Summoning the Gods: Start by creating the Eternal Night.

"What the hell……"

Ye Junlin was stunned after reading it, and after a long while, he was both amused and exasperated.

"Born at the peak of a terrestrial immortal? So I'm not even as good as a newly hatched beast cub?"

[Host, there's no need to be discouraged; it's just a difference in racial talents.]

It is nurtured by spiritual energy in this realm and can only reach the peak of a terrestrial immortal.

If a divine beast is nurtured by celestial energy, it is born at the level of an immortal.

"Your attempt at comfort is worse than no comfort at all."

Ye Junlin was speechless; those words sounded more like a blow.

At this moment, even the Black Emperor was shocked by the little Qilin's overwhelming power:

"This little thing... it seems more powerful than me?"

Ah Qing, holding the little Qilin, looked at the Black Emperor and teased:

"Hehe~! Little Black, it is indeed more powerful than you. It has the cultivation of a peak terrestrial immortal."

As someone at the Shattered Void Realm, she sensed the pressure emanating from the little Qilin.

Black Emperor's face fell: "Hmph! I just haven't recovered my cultivation yet. Otherwise, it wouldn't be stronger than me."

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it," Aqing continued to tease it, "Anyway, it's better than you now."

The little Qilin also raised its chin and looked at the Black Emperor with its silly and cute eyes, as if to say: See, I'm more powerful than you.

The Black Emperor was quite taken aback, muttering to himself:

"This won't do. If we can't even beat this little thing, how can we take it as our follower?"

He immediately shouted:

"I'm going into seclusion now! Goodbye!"

He turned around and ran towards the Time Tower.

Ye Junlin watched the Black Emperor's retreating figure, shook his head, and smiled.

"This Black Emperor is quite competitive."

Holding the little Qilin, Aqing asked with a smile:

"Your Majesty, please give it a name."

The little Qilin understood human speech and looked at Ye Junlin expectantly.

Ye Junlin thought for a moment, deciding that the name should have the nobility of a Qilin, be suitable for a cub, and also be able to maintain its domineering presence later on.

"Let's call him Lin Jiuchen, and his nickname is Xiao Jiu."

"Lin Jiuchen, Xiao Jiu," Aqing read it aloud, "Hmm, that sounds nice."

Then he bent down and poked the little guy's fluffy fur in his arms.

"From today onwards, I'll call you Xiao Jiu. When you grow up, I'll call you Lin Jiu Chen."

Little Qilin was very satisfied with the name and wanted to associate itself with Ye Junlin.

Ye Junlin reached out and stroked its head. The little Qilin squinted its eyes, looking completely content.

Ye Junlin stopped what he was doing: "Alright, Aqing, take it to wash up, and then continue taking care of it."

"If it wants to come find me, bring it with you."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Aqing responded, and Ye Junlin's figure instantly disappeared from the spot; he had no intention of taking care of this little thing.

When Xiao Jiu saw that its master had suddenly disappeared, it panicked and struggled incessantly in A Qing's arms, its cries filled with panic.

Aqing quickly and gently patted its back, softly comforting it:

"Little Jiu, it's not that Master doesn't want you, it's just that he wants me to take you for a bath."

I'll find you some delicious food so you can grow up quickly and see your owner more often.

After hearing what Aqing said, Xiao Jiu gradually calmed down and rubbed her little head against Aqing's chest.

Previously, Aqing had been infusing the eggshell with the essence of spiritual medicine every day, and it was already familiar with her aura. It was the person it relied on the most besides Ye Junlin.

Holding Xiao Jiu in her arms, A Qing happily walked into the hall.

……

Beyond the Eternal Night Space, in the Tianzhou region.

The outline of a city under construction is already visible, and the construction site is bustling with activity.

The cultivators used their spiritual power to move the giant stones, while the mortal craftsmen polished the city bricks, creating a busy scene.

In a newly completed pavilion in the city, Cao Zhengchun was slowly sipping tea while looking out at the scenery.

The door creaked open, and Shangguan Lie and Nangong Gong walked in.

"Brother Cao."

Cao Zhengchun raised his eyes: "Sit."

Shangguan Lie and Nangong Gong were not polite either.

The two of them have been spending a lot of time with Cao Zhengchun lately, busy with city construction.

They gradually became more and more familiar with each other and started calling each other brothers.

Shangguan Lie sat down in a chair and took a sip of tea:

"Brother Cao, we've taken a look, and this city should be completed in less than seven days."

"Oh?" Cao Zhengchun was somewhat surprised. "So fast? I remember that according to the previous schedule, it would have taken another half month."

Nangong Gong smiled and replied, "That's right, according to the previous estimate, it would indeed take half a month."

"However, recently a large wave of people has joined in building the city."

"In addition, the Linglong Chamber of Commerce also sent another group of skilled craftsmen, which naturally sped up the progress."

"I see." Cao Zhengchun nodded. "It's good that it's finished sooner, so I can go back to serve the monarch sooner."

Shangguan Lie and Nangong Gong had recently heard the word "monarch" from Cao Zhengchun several times.

But I know not to ask questions I shouldn't. I'm not at the level where I can get close to those kinds of people.

Shangguan Lie then remembered something else: "By the way, Brother Cao, this new city is almost finished, has the name been decided yet?"

"Not yet. I'll go back and ask the monarch later; naturally, the monarch should bestow a name upon this new city."

"That's how it should be!" Shangguan Lie and Nangong Gong said in unison.

"Then we'll wait for His Majesty to bestow a name upon us before we begin building the city gate."

Just then, a rogue walked in and whispered a few words in Cao Zhengchun's ear.

After listening, Cao Zhengchun frowned almost imperceptibly and waved his hand:

"Got it. Just keep an eye on things."

"yes!"

The thug responded and left.

"What's wrong?" Shangguan Lie asked.

"It's nothing, just a minor inconvenience." Cao Zhengchun stood up. "I'll go back first. You two keep an eye on things."

Shangguan Lie and his companion clasped their hands in a fist salute: "Brother Cao, rest assured."

Cao Zhengchun nodded, got up and walked to a secluded spot. He touched his forehead with his fingertip, and using the coordinate mark in his sea of ​​consciousness, his figure disappeared in a flash.

……

A moment later,

Eternal Night Space, Monarch's Palace.

"My lord, the city should be completed in about seven more days."

Cao Zhengchun personally reported this.

Ye Junlin raised his eyes upon hearing this: "Hmm, faster than expected, well done!"

Cao Zhengchun then recounted the addition of new personnel and the craftsmen dispatched by the Star Pavilion, adding at the end:

"We humbly request Your Majesty to bestow a name upon the new city."

Ye Junlin thought for a moment.

If one day Yongyetian leaves this world, he must leave some trace.

Why not just name it Eternal Night, as a mark of Eternal Night's existence?

"Let's call it Eternal Night City."

"Yes," Cao Zhengchun replied. "Then I will have the city gate built shortly."

"By the way, Your Majesty, there is one more thing."

"The Bad Guys have reported that many monks from Wanfo Temple have recently appeared in Tianzhou. They are secretly spreading rumors that our Yongyetian is an evil force."

Ye Junlin raised an eyebrow: "A bunch of bald monks, always looking for trouble."

"Let the Bad Guys keep an eye on them, find an opportunity to make them violate the rule that violence is forbidden within Tianzhou, and then wipe them out legitimately."

"Yes, this old servant will arrange it immediately."

Ye Junlin waved his hand, and Cao Zhengchun bowed and withdrew.

"These monks are probably more than just spreading rumors."

Ye Junlin stroked his chin.

"Eternal Night City is almost complete. Their sudden appearance now is probably an attempt to cause trouble, isn't it?"

"I wonder how Gangzi's investigation went?"
