The Godly Rich Man for Ten Thousand Years.

Summary

In a misty white birch forest, a massive hot spring pool is home to playful little owls and an elderly Owl King, who observes Lu Xing closely. The Owl King expresses a desire to become the king of all birds, claiming the owls are the true rulers. Lu Xing informs him of the extinction of ancient spirit beasts, which amuses the Owl King, who believes it strengthens his claim. The Owl King questions Lu Xing about the current rulers, learning that humankind dominates, which he finds amusing and hypocritical. He respects Lu Xing more upon discovering his leadership role and proposes a brotherhood. The Owl King requests warmth from the sun, and Lu Xing creates flames for him. After the Owl King consumes the essence of the flames, he sends Lu Xing away, warning him of the other owls' readiness to act if he resists. Lu Xing returns to his companions, feeling manipulated, while they discuss their next steps, suggesting action against the owl clan's self-serving nature.
