On the other side,
Emperor Shi, who had succeeded in ascending to Human Immortal status, had already arrived at the North Heaven Gate with half of his Golden Que Imperial Court.
He was immediately greeted by all fifteen Corpse Dissection Immortals of the Nine Soldiers lined up outside to welcome him.
Despite the fact that the Emperor had caused a great uproar and nearly usurped control over the Heavenly Dao and everyone's fate, he wasn't particularly close, but neither was he seen with much hostility.
There was even a somewhat inexplicable expectancy toward him.
Many privately thought:
"Taibai really is reliable; his handling of this matter was flawless.
Not only did he alleviate everyone's crisis, but he also gained a new ally—ahem, a fellow Taoist.
Sixteen armors, and now finally half are filler and half are genuine. Truly, it's the blessing of the Heavenly Dao; these years have been tough!
We really owe Taibai a huge favor now."
