In the stateroom of the tower ship, Chen Xu appeared calm and unmoved, yet the True Qi within him was already boiling and churning.

Within his Sea of Literature, the Literary Qi was also swirling vigorously.

The roaring of the Sea of Literature echoed, with towering waves propelling the inkstone forward.

In the Ink Pool, the Literary Qi surged, standing tall like a sail.

On the desk, a dozen sheets of paper billowed and floated, as if filled with a mysterious wind from heaven and earth.

Such transformations could be described in thousands of words, yet in reality, the Shimmering Star Lake Water Monarch's utterance of "Where is Chen Xu" had just barely faded away.

The giant wave had just been shattered, and the mysterious smoke barely pierced the clouds, standing mid-heaven.

In that moment of smoke, the sky confronted the silent twilight at the horizon.

On the tower ship, the entire place was dead silent.

Only the Shimmering Star Water Monarch's words "Where is Chen Xu" seemed to echo, still resonating in people's hearts.

The world was shocked, but more so they couldn't quite snap out of it, or rather, they simply didn't understand what was happening before their eyes.

All they knew was that the god-like Shimmering Star Water Monarch arrived with towering waves, calling out for Chen Xu.

But Chen Xu made no sound, and the only response to the Shimmering Star Water Monarch was a billowing mysterious smoke shooting skyward.

Like a dragon breaking through the air, striking water and returning waves.

That mysterious smoke, along with the Shimmering Star Water Monarch's call of "Where is Chen Xu," resonated in people's hearts.

In the midst of the silence, only a small boat was visible in front of the tower ship.

On the small boat, a tall figure with a high crown and wide belt stood with hands behind his back, looking up at the sky, watching that dragon-like impressive smoke.

Swish, swish, crash—

In such a wondrously vast yet tranquil world, suddenly the sound of flowing water arose.

Clang, clang, clang, swish, swish, swish, splash...

What is it?

Where did the sound come from?

Most people on the deck couldn't react, they were dazed and confused.

They only knew they had witnessed something incredibly extraordinary, but just how extraordinary it was, with their knowledge, they couldn't comprehend in that moment.

Until someone suddenly pointed at the sky and said, "Look, what is that?"

"Wow, such a big dragon!"

"No, that's not a dragon, it's not a dragon, it seems more like a dragon skeleton..."

"What dragon skeleton, that's clearly a, a, what...?"

No one knew exactly what it was.

In the air, accompanied by the billowing mysterious smoke, rose a massive mechanical construct.

With wooden crossbeams arranged in layers, rotating vertically, forming a long conveyor belt, at first glance, indeed seemed like a coiling dragon.

Splash, as the dragon skeleton coiled around, water flowed through, but at an angle, it was flowing upstream!

In the world, water naturally flows from west to east, from high to low, but when has it ever flowed from low to high?

Flowing upstream, from the perspective of aquatic life, is "knowing the impossibility and doing it," it's great courage, the most magical transformation.

Just like a fish leaping over the dragon gate, so it is.

From the perspective of the entire world, it's a magnificent imagery capable of astonishing generations.

Who doesn't call those who succeed against the current, a dragon among men?

This perhaps, is another meaning of the fish leaping over the dragon gate.

Splash!

The dragon skeleton was still spinning rapidly, with a gigantic phantom rolling and turning between the mysterious smoke and the sky, gradually solidifying.

Until at an unknown moment, a dragon's roar was suddenly heard.

Buzz—

The dragon's roar, along with the mysterious smoke, flew across the sky, swirling between heaven and earth.

But it wasn't the Shimmering Star Water Monarch roaring like a dragon, though he bore antlers, he truly hadn't transformed into a dragon.

It turned out the dragon's roar came from that dragon-skeleton-like giant object in the sky!

Everyone looked up, stunned by what they saw and heard.

In the silence, only one burst of transcendent laughter rang out.

"Hahaha! How wonderful!" The one who laughed was the Shimmering Star Lake Water Monarch.

Before the tower ship, on the small boat.

The Shimmering Star Lake Water Monarch, standing with hands behind his back, let out an unrestrained and distant laugh.

The laughter rolled across the sky, resonating with the dragon's roar.

In the distance, on Glazed Island.

Chi Jie, glaring fiercely at the front, was so angry that he nearly jumped up.

He kept muttering "impossible," yet again heard the dragon's roar and the laughter.

And the one laughing was surprisingly the Shimmering Star Lake Water Monarch.

Chi Jie, in extreme anger, no longer cared whether his words on the water would be known by the Shimmering Star Lake Water Monarch, pointed forward, furiously said:

"Brat! Pest! Fool!

Why laugh? What are you all laughing at?

What's so funny? Fool, kill him, eat him, if you don't act, why laugh?

You deserve a lifetime without transforming into a dragon! Aaaah——"

Before the words fell, Chi Jie let out a scream.

In his utmost anger, blood suddenly shot from the corners of his furious eyes.

The blood spurted out, causing Chi Jie to immediately cover his eyes in pain.

The nearby attendants hurriedly supported him, only to be angrily pushed away by Chi Jie as if he had gone mad.

He shouted, "Get lost! All of you get away from me!

Look quickly, look at that foolish snake... what did that brat do? Have they acted?"

The two attendants could only hide to the side, watching the commotion on the tower ship from afar, stammering, hesitant to speak.

Did the Shimmering Star Lake Water Monarch and Chen Xu make a move?

Ha, what move?

Didn't you see the Shimmering Star Water Monarch's laughter hasn't stopped yet?

Above the tower ship, the laughter mingled with the dragon's roar.

Raaawr—

The impassioned dragon's roar soared to the sky.

Splash, the giant dragon skeleton rolled and moved as if soaring the nine heavens.

The mysterious smoke coiled around, until at one point, the smoke and dragon skeleton flew higher.

These two giant shadows that seemed both real and ethereal eventually flew towards the clouds, soaring in the sky, vanishing from sight in the mortal world.

"Excellent!"

The Shimmering Star Lake Water Monarch laughed loudly, "What a roar of a dragon, what a waterwheel, witnessing such a spectacle, I can see my life is not lonely, and this journey was not in vain."

After the laughter, he sighed longingly.

As he sighed, no one on the deck dared to respond.

The voices were still silent, except from a window on the second floor of the tower ship, came the leisurely, serene voice of a young man: "This thing is appearing for the first time; perhaps the world doesn't recognize it.

Yet the Water Monarch can call it by name, saying it is a waterwheel.

Truly extraordinary."
