"Can we fish it up?"

Taishang glanced at the little squirrel with the empty hook, seemingly nonchalantly.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak~~"

The little squirrel jumped up in anger and stomped on Taishang's foot.

This made everyone burst into laughter.

The small boat drifted along the Space-Time River for a while longer, and the Ferryman said, "We've reached the place."

"Fellow Daoist Chenxing is lost within this 'water region,' let's see who among you can rescue him."

"It must be me!" The little squirrel patted its chest, full of confidence.

Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~

Two people and a squirrel sat by the side of the boat fishing.

"Xuanqing, there was a slip-up in the recent encirclement of the Fierce Beast Clan; when can we find another opportunity to press them completely?"

"That's hard to say."

Xuanqing replied, "Although the True Demon God is dead, his Dao Fruit remains, and so does the Dao Artifact."

"Perhaps Shen Ni found a successor for a Demon God, who inherited everything of the True Demon God."

"It's just unknown whether the successor will ultimately independently condense the [True Dao Fruit] or become the vessel for the True Demon God's resurrection."

"Anyway, the power he's left behind has already taken effect; my arrangements in the Fierce Beast Clan are indeed being eliminated."

"Moreover, after they overcome this difficulty, they will firmly establish themselves in the Primordial, and the impact of the great calamity will become greater and greater. It won't be long before I can hardly control their movements."

Upon hearing this, Taishang nodded, "So does it mean they can still be controlled?"

"...Shen Ni is gradually escaping this range of control." Xuanqing reluctantly admitted.

Upon hearing this, Taishang's smile broadened, "Seems like he's not far from his demise."

His tone was quite determined.

Given Taishang's understanding of Xuanqing, the latter would never let a rogue 'criminal gang' wander freely in the Primordial.

The moment the Fierce Beast Clan completely defies Xuanqing's expectations marks the time to end this great calamity.

"What about Hong Jun? Will he interfere again?" Xiao Song joined the conversation queue on the side.

It said with some resentment, "That old Daoist loves to meddle."

"Back then, I just wanted to bide my time in the Primordial, but that guy actually blocked me personally."

"If I didn't run fast, I would've surely fallen into his hands!"

"It's unlikely that Hong Jun will interfere again."

Xuanqing analyzed, "Though he isn't on our side, he certainly won't stand with the Fierce Beast Camp."

"This time, I guess Hong Jun has some plans involving either the Fierce Beast Clan or the Chaos Demon Gods; otherwise, he wouldn't risk offending us to intervene."

"I agree!"

Taishang nodded. If it wasn't for some plan, Hong Jun would have no reason to provoke them at this moment.

Of course, actually, this time if Xuanqing hadn't directly found out where Hong Jun was hiding.

The Taiwei Constellation would surely have suffered this loss.

"Why does Hong Jun pay attention to the Fierce Beast Clan?" As a former Five Elements Demon God, Xiao Song still admired those fellow Daoists of the Fierce Beast Clan.

Even after facing Pangu's Big Axe, they could still muster the courage to overthrow the Primordial.

Xiao Song asked himself if he couldn't achieve that.

So he directly accepted reality and chose to lie down early on.

Unless necessary, he wasn't willing to enter the Primordial True Realm.

"This I do not know."

Xuanqing shook his head, "Until the end, who knows what Hong Jun plans to do?"

"Perhaps he's got his eyes on the legacy of those Chaos Demon Gods and doesn't want these things to ultimately fall into our hands."

"So what's our Taiwei Constellation's plan next?"

Taishang asked, "Should we continue the conquest of the Ten Thousand Worlds, or should we regroup, expand our net widely, and capture the beasts?"

Xuanqing decisively said, "Of course, we will carry the victory to the end!"

Plop~~

"Ah! I've got it, I've got it!"

At this moment, Xiao Song was ecstatic, "I finally caught a fish."

"Quick, quick, quick, get the oar, get the oar!"

Seeing this, Xuanqing and Taishang put away their fishing rods.

The Ferryman waited until Xiao Song dragged a golden Space-Time Fish to the side of the boat, then he grabbed the oar and slammed down hard.

"Boom!!"

A massive splash erupted, stunning the fish, turning its belly upward.

The Ferryman scooped it up with a Qiankun Net.

Then he tossed this golden Space-Time fish into the prepared pot.

"Wait a minute, is the Soul Reviving Soup used like this?" Taishang's eyelid twitched, urgently shouting.

Those who knew assumed you were rescuing someone; those who didn't might think you're having fish soup!

"This is exactly how it's used!"

The Ferryman said, "Daoist, do not question my expertise!"

"Second Brother, don't get excited." Xuanqing chuckled and guided Taishang to sit to the side.

"We'll wait for...ahem, wait for Fellow Daoist Chenxing to drink a bowl of soup, and then we'll see if it's a rescue."

Only then did Taishang sit down.

Then, he saw the Ferryman start scaling the golden fish.

Taishang was stunned, "Why are you scaling it?"

The Ferryman explained, "Returning from the Space-Time River requires rebirth, this is the normal rescue procedure."

Saying this, the Ferryman plucked the fish's reverse scale.

Taishang twitched at the corner of his mouth.

He silently glanced at Xuanqing next to him.

Only to see him resting with his eyes closed.

Taishang looked at the goldfish in the pot again.

He simply closed his eyes as well.

After the Ferryman busily worked for a while, he suddenly chanted, "How can golden scales be a thing in a pot? They transform into dragons upon encountering the wind and clouds!"

"Fellow Daoist Chenxing, if not return now, then when!"

Crack~~

Above the Space-Time River, clouds converged.

A brilliant golden light flew out from the pot.

"Thank you, Daoist!" As soon as the Ancestor Dragon appeared, he transformed into a handsome and carefree Daoist.

The Ancestor Dragon turned around and cupped his hands towards Xuanqing and Taishang, "Thank you, Heavenly Emperor, thank you, Daoist Jing Yao!"
