The time of duty for Chen God eventually passed.
Before the changeover, Yibai returned to heaven with several Yuan Chen.
Yibai completed the handover with the Serpent Demon of the Si God.
The spirit officials did not return to heaven, for the unrest in the world was yet to end, so they remained in the Mortal Realm to prevent Demons from raging too fiercely.
...
Riding on the auspicious clouds, Yibai flew back to heaven.
Standing amid the clouds, he felt immense gratitude towards the Yuan Chen who had aided him.
"I am indebted to all four of you for your assistance this time. Should you need my help in the future, feel free to ask," Yibai said.
What are you saying, Chen God? It's good enough that we could be of help to you."
"True Dragon, what relationship do we have that requires such thanks?"
All four Yuan Chen waved their hands dismissively.
Yibai smiled and struck up a conversation with the four Yuan Chen.
