Just as he settled down to cultivate and refine pills, Dong Mugong arrived with a merit-made Lover’s Tree from the Heavenly Court, leaving Li Changshou stunned.

• Li Changshou recalled how Jiang Lin’er had searched the Netherworld and found Wan Jiangyu’s reincarnated body, a tree spirit with some lifespan remaining.

After the Jade Emperor told Li Changshou that a Heavenly Court decree would come in three years, Li Changshou began planning the Sea God’s ascension and the Dragon Clan’s entry into Heaven. Meanwhile, the Jade Emperor encountered Bian Zhuang at the Eastern Heavenly Gate, and preparations for the ceremony began in earnest.
