The Great Huan Celestial Dynasty, Nine Dragons Forbidden City.
The arrival of the self-proclaimed envoy of the Mongol Celestial Dynasty did not earn him a personal audience with Great Huan Celestial Lord Xiao Ying. Xiao Ying merely sent someone to receive him as a courtesy and learn why he had come.
Still, the envoy's use of "celestial dynasty envoy" and "Mongol Celestial Dynasty" alone made it clear that Genghis Khan, that peerless prodigy of his age, intended to establish a celestial dynasty, not merely an empire. His ambitions were no small thing!
Afterward, Xiao Ying summoned the senior Great Huan officials in Nine Dragons Forbidden City, as was his custom, to discuss how to respond.
The Great Huan Celestial Dynasty was fighting battle after battle on multiple fronts, so few senior officials remained in Nine Dragons Forbidden City. Most were the Huan Empress, the Three Excellencies and Nine Ministers, and others who had long guarded the city, along with those who had followed Xiao Ying on his campaign in the United States Region. Heavenly Empress Lü Zhi, Dragon Empress Chong Shiqie, Emperor Qin Huating, and more than half the State Commissioners all had important duties or had personally gone to the battlefields overseen by their respective factions. They had not remained in the Forbidden City.
"What? A mere resurrected emperor actually dreams of founding a celestial dynasty, and even dares invite Your Majesty to witness the ceremony? Does he not know that, in the world's current state, only our dynasty and the Immortal-God Faction remain? What is the meaning of this?"
After Eunuch Qiu explained the matter of the celestial dynasty's envoy, everyone reacted differently. Gao Hong, the Imperial Censor among the Three Excellencies, was the first to spit out her bewilderment and anger.
That was indeed the case. Any
