Dynasty Tianfo Temple
The young novice monk Kongjue had grown up. Looking at Wuwang, who was standing in the side hall staring intently at one of the longevity tablets, he asked in confusion, "Master, why are you staring at this longevity tablet? Is it someone from the past?"
Wu Wang casually shifted his gaze and said, "She is not an old friend; the person who worships her is an old friend."
Kongjue said with a puzzled look, "Huh, that's strange. Judging from the time recorded on her longevity tablet, she died less than twenty years ago. Why don't we see any negative lines drawing away the power of the longevity tablet's offerings?"
Wu Wang nodded and said, "Yes, you didn't see wrong."
Kongjue was even more puzzled and asked, "How could this be?"
Wu Wang smiled faintly and said, "Of course it's because she has already been reincarnated."
Upon hearing this, Kongjue was shocked: "But... but how could it be so fast? There are even records of people who have passed away for hundreds of years that still have dark lines absorbing the power of offerings."
Wu Wang: "Amitabha, each person has their own karmic conditions."
Kongjue: "Then...should we take her longevity tablet away?"
Wu Wang: "No need."
Kongjue: "But...but Master, why?"
Wu Wang: "Feel it again carefully, concentrate."
Kongjue did as he was told, and a moment later he stared in shock: "Master, am I seeing things? I saw a faint positive line on her longevity tablet absorbing the power of the offerings."
"It's very faint, barely perceptible. Wait, why has it suddenly become stronger? What's going on?"
Wu Wang shook his head and said no more.
He thought to himself, "Mu Qing is a person of great merit. The longevity tablet he personally worshipped naturally carries a trace of his merit. When he is reincarnated, he will be protected by the power of his merit and will certainly receive some preferential treatment..."

Jiangnan
On his way back to the city, Grandpa Bai, as he passed the city gate, seemed to sense something and peeked out, only to see the baby lying in the roadside grass.
The baby's face was fair and tender, and he kept his eyes closed, neither crying nor fussing.
Old Master Bai quickly told Butler Bai to stop the carriage, and hurried over to pick her up. As soon as the baby was held in Old Master Bai's arms, she slowly opened her eyes, her big, watery eyes fixed on Old Master Bai. After a few breaths, she gave Old Master Bai a bright smile.
Looking at the baby girl's radiant smile, Old Master Bai's eyes reddened, and tears welled up in his eyes. With a trembling voice, he instructed the steward beside him, "Quickly, prepare some food..." Then, he carefully wrapped the baby in his own clothes and took her back to the carriage.
Royal Palace
The boy, not yet ten years old, dressed in a black outfit, earnestly wielded his long sword.
This person is the son of Bai Zhixi, the apprentice of Murong Zhi and the divine physician Gu. He was named Crown Prince at birth and named Mu Chengyu.
Mountain Stone Tribe
Orcs from various tribes across the wild continent arrived at the Mountain Stone Tribe one after another, bringing with them supplies from their respective tribes and newly-adult orcs.
The first to arrive were the three major tribes of Beast King City: the Jiaolong tribe, the White Tiger tribe, and the Fire Lion tribe.
The Jiao Clan was led by Jiao Xiang, a level three totem warrior, accompanied by Jiao Li and about ten newly-adult Jiao Clan beastmen. The White Tiger Clan was led by Bai Chen, a level three totem warrior, accompanied by newly-adult White Tiger Clan beastmen. The Fire Lion Clan was led by Shi Yan, a level three totem warrior, also accompanied by about ten newly-adult Fire Lion Clan beastmen.
Among the three chieftains of the royal city, Bai Chen and Shi Yan are evenly matched in combat strength, while Jiao Xiang is slightly stronger than the other two.
Before awakening, Jiao Li of the Jiao Clan had participated in the war against the insect beasts. His strength was comparable to that of the second-level totem warriors of other orc tribes. He had tried to awaken twice in the past two years, but failed to become a totem warrior.
Not only were the beastmen of the Jiao Clan shocked, but the beastmen of other tribes were also surprised.
Seeing that Jiao Li had come along, the beastmen felt sorry for him, but were also very curious about whether he could successfully awaken this year.
Although Jiao Li did not awaken as a totem warrior, he had a high reputation in various tribes. This was because, although he did not awaken as a totem warrior, his combat strength was no less than that of a level two totem warrior of ordinary orc bloodline, which made many orc totem warriors who had not yet reached level two admire him.
Secondly, among those who failed to awaken, Jiao Li was the strongest fighter among them, and they all admired him greatly.
After the people from the three major tribes of the royal city arrived, they did not delay and directly led the adult beastmen of their tribes to the Awakening Valley. As soon as they entered the Awakening Valley, they were stunned by the scene before them.
In Awakening Valley, the once emerald-green Dragon Awakening Grass had all blossomed into beautiful flowers. At the center was a small purple flower, like a miniature purple lotus. Around the purple flower was a ring of slender, golden petals, making it look like a small golden dragon.
The whole flower looks like a golden dragon protecting the purple lotus.
Seeing this scene, the beastmen were moved, seemingly touched by the deep affection the golden dragon showed in protecting the purple lotus.
Jiao Xiang asked Tu Ye, who was standing to the side, "Chief Tu Ye, what's going on? I've never heard of Dragon Awakening Grass blooming before."
Bai Chen chimed in, "Indeed, this is unheard of."
Lion Flame didn't say anything, but his gaze also fell on Tu Ye beside him.
Tu Ye felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by the three people and said, "It bloomed four months ago. I've never seen Dragon Awakening Grass bloom before. This is the first time I've seen it this year. I'm always amazed when I see it."
A group of newly-adult beastmen paid no attention to the conversation of the clan leaders and had already rushed to the Dragon Awakening Grass. They stared intently at the Dragon Awakening Flower, their voices rising and falling in a cacophony of exclamations.
When Jiao Xiang and the others saw that the beastmen who had come had forgotten the purpose of their visit to Awakening Valley and were only focused on watching the Dragon Awakening Flower, they were somewhat amused and exasperated. They each led their own people back and carefully emphasized the precautions for awakening to them.
Tu Ye had previously told Jiao Xiang and the others that Yao Zhi had developed an awakening potion, and that the orcs of the Mountain Stone Tribe had experienced good results after taking it.
However, when Jiao Xiang and the others heard that the Awakening Grass and the water of Awakening Lake had been diluted when the potion was being prepared, they refused to use the Awakening Potion prepared by Yao Zhi for the beastmen of their tribe to take.
