Following Nong Sovereign's burial ceremony, the throne of the Human Sovereign was officially vacant. Thus, the Heavenly Monarch had called for the imperial emperors for a meeting regarding the selection of the next Human Sovereign.
Imperial Emperor Xian Tian said, "My Highness, the sovereigns of the races are best left for the races themselves to decide, it is unwise for outsiders to intervene. That said, I propose that the humans select their own Human Sovereign, there is no need to trouble the Heavenly Monarch for such a small matter."
"Good, proceed as tradition dictates then. The human race will select their own leader. Does any imperial emperor object?"
The Heavenly Monarch glanced around at his silent subjects; clearly, they had all tacitly agreed to allow the humans to select their next Human Sovereign. Then, the Heavenly Monarch looked to the side and asked, "My fellow Daoist, what do you think?"
