Western Continent, the sky blue as washed.

A white egret landed on the tree top.

"Master, what happens after the Wanling Net is established?"

Beneath the tree, the boy asked the Taoist.

"After that, naturally all will be well."

The Taoist stroked his long beard and said, "The Heavenly Emperor returned to the Western Continent and rebuilt the Wanling Country, and in five years restored the land to its former condition."

Five years after the establishment of the Wanling Net, all reforms in the Four Great Continents had stabilized.

With the efforts of countless people from Wanling, the small world of Wanling Country was also restored.

Now, Wanling Country is the center of the Three Realms, just like Huaguo Mountain.

"The Heavenly Emperor presides over Wanling Country; no place develops faster than here."

The Taoist said, "Being born here, you are luckier than many people."

"Lucky?"

The boy, scratching his head, said, "I don't feel it."

"You will feel it later."

The Taoist smiled.

"Master, Big Brother has lost."

The boy looked ahead.

A huge hammer ferociously smashed into the young man's chest.

The young man flew out of the barrier, vomiting a lot of blood.

"Big Brother, you've lost."

The young girl holding the hammer walked out.

The young man wiped the blood from his mouth and stood up.

"Sister truly deserves to be from Demon City."

He bowed his head and said, "I concede."

The girl was from Demon City, a place inhabited by demons who could not accept humans.

Most demons from Demon City do not wish to come out, but unlike her parents, the girl was filled with curiosity about the outside world, and thus sneaked out to seek apprenticeship.

"Master."

The boy and girl returned to the Taoist after finishing training.

"We're going back."

The Taoist led his disciples back to Wanling City.

The mountain path was bordered by lush greenery, the misty air like an "Arcadian retreat."

"Five years ago, this mountain had little spiritual energy."

The boy explained to his junior siblings, "After the construction of the Wanling Net, it became suitable for cultivation."

"Now, where isn't suitable for cultivation?"

The girl said with a bright smile.

"Master."

The ever-curious boy looked towards the Taoist: "Where does the power of the Wanling Net come from?"

"From the essence of the sun and the moon."

The Taoist answered.

"Then, are the sun and the moon outside the Three Realms?"

The boy asked again.

The Taoist smiled, "No."

"Then where does their power come from?"

The boy was extremely curious: "Master, did the power of the Wanling Net originally belong to the Three Realms?"

"To know this question, you need to study the Heavenly Dao carefully."

The Taoist answered.

"Heavenly Dao?"

"Study Heavenly Dao well, and you can go to Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion."

The Taoist said, "That place is meant for the study of profound principles; you'll definitely find answers there."

"Can one meet the Heavenly Emperor there?"

The boy asked again.

"Of course."

The Taoist patted his head, "All research at the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion is of interest to the Heavenly Emperor."

"What else do they research?"

The boy got curious as well.

"They research the mysteries of the Three Realms and beyond, as well as the most advanced technology of the Heavenly Dao, such as the spells used by immortals..."

The Taoist listed one by one.

The master and disciples gradually walked away.

The white egret on the treetop, having watched this scene, spread its wings and flew high.

It quickly flew over mountains and cities, arriving in front of a floating palace.

In front of the palace, Sun Wukong was overlooking Wanling City.

Noticing the return of the white egret, he extended his hand, allowing the egret to alight on it.

"How was my 72 transformations?"

Sun Wukong asked.

"Fun."

The egret spoke, uttering a crisp voice: "I'm just not proficient yet; I can only transform into one thing a day."

"No rush, take it slowly."

Sun Wukong stroked the egret's head and bent down to set it on the ground.

"Transform back; your help is needed now."

Sun Wukong said.

The egret nodded, turned in a circle on the ground, and returned to her original form, Daji.

"I think my egret transformation was the prettiest."

Daji said.

Sun Wukong shook his head, walking towards the Virtue Palace, "When have you not been beautiful?"

"Never."

Daji giggled and followed: "Great King, how long did you take to master the 72 transformations?"

"Five years..."

Sun Wukong didn't want to hurt Daji's pride.

After all, she had practiced for two years and still wasn't as adept as he was after one night.

Sun Wukong led Daji to the Observatory.

At the Observatory, Lord Lao Zi and others were preparing around the Kunlun Mirror.

They had modified the Queen Mother's Kunlun Mirror into a communication device with the Asura Realm.

Before the war started, the immortals hoped to change the attitude of the Asura Realm through dialogue.

But despite talking for a month, no progress was made.

"Perhaps with you involved, it will be different."

Sun Wukong said to Daji.

As the most popular woman in the Three Realms, Daji clearly understood her own charm.

"What is his name?"

She inquired about the name of the person for the dialogue.

"Luo Qiantuo."

Sun Wukong replied.

This was the name of an Asura King.

With the help of an Asura woman, they connected to Luo Qiantuo's royal palace—that was the only place they could connect.

"Let's start."

Sun Wukong directed Daji to stand in front and signaled Lord Lao Zi to activate the Kunlun Mirror.

Once activated, the Observatory was illuminated.

A man with broad shoulders and a thick mouth appeared on the mirror's surface.

"Heavenly Emperor, you're wasting your effort!"

The man's laughter boomed, "We will definitely invade the Three Realms!"

"Hello."

Daji waved.

"!"

Luo Qiantuo was stunned, then instantly became furious.

"You despicable Heavenly Emperor, do you think by having a beautiful lady talk to me, I will obediently listen?"

While shouting, he took out a cloth to plug his bleeding nose.

Those around the Kunlun Mirror exchanged glances; involving Daji was indeed not a mistake.
