After being attacked, Xufeng fell into the Flower Realm's Water Mirror, was saved by Jinmi, and stayed in the Water Mirror for a few days. On the way back to the Heavenly Realm, Xufeng saw the 100,000 Demon Army gathering on the bank of the River of Forgetfulness to attack the Heavenly Realm. His appearance halted the Demon Realm's attack, and he defeated Princess Biancheng in a spar, which convinced her and deterred the Demon Realm.
While His Second Highness the Fire God solved a problem for the Heavenly Realm, it also made the Flower Realm and the Bird Clan have a misunderstanding. Lord Changfang ordered that if the Bird Clan did not hand over the elf taken from the Water Mirror for a day, the Flower Realm would cut off the food of the Bird Clan for a day.
Earlier, in order to appease Tuyao, Taiwei promised that once Xufeng returned safely, he would be appointed as the Crown Prince. When Tuyao heard that Xufeng went to the Demon Realm and made a contribution to the retreat of the enemy alone, she was overjoyed and once again asked about the matter of the appointment of the Crown Prince.
It is a common thing to establish the legitimate son as heir over the eldest son. However, after the incident in the side hall with Runyu, Taiwei began to doubt the motive of Tuyao wanting to make her son the Crown Prince.
Although immortals eventually go through the five declines, the day of dissipating to Heaven and Earth is still much longer than the life of mortals. If Xufeng became the Crown Prince, one day in the future, Taiwei died, the Crown Prince succeeded to the throne, and Tuyao is the Heavenly Empress Dowager. The Fire God is filial. At that time, Tuyao can not only firmly control the power of the Heavenly Realm in the palm of her hand, but also get what she wants and accept the Night God as her forbidden lover. Men can't stand being cuckolded, not to mention that the object of the cuckold is still his son. At that time, he would really have to roll over in his coffin.
Taiwei has just entered middle age, and he is still ambitious and in his prime. If the Crown Prince is decided, the immortals in the Heavenly Realm will inevitably start taking sides, and the situation of sole respect to the Heavenly Emperor will be broken, which is the last thing that Taiwei wants to see. Moreover, in order to realize her long-cherished wish of holding power and a handsome man in both hands, the Heavenly Emperor has to doubt whether Tuyao would still be loyal to him as always.
However, how can the Heavenly Emperor publicly go back on his words? Taiwei did not directly refuse Tuyao's request, but kicked the ball to Xufeng without pain. As far as he knows, Xufeng is not as passionate about power as his mother. Nowadays, the Demon Realm is ambitious and repeatedly tests the bottom line of the Heavenly Realm. Xufeng, the commander of the Five Heavenly Generals' Mansion, is a soldier. In such a sensitive time, it is more important to defend against the enemy; he will never think about being the Crown Prince.
A father always knows his son. Sure enough, Xufeng refused the proposal of his Mother Goddess, saying that he had to hurry to train the troops to cope with the possible conflicts with the Demon Realm. Even if the Heavenly Empress was reluctant, Xufeng did not nod, and this matter could only be put on hold for the time being.
Since Tuyao became the Heavenly Empress, the Bird Clan has grown stronger and stronger, and Yimiaozhou can hardly hold them. In those years, Taiwei wanted to use the power of the Bird Clan to help himself ascend the throne, but now, in truth, he had long wanted to suppress the power of the Bird Clan. To suppress the Heavenly Empress, the Bird Clan, and even Xufeng, the best chess piece to use is the Night God Runyu.

Of course, far away in Xuanji Palace, the Night God did not know he was being arranged as a pawn by his cheap father again.
"Aaaaaaaahhh!" There was a wail in the quiet and peaceful Qizheng Hall of Xuanji Palace. At the small wooden table, the Night God was grumpily grabbing his hair. The duty of the Night God is to hang the stars and moon at night, and at the time when the moon sets, and the sun rises, he will change shifts with the Star Lord in charge of hanging the sun. In the past few days, Luo Yu has basically lived off the work notebook left by Runyu.
According to the rules of the Heavenly Realm, the arrangement of stars should be recorded daily. Everything should be planned, and if it is not planned, the immortal in the position of Night God will be abolished. The Night God Runyu, who loves his job and is dedicated, will generally make a plan a week in advance and write it in the bamboo scroll.
It's not a problem for Luo Yu to memorize the words in the scroll and understand the general meaning, but if he wanted to investigate deeply, it's like climbing Mount Tai. With the seven-day star map left by Runyu, Luo Yu can temporarily complete the task of raising stars for the time being. He flew to the Star Raising Platform and ordered which stars to hang today based on the map to the Star Lord or Star Envoy in charge of that star to raise it into the sky.
The immortals sighed one after another that since His Eldest Highness the Night God was almost forced by the Heavenly Empress and was hurt in the heart, he felt that the world was terrible, so that their sky and stars were in chaos.
Meanwhile, Luo Yu works overtime, forgets to sleep and eat, and desperately makes up for the training of being the Night God on the job. Even in his sleep, he was still reciting the words on the star map. The consequence of focusing too much on one thing is that he doesn't even know that the male lead of this world's sadistic, family-ethics fantasy romance drama, Erfeng, has come back.
