He Alone Reigned Supreme Above Heaven and Below

A magnificent palace stood there.

It was perched atop the highest heavens, connected to a ten-thousand-meter staircase of clouds and shrouded in auspicious light that stretched for ten thousand miles.

Inside, golden bricks paved the floor, white jade formed the walls, and the jade towers and celestial palaces were too numerous to count.

It towered like a mountain of white jade and was as splendid as a piece of heavenly jasper.

On both sides.

Stood densely packed ranks of divine officials.

From back to front, their ranks grew higher, while the number of people standing there dwindled from the dense crowds at the beginning to only a sparse few.

At the very front.

There were no more than a dozen people standing there in total.

Among them.

The lowest-ranked were all Rank 1 Deities.

The two leaders stood at the front. One wore a purple robe, with a cloak concealing his face.

The other wore green robes. She was gentle and beautiful, with graceful bearing that made others feel as though they were bathing in a spring breeze.

Above these two.

Stretched a long, long flight of stairs.

And atop the stairs.

Sat a man reclining lazily, handsome to the extreme.

Excessively handsome men often appeared feminine and lacked majesty.

Yet that saying did not apply to this man at all.

He leaned loosely against the Divine Emperor's throne behind him. His Crimson Maple Color hair, burning like flames, was simply tied back, while his handsome face also carried a masculine air. His features were sharply defined, and he possessed an imposing dignity that brooked no offense.

His gaze was sometimes as brilliant as the stars, making people fall for him at a glance; at other times, it was as tranquil as an abyss, making people dare not look directly
