The entire scene was extremely busy, so much so that no one noticed Rod's return to Trolian for a moment.
Until Qingyu emerged from the Holy Fire, her gaze immediately found Rod standing in the crowd.
"Rod, you've returned?"
The voice of surprise echoed through the Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground, instantaneously silencing the scene as everyone turned their attention, eventually focusing on Rod.
"Yes."
Rod said with a smile.
"I've returned."
The next second, a cacophony of noise erupted as countless people put down their work and rushed toward Rod, even those from Saint Longde were no exception.
During this time, they had heard Rod's name countless times, but very few had actually seen him in person.
Rod did not shy away, enthusiastically waving and smiling at everyone, mingling with the crowd.
Only when the senior officials from Saint Longde who came with him urged them did they reluctantly return to their work.
