There's no way. The rune network of the entire Seven Heavens can't be managed by just Ling Yuwei and Realm Spirit alone, with many new innovations that absolutely need her.

Moreover, the present Chu Hui has responsibilities extending far beyond just these matters.

Too many things require her attention, such as the banks of the entire Seven Heavens world, where Heavenly Court holds significant shares. This wasn't forcefully seized by Heavenly Court, but a gesture of gratitude from the elite families of the Seven Heavens world for the efforts and contributions made by Heavenly Court for ages immeasurable.

It's a massive wealth that requires dedicated management. Chu Hui, being capable, was assigned to manage it, which is why she complains.

However, she isn't without help. She has also brought over the former exalted one, Chu Hui.

Plus, some elites nurtured by Chu Clan Academy now actively work throughout various places in Heavenly Court.

The folks in Piaomiao Palace have even more things to handle.

Even Demon Lord and Monkey, who wanted to retire after the world had settled into peace, have to manage a large pile of affairs now.

Under the solitary pen.

By the lakeside.

Inside a small wooden cabin.

Sitting are a few people.

Hu Lie, Xu Fufu, Chu Mo's sworn brothers Zi Dao, Liu Yunfeng, along with Monkey, Demon Lord, are sitting with Chu Mo, drinking and chatting.

A few side dishes are on the table, not top-tier delicacies, just ordinary dishes. Yet, Qi Xiaoyu brings up a dish that leaves these world-renowned Heavenly Court big shots dumbfounded.

It's a plate of small fish, each at most finger-sized, stewed with sauce. Very fragrant. Steaming, looking quite appetizing.

Hu Lie's mouth twitched as he looked at Chu Mo, "Brother, I say, what is this?"

"Fish!" Chu Mo glanced at Hu Lie as if saying you've got no knowledge, "Don't you recognize fish? You're from the Tiger Clan, Tigers belong to the cat family, and cats love eating fish... how could you not recognize fish?"

Barraged by Chu Mo, Hu Lie's mouth twitched even more, and even his forehead was full of black lines. He looked at Chu Mo, speechless, "Of course I know these are fish. The question is, where did these fish come from?"

"I caught them!" Chu Mo said looking at Hu Lie, "Where do you think they came from?"

The crowd at the table all wore an expression of speechlessness. The majestic Emperor of Heaven, the sole true god in these realms, hiding away in a place truly resembling the mundane world, catching ordinary fish? Who would believe it even if said?

Then, Demon Lord, smiling at the side, said, "Alright, don't be ungrateful. Heaven Emperor fishing for you, Empress cooking for you, what more do you want?"

Monkey grinned, saying, "Indeed such treatment is rare indeed around the world, I'm already quite satisfied!" Saying that, he reached out with chopsticks, loudly calling out, "Good cooking, sister-in-law!"

Qi Xiaoyu's gentle laughter came from outside, "Since Big Rooster isn't here this time, I've stewed a free-range chicken for you all as well!"

"Hahaha!" The room erupted in laughter.

If Big Rooster were here, even if Qi Xiaoyu stewed chicken, he would go mad.

But over these years, Big Rooster has been quite carefree, traversing the world, as he said, "Someday, Your Lordship Chicken will write an encyclopedia! It will encompass everything and have everything!"

Everyone around Chu Mo is living well.

The threat of war is gone, the seven rulers realize creating a perfect god realm was just a mirage. None of the beings who tried to craft the god realm met a good end. They have completely abandoned those thoughts now.

The world finally returned to peace. It became more beautiful.

Chu Mo fulfilled his promise from years ago, taking Qi Xiaoyu and Shui Yiyi, his two wives, and retreating to this mundane place.

Every day consists of chopping wood, feeding chickens, fishing, drinking tea, raising flowers, planting grass.

This life closely resembles the ordinary people among the mundane world.

Yet the trio enjoys themselves here, for ten thousand ages, seemingly never bored. Such days seem good even after a hundred thousand years, a million years.

Whenever these friends visit, they invariably ask the same question.

Which is: Will the disaster of ages ever reemerge?

To which Chu Mo's answer remains consistent each time.

"What is meant to come will come. This isn't within our control. For years have grown wise. Even mentioning the first-generation divine beings won't make them appear before us."

After spending a few days together, this group of friends finally departs. For they're indeed too busy!

Unlike Chu Mo, who leisurely let go of everything.

After everyone left, Qi Xiaoyu and Yiyi casually tidied up a bit, made some tea, and sat beside Chu Mo.

The three sat quietly together; this kind of life is what they had sought for countless years, enduring immeasurable tribulations, before they finally achieved it. So, such a life is never enough for them.

Yet...

The same problem has always been a concern for Qi Xiaoyu and Yiyi, but neither of them has ever asked about it.

Chu Mo, however, took the initiative to bring up another matter with them.

"Do you remember the beings that rushed through the Gate of Reincarnation years ago?" Chu Mo asked.

The two women nodded.

How could they forget? At the beginning, like everyone else, they only knew a little, without understanding the specific situation. It was only after Chu Mo explained it upon returning that they understood. That endless flood actually represented immeasurable beings!

Through the Six Paths of Reincarnation, all those beings had already reincarnated many times.

It's undeniable that those beings who once amazed ten thousand ages were indeed extraordinary. After reincarnation, even though they had forgotten all their past, they quickly began to display their formidable sides in countless grand universes.

In millions of grand universes, their figures appeared almost everywhere, all of them very powerful.

Some have even now reached the pinnacle in those great worlds.

However, after reaching the pinnacle, some beings have become somewhat restless.

They have completely forgotten about their past, yet some instincts deep in their souls remain.

In just ten thousand years, many former original divine beings have started reconsidering the creation of a Divine Realm after reincarnation.

"Among them, many want to build a Divine Realm again," Chu Mo said with a smile.

Despite his secluded life here, appearing detached from the world, the truth is, none of the world's happenings escape his senses.

For he is already the only god in this world!

Actually, ten thousand years ago, Chu Mo already had the strength to leap out of this quadrilateral realm. But he didn't want to, nor did he wish to. He has always maintained a high suspicion and vigilance toward the so-called eternal and immortal world outside.

"What? They... are truly a group of mindless people," Qi Xiaoyu was stunned, then sighed.

Yiyi also said, "Building a Divine Realm? I think we should really address the education issues in those million universes. We need to let all beings know about some things from their childhood!"

Chu Mo shook his head with a smile: "Sometimes, the more you know, the heavier the curiosity. In fact, it's because they don't know enough. There's nothing much, they can't stir up too big of a storm."

"With husband around, of course, there's no problem," Qi Xiaoyu said softly.

Chu Mo slightly shook his head: "I can sense that there's still a mysterious and turbulent force in this world, which should have awoken ten thousand years ago. But for some reason, it hasn't shown any sign until now."

"Are you talking about that great mysterious place?" Yiyi asked.

Nowadays, the entire great world is already covered by the rune network, but that doesn't mean there are no secrets in this world. Indeed, many places remain unexplorable to these beings.

That great mysterious place is one of them.

Over ten thousand years, many former Divine Clan members have attempted to explore that area but couldn't even enter its outer regions despite paying a huge price. Gradually, the place became one that few dared to venture.

Chu Mo looked at them both and nodded slightly: "I think I should take a trip there. I suspect that the essence of time is there."

"What?" The faces of the two women suddenly changed.

In their hearts, Chu Mo is invincible, someone who cannot be defeated. But as for time... it's not a person! It's a force, a supreme law! Yet... it's intelligent, not just a lifeless entity.

"Can you not go?" Yiyi looked at Chu Mo with a somewhat pitiful expression: "If it doesn't come to bother us, why should we provoke it? Wouldn't it be better for everyone to be at peace?"

Chu Mo shook his head: "It's impossible for true peace. It's merely lying dormant, waiting. If everything in this world isn't under its control but is instead governed by the laws of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, then its existence value is lost."

"Why? Time has always been here!" Yiyi, now at a very advanced stage, still couldn't fathom such deep matters.

Chu Mo said: "When it's needed, it's there; when it's not needed, it's not!"

At this moment, Chu Mo suddenly furrowed his brow slightly and said: "Someone is knocking at the gate?"

The two women were stunned at once, looking at Chu Mo and asking in unison: "Who is knocking at the gate?"

The former fragmented Divine Realm has not completely collapsed yet, but in fact, it's no different from total collapse. It's become a chaotic place, so they could hardly imagine who would be capable of knocking the gates from that place.
