Gu Chen brought Mu Fan, Zhong Ming, Luo Ling'er, and Jin Fugui to Li Baimei's head, where they cooked, dug into his scalp, planted seeds, and buried corpses.

After Mu Fan counted down and called “Click,” Li Baimei’s body shook, and Mu Fan prepared to snap his fingers and finish the attack.

As he promised to open the Emperor Road, a familiar presence approached from the horizon, making Gu De realize the road was appearing far earlier than expected.
