Fortune never comes in pairs, and misfortunes never come singly.
One piece of bad news followed another, and now even the Emperor and Empress had "gone on a western hunt"; what use could Prime Minister Zuo alone possibly be?
With the news spreading, no one held any more hope for the Imperial Court.
Great Xia was on the brink of collapse, countless ants despaired and wailed, their ugliness on full display.
But Lu Yao had not given up yet!
His family was still living in the Xiangshan Jing Yi Garden.
Within the scenic garden, he began a desperate absorption of the willing energy stored in the offering vessel, and in just one day, he took in the amount equal to millions of people!
This speed was indeed too fast, fiercer even than The Empress Dowager during the Longevity Feast.

Lu Yao suddenly felt as if he had been thrown into a blender, constantly reeling.
