After Huang Tian woke up, he ignored Qian Renxue who was still sleeping soundly on the bed. He got up and went to the bathroom to wash up. Then he walked out of the room and teleported to the Shura Valley Workshop.
Huang Tian's sudden appearance startled the numerous blacksmiths and spirit masters present. They half-knelt on the ground, placed their right hands on their left chests, lowered their heads and said respectfully:
"This subordinate greets the Palace Master."
"I will join you, Palace Master."
"I will join you, Palace Master."
The sounds rose and fell, each wave getting louder than the last.
Seeing them half-kneeling on the ground again, Huang Tian frowned. Hadn't they agreed on this before? A man's knees are made of gold; he shouldn't kneel to heaven, earth, or the emperor, but only to his parents. Why are they doing this again after only two months of not having their period? He said dissatisfiedly, "Get up, everyone! Who told you to kneel? Do I need to repeat it? Everyone in Yanhuang Palace should kneel not to heaven, earth, or the emperor, but only to their parents. Why are you still kneeling here? Stand up and straighten yourselves!"
"Yes." All the people squatting on the ground stood up, looking at Huang Tian enthusiastically, waiting for his next instruction.
"Palace Master, you are here. My subordinates were in a meeting and were unable to come out to greet you in time."
Tang Hao, Zhang Tianning and other Titled Douluo who were researching soul guide technology ran out from the deepest room in the workshop. They placed their right hands on their left chests, lowered their heads, bowed, stood up straight and spoke.
"Zhang Tianning, you are the Grand Elder who oversees all matters. Tell me why they are still half-kneeling on the ground to greet me? Didn't I tell you? Everyone in my Yanhuang Palace doesn't kneel to heaven, earth, or the emperor, but only to their parents. When they see me, they just need to clasp their fists and salute!"
Huang Tian glared at Zhang Tianning coldly and said dissatisfiedly, "Just because I'm not in Shura Valley, don't you, Zhang Tianning, take what I said seriously? Don't you follow through with it?"
Zhang Tianning was frightened by Huang Tian's words. Seeing him glaring at him like that, he broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly defended himself, "I did tell them, but you are the supreme god, the great being who gave them rebirth. That's why they respect you so much that they half-kneeled to greet you."
Huang Tian snorted coldly, pointed at a blacksmith and asked, "Tell me, is this true?"
The blacksmith, whose name was called, was immediately overjoyed. This was a chance to speak face to face with the great deity. He excitedly said, "Yes, Palace Master, you are the great deity who changed our destiny. Although you told us not to kneel before you, we feel that kneeling is the most solemn etiquette. The Great Elder has repeatedly told us that we only need to clasp our fists and salute when we greet you, but we still feel that kneeling is more appropriate. Finally, we discussed it behind the backs of the elders and decided that when you arrive, we will all greet you with a half-kneeling salute."
Huang Tian heard the blacksmith's words and wondered if it was really as he said, that they had discussed it privately. No, I can't just listen to one person's words, I need to find more people to ask.
He pointed at a spirit master more than ten meters away and said, "Just now you half-knelt to greet me. Tell me, was this your own initiative or was it requested by the Great Elder?"
The soul master who was named said in surprise: "Master Palace Master, all of this is our own initiative." The Palace Master called his name, and he was so excited. After the meeting, he would share his joy with others. He wanted to make them envy and jealous that I could talk to the Palace Master.
"You say it."
“It was all our own initiative.”
"You say it."
“It was all our own initiative.”
After asking more than a dozen people present, Huang Tian got the same answer from each of them. Only then did he confirm that the half-kneeling etiquette to greet him was spontaneous. However, he did not want this etiquette.
Huang Tian paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. After a few seconds of silence, he said loudly, "I don't like this half-kneeling ceremony. I'm not an omnipotent god. I can't give you more than you want, and I very likely can't fully protect you. This makes me feel ashamed. I don't deserve such a precious kneeling ceremony from you. Next time I come, I hope I can see you greet me with a fist-clasping ceremony. Do you understand?"
"Understood." Everyone shouted.
"Very good, you can all disband and return to your posts and do your work well."
Huang Tian stopped pacing and said loudly to everyone, work is important, they can't just stand here all the time. What he hates most is formalism. Everyone should just do what they should do and work seriously.
Everyone present immediately dispersed and returned to their posts. The blacksmiths continued to forge iron, and the patrols continued to patrol.
"People from the Soul Guidance Department, take me to see your latest achievements." Huang Tian thought for a moment and said quickly. Since he was already here, how could he not check out their research progress?
Tang Hao smiled and said, "Palace Master, please follow us and we will show you our latest research progress." He made a gesture of invitation with his right hand and took the initiative to lead the way.
After walking over three hundred meters and crossing seven thresholds, they arrived at a large workshop. Tang Hao smiled and said, "Elder Zhang, now it's your turn to brief the Palace Master on their progress."
Zhang Tianning was suddenly called by Tang Hao. He knew that he was going to give him an opportunity to show his abilities. He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and said with a smile, "Palace Master, the place we are in now is the office of the Space Soul Guidance Instrument Research Group. Over this period of time, the Space Soul Guidance Instrument Group has successfully created several types of Space Soul Guidance Instruments, such as space bracelets, wristbands, space rings, space earrings, space necklaces, etc.
