Author's Note: Mass update part 2! Sorry for the long wait! I was trying to get back my writing mood, and I fortunately did!

For those who started reading my new book, once again, thank you very much for the support ❤.

“What are those angels doing?” 

A young man with red sclera and black irises asked, the black, spiky wings on his back fluttering slightly in curiosity. 

“Ah, that,” the older devil beside him paused, looking at the scene that the young devil pointed to. “The angels do this every hundred years, to pay their respects to the previous Supreme Gods and their families. Though, only a few are chosen.” 

“But, why do they have to pay their respects at our border?” 

“You idiot,” the older devil knocked the young devil on the head. “This isn’t our border, it’s shared, a neutral zone.”

The young devil winced, looking back at the scene again. 

It was a mystical sight. 

The land was vast, the green grassy pasture contradicting against the sheer stark white outfits of the angels. Thousands of them followed in one line, all of them donning white robes, hairs of various colours cascading down their waists. 

The line was guided by a handsome ash-blonde long haired man at the front, and beside him were two servants carrying two boxes in their hands. 

“Ah, that’s the next Supreme God, isn’t it?” 

The older devil nodded, his face inscrutable. 

Meanwhile, the Supreme God himself seemed to be somewhat fidgety, a frown on his face. He kept glancing towards the line from time to time, stretching his head as if looking for someone. 

“Supreme God.” 

Xue blinked his grey eyes, still not accustomed to be called by that title after a hundred years. After all, he did not find himself worthy of the title.

“Wh-what?” Xue questioned, before he cleared his throat. “I mean, what is it?” 

“Is there an urgent matter you need to attend to?” 

“No, of course not, of course not,” Xue forced a smile, laughing slightly as he bluffed. “Don’t mind me, I am simply...nervous.” 

“Nervous?”

“Yes, nervous.” 

The servant beside Xue seemed to chuckle slightly, before he gasped and bowed. 

“Pardon my rudeness, I didn't mean to laugh--” 

“It’s fine, it’s fine!” Xue grinned toothily, scratching his head. “You don’t need to be so uptight around me…” 

“Understood, Supreme God.” 

Xue felt a drop of sweat rolling down his face, his smile faltering. 

Stop calling me that too. 

I have a name. 

“Oh, Supreme God,” the other servant spoke up. “I do not seem to see...K’xug around.” 

Xue made a face. 

Yet you guys call my personal assistant by his name, even though he is practically in the same position of power as me. 

Tch. 

The next time I get the chance to change the rules of the heavenly realm, the first thing I would do is get people to stop calling me and bowing to me.
