At the entrance to Chenriver Palace, the arrival of the reigning Emperor sent shockwaves through everyone gathered in the core zone. All eyes turned in anticipation, each face filled with utmost reverence—the scene was as grand as it could possibly be.
The Chenriver Empire was vast beyond measure.
This star-realm nation spanned over a thousand planetary systems.
Now, with the Emperor personally arriving at Chenriver Palace, even beings of the Stellar Palace Tier had to show absolute respect. For the Emperor was a noble Void Rift Tier existence, ruling the starry skies and wielding power that surpassed the cosmos itself.
"The Emperor is here!"
"Where is the Emperor now? Why aren't we allowed to greet him at the entrance?"
"The current Emperor is a Commonline Human and dislikes these cumbersome formalities. That's why he ordered us to simply wait quietly here."
The cultivation geniuses couldn't help but use voice transmission to discuss among themselves.
Ahead of them stood a line of Stellar Palace Tier beings, each radiating immense power.
All members of Chenriver Palace had mobilized—even Andrew Han, who was in seclusion, was present. He stood side by side with Third Princess Mora at the very front of the cultivation geniuses, just behind the ranks of Stellar Palace Tier beings.
The arrangement of positions—front and back—was of course deliberate.
Even though Andrew Han was considered invincible at the Starlight Tier, he was still far from matching the Stellar Palace Tier—at least, that was the consensus among most present.
So Andrew Han merely stood at the forefront of the many cultivation geniuses.
Beside him.
Mora lifted the hem of her dress and softly said, "Andrew, you probably didn't expect my father to come in person, did you?"
Her father was the current Emperor.
Andrew nodded, admitting he hadn't expected it. "Mm."
In his mind, the Emperor should be busy with countless affairs—how could he casually leave the imperial treasure hall? Moreover, with his status, any outing carried risks... Andrew had momentarily forgotten that this was a star-realm nation, and the Emperor himself was a Void Rift Tier existence.
The Emperor of a star-realm nation and an emperor of a mortal dynasty were two entirely different concepts.
"Emperor—Void Rift Tier."
Andrew Han exhaled softly. He had read about the life and achievements of the current Emperor.
To rise from a Commonline Human to the imperial throne, and then advance to Void Rift Tier during his reign—he was a model of success in the vast starry skies, admired and envied by countless people.
In the nebula space, there was a medium for transmitting sound.
Filaments of matter floated all around. Not far away, the Chenriver Giant Tower shone brilliantly as everyone waited quietly. Amid the solemn welcoming ceremony, Mora glanced around and quietly sent a voice transmission.
"Andrew Han."
"I think my father came here this time for you... Zhen Gu—that's my father's name."
Mora lifted her long dress and glanced at Andrew Han.
Her round face grew a little serious. Mora once again reminded Andrew Han about the Emperor's usual preferences, lest he accidentally offend him.
"Mm, thank you." Andrew Han nodded thoughtfully.
From this, it seemed that the Third Princess's true name should be Zhen Mora. Only those who reached the Stellar Palace Tier, however, were deemed worthy by Emperor Zhen Gu to bear his surname.
