Chapter 179: Agares' Invitation
"If that's true, with so many top-grade materials, there's a slight chance of advancement."
"Gu Xin has toiled for so many years, and to evolve the Love Demon Pillar into a super artifact before his death is truly a life well lived."
After hearing the Star Demon God Vashak's words, Demon Emperor Feng Xiu couldn't help but continue, "The Demon God's Crown should be in your hands. Give it to me and choose a suitable master for it to inherit Gu Xin's forging legacy."
"Uh..."
Faced with Demon Emperor Feng Xiu's inquiry about the Demon God's Crown of the Wise Demon God, Lin Ze coughed lightly and said, "Your Majesty, I can't give it to you..."
"What do you mean?" Hearing Lin Ze's words, Demon Emperor Feng Xiu frowned slightly.
"Because the Demon God's Crown has recognized me as its master, I am the next Wise Demon God..."
Lin Ze's words caused a moment of strange silence in the hall...
The Three Gods of Sun, Moon, and Star were speechless.
Lin Ze becoming the new Wise Demon God was completely unexpected.
Demon Emperor Feng Xiu had originally intended to train Lin Ze and elevate him to the position of Demon Emperor.
However, Lin Ze was now a Wise Demon God, clearly ineligible to be his first-in-line heir.
"Nonsense! Who allowed you to make such a decision? The Demon God position is no joke!" Demon Emperor Feng Xiu angrily slammed the armrest of his throne.
A terrifying shockwave spread out.
Feng Xiu was furious. He had waited so long for someone to succeed him, but Lin Ze had become another Demon God.
This completely disrupted his plans.
"Hmph!"
Demon Emperor Feng Xiu snorted coldly and left angrily.
He had originally planned to announce Lin Ze as the first-in-line heir today, but this change in Lin Ze's status put a temporary stop to his original plan.
After the Demon Emperor left, Star Demon God Vashak shook his head with regret.
He then left to comfort the Demon Emperor.
While Lin Ze's status as a Wise Demon God would serve as a deterrent to other demons, becoming Demon Emperor would likely be a more complicated process.
After the Star Demon God and the Demon Emperor left, only the bewildered Lin Ze and his companions remained.
Moon Demon God Agares, the only one who hadn't left, approached Lin Ze with a smile.
"Little one, do you know what you've missed?"
Lin Ze was genuinely baffled by Feng Xiu's anger. The Wise Demon God could have been anyone, and wasn't his strength more than enough for that?
Moon Demon God Agares chuckled and said, "Originally, His Majesty had decided to appoint you as the first in line to the Demon Emperor's throne, but now you've become the Wise Demon God."
"Ah!"
"Lin Ze becomes the first in line to the Demon Emperor?"
Before Lin Ze could say anything, Leng Xiao and Yue Ye's eyes widened.
What had they heard?
This, this, this...
Although Lin Ze was a little surprised, he remained puzzled. "If His Majesty wants me to rule the demon race in the future, as the Wise Demon God..."
Lin Ze paused mid-sentence when he suddenly remembered something.
He suddenly understood why Demon Emperor Feng Xiu was so angry.
If he was the first in line to the throne, as long as he had enough achievements in the demon clan, becoming the next Demon Emperor would be a natural thing.
But things were different now.
He was now the Wise Demon God Lin Ze. To become the Demon Emperor, he had to follow the Demon Clan's custom and defeat the Demon Emperor with his strength.
Doesn't that mean that if Lin Ze wanted to become the next Demon Emperor, he had to defeat him in front of all the other Demon Gods?
How was that any different from slapping Demon Emperor Feng Xiu in front of all the other Demon Gods?
Seeing Lin Ze's reaction, Moon Demon God Agares chuckled.
He understood that Lin Ze must understand the reasoning.
"Lin Ze, you and Yue'er are engaged after all. If you're free these two days, why don't you come to the Moon Demon Palace and discuss your affairs with Yue'er?"
Agares was becoming increasingly fond of Lin Ze.
If Lin Ze truly became the Demon Emperor, the status of the human-demon hybrid within the Demon Clan would undoubtedly change dramatically.
Monogamy was not a custom in the Demon Clan.
Therefore, Lin Ze wasn't particularly surprised by Moon Demon God Agares' invitation.
However, Lin Ze subconsciously glanced at Yue Ye. After all, it was Yue Ye who had told him that the two of them were just putting on a show...
Yue Ye's heart skipped a beat after hearing Agares' words.
Seeing Lin Ze's gaze, he instinctively said, "Okay, tomorrow then."
Seeing Yue Ye's words, Lin Ze nodded.
Agares nodded in satisfaction and said, "Then it's settled. I'll inform Sidi about this. Yue'er, please accompany me back today."
"Oh, yeah, okay..."
Yue Ye was visibly flustered by this sudden parent-teacher meeting.
Seeing Yue Ye's expression, Agares chuckled and shook his head, then tore through the void and vanished.
Seeing this, Yue Ye also looked at Lin Ze and said, "Then Lin Ze, Xiao Xiao, I'll be going back first..."
After hearing Lin Ze and Leng Xiao's responses, Yue Ye hurriedly followed Agares.
After Yue Ye and Agares left, Leng Xiao puffed up her cheeks and looked at Lin Ze, saying, "You stinky Lin Ze, you agreed so readily. Tell me, have you been eyeing Sister Yue for a long time?"
Seeing the jealous Leng Xiao, Lin Ze scratched his head and said, "I'm just trying to cooperate with Sister Yue. If you're worried, come with me tomorrow."
"Hmph,"
Leng Xiao snorted. "I'm not going. Go by yourself. Find whoever you want. This witch won't get jealous over such a small thing!"
Leng Xiao still felt a little jealous. If Lin Ze went to the Moon Demon Palace, something was bound to happen.
But Leng Xiao could accept it. In fact, during her time with Yue Ye over the past two days, she had sensed that Yue Ye was distracted because she and Lin Ze were married, and her behavior was much more restrained than before.
She still preferred the confident Sister Yue from before.
However, while she didn't object to Lin Ze going to the Moon Demon Palace to find Yue Ye tomorrow, what did that have to do with her jealousy now?
"Hmph!"
Leng Xiao snorted inwardly. Tonight, she would let Lin Ze understand what Her Majesty the Witch was!
