The next morning.
“Chiyunzi, wake up.”
Chiyunzi opened his eyes groggily, glancing at Gu Wen, who was still lost in dreams not far away.
On the windowsill, a paper crane had settled there, though he did not remember when it had arrived.
The paper crane, like an ordinary bird, was preening feathers that did not exist.
A thought flickered in his mind.
【Rebellion in the Demon Cave, drought demons are appearing in Youzhou, the Buddha of Xumi Mountain has turned to evil, the Buddha has been reincarnated】
He channeled his power to expel the remnants of alcohol from his body as white smoke, instantly shaking off the haze of sleep.
He quickly nudged Gu Wen awake.
“Gu Wen, wake up. It’s time for the morning meeting.”
“What morning meeting?”
“The morning meeting of the Jade Emperor Palace. Now that you are the respected Heavenly Sovereign ruling the world, all matters are decided by you.”
Under Chiyunzi's insistence, Gu Wen begrudgingly returned to the Jade Emperor Palace.
The assembled powers of the various domains had already been waiting for a long time, exchanging glances with one another, staring at the drowsy figure of the Yuqing Heavenly Sovereign seated on the high platform.
Gu Wen spoke, “If there is anything to report, then do so. If not, we will dismiss the meeting.”
