Lin Yuan watched as Situ Ming left.
He used his own essence blood to reshape Situ Ming's body.
This had another purpose: to imprint his own mark onto him.
The human heart can be fickle.
Subordinates may remain loyal for a century or two, even three or five centuries.
But what about after eight hundred or a thousand years? What happens when Lin Yuan reaches the end of his lifespan and departs this world? Will Situ Ming still maintain his unwavering loyalty? Currently, Situ Ming, having transformed from the Five-Colored Lotus, could easily live for thousands, even tens of thousands of years.
Over such a long time, everything could change.
But with Lin Yuan's imprint in his blood essence, other possibilities were eradicated.
Situ Ming's Primordial Spirit and body were both crafted by Lin Yuan, leaving no room for other thoughts.
"Continue cultivating."
Lin Yuan closed his eyes, delving into enlightenment once more.
Time flowed by quietly.
After twenty years, the world had changed more in these two decades than in the previous two hundred or even two thousand years.
One genius after another emerged, and many legacies, long lost in history, reappeared.
Major shuffles occurred among the dominant forces across the Five Regions.
