Sending a Surprise

As for Zhao Cheng, he understood that what she meant was not the audience. The Festival of the Gods, a grand Shinto event held once every three years in R Nation, naturally could not be limited to just a few major shrines. Led by the largest, Flowing Feather Divine Palace, every shrine contributed people and effort to create the final celebration.
