Takamagahara, Uda Blood Plain.
Two hundred members of the Ōtsutsuki Main Family and over a thousand members of the Branch Family had gathered here!
No matter how unruly those gods usually were, once they arrived here, they had to behave themselves!
They were all gods, yet they still had to be ranked into different classes.
Though the Main Family held a lofty status, it was further divided into the Original Main Family and the Post-Original Main Family.
The Original Main Family consisted of the twenty-eight gods most closely related by blood to the Progenitor Gods. After the passage of time and the turns of fate, four gods were absent!
Those four gods were the ones later celebrated as the Four Great Traitors: Ōtsutsuki Sana, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, Ōtsutsuki Ubiji, and Ōtsutsuki Subichini!
Without exception, all those who survived had received the blessings of the Divine Tree Fruit, forming the twenty-four seats of the Heavenly Gods!
Later, Duochimo was turned into a refrigerator, leaving twenty-three seats among the Heavenly Gods.
After the bloody battle in the Netherworld, six seats of the Heavenly Gods had fallen, leaving seventeen.
Among those seventeen, Basara and Huiyao—the most exalted of them all—had yet to arrive, while Huiyue had gone on an expedition to Mitsuki Country and had not yet returned to the clan. The remaining fourteen had all come to the Uda Blood Plain and were seated in the places prepared for them in the front row.
