Auspicious signs rose amid the wind and clouds. Radiant clouds filled the sky, and green lotuses carpeted the ground, breathing out starlight as they hung above the nine heavens. The stars shone in answer, sweet rain descended, and countless wondrous visions emerged. Living beings from across the heavens appeared here, seemingly paying homage together to the Heavenly Emperor.
Above the River of Time, within the Central Heavenly Palace, Ji Hao sat motionless upon the supreme throne, as though he had been seated there since ages past. Lofty beyond reach, he bore the Emperor Throne, ruled the six combinations and eight desolations, and overlooked billions of miles of mountains and rivers, his majesty as forbidding as a prison.
Chaos surged all around him. He looked heroic and vigorous, his ink-black hair gleaming with crystalline brilliance. At that moment, his Emperor's Robe fluttered gently, and his eyes shone like golden lamps, as though they could pierce nothingness completely and see through time.
"What a familiar feeling..." Ji Hao remained still upon his seat, allowing the backlash of karmic retribution to brush his face like a breeze, seemingly unable to stir a single ripple.
Ji Hao's bearing was majestic, as though he reigned over the world and looked down upon all gods. His supreme, heroic presence inspired awe.
The Tai Chi Diagram floated above his head, its yin-yang qi evolving into two sets of heavens and myriad realms. The diagram became a canopy encompassing those yin and yang heavens and myriad realms, while the Yuanshi heavens united as one, radiating imperial brilliance. Endless Heavenly Court's fortune wound around it, slowly gathering from the six combinations and eight desolations, forming long dragons that merged into the mark between his brows.
It flowed without end, as though boundless power was brewing.
