Although the Dongxia Republic does not endorse the worship of deities, people always find it difficult to avoid seeking a refuge or support for their empty and fragile hearts. Besides, those four Divine Pillars do indeed exist, occasionally descending to display their great power.
With the continuous influence spanning several millennia, the names of the four pillars gradually came to be revered by an increasing number of transcendent beings embarking on their respective paths.
Particularly within the psychic path, the majority would either submit to or worship under that radiant light, resembling a stellar body, which one could not look at directly.
Thus, when Chen Ruofu revealed that Qin Shi was chosen by the four gods, Representative Zhou immediately fell silent.
He couldn't possibly openly declare that the Divine Pillars' judgment was erroneous or that they had chosen the wrong person.
