Tang Xiao then brought Ah Yin with him, slowly descending from the high sky.
As their figures continued to lower, the terrifying aura unique to the Blue Silver Supreme on Tang Xiao's body rippled outward like water, silent and unobtrusive.
In an instant, the Blue Silver Grass across the entire continent began to sway frantically, emitting a rustling sound as if welcoming the return of their sovereign.
Within the imperial city below.
Countless commoners, upon sensing this gentle yet supreme imperial aura, stopped what they were doing.
Their faces were filled with expressions of fanaticism and piety.
"It is His Majesty! His Majesty has returned to the court!"
"Welcome, Your Imperial Majesty!"
Accompanied by these shouts, countless commoners in the streets and alleys knelt to the ground, bowing piously toward the blue-gold figure in the sky.
Around the imperial palace.
Thousands of soldiers clad in blue-gold armor turned in perfect unison at that moment, facing the direction where Tang Xiao was landing.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The sounds of blades being unsheathed and spears striking the ground merged into one, creating an imposing momentum.
"Welcome, Your Majesty, back to the court! Long live, long live, long live Your Majesty!"
Thousands of soldiers shouted in unison, their overwhelming voices converging to disperse the clouds for hundreds of miles around in an instant.
The solemn yet fanatical momentum made Ah Yin, standing to the side, tremble with awe.
This was the might of an emperor!
This was the world belonging to her son!
Tang Xiao's expression remained calm as he brought Ah Yin down, landing slowly on the white marble plaza in front of the imperial palace hall.
The moment they touched the ground, the tightly closed doors of the hall ahead slowly creaked open.
A peerless beauty dressed in a pale blue palace gown stepped out with elegant and noble strides.
She had a waterfall of long silver hair, exquisite features without a single flaw, and fair skin that shimmered with a lustrous glow under the sunlight.
She exuded a cold and noble temperament that made one dare not harbor the slightest thought of profanity.
The woman stopped not far from Tang Xiao.
She bowed slightly, hands folded in front of her, and performed a standard imperial salute.
"Welcome back to the court, Your Majesty."
The woman's voice was crisp and melodious, like a mountain spring hitting stones, echoing slowly across the empty plaza.
Following the silver-haired woman's graceful bow, the atmosphere in the plaza reached its peak.
Behind Zhong Lingyue, the tens of thousands of elite imperial soldiers knelt on one knee in perfect synchronization.
The heavy sound of armor colliding converged into a surging torrent, causing the void around the hall to tremble slightly.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
The shouts of thousands of soldiers exploded like rolling thunder over the entire imperial city.
Immediately after, countless commoners within the city also knelt toward the palace, shouting "Long live our Emperor."
It was a scene of shock that could not be described in words.
On this vast and boundless continent, the will of millions converged at this moment, and the object of their faith and worship was only one person.
That was Tang Xiao, standing beside Ah Yin.
Ah Yin stared blankly at the scene before her, her lips slightly parted, her beautiful face filled with unconcealable shock.
She could clearly feel that the shouts of these soldiers and commoners were not born out of fear of power.
It was a fanaticism and worship that came from the heart, untainted by any impurities.
Moreover, a strange power of faith was faintly gathering from these people, eventually merging silently into Tang Xiao's body.
As a former hundred-thousand-year soul beast, Ah Yin naturally understood what this meant.
It meant that her son was no longer just a ruler on this continent.
He was the god of this continent!
He was the sole faith in the hearts of countless subjects!
"Xiao'er... did you achieve all of this?"
Ah Yin's voice was hoarse as she turned to look at her son, whose expression remained calm.
At this moment, she truly and intuitively felt the terrifying power and majesty her eldest son possessed on the Sun Moon Continent.
It was something that the so-called imperial emperors of the Douluo Continent could never compare to.
Tang Xiao looked at his mother's shocked expression and smiled gently.
He reached out his hand, and a soft force instantly manifested in the void, slowly lifting Zhong Lingyue and the thousands of soldiers kneeling before him.
"Rise, everyone."
Tang Xiao's voice was not loud, yet it reached every person's ears with perfect clarity.
Zhong Lingyue stood up, guided by that force, and as her beautiful eyes fell upon Ah Yin beside Tang Xiao, a flash of astonishment crossed the depths of her gaze.
Although Ah Yin's current state was ethereal, the aura of the Blue Silver Emperor, originating from the depths of her bloodline, was impossible to conceal.
Furthermore, Ah Yin's features bore a striking resemblance to Tang Xiao's.
Tang Xiao took Ah Yin's hand and walked forward a few steps, arriving before Zhong Lingyue.
"Lingyue, come here."
Tang Xiao looked at the silver-haired beauty before him, his gaze softening considerably.
Zhong Lingyue hurried forward a step, bowing her head slightly, appearing very docile.
Tang Xiao turned his head and introduced her to Ah Yin at his side:
"Mother, this is Zhong Lingyue, my woman."
"During my seclusion and travels, she has been the one assisting me in managing the many affairs of the empire."
Ah Yin's heart gave a slight jolt.
The aura emanating from this silver-haired woman was unfathomable; she was clearly an incredibly powerful expert.
Most importantly, the noble and elegant temperament she possessed made it impossible for anyone to look at her without feeling an immediate sense of affinity.
After introducing Zhong Lingyue, Tang Xiao turned back to look at her, his expression serious as he said:
"Lingyue, this is my mother, Ah Yin."
Boom!
Upon hearing these words, Zhong Lingyue felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and her delicate body could not help but tremble violently.
An expression of utter trepidation instantly appeared on her exquisite, flawless face.
As one of the people closest to Tang Xiao, Zhong Lingyue naturally knew his background.
She knew he had been abandoned by his father as a child, and that his mother was a hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor who had sacrificed herself to protect Tang Hao.
She had assumed that her husband's mother had already vanished from this world.
She never expected that her husband would bring his mother back with him from this trip!
Zhong Lingyue dared not show the slightest negligence; she bent her knees, preparing to kneel once more.
"Zhong Lingyue pays respects to Mother!"
"I was unaware of your arrival and failed to welcome you properly; I beg for your forgiveness!"
Zhong Lingyue's voice carried a hint of imperceptible nervousness and panic.
This was the mother of a God King, and one of the most important people in her husband's life.
She was terrified that she might do something wrong and leave a poor impression on her mother-in-law.
