This journey was much smoother, encountering no ambushes along the way. After over twenty days and traversing several Star Gates, they finally arrived at the ferry crossing of the Western Heaven Swing in the Heavenly Court.
Chen Shi and Little Dun disembarked from the Star Shuttle, only to see the Western Heaven Swing was empty, without a single Heavenly Soldier or General. — King Li originally had a remaining force of a hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, but they were all in the Mud Great World, guarding numerous Heavenly Dao Divine People, not having returned to the Heavenly Court.
Chen Shi invited out King Li, and politely said, "Thank you, dear friend, for escorting us all the way."
King Li also politely responded, "Not at all. I feel uneasy for not being able to achieve anything along the journey, and instead have troubled the Heavenly King for so long. Now that we've returned to the Heavenly Court, why don't we go together to report to the Jade Emperor?"
