Chapter Summaries

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 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.
• After Lu Changzhi left, Longwang Clan, Wu Kan, and the other experts debated whether the White Tiger Clan could have achieved Atavism so quickly.

Bai Po revealed that the White Tiger Clan had produced a tiger who underwent Atavism, surprising the other Sacred Beast Races. He claimed the tiger had been born that day and offered the Vermilion Bird Race a chance at Atavism if it made the right choice.

• Bai Po invited the Longwang Clan, Black Tortoise Race, and Vermilion Bird Race experts through a spatial rift to see a White Tiger who had undergone Atavism.
• Xuan Ze and Wu Kan confirmed the White Tiger's Atavism was genuine, and Wu Kan revealed that the Black Tortoise Race also had a juvenile who had undergone it.
• The Longwang Clan expert attacked Bai Po, but Bai Po and the surrounding White Tigers stopped him.
• The Vermilion Bird Race expert and the Longwang Clan expert accused the White Tiger Clan of hiding its Atavism and aligning with the Human Race, while Wu Kan rejected the Longwang Clan's hostility.
• Bai Po said the Atavistic White Tiger had been born that day and told the Vermilion Bird Race it could gain a chance at Atavism by making the right choice.

Bai Po secured the Vermilion Bird Race’s agreement to accept a Tianming Person in exchange for help achieving Atavism, then provoked the Longwang Clan representative into asking for the same chance. He paused to consult the senior about the Dragon Race’s conditions.

• Bai Po told the Vermilion Bird Race that a senior could help them achieve Atavism if they accepted a Tianming Person, and the Vermilion Bird Race expert agreed.
• Bai Po remarked that the White Tiger Clan was no longer hogging the opportunity, while Xuan Ze and Wu Kan suspected the senior wanted all four great Sacred Beast Races to have Atavistic descendants.
• Bai Po initially dismissed the Longwang Clan representative as having arrived too late, prompting the representative to accuse the White Tiger Clan of dividing the Sacred Beast Races and relying on the Human Race.
• The Longwang Clan representative warned that the White Tiger Clan might come under the senior’s control, and Bai Po replied that it had long been under someone’s control.
• After the Vermilion Bird Race expert challenged the Longwang Clan representative to stand by his pride, the representative asked Bai Po for the Dragon Race’s conditions.
• Bai Po said he would ask the senior, then fell silent while the Vermilion Bird Race expert wondered whether a Tianming Person title would satisfy the Dragon Race.

Bai Po relayed Lu Changzhi’s demands to the Dragon Race, but Longwang Clan rejected them in fury. Bai Po then arranged for the Vermilion Bird Race to undergo Atavism, and Lu Changzhi sent Mu Fan to fetch one of its eggs.

• Bai Po listed demands that the Dragon Race nurture a Tianming Person, make him Ten Thousand Scale Armor, and train dragons to pull carriages.
• Longwang Clan angrily refused the demands and denounced the idea of the Dragon Race serving humans.
• Bai Po told the Vermilion Bird Race powerhouse that Lu Changzhi would help its race achieve Atavism, and asked it to bring an unhatched egg and recognize Lu Changzhi’s junior as its Tianming Person.
• Longwang Clan refused to leave while Bai Po prepared to help the Vermilion Bird Race.
• Lu Changzhi told Mu Fan to go to the Vermilion Bird Race and get an egg, then sent him through a spatial rift.

• Li Ming praised Mu Fan and declared that he would become the Vermilion Bird Race's Tianming Person under their agreement.
• Mu Fan realized his master had arranged the opportunity and accepted Li Ming's offer to take him to the Vermilion Bird Race.
• Outside the White Tiger Clan, Li Baimei and the other experts speculated that the Vermilion Bird Race had found its Tianming Person and that the four Sacred Beast Races were cooperating over Atavism.
• Li Baimei said the humans needed to prepare for the possibility that Atavism would restore the Beast Races to their former strength.
• Li Baimei proposed that his Li Clan, the Northern Nether Pavilion, the Sword Hall, and the Great Qian Ancient Kingdom unite the human factions in a force dedicated to opposing the four Beast Races.

Li Baimei argued that the Human Race needed to unite against the Beast Race, citing Beast Race Atavism and the Human Race’s hidden experts, then revealed that Lu Lulu had held back during their famous fight. 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.

• Li Baimei answered doubts about past failed alliances by arguing that the Human Race’s strength had grown and that Beast Race Atavism made delay dangerous.
• Li Baimei said the Human Race had more experts than the world knew and revealed that Lu Lulu had held back during their earlier battle.
• The gathered experts questioned how strong Lu Lulu must be and asked whether the presence at the White Tiger Clan had been his; Li Baimei said it had not.
• Li Baimei said he had last heard that Lu Lulu was going to the Dragon Race to fight the Dragon Emperor and carve “Lu” onto 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. Liu Qingcang suspected the character might be connected to Lu Changzhi and Lu Lulu, and imagined Lu Lulu might surpass his predecessor by carving flowers.

• The Human Race’s experts decided that the Liu Clan was the best faction to question the Dragon Emperor about the character on his egg.
• A Human Race expert ordered Liu Xun and Liu Qingcang to ask the Dragon Emperor, threatening them with a choice between offending the Dragon Race and the Human factions.
• Liu Xun and Liu Qingcang lamented that their hidden clan had become a pawn and struggled with how to carry out the dangerous task.
• Liu Qingcang wondered whether the character “Lu” referred to Lu Changzhi and whether Lu Lulu’s powerful elder or ancestor had carved it.
• Liu Qingcang suggested Lu Lulu might try to surpass his predecessor by carving flowers on the Dragon Emperor’s egg.

Liu Xun and Liu Qingcang sent Liu Tianming to investigate whether someone had carved “Lu” on the Dragon Emperor’s egg, and the rumor spread among the White Tiger Clan. After confirming that Lu Changzhi was surnamed Lu, Bai Po drew a crude picture of the marked egg and called for the Dragon Emperor to look.

• Liu Qingcang suggested that Liu Tianming ask an expert from the Black Tortoise Race about the rumor, and Liu Xun sent him the message.
• Liu Tianming passed the news to Wu Kan, who told Xuan Ze that someone might have carved “Lu” on the Longwang Clan’s egg.
• Wu Kan asked Bai Po whether the expert he had mentioned was surnamed Lu, and Bai Po relayed the question through Qin Li to Lu Changzhi.
• After hearing the rumor, Lu Changzhi told Qin Li to confirm his surname, and Bai Po informed Wu Kan that he had guessed correctly.
• Bai Po drew a crude picture of a dragon with “Lu” marked on its egg, then called for the Dragon Emperor to look.

The Longwang Clan attacked Bai Po after recognizing the character Lu in a picture, and Wu Kan and Xuan Ze joined the clash. As the Human Race speculated that Lu Lulu’s descendants could help draw him and the Dragon Race into a future conflict, the fight at the White Tiger Clan escalated into the air.

• The Longwang Clan spotted the character Lu in Bai Po’s picture and lunged at him, while Bai Po took his furious reaction as confirmation.
• Wu Kan and Xuan Ze joined the battle, with Wu Kan using Gui Water to restrain the Longwang Clan as he roared in anger.
• People outside the White Tiger Clan heard the dragon’s roar and speculated that the dispute concerned Lu Lulu.
• Li Baimei and the Human Race discussed finding Lu Lulu’s descendants, reasoning that their danger might draw Lu Lulu and the Dragon Race into a larger conflict.
• The fight among the Longwang Clan, Bai Po, Wu Kan, and Xuan Ze moved from the ground into the air, leaving onlookers bewildered.

Lu Changzhi watched Bai Po and the Black Tortoises battle Longwang Clan, while Bai Po claimed a Lu-surnamed expert had directed his demands. Longwang Clan challenged Bai Po to summon Lu Lulu, leaving Bai Po uncertain whether the expert was the same person he had mistaken him for.

• Lu Changzhi concluded that Longwang Clan was being overwhelmed by Bai Po and the Black Tortoises, and noted the Vermilion Bird Race had left too early to join the spectacle.
• Bai Po told Longwang Clan that a Lu-surnamed expert had helped the White Tiger Clan with Atavism and had prompted his outrageous demands.
• Longwang Clan rejected Bai Po's claim and challenged him to summon Lu Lulu, believing the expert could not be the same person who had once humiliated him.
• Bai Po and Wu Kan privately questioned whether the Atavism expert and the earlier presence were the same person, and Wu Kan warned that similar surnames were not proof.
• Longwang Clan taunted Bai Po for relying on wild guesses and demanded to know whether Lu Lulu would not come or could not be summoned.

Bai Po summoned Lu Lulu after Longwang Clan mocked his claims, and Lu Changzhi activated his bloodline to answer the call. Lu Lulu agreed to meet Longwang Clan, and a figure emerged beside Bai Po as the confrontation began.

• Longwang Clan dismissed Bai Po's warnings and claimed that no one was coming to help him.
• Bai Po asked Qin Li to tell Lu Changzhi that Longwang Clan missed Lu Lulu.
• Lu Changzhi activated his Summoning People Bloodline and contacted Lu Lulu, who agreed to meet Longwang Clan.
