Chief Executive Wu saw that only a single figure had appeared on the jade wall this time. Slightly surprised, his expression grew solemn. He bowed toward the great jade wall and said, "Greetings, Regent Director."
After a pause, he added, "We have already received the Regent Director's decree. Yet for the sake of prudence, we came here to seek the Regent Director's confirmation."
Zhang Yu nodded. The struggle in the Upper Layer was truly difficult to predict, and the Profound Court lacked the means to judge matters of the Upper Layer. Only a true Celestial Xia Regent Director would respond to inquiries made here. This would allow them to verify matters through arrangements made in the past. It was an exceedingly prudent course of action.
He said, "The Upper Layer of Origin Xia was ruled by the Innate Five Tais. It was these five who upheld the Dao struggle. Now that these five have already been destroyed, the remaining great powers were merely swept along in the past and are now restrained as well. Even if there are disturbances, I and the other Regent Directors will certainly suppress them. They will not become a threat. Chief Executive, you may rest assured."
Only then did Chief Executive Wu feel at ease. He further asked, "Does the Regent Director have any instructions concerning matters of the Lower Layer?"
Zhang Yu said, "When the Profound Court was first established, the upper and lower were separated. The Regent Directors were responsible only for pointing out the Dao and asking after the Dao, while matters of the Lower Layer were administered by the Profound Court itself. For many years, Chief Executive and the various Court Directors have handled matters properly. It is enough to proceed according to the old practice."
Chief Executive Wu acknowledged this.
