After Tengir slew Inverted-One, the body of Inverted-One turned into black sludge that seeped into the ground, and because his body was so massive, a great pile of it was formed that took several hours to fully seep into the ground. But by that time an illness was deep inside the Earth that was causing it to lose its color, and Tengir's land was in danger of being destroyed. Water and fire spit out of the ground in geysers fifty fathoms tall and swirling black clouds arrayed themselves in unnatural shapes in the sky above, hurling lightning, hailstones and tornadoes to the surface.
Tengir cast his gaze from atop the sky-scraping podium of the Temple of Heaven and saw that the divine boundary protecting his land and his body was fracturing. He stamped the wooden floor with the Great Staff in his right hand, and his eye fell to the Lake that lay just beyond the outskirts of the settled lands. The hall of grass and reeds was still standing beside it. He recalled that night many years ago when he slept on the bank of that lake and met the Spirit of the Lake for the first time, who was the first one to tell him of his Heaven-appointed mission. He spoke thus to his crying heart: "It does not end here." And he turned over the palm of his hand and caused the banks of the lake to grow lengthwise. The water from the ground and the sky filled in the extra space as it opened up, and the lake began to expand and rise. The land rose with the lake. He continued causing the lake to grow until it surrounded the land, and was no longer a lake, but a sea. Tengir's land along with all the lands inhabited by Tengir's immediate family thereupon were rarefied until they consisted of seven islands, with Tengir's island standing in the middle of them all. All the land beyond was pushed away to the outskirts of existence, and did not rise. The lake which was now a sea he rarefied too, until it changed from dark blue to light blue. Since those parts of land and sea were now rarefied, all the impure matter, including the black sludge that had seeped underground, fell down and separated from the new plane, which Tengir named at that moment the Isles of Heaven. The dark clouds in the sky above then dumped all their moisture onto the new plane and washed everything with enough rain to cause a decade-long flood, but there was no flood, because the water instead ran off into the light sea, dispersing everywhere on the new horizon. After that, the clouds dispersed and the sun shined once again. When the light returned, Tengir saw a New Earth open up beneath the Isles of Heaven.
That was the end of the Second World and the beginning of the Third. After carrying out the transmigration and reestablishing the divine boundary, Tengir noticed that his body was covered in wounds and his robes were soaked in blood. No sooner did he notice this than he lost consciousness and collapsed, tumbling down the stairs of the Temple of Heaven. But his wife Divine-Stream-Princess was there at the bottom surrounded by the other members of his house, and they rushed him back to the Perennial Estate where they dressed his wounds and gave him divine medicine made from the plants that grew in the garden of the Estate. While he was sick, he laid motionless in his bed as though dead, but he was not dead. After he regained consciousness, he left the Perennial Estate and went to the sacred sealed grove in the Fields of Purity, where he removed his bandages and garments and bathed, washing away all the impurities that had been choking his body and spirit. When he was finished, all the wounds were gone and the full color of youth returned to his skin.
After purifying himself, Tengir announced to all his retainers and to all the members of his house as follows: "Behold, the world is reborn and so am I. And as it is reborn, so it grows, and so do I grow, and my house grows and will continue to grow. For that reason, I have decided to cause a new island to rise out of the light sea where I will build a new palace, so as not to expand the Estate which is already here and so spoil the surrounding natural landscape." So saying, he flew to the south of the main island and with a wave of his hand caused a new island to rise out of the sea which was one-tenth the size of the main island. He covered it in nothing but tall grasses, ferns and flowers. He then went to the center of the new island and, after consecrating it with an animal sacrifice, arranged walls into courtyards and colonnades, then set houses amid these to form a compound that was eight times the size of the Perennial Estate. There he allotted apartments for himself, his wife, his concubines and all of his children up to three generations, and smaller quarters for his close retainers and friends. He also created buildings which served as storehouses, baths, shrines, kitchens, libraries and so on. The palace was named the Cloud Palace. Once it was finished, he made a decree that no one else was allowed to build a house on that island, but if anyone wanted to stay there for any amount of time or for any reason, he had to pitch a tent, which must be taken down on his departure. The new island was connected to the main island by a red timber bridge.
It was around that time that Tengir learned the greater divine technique of True Bilocation. This technique, when activated, allowed him to exist in two places simultaneously, as opposed to the lesser divine technique known as Bilocation, which merely creates the illusion of being in two places at once.
The last thing to happen that involved the consecration of the new Heaven and the New Earth was the coming ashore of a small canopied boat made of reeds upon the new palatial island Tengir had just caused to rise out of the light sea. There was a silken bed on the canopied boat that was coated in thick embroidered sheets, and in the bed a maiden of spirit was sleeping motionless. After the boat came ashore, a clap of thunder rolled in from some unknown location and woke her. She sat up in the bed. Tengir immediately intuited the presence of the boat, and commanded some very strong servants of his to lift the boat and carry it into one of the empty courtyards at the back of the Cloud Palace. Once the retainers had done so, the maiden rose to her feet and stepped out of the canopied boat and into the courtyard. She was wearing a six-layered robe with dark violet on the outside, and a white shawl was over her head. There and then, Tengir took her hand into his and repeated the ritual of divine marriage, circumambulating the pillar standing in the middle of the courtyard. Her name was Divine-Sunflower-Princess, and Tengir made her his second wife. By doing so, the link between the Isles of Heaven, in which the Old World's essence remained, and the New Earth was forged, for Divine-Sunflower-Princess was the goddess of the New Earth, but her heart was one with Divine-Stream-Princess.
When Tengir slept with Divine-Sunflower-Princess that night, the Heavens rested peacefully with the New Earth, and a new moon hung overhead. When the day dawned, the Earth was baptized by the replenished sunlight. For the sun itself had been rejuvenated.
