Chapter 1415 Called To The Imperial Palace III

"I am the Celestial Emperor, Izanagi Amaterasu. I greet the friends of the Vermillion Bird and benefactor to my two children." The Celestial Emperor stated as he also slightly bowed his head which shocked some of the vassals.

The Celestial Emperor is not dumb to the issues of the outside world as he knows of the Church of the Twin Gods. He knew of the church that worshiped the Goddess of Life Gaea and the God of Death Abaddon. Their number might not match the other churches but they were getting power from Primordial Gods that even the four divine beasts must bow down to.

"Thank you for your show of respect, Celestial Emperor. We just happen to encounter people that are in need as we did not even know that they were imperial princesses." Adrian stated as he bowed back.

"It seems the rumors about the Champion of the Twin Gods is exaggerated by the merchants that come here as they told me that you were hardheaded and stone cold." The Celestial Emperor stated with a hearty laugh to lighten the awkward atmosphere.

"It seems that the rumors about the Celestial Emperor were also exaggerated at my end as they said that you were stern and stiff. I guess rumors are really baseless chatter of people that were not even present or know of the person they are talking about." Adrian replied with a laugh as well.

"Well, I guess we should just know each other so that the rumors be proven false. The Imperial Palace will always welcome Champion Equinox and the others as well." The Celestial Emperor stated as he knew he made a connection with Adrian's group by saying that.

"That is such a great favor, your majesty. Thank you very much." Adrian replied and the others also copied his reply.

"Now that the pleasantries are out of the way, I should tell you the reason why I asked for all of you to be called here. I am a generous emperor, and I am even more so when it comes to the life of my beloved children. As each of you have helped my Shini and Champion Equinox also helped my Yinyue, I need to bestow a reward to each of you. Please tell me what you wish and I shall make sure that it will come true." The Celestial Emperor declared.

"Before that, your majesty. We were sent by someone to give a present to the seventh Prince Reishi. Can we give him the item that we were told to deliver him?" Adrian interjected.

"Of course! I have no problem with that but is it truly to my youngest? He rarely goes outside of the palace as he is a bit on the frail side." The Celestial Emperor asked as he knows that Prince Reishi was never outside the balance ever since he was born.

"Yes. It is for the prince as it is actually a gift to him by someone called Uncle Kui." Adrian stated with a smile and the seventh prince suddenly became excited when he heard the one that sent the gift.

"Did uncle truly give me a gift?" Prince Reishi stated as he perked up and started to ran towards Adrian but was stopped by the guards as he needed to be escorted.

"I know that you are excited, little Reishi, but who is this Uncle Kui that you are speaking of again?" The Celestial Emperor asked.

"The one I was telling you about where we explored Diyu and seal thousands of demons!" Prince Reishi stated with great excitement which made the others started to whisper.

In fact, all of the vassals and even his siblings thought that Prince Reishi was just recounting his dream. In the dream, the young prince told them that he was exploring this dangerous looking place called Diyu with a mean looking but kind hearted uncle. In their adventures, they hunted and sealed evil beings that escaped their cages.

The people that heard the absurd tale of the young prince thought that he was just recounting the dream he had when he was under the Slumber. The Slumber is the condition where some people take quite long to wake up as they were trapped in the world of dreams. It is a common dangerous illness to all the nobles of the eastern continent and exorcists were even called to wake up the prince.

"Did Uncle Kui really give me a gift? I always called out to him so that he can show himself but he never came but he did say that he was always busy. See! I told all of you that I was not lying and that everything was real!" Prince Reoshi stated with great excitement and confidence as he also thought that he really just had a dream.

"If that god does descend then there would definitely be mass hysteria in the eastern continent. A god of death descending is not a good sign after all." Adrian thought to himself as he just laughed it off.

"Where is my gift?!" Prince Reishi stated as he proceeded to held out his hands but his caretaker told him that the guards must inspect that gift first.

"Please calm down, my prince. The guards must inspect the gift first." Prince Reishi's caretaker stated.

"I think the guards should not hold onto this gift as there might be consequences." Adrian stated which already rung alarms to them.

"May we know why, Champion Equinox?" The general asked.

"This is a gift from a god after all. Only those that were given permission can handle it. The guards might lose energy but if the general handles it then you might handle it for a small amount of time." Adrian stated which made the entire audience hall freeze.

The seventh prince who all thought was useless and have daydreams was given a gift from a god. If any other guest said this then they might not have believed it but it came from the mouth of the Champion of the Twin Gods. All of the people were too stunned to speak.
