Participants from all five races moved in and out of the hall. Primordials walked in with calm expressions. Devils strode out sneering at something they'd just heard. Spirit Race members gathered near the entrance, quietly exchanging information through glowing leaves of energy.
Angels stood in small groups, their golden halos casting gentle light over their elegant figures. Dragon Race geniuses leaned against the stone pillars outside, their scaled arms folded across their chests as they watched the crowd with beast-like patience.
The moment Max approached with Anna, Daniel, Damian, and Revona, several gazes turned toward them. Some recognized Anna. More recognized Daniel. Because Daniel stood there, the gazes landing on Max didn't linger too recklessly.
A few devils noticed his cultivation and flashed mocking smiles, but after spotting Daniel walking beside him, they quickly looked away. Even the curious ones didn't step forward to provoke him.
