Fire and light sketched lines extended into the air.

After the declaration, the Wanling diagram still shone brilliantly in the clouds without any signs of dispersing.

The tense battlefield of Huaguo Mountain suddenly became quiet.

Not just the Immortals, even the Demons silenced...

No one expected, their Great King actually declared himself the Heavenly Emperor, the most revered being in the Three Realms.

"Heavenly... Emperor..."

In Yunxiao City, the Long Armed Ape Monkey trembled as he spoke, "Did I hear it wrong?"

Daji looked at the Golden Winged Great Peng who was dressing his wounds and casually picked up a sword and stabbed him.

"Ah ah ah ah!"

Caught off guard, the Golden Winged Great Peng jumped up in pain.

"He screamed so painfully."

Daji said, "We probably didn't hear wrong."

The Golden Winged Great Peng wanted to cry but had no tears.

The dark clouds surrounding Huaguo Mountain started to dissipate quickly, and the sky gradually cleared up.

"Why are they retreating?"

Red Stone Monkey asked.

Previously, upon hearing about Emperor Qinghua's betrayal, the Thunder Department gods went mad, insisting on subduing the group of Demons to threaten Sun Wukong.

Why did they suddenly leave?

"It must be because the Great King's declaration frightened them."

Daji said, although she didn't know what was happening in the heavens, Sun Wukong's self-proclamation as the Heavenly Emperor must mean something had happened to the Jade Emperor.

This declaration was enough to crush the fighting spirit of the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.

"What is that?"

Daji suddenly noticed an unusual scene in the distant sky.

A vast black qi rushed towards the splendid Heavenly Palace, the sky that had just cleared up became murky again.

In the Heavenly Palace, Sun Wukong slowly descended from the clouds.

He was surrounded by endless auspicious light, divine light shone as if he was born bearing the fate of the Three Realms.

The vast Heavenly Palace, now only a few small Immortals had nowhere to escape.

But some important figures remained.

"Aren't you leaving?"

Sun Wukong looked at the Queen Mother, somewhat surprised that she didn't leave.

The Queen Mother stood there, "I want to wait here for His Majesty."

Sun Wukong looked into her eyes, her appearance unchanged, yet she seemed to have aged a lot.

"Don't worry, he will return in a few decades, and his Immortal Body will recover."

Sun Wukong finished speaking and turned to face the South Heavenly Gate.

There, a great amount of black qi had surged up.

"Ha ha ha ha, from today onwards, this place belongs to the Demon Clan!"

That was a group of Demons.

"Don't just stand there, make way—we're here to join the Great Saint!"

These excited Demons rushed into the South Heavenly Gate.

Sun Wukong's self-proclamation as the Heavenly Emperor was an unprecedented event in Demon Clan's history.

The cunning Demons promptly ascended to seize the opportunity for advantage.

They scrambled into the Heavenly Palace, laughing as they looted treasures everywhere.

"Freeze."

Sun Wukong let out a cold snort, and the invisible force of the Heavenly Dao swept through the Heavenly Palace.

The Demons had no power to resist, all of them were immobilized.

They maintained their original poses, some clenching jewels from the palace ruins, some making a pouncing motion towards the Fairies, and some... crouching on the ground pretending to pull out grass.

Precious treasures littered the Heavenly Palace, and they wouldn't even spare the grass, exposing their ridiculous motives without a doubt.

"No chaos shall be caused in the Heavenly Palace."

Sun Wukong's voice echoed throughout the Heavenly Palace: "If you sincerely want to submit, go report to Huaguo Mountain."

He then released the Immobilization Spell.

The Demons looked towards his position in both shock and anger.

A Demon King couldn't help but be the first to speak up.

"As a member of the Demon Clan, occupying the Heavenly Palace, how can you not share some treasures with us!?"

Another Demon spoke up, "With the Jade Emperor fallen, without our Demon Clan's help, how would you govern the Three Realms?"

"You are right!"

Other demons started making noise.

"How foolish."

Emperor Qinghua sighed softly.

The demons of this world, uneducated and unenlightened, are far inferior to those of the smaller worlds.

Facing the accusations of his "kin," Sun Wukong's eyes slightly darkened.

"I am the Heavenly Emperor, not the Demon Emperor."

He said, "I was born for all beings, with no distinction between humans and demons in my heart."

The demons heard this and were furious, hardly believing what they had heard.

"Sun Wukong, how can you be so petty and selfish! Now that you have risen high, do you intend to betray the Demon Clan!"

"I will bear the burden of all beings in the Three Realms."

Sun Wukong raised his right hand: "Where is there betrayal!"

Endless Immortal Energy swirled around his right hand as Sun Wukong clenched his fist and, with a thunderous sound, thrust it forward.

The next moment, countless demons were expelled from the South Heavenly Gate, turning into a splendid blaze of fire like falling meteors.

Sun Wukong stood unyielding, watched them fall from the Heavenly Palace, and once more proclaimed to the Three Realms.

"I shall establish the Wanling Heavenly Dao; the Immortals, demons, and devils of the Three Realms shall not act recklessly. Those who disobey..."

He paused: "Shall be utterly annihilated."

As his voice fell, the Wanling diagram finally began to slowly extinguish.

Seeing this scene, the unsettled Immortals calmed down somewhat.

A look of shock replaced the anger in the Queen Mother's eyes.

It seemed that Sun Wukong had no intention of handing over the Heavenly Palace to the Demon Clan, no wonder the Jade Emperor had not explained anything to the Immortals before his downfall.

Perhaps he had anticipated that Sun Wukong would not destroy the Heavenly Palace.

The Jade Seal in Sun Wukong's hand suddenly emitted a faint light.

"So that's how it is; you are afraid of me."

Sun Wukong looked at the Jade Seal, finally understanding why it resisted him: "All beings can coexist; I will not destroy you."

The Jade Seal emitted a light humming sound and transformed into a beam of light that entered his body.

Sun Wukong's body immediately radiated endless golden light.

That was the true posture of the Heavenly Emperor.

The Immortals saw this; one by one, they came over and prostrated themselves.

"Great Saint."

Deity of the Moon also lay prostrate: "Please spare Guanghan Palace."

She had not left because there were too many fairies in Guanghan Palace to take with her.

"I will not interfere with you."

Sun Wukong said, his voice as ever, yet seemingly bearing an indescribable majesty.

"Qinghua, give the order that all Immortals retain their duties as before."

"Yes."

Emperor Qinghua bowed his hands in obeisance.

"Great Saint, with the Immortals leaving, we may need to find someone to help manage the Heavenly Palace, this candidate..."

Emperor Qinghua hesitated for a moment.

"I already have someone in mind."

Sun Wukong looked back at Immortal Zhen Yuan: "Immortal, where is Emperor Donghua?"

"He has returned to the Ten States and Three Islands."

Immortal Zhen Yuan replied.

Emperor Donghua originally wanted to help Sun Wukong, but Sun Wukong's actions were too extreme, so he could only sadly leave.

"I will find him."

A beam of light flew out from Sun Wukong's body, heading towards the direction of the Ten States and Three Islands.

"Junior brother."

Immortal Zhen Yuan watched the beam of light, saying, "It's no use, Donghua is stubborn in his beliefs, and you won't persuade him."

"I can."

But Sun Wukong was very certain.

In this world, there was no one easier to persuade than Emperor Donghua.

"Donghua alone is not enough."

With a thought from Sun Wukong, two more beams of light shot down from the heavens, flying towards the Western Continent and Huaguo Mountain.
