What? What was going on?
Bian Zhuang stood beside the Celestial River, gazing toward the Hall of Exalted Peace, too shocked to speak.
After being in the Heavenly Court for so long, this was the first time Bian Zhuang had seen the Hall of Supreme Harmony's radiance dim, the first time he had felt the Power of Heavenly Dao within the Heavenly Court become scattered and disorderly.
Several hundred thousand Celestial River Navy soldiers had gathered along the banks of their own accord. Bian Zhuang had also heard Empress Nuwa's summons in his heart and recalled the patron he had once relied upon...
He wanted badly to cast off his armor and rush to Central Divine Continent, but then he considered that a conflict might erupt between the Heavenly Court and the Human Race's Heaven-Defying faction, and wanted to charge into the Hall of Supreme Harmony to see what was happening.
But he could not.
He was now the Celestial River Navy's Grand Commander and had to steady the troops here. Like the direct commanders of the Heavenly Court's various armies, he could only use immortal consciousness to look distantly toward the Hall of Exalted Peace.
Bian Zhuang watched...
The God of Wealth went in. Doumu Yuanjun was so beautiful, though her bearing was far too terrifying.
Your Majesty Jade Emperor came out, looking handsome in white, then suddenly called himself "this poor Daoist" and joined the Heaven-Defying faction.
Wait, the Heavenly Emperor was defying Heaven?
Question marks filled Bian Zhuang's forehead. He felt as though the sky had spun and the earth had turned, while two huge words surfaced in his heart:
"Absurd."
"Marshal!"
A low shout came from behind him. "What are we waiting for? His Majesty has spoken!"
Bian Zhuang furrowed his brow tightly and remained silent
