordered the White Tiger Clan to prepare to aid the Vermilion Bird Race.
• Bai Po explained that Mu Fan and another of his master’s disciples were with the two Beast Races, so the White Tigers needed to handle any threat without waiting for the senior to intervene.
• Mu Fan awoke in the Vermilion Bird Race with an Ancient Phoenix bloodline and admired his changed appearance before Zhu Li appeared.
• Mu Fan asked Zhu Li to carry a mysterious cylinder into the air, then guided him to drop it into the ground, where it made a deep hole.
• As Zhu Li asked whether that was all, Mu Fan said, “Explode!”

Mu Fan demonstrated an explosive device to Zhu Li, who offered the Vermilion Bird Race’s help developing it and considered how it could change their fighting methods. Elsewhere, a man learned that events were unfolding early and decided he would have to adapt.

• Mu Fan detonated an explosive underground, and Zhu Li saw it blast a vast crater into the ground.
• Mu Fan explained that the device was meant to blow people up, and Zhu Li offered the Vermilion Bird Race’s full cooperation.
• Mu Fan urged the Vermilion Bird Race to develop peacefully rather than seek out a fight, while Zhu Li considered how the device could let them attack without risking close combat.
• Zhu Li reflected that the Beast Race’s prospects had improved since a powerful senior appeared, and hoped the Human Race would remain patient.
• A man in a palace heard reports about the four Sacred Beast Races’ Atavism and the Human Race’s response, examined a bag of Resurrection Coins, and resolved to keep up with events.

Li Baimei met with the Northern Nether Pavilion, the Sword Hall, and the Great Qian Ancient Kingdom to negotiate a united Human Race response to the Beast Races. He proposed inventing a history for the Human Emperor Hall and offered to bear the consequences, but ended by claiming that everyone already lived within a vast lie.

• Li Baimei told the four factions that he had no plan for dividing the benefits and asked what each wanted from the Human Emperor Pavilion.
• Pavilion Master Lin said the Northern Nether Pavilion would consider joining if the benefits were right, while the Sword Hall representative stressed the need for a workable strategy that avoided heavy losses.
• The Great Qian Ancient Kingdom representative accused the Li Clan of seeking an empty title without doing the work, prompting Li Baimei to unveil his proposal.
• Li Baimei suggested claiming that the four Sacred Beast Races had gained their power by devouring the Human Emperor, and said the Li Clan would support the fabricated history.
• Li Baimei promised to personally bear the consequences of invoking the Human Emperor's name, then admitted he did not believe a Human Emperor had existed and said everyone lived in a lie that covered the heavens.

Li Baimei proposed using fabricated Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves and a Human Emperor legend to rally the human forces against the Beast Race. The Northern Nether Pavilion elder argued that the plan should target the younger generation, whose deaths could provoke powerful humans and the Sacred Beast Races into conflict.

• Li Baimei suggested that his Li Clan and the other factions could create a great lie to help unite the human forces.
• He revealed ordinary green leaves as supposed Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves and explained how to make people believe they worked.
• The Northern Nether Pavilion elder challenged Li Baimei’s plan to recruit the strongest people, saying they would not risk themselves for empty promises.
• The elder proposed deceiving the younger generation and letting them fight the Beast Race so their deaths would spur powerful humans to retaliate.
• The elder concluded that hatred, unlike stories or benefits, could spread widely and draw both humans and beasts into the conflict.
