Simulated immortality allows me to calculate talent stats.

[After you crossed the high threshold and entered the Abyss Palace.]

The bronze animal-shaped lamps on either side flickered with candlelight, flanked by towering red pillars carved with intricate patterns.

The ground was paved with gold bricks, reflecting the star-like array patterns on the dome.

[It makes one feel as if they are in a vast universe.]

Ahead lies a main road, branching off into two pools filled with starlight.

Golden lotuses bloom in clusters in the pond, where carp and dragons swim among them.

Around the pool, tables and chairs were set up, and figures from the Western Regions forces were already seated.

[At this moment, I face your arrival.]

They all showed expressions of surprise.

[I want to see what kind of beauty you possess that has driven an unknown eunuch to such a state.]

Yet I fear offending you, and then becoming just another nameless eunuch.

You stroll leisurely, calmly surveying your surroundings.

[Through a narrow passage, one glimpses the interior of Taiyuan Hall, the layout of which is almost a replica.]

However, compared to the Hidden Abyss Palace...

[The scene at Taiyuan Palace.]

[Those who could be called immortals were numerous and numerous.]

The maidservant stopped before the central avenue, gracefully bowing to indicate that you should walk alone.

[Jiang Bofu and the others following behind also stopped.]

Walk around the pool from both the left and right sides.

Clearly, this path is of extremely high standard, even Jiang Bofu cannot traverse it normally.

You don't care about these formalities.

[Strolling onto the main road.]

[Buzz...]

In an instant, you are blinded by the dazzling golden light surrounding you, and the vast, resounding sound of chanting fills the air.

With each step, golden lotuses bloom beneath one's feet.

[The entire body is composed of talismans materialized from the divine essence of heaven and earth, which connect and outline to form a magnificent picture.]

The scroll slowly unfurls.

[This is what you will ultimately see before you.]

It is a divine statue sculpted from the essence of heaven and earth.

A handsome and dignified face, eyes looking down as if the heavens were gazing down.

[Clad in attire befitting the Crown Prince of the Great Azure Kingdom.]

[A revered and noble authority, one whose dignity is inviolable.]

It instinctively makes one want to bow down and kneel in submission.

You observe the divine aura of heaven and earth surrounding you, as well as the materialized talismans.

Ultimately, they couldn't figure anything out, so they just recorded everything and stuffed it into the database.

As for the statue of the deity that stands high above us, looking down upon us...

[That was the Vihero, who exerted an extremely strong sense of pressure even on celestial beings.]

For you.

[It's like throwing a flirtatious glance at a blind man—a complete waste of effort.]

Even the compassion of heaven and earth, and its overwhelming and majestic power, you can withstand.

Moreover, what we are seeing now is merely aided by the divine power of heaven and earth.

What kind of awe-inspiring power can one capture only the form, but not the spirit?

This kind of oppression, which cannot cause any real harm, you rely on your unwavering beliefs.

[This allows them to completely ignore it.]

You look up at the face of the colossal statue; the dazzling golden light makes you squint.

[Gradually, I could see that face clearly.]

[His appearance is similar to what I remember, but he has lost his youthful naiveté, reserve, gentleness, and innocence.]

His gaze carried an imposing and authoritative aura.

[The statue, seeing that you were not intimidated by its power and even looked directly at it with extreme disrespect.]

A slight furrow between his brows instantly caused the surrounding天地神韵 (heaven and earth) to tremble.

[A dazzling, brilliant golden light shimmered and flickered erratically.]

[Accompanied by the surging and turbulent pressure.]

Unfortunately, it still has no effect on you, or even in your opinion.

It felt like entering a luxurious private karaoke room; I almost wanted to sing "Lotus Pond in the Moonlight."

Cast aside any frivolous thoughts in your mind.

You gaze at the face of the idol.

A slight smile curved her lips.

Her black robe danced lightly, her posture graceful and composed.

"After all these years, is this how you pretend to reminisce?"

The statue's golden eyes gleamed, flickered, and then paused.

The aura of sacred majesty collapsed instantly.

[The colors of human emotion surfaced on his face.]

【"haven't seen you for a long time."】

[The clear, melodious voice seemed to echo from afar.]

You narrowed your eyes slightly and gestured, "The lighting is a bit too bright, let's dim it."

The statue's eyes gaze down upon your insignificant figure.

[This confirms that you are not pretending, but are genuinely unaffected by any threats.]

This immediately made him feel a little awkward and embarrassed.

[I intended to intimidate them and elevate my own status.]

[As a result, you're completely unaffected, silently watching him dance solo, without any background music.]

How could he not be embarrassed?

[Then, the golden light, the divine aura of heaven and earth, and all the strange phenomena disappeared.]

You are standing in the latter half of Central Avenue.

Jiang Bofu and his group, along with Wei Qi and his group, had already walked around the pool and taken their seats.

You stroll across the avenue.

Looking ahead, there was a high bronze platform, with layers of steps leading upwards, upon which sat a majestic figure.

[His face matches the previous statue, and overlaps with the boy in my memory.]

You chuckled softly, your gaze hardening, and said directly, "Won't you call me 'Young Master'?"

The atmosphere froze upon hearing this.

Jiang Bofu and the others looked solemn, fearing that another dramatic scene would unfold before the banquet even began.

[Wei Qi, Pang Hai, Xu Hui.]

Enjoy the show without any pressure.

[Especially the second-generation Pang Hai, who was guided by the first-generation Pang Hai.]

[Choose only the freshest and plumpest jade grapes to eat.]

[They said they wanted to experience the Western Regions culture that their elder brother had once known.]

The second-generation Pang Hai couldn't help but wonder, was the jade scepter his elder brother spoke of really this jade scepter?

Xu Hui reached to his side and suddenly realized that the black cat was gone.

And then, nobody cared about him anymore.

【boom! 】

[A seated official from the Western Regions slammed his fist on the table and stood up.]

[I angrily rebuked your disrespect.]

[Once someone takes the lead, the rest immediately follow suit.]

[Suddenly, a cacophony of rebukes in various accents filled the Qianyuan Palace.]

Your brow furrowed slightly, your eyes cold.

Jiang Bofu was on edge, fearing the situation would spiral out of control.

[Before I even had a chance to speak.]

You then turned around and scolded them.

"Speak louder! How can anyone hear you when it's so noisy?"

The ancient, elegant voice drifted out of the hall.

"Daddy! Daddy!..."

Immediately, the nameless eunuch's hoarse, gloomy shout rang out loudly.

You seemed to have heard me clearly, and nodded in satisfaction, glancing around at your surroundings.

But at this moment, the hall was completely silent, save for the echoing shouts of the nameless eunuch.

[Speak up and rebuke the official who criticizes you.]

At this moment, I recalled what had happened earlier.

The nameless eunuch's cries struck their hearts like heavy hammer blows.

Even an unknown eunuch was humiliated to this extent.

They're even thinking of using their power to demonstrate their loyalty and gain favor—aren't they insane?

[Facing your sweeping gaze.]

The surrounding officials felt extremely uncomfortable, especially those who spoke out in reprimand.

[Head bowed, chest hunched, body trembling, wishing I could disappear into the ground to escape your attention.]

[Jiang Bofu's wariness transformed into a sigh.]

[Faced with the rebukes of numerous officials, you remained indifferent and showed contempt.]

[They chose to retaliate by humiliating the nameless eunuch.]

[Clearly, this stance is far more noble than engaging in a verbal battle with a group of scholars.]

[At this moment, outside the main hall.]

The chubby black cat stealthily shifted its rear end.
