Three days after Hai Qing stayed in Shangqiu City, there was still no news from Shen Zhui. Out of helplessness, he independently disintegrated his split bodies, leading to a breakdown of their negotiations.
Two days later, Shen Zhui was running back and forth amongst the four estates, controlling a large number of True Text people to gain military merits, temporarily suppressing the promotion speed of other Dayuan Prefecture adventurers.
At the end of nine months in the second year, Qin Shan, the Great Elder of the True Text Human Clan, died in a battle over a large Domain gateway.
On the same day, Shen Zhui's military merits broke through one billion, successfully advancing to the Eighteenth Rank Great Elder.
Thus, excluding the part of the troops owned by other adventurers, one billion True Text Humans had to obey Shen Zhui's commands in name.
