"Greetings, Divine Lord Jian Wu!"
"We pay our respects to Divine Lord Jian Wu! Welcome, Divine Lord Jian Wu!"
In the Yuanji Sect's square, both the sect's disciples and the True Gods and Ancestral Gods of the Yuanji Great World were beside themselves with excitement, calling out in unison.
Divine Lords.
It was not as though they had never seen one.
They occasionally caught sight of Divine Lord Jingyuan and the others, for instance.
Although such occasions were rare.
They were not particularly extraordinary.
But Qin Hao was different. He was currently the Heavenly Palace's most renowned peerless expert and genius.
Like a divine dragon whose head appeared but whose tail remained unseen, he rarely showed himself.
Now that they could see Qin Hao with their own eyes, how could they not be excited?
Indeed, that was exactly the case.
Even the arrival of a Dao-Origin Divine Lord from the Heavenly Palace would have stirred no greater excitement.
And to everyone present...
Although Qin Hao was not a Dao-Origin Divine Lord, he was their equal.
Even setting everything else aside.
Divine Lord Jingyuan and the others knew this very well.
Qin Hao could deal with, suppress, and slay a Peak Ruling Demon King. In strength, status, and standing, he was already no less than a Dao-Origin Divine Lord.
What none of them knew, however...
Was that the current Qin Hao could put up a fight even against a middle-rank Dao-Origin Divine Lord.
Not long ago, Qin Hao had slain Li Tian Sage Lord's split doppelganger, which had rivaled an Early-Stage Dao-Origin Divine Lord.
"Divine Lord Jingyuan, Divine Lord Feng Zhi, Divine Lord Heavenly Axe..."
With a faint smile, Qin Hao nodded to Divine Lord Jingyuan and the others, then waved to the distant crowd.
That served as his greeting.
