Above the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain of Yue Sheng Palace, the evening clouds spread across the sky like brocade.
Pangu and Lin Yue stood side by side, gazing down over the Primordial Wilderness. Yesterday's inspection had taken them across the four corners of the world. The scenes of peaceful lives and flourishing creation had left an indelible mark on Pangu's mind, lingering long after.

Pangu's voice was deep and weathered, carrying a trace of the weariness of Creation of Heaven and Earth, yet filled with comfort. "Now, it seems my wish has finally come true."
Lin Yue nodded slightly. His gaze rested on the rolling mountain ranges and the vast, mist-shrouded rivers below. "Senior nourished the Primordial Wilderness with your own blood and bones and suppressed the Chaos Remnant with your soul, laying the foundation for the Primordial Wilderness. I merely followed in your footsteps and protected this world, so all spirits could live in peace."
"The way of protection is beyond those without great perseverance and great Merit." Pangu turned his head toward Lin Yue, his eyes full of approval. "You attained sainthood through five Great Daos, broke the Primordial Wilderness's established order of Saints, kept the Western Teachings in check, revived a remnant of my soul, and protected the Primordial Myriad Spirits. Your achievements are worthy of being recorded in the annals of the Primordial Wilderness, on a par with Heaven Opening Merit."
