Throne of Gods: Divine thunder descends, and the Qilin descends upon the world!

Chapter 146 I want... no, you don't!

Suddenly, a rhythmic knocking sounded at the door, followed by the voices of Yang Haohan and Long Tianyin:

"It's us."

With a flick of her fingertips, Yuehui caused an invisible barrier to dissipate like a ripple.

"Please come in."

The door opened, and Long Tianyin and Yang Haohan walked in with heavy steps.

The two temple masters were pale, but had no external injuries.

"Grandpa." Yang Wenzhao tried to get up, but was struck by a wave of dizziness and swayed.

Chen Ying'er immediately reached out and supported his arm.

On the other side, Duan Yi gripped the armrest tightly, slowly and firmly straightened his body, and gave the two temple lords a standard knightly salute:
"See the Palace Master."

Long Tianyin and Yang Haohan nodded slightly. Then Yang Haohan looked at Yang Wenzhao with a serious expression: "Wenzhao, since the Demon Hunter Group has been disbanded, you should stay in Yulong Pass and join the Holy Knights."

Yang Wenzhao looked unwilling, his gaze unconsciously shifting to Yuehui and his group: "Grandpa, I want to join another demon-hunting group."

Upon hearing this, Duan Yi immediately realized, "That's exactly what I meant!"

As elites of the Knights' Temple and former commanders of a demon-hunting group, although their group disbanded due to the sacrifice of its members, they had another option—to join other demon-hunting groups as squires.

Yang Haohan clearly did not expect his grandson to be so persistent, even willing to be demoted to stay in the Demon Hunter Team system.

At this moment, Yuehui suddenly spoke up: "Brother Yang, Brother Duan, let's follow Palace Master Yang's arrangements."

"Does Commander Yue think we're not strong enough?" Yang Wenzhao asked anxiously. "We're already seventh-tier knights. We don't need merit points; we just want to continue fighting deep into the demon realm!"

Yuehui shook her head: "It's not that we look down on you, but the difference in strength is too great. The enemies we face are all demon gods, and you will only be in danger if you follow us."

"A demon god?!" Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi were both stunned.

Due to their severe injuries sustained on the way back from the demon camp, they had already fallen into a coma.

Even after returning to Yulong Pass and waking up after being treated by Lu Xi, he missed the awe-inspiring scene of Yuehui fighting the six great demon gods alone.

At this moment, a smug smile appeared on Chen Ying'er's lips.

“Yang, you big idiot,” she wagged her finger, her eyes gleaming with cunning, “we’re now an Emperor-level Demon Hunter Team! All of us are at the ninth rank, and we’ve already killed eleven demon gods. The most powerful one is ranked twelfth!”

She suddenly leaned closer to the stunned Yang Wenzhao, "So, until you catch up with us, you'd better stay here and guard the city gate!"

These words struck Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi like a thunderbolt.

The two men stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief—they hadn't been captured for very long!
(Ying'er is already a ninth-tier spirit medium?)
(How is this possible?!)

Seeing Yang Wenzhao's dumbfounded expression, Chen Ying'er was overjoyed.

(Finally, I've gotten my revenge for that arrow from back then!)

She quietly clenched her small fist; all the hardships she had endured over the years had been worth it at this moment.

"Commander Yue, is what Ying'er said true?" Yang Wenzhao's voice trembled slightly.

Moonlight nodded calmly: "We are indeed qualified to be promoted to the title level. Unless you reach the ninth rank, it is too dangerous for you to follow us."

These words seemed to drain all of Yang Wenzhao's strength, and he slumped back into his chair.

Although he couldn't understand how Moonbeam and the others had reached such heights in just a few years, he knew he wasn't qualified to join the team right now.

"You big idiot," Chen Ying'er said, softening her tone for once, and gently took his hand. "I believe you can catch up. I'll be waiting for you at the ninth level."

Yang Wenzhao took a deep breath, his gaze hardening again, and nodded vigorously.

At this moment, Long Haochen finally couldn't hold back any longer and quickly stepped forward.

His golden eyes trembled slightly, and his voice was choked with emotion: "Grandpa, are my father and mother alright?"

"They are all well." Long Tianyin rarely showed a kind smile, his eyes full of relief. "Xingyu has gone to support other passes, and your mother, Bai Yue, is in a city behind Yulong Pass. You can go see her now."

Long Haochen's eyes lit up with surprise, and he looked at Yuehui eagerly.

However, before Yuehui could respond, Yang Haohan suddenly called out in a deep voice:

"Han Yu! Long Haochen!"

The two men instinctively straightened their backs and performed a standard knightly salute.

"You have all advanced to the ninth rank, haven't you?" Yang Haohan's gaze was piercing.

"Yes!" the two replied in unison.

Yang Haohan nodded slightly: "Then, you are now qualified to attempt to communicate with the highest honor of the Knights' Temple—the Throne of Gods."

Han Yu and Long Haochen exchanged a glance, both seeing barely suppressed excitement in each other's eyes.

Having grown up surrounded by legends, the knights now have the chance to touch the highest glory they have pursued throughout their lives!

“Han Yu can give it a try, but I suggest waiting for Hao Chen,” Yuehui suddenly said.

Everyone was stunned upon hearing this, and they all turned to look at Yuehui.

“As the Son of Light, Hao Chen certainly possesses the qualifications to challenge the legendary Throne of Gods,” Yuehui explained.

"Although I don't know whether the trials of the Divine Throne will change with the challenger's cultivation level, the stronger the challenger, the greater the chance of success."

Upon hearing this explanation, a look of understanding flashed in the eyes of Long Tianyin and Yang Haohan.

"Commander Moonshine is right." Yang Haohan looked at Long Haochen solemnly. "Try again when your strength has improved further. Perhaps... you can become the first knight in the history of the Knights' Temple to obtain the supreme artifact, the Throne of the God of Eternity and Creation!"

"Palace Master, has no one in history ever successfully communicated with the Throne of the God of Eternity and Creation?" Long Haochen couldn't help but ask.

Yang Haohan's expression became complicated: "Indeed, some people have tried, but all have failed. Each Divine Throne is a divine artifact, possessing its own consciousness. Once you choose one to undergo the test, the other thrones will never respond to you again—"

His voice suddenly lowered, "Even someone like my brother Yang Haoyu, who had received initial recognition for the Eternal Throne, ultimately failed in the final test."

A determined light shone in Long Haochen's eyes: "I will definitely work even harder!"

"Alright, everyone go do your own thing." Moonlight looked around at everyone. "The demons shouldn't be attacking Dragon Pass anytime soon, so let's take this as a rare period of rest."

He specifically looked at Han Yu and said, "Go for it!"

Although according to the original timeline, Han Yu should have obtained the throne of the God of Fear and Sorrow, the appearance of the Moonbeam may have changed the course of his destiny.

"Understood!" Han Yu nodded solemnly.

He knew that any Divine Throne could bring about a qualitative leap in the team's strength, and he was naturally filled with anticipation.

As Chen Ying'er left with Yang Wenzhao, Long Haochen rushed to his mother, whom he hadn't seen for many years.

After Long Tianyin and Yang Haohan left with Han Yu and Duan Yi, only Yuehui, Cai'er, Wang Yuanyuan and Lu Xi remained in the room.

"Yuan Yuan, can we..."

"I'm sorry, you're a good person."

Before Lu Xi could finish speaking, Wang Yuanyuan abruptly interrupted him and walked out of the room without looking back.

"Sigh," Lu Xi sighed dejectedly, "Why is it so hard to find a partner?" After saying that, she left the room.

Now, only Yuehui and Cai'er remain in the room.

Moonlight gently embraced Cai'er's slender waist and whispered in her ear, "I want to."

"No! You don't want to!"
