Little Dun Fairy was both embarrassed and annoyed. She wanted to retract her foot but was met with Chen Shi's challenging gaze. Her competitive spirit arose, she snorted, and extended her foot into his arms, toes outstretched.

Chen Shi examined it, noticing that it was as fair as mutton fat jade, yet amidst the fairness was a faint flesh-pink hue. Under the sunlight, it appeared almost translucent.

He pinched it and felt it was soft and boneless.

Looking up, her ankle was not prominent, slightly fleshy, with a deeper flesh-pink hue than her foot sole, yet still very white.

Chen Shi looked further up and praised, "Your legs are so straight, like bamboo."

"Are you going to wash or not?" Little Dun Fairy said angrily, propping herself up with her hands and splashing water at him with her other foot.

Chen Shi blocked the water, placed her foot in the stream, and submerged his own legs in the water.

The stream was clear, with algae clinging to the stones at the bottom, a bluish-green, swaying gracefully with the current.

Chen Shi placed her foot in the water, and it was clearly visible. Sunlight filtered down, casting patterns on her foot, attracting a group of small fish in the stream, some of which pecked at her foot before darting into the crevices of the stones.

Actually, before Chen Shi arrived, Little Dun Fairy had already cleaned her feet thoroughly. As Chen Shi stirred the stream's water, he didn't manage to wash away any dirt or dust, simply savoring holding her foot in his hand.

"One more," Little Dun Fairy extended her other foot into the water.

Chen Shi put down one foot, picked up the other, gently stirring the stream's water over its smooth surface and toes.

"Your foot has grown little hairs!" Little Dun Fairy laughed.

Chen Shi's heart fluttered. He pulled her foot out of the stream, placed it on his lap, and said, "You've worked hard all day, let me give you a massage."

Little Dun Fairy nodded slightly.

Chen Shi massaged her foot, slowly moving up to her ankle, then to her calf.

As he was about to move further up, Little Dun Fairy withdrew that leg, switching to her other leg.

"This one too," she said with a smile.

Chen Shi had to start massaging from the foot again, and once he finished with the calf, as he was about to move further, Little Dun Fairy pulled back her leg, stood up, and smiled, "Now they're clean and refreshed, we should head back."

Chen Shi laughed heartily, walking alongside her, and said, "Why haven't you cultivated the Small Universe Method?"

"Who said I haven't cultivated it?"

Little Dun Fairy shook her head, "I've long comprehended it. Walking, farming, picking vegetables, and cooking are all forms of cultivation. The Small Universe Method is merely a way to harmonize oneself, and achieving it is not difficult."

Chen Shi hesitated a bit and said, "In that case, you need not stay overnight in my small temple anymore."

Little Dun Fairy stopped, puzzled, and looked at him, "Why not let me stay? I harmonize within the temple space. If you won't let me stay, do you intend to seize my cultivation?"

Chen Shi looked at her, probing, "Are you Little Dun or the Fairy?"

Little Dun Fairy ignored his question, speaking as if to him or to herself: "Until the cosmic calamity is resolved, I cannot leave you. If you die, I also die. Moreover, you are very important; your daoist field determines whether my clan can return to the human clan from the ghost clan. Thus, I cannot leave."

Chen Shi suddenly felt a great burden lifted from his heart, smiling, "Speaking of the Great Shang's clansmen, I recalled something. Follow me."

He took Little Dun Fairy's hand and ran towards home. Seeing Chen Tang from a distance, he shouted, "Chen Tang, tell my mother that I am going on a trip with Little Dun. We'll be back in a few days!"

Chen Tang said, "Rebellious child, just returned, and you want to leave again?"

"I am merely informing you, not seeking your permission!"

Chen Tang took out a box, intending to activate the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Demon Trapping Formation, but Chen Shi and Little Dun Fairy had already soared away, his voice trailing, "Black Pot, lend me your Taiyin Demon Extinguishing Shuttle!"

"Woof!"

Black Pot barked, running over. From the wooden cart, the Taiyin Demon Extinguishing Shuttle flew out, transforming into ninety-nine flying swords, enveloping Chen Shi and Little Dun Fairy, cutting through the air and quickly vanishing from its sight.

"Woof?" Black Pot looked puzzled.

The wooden cart rumbled, racing towards where Chen Shi had disappeared, but couldn't catch up and returned dejectedly.

Scholar Zhu and Jue Yangzi were practicing the Small Universe Method. Hearing Chen Shi's voice, they ran outside to look, but Chen Shi and Little Dun Fairy were long gone. Fortunately, their Small Universe Method was progressing well, and they did not suffer any cosmic calamities on the spot.

They had no choice but to return, and Scholar Zhu said, "Since Little Ten has left, and we haven't experienced calamities, it seems our Small Universe Method is functional. Why not help Liu Daoist protect the temple and guard against Despair Slope's invasion at the Goddess Temple?"

"Good," Jue Yangzi agreed.

The two of them went to Gao Gang, met with Liu Daoist, who, though highly skilled, was also worried about Despair Slope's invasion. Seeing them, he was naturally very pleased.

Scholar Zhu wanted to hang himself on the tree again, but hesitated, and refrained.

"With the Goddess soon to awaken, where have Little Ten and the Fairy couple rushed off to so quickly?" he wondered to himself.

The speed of the Taiyin Demon Extinguishing Shuttle was extremely fast, swiftly moving through magnificent underworld mountains and rivers like a silver-white light advancing in the air.

Inside the shuttle, everything outside was crystal clear. From outside, nothing could be seen inside, but from inside, everything outside was clearly visible.

It felt as if they were stepping on a rapidly moving void.

The shuttle soon reached the Yin Spring Sea, flying across its surface. Little Dun Fairy looked up, seeing the towering tree suspended from the sky and the hanging coffin beneath it. But before she could see clearly, vast, rugged mountains loomed in the distance.

They entered the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, passing ghost clan villages of various peculiar designs, gradually delving deeper into the Ten Thousand Great Mountains.

When the Demon Extinguishing Shuttle soared into the sky close to the Infinite Cliff and crossed over it, the Heavenly Pond Capital appeared before their eyes.

The Demon Extinguishing Shuttle flew over one Heavenly Pond after another. On the variously sized ponds, many Ghost Clan members stood at the prow, watching curiously, unsure of what it was.

The arrival of the Demon Extinguishing Shuttle disturbed many powerful Ghost Gods in the Heavenly Pond Capital, who all turned their gazes towards it.

The Demon Extinguishing Shuttle clanged loudly, releasing dozens of Flying Swords, revealing the figures of Chen Shi and Little Dun Fairy.

Those Ghost Gods, being the Clan Leaders of various tribes, bowed their heads upon seeing the two.

Chen Shi slowed down and descended to the Royal Palace.

The Demon Extinguishing Shuttle scattered, transforming into Willow Leaf-shaped Flying Swords, then closed and overlapped, becoming less than a foot long and no more than three inches wide, sharp at both ends.

Chen Shi collected the Taiyin Demon Extinguishing Shuttle and praised, "This treasure is remarkable. If it can fly beyond the heavens, perhaps it could reveal the true face of the True King."

His heart stirred slightly, contemplating summoning the Heavenly Workers of the Lu Ban Sect to modify this Immortal Artifact. Equipped with a powerful Sword Furnace, its flight speed would surely increase, making the journey beyond to see the True God no longer a difficult task.

"We could also build several large ships, equipped with Sword Furnaces, controlled by Mechanisms inside, with Alchemy Furnaces burning coal within, artificially producing Nascent Souls to continuously provide Spiritual Power, allowing the Sword Furnace to operate, and the ship to fly in the sky."

He blinked, considering transcribing the talismans and Daoist Skills of the Demon Extinguishing Shuttle to navigate large ships soaring through the air.

Red Mountain Hall has the talent to achieve this!

Beyond just Sword Furnaces, we could also manufacture blast furnaces to mass-produce steel, copper, and tin, expand schools, cultivate Talisman Masters, and use these metals to forge various talisman treasures and Magical Treasures.

Previously, he hadn't had the chance to contemplate these ideas when the sun extinguished, and a catastrophe erupted, but now with everything settled, peculiar thoughts began springing into his head.

"Why did you bring me here?" Little Dun Fairy interrupted his reverie.

Chen Shi withdrew from his chaotic thoughts and smiled, "Look."

His thoughts gently stirred, his own Daoist Field expanded, gradually encompassing the entire Heavenly Pond Capital, and continued to extend outward.

On the streets, within the tribes, Roc, Yaksha, Bull Head, Horse Face, Fire Demon, Water Demon, Shura, Heavenly Dragon, Specter Shepherd, Blade Ghost, and other Ghost Clan members, their forms and appearances were gradually changing.

Even those Ghost Gods, towering hundreds, even thousands of feet high, found their Physical Bodies and Primordial Spirits transforming.

They raised their palms in astonishment, watching as these hands shifted from ghostly to human, seeing their own and others' faces morph from ghostly visages to human features.

Their size remained as before, but their races had already changed.

Their skin revealed various strange patterns, their Witch Sacrificial Dao Patterns, different professions possessing different Witch Sacrificial Dao Patterns, passed down through generations by bloodline.

The surface skin's Witch Sacrificial Dao Pattern was the unique style of the Great Shang's people.

Little Dun Fairy stared dumbfounded at this scene, her expression somewhat dazed, in that moment, it felt as though she had returned to the era before her self-sealing, that gilded age.

She couldn't help but walk down from the Royal Palace, passing through the tribes, gazing at the unfamiliar yet familiar people, her tears blurring her vision unknowingly.

Within her body, countless streams of black light surged forth, her Witch Sacrificial Dao Patterns.

These patterns formed a black Mysterious Bird behind her, with a long trailing tail, like a black Phoenix.

Heaven's Mandate Mysterious Bird descends as Shang is born.

The ancient Emperor mandates Wu Tang to govern the four corners!

The eyes of the people were drawn to her, blurring the boundaries of time and space, as if the Great Shang had truly returned to the Human World.

Little Dun Fairy's tears fell uncontrollably. Her years of cultivation, Cutting Three Corpses, solidifying her Dao Heart, abandoning the six desires, now seemed swept away by a flood of emotions.

She wept like a confused yet joyful little girl.

Chen Shi came to her side, quietly waiting for her to gather her emotions.

After a long time, Little Dun Fairy's eyes were still red.

"Chen Shi, you're a bad person!" she said with reddened eyes.

Chen Shi laughed, "Do you like it?"

Little Dun Fairy hesitated for a moment, "I like it."

Chen Shi beamed, "I meant me."

Little Dun Fairy glanced at him, striving to regain her previous pure and serene state of mind, struggling to say, "I'm of the Great Shang Royal Family…"

Chen Shi smiled, "I am the king of these Great Shang people."

Little Dun Fairy's Dao Heart threatened to be overwhelmed again, but she steadied her Heart Spirit.

The two looked into the distance, where the Heavenly Waterfall fell from a crack in the sky, jade-like streams cascading down into the underworld.

"Where the Heavenly Waterfall originates from, no one has ever known."

Chen Shi smiled, "Do you want to take a look?"

Little Dun Fairy hesitated for a moment and, as if guided by fate, nodded her head.
