My Core is the Boss

Ye Liuyun stepped forward. Many gazes immediately settled on him.

All the attending ancient gods came from nearby regions. Most of them knew one another, at least by reputation. By contrast, both Qi Yuan and Ye Liuyun were complete strangers to them.

Thus, Ye Liuyun’s initiative naturally piqued their curiosity. Ye Liuyun stopped before a Ningxiang Cui bud. Its bud was jade-green in color, and it exuded a faint, exotic fragrance. Back when Great Venerable Qionghua attained the Dao, she most enjoyed keeping a pot of Ningxiang Cui by her bedside. Closing his eyes, Ye Liuyun began his visualization.

Around him, murmurs quickly arose.

"Trying Ningxiang Cui right off the bat? This man's got some nerve."

"Venerable Wuqian, if I remember correctly, you tried to awaken Ningxiang Cui at the last Hundred Flowers Gathering and failed."

"It is too hard. Starting with Ningxiang Cui... Whoever this True God is, he's bold to the point of recklessness."

"If he fails, that'll be a real embarrassment."

After all, most True Gods began with the simplest flowers. Failing on the very first attempt would be awkward. Worse, it would make them look bad in front of the host.

Qi Yuan stood to the side, watching with interest. "Would they judge me if I went up too?"

Qi Qi smiled brightly. "Who would dare question Godfather?"

Qi Yuan chuckled. As a mere spectator, seeing Ye Liuyun being judged was oddly entertaining. Such scenes were common everywhere, whether on Blue Planet or across countless worlds. As long as a discussion wasn't tightly controlled, posting anything even slightly controversial was guaranteed to draw all kinds of reactions. Just like these bickering True Gods.
