"Your Majesty..."
"I was initially just a farmer, tilling the fields of Gou Village on the Niu Shi Slope, only hoping to survive in the chaotic world, asking for nothing more than sound and prosperity in the Nine States..."
In the palace, formed from the polished skull of a giant monster, the elderly prime minister of the former dynasty walked through the luminous corridor and into a vast and open hall.
There was nothing in the hall except for a semi-transparent coffin in the center carved from white jade, within which lay a small figure dressed in yellow.
Even though nobody else was present, the former prime minister still knelt down respectfully to pay his respects, and then rose to his feet to look at the Jade Casket and speak in a heavy tone. Stripped away from his lifelessness at this moment, he appeared like a sorrowful and elderly scholar.
He was utterly committed to his duties.
