"Elder Luo, the commotion caused by your grandson's birth is really a bit too much."
"Indeed, it's quite excessive,"
"It's preposterous, we told you to act, but now it's so exaggerated that foreign powers are bound to become suspicious."
The nine people who stood at the pinnacle of power in Great Xia were engaged in a video conference,
Within Luo Tiance's modest room, virtual images of the other eight individuals were projected,
Liu Shengji kept chuckling bitterly, feeling that the omens surrounding his grandson's birth had been made far too grand by Luo Tiance.
There's no need to be so dramatic in one's acting,
Cao Xiong, Zhu Wushi and others were also nodding their heads in agreement,
Zhao Yingtian couldn't help but say:
"Elder Luo, I don't mean to criticize you, but"
"Not even the emergence of a god would be as exaggerated as a child's birth creating such a ruckus, let alone a child's."
The eight major leaders of Great Xia usually didn't talk so much, but this time they just couldn't help but complain,
"The phenomenon was indeed very lifelike and the momentum quite scary, enough to shock everyone's jaw to the floor,"
"But on second thought, not even the birth of a Saint had such fanfare."
"Moreover, with such an explosive start, how are we supposed to follow up and continue to perform the identity of this unparalleled God's Child?"
"This has indeed posed a tough challenge for us,"
Zhu Wushi glared and said, "Elder Luo! Why won't you speak, speak up!"
"You've been blabbering for so long, not even giving me a chance to talk."
Compared to everyone else's anxious urgency, Luo Tiance seemed quite serene,
"Go ahead, I want to see how you'll solve the problem of your grandson continuing this performance."
"Such a terrifying birth omen requires some extraordinary feats later on, or else the other powers in the world surely won't believe us."
"Eventually, our Great Xia will become the laughing stock of the world,"
"I'm sure you must understand the serious implications here, so how could you be so rash and muddled in this event?" Cao Xiong said with a look of deep regret, clutching his heart.
Liu Shengji and the others by his side also twitched their teeth in pain, still able to recall the magnificent scene earlier,
How had they never realized before that Elder Luo had more imagination than even blockbuster film directors?
The performance was just ludicrous!
"Elder Cao, are you trying to teach me how to do things?" Luo Tiance said, staring at Cao Xiong with a ghostly look,
Cao Xiong felt a chill running down his spine, his palms sweating,
He said, "That's not what I meant, there's no turning back now. Since it's already been blown out of proportion, we have to think of some remedial measures."
"Measures?" Luo Tiance's eyebrows lifted in a cold arc, then a smile spread across his lips, eventually bursting into a loud laugh, "What measures do we need?"
The sudden laughter left the eight other top brass in Great Xia utterly dumbfounded,
Amid such a tense situation, what's there to laugh about?
No way, Elder Luo couldn't have gone mad from the pressure, could he?
What is this… How can he laugh at a time like this?
The virtual images projected everyone's expressions with pinpoint accuracy, allowing Luo Tiance to instantly understand their emotions,
He explained:
"I might as well tell you the truth."
"In fact, this time I didn't use the Huanling Pearl or the Energy Storage Jade Pendant at all,"
"You used some other treasure?" Cao Xiong chimed in.
Luo Tiance shook his head, his smile fading as he looked gravely at the others,
"Still don't understand?"
"My grandson truly has a once-in-an-era talent, the makings of a great emperor. He stirred the elements upon his birth, and he will undoubtedly have an extraordinary future."
"Now, Great Xia truly has hope,"
Despite his earnest statement, the other eight people remained skeptical, with gaping mouths or puzzled expressions staring at Luo Tiance,
Cao Xiong waved his hand from the other side,
"Elder Luo, you can't possibly be too engrossed in this role, planning to continue the act even in front of us eight,"
Liu Shengji hesitated, "How much fake alcohol did you drink to be like this..."
Zhu Wushi shook his head,
"Could this be the legendary highest realm of acting, even deceiving oneself?"
"Elder Luo, snap out of it!"
"You don't have any unparalleled grandson, it's all just an act,"
Seeing how each of them refused to be convinced, Luo Tiance felt a surge of blood rushing to his head,
He shouted:
"How many years have I fought on the battlefield to joke about this with you?"
"I'll emphasize it again, my..."
"Grandson!"
"Is freaking awesome!!!"
Once he realized just how formidable Luo Yu's innate talent was, Luo Tiance, who already exhibited favoritism towards his grandson, became an unabashed grandson promoter,
The eight people were initially startled; then their anthropomorphized virtual images inside the room looked at each other, all seeing skepticism in one another's eyes,
Liu Shengji said, "Elder Luo, no way, you aren't planning to put on a full show for us indefinitely, are you?"
Zhu Wushi sarcastically said with a twitching mouth:
"A purple aura surges from the east for countless miles, continuous natural omens occur, golden light covers the sky, the Four Great Holy Beasts bring their blessings, if your grandson truly has such ability, I'd acknowledge him as my grandson instead."
"Yeah, it's not that we're unwilling to believe you, it's just that this is fundamentally impossible,"
Cao Xiong said, "Look, Elder Luo, How about this, you bring your grandson over, have him show his divine prowess in front of us once more, and then we will believe you."
Luo Tiance glared with his eyes wide, couldn't contain his anger, and stormed to his son's side to pick up the sleeping baby from the swaddle,
"Good Xiao Yu, wake up for a moment,"
"Show these old guys our capabilities,"
The other eight powerhouses of Great Xia looked on as if they'd seen a ghost; when had they ever experienced Luo Tiance speaking so softly, even cooing in a flattering manner,
Is this the legendary grandson slave?
After Luo Tiance gently called for some time, the delicate baby barely cracked his sleepy eyes open, revealing shiny, button-like dark pupils,
