Within the long river of time under Emperor Yao, Sun Wukong was peerless - standing alone, he overshadowed the brilliance of all other heroes.

"Perhaps that Venerable, too, was nothing more in his youth..."

Emperor Yao thought, unable to comprehend how powerful Sun Wukong had become in the present.

In the mirror, Ao Luan accepted Sun Wukong's baptism.

"I know what to do."

After the light on her forehead disappeared, she said to Sun Wukong, "I need ten days."

"Alright."

Sun Wukong nodded, confident he could secure ten days.

After seeing off Ao Luan, Sun Wukong turned his gaze towards the Mortal World.

His battle with the undying civilian could easily destroy the sun, moon, and stars; even if he had a contingency, it was necessary to make more preparations within the Three Realms.

Suddenly, a flame-like brilliant glow emerged around Sun Wukong - sacred and dazzling.

"Heavenly Emperor!"

Earth Virtues Star Monarch was startled: "What are you planning to do?"

"Set up a Barrier in the Mortal World."

Sun Wukong answered.

He had already grasped a part of the true meaning within the Hongmeng Totems, which, when corroborated with the Wanling Heavenly Dao, produced some extreme Divine Skills.

The Hongmeng Totems surfaced one by one in Sun Wukong's eyes, flashing with dazzling brilliance.

At this moment, the entire Spirit Vein network of the Three Realms was reflected in his mind, exceedingly clear, at his disposal for reformation - this feeling was unparalleled.

"It's nothing, quite simple."

Sun Wukong spoke.

His voice, indifferent and reverberating across thousands of miles, carried a divine might that swept across the land, altering the nodes of many Spirit Veins.

The sudden changes were silent and unnoticed, yet they terrified the local Mountain Gods and Earth Deities, who knelt on the ground quivering.

Sun Wukong retracted his Spell and returned his focus to the undying civilian.

He deliberately avoided Wanling City. The undying civilian, unaware of any anomalies, returned to the Heavenly Dao Library following the commotion with the Totems.

"The undying civilian has gone back."

Emperor Yao watched the undying civilian studying the Heavenly Dao in the library: "Shouldn't she be stopped from looking at those books?"

"No need."

Sun Wukong answered: "There are no secrets in the Heavenly Dao; in fact, I'm curious to see what she can create."

The Heavenly Dao, an entity of inclusiveness capable of shaping all possibilities, never concerned Sun Wukong about others learning from it.

He was more interested in whether the undying civilian could bring something novel to the Heavenly Dao.

"By the way."

Sun Wukong recalled something and spoke to Earth Virtues Star Monarch: "Go find Immortal Zhenyuan and tell him that the next small world can be built near Wanling City."

Earth Virtues Star Monarch, momentarily stunned, then grasped that it must be related to the undying civilian.

Although not understanding Sun Wukong's intent, Earth Virtues Star Monarch still nodded and turned to pass the message.

By that evening, Immortal Zhenyuan had arrived at the Tongtian River.

He designated an area by the riverbank for the construction of a new small world.

"Isn't my worthy brother making trouble for himself?"

Immortal Zhenyuan watched the busy Immortals by the riverbank, failing to grasp Sun Wukong's plan.

But he came to understand that regardless of the plan, his duty was to build his small world, leaving all other worries to Sun Wukong.

After several days of busyness, the city near the Tongtian River was emptied, and a vast Barrier stood on the ground with all the preparations in place.

"Drive away all the onlookers!"

Immortal Zhenyuan instructed the Immortals to disperse the crowd.

This time, with the construction of a small world so close to the city, it attracted many onlookers; the crowd was dense, with most coming from Wanling City to watch.

After the Immortals dispersed them, still many stood in the distance to sneak peeks.

Immortal Zhenyuan couldn't possibly drive away everyone. Seeing the crowd had moved further away, he began to build the small world with the other Immortals.

Before building the small world, they had to refine Immortal Stones first.

A huge cauldron furnace hung in mid-air, shrouded in Divine Fire, with Heavenly Dao Patterns and totems intertwined and flickering.

Immortal Zhenyuan cast the Sleeve Universe, tossing raw materials such as gravel and soil into it, burning a more intense Samadhi Fire.

For a full three days and nights, the materials in the cauldron were extracted and refined, before they transformed into stone blocks that flew out, landing on the ground and forming a flat expanse of land.

Immortal Zhenyuan looked over, the ground shining with luster, containing totems that were both quiet and boisterous.

"These damned things are finally behaving."

Immortal Zhenyuan rejoiced and said, "This method will work!"

"Immortal, the cauldron furnace is about to collapse."

An Immortal reported.

"What?"

Immortal Zhenyuan lifted his head, indeed noticing that the cauldron in the sky started trembling uncontrollably after spitting out some stone blocks, with some cracks appearing on its surface.

"That scoundrel Zhang Liang, he must have given me flawed goods."

Immortal Zhenyuan grumbled, "You guys steady it first, I'll go get a few more from Zhang Liang!"

As his words fell, Immortal Zhenyuan swept his sleeve and riding the clouds, he left.

After he left, a figure entirely clad in silver appeared beside the small world.

She stood there alone, less than a meter from the Barrier, yet no Immortal could see her; this was the true form of the Undying Citizen Nine.

"That Sun Wukong is truly terrifying!"

The sound of cold breaths reached her ears from a companion, "He's actually planning to recreate Hongmeng!"

They found it unbelievable, but now they had no choice but to accept that someone with boundless ambition really sought to create Hongmeng.

This was something they dreamt of, someone was doing what they longed but failed to accomplish.

"Can he succeed?"

The woman asked, her eyes silver as she watched the cauldron, her heart a tumultuous ocean, calm one moment and swept by a vast tide the next.

"Not possible at the moment."

A voice replied next to her, "This cauldron is too weak, and the small world it creates is full of flaws."

"But this direction may be the correct one..."

Another voice spoke, "We must not underestimate Wanling Heavenly Dao; it will eventually be successful."

"Chaos so vast and boundless, to think that such a spell would emerge!"

The Undead Citizens were both alarmed and elated, "Our long-cherished wish could be realized through Wanling Heavenly Dao."

"If the Heavenly Dao continues to develop, it will certainly recreate Hongmeng."

As they spoke, a sense of fear secretly welled up within.

"This Heavenly Dao defies the heavens, it's truly terrifying!"

"The Venerable will certainly not let it go. We must seize it before the Venerable comes!"

A mixture of hope and fear surged in the hearts of all Undying Citizens.

"We've just discovered this thing, we must find the perfect timing to act."

"This Heavenly Dao needs further perfection, we cannot make our move yet."

They discussed the next steps in the woman's ear.

"The conflict between Hongmeng Totems and the Heavenly Dao won't settle, it is bound to give us an opportunity!"

"Nine, you go first to the library and continue to learn. We will follow shortly. If it's absolutely necessary, sacrifice yourself for us."

"We must not fail this time!"
