Li Jing broke out in a cold sweat.
The Jade Emperor had gone into secluded cultivation without leaving a single word, only stating that he was going to seclude himself, without even designating who should fill his position!
The other two great emperors, Emperor Ziwei, known for his mild temperament, did not like to meddle in any affairs. Even the opportunity to fill in for the Jade Emperor did not interest him; instead, he was utterly engrossed in his passion for music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
Southern Emperor Changsheng was another who disliked taking action, spending his days playing with thunder and lightning, cultivating the change of seasons within his palm, and immersing himself in the path of heaven and earth.
In truth, even Emperor Gouchen was not one fond of political power, and Li Jing could not understand why, all of a sudden, he had emerged wanting to take on the position of the Jade Emperor.
