[Shuhu is gathering an Abundance Alliance to attack the Xianzhou Luofu.]
Shuhu stood unique even among the Emanators of Abundance.
Legends said he had been Yaoshi's disciple before the Aeon's ascension, having once engaged in philosophical debates with the deity. His immortality was terrifying—a mere fragment of his flesh could curse short-life species like Yingxing with eternal undeath. Shuhu could even animate dead planets into living entities like the "World-Devouring Rahu."
In raw power, he was the strongest Abundance Emanator—ordinary Sky-Shattering Generals of the Hunt stood no chance against him.
Reading this, Solon's eyes gleamed.
If he remembered correctly, the simulation had reached a critical juncture: The Third Shuhu Rebellion.
This very war would devastate the Luofu, leaving it weakened for centuries with a severe shortage of elite warriors. Yet for "Solon," this was also a golden opportunity—with his cunning, he was bound to profit greatly.
[As Yaoshi's mightiest Emanator, Shuhu commanded immense respect. The Wingweavers, Borisin, and the Denizens of Abundance all answered his call.]
[Soon, a massive alliance marched toward the Xianzhou Luofu—your forces among them.]
[Countless Borisin packs sent waves of warriors and Foxian slaves aboard beast-prowed warships. The sky blotted out by their armada—this was likely the Borisins' largest mobilization in centuries.]
[You sat upon the flagship's bone throne, gazing coldly at the vast army, thoughts unreadable.]
The Xianzhou natives and Abundance followers were mortal enemies. The moment they clashed, all-out war erupted.
Fleets battled fiercely across the cosmos. Outnumbered, the Luofu's forces soon faltered.
Then Shuhu made his move.
Perhaps overconfident in his strength, he stormed directly into the Luofu before fully crushing the Cloud Knights, heading straight for the Ambrosial Arbor.
General Tengxiao ordered the Quintet to guard the Arbor while he intercepted Shuhu. Thus began their cataclysmic duel.
After a brutal fight, both sides' guards lay dead. At the cost of his life, Tengxiao shattered Shuhu's Thousand-Faced Tree form, reducing him to an unstable shadow of flesh.
With victory so close, Shuhu refused to retreat. He lunged for the Arbor—only to encounter the Quintet.
Trapping Dan Feng in a "Bloodrealm," Shuhu triggered his draconic madness before wounding Jingliu and Jing Yuan.
The tide turned instantly.
Just as Baiheng prepared to detonate a Sui Emperor bomb in mutual destruction, you—having idled at the battlefield's edge—suddenly struck.
Shuhu rejoiced at the reinforcement: "Warleader! Perfect timing! Let us crush these Hunt fanatics and share this holy relic!"
Jingliu's eyes burned crimson at the sight of you: "Solon! I'll kill you today!"
Jing Yuan and others tightened their grips on weapons.
You smiled—an eerie expression amid the flames: "Seems I arrived just in time."
Approaching Shuhu, you stood barely a step apart when—
You stabbed him through the back.
Though Shuhu was now a flickering flesh-shadow, your betrayal made him bleed like a mortal.
"Traitor!" Shuhu howled, eyes streaming blood.
You sneered: "You misunderstand. We were never allies—only rivals vying for Yaoshi's favor."
Without another word, you tore Shuhu apart, extracting a core resembling a "Crimson Moon" and swallowing it whole.
Under Jingliu's hatred and others' stunned gazes, you fled the battlefield, urgently seeking safety to assimilate your prize.
Defying elder protests, you commanded an immediate Borisin retreat.
With Shuhu dead and the Borisins withdrawing, the alliance collapsed into scattered flight. The battered Cloud Knights lacked strength to pursue.
Through your perfected bloodline, you eroded Shuhu's lingering consciousness, fully absorbing his power.
Now, you surpassed even Shuhu as the strongest Abundance Emanator—perhaps only the Xianzhou's Marshal Hua could rival you.
Solon's eyes sparkled reading the simulation.
He'd assumed "he" was targeting Jingliu for some battlefield... entertainment. Never imagined the ambition was this vast—making the mightiest Emanator the prey!
The proverbial fisherman profiting from the clamshell and snipe's quarrel—it actually worked!
His own vision had been too small. The simulated "Solon" saw clearer.
As one of the universe's three great scourges, Borisins were universally despised. To thrive, one needed power that made others fear.
Jingliu? Hah! She'd only slow his ascent!
(Though if she offered herself, "he" wouldn't refuse—stress relief, after all.)
The "Third Shuhu Rebellion" had rewritten history. The Xianzhou chronicles Solon knew were now irrelevant.
[With world-shaking power, you began consolidating Borisin forces. First: abolishing their archaic tribal council system.]
[The elder chieftains resisted relinquishing authority. Nearly all opposed, even demanding your resignation as Warleader for the retreat's "failure."]
[You slaughtered every dissenter on the spot. Henceforth, the Borisins knew only one voice.]
Centralizing power, you initiated sweeping reforms—transitioning from nomadic tribalism to feudalism.
This new bureaucracy demanded capable administrators.
[You began extensively employing Foxians as craftsmen, scholars, and other intellect-driven roles.]
