Even as Taiyi True Master multiplied himself into hundreds of millions, he still felt somewhat exhausted in spirit and energy.

In contrast, Jie Sect, thanks to its large number of disciples, could maintain the most basic operations of the Thunder Fire Fighting Plague Department even if Xuanqing acted as a hands-off manager.

Upon hearing this, Nanji Daoist shook his head: "Even if our teacher is willing to take in more disciples, they require time to grow. They simply cannot take on responsibilities on their own in the short term! In my view, it would be better to discuss this with Fu Xi, Shennong, and Xuanyuan, the three Human Emperors!"

As sovereigns of the Three Realms, ruling over billions, they certainly have more experience managing the Heavenly Court than the two of us, who are disciples of the Xuan Sect.

Especially Fu Xi, who was the Demon Emperor Xi during Emperor Jun’s reign over the Heavenly Court, knows the inner workings of the Heavenly Court like the back of his hand.

Upon hearing this, Fu Xi could not help but shake his head: "Times have changed. The laws set by Emperor Jun may no longer suit the current Heavenly Court!"

"If Daoist friend merely wishes for the Heavenly Court to function, the current manpower should suffice!"

"However, Daoist friend, if you desire the Heavenly Court to exert its influence across the Three Realms and spread throughout all heavens, you will need at least tens of thousands of Golden Immortals and Immortal Gods united in effort."

"I understand that the Daoist Ancestor has granted Yuanshi Tianzun a treasure known as the Investiture of the Gods, which not only entrusts three hundred and sixty-five True Gods of the Celestial Stars but also eight thousand four hundred Deputy Gods. Perhaps you could use this as a basis to define specific powers and responsibilities, as with the four departments of the Thunder Fire Fighting Plague."

In Fu Xi’s opinion, the Thunder Fire Fighting Plague Department is an excellent template, and all Nanji needs to do is to implement more specific powers and responsibilities by the book.

The former Demon Clan, although bearing the name of the Heavenly Court, chiefly focused on conquest, which is not suitable for the current order and rules of the Xuan Sect’s Heavenly Court.

Upon hearing this, Jin Ling Saint Mother slowly spoke: "Previously, I heard Xuanqing say that besides the Thunder Fire Fighting Plague Department, the Heavenly Court should also have a Finance Department, Water Department, Pox Department, Tai Sui Department, as well as Star Constellations, Three Mountains and Five Mountains, Cloud Formation and Rainfall, and the God of Good and Evil!"

"As the mother of all stars, I am in charge of the Dou Department and Star Constellations. In reality, with the Ziwei Emperor Star at the forefront, the authority of the Star Constellations should indeed be delegated."

"These departments, regarding the Finance Department, Xuanqing views it as the responsibility of our Daoist brother Zhao Gongming. As for the Tai Sui Department, it can only pertain to Candle Dragon of the Dragon Clan!"

"The deities of the Three Mountains and Five Mountains are best suited for cultivating the Dao of Earth Immortals. As for Cloud Formation and Rainfall, entrusting it to the Four Seas Dragon Clan is most appropriate!"

"As for other departments that should be established, Xuanqing did not elaborate to me."

Jin Ling Saint Mother thought for a moment, hesitated briefly, then added: "Right, Xuanqing also mentioned that due to Gold Star Taibai’s astuteness, making him responsible for the Heavenly Court’s diplomacy might be an excellent choice!"

Gold Star Taibai is a close minister to Hao Tian, and his relationship with Hao Tian is very intimate; therefore, Nanji has been reluctant to entrust him with important matters during this period.

But now, after hearing what Jin Ling Saint Mother said, Nanji Daoist’s mind opened up, feeling it might be time to add some burdens onto Gold Star Taibai!

Continuing this way, not to mention becoming Heavenly Emperor, he won’t even have time for cultivation!

"No way!"

The more Nanji Daoist thought about it, the angrier he got: "He is only acting as Heavenly Emperor, why should I be running around busy with everything? I should be in seclusion cultivating now!"

Yuanshi Tianzun sent him to the heavens to allow him to cultivate using the fortunes of the Heavenly Court. The current situation was undoubtedly putting the cart before the horse!

However, as Xuanqing was currently in retreat, it wouldn’t be good to disturb him, so he had to look towards Jin Ling Saint Mother: "That’s right! Where is Zhao Gongming now? Please, Jin Ling Daoist, ask him to come up and manage the Finance Department!"

Zhao Gongming is a disciple of Jie Sect; it isn’t his place to overstep his boundaries. As for the Tai Sui Department, he could have Taiyi True Master go to the East Sea and invite Candle Dragon.

"I do not know either!" Jin Ling Saint Mother shook her head and slowly said: "It’s been a while since I last saw Gongming. Xuanqing said that Gongming has a great Merit to achieve, which might allow him to cut off his two corpses in one go. He is probably preparing for that!"

"Great Merit?"

Nanji Daoist was puzzled.

Jin Ling Saint Mother led the repair of the Ancient Starry Sky, and the merit she gained was only enough to cut off two of her corporeal souls. What other merit could allow Zhao Gongming to achieve the same?

"Hahaha!"

At this moment, a hearty laugh resounded: "It’s kind of Sister Jin Ling to mention me. I’m all prepared. May I ask for sister’s assistance?"

Before the echoes of his words faded, a middle-aged cultivator appeared in the Palace of the Polestar. It was indeed the same Zhao Gongming that everyone had mentioned.

In his hand, he held the "Qiankun Ruler," and behind his head, the twenty-four "Ocean Stabilizing Pearls" faintly shimmered, seemingly on the verge of evolving into a Great Thousand Worlds.

"Sister!"

Jin Ling Saint Mother could not help but rejoice, "I wonder how brother wants me to assist you?"

Her curiosity was also piqued; what exactly had Zhao Gongming been doing during the time he was out of sight!

Presently, Zhao Gongming remained at the pinnacle of a Daluo Golden Immortal, yet his aura was condensed to the extreme, ready at any moment to cut off a corpse and step into the realm of a Quasi-Saint.

"Simple!"

Zhao Gongming smiled, "The ultimate number of Heaven is nine. Yet, my teacher and two senior uncles have opened up three great Daluo Heavens above the Nine Layers Heaven! Now that there’s a deficiency in the origin of the Heavenly Dao, it’s time for us, the disciples of the Jie Sect, to step forward and create a new heaven with our Innate Spiritual Treasures, completing the numerical sequence of the Heavenly Gang!"

"With the twenty-four Ocean Stabilizing Pearls in my hand, combined with the Qiankun Ruler, I can open up Twenty-four Heavens. Who else but me is fit for this task?"

"However, in order for my mana to open up Twenty-four Heavens in a single effort, it still falls short. I need sister’s help with the power of the great formation!"

Xuanqing had calculated that adding the Twenty-four Heavens that Zhao Gongming intended to create to the already existing Nine Layers Heaven of the Heavenly Court and the three Daluo Heavens opened by The Three Pure Ones would exactly make up the sequence of Thirty-six Heavens of the Heavenly Gang.

During this time, Zhao Gongming had been consecrating the "Qiankun Ruler" and the twenty-four "Ocean Stabilizing Pearls," as well as contemplating the Dao of creating the heavens and the earth and the Qiankun Great Dao, all in preparation for this day.

"Good!"

Jin Ling Saint Mother suddenly realized and hurriedly brought Zhao Gongming to the midst of the Ancient Starry Sky, enhancing his body with the power of the Celestial Stars Battle Formation.

With the empowerment of the "Celestial Stars Battle Formation," Zhao Gongming’s aura instantly became comparable to the pinnacle of a Quasi-Saint. He raised his "Qiankun Ruler" and the twenty-four "Ocean Stabilizing Pearls," channelling all his mana outward, declaring with a hearty laugh, "Today, let me, Zhao Gongming, recreate a new heaven and using my own Spiritual Treasures to complete the count of the Heavenly Gang!"

"Open the Heavens!"

Following Zhao Gongming’s thunderous shout, infinite mana poured in, and the twenty-four "Ocean Stabilizing Pearls" instantly evolved towards twenty-four directions of the Great Thousand Worlds.

Meanwhile, the "Qiankun Ruler" emitted dazzling divine light, piercing through heaven and earth with the Qiankun Great Dao, transforming into a supreme Divine Bridge connecting the twenty-four Great Thousand Worlds.

Boom!

The Heavenly Dao roared, the Nine Layers Heaven manifested by the Heavenly Dao, along with the Daluo Heavens opened by The Three Pure Ones, instantly merged into a whole with the worlds Zhao Gongming had forged.

In an instant, the power of the Heavenly Dao manifested, and endless Heavenly Dao Merit descended into the celebration clouds above Zhao Gongming.
