The Middle Thousand World lacks stars; either create one, or have a subordinate Star Lord take the position.

If that's the case, then the Small Thousand World will need to select a new Star Lord.

Alternatively, wait until the Star Lords of this realm achieve Harmonization, then send their avatars to the Small Thousand World.

Both methods are viable.

After all, the Upper Pure Demon Tribulation has passed, and there are still ten thousand years until the next Small Thousand Demon Tribulation.

The Demon Tribulation of the Wushan World also concluded just over a thousand years ago.

The Altar Temple World still has five thousand years to go.

The latter two experience fewer Demon Tribulations, both being in the single digits and of low level; the Small Thousand Worlds can handle them on their own without requiring my intervention.

The remaining matters involve completing the Sun and Taiyin.

These two are indispensable.

Following that are Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, along with Beidou, Nandou, Ziwei, Taiwei, Tiashi Three Constellations, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise—Four Symbols, and the Twenty-Eight Constellations, among others.

On the earth, there must also be a River Lord and Mountain God; in the underworld, there must be ghosts and ghost officers.

As for personnel in the Heavenly Court, promote some according to the original system to the Middle Thousand World.

The structure of the Civil and Martial Arts Academy remains unchanged.

Then comes the question:

Who should be the Heavenly Emperor of the Middle Thousand World?

After much contemplation, Song Lin ultimately decided to appoint himself as the Heavenly Emperor of the Middle Thousand World. The official title remained Shenxiao Heavenly Emperor, though he would refer to himself as the Eastern King in casual parlance.

As for the name, it would be hidden and not engraved onto the official sacrificial tablets.

As for the truth? Let others speculate at will.

The Kunlun Heavenly Realm.

What is called the Kunlun Heavenly Realm is actually a mountain range.

At its center is the towering Kunlun Mountain, standing ten thousand miles high.

The entire Kunlun Mountain is also referred to as the Immortal Realm. Beyond its summit, Xuanpu, where the Palace of the Polestar resides, there are three distinct layers of Zengcheng: the upper, middle, and lower regions.

This is the most vital essence of the Heavenly Realm.

To the four cardinal directions lie the Four Corner Mountains.

Upon each mountain coils a Divine Dragon, its descendants—the Dragon Clan—Jiao-Dragons, and massive pythons.

Beyond the Four Corner Mountains, countless Abnormal Soldiers, beings with innate extraordinary abilities, peculiar spirits, intelligent elves, and Taoist demons who've attained enlightenment inhabit cave mansions.

Tianyong City houses various Taoist Soldiers; Tongyou City is home to Ghost Soldiers; Fiery Sun Mountain is where countless puppets reside.

Additionally, there are numerous mineral veins and spiritual veins, guarded by various Abnormal Soldiers and Demon Clans.

These beings are the core members of the Heavenly Realm, forming the world's fundamental ecology.

That doesn't exclude mortals. These mortals often have innate abilities or shoulder certain missions.

"Each Small Thousand World will send some of its population to replenish the Middle Thousand World's inhabitants."

Currently, the landmass of the Middle Thousand World isn't particularly vast. Its total area is comparable to the Donghua Ancestor Star, capable of accommodating a population of two to three hundred billion without issue. Of course, this isn't its maximum capacity, but the largest population it can sustain without hindering development.

"Understood."

"The Heavenly Emperor of the Wushan Heavenly Court remains unchanged, still the Golden Crow. Supreme and Minor Fate Officers, step forward."

A man and a woman stepped forward.

"This Emperor has comprehended the Heavenly Water Dao and can create the Life River and Death River..."

As he spoke, Song Lin retrieved two porcelain bottles, one black and one white, and handed them to the pair.

"Take them back and complete the Dao of Life and Death."

Song Lin reappointed the figures of the Wushan World, leaving their titles unchanged but attaching their Dharma Seal positions under the Middle Thousand Heavenly Court for ease of mobilization.

The Altar Temple World.

Song Lin again took out two bottles of black and white water.

The Divine Sovereign Chen Yixin came forward to receive them. Upon sensing the substance within, he couldn't help but tremble with excitement and asked, "Your Majesty, may I comprehend the River of Life and Death?"

"You may, but you cannot oversee specific affairs."

If someone wished to comprehend another Dao, Song Lin would fully support them. After all, these were purely original Daos derived from his very being. How could he not encourage others to learn from them?

"The position of Heavenly Emperor for the Altar Temple World will be retained for now. Should you successfully perceive the Dao of the River of Life and Death and achieve the Harmonization Fruit, you will be sealed as the Heavenly Emperor of the Altar Temple World."

"Additionally, submit a portion of the roster shortly; the divine system of the Altar Temple World must also be perfected. Golden Crow, you should submit one too."

"The heads of the Middle Thousand World's Civil and Martial Arts Academy remain unchanged, still held by Chiyou and Tianji. The Sun and Taiyin roles are assigned to Wu Chen and Qingyu. Lu Wu is appointed as the Heavenly Emperor's Housekeeper, tasked with regulating the Four Seasons of the Heavenly Realm. Ying Zhao is named the Guardian of the Heavenly Realm, while Lingying takes the post of Gate God, guarding Kunlun's entrance."

"Emperor Ziwei, Bo Yikao, will preside as the Lord of Stars, overseeing celestial motions, while Li Erlang is appointed as the Three Realms Patrol Envoy, and Yang Jian as the Tianhe Marshal."

Both positions involve overseeing patrol duties, suitable considering their heightened perception and vigilance.

As for the remaining personnel of the West Zhou Heavenly Court... Song Lin deliberated on their assignment.

Originally, they too belonged to the Heavenly Court of this realm.

Though they had slumbered deeply, in terms of seniority, they held the highest qualifications.

Thus, Song Lin assigned Ji Chang and Ji Fa to the Civil and Martial Academy, respectively.

As for their titles? The same, as Great Emperor. The terms Emperor and Great Emperor essentially conveyed the same idea.

The Heavenly Court, unlike the mortal world, did not emphasize exclusive authority. In the mortal world, for the sake of maintaining supremacy, there would usually only be one Great Emperor. But in the Heavenly Court, there were numerous Great Emperors and Emperors in any myth or narrative.

Each domain, each world, held its own array of Great Emperors.

To the Immortals and formidable powers, the Sovereign of Ten Thousand Emperors, who ruled over countless, clearly possessed superior strength.

Other figures either received promotions or had their titles adjusted accordingly.

Chen Yixin acted temporarily as Heavenly Emperor, under the title of Son of Emperor.

The Golden Crow Emperor retained his original name, as Golden Crow directly meant the sun; further renaming seemed redundant.

Ji Dan was assigned to oversee the Donghua Small Thousand World, appointed as its Heavenly Emperor under the title Primordial Saint Heavenly Emperor.

The title Primordial Saint originated from the mortal world. Ji Dan was the first to establish an era of rites and laws, ending the period of Wilderness, ushering in civilization for humanity. Later generations referred to him as the Primordial Saint.

Song Lin originally intended to call him the Emperor of Rites and Laws, but the young man insisted stubbornly on the title Primordial Saint. Clearly, his aesthetic preferences left something to be desired.

"Now, the remaining matters can be discussed further in the Civil Academy. Officials of your respective offices, compile the personnel lists and submit them for review by the Academy. Once approved, present them to me."

Song Lin couldn't carelessly distribute appointments for the remaining individuals.

Currently, there were far too many personnel in the Heavenly Court, and some positions remained ambiguous. Professional tasks should be assigned to professionals.

Conquering the world was easy; governing it was another matter entirely.

The Middle Thousand Heavenly Court, along with other Small Thousand Worlds, faced severe talent shortages. Even the Star Lords were insufficient, let alone the Mountain Gods and Earth Deities beneath the vast lands.

This process would take at least ten thousand years.

Some talents required time to nurture. The minimum standard for a Great Emperor or Emperor was Harmonization—it wouldn't do to have an ordinary Primordial Spirit take on the role of a Great Emperor.

In any case, it could proceed slowly. Let them serve in acting capacities to gain experience; full appointments could be made once they formally attained the required realms.

Beyond the Middle Thousand World, the stars of the Small Thousand Universe and the Earth Deities of various civilizations also needed completion.

The current stage's primary goal was to develop the Middle Thousand. Meanwhile, Song Lin needed to continue his cultivation.

With this in mind, he closed his eyes in meditation, faint Eight Diagrams symbols appearing behind him.

This time, he was preparing to form the fourth Golden Core—Innate Eight Diagrams Golden Core.

Followed by Gold Energy, Wood Energy, nature, and so on.

The Middle Thousand World was currently just a framework; many features were yet incomplete. Its most famous characteristic—"A day in the heavens, a year on earth"—would only manifest as the Middle Thousand matured and absorbed more Small Thousand Worlds.

After the great war, the world grew peaceful once again. Others were dispatched by Song Lin to conquer Lao Mountain and the Upper Immortal World.

The Three Realms were at peace, and there was no warfare in the world.

The Donghua Rules were implemented within one Jiazi, restoring order to the Three Realms, and gradually reinstating the hierarchy of Immortals.

The dense Essence Qi of the Middle Thousand World and the unrestricted comprehension of the Dao led to rapid cultivation advancements among the Immortals.

One group was sent to conquer two Small Thousand Worlds, while under the leadership of the recently harmonized Emperor Lei De, Guu Yuchan, another group departed for the Void Small Thousand World.

They boarded a Treasure Raft to venture into the Great Thousand World for resources.

Time flew by; a hundred years passed in the Middle Thousand World.

During Song Lin's secluded cultivation, news suddenly arrived.

"Heavenly Emperor, there is a stranger outside."
