Lu Bai raised an eyebrow.
"Are you telling me what to do?"
The white-bearded old man on Great Immortal Lord's spirit tablet looked visibly stunned.
After a moment of silence, he advised earnestly, "Mr. Bai, the position of temple god is not one to treat lightly."
After all, Lu Bai was indeed strong enough, and he held the Four Immortal Lotuses. Whether these immortals approved or not, they had no choice but to accept him.
But if they replaced him with someone new so soon, the immortals would find it hard to accept.
"Is there a rule that says a temple god can't retire?"
"Well..."
Great Immortal Lord had the feeling Lu Bai was just being unreasonable.
The Four Great Sects' incense system had only ever produced one legendary incense leader, Grandmother Wang San. There was no precedent for retirement.
Lu Bai spread his hands. "There you have it."
After Great Growth Immortal and Great White Immortal made it clear they agreed, they said no more.
Whatever happened, even if another temple god took over, they wouldn't be dismissed.
The spirit tablet at Great Yellow Immortal's place remained silent throughout, clearly content to follow the majority.
The only one with any reservations was Great Immortal Lord.
Strictly speaking, though, he was only reluctant because he was so pleased with Lu Bai as the new temple god and didn't want any more changes.
"All right, that's settled. Get ready for the Open Top ceremony."
With that, Lu Bai stood and led Wang Shu out of the hall before they could respond.
Chang Shengtian, Lord Bai the Fourteenth, and Second Young Master Hu were waiting outside. When the two emerged, Second Young Master Hu hurried over.
"How did it go? What did the immortals say?"
Since these immortals had accepted Wang Shu
