"Summer Palace?"

In the Mysterious Light Mirror, the Great Emperor Zhen Wu pondered for a moment, then nodded: "This is similar to my current work, I agree to it."

He was curious, however, why Sun Wukong would specifically divide into Six Palaces?

"To establish rules."

Sun Wukong replied.

By clearly allocating the responsibilities of the Six Palaces, he could delegate power to them and would not need to bother Ao Luan with everything in the future.

"I heard that Miss Ao Luan had some issues with her training, so the Great Saint is considering for her..."

Great Emperor Zhen Wu smiled and nodded: "Well then, I shall not refuse this responsibility."

Having persuaded the Great Emperor Zhen Wu, Sun Wukong then contacted the master of the Autumn Palace.

The responsibilities of the Autumn Palace were somewhat similar to the Ministry of Personnel, overseeing personnel management, controlling the registration of immortals and mortals, and responsible for assessing officials for appointments, promotions, transfers, and ennoblements.

Of course, Emperor Donghua was in charge.

Emperor Donghua was known for his clean and decisive actions, he agreed without a single word.

There was also the Winter Palace, which had a more difficult choice for its master.

The Winter Palace was the Department of Works, yet more massive than the equivalent in any human country.

Wanling Country focused on manufacturing, and the Winter Palace was a crucial department, needing to oversee various construction projects, land, water conservancy, transportation, and more.

Sun Wukong thought overnight, and eventually decided to entrust it to Immortal Zhenyuan.

"You're entrusting such important work to me?"

Immortal Zhenyuan was quite surprised: "Aren't you afraid that my love for beauty will delay the progress?"

Sun Wukong couldn't help but smile at his self-awareness.

Immortal Zhenyuan's passion for beauty made Sun Wukong hesitate for an entire night, but in the end, Sun Wukong decided to trust him.

"Immortal understands the priorities and will not delay the construction of the entire Wanling Country."

Sun Wukong said.

In his view, loving beauty was not a bad thing in itself; as long as Immortal Zhenyuan knew moderation, it might not be a detriment.

Perhaps he could even make Wanling Country more beautiful.

"Dear brother..."

Immortal Zhenyuan looked at Sun Wukong, touched.

He had always thought Sun Wukong had no sense of aesthetics, yet he trusted him so much.

"Dear brother, I really want to help you."

Moved as he was, Immortal Zhenyuan still refused: "But the Winter Palace manages too much, I can't spare myself."

The development of a new transportation device had already reduced his rest time to only ten hours a day. If he were to manage the Winter Palace, the workload would multiply by several times — he wouldn't accept that!

"I won't force you."

Sun Wukong turned to walk away.

Eh—

Immortal Zhenyuan was stunned; how could his brother give up so easily.

"Wait, dear brother, is there anyone else suitable to be master of the Winter Palace?"

Immortal Zhenyuan quickly asked.

"Water Virtues Star Monarch is willing to help."

Sun Wukong stopped: "You can report to him if you have any issues in the future."

Immortal Zhenyuan immediately changed his mind: "Then I'll do it."

Just a mere Water Virtues Star Monarch, how could he be fit to be his superior!

Immortal Zhenyuan coughed twice, then continued: "I have one more condition, dear brother must agree to it."

Sun Wukong turned back: "Please speak."

"The name Winter Palace doesn't sound good, you need to switch the Winter Palace and the Spring~Palace."

Immortal Zhenyuan said.

"..."

Sun Wukong felt that the name of the Spring~Palace was even worse than the Winter Palace.

But with no particular order to spring, summer, autumn, and winter, and Immortal Zhenyuan specifically wanting the Spring~Palace, he agreed.

Master Puti does not mind the formalities in addressing each other.

This matter was thus settled.

After meeting with Immortal Zhenyuan, Sun Wukong went to visit Ao Luan.

Ao Luan's complexion had improved significantly, she was about to start working, but was temporarily stopped by Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong then discussed the system of the Six Palaces.

"Brother acts so swiftly?"

Ao Luan was dumbfounded.

She had slept for a day, yet Sun Wukong had already devised the system of the Six Palaces.

"Above Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, there are also the Heavenly and Earth Palaces."

Sun Wukong told Ao Luan: "You are the master of the Heavenly Palace, overseeing finance, trade, and all governmental affairs and decrees."

The Heavenly Palace is the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the four palaces of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter are all governed by the Heavenly Palace.

Ao Luan thought it over carefully and felt there was no issue: "What about the Earth Palace?"

"The Earth Palace does not manage specific affairs; it only supervises."

Sun Wukong answered: "The master of the Earth Palace is Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad."

Lord Lao Zi is indifferent by nature and has no interest in this position; Sun Wukong originally wanted to choose Immortal Master Erlang, but the True Monarch could not leave Tongtian River, so he had to ask Lord to temporarily manage it.

He is one of The Three Pure Ones, with numerous faithful followers and disciples, making it easier for him to supervise the various palaces.

"The remaining work will be taken over by Wanling Hall."

Sun Wukong told Ao Luan: "This way, you won't be as busy as before."

Ao Luan was pleased.

The Six Palaces had all internal affairs arranged, only a few exceptions remained—such as legislation, which would be taken over by Wanling Hall.

This system should accurately be described as One Hall Six Palaces.

After parting from Ao Luan, Sun Wukong called for Lady Rakshasa.

"You have been studying by my side for many years, and have performed exceedingly well in all tasks."

Sun Wukong told her: "From now on, continue to stay by my side, consulting with representatives of the various palaces and races, to establish and revise the laws of Wanling Country."

Lady Rakshasa gladly accepted.

Moreover, the work of devising the national future development plans was also entrusted to her.

After years of training, she was now capable of handling these duties.

Sun Wukong still held another power in his hands, concerning foreign affairs and military decisions; Wanling Country did not yet have an army, but Sun Wukong kept it in mind for future considerations.

Only after setting up the upper structure, Sun Wukong finally felt reassured.

One Hall Six Palaces was the upper structure, and each department would further subdivide into several divisions, such as transportation, taxation, civil examinations, and so forth...

Sun Wukong did not need to personally consider these further detailed divisions of labor.

The next morning, the West Sea Dragon King, wearing Heavenly Clothes and brimming with joy, came to pay his respects to Sun Wukong.

After reporting about the rainfall, he suddenly asked: "Great Saint, may I request to reside in Wanling City permanently?"

Sun Wukong slightly raised his eyebrows: "Why is that?"

This place was too marvelous.

The West Sea Dragon King thought so; Wanling City was filled with delightful food and entertainment, unlike anything he had ever heard or seen in his long life.

Just one day here was more interesting than thousands of years spent in the West Sea Dragon Palace.

The West Sea Dragon King was very fond of this place and truly did not wish to return.

"Great Saint."

The West Sea Dragon King of course would not reveal his true thoughts and instead found an excuse: "Your old servant has spent most of his life managing clouds and rain. Coming to Wanling City and seeing everyone striving for progress, I also wish to contribute more to Wanling."

"I see..."

Sun Wukong saw that the Dragon King had other motives but did not expose them: "Rare is it that you have such intentions, but if you leave the Dragon Palace, how will rain be managed in the future?"

"No problem."

The West Sea Dragon King answered: "Moang is already capable of managing the entire continent, along with the assistance of other dragon sons and daughters, no major issues will occur."

"That's good."

Sun Wukong then agreed.
