• It belongs to the Time-Space Trio, a set whose complete hidden attribute is the ability to control time and space.

Character Development

Chapter Summary: “It Was Time to Spend!”

Key Plot Points and Events

• The power of long-term strategy: Qin Fen’s layered plans—political alliances, education, culture, commerce, and public influence—are converging into an unstoppable force.
• Shifting loyalties and political upheaval: Lord Lao’s defection destroys the Jade Emperor’s strategic advantage and signals the collapse of the old power structure.
• Reputation and influence: The fashion show becomes a political and social event because Qin Fen has transformed Haitian’s clothing business into a widespread cultural phenomenon.
• Fate versus planning: Qin Fen carefully orchestrates events, yet the sudden appearance of the Red Threads suggests that fate and romantic forces may be operating beyond anyone’s control.
• Romantic misunderstanding and comedic tension: The chapter repeatedly contrasts Qin Fen’s serious political maneuvering with the ridiculous rumors about his relationship with the Queen Mother.
• Unity across factions: Powerful figures from the Heavenly Court, Spirit Mountain, the Earthly Immortal Realm, and the Underworld gather together, showing the formation of an unprecedented coalition.

Character Interactions

• Qin Fen and the Queen Mother share an awkward, emotionally charged exchange when he calls the guests “one of our own.”

• Lord Lao, Matchmaker Yue, Guanyin, Ksitigarbha, and Yan Emperor discuss and praise the scope of Qin Fen’s plans.
• The Jade Emperor and his allies react with disbelief and despair to Lord Lao’s appearance.
• Matchmaker Yue becomes the focus of suspicion when Red Threads cover the venue, though he insists he did not create them.
• The chapter ends with all factions staring at the mysterious romantic phenomenon, suggesting that the fashion show is about to become something far more chaotic and significant than planned.

As Qin Fen’s fashion show unexpectedly sparked matchmaking across the Heavenly Court, Lord Lao and the other mighty figures realized that the resulting romantic bonds aligned with the Heavenly Dao and could not be opposed. Just as Matchmaker Yue received a golden light, black clouds gathered over the square, and Lord Lao recognized them as the Investiture of the Gods.

• Matchmaker Yue explained that Qin Fen’s preparations had built momentum, bringing young people from Chanjiao and Jiejiao together and awakening romantic feelings.
• Lord Lao and Zhen Yuanzi concluded that the new bonds had the Heavenly Dao’s support and that even the Three Pure Ones would not obstruct Qin Fen’s efforts.
• Qin Fen realized that Karma had unexpectedly linked his actions into a matchmaking conference, though he had only meant to organize a fashion show.
• The Jade Emperor and Ziwei accepted that they could not fight the Heavenly Dao’s will, while the Queen Mother was pleased by Qin Fen’s efforts.
• Matchmaker Yue pointed out the descending clouds and was struck by a shaft of golden light; then black clouds covered the square, and Lord Lao identified them as the Investiture of the Gods.

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• An unprecedented tribulation suddenly covers the Moon Palace. Its pressure surpasses ordinary Heavenly Immortal and Golden Immortal Tribulations and approaches the level of a True Self Tribulation, but its lightning is golden rather than the usual purple.
• The immortals are confused and alarmed. Li Jing panics immediately because of his past trauma with tribulations, while Lü Dongbin, the Eight Immortals, the Star Lords, and the Bodhisattvas try to identify the phenomenon.
• Lord Lao and Mount Li Old Mother recognize that the event is connected to the ancient Deifying Tribulation, though even the others—including the Three Imperial Lords—do not understand what is happening.
• Two golden beams descend from the sky, striking Matchmaker Yue and the newly ascended Hu Xiaojing. Hu Xiaojing is lifted by Merit Golden Light and connected directly to the golden tribulation clouds.
• The immortals are incredulous that Hu Xiaojing, who has only recently ascended and is not even a Heavenly Immortal, could be undergoing such a powerful tribulation.
• Sun Monkey presses Lord Lao for an explanation, briefly trying to touch his Purple Gold Gourd before being stopped.
• Lord Lao explains that the phenomenon is not merely a lightning tribulation. It is an ancient Heavenly Dao bestowal, or Deifying Tribulation, used to test individuals without established backgrounds who possess extraordinary opportunity, perseverance, and potential.
• Unlike the karmic Investiture of the Gods, which grants established divine offices, this process requires the candidate to comprehend a law of Heaven and Earth. Mastering such a law is a prerequisite for eventually reaching the Saint realm.
• Since all existing divine offices are already occupied, creating a new position requires discovering a completely new law—something considered nearly impossible.
• The Heavenly Dao then announces that Hu Xiaojing has completed a new law and brought fortune to living beings. It attempts to name her office repeatedly as “Deifying Matchmaker,” but its announcement breaks down into repeated words and questions about the divine office.
• The chapter ends with everyone realizing that the Heavenly Dao has apparently malfunctioned or “glitched” again.

Character Developments

• Hu Xiaojing is revealed to possess extraordinary potential. Despite being a newcomer with a low cultivation realm, she has comprehended a unique law and is on the path to receiving a completely new divine office.
• Matchmaker Yue is unexpectedly implicated in the heavenly transformation, suggesting that her role in marriage and connections is being elevated into something far more significant.
• Lord Lao demonstrates rare knowledge of ancient Heavenly Dao practices and clarifies the distinction between ordinary immortal advancement, karmic investiture, and true heavenly deification.
• Li Jing remains comically fearful of tribulations, immediately assuming the worst and worrying that he may be dragged into another dangerous event.
• Sun Monkey displays his usual impatience and curiosity, pestering Lord Lao for answers and adding humor to the tense gathering.
• The assembled immortals and Quasi-Saints are humbled by the revelation that even they have not accomplished what Hu Xiaojing has achieved.

Significant Themes

• Extraordinary opportunity and destiny: Hu Xiaojing’s sudden rise demonstrates that background and current cultivation do not necessarily determine one’s ultimate potential.
• Heavenly trials and worthiness: The Deifying Tribulation tests not merely strength but resolve, perseverance, and Dao Heart before granting immense responsibility.
• Limits of established order: The Investiture of the Gods has filled all conventional divine positions, so progress now requires creating something entirely new.
• Innovation versus tradition: Hu Xiaojing’s new law challenges the existing structure of Heaven and suggests that the Heavenly Dao itself must adapt.
• Divine bureaucracy and absurdity: The solemn heavenly process becomes humorous when the Heavenly Dao glitches while trying to assign Hu Xiaojing’s office.

Character Interactions

• Li Jing repeatedly reacts nervously to the tribulation, while others attempt to calm him and interpret the event.
• Sun Monkey interrupts Lord Lao’s explanation and mischievously reaches for his gourd, prompting Lord Lao to defend his pills.
• Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady questions Lord Lao’s explanation by comparing Hu Xiaojing’s situation to Erlang God and Queen Mother, leading to a clarification of how different figures received their divine status.
• Lord Lao educates the gathered immortals, including the Three Imperial Lords and the Bodhisattvas, who are visibly shocked by Hu Xiaojing’s unprecedented achievement.
• The entire heavenly assembly watches in stunned silence as the Heavenly Dao recognizes Hu Xiaojing and Matchmaker Yue, only to malfunction while defining the new divine office.

The Heavenly Dao struggled to assign Hu Xiaojing a divine office after she completed a law shared with Matchmaker Yue, because Qin Fen had disrupted its intended plan by giving her Cupid's Bow and Arrows. The tribulation clouds dispersed, then formed enormous eyes that cursed Qin Fen and plunged the Heavenly Court into chaos.

• The immortals watched as the Heavenly Dao stalled while announcing Hu Xiaojing's divine office, and Ziwei and the Yellow Emperor realized it was in a bind.
• The Jade Emperor and Lord Lao explained that Hu Xiaojing's new law overlapped with Matchmaker Yue's office, leaving the Heavenly Dao no available post to give her.
• Qin Fen realized that giving Hu Xiaojing Cupid's Bow and Arrows had disrupted the Heavenly Dao's plan and forced it to reward her alongside Matchmaker Yue.
• The Heavenly Dao's announcement continued until the tribulation clouds dispersed without a lightning tribulation.
• The clouds became enormous eyes that cursed Qin Fen, throwing the Heavenly Court into chaos.

The Heavenly Dao erupted in human cursing after Qin Fen’s actions left it unable to enforce its earlier decree. The immortals realized Qin Fen had exploited a loophole, and the chapter ended with the Heavenly Dao raging because its own rules made him difficult to punish.

• The Heavenly Dao cursed, leaving the immortals across the realms stunned and wondering who had provoked it.
• Primordial Lord and Tongtian concluded that the Heavenly Dao showed its true, humanized nature when its system could not resolve a problem, and they suspected Qin Fen was Dongwang Gong’s real name.
• The Queen Mother, Yan Emperor, and others struggled to understand the crisis, while the Jade Emperor recalled the Heavenly Dao’s decree that Lu Pan’s altered divine office would be an exception with no next time.
• The immortals realized Qin Fen had disrupted the Heavenly Dao’s decree by helping Hu Xiaojing attain a divine office, though the Heavenly Dao’s own rules and Qin Fen’s Moonlight Box made him difficult to punish.
• Hu Xiaojing tried to take responsibility, but the Heavenly Dao concluded that Qin Fen’s actions counted as Heavenly Will and cursed again in frustration.
