The next afternoon.
In Xining, of the Minia Empire.
The specific location of the banquet was not inside the city but ten thousand meters above the skies of Xining.
In the howling cold winds high above, a series of black chains stretched out from the void, converging to a point and suspending a gigantic silver-black sphere.
The surface of the sphere was constantly flowing with a multitude of divine and spirit patterns.
This was the temporary banquet palace constructed by the Pantheon Alliance, solely for this occasion.
Though called a banquet, it initially involved more of a reception with drinks and a dance. According to the venue's guide, all attendees would leisurely enjoy top-tier musical and dance performances invited for the event within the main hall.
The seats of the various factions and forces were arranged into separate regions, each isolated from the others.
However, the exact situation would only be known upon arrival.
