Li Fan had just returned to Grand Unity Palace when he saw Nuwa, Changxi, and Wangshu hurrying over, their faces full of eager anticipation.
Nuwa spoke first, her tone filled with surprise and emotion. "Congratulations to the Heavenly Emperor on attaining Hunyuan! So you weren't an Innate God-Demon after all!"
Changxi's eyes were full of reverence. "I pay my respects to the Heavenly Emperor. A Top-Grade Innate Divine has converted paths. Once the lecture ends, I'll set out for the Netherworld World."
Li Fan smiled. "I have high hopes for you. Nine Netherworlds will emerge into the world in this era."
Changxi abruptly raised her head, delighted. "Really?!"
At the side, Xihe joked, "Heavenly Emperor, you're putting a lot of pressure on us. Even an Innate Divine Being has attained Hunyuan."
There was something else Xihe did not say. The Solar Authority had fallen into the hands of a Reincarnation Innate Divine Being, and the Heavenly Emperor's actions had set a precedent. No one knew what changes this might bring to the Primordial World in the future.
Baili and Nüyi then stepped forward and cupped their hands in unison. "Congratulations, Heavenly Emperor!"
Li Fan gave a slight nod in response.
Goddess Wangshu smiled and teased, "Heavenly Emperor, that's not fair. When did I ever say I wanted to give a lecture? Making decisions for me without permission—you should be punished."
Li Fan said, "Many Grand Unity experts from All Heavens live in seclusion, such as the Zunlu Clan and the Xuxu Clan. There are also powerful members of the hundred races who remain suppressed. We should take this opportunity to meet those Top-Grade Innate Divines."
"As you wish, as you wish," Wangshu replied with a smile.
Goddess Taiyuan looked at everyone and sighed softly. "The eras have changed so quickly.
