"Master, I want to know who will control the Heavenly Court in the future?"
Tongtian's eyes were extraordinarily calm, yet deep radiance lay hidden within them.
In the prehistoric system he had originally known, the one who controlled the Heavenly Court was Haotian Shangdi, who was actually a boy attendant serving beside Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
