Story context
The battle for the Grand Xia world has reached a terrifying stalemate. The Seamless Gate, having been thoroughly outclassed by the Seven Radiance Empyrean God, is not retreating—they’re reloading. Daofather Ink Bamboo unveils a devastating new war asset: a Daofather Puppet, a spider-like mechanical god that hits at the Daofather level and is virtually indestructible. Meanwhile, the Crimsonbright side is thrown into despair as Daofather Crimsonbright forbids engagement, knowing his troops would be butchered. But just as all seems lost, a mysterious youth named Yun Chen descends from a spatial rift, bearing aid from no less a figure than Human Sovereign Shennong. Get ready, fellow Daoists—the power scales are about to be violently recalibrated.
Why it matters
- **Watch the Power Creep**: If a Daofather Puppet is this dominant now, the only way to survive is to either acquire an even stronger weapon or to circumvent the puppet’s weakness (poor control, reliance on a single pilot). Yun Chen’s arrival teases the former, but don't rule out a clever trick. - **Character Watch—Evergreen Sword Immortal**: Pay attention to his inner thoughts. He publicly praises the Nine-Headed Lion, but privately vows revenge for the slight. This is a textbook ‘smiling villain’ setup—a character whose courtesy is a weapon and whose patience is a form of cruelty. - **The Red Birthmark Clue**: The description of the newcomer, Yun Chen, as a “handsome youth with a red birthmark between his eyebrows” is an iconic description for the character Wuxiao Celestial Immortal, a disciple of the Lord of All Demons. His arrival, supposedly on Shennong’s behalf, is either a genuine alliance shift or a devastating trap. Read closely.
