In the Eldritch World.

It was midnight.

Li Nianfan walked in the forest with Nanan.

Next up, they were going to the last location of their trip, the Wuzhuang Temple.

The Wuzhuang Temple was the place of Immortal Zhen Yuanzi. Most importantly, it had the Ginseng Fruit. Li Nianfan could live 47,000 years longer if he ate the fruit.

'Forty-seven thousand years, man!

'Such a long time. My hair would be all white by then!

'But… I like it!'

"The Ginseng Fruit's probably gone, but… I have to check it out. Perhaps there'd be a miracle."

Li Nianfan felt troubled yet excited.

"Nanan, it seems like we have to sleep outside again."

Li Nianfan was used to it. They immediately start to set up camp.

He laid on the ground and looked at the stars. The night sky was quiet and dark. The stars were bright and flickering.

'Hey, wait a minute.

'Why are the stars moving?

'Why are they moving so fast?'

Li Nianfan was stumped. The stars moved and shifted into the shape of a dog's head.

Li Nianfan thought that he was seeing things.

He looked closely. The stars moved again. They became a row of bright stars. Then, they became rings of light. Their colors were also shifting. Almost as if…they were changing colors.

"Holy cow. Is this a drone light show? The Heavenly Palace is so rich."

Li Nianfan was stunned. He exclaimed, "I see. The stars can change colors."

Nanan was pissed off. She had to complain, "Brother, is the Heavenly Palace having some sort of big event? They didn't invite us! Curse them!"

She was intrigued. She had clouds underneath her feet as if she was going to jet off. "Brother, come on. We have to hurry up and go over there!"

Li Nianfan waved it off. He casually smiled and said, "Enough. What for? We can watch it from the Immortal Realm. A closer view is worse."

Nanan pouted. She unwillingly backed down.

Somewhere amongst the stars.

A bunch of cultivators was insanely busy. Some of them held flags to manipulate the stars, some of them held compasses for navigation. Some cultivators held rulers to calculate.

"Places. Next image… Lotus! Make it happen!"

"Right, to the right! Yo, what's going on with you? Can't you differentiate your lefts and rights?!"

"That star over there, please, be brighter. Today, you shall be the brightest star."

The cultivators were all Xing Guan. They were responsible for star navigation and brightness. They were usually quite bored. However, they were busy that night. They started to sweat hard.

Taoist Xinghe walked on the starry sky. He was supervising.

Before the Heavenly Palace was rebuilt, he was working for the Seventh Princess, Ziye. He was also familiar with Li Nianfan. So, he was promoted into a Star Lord.

He supervised the workers with a serious face. He said in a low voice, "Look alive. This is a task assigned by the Lord Dog. Don't slack off!"

"We know. To be honest with you, the workload for a year isn't as much as tonight."

"I'm exhausted. Are there rewards for working overtime?"

Taoist Xinghe slapped him on the head. "Overtime?! It's an honor to work for Lord Dog. This is our chance to show our gratitude! Be mindful of your words. Got it?"

Deified Dog stood mid-air like a cool dog. Its dog fur swayed with the wind. He yelled, "Today's Lord Dog's birthday! Make sure nothing goes wrong. Our Lord Dog's watching. You'll have rewards if he's satisfied!"

He said while taking out a bunch of dog food to munch. "See this? This is Flat Peach flavored dog food. It's my usual meal. Do you know what being rich is? Our Lord Dog's the definition of being rich!"

The Immortals stared at the dog food with jealousy. They drooled over it.

The sentence worked. The Immortals were pumped to work overtime.

"Meteor. Yes, meteor. Stand by, places!"

"More meteors. We should make a meteor shower. It must be bright!"

The Jade Emperor and the others were watching nearby, too. The expert's dog was involved. They could not be careless.

They were instantly astounded when they saw Deified Dog taking out a bunch of dog food. They were crazy jealous of Deified Dog.

'We're worse than Dogs… We Immortals are worse than Dogs!'

The Jade Emperor coughed softly. He said, "Yang Jing, Deified Dog is your dog. Can you ask for some dog food?"

"Uncle, I can't do that!"

Yang Jing looked troubled. He shook his head and said, "I tried it before. Deified Dog is stubborn. He said only dogs can eat dog food. He won't give me any! I'll try again later, uncle. Maybe I can beg for some dog food for you."

The Jade Emperor did not look happy. He scolded, "Yang Jing, you have such backward thinking! You want to eat dog food?! How dare you think of me like that?

"I don't want to eat the dog food. I just have a Dog. I asked you to help get some dog food for my dog!"

"Yang Jing, I'm your aunty, listen to me. Where's your dignity as Erlang Shen?" said the Empress. She paused and said, "The Jade Emperor and I raised two lover dogs. You should give me some dog food, too."

Juling Shen immediately walked over. He smiled and said, "Lord Erlang Shen, my dog wants to try it, too. Can you…?"

Yang Jing was blushing from embarrassment. He was utterly humiliated.

'You guys have Dogs? Why don't I know about it?

'What a bunch of nonsense. You liars!'

He was livid from embarrassment. "Shoo!"

At the Dog Mountain.

The dogs stood in a row. They cast spells so the entire mountain was shining. A lot of Dog Demons were performing for the dogs.

Blackie looked up at the stars. He was reminiscing.

"It's the fifth year…"

Blackie mumbled to himself, "Five years since my Master raised me."

Blackie would always remember the day the Master adopted him. That day was the day of his new life. So, that day was his birthday. He would never forget it!

"Master, do you see the starry sky?"

Blackie suddenly turned into a poetic dog. Blackie said slowly, "I'm no longer by your side. But, we're looking at the same starry sky. This is us sharing the same sky a thousand miles away. Blackie's with you."

A bunch of meteors appeared in the sky. They rained down. It was a majestic sight of the universe.

The stars lit up the quiet dark night. It was beautifully mesmerizing.

Li Nianfan had meteors in his eyes. It was the reflections of the meteors. "Such a beautiful meteor shower! Are the Star Lords playing with fireworks up there? Party!"

Nanan was jealous. "Manipulating the stars must be so much fun. They didn't invite me…"

Meanwhile.

Two figures walked in the Chaos. They looked flustered and walked extremely fast. They passed the stars as fast as they could.

It was Goddess Nuwa and Yun Shu.

They headed into the Eldritch World. They stopped in their tracks because they were astounded by the sight.

The stars were bright and shining. The Immortals were very busy moving the stars around.

It was a fiesta!

"Goddess Nuwa, your world's very…"

Yun Shu tried to find a description. In the end, she said, "Your people are very…happy."

She had never seen anything like that. Nobody else in the Chaos would do that. 'They knew how to party, that's for sure!'

The busy Immortals were passionate and all fired up. They were joyous to look at. Yun Shu saw two words on them—'hope' and 'happiness'.

Yun Shu was impressed by the Eldritch World. It was a wonderful world. The people must be very happy.

Goddess Nuwa was baffled.

'What's going on today?

'What are they doing?

'When did the Heavenly Palace become so grand?

'The Jade Emperor's depraved!'

She looked serious. She stepped out and appeared in front of the Jade Emperor and the others. Her Saintly aura was emitted. It was holy and prestigious.

However, the two fish on her back were not fitting for her aura.

The Jade Emperor and the others jumped. Then, they hurriedly saluted, "Greetings to Empress Nuwa."

"Wow! What a big fish. Empress, this is a successful hunt. We should celebrate!"

"Celebrate? We're in big trouble!"

Goddess Nuwa was worried. She exclaimed, "No time to explain! Get ready to fight!"

"Fight?"

The Jade Emperor and the others were shocked. They were not ready at all. Suddenly, they heard a loud laugh. A powerful aura appeared. It twisted time and space.

Longevous Tianyuan walked over with a broadsword. He grinned at them with contemptuous eyes. His aura was powerful.

"Haha. Just in time for some sort of event night."

Longevous Tianyuan sneered, "Who knew that a flawed world would have such entertainment? Ridiculous."

He said that, but he was considering doing the same in his world. He wanted to have some entertainment in his world, too.

The elder appeared with malicious intent. He did not attack but everyone was petrified.

They knew that he was unstoppable!

No one dared to breathe.

"Another Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal…"

The Jade Emperor had wide eyes. His heart was beating out of his chest. 'We just dealt with a Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal a few days ago. Why's there another one?

'Being the Jade Emperor's so awful!

'Is the Eldritch World the back garden of Chaos Daluo Golden Immortals or something?

'Can't we live freely? My life's too hard.'

Goddess Nuwa squinted. She emitted a Saintly aura as she said, "You aren't worthy enough to cause havoc in my Eldritch World!'

Everyone instantly felt better when Goddess Nuwa said that. They went serious like they were ready to fight.

"We aren't worthy?"

Someone else mocked them in the depths of the Chaos.

Longevous Qingfeng who hid in the dark made an entrance.

He smiled and waved his horsetail whisk. The waterfall-like meteors instantly faded away into dust.

The sparkling stars were creating the shape of a Dog who stood tall.

They also faded away into nothing…

"Fancy tricks. Useless."

Longevous Qingfeng commented and smiled. He stood there smugly and asked, "What if I join in? Are we worthy enough?"
