The door did not make a sound as it gently slid open.
Qin Liuyun glanced at Yang Xuan and took the lead to enter.
Yang Xuan followed closely behind and entered the main hall.
At this moment, in the incomparably spacious and solemnly decorated Sky Harp Hall, four white-robed elders stood at the front. They lowered their heads and did not say a word.
Behind them was a middle-aged woman in an imperial robe, with a noble and solemn aura.
Beside the woman was Qin Liuyin, whom Yang Xuan had seen before. She stood quietly and did not dare to raise her head.
Behind them were eight elders in different attire. Qin Xuanqing was suddenly among them.
In front of them was a high platform with golden steps. On the high platform was a crystal Emperor's throne that constantly emitted a majestic aura.
The Great Emperor's exclusive passageway led directly to the high platform. Yang Xuan and Qin Liuyun followed the passageway and walked to the Great Emperor's throne.
When everyone in the main hall heard the footsteps, they all knelt down and greeted the Great Emperor.
Qin Liuyun stood at the side and said indifferently, "Rise."
Everyone said in unison, "Thank you, Great Emperor."
Then, they stood up and raised their heads.
When they raised their heads, everyone fell into a state of shock and astonishment.
Before that majestic throne, their respected Great Emperor had a smile on his face. Beside the Great Emperor stood a man wearing white clothes.
What's going on?
Everyone was at a loss for what to do.
The Great Emperor was a supreme being. How could there be a man standing beside her? Moreover, it seemed that their Great Emperor had faintly acknowledged that man as her master.
Among them, Qing Xuanqin was the most incredulous.
He recognized the man in front of the throne at a glance. It was the new Great Emperor of the Human Race who had disguised himself as Li Bai.
But, what's going on?
He could not wrap his head around it.
Qin Liuyin was even more confused than him. She had been in close contact with Yang Xuan just a moment ago. At this moment, her brain directly crashed and she lost the ability to think.
Everyone's reactions were different, but no one said a word.
Although they were surprised, the Great Emperor's majesty did not allow them to question it.
The Great Emperor must have her reasons for doing this.
Everyone had the same thought in their minds.
With this thought, their hearts gradually calmed down.
However, before they could completely relax, what happened next instantly petrified everyone.
The god in their hearts, the revered Tianqin Emperor, actually extended her hand and gently held the man's arm. Then, she supported him and helped him sit on the throne that only Great Emperors could sit on. As for herself, she just stood beside the man.
Boom!
Everyone felt as if a huge bolt of lightning had struck their minds, causing them to feel as if they were no longer in this world.
Some people even rubbed their eyes, wondering if there was something wrong with their eyes.
There were even some who had the misconception that the Great Emperor was being threatened and was about to attack.
Everyone had different reactions. At this moment, Qin Liuyun took a small step forward and said loudly, "The Scepter of Life has recognized a new master. Everyone, pay your respects to the new Tianqin Empress."
Boom!
Everyone exploded.
Everyone's ears were ringing, and they saw stars. There were even snowflakes in front of their eyes, as if they were in the clouds.
The words that came out of Qin Liuyun's mouth were like a heavy bomb that instantly exploded among the crowd, causing everyone to be at a loss.
Qin Xuanqing's vision darkened, and he did not even know where he was. He really did not understand why the Tianqin Empress would change hands out of nowhere. Moreover, it was someone who was impossible to be the Tianqin Empress.
Qin Liuyin's eyes were wide open, and she was in a daze. Her mouth was wide open, and she did not know where she was.
Everyone felt as if they were in the clouds, and they were at a loss.
Qin Liuyun sighed inwardly. She knew that everyone would have such a reaction.
However, this was also reasonable. Who would have thought of such a change? However, even he would never have thought that he would end up like this before he stepped into the void.
However, what was done could not be undone, and the outcome could not be changed. For the sake of the Tianqin Clan, this was the best choice.
"Show us the vital star." She looked at Yang Xuan and reminded him in a low voice.
Yang Xuan took a deep breath. At this moment, he also somewhat understood Qin Liuyun's actions.
Other than this, there was really no other way.
A huge amount of vitality began to flow back, and the white jade scepter appeared in Yang Xuan's hand, trembling gently.
Then, a palm-sized ball of clear water slowly appeared at the tip of the white jade scepter.
A gust of clear energy began to spread among the crowd like a breeze. It was warm and soft, making everyone feel as if they were in a hot spring.
Gradually, the confusion, dullness, and doubt on everyone's faces slowly dissipated.
The appearance of the vital star meant that the man holding the scepter was the new Tianqin Empress. There was no doubt about it.
He might be the only male Empress in the history of the Tianqin Clan, and he might also be the only Tianqin Empress who was not a member of the Tianqin Clan.
However, it did not matter.
Being recognized by the vital star was already a problem. From this moment on, the new Tianqin Empress was a member of the Tianqin Clan, and no one dared to doubt it.
They did not know what had happened in between, but the appearance of the vital star did not require any explanation.
The first to kneel was Qin Xuanqing.
He knelt on one knee with his head lowered. The first word contained hesitation, but from the second word onwards, only determination remained.
"Greetings … Empress," he said.
"Greetings, Empress."
The second to kneel was a priest.
He had been with the Empress for a long time and was familiar with the vital star's power, so he recognized the man's identity before Qin Xuanqing.
He was indeed the rightful successor of the Tianqin Empress who had been recognized by the Scepter of Life. There was no doubt about it.
"Greetings, Empress!" The four priests knelt down and accepted the new arrangement.
"Greetings, Empress!" The eight Tianqin Elders, including Qin Xuanqing, also knelt down and accepted the new Empress.
The Tianqin Empress, who was wearing an imperial robe, sighed and knelt down on one knee. She said in a low voice, "Greetings, Empress."
She was the one who had the least right to speak out.
The succession of the throne was only a matter of a word from the Empress.
The last to kneel was Qin Liuyin. Even now, she still felt like she was in a dream and could not come back to her senses.
How did this detestable enemy become the Empress for no reason?
However, even though she had ten thousand doubts in her heart, she did not dare to question the Scepter of Life's decision, so she could only kneel down.
"Greetings, Empress!" Everyone's voices came together and shook the entire palace.
Qin Liuyun sighed in relief and looked at Yang Xuan, indicating for him to say something.
Even now, Yang Xuan was still in disbelief. Even he himself could not accept this new identity.
However, he was not afraid. This kind of situation naturally could not intimidate him.
He took a deep breath and said indifferently, "Rise!"
