The enormous palace, quiet, solemn, sacred, and majestic, resembled a temple. Just like the person sitting in meditation, silent and still, he was no longer a mortal but a deity walking among humans.
Inside and outside the palace, all palace maids, servants, and eunuchs were silent as statues, each slightly leaning in the same direction.
Just like countless other mornings, the emperor was carrying out his morning studies. Even matters of great importance would not dare interrupt him at this time.
However, today was different.
Li Xu's true form had descended after 50 years (parallel world time) and was currently assimilating his alter ego's memories, in a complex and unstable phase.
Just then, from deep within the court, the sound of a bell rang out.
"Someone come!"
"His Holy Emperor Majesty!"
This fresh yet "habitual" title brought a smile to Li Xu's face, "Where is that bell sound coming from!"
