The comet remained silent, only relentlessly unleashing heavenly tribulations.

Many immortals and gods were shaken by this extraordinary phenomenon.

"He actually succeeded!"

"Excavating the water veins of the Thirty-Three Heavens is an unprecedented feat for the Heavenly Court in tens of thousands of years!"

"This 'broom star' really has some tricks up his sleeve!"

Even some of the righteous gods who had previously looked down on Song Yi couldn't help but put aside their contempt at this moment.

Within the Thunder Department.

The Holy Mother of Golden Spirit sat regally on the altar, surrounded by lightning.

She opened her eyes, looked at the flowing river between heaven and earth, and a hint of admiration appeared in her eyes: "You do have some skill."

Han Zhixian and Caiyun Fairy both looked astonished.

"Senior Sister, even ordinary Golden Immortals might not be able to accomplish such a task, right?"

The Holy Mother Jinling said calmly, "Digging a river channel is not difficult; the difficulty lies in severing the Heavenly River and connecting it to the Thirty-Three Heavens. Once the Heavenly River is completed, the entire Heavenly Court's fortune will benefit."

Taihuan Jiyaotian, the Plague Palace.

Lü Yue sat upright on the imperial throne, wearing a crown of plague and a black imperial robe.

The surrounding area was filled with magical artifacts such as the Plague Bell, the Heavenly Seal, and the Plague-Pointing Sword.

But at this moment, his face was terribly gloomy.

Because he could clearly sense that as the Heavenly River circulated, the plague in the Boundless Vow Heaven was being slowly weakened.

Although the reduction was not significant.

But for him, who was in charge of the Plague Path, it felt as if someone was slowly encroaching on his territory.

Lu Yue gazed at the Milky Way in the sky, his eyes filled with chilling intent: "What a jinxed star..."

Zhou Xin, Li Qi, and other Plague Department deities standing to the side also looked grim.

"Your Majesty, this boy is merely a seventh-rank official, yet he has truly become a force to be reckoned with!"

"If we allow it to continue growing, I'm afraid..."

Lu Yue raised his hand to interrupt, and the hall immediately fell silent.

He gazed at the Milky Way that stretched between heaven and earth, and after a long while, he coldly spoke: "The Investiture of the Gods has only been going on for three to five hundred years, what's the rush..."

-----------------

The vast starry sky.

Song Yi returned the Cang Hu Jie pearl with both hands.

The pearl hangs in the void, still radiating divine light, with faint patterns of the Great Dao floating and sinking within.

Nezha raised his hand and made the spirit pearl disappear back into the ancestral aperture between his eyebrows.

In an instant, a burst of light flashed around Nezha, and a towering, majestic image of a spiritual pearl appeared behind him before disappearing again.

"I will forever remember the great kindness of the Third Prince."

Song Yi bowed solemnly.

Nezha simply waved his hand, his expression remaining indifferent:

"You've given me Xing Tian's essence blood, which means I, the crown prince, have taken advantage of you. No need for further explanation!"

Song Yi bowed solemnly once more, then turned and transformed into a golden rainbow, heading straight towards the Heavenly Court.

Upon returning to the Heavenly Realm, he did not go back to his Broom Star Lord's residence, but went straight to the Heavenly Pivot Palace.

Outside the mansion gate, celestial officials came and went in droves, and they all bowed to Song Yi upon seeing him.

Song Yi entered the mansion directly.

Venus, who was engrossed in reviewing documents, put down his vermilion pen when he saw Venus enter. He stroked his beard and smiled, saying, "Star Lord, you've accomplished something truly remarkable! You've earned our utmost respect!"

"Thanks to Heaven's great blessings!" Song Yi cupped his hands in greeting, then changed the subject, "However, this incident has given me some food for thought, and I'm not sure if I should say it or not."

"Please feel free to speak."

Song Yi pondered for a moment and said, "The Heavenly River connects the thirty-three heavens and is the lifeblood of the Heavenly Court's fortune. When the Heavenly River flows smoothly, the energy flows continuously and life is endless; if the Heavenly River is disrupted, the Heavenly Court's energy will inevitably be affected. I humbly suggest that a Dragon King be appointed to guard each of the thirty-three Heavenly Rivers, specifically in charge of the Heavenly River's water management, to prevent any unforeseen events."

Upon hearing this, Venus's expression gradually hardened. After pondering for a long time, he said, "The words of the Broom Star Lord are indeed those of a wise and experienced strategist."

He stood up and paced for a moment: "The thirty-three celestial rivers are indeed of paramount importance and need to be guarded by the Dragon King. However, the Weak Water of the Nine Heavens dissolves all primordial energy. Ordinary aquatic creatures at the Earth Immortal level who enter will have their cultivation destroyed by the Weak Water within three days, their bodies and souls annihilated. Only dragons at the Celestial Immortal level can resist the erosion of the Weak Water and guard it for a long time."

"Celestial Immortal Realm..." Song Yi frowned slightly, then said, "Thirty-three dragons at the Celestial Immortal Realm, in the Three Realms only the East Sea Dragon Clan can gather them."

"Indeed." Venus nodded, returned to his desk and sat down, picked up his brush and dipped it in ink. "Since it is a matter concerning the Milky Way, it is inconvenient for others to handle it. I will trouble the Broom Star Lord to make a trip to the East Sea in person."

Having said that, he wrote a divine decree in a flash, his pen moving swiftly and powerfully.

On the silk, gold characters flowed, and at the end was the seal of the Heavenly Pivot Palace, exuding a majestic and dignified aura of the Heavenly Court.

Venus rolled up the divine oracle, tied it with a silk ribbon made of primordial gold essence, and then stamped a star mark unique to the Heavenly Pivot Palace at the seal before handing it to Song Yi.

"Tell the old Dragon King with this divine decree to select thirty-three celestial immortals of upright character and sufficient cultivation. These are the positions of true gods conferred by the Heavenly Court. With the blessing of divine positions and rank, it will only benefit his dragon clan."

Song Yi accepted the divine decree with both hands and said, "I obey the decree!"

After leaving Tian Shu Mansion, Song Yi looked up at the sky.

In the Heavenly Court, there is no distinction between day and night; only the alternation of the sun and stars determines the time.

At that moment, the sun was high in the sky. After a moment's thought, he decided not to rush off and turned to head towards the Imperial Horse Stables.

The Imperial Horse Stable was located on the thirteenth heaven, in the Xuming Hall, which covered a vast area, and the neighing of heavenly horses could be heard from afar.

Upon seeing Song Yi's disappearing light from afar, the supervisor had already trotted out to greet him, his face beaming with smiles, "Lord Star Lord, are you going down to the mortal realm on official business again? I'll go prepare your horse right away!"

Song Yi nodded slightly.

Before long, two snow-white celestial horses with silver manes were led out, pulling a carriage adorned with star-studded tassels behind them.

The supervisor personally lifted the carriage curtain for Song Yi, smiling obsequiously, "These two are newly tamed dragon-bearded celestial horses, their speed is thirty percent faster than ordinary celestial horses!"

After Song Yi boarded the carriage and settled in, the two celestial horses raised their heads and let out a clear neigh. Their four hooves trod on the clouds, dragging the carriage as a streak of silver light, and galloped towards the lower realm.

The carriage passed through nine layers of fierce winds and thunder and fire, and the clouds and mist below gradually dissipated, revealing the landscape of the human world like a painting unfolding before them.

Upon reaching the shores of the East China Sea, Song Yi pressed down on the clouds and gazed into the distance.

The vast expanse of blue water blends seamlessly with the sky, and a rich, ethereal aura permeates the boundless ocean, like smoke and rosy clouds, transforming the entire East China Sea into a fairyland.

He took a deep breath; within this rich spiritual energy was a wisp of extremely thin, yet incredibly pure, innate spiritual energy.

Since the Lich War, the primordial continent has been shattered, and less than one-tenth of the innate spiritual veins remain.

When the Investiture of the Gods occurred, the five sages personally intervened, causing the heavens and earth to lose their color and the universe to be turned upside down. The primordial world was completely shattered, and the innate spiritual energy was transformed into acquired spiritual energy.

The four seas are located in remote areas and were less affected by the calamity, so some innate spiritual veins remain.

However, according to his estimation, in at most tens of thousands of years, this remaining innate spiritual energy will all be transformed into acquired energy. At that time, it will be difficult to find such pure primordial power in the world again.
