"Alright, everyone's here, right?"
After Chen Mu returned all the magical treasures to the Great Luo present, Heavenly Dao Nüwa appeared in the courtyard as well. She swept her gaze around and asked softly.
"They should all be here."
The Jade Emperor replied quietly.
After all, with something this huge, how could anyone be absent?
The Jade Emperor's face glowed red as he excitedly rubbed his hands together. After looking around and realizing that he was the only one acting so excitedly, which was rather damaging to his imperial dignity, he forcibly suppressed his excitement and resumed his usual composed expression.
The Jade Emperor was not wrong to think so. Who would miss something as monumental as becoming a Saint?
Only a fool would miss something so major. No one would even want to miss watching it. Were Yuanshi Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun, and the two from the Western Religion not all eagerly waiting, filled with curiosity?
There were many people standing in the courtyard now. Apart from the Jade Emperor, the Three Pure Ones and the two from the Western Religion were all present. Lord Lao, the incarnation Daode Tianzun had previously separated out, stood properly behind Daode Tianzun as well.
Becoming a Saint—this was the first such event since heaven and earth had been created! Who would want to miss something like this?
Well, Nüwa's previous case did not count.
"The Saint candidates chosen yesterday, step forward."
Nüwa did not say much else and spoke calmly.
Daode Tianzun and the Jade Emperor stepped forward at the same time. Daode Tianzun remained as indifferent as ever. He had always followed the path of nonaction, maintaining an untroubled air in many situations. The Jade Emperor, however, was nowhere near as calm, his face flushed red with obvious excitement.
Wait, weren't there
