Meteors intermittently fell from the clouds, crashing into the ground.
"When will this end."
Master Puti thought as he watched this scene.
Turning around, under the moonlight at the peak of the mountain, a monkey stood behind him.
"Wukong, you have already surpassed your teacher."
The Grandmaster said.
He had originally planned to hide and ponder for a while, but was found by the avatar of Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong bowed to the Grandmaster: "Disciple asks Master to come out of seclusion."
"You are the Heavenly Emperor, there's no need to bow to me."
After saying this, the Grandmaster asked: "How do you plan to treat those myriad Immortals?"
"Each will carry out their duties, without interference for now."
Sun Wukong replied.
"Very good."
The Grandmaster stroked his beard, his disciple was still the same.
As long as the Immortal Positions of the multitude in the Heavenly Palace are not revoked, even if there is some chaos in the Three Realms, it won't cause major problems.
"What do you need me to do?"
The Grandmaster asked next.
"Guard the Heavenly Palace."
Sun Wukong replied: "The Heavenly Palace is in dire need of hands, with Master guarding it, order can be rebuilt."
In a flash of thought, the Grandmaster realized that Sun Wukong seizing the Jade Seal was just the beginning.
The position of Heavenly Emperor, is not so easily secured.
He would soon show his fangs to the other regions.
The Underworld, the ocean depths, and the mortal realm—
A burst of bloody storms across the Three Realms was inevitable.
"Naughty fellow."
The Grandmaster thought, then showed a smile.
"Very well, I agree."
He promised to help in the Heavenly Palace.
But it would be in two days.
Sun Wukong, having received the answer, transformed and flew towards the Heavenly Palace.
Amid the shattered Heavenly Gate, dark clouds continuously surged.
After the dispersal of the immortals, the Heavenly Palace was weaker than it ever had been.
The devils of the Four Great Continents got encouraged and excitedly flew up.
However, almost without exception, they were all blasted down by Sun Wukong.
In the Virtue Palace, the remaining Immortals knelt on the ground, not daring even to breathe.
Sun Wukong sat on the throne with closed eyes, resting, surrounded by divine light, dense with Immortal Texts, his aura immensely powerful.
The immortals anxiously waited for him to speak.
From outside, explosions occasionally sounded, coming from the falling devils.
Sun Wukong sat there, making no move, but whenever dark clouds surged up, the Immortal Texts around him exploded, Immortal Energy surged out, sweeping all invaders away.
That supremely powerful force made everyone's souls tremble, kneeling on the ground, daring not to move.
"The posture of this Heavenly Emperor is getting more and more handsome."
Immortal Zhenyuan couldn't help but mutter.
Even with closed eyes, Sun Wukong exhibited his majesty, making him very envious.
After some initial panic, some minor immortals also couldn't help but sneak peeks at Sun Wukong.
The Heavenly Palace was now extremely weak, but this new Heavenly Emperor was like a War God.
His sitting there symbolized the safety of the Heavenly Palace.
"Amazing."
"He looks more like the Heavenly Emperor than the Jade Emperor."
Some minor immortals began to waver.
This was the Heavenly Emperor they envisioned.
A white light flew in from the South Heavenly Gate.
The Heavenly Soldiers and Generals about to stop it were halted by Immortal Zhenyuan.
Ao Luan flew up.
"Brother."
She looked at Sun Wukong with joy in her heart.
Sun Wukong opened his eyes: "Ao Luan, I am entrusting these Immortals to your command, take a headcount."
"Yes."
Ao Luan nodded, and began to issue orders proficiently.
While commanding the minor immortals from the Virtue Palace to count the present Immortals, she also stole glances at Sun Wukong.
"Brother seems to have become even more handsome."
She thought with a girlish mind as she counted heads, quickly arriving at a result.
There were not many Immortals left in the Heavenly Palace, most of the renowned ones had departed.
The majority of those who remained were the fairies from Guanghan Palace, who seemed to have stayed following the advice of Fairy Chang'e, along with the Deity of the Moon.
In addition, there were some female Immortals led by the Queen Mother, along with Zhang and Lu's second class, the Mountain God, the land deities, and other minor Immortals, etc...
The Heavenly Soldiers and Generals were also taken down to the lower realms by the Heavenly Kings, leaving less than ten thousand.
Ao Luan counted the number of Immortals and then reported to Sun Wukong.
"Besides these three, everyone else may head down."
Sun Wukong kept three people back, allowing the other Immortals to leave.
After the Immortals had left, the vast hall had only Zhang and Lu's second class trembling and kneeling on the ground.
Sun Wukong looked at them, then turned to Ao Luan.
"This is for you."
He returned the Dragon Ball he had been keeping to her.
Ao Luan carefully stored the Dragon Ball, was about to give thanks, but then saw Sun Wukong's gaze shift behind the hall.
"Don't stand so far away, come here."
Sun Wukong called out.
Ao Luan looked up and saw a girl with her hair singed.
Sweeping Star, who had accidentally been caught in the battle.
Though involved in the conflict, she was not welcomed by the other Immortals and had nowhere to go, so naturally, she stayed.
Sweeping Star avoided Zhang and Lu's second class and knelt down before Sun Wukong.
"You have talent, you will help Ao Luan govern the Heavenly Palace from now on."
Sun Wukong declared.
Sweeping Star was startled, looking at Sun Wukong in surprise.
"Dear brother."
Immortal Zhen Yuan couldn't help but speak, "She is but the Sweeping Star, what capabilities does she have to hold such a position!"
"...I say she does."
Sun Wukong raised his hand, flicking his finger and shooting a Rune into Sweeping Star's body.
Sweeping Star panicked for a moment, but in the next, feeling the rune's effect, she looked at Sun Wukong in disbelief.
"With this, your misfortune has been suppressed."
Sun Wukong said.
Sweeping Star knelt and knocked her head on the ground several times.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
She was overjoyed and somewhat shocked, immediately accepting Sun Wukong's appointment.
Having dealt with Sweeping Star, Sun Wukong then turned to look at Zhang and Lu's second class.
These two Immortals staying in the Heavenly Palace were an unexpected joy for him.
"Come out with me."
Sun Wukong stood up and spoke.
Rather than tempting with words, he knew a better way to gain their loyalty.
Sun Wukong led Zhang and Lu's second class out of the Virtue Palace, along the heavenly river, to the twenty-second layer of heaven.
"This place is good."
Sun Wukong looked ahead at the white cloud-filled open area, pointing with his hand.
An astonishing sight followed, countless Immortal Texts appeared out of thin air, circling above the open area.
Following that, the riverbanks' mud and Immortal Stone rose from the ground, converging and transforming in front of Zhang and Lu's second class, swiftly constructing a palace.
Zhang and Lu's second class were astounded.
They flew next to the palace to take a closer look.
The palace Sun Wukong casually constructed used unknown techniques.
"Great Saint, what kind of technique is this?"
Zhang and Lu's second class asked.
Sun Wukong did not directly answer, but said, "Work for me, and naturally you can learn it."
Zhang and Lu's second class exchanged glances.
"Great Saint, we only know construction work."
They said, "If it were other jobs..."
"I'm not asking you to do other jobs."
Sun Wukong replied.
"Alright."
The two immediately agreed to work for Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong successfully gained the loyalty of three Immortals.
Afterward, the remaining minor Immortals were also gradually won over by Sun Wukong.
