While the Taiwei Gods were conversing, the pitch-black small boat on the Space-Time River was drifting forward.

"Did you catch it or not? I'm about to cast the net."

On the World Transcending Ship, the ferryman, dressed in white with a dashing appearance, finished admiring the scenery of myriad worlds and focused his gaze on the small pine at the boat's rail.

"Fishing for people in the Space-Time River, that's a technical skill. If you can't do it, let me handle it."

The small pine was unwavering, insisting, "Don't rush, alright? Fishing requires patience."

"Besides, I don't see any special skills in you? Isn't it just casting a wide net to catch more fish?"

"That way, sure, you'll catch some fish, but you won't enjoy the joy of fishing!"

After listening, the ferryman nodded thoughtfully, "You make a good point."

"But pulling the fish up is my joy, whereas you..."

The ferryman looked at the small pine with another empty hook and laughed, "Fishing for so long without catching a single fish, are you really happy?"

"..."

The small pine turned its head: "Well... I am happy!"

"Alright." The ferryman couldn't help but smile.

Seeing the small pine so stubborn, he had no choice but to wait a bit longer.

Anyway, it seemed no one cared about the death of the Wood Star Venerable, and the original wasn't urging. They could take their time.

The ferryman sat down quietly, "Today I'll recite a scripture. Which scroll would you like to hear?"

The small pine, its eyes fixed on the water, "Can't you see I'm busy? No time to listen to the Dao."

"Next time, next time."

The ferryman asked again, "What if it's a scripture that can assist you in fishing?"

"Hmm?" The small pine was instantly interested, curiously looking at the ferryman: "There's such a scripture?"

"Of course!"

The ferryman said confidently, "The one I'm going to impart is a secret from the Three Pure Ones. If you learn this scripture, you won't worry about not catching fish!"

"Teach me, I want to learn this!"

The small pine immediately put down the fishing rod, concentrating solely, ready to listen to the Dao.

"Then listen carefully!"

The ferryman cleared his throat and then began chanting the scripture.

"Chaos gives rise to Taiji, Taiji births two aunts, the two aunts birth four uncles, the four uncles birth eight nephews. The eight nephews need to drink milk, after drinking this milk, forget that nephew..."

What? What ???

What is he chanting?

An endless chaotic chant, chaotic logic, chaotic cause, akin to a demonic sound ringing in his ears, left the focused small pine feeling like it had been struck by a blow, and the entire mouse was not well.

This chaotic scripture caused ripples in the River of Time.

Swish, swish~~

Silver specks of Cosmic Light stirred up ripples, and one fish after another emerged from the once calm water surface.

They heard the chaotic scripture, dizzy and agitated, leaping out of the water in a panic.

Plop~~

A Space-Time Fish jumped onto the boat.

The small pine's eyes widened.

Then, two, three, four.....

One fish after another leaped onto the World Transcending Ship, and the small pine's expression shifted from confusion to shock.

"Is this even possible?"

"Why wouldn't it be?"

Seeing a cyan fish leap into the small boat, the ferryman smiled slightly.

He gently waved his sleeve, sending the other fish back into the Space-Time River, leaving only the cyan fish.

"See, I wasn't wrong, this scripture can aid in fishing!" The ferryman looked at the still-shocked small pine.

"You... you're blowing up fish! This isn't fishing!"

The small pine came back to its senses, still stubborn.

"You!"

The ferryman placed the cyan fish into a pot.

Moments later, the fish in the pot transformed into a divine radiance that flew out, transforming into a handsome Innate Divine Being.

"Thank you, Daoist, for saving me!" Fu Xi smiled warmly, graciously and courteously.

"Are you sure you didn't get redeemed out of your own desperation after being tormented by the scripture into action?" The small pine timely interjected.

The chaotic scripture was so terrifying, even the dormant fish in the Space-Time River were frightened to jump out for survival.

The small pine had every reason to suspect that Fu Xi's True Spirit awakened directly because of the fright, thus leaping onto the World Transcending Ship.

"And thank you, Daoist, for your persistence."

Fu Xi lowered his head to the small pine, saying, "If your hook had bait next time, it might increase the chances of catching a fish."

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

The small pine was taken aback.

"Alright, it's getting late. I have a meeting to attend first. We shall meet again if fate allows." Fu Xi nodded to the ferryman and turned to leave.

"What did he mean just now?" the small pine asked the ferryman.

"It's obvious."

The ferryman's eyes flickered, "This Age Star Daoist didn't entirely sink into the Space-Time River, but maintained some clarity."

"In fact, he could have completed his self-rescue without our intervention."

Upon hearing this, the small pine slumped, "No wonder I couldn't catch that kind of fish. They don't even bite the hook!"

Listening to the ferryman's explanation, the small pine finally realized.

Fu Xi's words earlier clearly hinted that he was displeased by the fact that the small pine tried to fish without even baiting the hook!

"So, whether fishing for fish or rescuing people in the Space-Time River, it's really a skillful task."

The ferryman laughed, "Look, with the secret of the Three Pure Ones, any fish has to jump aboard, hahaha."

"You're right!"

The small pine finally understood. Looking up at the ferryman, he seriously said, "You have to teach me this fish-blowing technique well. I refuse to fail next time!"

Taiwei Constellation.

Fu Xi's return was met with a warm welcome from the gods.

"Age Star Daoist, we've missed you so much!" Star Venerable Ancestor Dragon had tears welling in the corners of his eyes when he saw Fu Xi.

"If it weren't for Age Star Daoist sacrificing to the heavens, unraveling the heavenly secrets of Chaos, we couldn't have achieved victory so quickly!"
