Nine-Headed Insect and the Ten Thousand Saints Princess bid farewell to Uchiha Shin and set out for the Western Ox-He Continent.
In the High Heaven Hall, Uchiha Shin and the others received the Jade Emperor's rewards.
The Jade Emperor bestowed many things upon Marshal Canopy, then increased his forces, bringing his Heavenly River Navy up to two hundred thousand troops.
Curtain-Rolling General was also rewarded and became a true orthodox god.
As for Uchiha Shin, the Jade Emperor appointed him Zhengyuan General.
At the same time, he also bestowed quite a bit of treasure upon him.
Uchiha Shin merely smiled. The position of Zhengyuan General was acceptable enough.
"Great Sage Equaling Heaven Goku, you have also rendered meritorious service in this battle. Besides rewarding you with treasures, I appoint you as the manager of the Peach Orchard, with full responsibility over the entire orchard," the Jade Emperor said with a smile.
Once these words were spoken, everyone in the High Heaven Hall was astonished. Was this really a good idea? Letting a monkey manage peaches—wasn't he afraid the monkey would eat them all?
But since the Jade Emperor had said so, no one dared say anything further.
The others each received their own rewards as well, so there was no need to elaborate.
After returning to his residence, the Jade Emperor summoned Marshal Canopy.
"Canopy, there is no need for such formalities. It is only the two of us here," the Jade Emperor said with a smile, gesturing for Marshal Canopy to sit beside him.
"Canopy, in my time of peril, you never abandoned me. You remained steadfast to the end, which greatly comforts me. Now, in the entire Three Realms, only you and the Barefoot Immortal are truly my confidants."
The Jade Emperor looked at Marshal Canopy and continued.
