At the dome of the new world, Lu Yang sat high above the Cloud Sea. With a slight movement of thought, it instantly transformed into a divine court, blazing like the midday sun, embedding him into the workings of heaven and earth.
Before his eyes, Jade Pavilions, terraces, and palace halls within the divine court opened one after another, reflecting streams of clear light that surged into the heavens and swept up spiritual essence. Within every stream of clear light stood a deity. They now split into trillions upon trillions, pouring down toward every corner of the new world like a torrential downpour.
They were all extensions of Lu Yang's hands and feet.
And once they gained a foothold in the new world, the lineage of the Deification Method spread outward. Lu Yang's awareness followed, and all things between heaven and earth became as clear to him as the lines in his palm.
From the gods and cultivators above.
To the mountains, rivers, grass, and trees below.
Even ordinary mortals, birds, and beasts were now laid bare before Lu Yang's eyes. The vast new world itself seemed no more than a toy in his palm.
"Phew."
Lu Yang exhaled softly. At that moment, among the trillions upon trillions of streams of clear light, four rays shone brightest. They arrived in quick succession and descended beside him.
When the light faded, four figures stepped forth. One had great sleeves billowing, Wisdom Light filling the sky; one stood sword in hand, solemn and dignified; one stood with her hands on her hips, her smile clear and lovely; one kept his hands tucked into his sleeves, his figure ethereal and elusive. Looking closely, they were all Heaven-Treading Realm Great True Lords.
"Patriarch, Master, fellow Daoists."
Lu Yang bowed to Patriarch Tingyou, True Person
