"Ha ha ha ha!"

As the sun sets in the west, after a chaotic battle, Gong Gong laughs heartily, standing over a group of defeated and stripped individuals.

How could such a ragtag bunch possibly be his opponents?

After his laughter, Gong Gong glanced at Sun Wukong.

"You're quite sensible."

Gong Gong said, no longer holding hostility towards Sun Wukong.

"Zhu Rong, give them the Divine Fire of the sun!"

Gong Gong said.

Nuwa looked at Zhu Rong with hopeful eyes.

Zhu Rong scratched his face: "The Divine Fire of the sun is not with me, but I'll take you to see it first."

He took the three of them away from the Fire God Palace, flew over mountains, and came to an Immortal Mountain by the East Sea just as dusk fell.

This Immortal Mountain was not large, its shape resembling a platform in the sky. Once Nuwa landed, she looked around and immediately understood.

"This is Tiantai Mountain."

She said.

"You know of this place?"

Sun Wukong asked.

"This is where the successive Nuwas have mended the heavens."

Nuwa replied, "It was originally on the back of a Giant turtle, but my brother killed the turtle, and Tiantai Mountain was destroyed. I don't know why, but here stands another Tiantai Mountain."

"This is a new Tiantai Mountain."

Zhu Rong added: "It is decreed by Heavenly Destiny that Tiantai Mountain will always emerge."

This Tiantai Mountain was very special; apart from him, no one knew that the Divine Fire of the sun was hidden underneath Tiantai Mountain.

"But I don't see any fire."

Gong Gong looked around for a moment; this seemed just like an ordinary Mountain.

"It's deep underground, we need to make a hole first, then I can bring it out."

Zhu Rong said, stamping his feet on the ground a few times.

Nuwa frowned, "How are we going to split the Mountain?"

"I have a way."

Sun Wukong took out his Jingu Bang, "My Jingu Bang can split it open!"

"What Jingu Bang, silver hoop stick, none of them compares to my head stick!"

Gong Gong stopped him and said, "I can use my head to smash the Mountain open."

His years of Cultivation have made his forehead incredibly tough, he wasn't afraid of such a task seeing as he could even butt Buzhou Mountain.

"Let me do it!"

Gong Gong laughed and then leaned down, diving headfirst towards the ground.

"Boom"

The ground shook, but not a single scratch appeared.

"It seems it doesn't work."

Nuwa said.

"How can it not work!"

Gong Gong touching his head, "It's hard to exert force like this, Xiao Di, help prop up my legs!"

"Alright!"

Zhu Rong walked over and expertly grabbed Gong Gong's feet.

With a "boom", Gong Gong's head went down and half his body smashed into the earth.

A crack appeared on the ground.

"Not strong enough, can you do it harder?"

Gong Gong's voice came from within the crevice.

"Okay."

Zhu Rong pulled Gong Gong out and put more strength into smashing him into the ground.

This time, Gong Gong's entire body smashed into the ground.

"Still not enough."

Gong Gong said from inside: "This mountain is too hard, harder, even harder!"

"Okay!"

Zhu Rong pulled out Gong Gong, soared into the air, took a deep breath, and plummeted like a meteor.

With a "boom", the entire Immortal Mountain trembled slightly.

"Not enough, harder!"

Gong Gong, whose feet were no longer visible from the surface, called out.

Zhu Rong came down to pull out Gong Gong and leaped even higher.

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"

With each echo, Tiantai Mountain shook amidst the roars, leaving both Sun Wukong and Nuwa utterly dumbfounded.

The birds and beasts of Tiantai Mountain scurried frantically to escape the mountain.

But soon, Zhu Rong ran out of strength.

"No good, this mountain is just too hard!"

He still needed to reserve energy to summon the Divine Fire. Glancing around, he handed Gong Gong over to Sun Wukong.

"Am I suited for this?"

Wukong asked.

"Suitable."

Zhu Rong nodded.

Curious, Sun Wukong took Gong Gong and flew into the sky, transforming into a giant and began to smash at the mountain.

Though he wasn't fond of bullying others, playing this way was quite enjoyable.

Sun Wukong was having a blast, and the continuous tremors of Tiantai Mountain spread to the surrounding seas.

Fish and shrimp in the sea were so startled they surfaced, and upon looking up at the sky, almost spat out their souls in fright.

"My goodness, what's happening up there!"

They saw Sun Wukong standing in the night sky, spinning someone around like a windmill, smashing them down onto the mountain incessantly.

The terrifying scene made these sea creatures shiver uncontrollably.

"Boom" "Boom"

The Immortal Mountain gradually cracked amid the endless roaring sounds.

"Harder, hit harder!"

Gong Gong felt a rush of excitement amidst the impacts.

Nuwa turned away, unable to bear the sight, and looked towards Buzhou Mountain.

In the darkness, the monumental Buzhou Mountain continued to collapse, with giant boulders falling ceaselessly. Even from tens of thousands of miles away, the danger there could still be felt.

But as the pillar of heaven and earth, it was just too large, yet able to hold on for a few more days.

On the contrary, the gap above was unceasingly leaking floods, causing casualties every day.

"The sky must be repaired quickly."

Nuwa thought to herself, clutching her chest.

She despised Heavenly Destiny and had no desire to witness the calamity of this world.

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"

Under Sun Wukong's pounding, a deep and bottomless pit appeared in the middle of Tiantai Mountain.

Roaring noises began to emanate from the depths of the pit, and gradually some black smoke started to emerge from the hole.

Zhu Rong saw the black smoke and urgently exclaimed: "Enough, this will do!"

Sun Wukong immediately stopped his actions.

Accompanied by a series of booming noises, fiery magma spewed out amidst billowing black smoke, covering the entirety of Tiantai Mountain.

"Is this the Divine Fire?"

Nuwa looked at the magma, frowning slightly: "It's different from what I've heard."

"This is just magma."

Zhu Rong turned around, reverting to his original form—flaming hair, red beard, part beast, part man, with two Fire Dragons under his feet.

"I'll go draw out the Divine Fire!"

With that, he leaped into the magma, burrowing towards the heart of the earth.

Sun Wukong and the now invigorated Gong Gong joined Nuwa's side.

"Thank you both for your help,"

expressed Nuwa gratefully.

"It's nothing."

Gong Gong dusted off his head and said with a proud face: "I told you, my head is much tougher than any weapon!"

"Indeed,"

Sun Wukong nodded with subtle agreement.

The three of them waited on the ground for a moment, and then another series of loud rumbling sounds came from beneath the ground.

Immediately afterward, the red figure of Zhu Rong burst forth from the underground.

"Hahaha, I've drawn out the Divine Fire!"

He laughed heartily, magma gleaming behind him as it erupted, and a pillar of intense fire tore through the sky, reaching the heavens.

The fire pillar was so dazzling that it momentarily blinded the eyes of Sun Wukong and the two others.

After the blinding light faded, Sun Wukong was the first to recover his sight.

He looked ahead, where the column of fire had brought with it enormous amounts of volcanic ash and magma. The ash devoured the sky, and the magma flowed chaotically, rolling furiously and heavily pressing down onto the surrounding clouds.

The black sky was illuminated into a white night by this wave of fire.

This was the Divine Fire.

"What a grand fireworks display!"

On the ocean's surface, a giant turtle that had just arrived was stunned.
