The Heavenly Palace trembled; the Palace of the Polestar also shook.

"The Eastern Heavenly Gate has been destroyed, too!"

Panic-stricken shouts came from outside.

The Jade Emperor, however, calmed down and started to play chess alone.

"Your Majesty!"

The Inspector Spirit Official ran in, pale-faced, knelt on the ground, and said, "That demon monkey has already broken through four Heavenly Gates."

"Mm, I know."

The Jade Emperor replied, even without anyone telling him, he could feel it from the vibrations of the Heavenly Palace.

The barrier that stood for tens of thousands of years was collapsing, and the Heavenly Palace was returning to its original place.

Those four Heavenly Gates were the guardians of time; after their total destruction, it wouldn't be long before it would be the Palace of the Polestar's turn.

Because this is the control center.

The Heavenly Palace was like a huge Spiritual Network, and to change time, one must first destroy the nodes.

"That Sun Wukong has already seen the truth."

The Jade Emperor thought silently.

"Your Majesty," the Queen Mother had been kneeling in the Palace of the Polestar all this while, "it was I who brought such disaster upon the Heavenly Palace."

"No."

The Jade Emperor shook his head, "Without your say, I would have made this decision sooner or later."

Strangely enough, before this day arrived, he was always worried and afraid.

But when it actually came, he found himself calm.

The damage to the four Heavenly Gates did not shock him much, but Heavenly King Li's fall made him somewhat sentimental.

No matter how many flaws Heavenly King Li had, his loyalty was beyond question.

"Your Majesty..."

The Queen Mother spoke, "I am willing to stop Sun Wukong."

"No need to say more."

The Jade Emperor stood up and walked towards the outside, "Come with me for a walk."

Tears fell from the Queen Mother's eyes.

Sun Wukong emerged from the Eastern Heavenly Gate, feeling the tremors of the ground.

The barrier of the Heavenly Palace was affected by him.

But what came next was troubling.

With Thirty-Three Layered Heaven and countless splendid palaces, where exactly is the node of time? If he destroyed the wrong place, he feared the whole Heavenly Palace might fall.

"Better to ask someone."

Sun Wukong thought this and, as it happened, in front of him stood a naturally kind soul.

"Great Saint."

Gold Star Taibai bowed deeply in front of the Eastern Heavenly Gate, "Can you please not resort to violence anymore for my sake."

"Okay!"

Sun Wukong, with Jingu Bang on his shoulder, said, "Tell me where to destroy to change time, and I won't dismantle the rest."

Gold Star Taibai thought, isn't this still continuing the fight?

"Great Saint, things have come to this, you can negotiate with Your Majesty."

Gold Star Taibai suggested with a bow.

"No." Sun Wukong shook his head. "It's better if I do it myself!"

He didn't want to entangle with the indecisive Jade Emperor anymore.

Gold Star Taibai frowned, searching for something persuasive to say.

"Great Saint."

A streak of light descended from the sky, revealing an old woman.

"Listen to my advice, stop the fighting."

The Deity of the Moon said hunched over.

Sun Wukong frowned slightly, "What if I don't listen?"

"Then you must first get past me."

The Deity of the Moon said.

Sun Wukong found it odd that the Deity of the Moon would actively block him.

He didn't want to lay a hand on an old woman.

But Sun Wukong was equally aware that once he picked up the Jingu Bang, he could not stop.

If he compromises and calls a truce now, even if the Jade Emperor agrees to change the timeline, troubles in the future would still be endless.

Sun Wukong made up his mind: since the battle had begun, it must continue until his goals were achieved.

"So be it."

Sun Wukong sighed, planting Jingu Bang into the ground: "Star Monarch, forgive my insolence."

The surrounding immortals spectating from a distance were shocked. If you're putting down your weapon, what insolence is there?

Then, another figure rose into the air, Immortal Zhen Yuan stood beside the Deity of the Moon.

He did not know what Sun Wukong was planning to do, but he could not sit idly by and watch an old woman battle alone.

"Great Saint."

Immortal Zhen Yuan spoke: "I will lend a hand to the Deity of the Moon."

Sun Wukong nodded: "That would be splendid."

He took out the Palm Leaf Fan, swung it in the wind, and without reservation, struck out with a full-powered fan.

Instantly, the heavens and earth changed color, a golden storm swept forth.

Immortal Zhen Yuan had heard of Sun Wukong owning such a magical treasure but had never taken it seriously. Now, caught in the midst of it, he realized the overwhelming pressure the Palm Leaf Fan could exert. Both he and the Deity of the Moon's expressions changed dramatically as they erected a Protective Divine Light to resist the storm.

However, if Sun Wukong wields the Palm Leaf Fan, even a hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers would be blown away, let alone two individuals—how could they withstand it?

Barely resisting for a few seconds, they were eventually overpowered by the ferocious wind and were blown away, their figures disappearing from sight.

Sun Wukong did not use Jingu Bang to kill, he merely blew them away.

Just as he was about to put away the Palm Leaf Fan, he heard Jingu Bang emit a buzzing sound, almost like a taunt. Suddenly, the Palm Leaf Fan flew out of his hand towards Jingu Bang.

Sun Wukong was momentarily stunned.

"Quit your foolishness!"

He put away the Palm Leaf Fan and picked up Jingu Bang.

Just as Sun Wukong was about to leave, another person blocked his path.

He frowned slightly: "Emperor, are you also trying to stop me?"

Emperor Donghua stood in front of him, locking eyes for a moment.

"So that's how it is…"

Sun Wukong clasped his hands in thanks: "I understand now."

He glanced towards the direction where the Deity of the Moon was blown away, realizing why she would stop him—Guanghan Palace was also a node.

Well then, he'd have the fairies evacuate Guanghan Palace before smashing it.

Sun Wukong shook his head and flew towards another palace.

"What's happening?"

The immortals were in an uproar.

"Where is the Great Saint going?"

"Emperor Donghua has informed him of the node's location."

Water Virtues Star Monarch sighed, looking in the direction Sun Wukong had left: "I wonder which unfortunate immortal official's residence he has found."

"Water Virtues Star Monarch, that seems to be where your mansion is located."

Someone said.

"What?"

Water Virtues Star Monarch was shocked, he looked carefully, and indeed, it was the location of his home!

He immediately mounted his Auspicious Cloud and rushed after Sun Wukong.

"Great Saint, wait—let me move my possessions out first!"

Water Virtues Star Monarch unleashed an unprecedented speed.

Seeing this scene, other immortal officials began to feel anxious: "I wonder if my home is also within the nodes."

With this thought, they excused themselves one after another, hurrying back home to relocate their belongings.

Outside the damaged Eastern Heavenly Gate, only three Heavenly Immortals remained.

"Emperor!"

Gold Star Taibai looked at Emperor Donghua: "Why did you tell the Great Saint?"

"If I didn't tell my little brother, did you really want him to wreak havoc until the Heavenly Palace falls?"

Immortal Zhen Yuan said: "With my brother's temperament, having committed to a course of action, he will definitely see it through until his purpose is achieved."

"But what exactly does he want to do?"

Gold Star Taibai looked concerned: "I fear it's not just a matter of the timeline."

Immortal Zhen Yuan nodded: "Most certainly."

He did not know what Sun Wukong planned to do, but he trusted Sun Wukong to exercise restraint—because so far, Sun Wukong did not seem like he was out for revenge against the Heavenly Palace.

Of course—there might be a little bit of a vengeful spirit.
