As the competition progressed into its later stages, AnGe's long-awaited sponsor finally appeared.
Regarding the sponsorship, An Ge had arranged for someone to communicate with them from the beginning. Unfortunately, there were few merchants among the demon race, and even fewer among the human race; only some merchants among the monster race were interested.
But this was the first time such a competition had been held, and even though the demon merchants trusted their young mistress, they dared not gamble their entire fortunes. It wasn't until they saw how popular the competition was that these merchants regretted their actions.
Many businessmen decided to increase their sponsorship, but the price was now vastly different from the initial price. Without comparison, it wouldn't have been so bad; once they did, these businessmen felt they had been ripped off.
A merchant came to An Ge for help. In their eyes, although An Ge was the Holy Maiden of the Demon Clan, she was also their young mistress. Unexpectedly, An Ge refused outright when the matter was brought up.
Faced with the demons' discontent, An Ge said quietly, "Business is business. Giving the demons the opportunity to sponsor them is already a special favor I've shown them. If you think I'm not qualified as the young mistress of the demons, then let your young master find someone else."
An Ge's words were so serious because she wanted to convey a message to the demon race. Although she had a good relationship with the demon race, she was now the demon race's holy maiden on demon territory.
The demons trembled with fear, their minds clouded by greed instantly clearing, and they hurriedly begged for mercy. To atone for their sins, they even increased their sponsorship.
When An Ge's words spread, the entire demon race was deeply moved. Their Holy Maiden was so kind; she genuinely cared for the demon race. The monster race also began to reflect: had they gone too far? Especially after hearing that the merchants who had coveted the young mistress had been severely punished by the young master, all their resentment vanished.
Their young master was indeed an extraordinary genius, but in the eyes of the demons, the young mistress was even more talented than him. One ascended to immortality at over a thousand years old, while the other reached the Nascent Soul stage in her early twenties, and both possessed the ability to help others ascend. No one questioned An Ge's strength.
If such a young mistress were to leave in anger, not only would the young master not let them off the hook, but they themselves would also be heartbroken.
Actually, if you think about it carefully, with the young mistress around, the demon race will at least not be bullied by the demon clan, and they will also receive many benefits in the future. What else could they possibly be dissatisfied with?
Seeing the change in the demons' mentality, the Demon King withdrew the demon clan that had been guiding public opinion.
Xiao Ge'er is surrounded by truly talented people; this Zhang Zhengyi is indeed a master of ideological work. Hmph, Xiao Jiu has been by An Ge's side for so long and is still so impulsive; in the end, his old man had to step in.
Hu Jiu, who was somewhat agitated upon hearing about the change of young mistress...
The affairs of the demon race also provided some inspiration for the human race. After all, many humans felt that An Ge, as a powerful figure among humans, should work for the benefit of humanity. However, after seeing An Ge's attitude, these people also came to their senses.
It's certain that they're jealous of the demons, but then again, with True Monarch String Song around, the demons can't cause any trouble, and those words about peaceful coexistence won't just be empty slogans. It's undoubtedly very good for the human race.
Because of Ange's existence, the relationship between the three races has improved without anyone realizing it.
An Ge breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help feeling that things were really tough for her. She uttered Ginseng's favorite saying, "Sigh, being loved by others is also a burden."
Completely oblivious to this burden, Lu Yan held a secret letter and said, "Since we're already carrying such a heavy load, wouldn't you mind adding a little more? I just received news that Lu Sha seems to be preparing a ritual to invoke the gods. It seems the Second Prince can't sit still any longer."
Speaking of the ritual of summoning the gods, An Ge immediately thought of Shi Xinyi's ritual for summoning the chosen ones. Come to think of it, the one-year deadline isn't far off, and she still needs to find some time to go to Sword God Valley to check on the situation.
An Ge speculated that the evil god organization might have a special way to sneak into the smaller planes without the God Realm Alliance's knowledge. As for why Rhodes didn't use it, it can only be said that as an undercover agent in the God Realm, Rhodes' actions were restricted.
Hu Jiu asked, "Should we stop the evil god from descending?"
An Ge's eyes lit up. "I received a message from Meng Xia that Hogg has developed something to test death energy. How about we go all out?"
A few days later, the competition finally came to an end. Seeing their favorite teams either eliminated or advanced, the audience's hearts rose and fell with their emotions. But regardless of who won in the end, they were all genuinely happy for the victors.
The two weeks of competition showed them the fairness, hard work, and fighting spirit that the competition had always promoted, and they also learned the true meaning of competition.
The awards ceremony was jointly hosted by An Ge and Lu Yan. The prizes weren't particularly expensive, but the winners felt incredibly grateful for the trophies they held in their hands.
Just as people were immersed in joy, the new king, Lu Yan, took the stage to speak. Only then did everyone remember that the Demon King's coronation ceremony would follow the competition.
It wasn't that they overlooked the new Demon King; it was just that the competition was so exciting that they forgot about the Demon King's Grand Ceremony.
In fact, not only did they forget, but even Lu Yan himself forgot. He'd been busy with the competition every day lately; how could he have had the time or inclination to think about this? He even felt a slight resistance to the ceremony, since he was practically the Demon King regardless of whether there was a ceremony or not. Besides, his speech this time wasn't for the ceremony.
Lu Yan briefly explained the matter of the evil god and the death aura, and then played the zombie footage for everyone. This action was like a bomb exploding in the crowd.
"Oh my god, these monsters called zombies are so scary. If I become like that, I'd rather die."
"I was initially a little skeptical about whether it was real or not, but after seeing this, I had no choice but to believe it."
“Look how calm our elders and ancestors are; they must have known all along.”
"Now that you mention it, I remember that before I came here, my master gave me a bunch of treasures. I was thinking it was a sudden master-disciple bond, but it turns out that my master was worried about me."
"If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have come to the Demon Realm." Someone said resentfully, but was immediately mocked by others. "You think you're safe just because you're hiding in the human realm? The Demon King said that the evil gods aren't just targeting the Demon Realm. Those zombies were all human before they became zombies."
Upon hearing this, those who had been harboring resentment immediately changed their attitude. Indeed, how could they forget that these zombies were all transformed from humans?
Fortunately, the demons discovered the problem in advance; otherwise, if the evil god's power had expanded, the entire human realm would have become a terrifying inferno.
Each ethnic group may have its own selfish motives, but when faced with the life-or-death situation of their race, they will only unite against external forces.
Seeing the crowd gradually becoming agitated by the news of the evil god, An Ge quickly stepped forward to reassure them, "Everyone, there's no need to worry. We have already developed a magical artifact that can detect death energy, and we believe we will be able to find those hidden believers."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the big shots had made preparations in advance. With these treasures, they were determined to eradicate the evil god's forces. Just as they were getting over their initial shock, they heard another terrifying piece of news.
