In the mortal world, inside a Taoist temple.
Unlike other Taoist temples that enshrine beings like the Three Pure Ones, the central figure enshrined here is the Great Jade Emperor, seated naturally beside the Great Jade Emperor is the Empress.
Besides them, figures like the Four Heavenly Kings, Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li, and Third Prince Nezha are all positioned on the sides.
In appearance, it nearly replicates the seats of deities in the Lingxiao Hall of the Heavenly Court.
However, the figure of the Empress that originally sat beside the Jade Emperor has collapsed, leaving only a pile of shattered wood on the throne.
On this day, a little Taoist priest entered the hall, holding cleaning tools in his hands.
From the unexplained shattering of the Empress's statue, one could infer that the Empress had perished as a calamity unfolded.
"Alas, everyone strives for immortal cultivation, but even the Empress can fall. Does becoming an immortal truly mean anything?"
