Arranged marriages are important matters.
When the three planets learned that Zheng Ya was going to form a marriage alliance with a powerful family on the Qian Yuan Continent, they all decorated their homes with lanterns and colorful decorations and celebrated in a grand manner.
In particular, the Four Directions Planet welcomed the Eagle King himself and the spies sent by the Ning King. People all over the world were grateful to Zheng Ya and went all out to celebrate the occasion, making everything red and festive.
Eagle King didn't seem to care about Leng Xue's cold-bloodedness; instead, he increased his recruitment of people with superpowers.
As for the marriage alliance between Zheng Ya and the Ning Prince's lineage, everything had been arranged in advance, so his absence made it easier to explain, and he didn't need to worry about it.
Little did people know that the people he recruited were basically people arranged by the Empress Dowager and the retired emperor.
The two had always been self-reliant, and their complaints were already widespread, causing them great distress and giving rise to thoughts of rebellion.
They were all former superiors and rulers. Whether it was their inability to bear the humiliation of their dignity or their desire for enjoyment and aversion to work, coupled with the pressure from outsiders, they were driven to a path of no return.
Emperor Chengping was busy assisting Daiyu in handling the affairs of the Four Planets and neglected their secret plans.
A conspiracy is brewing.
On this day, Zheng Ya changed into a bright red dress and, surrounded by his relatives and friends, boarded a starship. He flew out in a trail of bright red ribbons and arrived above Wangyue Star, where the Eagle King and the Prince of Ning were stationed. His strategist acted as the master of ceremonies and led the complicated marriage procedures.
The entire process is high-energy, recorded from all angles without any blind spots, and broadcast live to the Qian Yuan Continent for notarization and recognition.
The whole process almost drove Zheng Ya crazy; his face was stiff from smiling so much.
Unfortunately, members of the Eagle King's faction were stirring up trouble and making a fuss.
However, in such formal settings, they only offered verbal warnings and vented their frustrations; they didn't dare to actually cause trouble.
However, there are endless discussions about cursing the legitimate daughters of Prince Ning's lineage to commit adultery and die violent deaths.
The fact that they dare to do this in public proves that the irreconcilable conflict between the two systems has reached the stage of preparing for war.
At this moment, the strategist waved his hand, and the etiquette dance troupe finished their performance and stepped down. Then, the strategist emcee walked onto the stage and announced, "Shall we invite the groom to present his gift?"
The so-called "presentation of gifts" refers to the display of betrothal gifts.
Zheng Ya's rise from humble beginnings led to a power struggle between the two major factions, making him a tool in their efforts to win over the other side, resulting in an unprecedented scale of this marriage alliance.
Even though fewer than 30,000 people participated in the marriage ceremony on Zheng Ya's side, more than 3 trillion people watched their live video broadcast on the Qian Yuan Continent.
The vast majority of these people are seventh-level or higher ability users.
Undercurrents were running between them, and minor conflicts were frequent.
In the very process of arguing over the outcome of this marriage alliance, the two sides resorted to more than 30 million acts of assassination, raids, and framing, pushing the alliance to the stage of a decisive battle.
At the marriage ceremony, Zheng Ya walked through the air to the virtual master of ceremonies platform. A large red carpet and exotic treasures appeared on the platform. He turned to face the audience and waved, saying, "This small betrothal gift is not much of a token of my respect. I hope the four great families will accept it with pleasure."
"The betrothal gifts—the Phoenix Hairpin, the Heart of the Red Lotus, the Five-Colored Immortal Robe, and the Red Phoenix Ribbon—have been delivered. May the Four Great Families return the favor?" The strategist shouted excitedly.
The so-called return gift consisted of one representative from each of the four great families stepping onto the stage, lighting three incense sticks, holding them in their hands, bowing three times to the sky, and then sending the three incense sticks flying into the air with a "hum".
The four great families of Qian Yuan Continent responded by sending their daughters off to marry, and twelve of them made their grand entrance.
Everyone was dressed in bright red wedding attire and appeared out of nowhere on the master of ceremonies' stage.
Four representatives from the four great families stepped forward to accept the betrothal gifts, completing the marriage ceremony and receiving official certification from the Tower of Babel. Fireworks exploded out of thin air, congratulating the couple on their marriage and wishing them many children and blessings!
The nine-character firework lingered in the sky, refusing to dissipate.
It symbolizes longevity and eternal prosperity!
This left Zheng Ya completely bewildered and confused.
Next came welcoming the marriage partner home, which left Zheng Ya completely bewildered. Only after his advisor explained did he understand the gist of it: the marriage ceremony was the same as the wedding.
As for the Starry Sky Inspector's wedding, that requires official approval from the Tower of Babel and passing an assessment before proceeding to the next step.
To put it simply, it involves joint inspection and review with the Starry Sky Inspectors.
The details of the review are unknown.
Known facts: outstanding political achievements, harmonious marriage, and numerous offspring.
It may seem simple, but the continuation of offspring alone requires that the parents possess exceptional talents, so that the parents and children can rise in status because of the mother and the father, proving that there are successors, and only then can it be called continuation.
It's not about having many children and not counting mediocre talents.
A harmonious marriage, where the husband and wife are in sync, emphasizes eternal unity. It is true love achieved through the fusion of souls, reaching a state of spiritual resonance in accordance with the principles of Yin and Yang. Only then can it be called a harmonious marriage; otherwise, they are not a real couple.
Couples who are only dating briefly are not considered to have a wedding ceremony.
As for his outstanding political achievements, it's easy to understand: he truly brought the vast expanse of space, spanning billions of light-years, to prosperity, and trained over three thousand seventh-order talents, with a time limit of one hundred years.
This clearly indicates that the selection process for the Tower of Babel was prepared by the official decision-making body.
Throughout history, very few people have been able to achieve this.
If the above three conditions cannot be met, all marriages are just a pipe dream.
This implies to all the officials of the Tower of Babel that failing to meet the standards means a life of illusion, and the chance for resurrection lies in nurturing the next generation.
Since life is just a fleeting illusion, why bother with a formal wedding?
Legend has it that the high-ranking officials of the Tower of Babel are working tirelessly to cultivate talent, fight against evil spirits, and strive for eternal immortality.
Specific details are unknown!
Zheng Ya was completely confused. Leading his twelve brides, along with the master of ceremonies and tens of thousands of people offering their blessings, they slowly flew towards Zheng Ya's Four-Sided Fortress on a large red carpet.
This process is still being broadcast live.
The salutes from the official Tower of Babel, bearing the nine-character blessing mantra, are said to remain suspended in the air for nine days before disappearing.
The wedding procession exceeded ten thousand people, all of whom were powerful beings who sent out their extraordinary treasures and avatars to demonstrate their strength, forming a grand procession.
However, halfway through, they encountered a cosmic vortex, accompanied by a cloud of gray gas that obscured their vision.
"They're here!" Zheng Ya's heart skipped a beat. He immediately used a spacetime illusion technique to send out twelve hastily made brides to replace the original brides standing beside and behind him. He immediately felt dizzy and about to fall into a coma. He urgently activated his time-speed ability to rush back and check what was going on.
You won't believe it until you see it, and what you find will shock you.
The entire wedding procession was trapped in a gray, gaseous fog, spinning in circles without the participants noticing, and somehow they were turned into wooden puppets.
Outside the shroud of gas, masked men were engaged in a battle of magic.
Perhaps due to restrictions imposed by the Tower of Babel, they were prohibited from engaging in war or using evil means to incur severe punishment. Therefore, they resorted to mental magic to fight, along with a variety of permitted drugs such as aphrodisiacs.
The wedding procession turned into a live sex show, an eyesore.
Someone was secretly recording the video.
When gods clash, mortals suffer.
The Eagle King's faction, with its 760 peak-level ability users, became scapegoats, while the Ning King's faction, with fewer members, was forced to take the hits.
However, the wedding procession from the Qian Yuan Continent put on a live sex show.
This sent chills down Zheng Ya's spine. This charade really had nothing to do with me.
