The biting cold wind, icicles standing tall, on the snowy plains, the Kua Fu clan huddled together to warm themselves by the fire.

"I told you not to chase the sun anymore!"

The Clan Leader squatted closest to the fire, shivering with cold: "Now look what's happened, you've offended it, and we no longer have the sun to warm us."

"Clan Leader, is this our fault?"

The young and robust members of the Kua Fu clan said: "We have so much energy every day, what else should we do if not chase the sun!"

"You... oh..."

The Clan Leader felt deeply frustrated, as chasing the sun had become a tradition for the Kua Fu clan, and it was too difficult to change.

"It would be great if there was a second sun."

The Clan Leader looked up at the sky.

At that moment, a ball of fire appeared in the sky.

The Clan Leader's eyes widened in horror as he watched the fire rapidly unfold and burn fiercely in the sky.

"Could it be that there really is a second sun?"

The Clan Leader was extremely shocked.

At the same time, in the Immortal City, beings of various clans were shaken by the sight in the sky.

"Such a huge fireball!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

In the Immortal Palace, the guards ran into the Imperial Palace in panic, only to find Emperor Shouma and the Moon Immortal standing together, staring at the sky in surprise.

"Your Majesty, that thing in the sky..."

Before the guards could speak, the Emperor raised his hand: "The object in the sky is not a problem, go back down!"

His vision was clearer than others; the object in the sky was not a fireball, but a gigantic Wanling diagram.

The brilliance of the Wanling diagram was too intense, so much so that others could not make out the patterns within.

"Immortal."

Once the guards had retreated, the Emperor inquired of the Moon Immortal: "How did the Wanling diagram appear in the sky?"

"I don't know."

The Moon Immortal looked excitedly at the sky, the Wanling diagram shimmering with flowing light, reflecting an enormous, dazzling tree, majestic and awe-inspiring.

He was the person at the Star Palace who studied the Heavenly Dao most deeply and was, therefore, more sensitive to the power brought by the Wanling diagram.

"My immortal power is increasing."

The Moon Immortal glowed all over, saying: "This Wanling diagram is not from our world; it seems to connect us with other worlds."

"Other worlds?"

The Emperor was shocked; until now, the Wanling Heavenly Dao had always existed independently in the Star Palace - how could it be connected to other worlds?

"Is this good or bad, in the end?"

The Emperor looked up at the sky; the clouds boiled and thundered, the Wanling diagram still spreading and intensifying at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The Moon Immortal pulled out a bamboo slip from his chest and threw it forward.

With a 'boom,' an altar miraculously appeared before him.

"Heavenly Dao magic has become easier to perform."

The Moon Immortal said, stepping onto the altar and sitting down cross-legged.

The Emperor watched him, unsure of what he was doing.

After a while, another guard came running.

"Your Majesty, the sun has changed its path again."

The guard said.

"Changed again?"

The Emperor frowned; recently, the sun had become much bolder: "Where did it go this time?"

"It's returned to its original path."

The guard said somewhat cheerfully.

"Returned?"

The Emperor was puzzled; they hadn't even had the chance to reprimand the sun, so why would it go back on its own?

Only one person could make it do so; could it be...

An idea arose in the Emperor's mind.

"Heavenly Emperor."

Another voice spoke out the name for him.

The Emperor looked over, to see the Moon Immortal had gotten up from the altar.

"There is the aura of the Heavenly Emperor within this Wanling diagram."

The Moon Immortal said.

The Emperor immediately became joyful: "He's returned?"

"No."

The Moon Immortal smiled: "But he might be able to hear our conversation right now."

The Emperor quickly expressed gratitude towards the sky.

In the Three Realms, Sun Wukong smiled.

"They are still the same as ever."

He thought to himself, his eyes reflecting the scene from the Star Palace.

The distant world was projected to his eyes through the Heavenly Dao; now, Sun Wukong could glance at countless worlds with a single thought.

But such a vast scope of vision also came with a great burden.

Sun Wukong retracted his gaze, looking towards the shining Wanling Tree.

On the Wanling Tree, the chessboard shone ever brighter, but the totems within it were even more radiant, their power increasing day by day, surpassing the chessboard's own luminosity.

The benefits of the chessboard are relative; the totems have increased the influence of the Heavenly Dao, but hasn't the Heavenly Dao also enhanced the power of the totems?

On the Wanling Tree, countless small totems had appeared amongst the branches and leaves, seemingly set to swallow the myriad of shimmering leaves.

"Heavenly Emperor, the totems are devouring the Heavenly Dao faster!"

Earth Virtues Star Monarch said with a deeply worried expression: "If we do not find a solution, the texts within the Heavenly Dao will be replaced by these totems."

Their plan was going smoothly, but the totems were gradually taking dominance within the Heavenly Dao.

If they truly replace the texts within the Heavenly Dao, then even if Sun Wukong and the others successfully create the Hongmeng microcosm, it would be a Pyrrhic victory.

Totems hardly listen even to the decrees of the Jade Emperor, let alone the commands of mortals. Once they usurp the place, humans will no longer be able to learn the Heavenly Dao through Immortal Text.

One of the greatest significances of the Heavenly Dao is that regardless of one's innate talent, mortals can also learn.

If it is changed by the totems, then the Heavenly Dao loses its meaning.

The law of the survival of the fittest is a fundamental truth of humanity, however...

"I will suppress these totems."

Sun Wukong said; he would not allow his texts to be overtaken by totems.
