Man on the ark, forced to become king

Among those people were countless heroes and valiant warriors. Some could ride ancient dragons, some were accompanied by mad fire, some were able to fight alongside many demigods, and some had even reached the supreme throne many years ago, only one step away from becoming king.

However, none of them succeeded.

Just one step away is an insurmountable chasm.

Of all the countless people, only Lin Lu ultimately reached the throne, and only he had the right to face the gods.

Other faded beings, no matter how powerful they are, are still within the realm of 'human,' and their power has its limits.

But Lin Lu was different. He devoured the blood and heart of the ancient dragon, incorporated the Flame God and the Mad Fire into his body, and combined gold and magic to master many secrets. He even devoured the power of many demigods and brought the fragments of the magic ring under his control.

By the time he reached the throne, he had already transcended the limits of humanity and embodied many sublime powers.

Therefore, he was able to kill the beast of Elden.

The so-called god-killing is actually the new god stepping on the corpses of the old gods to reach the top.

Even without leaving the border region, Lin Lu's power surpasses that of all previous Elden Kings. He is special, the most special among all the faded ones, and the one who can manipulate fate.

From the beginning, he did not exist as an appendage of the gods, but as a new god who usurped the authority of the gods.

If a comparison must be made, Wei Yanwu is like those other faded figures who chase the throne. He is strong, but his rank is not high enough, and the level of power he has mastered is not high enough. Therefore, he does not have the ability to face the gods directly and must rely on the blessing of the Golden Tree to move freely.

This is the terror of the gods. To put it bluntly, if Lani so desired, the will of the Dark Moon could instantly cover Lungmen, turning everyone into the Dark Moon's servants, or even completely annihilating people's will.

For the gods, 'destruction' is never a means that must be directly manifested. They have many ways to destroy a city or a country, rather than resorting to material destruction.

"How about it? Is the scene big enough?"

Lin Lu asked again, her tone and expression exactly the same as before.

Only then could Wei Yanwu truly feel that he was still himself. Suppressing the turbulent emotions in his heart, Lao Long nodded heavily, his voice extremely hoarse.

"Enough, enough, can we end this now?"

If this kind of scene isn't big enough, then what would qualify as a big scene?

Stars falling? The earth collapsing? Or a devastating thunderstorm?

Wei Yanwu felt that his imagination was limited and he couldn't imagine what a more magnificent and terrifying scene would be like. He just wanted it all to end as soon as possible.

The more you know, the more you fear.

He gained a deeper understanding of this statement.

Those who have never truly faced the whispers of the stars will never understand what that feels like.

In that instant, it was as if the whole world had become his enemy!

From the sky to the earth, from a wisp of breeze, a grain of dust, a blade of grass, to the endless stars hanging in the heavens, everything in the world seemed to come alive in his eyes, chattering incomprehensible and obscure words.

No matter how unwilling he was to admit it, Wei Yanwu knew clearly that he was afraid. This was the first time he had felt such a clear sense of 'fear' since the Koschke incident decades ago.

Because we know, we fear.

He knew what terror was hidden within that dark moon, and he also knew that ordinary people living within the Dragon Gate were far from being able to withstand such power.

Fear is understandable.

He was genuinely worried that a sudden outburst of power would drag the entire Dragon Gate into an abyss, and he even regretted agreeing to Lin Lu's crazy plan.

It was a grand spectacle, indeed a grand spectacle.

With the changing of the seasons and the sudden shift of the world, how could such a scene be considered "grand"?

To put it bluntly, this may be the greatest terror to ever appear on earth in recorded history!

As for whether he could attract any truly influential figures in the Yan Kingdom's court, Wei Yanwu was too lazy to even think about it.

If even this can't attract those old guys, then what would be enough? Would the entire Yan Kingdom face annihilation?

It's too big, too big.

Although it was supposed to be a big event, the scale of the event was so large that it was beyond our control.

When the detailed news and images reached the imperial court, Wei Yanwu had no doubt that the entire court would be in an uproar, and everyone's attention would be drawn to Longmen.

Moreover, the power of the Golden Tree is indeed sufficient to negotiate with the Yan Kingdom and ensure the safety of Longmen.

Nothing else is needed; just having Miss 'Lani' present is enough.

After witnessing the arrival of the Great Moon, Wei Yanwu even had a thought: had Miss Lani's power surpassed that of the complete 'Year Beast' that the court had been wary of until now?

As far as he knew, those fragments that split off could never do such a thing, and only the legendary Sui could barely touch it.

With such a deity presiding over them, even if the Golden Tree had no one else under its command, the Yan Kingdom could not ignore any of their demands.

When power reaches this level, it has already reached the level of a nation.

Not to mention, the Golden Tree also has Lin Lu...

When Lin Lu had just returned, Wei Yanwu jokingly asked if the Golden Tree was stronger after its advancement, and who was the strongest.

Lin Lu's answer was that, conceptually, the strongest was her wife Lani, but if judged purely by destructive power, then he was still the strongest.

Previously, Wei Yanwu did not have a clear understanding of this statement.

But after witnessing the rotation of the sun and moon, he vaguely realized that Lin Lu might mean that he could do something similar, or even... to display such terror in the form of pure destructive power.

That would be utterly appalling.

If that's the case, Yan Kingdom will probably have to consider whether it needs to send that old Celestial Master to have an equal exchange with them.

Possessing that power, they could wipe a city off the face of the earth in an instant. What would be a devastating natural disaster for ordinary people was nothing more than something that could be destroyed with a flick of the wrist.

To this day, humanity has not actually been able to fully control that level of power.

The Golden Tree, capable of achieving that level, is fully capable of being compared to the most powerful nations on this land.

Because, in the face of such a powerful being, ordinary armies have completely lost their meaning; their numbers are of no use whatsoever.

"The end? Old Wei, do you think this will attract the big shots from Yan Kingdom? I reckon it'll take at least a few hours."

Lin Lu was a little surprised, and also somewhat uncertain.

After learning part of the truth about the world from the wolf mother, his evaluation of the Yan Kingdom rose several notches.

For a nation that has been able to fight two monster races simultaneously without being at a disadvantage, would a mere half-hour-long anomaly really move them or make them take notice?

Originally, he planned to let this strange phenomenon last for about half a day, which was the limit that Lani could currently do.

Even with the means to transmit power across space, the little golden tree of Longmen has its limits and cannot continue indefinitely; at most, it can only last for half a day.

So, this old dragon is now telling him that this is the end of it?

"Enough, enough! Quickly tell your wife to stop her supernatural powers!"

Wei Yanwu felt a bitter taste in his mouth and hurriedly turned his head away, indicating that this level was more than enough.

There was something he didn't dare say.

That is... if this continues, let alone a few more hours, even if it exceeds one hour, what might come is not those old guys, but the most elite army that Yan Kingdom can mobilize.

If this strange phenomenon continued for several hours, even his younger brother would probably have to jump off the dragon throne in a hurry to personally lead the army into battle.

This land has not faced a power of this magnitude for far too long...

Chapter Forty-Seven: Restless Boss Wei

At noon, the sun hangs high in the sky.

The vast starry sky drifts away like clouds and smoke, disappearing without a trace, as if it had never existed.

In the eyes of the people of Longmen, today's experience is like a dream. Day turned into night, and the bright moon hung high. It was a fairy tale that only existed in folk books. How could it really happen in the human world?

However, the busy figures of the Royal Guard officers maintaining order on the street testified to that dreamlike scene.

The colossal tree that spans heaven and earth, the dark moon that stretches across the sky, arrive like a summer thunderstorm with tremendous force, but depart like an autumn mist, dissipating silently.

For ordinary people, brief changes in celestial phenomena are enough to be a topic of conversation after dinner, but that's about it.

The past is the past. Without natural disasters or evacuation warnings, it won't cause any ripples.

Compared to those mysterious speculations like myths and legends, the work at hand and the livelihood of the whole family are more important.

However, in the eyes of many powerful individuals, the celestial phenomenon had dissipated, but it had not completely disappeared.

What has vanished are the bright moon and stars, and the towering trees; the wisps of desolate aura still linger between heaven and earth, and have become even deeper.

Those are the aftereffects of the manifestation of the law. If the instigator is unwilling to dispel them, only a master of equal level can make them disappear in a short time. Otherwise, they will linger in the Dragon Gate for several months.

This is the power of the gods, which cannot be compared to the Originium Arts of manipulating ice and fire.

It won't cause any problems.

At most, during the period before the aftershocks subside, all spells related to 'night,' 'ice and snow,' and 'moon' will receive a certain degree of amplification, while others will be suppressed to some extent. Such an effect is negligible and ordinary spellcasters will not be able to detect it at all.

Some things cannot be seen unless one's own strength reaches a certain level. One must be strong to forge iron. No matter how broad one's vision is, it must be supported by one's own strength. These lingering impressions are left for those who want to see them, serving as proof.

This proves that the gods once lingered here, saving us from further explanation.

Lin Lu believed that the important figures from Yan Country would definitely be able to see and understand, so he did just that.

This also demonstrates the strength of the Golden Tree, which may save a lot of effort in future conversations.

After all, we can't ask Lani to put on another performance after they arrive, can we?
