Xue Yingqi looked up at Jiang Feng who was flying in the sky and then turned her attention back.
She did not expect that despite Jiang Feng not being in the Divine Dominion all this while, not only did he not lag off in terms of power, but he had also become even more powerful.
At this stage, there was already nothing that they could help him with. All they could do was to support him and to prepare for the Great Divine-Infernal War.
“Gather everyone, we are attacking Tianyu City!” Since Jiang Feng had already issued the order to have them conquer a city, then he would be the one to block the incoming Celestial Soldiers and Celestial Generals.
That meant that this would be the best chance for them to conquer a city!
If they were to conquer a city, the s.h.i.+fters Faction would then have a base for them to expand outward. And then, they would have the ability to fight against the other races.
With one command, the army of the s.h.i.+fters began to march toward Tianyu City in high spirits.
When all the players from the other factions nearby saw the s.h.i.+fters in such high morale, they all chose to move away and no one would dare to stop them. They had already seen Jiang Feng’s power.
He was able to block the combined power of three thousand Arhats and even counter them with his own large area of effect attack. They could imagine just how powerful he was.
If Jiang Feng came back when they were stalling the s.h.i.+fters, then all they could do was cry.
***
Jiang Feng did not actually intend to attack the Heavenly Palace, but he was trying his best to rescue others!
He was not foolish enough to directly attack another faction’s base of operation. It would be suicide.
Following behind the G.o.ds, he took out his ID Card and changed his appearance, becoming a normal Celestial General. The Celestial General’s name was “Celestial General 1006.”
“Tathagata is so lazy, using numbers to replace the name of these Celestial Generals.”
The Celestial General was one of the Celestial Generals that he remembered killing when he was countering their attack. He wanted to use this chance to sneak into the Heavenly Palace.
As for why he did not transform into the slain G.o.ds such as the G.o.d of Thunder or Mother Lightning, that was because the G.o.ds were all quite close to each other and he could easily be exposed. Meanwhile, the Celestial Generals did not interact with others much, and there would not be many that were familiar with the Celestial General’s habits.
The Celestial Generals’ status was lower than the G.o.ds but higher than the Celestial Soldiers. Being in the middle, they became the best candidate for him to transform into.
After he had transformed, he quickly chased after the G.o.ds and joined them.
At this time, a Celestial General next to him asked him curiously, “1006? I saw that you were attacked earlier. Why are you still alive?”
Jiang Feng said unhappily, “1986, does that mean you want me to die?”
Celestial General 1986 faked out a laugh and said, “No, it is not like that. Looks like your power has increased somewhat lately if you were able to defend against such a terrifying attack. You might even join the G.o.ds one day! At that time, remember to take care of me, alright?”
“Of course,” Jiang Feng smiled and then asked, “That s.h.i.+fter Emperor is too powerful. Do you think that he would attack the Heavenly Palace?”
“I do not think so. Only a few of the G.o.ds have been dispatched this time. There are still about a hundred G.o.ds within the Heavenly Palace. No matter how powerful he is, he would not be able to defeat them all.”
“Unlikely. With Sun Wukong being sealed under the Five-Fingers Mountain and Fairy Violetglow as well as Grandmaster Bodhi being imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, he would definitely think of a way to save them.”
“Hm? I thought that Fairy Violetglow and Grandmaster Bodhi have been moved to the Moon Palace where they are imprisoned together with Chang’e?”
“Oh… Right, my memory is getting fuzzy.”
…
He then entered the Southern Heavenly Gate together with 1986 as they chatted.
He got to know from the Celestial General that Fairy Violetglow and Grandmaster Bodhi were not imprisoned within the Heavenly Prison, but were instead locked up together with Chang’e.
Following behind the Celestial Soldiers and Celestial Generals, he recalled the love story between Marshal Tianpeng and Chang’e.
He wondered if there was a Marshal Tianpeng within this Heavenly Palace.
He was moved when he remembered accidentally killing Chang’e and that Marshal Tianpeng decided to die with her, and swear that he would not become a G.o.d. He wondered where he was and if he managed to live a happy life with Chang’e. He also wondered if the Chang’e in the Moon Palace was real or fake.
***
The Moon Palace.
It was located in a small palace behind the Heavenly Palace.
It was extremely gorgeous, but it was also very frigid. It was so cold as if it was a prison.
At this time, a beauty sat on a laurel tree wearing a white dress, a jade rabbit in her arms. He looked away with sorrow in her eyes.
After she died, Chang’e used her special ability to be revived in Dragonquarry. However, she could no longer see the man she loved and she was imprisoned here.
There was another beauty under the laurel tree wearing a purple dress, her red eyes looking at where the Five Fingers Mountain was.
She was Sun Wukong’s wife Fairy Violetglow.
She was like a mortal now, with all her powers gone. Even a low-level monster could easily kill her.
In a room within the Moon Palace, an extremely weak old man with white hair looked at the two beauties and let out a sigh. He sat in the room cross-legged as he tried to treat the injuries on him. At the same time, he was also looking for a way to restore his original power.

Gao Village. A monster with the head of a pig and the body of a human sat on the edge of a roof. He raised his head and looked at the moon in the night sky, a tear slowly flowed down from his eyes.
He did not know why he would cry when he looked at the moon. He had been avoiding looking at the moon, but he could not stop himself. He really could not. If he stopped looking at the moon even for one night, he would become extremely sad to the point where his anxiety would cause him to go mad.
If the weather was bad and the sky was blocked, he would instantly become nervous and anxious.
There was a beautiful woman next to him.
The woman looked at the pig-headed monster that was crying. There was no fear in her eyes, only tenderness. She took out a handkerchief and then wiped his tears away.
“Bajie, if you want to go back, can I accompany you?” The woman said to Zhu Bajie softly.
Zhu Bajie then looked at the woman next to her. “Where to?”
The woman pointed at the moon and replied, “To find her at the Celestial Palace!”
Zhu Bajie asked in confusion, “Find who?”
The woman shook her head. “I do not know.”
Zhu Bajie did not want to become a G.o.d when he was resurrected in Dragonquarry. But he did not expect to be revived in the body of a pig, and he had even forgotten all the memories in his past life.
There was someone that he was missing a lot, but he did not know who she was.
Suddenly, a small monk appeared next to them and said with a faint smile on his face, “You are in such a good mood, kind Sir and Madam, to be able to enjoy the moon under the night!”
Zhu Bajie and the woman were slightly shocked as they looked at the monk next to them, asking him, “Who are you?”
The little monk clasped his hands together and said, “It is not important who I am. What is important is that I know who you are!”
Zhu Bajie then asked, “Who am I?”
The little monk then said with a face of pride, “You are Marshal Tianpeng, commanding 100,000 Celestial Soldiers and Celestial Generals. You are also…”
Whoos.h.!.+
The little monk was still explaining when many golden Swastikas flew out from his mouth and entered Zhu Bajie’s head. It was at this moment Zhu Bajie was struck by pain as he rolled on the roof, holding his head.
As the little monk continued to explain, a picture began to form in his mind. It was at the twinkling nebula. A beauty wearing a pure, white dress. And the eternal promise that had been carved into his bones.
He remembered everything at this moment.
