After the rain, the mountains are shrouded in mist, and the water shines brilliantly.

Sun Wukong, riding a log, drifts down the river with the current.

A streak of Immortal Light flies across the sky, landing beside him, transforming into a white-robed man.

"Your Majesty."

Fang Mountain stands on the water's surface, and with hands clasped in front says, "The empress has said the new Heavenly Rules are ready."

"Good."

Sun Wukong halts the log.

"There are some additional details..."

Fang Mountain speaks, "The empress is unsure of how to deal with them."

"Don't worry, once I find the monument, everything will be certain."

Sun Wukong replies.

Fang Mountain looks uncertain: "Is there really such a place?"

"I've found it."

Sun Wukong says with a smile: "Right beneath this river."

He extends his hand.

Above in the heavens, below on earth, and among humankind...

All the rights of this world take the form of the Jade Seal, emerging in the palm of his hand.

"Open!"

At Sun Wukong's command, the river parts, revealing the riverbed.

A Light Gate appears under the irradiation of the Jade Seal, leading to an unknown place.

"I've found it."

Sun Wukong states.

The doubts in his heart become reality.

"Wait here for me."

Sun Wukong speaks to Fang Mountain.

"Yes."

Fang Mountain takes a step back in reverence.

Even without Sun Wukong saying it, he can feel that the Light Gate is for Sun Wukong alone to enter.

Sun Wukong steps through the Light Gate.

After white blinding light, he arrives at Langya Blessed Land.

Amidst the swirling mists, a monument stands tall in the center of the Blessed Land, radiating an astonishing vitality.

"Indeed."

Sun Wukong looks at it, thinking: "Every world is the same."

Just like in the Three Realms, there is a monument here too.

He approaches the monument and can feel its supremely noble aura.

Each time he sees the monument, Sun Wukong feels a sense of insignificance.

He circles around the monument, stretches his hand to touch the pillar, and feels an ancient and profound aura emanating from it.

The patterns on it are different from those in the Three Realms, but there are many similarities.

What is written on this monument? Myths? Stories? Or something else...

As Sun Wukong touches those patterns, he can't help but miss the Three Realms.

He takes out the Jade Seal to communicate with the monument.

The Jade Seal and monument quickly resonate and the patterns begin to move, as if revealing a mysterious network of lines that carry the scent of ages.

Sun Wukong seems to see a hazy figure.

He widens his eyes, and in the next moment, the monument suddenly shines, and a voice emerges.

"Hongmeng universe, vast and boundless, now from prosperity to destruction, we leave behind the true history, for virtue and vice to be judged by posterity."

That's a sorrowful and ancient voice.

"May this history serve as a warning to future generations."

The voice disappears after speaking, almost making Sun Wukong doubt what he heard.

He looks at the Jade Seal, frowning slightly.

"History?"

The monument records history?

The history of a place called the Hongmeng universe.

Sun Wukong studies the monument for a long while but still has no clue.

Perhaps, only after finding more monuments, will he be able to understand the history being told.

"Come back."

Sun Wukong extends his hand, wanting to retrieve the Jade Seal floating in midair.

However, something else is quicker than him.

A streak of light suddenly shoots out from Sun Wukong and collides with the Jade Seal, absorbing it.

Sun Wukong is taken aback.

He quickly retracts the egg and looks at it with a cold gaze.

"Return the Jade Seal to me!"

The white egg flashes its light intermittently, showing submission.

"Trying to please me is useless."

Sun Wukong says, "That Jade Seal is a heavy burden of heaven and earth, you are not allowed to act recklessly!"

The egg engulfs Sun Wukong in its light.

Sun Wukong is startled, then closes his eyes to feel for a moment: "It's inside you, and I can still use its power?"

The egg trembles twice as if to confirm.

"That's not good enough."

Sun Wukong opens his eyes: "Spit it out right now."

Although he doesn't know what this egg is, he will not allow it to take away the Heavenly Emperor Jade Seal.

The light from the egg suddenly blossoms, and an object flies out from within it, landing in Sun Wukong's hand.

"This isn't the Jade Seal."

Sun Wukong says coldly, looking at the object in his hand, and then suddenly pauses: "Buddha Beads."

A small Buddha Bead appears in his palm.

The Buddha Bead looks unremarkable, yet it has a familiar fluctuation.

Sun Wukong realizes something and his expression changes.

"Is this the Buddha Bead you swallowed!?"

The egg moves slightly.

Sun Wukong examines the Buddha Bead, his eyes gradually revealing a subtle expression.

The consciousness in this Buddha Bead is dead, but the material remains; it might very well give birth to a completely new consciousness in the future.

Sun Wukong looks at the egg.

Could this creature have the ability to repair what it swallows and then expel it?

"What else have you eaten?"

Sun Wukong asks.

The egg then spits out another broken Buddha Bead.

Sun Wukong takes the bead and notices its aura is also very familiar.

This was the exploded Buddha Bead, which after floating in the void, was surprisingly absorbed by the egg.

"That's a pity, this one is useless."

Sun Wukong thinks to himself that this Buddha Bead was shattered too severely in the wars in the Three Realms; not even the Immortal Soul remains, and it can no longer be repaired.

It seems as though the egg knows his thoughts.

It shines again, and in the void, something continuously falls, infusing into the Buddha Bead.

The shattered bead begins to rapidly restore itself.

Sun Wukong watches this scene in amazement.

In the Three Realms, Immortal Zhenyuan just getting out of bed enjoys his tea with satisfaction.

"Those seven disciples have finally learned some wisdom, even prepared morning tea for me."

He thinks, not knowing what tea it is, but it tastes oddly vindicating.

"Glug, glug."

Immortal Zhenyuan takes a few extra sips.

"Hmm?"

He seems to suddenly hear something behind him.

Immortal Zhenyuan turns around.

"What a big hole!"

A shrill scream echoes throughout Wuzhuang Temple.

When the Spider Demons come to investigate the scream, Immortal Zhenyuan has disappeared.
