After saying that, Huaijin turned and left.

Huaijin had never treated her with such coldness, even abandoning her.

As Fu Sheng watched Huai Jin's retreating figure, she felt as if her heart was being wrapped in soft, damp cotton, tightening around her. There wasn't a sharp pain, but rather an inescapable feeling of suffocation.

She never saw Huaijin's back.

In the past, every time they parted, Huaijin would stand in the same spot and watch her leave.

This was the first time she had ever seen Huaijin's back...

The moment Huai Jin completely disappeared from the hall, Fu Sheng felt as if her spine had been removed, and all her strength vanished. She supported herself with the chair, lowering her head to hide her expression.

She didn't think she had done anything wrong.

Even now, there isn't one.

She can carry these sins for the rest of her life.

But she did nothing wrong.

She firmly believed that she had made the right choice.

But why... am I so sad?

-

That day, Huaijin left Shenque.

Fu Sheng didn't summon the celestial attendant until the next day to inquire about Huai Jin's whereabouts. The attendant eventually brought back the gatekeeper to report, and only then did they learn that after leaving the palace that day, Huai Jin went directly through the main gate and left through the Divine Palace.

Huaijin was the most trusted person by the God, and he could enter and leave the Divine Palace at will without an imperial edict—this was a right granted to him by the God.

The celestial attendant clearly sensed the sudden freeze in the atmosphere of the palace after the gatekeeper finished reporting.

The gatekeeper below, realizing the situation was dire, was now too afraid to even breathe.

Those who serve by God's side must all be extremely knowledgeable and perceptive of God.

Seeing the displeasure on the God Lord's face, the celestial attendant cautiously asked, "God Lord... should I send a celestial protector to fetch the Holy Judge back?"

The Holy Judge – this title had never existed before; it was created by the God specifically for Huai Jin. It represents the power of divine judgment. Following the God not only has the duty to protect the God, but also means that in certain situations, one can exercise the power of judgment on behalf of the God.

This is a position that is truly second only to one god and above all other gods, possessing extremely high power and prestige.

When the God Lord first bestowed this title upon Huai Jin, the entire Immortal Realm was greatly shaken. Many immortals and gods submitted memorials saying it was inappropriate, since the power and status of this position were too high and not something that Huai Jin, an attendant of unknown origin, could hold. The reason he was called an attendant was because he did not even possess the power of an immortal or god, and was not even an immortal servant.

Even though many gods and immortals expressed their dissatisfaction, the God Lord still overruled the objections and gave Huai Jin the position.

At first, many of the two immortals were watching Huai Jin closely, fearing that he was unworthy of his position and that he might have ulterior motives.

Although Huai Jin was given this position by the God Lord, he hardly ever used his authority. He continued to follow the God Lord as always, just like his previous personal attendant. It seemed that the title of 'Holy Judge' was just a change in name for him.

During his decades in office, Huai Jin never used his position to do anything that would harm the realm of immortals and gods. In fact, during a previous war between immortals and demons, Huai Jin single-handedly broke through the encirclement and saved the severely injured God Lord—no one knew how Huai Jin did it, except for the God Lord himself.

Since that war, Huai Jin's character and strength have completely silenced the gods and immortals, who willingly acknowledge him as 'Holy Judge'.
