On the Ancestral Worship and King Conferment Platform, the many Divine Saints of the Divine Wilderness Human Race clasped their hands in congratulations.
Gu Shaoshang returned the gesture and stepped forward.
"Holy King Pan, step forward and worship the ancestors."
The white-haired High Priest, stooped in figure, held a thick stick of Spirit Incense as he walked before Gu Shaoshang.
This old man appeared utterly ordinary, without the slightest hint of majesty, just like any common elder.
At a glance, he could tell that this High Priest's Dao injury was extremely severe.
An injury to the Great Dao meant that one's very foundation of Dao had been struck, its roots shaken by an enemy's Dao.
Such injuries were difficult to heal.
"Yes."
Gu Shaoshang nodded. Under the High Priest's guidance, he lit the stick of Spirit Incense and inserted it into the Bronze Cauldron atop the altar.

Amid the curling smoke, a strand of golden light appeared. Within it, a vast Divine World could be seen flickering in and out of view.
A golden sun shone within it.
Faintly, Gu Shaoshang seemed to sense an unusual glimmer.
It was as though someone had looked at him from across time and space.
Yet the sensation vanished in an instant, impossible to grasp even with his current perception.
This was not the time to investigate. Gu Shaoshang merely noted it in his heart.
The king conferment ritual was unexpectedly simple. He offered a stick of incense and bowed three times, and it was complete.
Afterward, the Human Emperor stepped forward before the crowd and removed a Tassel Bead from his crown.
The Tassel Bead was only the size of an ordinary person's fingertip, yet mountains and rivers faintly flowed across it, suns and moons rose and fell, the Sea of Stars
