"Dust settled, it's time to head back!"

Yuan Huang waited for a long time but still did not witness the destruction of the Great Universe. She shook her head, feeling a bit disappointed.

"Ah, what a pity to miss a chance to save the world."

Yuan Huang, carrying the Ying Huo Spear, stood tall in the void, displaying a heroic posture.

"Isn't this quite good? At least Daoist Jidou has done a terrific job!"

Ancestor Dragon watched with a chuckle as Infinite Heavenly Venerate met his demise.

"Our Taiwei Constellation's expedition this time eliminated two potential threats and saved countless beings from two Great Universes, freeing them from the slavery of faith. Quite a full harvest!"

"Can this universe be integrated into the governance of our Taiwei Constellation?" Yuan Huang's eyes sparkled as she said, "The Divine Court system here is quite complete; it's perfect to establish a Heavenly Court!"

Yuan Huang never forgot about the Heavenly Court.

At this point, Xuanqing returned to the Xuantai Universe.

He laughed and said, "We should hold a big meeting back home and decide this together."

"That's true."

Yuan Huang realized belatedly.

"By the way, don't forget to write the travelogue. We promised our friend Zhen Xing." Yuan Huang reminded.

"The travelogue's already taken care of."

Xuanqing smiled slightly, holding a Heavenly Book and a pitch-black Divine Pen in his hands, the relics of Infinite Heavenly Venerate.

"Infinite had the habit of keeping a diary."

"Ah?"

Yuan Huang and Ancestor Dragon looked at each other in bewilderment.

"That means Infinite Heavenly Venerate wasn't exactly a proper god," Yuan Huang asserted with certainty.

Ancestor Dragon nodded, "Exactly, what kind of proper god keeps a diary?"

Xuanqing wholeheartedly agreed.

"Is there anything else we need to take care of here? If not, we should go back," said Yuan Huang.

Ancestor Dragon's eyes twinkled as He smiled and said, "You go ahead back, Daoist friend. I still have something to do."

"What do you have to do?" Xuanqing and Yuan Huang were curious.

"Well… I also need to write a travelogue," Ancestor Dragon said earnestly.

~~~~~~

Infinite Heavenly Venerate became one with the Dao, and the collapse of this source of belief didn't affect the beings of the universe.

How could his power of conversion compare to Dao Ran Venerable?

The Infinite Divine Light in the hearts of all beings had long been eradicated by Xuanqing.

After his death, Xuanqing used the Bright God Banner to return all the strength and blessings left by him to his followers.

Having been worshipped for so long, it's only proper for the Heavenly Venerate to say thanks to everyone after becoming one with the Dao, right?

Xuanqing then casually modified the memories of the beings regarding faith, using Taixu Country's model as a reference, turning the system into one of recreational cultural nature, not of a religious nature.

He promoted a sort of general faith where one could believe if they wanted, and if not, just forget about it.

It was better to keep things entertaining; faith systems can be toxic!

The cultivation system was also reorganized according to the characteristics of this world.

"Heavenly Venerate!" The Reincarnation Saint King came to see Xuanqing.

"You will take over the Underworld for now, as it might take some time for Daoist Jiu You to return."

So said Xuanqing, for the Nine Nether Expiation Heavenly Venerate had returned to the form of a Spiritual Treasure and was not currently considering returning to godhood.

Perhaps He wanted to rest for a while.

"Yes!"

The Reincarnation Saint King kept the Jiuyou World running as per usual.

The incense faith continued, but it followed one rule:

Gods and humans serve different roles; with respect, do not defile. When gods descend with beneficial life, people offer objects in worship. As long as disaster does not come, their needs will never be lacking. (Note 1)

In simple terms, mutual benefit.

Currently, this path was practiced by Ghost Gods, providing an additional option for beings after death.

Xuanqing planned to integrate this small Underworld into the Netherworld system.

The Reincarnation Saint King was perfect to become one of the Netherworld Yan Juns!

"Oh right, we should bring in a Yellow Spring River!"

Xuanqing thought of Wangchuan.

Thus, a new river appeared in the small Underworld.

"Finally, I can branch out into another piece of the Underworld!"

With the arrival of Wangchuan, He joyfully traveled through the Underworld, and countless tributaries spread with His journey.

"Our Netherworld is now ready to open for business!"

Wangchuan came to Xuanqing with excitement.

"Of course!"

Xuanqing laughed, "This will be the first location where our Underworld opens!"
