The next day... Under bright suns with a gloomy atmosphere, the funeral for the emperor began in the eastern region of the capital Naraka.
Billions of people were out on the streets and watched the procession of the Emperor's coffin with a glass cover through the broadcast, similar to how they witnessed Kahn's coronation.
One could say that it was just as grand as the event that occurred two days ago, but instead of shock and excitement, it was the emotion of loss and grief.
All the powerful factions, the business corporations, and government officials also showed themselves as they collectively paid respect to the emperor who had passed away from his illness.
The body of the frail emperor reminded everyone that time stopped for no one. And even an almighty being, as a Peak 7th-stage saint, would fall to the annals of time.
