"Okay, before the next scene we will be inviting some guests from other worlds to react," said the voice. Though this time they had a face to the voice.

The man was wearing an emerald colored robe with white lotuses embroidered on to the lapels. His hair was tied into a high ponytail with a black ribbon which contrasted with his snow white hair.

With a snap of his fingers 3 new seating areas appeared on the right of the cultivators. A door was soon opened and many people filed into the room in confusion.

"Alright for some introductions at side 2 from the Council of Ennead are;

Maat, Goddess of Truth and Justice
Thoth, God of Knowledge and Wisdom
Ra, the Sun God
Horus, The God Supreme
Anubis, God of Death
Nephthys, Goddess of Harmony and Peace
Sekhmet, Goddess of Destruction
Isis, Goddess of Magic
Nut, Goddess of the Sky
Geb, God of the Earth."

As the aforementioned people walked in the cultivators all whispered among themselves about how scandalous the people are with the revealing clothing they were wearing.

"Human, why have you brought us here?" questioned Horus.

The white hair lad did not dain him with an answer. Instead he started to announce the next group of people.

"In section 3, we have from the 9 heavens;

Crown Prince, Yè huá
The Heavenly Emperor
Bái FèngJiǔ
DongHua
Sū jǐn
Zi Lan
Dié fēng
Ze Yan
Bái zhēn
Mo Yuan."

As this group of gods filed in, the white haired lad snapped his fingers and all of them were seated.

"Now introducing our last group in section 4 we have;

Dì QīngYuàn, Heavenly Emperor
Xiào jué, Demon King
Shuǐ Yàner, Heavenly Empress"

"Now everyone sits back down and react," said the white hair lad with a sadistic smile.

An extravagant palace appeared behind the thick mist. On the front of the palace was a name plaque that had the name of the palace "Chóngshēng Gong '' engraved into it.

In the courtyard, there was a red gentian tree to the side with a lotus pond under it. Wei Ying had turned to his study.

In his study, there were war trophies on the walls and many shelves with scrolls and books.
In the very center of the study was a black jade guqin. There were spider lily motifs carved on the black jade.

He walked in and started to do his backlog paperwork. After Wei Ying had finished he walked out of the study, and knelt under the Gentian tree and dug out a hole and in that hole was his secret stash of emperor's smile.

"Typical Wei Wuxian," said Jiang Cheng with an eye roll, but secretly he was glad his brother was still the same after everything.

The Ennead gods were still confused on what's going on.

"Jiǔxiāo shén jiè..." murmured DongHua.

"Di-jun, knows of this place?" questioned the Heavenly Emperor.

DongHua sighed as everyone looked at him with interest, even the foreign gods. "Jiǔ Xiāo Shén Jiè, is the realm of ancient gods ruled by the Heavenly Empress and Emperor. It was said that the empress was a descendant of the Zhūquè tribe and the Emperor is descended from the Azure Dragon tribe." As he finished explaining, a person entered the courtyard.

"Ying-er, what are you doing?" said a serene voice. Wei Ying whipped his head over to see a woman. This woman had long black hair styled into a silver crown. She wore a white robe with white embroidery.

"QiānGē-Yi, your back..." tears started to flow out of Wei Ying's eyes. A soft yet sad smile made its way across the woman's face.

Xiao Jue was stunned that this woman looked like YanGe, yet she was so different.

On the other side the entirety of section 3 was stunned. This woman looked like the mortal that Ye Hua had fallen in love with and the ones closest to Bai Qian/Si Yin were equally as stunned.

"SuSu..." muttered Ye Hua, distraught eyes looking at the figure on the screen.

The screen abruptly changes.

A war torn battlefield was shown on the screen. Dead bodies piled onto each other. Be it gods, demons, devils, or ghosts all sides had lost many of their own.

"JieJie!" yelled a frantic young lad. He had fiery red hair tied into a high ponytail. His black and maroon robes were covered in the blood of his enemies.

His face was delicate yet sharp, his eyes were of a red that would remind one of lava. But in his eyes were only anguish and heartache.

"He..." Ra's voice shook as she saw the person's face.

"Mother, do you know this man..." questioned Maat. She did kind of see the resemblance of this young boy with the deceased god of war, Seth, but in her mother's eyes she saw sadness and longing.

"CángSè SāiTè, he was my creator and my father..." Ra trailed off as she stared at the screen trying to engrave every detail of her father's looks into her mind.

The rest of Ennead were silent.
