---

The dust begins to settle, and the echoes of thunderous clashes fade into a symphony of victory. The Ruism Holy Man and his Thirteen Tribulation Immortals stand triumphant amidst the battlefield strewn with the defeated remnants of demons. With graceful movements and unwavering determination, they swiftly exterminate the remaining foes, ensuring no trace of their malevolence remains.

As the battlefield transforms into a scene of tranquility, the Ruism Holy Man raises his hand, signaling his disciples to cease their combat. They gather around him, their expressions a mix of exhaustion and elation. "We have prevailed, my disciples! The forces of the Nine Serenities stand vanquished before our might!" he proclaims, his voice carrying the weight of their hard-fought victory.

However, amidst the celebration of their triumph, the members of the Nine Provinces (1) Group find themselves caught in a moment of self-reflection. They glance at each other, a mischievous gleam in their eyes, as they whisper their query, "Did everyone remember to film their battle scenes?"

In a flurry of excited responses, they proudly affirm their preparedness. "Of course! I captured every glorious moment of my battle," one declares with a smirk. Another chimes in, "Indeed! My camera skills were on point, capturing the awe-inspiring display of my divine arts!"

Meanwhile, Zenith Heaven Emperor, revels in the satisfaction of a 'hard-earned' victory. As he surveys the aftermath of the battle, a sly smile tugs at the corners of his lips. With an otherworldly aura that matches his immense power, he retrieves the video material from the cameras he had envisioned at the very start.

In a secluded corner of the battlefield, Zenith Heaven Emperor immerses himself in the spectacle that unfolded before his eyes. With a wave of his hand, the images of the battle materialize, playing out like a captivating movie projected onto the canvas of reality.

As he watches the footage, his eyes widen in amusement and his laughter echoes through the tranquil landscape. "Oh, the sheer audacity! The battles, the drama, the hair-raising moments, even the secret meeting from yesterday! Truly, this is a masterpiece of entertainment!" Zenith Heaven Emperor exclaims, his voice filled with irrepressible mirth.

His eyes flicker with fascination as he watches video material about the Ruism Holy Man's awe-inspiring martial skills and the astounding displays of power from the Thirteen Tribulation Immortals. "Ah, the Ruism Holy Man and his disciples, a formidable force to be reckoned with! Their elegant movements, their harmonious coordination, it is a sight to behold!"

As the videos unfold, Zenith Heaven Emperor cannot help but marvel at the exaggerated reactions and animated expressions of the combatants. The battles that were already epic in their own right now take on a whole new level of grandeur, thanks to the perspective captured by the cameras.

As Zenith Heaven Emperor continues to immerse himself in the video material, he can't help but laugh uproariously at the exaggerated reactions of his own battle captured on film. The battles take on a larger-than-life quality, with each strike, imbued with an irresistible charm.

With a final flourish of the videos, Zenith Heaven Emperor concludes his viewing session. His heart brims with delight, and a mischievous glint dances in his eyes. "Oh, what a spectacle it has been! Battles of epic proportions, laced with humor and camaraderie. This footage shall become a legendary tale for future generations, and it shall become part of this film we are making!"

After reviewing the film material he shot he sends it into the Nine Provinces (1) Group with a message attached stating "My part of the film"

As the members of the Nine Provinces (1) Group receive Zenith Heaven Emperor's message and the accompanying video material, a mix of curiosity, excitement, and surprise fills the air. Each member eagerly clicks on the video link, their anticipation palpable.

First to react is Young Master Phoenix Slayer, his eyes widening in awe. "What... what did I just witness?" he exclaims, his voice filled with a mixture of disbelief and admiration.

Venerable White, always the calm and collected one, watches the footage with a serene smile. "Ah, the power of imagination and creativity. Zenith Heaven Emperor has truly added a unique flair to the battle scenes. It's both entertaining and impressive."

Northern River's Loose Cultivator, known for his laid-back nature, bursts into laughter. "Hahaha! Look at those exaggerated moves! I can't help but chuckle at the way they're fighting. It's like watching a martial arts comedy. Zenith Heaven Emperor sure knows how to bring entertainment to the table!"

Fairy Dongfang Six, a graceful beauty with a mischievous spirit, watches the videos with a twinkle in her eye. "Oh, how delightful! The battles are grand and majestic, yet infused with a touch of humor. It's like a theatrical performance brought to life. Zenith Heaven Emperor's creativity knows no bounds."

Amongst the members, the reactions vary. Some are awestruck by Zenith Heaven Emperor's power, others are amused by the exaggerated scenes. Yet, one sentiment remains constant - the appreciation for Zenith Heaven Emperor's unique contribution to the film. All of them are sure that this additional film material will propel their movie into another league altogether.

Only very few are not satisfied. One of them is Scholar Drunken Moon, although he did his best trying to play the evil commander, at best he will end up as a joke. Especially after that 'Fat Ball' appeared, that really ruined his performance!

Another such person is Soft Feather. She, sits alone in her melancholy. Her heart yearns to have been a part of the battle, to showcase her own prowess and leave her mark on the movie. She can't help but feel a tinge of sadness as she thinks about the time spent with her father, separated from the thrilling action taking place.

Meanwhile, Venerable Spirit Butterfly, true to his nature, succumbs to his daughter complex. "Oh, my darling Soft Feather," he says. Apparently he found her separated from Zenith Heaven Emperor before the battle and kidnapped her to spend some 'quality time' with her 'lonely' father.
