The earliest Great Mu imperial palace was named "Godson Palace."
In the language of the gods, it meant "son of god."
The lord of Godson Palace was forever blessed by divine grace—a son of god, holding worldly power on behalf of the Cangtu God.
Later, during the reign of Emperor Mu Wei, Helian Renrui, Godson Palace was unexpectedly consumed by a fire, destroyed overnight. There were countless theories as to its cause: an attack by a Heavenly Demon, divine arts running out of control, traitors stirring rebellion within...
The only thing clear was that the Mu court rebuilt the imperial palace atop the ruins and renamed it "Fair Land Palace."
"Fair Land Palace" was a grassland term, meaning "a place of justice."
In Dao Language, its name was rendered as "Sacred Balance Palace."
The grassland language had formed under the influence of the divine language, but it had long since become very different from it. It was the ordinary language used in the daily lives of common herdsmen. It represented the herdsmen more than it did believers of the gods.
To display the nation's might and demonstrate its strength, Emperor Mu Wei threw open the treasury during the construction of Fair Land Palace. He mobilized two hundred thousand laborers and ten thousand transcendent cultivators, raising this magnificent palace in seven days.
From then on, it stood like a giant upon the grasslands, majestic to this day.
Worth mentioning was that more than half of those ten thousand transcendent cultivators had come from the Cangtu God Temple.
They had thought they were rebuilding Godson Palace and preserving the gods' majesty, and so they had worked with exceptional fervor. But on the day the palace was completed, Emperor Mu Wei declared—"The old covenant has turned to ash, and the gods are angered.
