The night of the Liuyun Ceremony saw an unexpected throng of participants. Even Feng Yuan hadn't anticipated that besides the riverbanks, the surface of the river was also crowded with people. Although Maomu City had locked down the waters near Liuyun Temple, a large crowd still gathered outside the blockade, riding water-walking Spirit Beasts as if on land, just to witness the upcoming star lantern release with their own eyes.
With more than ten minutes remaining until the star lamps were released, not only was the river surface crowded, but the unblocked areas across the river were also filled with people. Observing this lively scene, Feng Yuan remarked in surprise,
"There's really a lot of people. Haven't they planned any measures to divert the crowd?"
"The star lamps can only be released at fixed times. Although it looks like there are many people, compared to the permanent residents of our city..."
