In this chapter, we learn that the only way to know if a person is a cultivator or a leader is to see if he or she has a flower after his or her divine retribution. In other words, if you have a flower in heaven after your divine retribution, it means that you're a leader and you have the potential to become a god or a god-like being. This is the first time we've heard of a person having a flower during a divine retribution and it's pretty amazing. The narrator compares this to how du gong had a flower before his divine retribution in the sea realm. Du gong had three flowers before, which was the first big divine retribution he'd ever had. Now he's got a flower that's even bigger and better than his first three. Du says that maybe the upper worlds will agree to help repair the tunnel if the narrator says something nice about it. Du chimes in that maybe they'll help if they put in a little bit of good word for the world. Du suggests that the narrator go talk to Luo zheng about this. He's not on his best terms with him, but he'll be okay with it.
