The figure before Gu Chaoyan bore a striking resemblance to someone familiar. Despite the silver mask concealing his features, his stature and the glimpses visible beyond the mask hinted at a celestial aura.
A notion struck Gu Chaoyan suddenly. The similarities between the Heaven Emperor, Heaven, and Huaijin were uncanny.
But such musings were swiftly dismissed. How could the Heaven Emperor be synonymous with Heaven? The sect he presided over lay at the base of Sky Sect Mountain, worlds apart from the realm of the Heaven Emperor.
Best not to dwell on such thoughts.
Observing the woman before him, the Celestial Thearch couldn't help but find her demeanor amusing. Whether in his previous life or this one, only she possessed the audacity to treat the palace as her own sanctuary.
Speech eluded the Heaven Emperor momentarily, but a smile graced his lips nonetheless. In her presence, contentment flourished effortlessly.
