The coronation ceremony was scheduled for a month later.

The entire capital city began its reconstruction and rebirth at an unprecedented pace.

Lin Feng did not use his world-destroying power to create a palace out of thin air.

He merely mobilized the demon armies that had been lying dormant in various locations.

Under the blueprints of human engineers, countless colossal "Giant Golems" became the most skilled builders. They could easily lift alloy modules weighing thousands of tons. Countless "Digging Bugs" completed the complex foundation and underground transportation network of the new capital city overnight.

Meanwhile, those "corrosive spitters" that once struck fear into the hearts of Imperial soldiers are now, under precise control, clearing the ruins and breaking down useless debris into the most basic, recyclable raw materials.

Humans and demons began their first "cooperation" in a way that no one could have imagined.

This bizarre yet harmonious scene made all of humanity realize more deeply just how inviolable Lin Feng's will was.

On the day of the ceremony.

The sky was crystal clear.

A brand-new, colossal palace, blending human technological aesthetics with the grandeur of the abyss, stands in the heart of the capital.

The palace is named "Summit of the Stars".

Leading to the palace is a ten-kilometer-long "Avenue of Divine Grace".

The avenue was lined with people who had come to watch the ceremony, their eyes filled with fervor and excitement.

And behind the people.

They were a silent demon army, arranged in neat square formations.

Heavy armored Direclaws, Void Leviathans, Soul Eaters... all the nightmares of the past now stand like the most loyal, silent honor guard, heads bowed, not daring to utter the slightest disrespect.

At the very front of the main road, all the surviving high-ranking officials, both civil and military, were waiting. Zhao Tianyu and Qin Lan were among them.

Opposite them stood a group of high-ranking demons, each with a different form and a terrifying aura.

Leading the group was none other than Lilith, the Demon King, who had awakened and fully accepted her identity as a "servant."

She changed into a magnificent palace dress, black with gold trim, which Lin Feng had personally created for her.

The long dress clung tightly to her flawless body, outlining breathtaking curves. Her face had lost its previous arrogance and resentment; instead, it wore a complex expression—a mixture of awe, humiliation, and a hint of morbid infatuation.

She is no longer the Demon King.

She is the number one demon general under His Majesty the Emperor.

When the melodious, magnificent bells rang out.

Everyone held their breath.

Lin Feng, dressed in a simple white linen robe and barefoot, slowly descended from the highest point of "Summit of Stars" along the void.

He was not wearing any fancy clothes or any ornaments that symbolized power.

Because he himself is the ultimate embodiment of power and might.

He stepped forward and calmly surveyed the entire room.

Humans, demons.

They all bowed their heads deeply.

Holding a dark gold crown meticulously crafted by the empire's scientists, Qin Lan stepped forward.

She came to Lin Feng, knelt down on one knee, and raised the crown high above her head.

Lin Tian did not accept the crown.

He simply reached out his hand.

The crown flew automatically from Qin Lan's hand and slowly landed on his head.

There was no coronation ceremony, no elaborate oaths.

The moment the crown fell.

An invisible, supreme majesty erupted from his body, sweeping across the entire planet and even surging into the boundless sea of ​​stars!

"From this day forward."

Lin Feng's voice, though not loud, resonated clearly deep within the soul of every living being.

"The Kingdom of Stars is renamed the Holy Star Empire."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the billions of kneeling beings below.

Then, in a completely new tone, belonging to the supreme monarch, he uttered those words that were destined to resound for eternity.

"I am the first emperor of the empire."

"I……"

When this word came out of Lin Feng's mouth.

Lilith's delicate body trembled almost imperceptibly.

Qin Lan, Zhao Tianyu, and the others felt a surge of heat rush to their heads!

"Lonely" represents the king.

And I, representing the absolute emperor who is the only one in heaven and earth!

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

Someone, I don't know who, was the first to roar out with all their might.

The next second.

The frenzied shouts, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing, resounded throughout the entire world, just like a star exploding!

"Long live the Empire! Long live the Empire! Long live the Empire!"

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

Humans cheered, demons roared.

Two completely different voices, at this moment, merged perfectly, transforming into the highest praise for the white-clad figure on the throne!

---

Amidst deafening cheers, Lin Feng slowly raised his hand.

In an instant, the entire world fell into absolute silence once again.

All eyes were on him, awaiting the new emperor's first imperial edict.

Lin Feng's gaze passed over the kneeling officials and the frenzied crowd, landing on a quiet corner on one side of the palace.

There stood a woman, dressed in an elegant white dress, with a gentle demeanor and stunning beauty.

Unlike others, she didn't fall into fanatical worship. In her eyes, there was awe, admiration, and satisfaction, but more than anything, there was a gentle and serene feeling that came from the heart.

She is one of the few people in the world who has seen what Lin Feng was like before he became a "god".

"Su Wanqing".

Lin Feng softly uttered the name.

The woman whose name was called stiffened slightly, then slowly walked out from the crowd.

She arrived at the center of the Divine Grace Avenue and, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, gracefully bowed to Lin Feng.

"Your subject is here."

Lin Feng looked at her, and the indifference in his eyes, which had remained unchanged for millennia, finally melted away slightly, transforming into a barely perceptible tenderness.

"I, the Emperor, ascend to the highest point."

Lin Feng's voice rang out again, majestic and solemn.

"However, the emperor's throne cannot be without someone by his side."

"Today, I hereby confer upon Su Wanqing the title of the first Empress of the Holy Star Empire."

"As the Empress, she will rule the harem, enjoy unparalleled glory, and together with me, control the galaxy."

boom!

This imperial edict struck like a thunderbolt, exploding in everyone's minds!

Countless eyes turned to the seemingly frail woman in the white dress. Their gazes were filled with shock, envy, and jealousy.

They could not imagine what kind of lucky woman in this world could win the favor of this divine emperor.

Qin Lan, Zhao Tianyu, and a few others who knew the truth showed relieved smiles.

Lilith raised her head and took a deep look at the woman named Su Wanqing.

She didn't sense any powerful force from that woman.

However, she could clearly sense that when Lin Feng's gaze fell on that woman, the cold, absolute pressure that belonged to "gods" would quietly dissipate, replaced by a kind of brilliance she had never seen before, called "humanity".

She suddenly understood.

This woman is the only chain that binds that cosmic behemoth named "Lin Feng".

She is the true pillar of this empire.

Su Wanqing slowly raised her head and met Lin Feng's gaze.

Tears were glistening in her eyes.

She didn't say anything like "This humble woman is filled with fear" or "Thank you for your great kindness, Your Majesty."

She simply gave Lin Feng a smile as warm and radiant as the early spring sunshine.

"My, Your Majesty."

She said softly.

A smile, a smile rarely seen in millennia, appeared on Lin Feng's lips.

He reached out his hand to her.

Su Wanqing lifted her skirt and stepped into the void. Under the gaze of billions of living beings, she walked to Lin Feng's side and gently placed her soft, boneless hand in his broad, warm palm.

Lin Feng gripped her hand tightly.

Then he turned around, took his queen's hand, and faced the whole world.

"My lords, rise."

The majestic voice resounded in all directions.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The response was thunderous and resounding, perfectly synchronized.

Humans and demons rose at the same time.

The sunlight shone on the emperor and empress, bathing them in a sacred and warm golden halo.

Behind them stood the silent Demon General Lilith, representing absolute destruction.

At their feet stood the civil and military officials and the demon lords, who bowed their heads in reverence, representing the authority of the empire.

Further away, there are the fervent worship of the hundreds of millions of people and the demon army, who represent the cornerstone of the empire.

On this day, an unprecedented and magnificent empire, spanning both human and demon races and ruled by a true god, officially proclaimed its birth.

Its future is destined to be boundless, dazzling, and filled with stars and the sea.
