Roughly ten million kilometers away, in the imperial capital of the former Qi Empire. Within the imperial palace.
Within a lavishly decorated palace hall. Beautiful female attendants carried in platters of exquisite food and Immortal nectar, delivering them to the twelve tables, including the main table at the front of the hall.
"Come, drink."
"Big brother, I toast you."
"Ninth brother, it has been a thousand years since we met. Come, come, come; let us brothers have another cup together!"
Carefree laughter rang out. High-pitched, low-pitched, screeching…every single voice carried a dominating aura.
