When Daniel left the underworld, he found himself back in Anima's orbit.
Due to the presence of many of the guests at the emperor's wedding, and numerous confused spiritual cultivators who were unsure of what to do, Daniel was able to realize that despite his permanence to the underworld had felt like it had lasted years, in reality, only a few minutes had passed.
The moment he reappeared, the many spiritual cultivators and guests turned to look at him with confusion. Daniel had proven to be the most powerful entity in the universe, and that was the reason why they hadn't left yet. Anima could now be considered his territory, and for them to leave without saying anything, would not help them build a good relationship with him.
Of all of those who had chosen to participate in the event, only the children of Iewah that had survived had left, as they were afraid that if they stayed, Daniel would have demanded for their artifacts in exchange for their lives.
