The people present all felt the authority and oppression of the "Divine Lord" from Mo Hua, and they bowed respectfully, saying:
"We duly honor the name of the Divine Lord."
"We duly obey the command of the Witch Priest."
They had always held high positions, yet now all bowed in submission to Mo Hua. Though deeply calculating and inscrutable, their inner emotions were genuine—still filled with doubt, questioning, sardonic smiles, worries, or dissatisfaction.
Some were clearly unconvinced, believing Mo Hua to be abusing his authority and making a big deal out of small matters, foreseeing an eventual downfall.
The upper echelons of the Barbaric Wilderness were accustomed to scheming, with intense desires but shallow secrets, and their faith was unlikely to be steadfast.
These emotions were observed one by one by Mo Hua without a word.
Yet the Thick Earth Formation continued to be meticulously implemented under Mo Hua's divine governance.
