For the world at large, the death of a woman named Du Sumin was a small, insignificant event.
As for Du Youqian, her departure wouldn't have any major impact on him either.
At most, it brought a fleeting moment of melancholy, a touch of sadness.
But he quickly regained his composure.
After all, in a life that now spanned over seven hundred years, he had gained and lost far too much. The people who rushed into his life only to rush out again were simply too many to count.
Du Youqian attended Du Sumin's funeral briefly before returning to Grass Tower Temple to begin preparations for the major event to come.
Soon, the Celestial Master's messengers dispatched notices to every country.
It was decreed that on a specific day three months from now, the Nine Countries would simultaneously worship Heaven and Earth!
This would be nothing like the minor affair of the Celestial Master's sixtieth birthday celebration from years past.
