Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, one epoch had passed, and new storms were already brewing. The Grand Unity Assembly, awaited eagerly by all gods and myriad immortals, officially opened at the Grand Unity Divine Palace!
The Grand Unity Palace floated above the boundless Sea of Clouds, its magnificent halls stretching on for countless miles.
The glazed golden tiles atop the halls reflected hundreds of millions of streams of auspicious radiance beneath the eternal sunlight of the Sun God.
The long white jade staircase that descended from the palace gates into the depths of the clouds had Great Dao maxims inscribed upon every step. Illuminated by divine light, it shone crystal-clear, like a path to godhood leading to the Great Dao Origin.
Rows upon rows of heavenly soldiers in golden armor stood solemnly on either side of the staircase, halberds in hand, their bodies ramrod straight and divine light contained within.
In their most flawless and imposing bearing, they silently welcomed the Great Luo beings who had gathered here from the Prehistoric Universe and countless realms.
The gods appeared at the foot of the staircase, approaching alone on foot.
They restrained the power that could normally shake all living things and stepped onto the Jade Steps one after another.
Their footsteps rang clear and far upon the divine jade. With every step upward, they drew closer to the supreme majesty of the Heavenly Emperor. Invisible pressure and glory filled every god's heart.
The entire process was solemn and silent, accompanied only by the Great Dao Resonant Sound in the unseen depths.
At the head of the procession, three vast phenomena of clear light, jade light, and mysterious light descended. The Three Pure Ones had arrived.
Taishang remained expressionless, as though the Heavenly Dao itself were without emotion.
