I would rather betray the gods

Everything is ready; it's time to return to the main hall for the coronation ceremony.

Stepping out of the bedroom, there is an extremely long corridor, at the end of which is the main hall of the Pisces Palace.

The corridor offers a glimpse into the entire palace, which is predominantly made of smooth white stone. The interior is brightly lit yet exudes solemnity.

There is a pair of doors every ten meters or so on both sides of the corridor.

Yuzu didn't know what all these rooms were used for, and out of politeness, she didn't dare to ask too many questions. She just walked around and looked at them.

Banlan saw through his little scheme and told him that he needed more than twenty rooms, such as a study, a conference room, a reception room, and so on.

As for these corridors and rooms, there are eight more floors above.

The rooms upstairs are different; they have all sorts of functions, from gathering intelligence and planning situations to coordinating strategies. In short, the entire palace is the brain center of the Pisces Palace's jurisdiction.

Seeing that Yuzi's eyes were darting around, Banlan gave a more detailed introduction.

In fact, Pisces Palace is the general name for this planet. The palace where Yuzu will live in the future is just the main palace of Pisces Palace. The other buildings on the planet are supporting buildings that are built around the main palace.

In other words, every grain of sand on this planet belongs exclusively to his god-king.

My God!

Yuzu was momentarily confused, her eyes narrowing into slits with a smug look on her face.

Suddenly, a dazzling light unexpectedly pierced his eyes.

It was a brighter hall at the end of the corridor; if he hadn't seen the light and shadow in the hall, he would have almost forgotten what he was supposed to do.

Compared to when he first arrived, this time he took the time to examine the structure of the main hall more closely.

The main hall is truly magnificent.

A stone platform was built on one side, on which various statues were displayed in sequence.

The other side is more dreamlike. There are no walls, only several huge stone pillars. Outside the pillars is a row of stone steps, with a layer of light mist that is above the ankles floating on the steps. Beyond the steps is an unknown world, where sometimes the weather is sunny and sometimes there are thunderstorms; sometimes there are mountains and rivers, and sometimes there are vast plains.

That dreamlike side, like a giant screen in a grand hall, adds to the grandeur.

Of course, the images on the "screen" are not virtual; they couldn't be more real.

This is the mystery on that side, called the "Little Heavenly Gate," which connects to every planet in the jurisdiction.

As time goes by, the Divine King Palace is also constantly moving, so the 'scene' presented outside the gate changes every moment, showcasing countless beautiful views and also symbolizing 'the emperor guarding the gate of the country'!

Where should I go?

Inside the main hall, the pomelo winked at the variegated face.

"The throne, just go to the throne." Banlan then remembered that Second Master was still a novice and reminded him softly.

Oh.

Yuzu locked onto the throne and hurried over.

The throne is exquisitely carved from white jade, crystal clear and incomparably beautiful.

But the focus at this moment is not on the throne, but on the Pisces crown on the table in front of it.

"Are you waiting for me?" Yuzu seemed to sense Pisces Crown's joyful excitement and blurted out.

Then she was surprised at herself for asking that question, since the other party was just an object.

Unexpectedly, the Pisces Crown responded with a pulsating energy.

Ha, it really has a magical quality!

Yuzi was overjoyed.

For a moment, he completely ignored the imposing eyes of the assembled god-kings below the stage; they had been waiting for far too long.

Out of consideration for their feelings, they couldn't leave, but they kept using anger to erode their patience.

Fortunately, the coronation ceremony was not presided over by those impatient god-kings in the audience.

Just as the King of Gods' rage was about to tear off the dome of the palace, a golden streak landed beside Yuzu.

Then, the golden light transformed into human form.

The newcomer was a man who looked to be about forty years old. He was also wearing a crystal battle suit and had long, black hair that reached his waist.

Based on the characteristics of his battle attire, it can be determined that he is the God King Capricorn.

His appearance immediately eased the atmosphere in the audience.

All the gods stood up respectfully and shouted in unison, "Welcome, sir."

This scene is like a lion king walking into a pride of lions.

Seeing this, Yuzu, who was sandwiched in the middle and looked as weak as a herbivore, felt quite helpless. He didn't understand why this person was so respected when they were both God Kings. How should he, a "grassroots quasi-God King", greet this person?

"What are you standing there for? He was your teacher in your past life and he's going to guide you in this one. Hurry up and call him 'Master'," Cancer reminded Yuzu as he approached her.

Huh? Oh!

Yuzu was initially taken aback, but then bowed respectfully to Capricorn, stammering, "Hello, sir!"

Capricorn nodded, his eyes, the same color as his hair, reflecting only grapefruit.

For a fleeting moment, a tenderness welled up in those deep eyes.

It wasn't until later, after experiencing many people and events, that Yuzu finally understood the profound bond between teacher and friend that transcended reincarnation.

Then, Capricorn turned to face the audience, signaling everyone to return to their seats. He would then preside over Pisces' coronation ceremony.

The sheng and xiao flutes begin, and the drums and music rise.

The Capricorn raised both hands and muttered something under his breath.

Before long, his hands began to glow faintly. He then picked up the Pisces Crown with his glowing hands and turned it to the pomelo. "Its extraordinary qualities are not because it is an extraordinary thing, but because of the responsibility and mission it carries."

I thought of the little girl eating chocolate, the old woman holding the little girl, and all the people in the city.

I thought of Zifeiyu fighting against the besieging army all by herself.

I thought about how I had accomplished nothing but a lot of enthusiasm (but I didn't think too much about it).

Yuzu solemnly accepted the Pisces crown.

The moment I took it, that feeling intensified, and Pisces Crown's joyful aura was like finally seeing several old friends I hadn't seen in all my reincarnations.

In his heart, it was as if he had returned to his childhood, a time he could never go back to, and met an innocent and carefree friend under the cool shade of a tree in summer.

He believed this feeling was wonderful.

So he didn't hesitate to put on the Pisces crown.

At that moment, a completely different feeling welled up in his heart.

It's power!

The Pisces Crown awakened the power that Zifeiyu had left him.

He felt his consciousness suddenly fly into the vast and boundless sea of ​​stars.

The invisible force, like a vast ocean, filled every empty space, allowing him to feel it freely.

With a wave of his hand, that power would surge according to his will, stirring up towering waves.

Is this the power of the gods?

Yuzu was shocked, even though he was the one who created the giant wave.

He gazed at the distant, unreachable starry sky and the vast ocean, his heart filled with turmoil...

In reality, his appearance also changed: his hair changed from black to blue, grew to his waist, and became crystal clear and silky; and his slightly dark skin also became snow-white and smooth.

This was something Yuzu himself never expected. In just a few years, he would become a greasy middle-aged man, but he was able to look like an eighteen-year-old heartthrob again.

Of course, he is definitely a hundred times or a thousand times more handsome now than he was when he was eighteen in the mortal world!

He gazed at his reflection in the distant mirror, admiring himself more and more, his mind wandering: "Oh dear, when I get home, my older sister will be so envious! Will my parents even recognize me as their grown-up son? And my friends..."

Just as Yuzu was lost in his own self-admiration, Cancer told him a cruel truth.

His current appearance is merely an "enhanced form," which can be understood as a demigod mode. As long as he holds back his internal power, he will return to his original form.

Because he was crowned as a god-king in his mortal form and did not go through the ascension process, his appearance was fixed in the mortal stage, just like a scallion rising from the ground.

Oh, I see.

Yuzu was quite disappointed when she heard this. Although her mortal appearance was considered acceptable in the mortal world, compared to the other god-kings present, it was like comparing a white radish to jade—they were not in the same league.

If he didn't deliberately transform himself, wouldn't he feel inferior to them for the rest of his life?
