My mom is waiting for treatment, and you're summoning me to be a hero?

He did not want to let Saint Zefa go.

But he really can't catch this person right now.

An elemental body and the speed of light make it arguably the world's strongest ability to survive.

The only hope of solving his problem lies in the ability of the Devouring Monarch talent.

However, the speed at which Saint Zefa transforms into light elementals is too fast; the gap between activation and disappearing from the naked eye is so short that it is almost non-existent.

It takes at least half a breath for the continuous vortex of engulfment to open and form a suction field.

In other words, neither Saint Zefa nor Lin Mo can do anything to the other right now.

Saint Zefa stood there, his face ashen, and clenched his fist tightly.

The alliance failed, and the three divine essence crystals were given away for free. Lin Mo publicly mocked them for being stingy, and they were also verbally abused by the remnant soul of the Ancestral Dragon.

He lost everything on this trip to Longcheng, even losing his underwear.

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the surging anger back into his chest, and uttered his final harsh words in a cold, hard tone that even he found laughable.

"Lin Mo, you won't be so smug forever. The Holy See's millennia-old heritage is beyond your imagination. One day I'll make you regret it."

"I'll be waiting."

Lin Mo picked up the tea that Yin Xue had somehow gotten his hands on and took a sip without even lifting his eyelids.

Seeing this, Saint Zefa snorted coldly and turned to leave.

The gilded royal robe flashed at the palace entrance and transformed into a pale golden streak of light. The instant the light elemental transformation was activated, he could even clearly feel the gazes of all the guests behind him.

There was sympathy, there was mockery, and even more schadenfreude.

The king of the Holy Kingdom of the Tower had traveled a great distance to deliver three top-tier divine essence crystals to his nemesis, only to be publicly driven out of the palace by his enemy. He would never forget this humiliation.

Lin Mo watched him disappear through the palace gate, then withdrew his gaze, placed the teacup back on the table, and turned to look at everyone present.

At this moment, everyone stared at Lin Mo, who stood there speechless and stunned.

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow: "Isn't today the day of the Dragon Emperor's coronation? Why does everyone look like that?"

Everyone's lips twitched.

You even know that today is the Dragon Emperor's coronation? Anyone who didn't know would think it was you who was ascending the throne.

However, no one dared to say this, since Lin Mo's tyranny had already spread throughout the continent.

Now, he has even personally killed a demigod-level monster.

It is likely that even a demigod would need to join forces to fight against it.

As everyone was thinking this, a dragon maid dragged in food and wine.

Tie Xin sniffed it and exclaimed, "Mmm, good wine!"

He didn't stand on ceremony; before the maid could even put the wine down, he picked it up and drank it down in big gulps.

The tense atmosphere was thus relieved.

As various specialty dishes were served, the pre-coronation banquet was about to begin.

An official dressed in elven diplomatic attire walked in from outside the door.

He went straight up to Akin.

"Congratulations on the Dragon Emperor's ascension to the throne! May the friendship between the Elves and the Dragons last forever."

As she spoke, she opened the gift box she was holding. It contained twelve leaves of life, placed in a carved wooden box.

His behavior and wording were neither humble nor arrogant, displaying both diplomatic tact and the aloofness characteristic of the Elven race.

Aize himself sat at the table and slightly raised his glass as a gesture of respect.

A Jin glanced at Lin Mo beside him, but Lin Mo did not say anything.

Instead, Yin Xue's voice suddenly rang out: "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and accept it. You are the Dragon Emperor now."

Ajin no longer hesitated, accepted the gift box, and nodded to the envoy: "May the friendship between the Dragon Clan and the Elf Clan last forever."

Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and then gestured to their messengers to bring up the gifts.

Like Saint Zefa, Tie Xin did not bring an adjutant.

He walked up to Ah Jin in a boisterous manner and patted him hard on the shoulder: "Not bad, hahaha, you're quite strong. I was worried that old man Hong Lü wouldn't be able to handle the stuff I brought."

As he spoke, he took out a long-handled battle axe from his spatial ring.

The almost pure gold axe is inlaid with seven crystals of different colors.

Before Ajin could even examine it closely, Tiexin threw the axe at him.

The axe was much heavier than Akin had predicted, but fortunately he adjusted his posture in time and caught it steadily.

Lin Mo glanced at it slightly, wondering if this was some kind of divine artifact.

Tie Xin laughed heartily: "This axe is called Heart of the Mountain. It has no combat power. Those seven crystals are just for increasing its weight."

Lin Mo was speechless. So you're just joking?

Afterwards, the vampires gifted them a pair of blood crystal wristbands.

The orcs offered a complete level 78 deer antler essence.

The Stone Skin Clan carried up a piece of earth vein ore that was half a person's height.

These are all local specialties of their respective tribes, of decent quality, but not particularly precious.

Yin Xue frowned every time a congratulatory gift was presented.

She transmitted her voice to Lin Mo.

"These things aren't worth much."

Lin Mo smiled and replied in a low voice.

"It was just a normal diplomatic gift, a normal diplomatic gesture. They were just going through the motions, giving a gift, having a drink, and then going back to write a report. That was all."

Yin Xue and Mianmian exchanged a glance, both seeing disappointment in each other's eyes.

In fact, the main reason is that these races do not need anything from the dragons.

Otherwise, they would definitely have come up with something truly good, like Saint Zefa did.

At this moment, the goblin representative stepped forward, presented a cylinder, and took out a roll of yellowed parchment from it.

He stammered out an explanation, saying that the airship blueprints, drawn by goblin engineers over a decade, could be used by dragons as aerial patrol vehicles.

Everyone burst out laughing.

Lin Mo glanced at it a couple more times. Could it be that the other world is also going to have an industrial revolution?

……

After the gift-giving ceremony concluded, Ajin read out the decree of the new Dragon Emperor, officially appointing six new elders from different lineages.

The various ethnic groups were mixed together, and power was decentralized.

After the investiture ceremony, Ajin announced the start of the banquet. Music was played, and servants entered in single file, carrying wine and meat.

Tie Xin picked up his wine glass and took a big gulp, then turned to Aize and said, "This new Dragon Emperor is quite capable; he handled the ceremony smoothly."

Aize didn't reply, still wearing a thoughtful expression.

Lin Mo had already left his seat and walked into the side hall alone.

Whether those gifts were worth keeping or not, Ah Jin would take care of them for him.

He never participates in banquets or social gatherings.

It's not that I disdain it, it's that it's unnecessary.

The side hall was very quiet, with a few dragon clan secret lamps casting a soft white light.

He sat cross-legged on the stone platform and took out the demigod essence of the Thousand-Eyed Sea Demon from his storage ring.

The essence is about the size of a fist, and its surface is covered with a layer of constantly flowing dark blue light film. Through the light film, you can see the dense eye-shaped patterns inside.

Each "eye" was still trembling slightly, as if the demigod monster that had dominated the deep sea for two thousand years had not yet died completely.

At the same time, he held the gift box sent by Saint Zefa in his other hand.

Inside were three Divine Essence Crystals.
