"There's no need."
Just as Chu Xisheng and Star God Guchen exchanged looks, the black-robed elder flicked his sleeve and said magnanimously, "After all, he is the Human Sovereign and God-Emperor of half the Divine Land in the Mortal Realm, a man whose life is worth eleven Star God godhoods. He deserves respect and is qualified to sit here. It's only a chair. Those are readily available here."
After walking onto the Imperial Platform, he raised a hand and beckoned, pulling a stone chair directly out of the stone platform before sitting down.

Star God Guchen towered above them
