I’m about to cast my net.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the Boat of Passage, the robed ferryman, elegant and radiant, gazed upon the landscapes of countless realms and timelines, finally fixing his eyes on the little pine tree by the rail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fishing for souls in the River of Time and Space is a skilled art—if you truly can’t manage it, let me take over.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Song remained unmoved, insisting: “Can’t you just be patient? Fishing requires patience.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides, I can’t see any skill in you at all—aren’t you just casting wide nets and hoping to catch fish?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You may catch fish that way, but you miss the joy of fishing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ferryman nodded thoughtfully after hearing this: “You speak wisely.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But catching fish is my joy—whereas you...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ferryman, watching Xiao Song’s empty hook once more, smiled and asked: “You’ve fished this long without catching a single fish—really enjoying yourself?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Song turned his head away: “I’m having a blast!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright then.” The ferryman couldn’t help but smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing how stubborn Xiao Song was, he decided to wait a little longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the death of the Wood Star Sovereign seemed to concern no one, and the Original Self wasn’t pressing—there was no rush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ferryman sat quietly. “Today I’ll recite a scripture. Which volume would you like to hear?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Song’s eyes remained fixed on the water. “Can’t you see I’m busy? How could I possibly spare time to listen to the Dao?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Next time, next time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ferryman asked again: “What if the scripture could aid your fishing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?” Xiao Song’s interest sparked instantly. He turned curiously to the ferryman: “There’s such a scripture?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ferryman spoke with certainty: “The scripture I’m about to transmit is one of the Three Pure Ones’ supreme teachings. Master it, and you’ll never fail to catch fish!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll learn it! I want this one!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Song immediately dropped his fishing rod, focused intently, and prepared to listen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then listen closely!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ferryman cleared his throat and began chanting the scripture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chaos gives rise to Taiji; Taiji births two aunts; two aunts birth four uncles; four uncles birth eight children. The eight children crave milk; after drinking this milk, forget that child...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the hell?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What is this nonsense?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Infinite chaos—chaotic thoughts, chaotic principles, chaotic causes—like demonic whispers piercing his ears, Xiao Song, who had been utterly focused, felt as if struck by a hammer to the head. His entire being went numb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This chaotic scripture stirred unrest in the River of Time and Space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silver-white cosmic light rippled, and fish began surfacing one after another on the once-calm waters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the chaotic scripture, they grew disoriented, agitated, and frantically leapt from the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plop~~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A time-and-space fish leapt onto the boat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Song’s eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then two, three, four...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fish after fish leapt onto the Boat of Passage; Xiao Song’s expression shifted from confusion to shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This actually works?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why wouldn’t it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing a blue fish leap into the boat, the ferryman smiled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gently swept his sleeve, sending all other fish back into the River of Time and Space, leaving only the blue one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How’s that? Didn’t I say this scripture aids fishing?” The ferryman looked at Xiao Song, still stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You—you’re dynamite fishing! This isn’t fishing at all!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Song snapped back to himself but still argued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ferryman tossed the blue fish into a pot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, the fish dissolved into light, emerging as a radiant primordial deity with a handsome face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, friend, for saving me!” Fuxi smiled gently, bowing with utmost courtesy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you sure you didn’t just awaken your true spirit out of sheer desperation from that scripture?” Xiao Song chimed in dryly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That chaotic scripture was terrifying—even the dormant fish in the River of Time and Space had leapt out to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Song had good reason to suspect Fuxi had been so terrified by the scripture that his true spirit awakened spontaneously and jumped aboard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And thank you for your persistence.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuxi looked down at Xiao Song and said: “If your hook carries bait next time, your chances of catching fish will surely improve.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? What do you mean?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Song blinked in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s getting late. I must return to my meeting. Friends, may we meet again under favorable circumstances.” Fuxi nodded to the ferryman and turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What did he just mean?” Xiao Song asked the ferryman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s obvious.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ferryman’s gaze flickered. “This Star Sovereign hasn’t fully sunk into the River of Time and Space—he still retains some awareness.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He didn’t need us to act. He could have rescued himself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Song sighed dejectedly: “No wonder I couldn’t catch him—he doesn’t even bite the hook!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing the ferryman’s explanation, Xiao Song finally understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuxi’s remark clearly meant he was annoyed that Xiao Song tried fishing without even putting bait on the hook!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So you see—whether fishing for fish or souls in the River of Time and Space—it’s truly an art.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ferryman chuckled: “See? Just one scripture from the Three Pure Ones, and every fish leaps right up. Hahaha.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re right!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Song finally grasped it. He looked up at the ferryman, earnestly saying: “You must teach me this dynamite-fishing technique—I refuse to fail again!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grand Wei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuxi’s return was warmly welcomed by the gods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Star Sovereign, we’ve missed you so much!” Zu Long, the Morning Star Sovereign, saw Fuxi and tears welled in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Had it not been for your sacrifice to offer yourself to Heaven and unravel the chaos’s heavenly secrets, we could never have secured victory so swiftly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Di Jun, the Sun Sovereign, praised Fuxi endlessly: “Your contribution to ending this monstrous calamity is truly monumental!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Star Sovereign was absent, he could be ignored—as if he never existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now that he was here, he was Grand Wei’s greatest hero.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nvwa, don’t forget to record this achievement of the Star Sovereign in the Annals of Time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tai Shang, the Jingyao Sovereign, chuckled: “We of Grand Wei must never bury our heroes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Xuanqing nodded: “No need for grandiose praise—just record the facts. Let future gods see what a standard deity of Grand Wei truly is.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Emperor’s command—how could I dare refuse?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Nvwa agreed, her gaze remained fixed on Fuxi, her expression that of a doting aunt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuxi felt deeply uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cough, cough~~” Fuxi picked up the meeting minutes before him, glanced over them, and said: “Let’s discuss how to deal with Hong Jun and the Demon Gods.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I believe to confront Hong Jun, we must first separate him from the Immortal Dao’s immortals.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s your view?” Xiang Xuanqing asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuxi said: “From my observations of our interactions with the Immortal Dao and Hong Jun, though Hong Jun is the patriarch of the Immortal Dao, the masters of its various lineages seem to have a delicate relationship.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They appear subordinate, yet each operates independently. If we can find an opportunity to kill Hong Jun, the Immortal Dao may collapse.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zu Long, the Morning Star Sovereign, stroked his chin: “That’s similar to our Grand Wei.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When we die, the Emperor revives us; when the Emperor dies, we become the next Emperor!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Morning Star, what are you saying?” A flame suddenly flared beside Zu Long’s seat—Yuan Huang, the Mars Sovereign, arrived at Grand Wei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Greetings, friends!” Yuan Huang was energetic, radiant, brimming with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, something wonderful had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reading the minutes, Yuan Huang said: “Grand Wei follows a succession system—the Emperor rotates. This isn’t meant to fracture our organization, but to strengthen unity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Think about it: the Emperor holds the greatest authority—he can rescue fallen allies. But if the Emperor dies, who rescues him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s why the next Emperor must ascend and save the former one. It’s logical, unlike the Immortal Dao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, Yuan Huang glanced at Zu Long: “Could some minister harbor disloyal intentions—planning to betray the former Emperor after ascending?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No way, no way?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I didn’t! I didn’t! You’re slandering me!” Zu Long, the Morning Star Sovereign, quickly distanced himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He declared solemnly: “You all know—I, Morning Star, have only minor quirks. I’ve never committed great crimes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’d never bury a reigning Emperor or nail shut his coffin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chenxing, don’t get worked up, don’t get worked up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Xuanqing smiled: “We all believe you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your Majesty is wise!” Zu Long immediately endorsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But one thing Fuxi has said is correct.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Xuanqing said: “We must separate killing Hong Jun from destroying the Immortal Dao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We of Taiwei Yuan kill Hong Jun because he competes with us for the Honghuang Heavenly Dao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Our struggle with him is over the role of Heavenly Dao’s proxy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But there is one point to note!” At this moment, Luo Hou, who had remained silent for a long time, spoke:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Our goal as Taiwei Yuan is to establish a heavenly court that governs the Honghuang Zhen Jie and the boundless Zhu Tian.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If Hong Jun blocks our path to unification by dragging the Immortal Dao along with him, then the Immortal Dao must also face its end!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Hou’s words revealed his sharp edge, leaving no concealment of the killing intent deep within his heart!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the gods clarified their stances, they began discussing how to deal with Hong Jun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hong Jun controls the authority of the Heavenly Dao, partly due to the cooperation of the Order Demon God. Can we find some way to retrieve the Order Demon God and strip him of his control over the Heavenly Dao?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Taiyin Shangzun】 Wangshu proposed an idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is probably quite difficult.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Taiwei Shangxiang】 Nv Wa said: “Although the emergence of the Honghuang Heavenly Dao involved the Tiandi’s planning, the Order Demon God was also a crucial factor—he ultimately became part of the Heavenly Dao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not to mention how to retrieve the Order Demon God again, even if he returns, the Honghuang Heavenly Dao itself will likely be the first to ‘suffer damage.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is reasonable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Taiyang Shangzun】 Di Jun said: “To kill Hong Jun, we need favorable timing, terrain, and unity—otherwise, this old Taoist can always flee if he can’t defeat us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then our conflict would become a prolonged war.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So we must find an opportunity to deliver a decisive blow, leaving Hong Jun no chance to recover.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you think of the power of Gui Xu?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zu Long spoke: “In the Tiandi’s plan, Gui Xu will become the resting place for all gods.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It should possess powers such as matter decomposition, memory stripping, causal severance, true spirit dissipation, true name confusion, existence denial, and void assimilation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If after building Gui Xu we imprison Hong Jun within it, I believe he will have no chance of revival!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, this idea is excellent!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Yinyao Shangzun】 Luo Hou smiled: “Perfect—we just killed many Demon Gods. We can further transform Gui Xu!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Destroying the relics of the Demon Gods would be perfect.” Xiang Xuanqing flipped his palm, and a grinding disc the size of a brick appeared, radiating an aura of annihilating all things. Then, the Killing Sacred Sword, the Wraith Banner, the True Word Book, and other divine relics emerged one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similarly, the divine bodies of the Chaos Demon Gods were also brought along, stretched across the void like floating continents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We have a lot of materials this time. If we want to transform Gui Xu, Jing Yao and I can’t handle it alone—we’ll need everyone’s help.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Taiwei gods were all enthusiastic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the moment to divide the spoils—who would mind being tired?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Xuanqing also assigned tasks to those absent: Qitian, Zhen Yuanzi, Ming He, and others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leave of absence was allowed, but benefits wouldn’t be reduced—and the work still had to be done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, we should also mobilize the masses.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After arranging the Gui Xu transformation task, Xiang Xuanqing added: “We can launch some related games on the Star Network—call them ‘Immortal vs Demon War’ or ‘Heavenly Court Frontline,’ simulating future wars to stimulate the subjective initiative of the Star Gods.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Speaking of which, I just remembered something.” Wangshu turned her gaze toward the main seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Xuanqing asked: “What is it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Respected Tiandi, shouldn’t your masterpiece ‘Gods vs Demon War’ be updated?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wangshu’s eyes flickered with anticipation: “‘Gods vs Demon War’ hasn’t had a new version in a long time!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, yes, Your Majesty, you absolutely must update ‘Gods vs Demon War’!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gods remembered too, and began urging him to update.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This spiritual realm game simulating the war between the divine and the demons not only greatly attracted beings below Da Luo, but was equally vital for these Supreme Ones still exploring the path ahead!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Xuanqing had hidden countless ingenious ideas within it—the layers of Zheng Dao Fa he unveiled had repeatedly drawn them into obsession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gods desperately wanted to know what lay beyond Da Luo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t want to stop updating either—didn’t I just save the world?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Xuanqing smiled: “Then you all get busy—I’ll go update the game?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go, go quickly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Taiwei gods urged: “Your work is left to us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immortal Dao, Baiyu Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the Taiwei gods discussed how to deal with Hong Jun, the immortals held a Baiyu Jing assembly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immortals from all Zhu Tian Wan Jie once again arrived at Yushan, trading, joking, and chatting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Immortal BBQ, two skewers of grilled meat!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A black-robed immortal strolled leisurely into Zhutian City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What skewers do you need, friend? I have flying ones, swimming ones, running ones—everything you can imagine!” Kun Peng grinned at the newcomer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? Aren’t you only selling Kun meat and Peng meat? How do you have so many new items?” Xiang Xuanqing looked curiously at Kun Peng’s barbecue stall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kun Peng’s ingredients had changed dramatically—beyond the basic combos, he now offered rare birds, exotic beasts, flowers, and grasses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In response to Xiang Xuanqing’s question, Kun Peng smiled: “Even heaven and earth change—how could my humble barbecue stall remain unchanged?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come, come, try them all, Dao Friend—these are all specialties from my Xuanxian Universe!” Kun Peng enthusiastically invited Xiang Xuanqing, constantly offering him new dishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Xuanqing casually took a few skewers of grilled mushrooms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not bad—unique flavor!” Xiang Xuanqing gave an honest evaluation after tasting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kun Peng beamed: “Glad you like it! These are True Word Mushrooms—after eating them, everything you say becomes truth!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“True Word Mushrooms?” Xiang Xuanqing sensed it—there was indeed True Word power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you have Lie Word Mushrooms or Nonsense Mushrooms?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kun Peng pulled out two more skewers—one emerald green, one crimson red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides these, I’ve had 【Complaint Immortal】 cultivate some Heart-Slaying Mushrooms—after eating them, everything you say becomes heart-slaying words.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s too offensive—use this sparingly.” Xiang Xuanqing said this aloud, yet immediately asked about the price of the Heart-Slaying Mushrooms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What kind of relationship do we have? Why ask about price? I’ll give them all to you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kun Peng grinned: “Just don’t forget to guide some customers to buy my barbecue.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Xuanqing walked while eating the skewers Kun Peng had given him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, where’s the Tree-Planting Immortal?” Xiang Xuanqing arrived at the stall where Dong Hua often appeared—he saw only a lazy black bear and three enthusiastic immortals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s the Jade Clear Tianzun!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Immortals of Fu, Lu, and Shou bowed to Xiang Xuanqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need for formalities—since you’re here, we’re all Dao Friends.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Xuanqing casually handed each of the three immortals a skewer and asked: “Has the Tree-Planting Immortal not revived yet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immortal Fu shook his head: “No. Before his death, the Di Jun suffered fierce counterattacks from many Demon Gods. Reviving him now is extremely difficult.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Xuanqing said mournfully: “I’m sorry for your loss.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sigh, since the Di Jun’s passing, we’ve grieved day and night—we truly hope he returns soon,” said Immortal Lu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Xuanqing glanced at Immortal Lu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had just given him a Lie Word Mushroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Honestly, I think the Di Jun shouldn’t have become an Immortal Emperor in the first place.
