As "Conquest of the World" became a hot topic, its ratings continued to climb. The latest plot developments, where Shen Jinyou and Gu Tianlin fought fiercely over the Carefree Flower for Xia Qingshao, and Lin Yan's character Bai Meng made an appearance, pushed the ratings through the roof.
The discussion around the series heightened, and major TV stations and video streaming apps saw immense traffic and unlimited potential profits from the series. They contacted Zeng Minghui, learning that the production was entering its final stages, and proposed airing additional episodes and implementing advanced on-demand streaming.
