The East Sea Dragon King Aoguang was covered in blood as he fell onto the sea surface.

The other dragon descendants, shrimp soldiers, and crab generals, having witnessed this scene, utterly ceased their struggles, trembling before the Heavenly Emperor's might.

As the clone that emerged from the seafloor returned to Sun Wukong, he saw a beam of light flying towards the Western Continent.

"Manjusri Bodhisattva."

Sun Wukong thought for a moment but ultimately did not stop him.

He was already entangled with numerous issues at present; there was no need to confront Lingshan prematurely.

Sun Wukong approached Aoguang.

"Great Saint, make your move."

Aoguang said.

Sun Wukong glanced at Ao Luan, who bowed to him: "Elder brother, could you spare our father's life?"

Such cooperation.

Sun Wukong thought.

"…For your sake, the death penalty can be exempted."

Sun Wukong released an Immortal Talisman, binding the Dragon King's power.

At Huaguo Mountain, four old monkeys flew over: "Great King."

"Take the Dragon King back."

Sun Wukong said, "He is not to leave Huaguo Mountain for fifty years."

Aoguang looked up in surprise.

"The Jade Emperor will return in fifty years."

Sun Wukong glanced at him: "I will have the other three Dragon Kings join you as company."

Aoguang's heart trembled. He wanted to say something but ended up saying nothing.

He could not change Sun Wukong's mind.

Sun Wukong waved his hand, signaling the old monkeys to take Aoguang away.

Ao Luan watched as her father was merely put under house arrest at Huaguo Mountain, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Elder brother."

Ao Luan walked up behind Sun Wukong.

"Do you think I did the right thing?"

Sun Wukong asked.

"Yes."

Ao Luan nodded.

Sun Wukong was walking a domineering path, determined to unify the Three Realms with thunderous might. To confine the East Sea Dragon King to Huaguo Mountain was already a considerable concession.

Ao Luan.

Sun Wukong turned around and looked at Ao Luan: "If one day I must choose between the Dragon King and myself, whom will you choose?"

"Elder brother."

Ao Luan answered immediately.

"But elder brother wouldn't let such a situation arise."

She continued, "If it really did happen, I would choose elder brother."

Whether for her or for the creatures of the Three Realms, Sun Wukong's importance far exceeded that of Aoguang.

Sun Wukong nodded slightly, then soared into the sky.

Everyone held their breath, watching him.

Sun Wukong looked down at the defeated sea troops: "From this day forward, the position of the East Sea Dragon King shall be held by Ao Luan."

It was an inevitable appointment.

The sea troops, not daring to make a sound, bowed their heads in acknowledgment.

Ao Luan was inwardly startled. Did Sun Wukong truly intend to leave her in the East Sea?

"Dismiss yourselves."

Sun Wukong gestured, and with ocean waves churning, the sea troops hastily retreated.

After there was no one else left on the sea surface, Sun Wukong picked up the East Sea Seal and handed it to Ao Luan.

"Elder brother…"

Ao Luan was unsure whether she should accept it: "I do not wish to take on the role of the Dragon King."

Sun Wukong knew her concerns and said: "The matter of cloud dispersing and rain making can be adjusted based on the foundation of Wanling Country, and you need not take responsibility for it."

Ao Luan frowned slightly. The foundation of Wanling Country was naturally the Rainfall Table and regional allocation.

She understood. Sun Wukong gave her the position of the Dragon King, but the responsibilities she would shoulder would not be the same as those of the previous Dragon King.

"What does elder brother want me to do?"

Ao Luan asked.

Sun Wukong's gaze was fixed on the seafloor: "Look at that."

Ao Luan noticed the strange light appearing at the bottom of the sea.

"What is that?"

The light was far from the sea surface, shimmering at the seabed, not very clear, yet it evoked a familiar feeling in Ao Luan.

"Wanling Chart."

Sun Wukong answered.

"Wanling Chart?"

Ao Luan took a closer look, and it indeed was the Wanling Chart.

Her eyes lit up, "Does Elder Brother intend to establish a new Wanling Country in Huaguo Mountain?"

Sun Wukong nodded.

"Not just Huaguo Mountain, but also the East Sea."

Sun Wukong said, "Compared to the Heavenly Palace, this place is in greater need of the Wanling Heavenly Dao."

He vaguely felt that the Wanling Heavenly Dao was more inclusive than the Wanling Immortal Path, and it might bring more possibilities because of the East Sea.

"How Huaguo Mountain and the East Sea will develop in the future, I will leave to your planning."

Sun Wukong said.

Ao Luan did not know whether to feel happy or sad.

But in the end, she accepted it.

"And..."

Sun Wukong continued, "If there is time, go to the Western Continent and bring back some talents."

The elites of Wanling Country were all currently in the Western Continent.

Upon hearing this, Ao Luan felt somewhat disheartened.

The future was being changed, but she knew that Sun Wukong would not be an enemy of Buddha before he deals with other issues.

And as long as Buddha does not leave the Western Continent, they won't be able to rebuild Wanling Country at the original site.

Time was so precious; they had to seize the moment to develop, and the best method was to start from Huaguo Mountain.

"I will draft a list immediately."

Ao Luan responded.

"Mm."

Sun Wukong nodded slightly and turned into a beam of light to return to the Heavenly Palace.

"Great King."

The demons flew over, only to see his fading figure.

"Why is the Great King in such a hurry?"

Daji asked curiously.

"He's going back to receive the Grandmaster."

Ao Luan looked at her and replied, her gaze carrying a hint of scrutiny.

Although Daji was not as beautiful now as she would be in two hundred years, her personality seemed to have changed little.

However, there were many others who would change after two hundred years.

Ao Luan's gaze lingered on some demons.

"Should I interfere too much?"

Ao Luan pondered for a moment, then finally gave up on that thought.

Although she knew some things, what the future held still needed to be dealt with by the demons themselves, unrelated to others.

At the Heavenly Palace, Emperor Qinghua watched Sun Wukong return from the battle.

What he never expected was that Sun Wukong planned to establish the new Wanling Country in the East Sea, and not elsewhere.

"Great Saint, why not use Kunlun Mountain?"

Emperor Qinghua made a suggestion.

Kunlun Mountain was abundant in Spiritual Energy, making it the best place for establishing Wanling Country.

"It's too far, easy to expose weaknesses."

Sun Wukong answered, "I cannot protect them all the time."

Emperor Qinghua frowned, "But Great Saint, is the Spiritual Energy sufficient in the East Sea?"

"It's enough."

Sun Wukong flew towards the Heavenly Emperor Palace.

On the way, he saw Immortal Zhenyuan fishing by the banks of the Celestial River.

"Immortal, what are you doing?"

Sun Wukong stopped and asked.

"I can't find Elder Jin Chan anywhere."

Immortal Zhenyuan turned and looked at him, "The Celestial River is deep; he's probably fallen in and can't get out."

Sun Wukong was suddenly a little amused, "I hope you can go to Huaguo Mountain and help Ao Luan."

"Help her?"

Emperor Qinghua packed up the fishing rod, "That sounds good, I'm tired of fishing."

He took down the Buddhist Scripture that had been serving as bait and threw it with force into the Celestial River.

"This is for you."

After saying this, Immortal Zhenyuan gathered his long sleeves and floated down to the Lower Realm.

Sun Wukong followed the direction in which the Buddhist Scripture had flown, and amidst the drifting mist, Emperor Donghua was passing by on a boat, also holding a fishing rod in his left hand.

"...You fish too."
