The Divine Officials worked with high efficiency. Upon receiving the Divine Emperor’s summons, they immediately set aside their tasks and hurried over with their young Divine Sons.
In the center of the Divine Hall, the Divine Officials stood quietly and orderly in attendance.
A moment later, the Divine Emperor, dressed in a magnificent moon-white robe embroidered with gold cloud patterns, took his seat on the high throne, holding the little Divine Son who wore a similarly styled moon-white robe adorned with silver lotus patterns.
The Divine Emperor and the Divine Son, one large and one small, were dressed in robes of the same color, their faces equally indifferent. Their golden, aloof eyes—one pair deep and profound, the other innocent and naive—looked as if they had been replicated in perfect proportion.
The Divine Officials were undoubtedly taken aback, for their mighty and noble Divine Emperor, who was known for his stern demeanor, was actually taking care of the little Divine Son.
Although the Divine Emperor’s expression remained largely unchanged, they could sense the gentleness hidden beneath his exterior.
How bizarre!
Several Divine Officials exchanged glances, their still youthful and handsome faces filled with confusion.
Luo Chen naturally noticed their reactions but said nothing more. Instead, he asked Zhaozhao in his arms, “Who do you want to keep you company?”
Since most of the God Clan were emotionally detached, many Divine Officials did not form Dao companions. As a result, only about seven or eight young Divine Sons had come this time.
They had inherited the God Clan’s excellent genes, each one looking as delicate and lovely as if carved from jade.
Seeing that Zhaozhao remained silent, Luo Chen rubbed his temples in frustration. “Forget it, let them all accompany you.”
As he spoke, his gaze sharpened, revealing the full authority of an emperor. He looked down at the Divine Officials and Divine Sons standing below and said in a calm tone, “Today, let the young Divine Sons accompany Zhaozhao for a while. How does that sound?”
How could the Divine Officials disagree? It was merely a matter of keeping a child company.
They had thought the Divine Emperor’s grand summons meant something major had happened, but it turned out to be such a trivial matter.
Seeing it was only a minor affair, the open-minded and cheerful Fire God chuckled and said, “I certainly have no objections. Let the young Divine Sons play together at their leisure.”
The other officials quickly followed suit in agreement.
“Very well,” Luo Chen nodded, setting Zhaozhao down and instructing Duanyu to take him to meet the other Divine Sons.
Meanwhile, he took the opportunity to discuss official matters with the Divine Officials.
On one side, the Divine Emperor and the Divine Officials were engaged in heated discussions, while on the other, the usually lively Divine Sons were all at a loss as they looked at Zhaozhao.
No matter how hard they tried to converse with him, he never uttered a single word.
His golden eyes held the same indifference as Luo Chen’s.
Duanyu stood by, watching the scene unfold. Seeing no other option, he reluctantly led Zhaozhao back to the Divine Hall.
Zhaozhao’s heart remained as still as water. Except for Luo Chen and Su Su, his emotions hardly fluctuated when facing others.
Zhaozhao himself saw no issue with this, but the system within his body grew increasingly curious about the host’s previous existence.
First, the host’s first transmigration world was the highest-level Divine Realm.
Second, the Main God had personally ordered the system to blur the host’s memories.
Third, the host possessed an emotional detachment comparable to that of an Intelligent System.
These three points were unprecedented. Although some hosts were emotionally detached, none were quite like Zhaozhao.
The system’s intelligent data displayed the host’s emotional fluctuations. Except for Luo Chen and Su Su, two Gods with whom he shared some connection, the fluctuation values were almost zero when facing others.
It was almost as if he weren’t a normal human being.
Watching his host, the system couldn’t help but worry and remind him.
【The host still has tasks to complete. Please keep this in mind at all times.】
It feared that the host’s emotional detachment might lead him to disregard the completion of his tasks.
However, Zhaozhao remained attentive to his tasks and obediently replied, “I remember.”
Now the system was reassured and stopped bothering its host.
Thus, the vast hall was left with only Zhaozhao once more.
Luo Chen came to visit Zhaozhao not long after.
He had heard from Duanyu that Zhaozhao refused to speak with the other Divine Sons.
Luo Chen had never seen a Divine Son so emotionally detached—over so many days, the number of times he had spoken could be counted on one hand, surpassing even his own demeanor from years past.
Yet, this was how a God should be.
With such a state of mind, one would not be swayed by emotions when facing crucial decisions, allowing for the most just choices to be made.
He thought, Zhaozhao was the true Chosen One.
