Chapter 1616: Chapter 1124: Divine Enthronement

"Is that the God Sealing Platform? Is the Celestial Realm going to seal a god?!"

"First the Black Tortoise and Azure Dragon ascend, then there’s the divine enthronement. The era has indeed changed."

"Legend has it that only the Lord of Heaven has the right to seal gods. Does that mean once the God Sealing Ceremony officially begins, we will see the Lord of Heaven?"

"Huh? Aren’t gods said to be unseeable? Would looking at them shorten one’s lifespan?"

"A rare spectacle that comes only once in a millennium, it’s worth it even if it shortens one’s lifespan!"

"Oh, come on. It’s only when a god is about to fall and cannot restrain their aura that one might lose lifespan; or when one spies on a god. A publicly announced God Sealing Ceremony like this, neither the Lord of Heaven nor the gods being sealed would reveal their true forms, only their shadows. Such a grand event is meant for people to see; how could it shorten one’s lifespan?"

"Times are changing, and the world is not what it used to be. This proclamation to anoint true gods is a signal from the Celestial Realm. Encouraging everyone to cultivate virtuously so they can achieve true results and join the ranks of immortals..."

...

At this moment, all eyes were on the God Sealing Platform.

Qu Luming and Judge Lu Huai were chatting idly, when they sensed celestial melodies and looked up, suddenly stunned.

"Could it be..." Qu Luming felt something in his heart, knowing that long ago the Celestial Realm had collapsed; only one person could repair the remnants!

He turned to the judge excitedly and said, "Do you want to go see the God Sealing in person?"

Judge: Meow meow meow?

What’s meant by "seeing the God Sealing in person"? No matter how powerful you are, you couldn’t just step onto the God Sealing Platform to witness the event!

Though puzzled at heart, he knew this fellow was very informed. Had it not been for Qu Luming’s strong support in replenishing what he lacked, he would not have been so successful.

Therefore, the judge shook his head sighing, "I do want to, but you know, I can’t leave the Netherworld."

"And so what if you leave?" Qu Luming was unconcerned and laughed, "You’re just too honest. It’s Fengdu that can’t do without you. They should hold you dear, serve you well, and make you happy! Wanting to go out is simple, isn’t it? Worried about your safety, send Protectors to clear the way, who would dare to provoke you?"

His casual remark stirred Judge Lu Huai’s heart.

Since taking up the role of acting judge, he had been trapped in this sunless Netherworld Fengdu, not having taken a single step out. Forget the blue skies and white clouds of the Mortal World, he hadn’t even seen the scenery outside Fengdu City for countless years.

"But..." The judge was still hesitant.

Qu Luming could not wait any longer. He had to hurry back to the courtyard to see whether it was Mr. Jiang presiding over such a grand event!

"No more ’buts’; if you don’t go, I must hurry to enjoy the bustle. Arriving late, when the God Sealing Ceremony officially begins, would mean missing everything!" Qu Luming thought, if Mr. Jiang is presiding, it should be the Sea God sealed during the New Year visit.

In such grandeur, after the God Sealing Ceremony there surely would be a banquet!

Endless delicacies and rare wines in the world, plenty for everyone, even if just for satisfying appetites, one must go feast!

"Hey, wait! Good brother, wait for me." The judge grabbed him, earnestly saying, "I will go explain to the Ghost Emperor that I want to go out and see the world with you."

"Then, hurry up, the God Sealing Ceremony is about to start." Qu Luming felt a bit regretful, his earlier words ill-timed; if delayed, wouldn’t that be a pity?

Fortunately, the judge was quite capable, quickly went to see the Ghost Emperor.

After expressing his deep longing for freedom outside, as Qu Luming predicted, the Ghost Emperor didn’t insist. He appointed two Hidden Guards, allowing him to temporarily leave the Netherworld Fengdu, but only for two hours, needing to return for safety by then.

Thus, Judge Lu Huai delightfully followed Qu Luming to teleport to the courtyard, only to be blocked outside by a Barrier with the two Hidden Guards.

Qu Luming: ...

It’s self-inflicted trouble!

"Sir, you are..." He hurriedly went to see Jiang Yuan, intending to have him temporarily open the Barrier to allow the judge’s party to enter the courtyard.

Unexpectedly, upon entering the courtyard, he saw Mr. Jiang in a magnificent ceremonial dress, surrounded by celestial mist, wearing a jade crown, exuding a solemn and majestic aura.

Jiang Yuan glanced at the remaining five minutes of countdown, then looked at the new skin directly changed by the system, smiled and said, "Wait a moment, I am about to anoint my sister as Sea God, naturally it must be formal."

Qu Luming slapped his thigh and thought it was just as he expected! It truly was Mr. Jiang anointing a true god!

Hit by enormous joy, he was momentarily dazed, then remembered three ghosts were still blocked outside, hurriedly finding an excuse to have Mr. Jiang let them in.

"The judge came along too?" Jiang Yuan was a bit puzzled, wasn’t it said the judge never leaves Fengdu City, why would he run over for the God Sealing today?

Puzzled at heart, he didn’t say much else, immediately adjusted the courtyard Barrier settings, letting the party of three ghosts in.

The judge didn’t change much, still in the incomplete phantom form; but the two ghost cultivators beside him, always close, were the Ghost Emperor’s trusted Hidden Guards, both in the Tribulation Crossing Realm, top-tier experts.

"Lu Huai greets senior." The judge, upon entering, sensed Mr. Jiang’s aura differing from before.

Focusing carefully, under the enveloping five-colored auspicious clouds, the dress alone was extraordinary; seeing many cultivators in the courtyard, all respectfully lined up, he couldn’t help but be stirred at heart—what Qu Luming said was not boasting, but truly knowing the god about to ascend the God Sealing Platform?

Unsure what god Mr. Jiang would seal as, Lu Huai felt increasingly excited, asking himself earnestly since becoming judge, he had been diligent, and even filled in lifespan, facing challenges head-on.
