Year 14300 of the eight desolations calendar. The heavenly court was peaceful.
This year, the Emperor and Empress held a small court meeting to summarize the problems discovered in the past hundreds of years and to reward those who had made contributions to the heavenly court. Other than that, they also sorted out the relationship between the nine-five system and the major departments.
The venerable sovereign had been in seclusion all this time. This was good news as it meant that everyone still had time. The various forces spontaneously withdrew, and even the Golden immortal patriarchs were refining their divine arts. They didn't dare to relax and wanted to use the venerable sovereign's opportunity to break through.
