As for the ritual, it was simply a nationwide sacrifice, reporting the matter to Heaven. Nothing more.
In bygone eras, there were no gods in the world. Such rituals were more often used to display one's legitimacy.
Just as ancient nobles devised cumbersome social etiquette to distinguish themselves from ordinary people.
Everyone was mortal by nature, but in order to become superior to others with justification, they concocted countless stories, even tales of ghosts and gods, claiming that their clan was descended from divine beings.
Thus, in godless ages, sacrifices were instead more stringent.
Some national rites in ancient times even required everyone to participate, holding sacrifices across the entire nation at a designated time.
But once gods truly existed in the world and formed the Divine Court, such things were no longer necessary. The Divine Dynasty's legal legitimacy did not rest upon devout faith in any particular god, but upon order.
Gods drew power from order, not worship. That was what a true Orthodox God was.
Thus, the role ordinary people played in this sacrifice was simply to know about it. As long as they knew it existed, that was enough.
Once they knew, it became legitimate in name and in truth.
Therefore, over this period, news about it suddenly became far more common across online platforms, websites, and all kinds of media.
Thanks to powerful big-data support, news could even be pushed with pinpoint precision. If you liked woodworking, you would come across articles on the ancient architectural craftsmanship of the Imperial City, as well as how many timber structures had been used in Princess Yue's residence, which had begun construction sixteen years ago, when Princess Yue had just been born.
If you liked history, even better. You would see pieces on the imperial princesses of every dynasty,
