Several days later, a majestic and handsome rooster arrived at Wanling Hall.

This creature was none other than the Star Official of the Sun in its true form, a huge rooster over two meters tall, so big one could even sit on its back.

Sun Wukong was stunned as he looked at it for a long while: "Star Official of the Sun, why don't you transform into a human form?"

"Great Saint, it is said that nobles often forget." The rooster spoke, "You have burnt away all my immortal power, and I have not yet recovered."

In the past, when the Twenty-Eight Constellations battled with Sun Wukong, they were scorched by his flames, reverting to their original forms and losing even their feathers.

The Star Official of the Sun had devotedly cultivated for two years before he was able to regain some mana and grow his feathers back.

"I had forgotten about that."

Sun Wukong apologized with a smile: "I truly regret that I was unable to measure my strength properly at that time."

"This was not the Great Saint's fault; our mana was just too weak," replied the Star Official of the Sun.

He was rather fortunate; more than half of the Constellations were still in closed-door cultivation, not daring to meet others.

As for the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals who had lost their powers and fallen to the Mortal World, they were in even worse luck—only half of them had made it back to the Heavenly Palace by now.

"Great Saint."

Star Official of the Sun asked curiously, "Where did you send Heavenly King Li? His Majesty has been unable to find him."

"Of course, he cannot be found."

Sun Wukong said with a laugh.

Heavenly King Li took a hit from Wukong's Jingu Bang all by himself, and unlike the other Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, Wukong had promised that Heavenly King Li would have to spend five hundred years in cultivation. The Curse Fire would surely make sure of it.

Even Wukong, the instigator, wasn't confident where Heavenly King Li was, let alone the Jade Emperor.

However, Sun Wukong was not concerned with Heavenly King Li's whereabouts.

"Star Official, have you come here with any particular work in mind?"

He inquired of the Star Official of the Sun.

The Star Official of the Sun thought for a moment, and then shook his head.

"I've heard that the Great Saint needs more hands, but being new here, I can't think of anything specific I can do at the moment."

He told Sun Wukong, "Just assign me any task at your discretion."

"In that case, you can settle down here first."

Sun Wukong wasn't in a hurry; he asked the Star Official of the Sun to stay in Wanling City for a while to find the work he wanted to do.

After making arrangements for the Star Official of the Sun, it was not long before another Star Official, having heard the news, made his way to Wanling Hall on his own.

This time, it was a giant wolf with a blushing, bashful female Immortal on its back.

"Wood of the Canine Star Monarch."

Sun Wukong looked at the giant wolf: "What brings you here?"

"I am here to pledge allegiance to the Great Saint."

The Canine Star Monarch let the female immortal down from his back and introduced her to Sun Wukong: "She is a fragrant maiden from the Pixiang Palace, deeply in love with me. Fearing we will not be accepted in the Heavenly Palace, we have come to the Great Saint to seek a position."

Sun Wukong nodded, appraising the female immortal by the Canine Star Monarch's side.

She was stunningly beautiful, and her eyes were full of tender affection when she looked at the Canine Star Monarch.

"Is this the Bashful Princess from the Heavenly Book?" He thought to himself; this couple's situation was indeed not easy.

Sun Wukong arranged for both of them.

Having received two Star Monarchs in a few days, Sun Wukong began to anticipate whether a third Star Monarch would arrive.

But after waiting for several days, no one else came.

Sun Wukong put away his thoughts and continued to ask the Grandmaster to pass on the teachings, cultivating every day.

A few days later, the Water Virtues Star Monarch entered Wanling Hall.

Sun Wukong was no longer handling routine matters and when he saw the Water Virtues Star Monarch approach on his own, he had a guess in his mind.

"Has the western river channel of the Tongtian River been completed?"

Sun Wukong asked, as he could think of no other reason for the Water Virtues Star Monarch to visit.

"Indeed."

The Water Virtues Star Monarch smiled and nodded: "I've come to ask for a small favor from the Great Saint."

Sun Wukong immediately agreed to help.

Tongtian River is the largest river in the Western Continent, and soon after Sun Wukong delineated the national borders, he decided to divert part of the river westward into the territory of Wanling Country.

He planned to use only one-fortieth of the Tongtian River's water flow, for which he mapped out a river channel twenty miles wide.

It took Water Virtues Star Monarch two years to complete the construction of the river channel, and today is the day for water diversion.

He and Sun Wukong left Wanling Hall and flew to the source of Tongtian River.

This was a boundless range of mountains, the peaks of which were perennially covered with snow and ice, and at the foot of the mountains countless tributaries gradually came together to eventually form the vast and mighty Tongtian River.

"I will change the course of several tributaries to lead them into Wanling Country."

Water Virtues Star Monarch took out the Magical Treasure Water Bowl, and said, "Great Saint, please lend me a hand."

Sun Wukong nodded.

Renowned as the Water God and controller of all the water in the world, Water Virtues Star Monarch held the Water Bowl upside down, and with a single command, countless streams erupted from the mountains, flowing continuously into the Water Bowl.

"Great Saint."

Water Virtues Star Monarch prompted.

Sun Wukong casually waved his hand: "Rise."

Immediately, a series of small hills rose from the ground, obstructing the original pathways of the tributaries.

"Not enough," said Water Virtues Star Monarch. "Please, Great Saint, carve out a channel."

Sun Wukong looked back and saw that they were almost three miles away from the river channel Water Virtues Star Monarch had been creating.

"Jingu Bang!"

He summoned the Jingu Bang, and with a throw to the ground, the Jingu Bang grew rapidly in mid-air, like a Giant Dragon.

It tore through the earth like a drill, plowing a deep trench that connected with the river channel.

"It's done."

Water Virtues Star Monarch muttered a Spell, and the Water Bowl filled with countless streams of water spouted thousands of water splashes, pouring down from the sky and into the trench.

The fervent river water roared in the new channel, surging straight down towards the southwest.

Sun Wukong retracted the Jingu Bang and stood in the clouds overlooking this newly formed long river.

A twenty-mile river channel is ten thousand meters wide, with roaring water flow, like a white Giant Dragon roaring on the land.

This river will flow through the planting areas, nourishing the land, sustaining countless creatures.

In addition to that, it will further expand in the future, connecting with Tongtian River, which is crucial for future trade as well.

Watching the river water, Sun Wukong suddenly felt a flash of insight.

He stretched out his hand, and in the center of his palm, a water droplet began to emerge, bright as Ming Yue, sweet as nectar, with a faint glow bursting forth.

"Water Marrow!"

Water Virtues Star Monarch was startled, "Great Saint, how did you manage to create Water Marrow?"

This is something that only a Water God could make, how could the Great Saint know how?

"Recently I've been learning some Daoist Skills, and had a sudden insight."

Sun Wukong answered.

He gazed at the Water Marrow, his eyes seemingly piercing through time and space, seeing distant scenes thousands of miles away.

At Guan River Mouth, crowds were moving their families onto ferries.

"Why don't we use Floating Ships to migrate them over?" asked one of Erlang's infantry on the ferry. "Floating Ships are so much faster than ferries."

"Floating Ships can't fly that far, they must be replenished with Immortal's Mana," replied another Ghost Judge. "Miss Ao Luan strictly forbids us from using Spells to bring them over."

"Why?" the Erlang's infantry was puzzled. "Wouldn't that be faster?"

"I don't understand either," said the Judge. "We don't need to delve into the reasons; our only duty is to protect them along the way."

The Erlang's infantry nodded.

"The migration at Guan River Mouth is going smoothly…"

Sun Wukong withdrew his gaze, the light in his eyes gradually extinguished.

"This is the power of a Water God."

He looked at the Water Marrow and then crushed it.
