The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden stood on the back of the Black Bird, letting the gale whip her robes, holding her scepter.

Behind her, auspicious clouds filled the sky, white birds spread their wings, and flowers bloomed everywhere. These were the mounts of countless fairies and goddesses, obscuring the sky and the sun.

These fairies were all dressed in flowing robes and extremely gorgeous attire, their heads adorned with jade hairpins and fairy rings.

Their appearances and figures were exceptionally beautiful, ranging from plump to slender, resembling a painting or mural of "Fairies on a Journey" when viewed from afar.

The colors of Dunhuang are nothing compared to its beauty.

"How can this celestial palace allow barbarian women to greet guests?" A fairy dressed in green silk robes with a graceful figure asked with slight dissatisfaction.

Before the assembled immortals, on the cloud platform of the Southern Heavenly Gate, Aferona was emerging from the teleportation portal.

She had red hair, and behind her were the blonde, green-eyed elf, Bi; the blonde, black-haired goddess of the sky, Bea Triss; and the blond, brown-eyed demigod, William Nadilan.

The only beings with black hair and black hair are the Human Immortal Phoenix, the Human Immortal Little Martial Saint, and Zheng Qing, who became the Earth's Ocean Goddess.

“That’s because the previous Heavenly Emperor couldn’t control the barbarians,” Chang’e retorted.

The fairy in green robes frowned slightly.

She was also an Earth Immortal, though not as perfect as Chang'e, but she wasn't afraid of her—after all, in the Jade Pool Scenic Area, even the strongest couldn't do whatever they wanted; the Queen Mother's favoritism was everything.

But now is not the time to argue.

"Please come in, everyone." Li Changzhou's clear and gentle voice came from inside the South Heavenly Gate.

The black bird slightly spread its wings, carrying the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden as it slowly descended onto the cloud platform of the South Heavenly Gate.

"Welcome, welcome!" Aferona said with a smile, raising her arm to shake hands.

This already takes into account that people from East Asia don't like hugs and cheek kisses.

However, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, whose body was enveloped in golden rainbow waves, simply took out a gift and handed it to her before leisurely entering the South Heavenly Gate.

The goddesses behind her, such as Magu, Chang'e, the Flower Fairy, and the Three Immortal Maidens, simply handed over their gifts, with the best attitude being a gentle smile.

After only three people had passed by, Aferona gave up on shaking hands; she simply couldn't manage it because she had too many gifts.

It would be impolite to accept the gifts into the national treasury in person, so she had no choice but to summon the twenty great demon gods.

These twenty demon gods, each a hundred meters tall, stood before the South Heavenly Gate, somewhat restoring the Heavenly Court's former grandeur. The fairies and goddesses behind them nodded in approval and their attitudes improved considerably.

The demons were all powerful and possessed great supernatural abilities. Even so, once the fairies entered, they were reduced to mere "frames," covered in gifts and enveloped in celestial light, like roadside trees decorated with festive lights during a holiday.

"So many treasures, how many game coins are they worth!" The little martial saint looked up at the twenty treasure mountains, each a hundred meters high.

"Stop talking nonsense and go inside!" Phoenix pulled him along.

The group hurriedly entered the South Heavenly Gate, subconsciously adjusting their clothes as they went—they had already put on their best clothes when they came.

The gift-giving is still underway.

"...In addition, the Queen Mother of the West sent us to congratulate His Majesty and specially presented ten 9,000-year-old peach trees, twenty 6,000-year-old peach trees, and fifty 3,000-year-old peach trees."

"Three thousand jugs of fine wine, twenty recipes for elixirs; three thousand jugs of jade dew, fifty methods of collection; one hundred thousand jars of a hundred kinds of immortal wine, fifty recipes for wine; "

"Three hundred dragons, three hundred phoenixes, and two hundred thousand various celestial birds and beasts; "

"Fifty immortal peaks, three thousand floating palaces, three thousand fairy maids, three thousand courtyards of rare flowers and herbs, three thousand gourds of immortal medicine, and three million immortal jades;

"The first volume of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals, the complete volume of the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends, the Hundred Gates of the Three Thousand Great Supernatural Powers, and 300,000 volumes of various Taoist and Buddhist scriptures."

"Three sets of Great Innate Formations, thirty sets of Lesser Innate Formations, one hundred thousand Acquired Formations, one Hunyuan Taiji Divine Talisman, thirty Taiji Divine Talismans, and one million other talismans."

"......"

Li Changzhou sat on the imperial platform, dressed in ancient costume with a fairy-like air to match Yang Qinglan, who was always in the state of "Goddess of Gushe".

With divine power bestowed upon him, his eyes shone brightly, his body circulated with profound energy, and he appeared majestic and imposing, truly a new Heavenly Emperor.

He smiled calmly on the surface, but his heart was pounding like a drum.

Why is the Queen Mother of the West so generous? Is she asking for something in return, or is she repaying the favor of bringing her back to Earth?

Or perhaps, they really do have a child?

It took the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden a great deal of effort to finish reciting the rites of the Queen Mother of the West.

The celestial concubine put away the list, bowed, and said, "Your subject, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, pays respects to the Heavenly Emperor!"

The Three Immortals, Magu, Chang'e, the Flower Fairy, and others stepped forward: "Greetings, Heavenly Emperor!"

Countless fairies and goddesses bowed and greeted the Heavenly Emperor!

The sound resonated through the heavens.

Li Changzhou put the matter of the Queen Mother of the West out of his mind. The scene before him, with its harem-like beauty and the taste of high power, made him feel the weight of his position.

With the beautiful Yang Qinglan by his side, if things were like this every day, he would probably fall into depravity.

"Thank you all," he said with a smile. "Please rise."

Because the "ascension to the throne" was sudden and unprepared, there was no banquet. A few fairies who were qualified to speak exchanged a few words, and then everyone dispersed.

Only the three thousand fairy maids and servants who were sent were kept to manage the gifts that Li Changzhou couldn't remember even after hearing them just once.

In addition, Chang'e also left behind some memories.

"When are you going to return the moon to me?" she asked coldly, still remembering the time Li Changzhou lied to her.

“Now,” Li Changzhou’s smile vanished, “Chang’e, receive your investiture. From this day forward, you are the Moon Goddess.”

The moon, 400,000 kilometers away, shone brightly, and Chang'e was also illuminated by moonlight. Boundless inspiration from all directions flowed in, forming a crescent moon between Chang'e's eyebrows.

The fairies and goddesses who were riding the clouds back to the beautiful Jade Pool stopped in their tracks.
