After the Celestial Transcendent revealed himself, the people knelt and were allowed to rise quickly, with further instructions not to concern themselves with his presence and to continue the ceremony.
The Emporium Sovereign then hastily took the Celestial Transcendent, Zest Hyluan, and the Virtuous Dawn Realm Master to a special accommodation where he had been initially present, watching the procession and ceremony with much scrutiny.
Once the parties settled in their seats, the Emporium Sovereign directly knelt on the floor, cupping his hands.
"Supreme One, my True Peak Emporium and I are incredibly honored to be graced by your presence. I didn't expect your majesty to come. Otherwise, I would-"
"Don't bother."
