Chapter 98 End of the text
=======================
It's really heartless to reveal big news at midnight.
The netizen clicked the screen frantically, and after ten minutes or so, he finally squeezed in.
However, the comment section is still very stuck. Many people wrote a long and eloquent post, but it showed that the post failed.
Now, almost all of those who are active are in a state of shock.
In fact, as early as a month ago, some experts had predicted Luke's practice method and the time it would take for him to become a god. They said that judging from his speed of progress in a year, he had no bottleneck in his practice and might be able to break through and become a god in the short term.
Predictions are predictions, but when you actually see it, the shock remains the same.
The video progress bar was still a long way to go, so they quickly pulled it back.

Lillian is very good at making money without any guidance.
Only sixty seconds,
look!
The screen began to play a TV sales advertisement, and every second seemed particularly long.
While I was looking for the red X on the screen to close the ads, my hard work paid off and the second half of the breakthrough screen loaded!
Suddenly, the sky was filled with light, and the golden energy spreading from Luke's body was like a drumstick, making strange sounds on the sky.
The sharp light on the edge of the wings is like a rainbow piercing the sun, further leaving a mark in the void.
The most complete patterns of the magic array were connected and formed, proving that a new god was born in the world.
Who hasn’t dreamed of becoming a god?
Just when my heart was filled with excitement, the picture suddenly stopped again.

"… I am speechless not because I can't speak, but because I don't want to curse too badly."
"Isn't this a bit too much?! Isn't this a bit too much?!"
"I clicked on the paid link, what kind of membership is this? It's a monthly renewal, what a profiteer!"
"Jealousy makes my demon heart unstable. How old is he? A twenty-year-old god? I finally understand where the Demon King's dislike comes from. By the way, where is the Demon King?"
At this point, who cares about the Demon King?
There are billions of living beings, and there are many who are not short of money. Many people don’t even have time to type a comment, let alone think about spending money to unlock it.
Finally I can see the sequel——
For fifteen minutes and thirty seconds, Luca and the man looked at each other affectionately.
Seventeen minutes and forty-two seconds, Luka blossomed for the man.
At 18 minutes and 59 seconds, the young couple hugged each other tightly in the wild.
The prince of the demon world successfully achieved both love and career.
The video starts with red and black text and ends with a rainbow font: [To celebrate the lovers finally getting married, we will take 10% of the membership fees and donate it to magic theory research institutions around the world. 】
So they have to contribute a share of the money and indirectly do charity for other people's love, right?
Angry netizens left messages one after another, "Be sure to watch the rest, it's worth it!" 】
[That’s right, the essence of the entire video is at the end. 】
Each similar comment received millions of likes and instantly made it to the front page.
The topics #You’ll regret it for the rest of your life if you don’t watch# and #Become a God# reached the top in one fell swoop. Lujia alone took on all the topic volume on the platform, and both the community and the channel groups were flooding the screen with messages.
More and more netizens were deceived into the second half of the video, and Alex appeared on the tip of the hot search iceberg under the red name of Luke.
A big fan of Luke posted under his real name: "I wish Alex can break through soon."
The blessing was sincere, and they survived by dreaming of Alex being taken away by thunder.
Thunder, strike!
The Internet has brought people of different social classes closer together on a virtual platform. Most netizens just watch the fun, after all, whether Luke becomes a god or not has little impact on them.
However, the military departments and senior officials of various ethnic groups held meetings overnight.
During the time that the saint was away, the old monster stayed in the holy city to help take charge.
Even the same force has different views and opinions. Moreover, some small tribes that are friendly with the human race were also connected to the video conference, and they collectively began to worry about the future situation on the continent.
The old monster was too lazy to reason, he imitated the tone of the Lord of the Stone City:
"Everyone, we need to look at the problem from a development perspective. We can't just look at whether Lujia's godhood is for war or peace. We need to see that the rules of the starry sky are weak, and the saint may soon become a god."
"Similarly, we can't just focus on love. We need to consider whether the most unsuccessful legend on the continent will become a god in the future, whether the two parties will get divorced, and the impact of the divorce. "
yes!
I almost forgot that Alex is also a huge hidden danger.
Everyone was so thirsty that they talked nonstop for the entire night.
It was almost dawn, and seeing that they all said they were tired, the old monster calmly reminded them: "Those two are not married yet."
Go take a shower and go to bed.
“…”
The heated discussion did not reach Lujia. After breaking through the thirteenth level of the sky cushion in one fell swoop, he needed to consolidate his realm step by step.
When Luke went to the Stone City for a retreat, Quill stayed nearby, quietly studying the magic runes.
At this moment, this silence reveals extreme alienation.
The saint happened to see this scene when he came over.
To be fair, Alex is a true master of all things. It is not difficult for him to make further progress. Logically speaking, as long as he practices hard, he will be able to make a breakthrough soon.
Yet he didn't seem to be in a hurry.
The ferret jumped over with its bare butt and two paws. It would not let itself suffer any injustice now and raised the relevant doubts on the spot.
Quill: "If the connections are too dense, the feedback from heaven and earth to Lujia will be reduced."
After becoming a god, the gifts from heaven and earth will decrease for a period of time, but the decreasing part is also very important. After all, gods also have different strengths.
Now that he has become a god, he will plunder part of the heaven and earth's return to Luke.
The ferret wanted to slap itself in the face, and had to come up to ask how much it loved people.
Remembering the old grudge of the clan guardian, Quill finally raised his eyelids: "Anyway, I don't have to be struck by lightning."
No rush.
The saint was speechless.
It is better to go and breathe the air of the holy city as soon as possible.
The saint explained his purpose and planned to keep the ferret for a few days. The pharmacist's potion is of very ordinary effect. When Luke comes out of retreat, you can ask him to try to heal him with the power of faith. The power after becoming a god is incomparable to before, and perhaps it can help the ferret restore its original fur.
Facing the bald-tailed marten who had made a great effort at the last moment, Feather Pen rarely made matters worse and nodded.
It was a month later that Luke finally came out of seclusion.
Advanced potions and faith worked simultaneously, and after three courses of treatment, the ferret was actually saved, and its new fur became even more shiny and smooth.
Luke held up the mirror, and the ferret kept spinning around admiring itself.
He tilted his head to look at the quill and said, "I've been away for too long. I need to go back to the Demon Realm to inspect it as soon as possible."
The Demon Realm is a high-rise building built from a pile of loose sand, just like the magic structure they constructed, which is deformed and twisted, but does not hinder its operation.
I hope they didn't do anything naughty while I was away.
The feather pen nodded to indicate that it was okay.
Luke: "Let's go to Klin's watchtower first."
His feelings for the first place where he gave a speech were always a little deeper.
This is a statement made with high emotional intelligence, but the fact is that the people there are too tough and we have to keep an eye on them at all times.
Before setting off, the feather pen helped him think more comprehensively: "Don't ignore the Land of Exile. This place has never belonged to any tribe."
Because it is too desolate and has no resources, all ethnic groups disdain it.
"With your current status and position, you are fully capable of setting up a teleportation array, forming a safe zone, and promoting trade between the border town and the Stone City."
Luke raised an eyebrow: "Good idea!"
A new project was added to the schedule, and while on the road, Lujia was still thinking seriously about how to build a new safe zone. As we were almost there, our vision was filled with golden color.
In early autumn, a new magic field was built outside the Klin sentry tower. Many demons were transporting ore on the streets on both sides of the field. The magic mine discovered not long ago has now entered the mining stage. From a distance, it looks prosperous and harmonious.
A new city lord has recently taken office. He accompanied us on the inspection and introduced several industries that are currently being developed as a priority.
"Compulsory education has been universalized. Recently, I have been leading troops to capture children all over the city to go to school."
There is a demon who looks down on theoretical knowledge. As a demon, the city lord chooses to "fight violence with violence".
He was halfway through his report when a white light suddenly flashed before his eyes, followed by a scream.
It wasn't Luke who screamed, but a female voice.
Before he could react, a figure was knocked away into the air and lay on the ground vomiting blood.
Luke stood there calmly. The news that he had become a god was known to everyone in the continent, yet there were still people so foolish as to dare to assassinate him.
After being surprised for a second about Lujia's current strength, the new city lord was surprised for a second: "I was so scared. I thought we were back to our old ways."
Assassinating the devil is a traditional virtue of Klin Tower.
Luke snorted.
The assassin did not disguise herself. Her hair was mixed with blood and stuck to her skin covered with magic patterns. At this moment, she was gazing at Luke with hatred.
After confirming that the attacker was a witch, everyone suddenly felt that everything was normal. During the tenure of the previous Demon King, he neglected the Evil Knights and placed more emphasis on the Flame Hell Horses and Fallen Witches.
The witches are all extremely fanatical fans of the former demon king and would do anything for him.
Luke glanced at the assassin witch indifferently.
The news of the Demon King's death has spread, but it didn't make much of a splash. After the wanted order was issued, the Demon King fell from the altar in many people's hearts. Everyone is now more concerned about the loosening of the rules of the starry sky and whether he can become a god.
This understatement completely angered the witch. She looked at Luke with hatred and pain: "Many royal fathers and sons kill each other. It's simply a curse. Just wait and see..."
"You will die at the hands of your own child sooner or later!"
Luke sighed, "Sister, I'm a gay."
He does not give birth.
The witch was stopped by the inexplicable word "sister".
Seeing the quill that also treated her like an ant, she was able to barely interpret the possible meaning of the previous word.
The demons have no concept of keeping their chastity like a jade. As long as they have the essence and blood of one party, they can create life anytime and anywhere.
The witch naturally did not believe what Luke said and was convinced that he would die at the hands of his descendants.
Quill didn't bother to listen to the nonsense and was about to turn her into ashes with a snap of his fingers.
Luke held her hand to stop him: "Don't do this, I want to be a benevolent demon king."
"...Control her and don't let her die. Bury the Demon King's remains (for radiation protection) that I brought back with the Saint's relics. Then let her kneel in front of my parents' graves and silently read "My Demon King Father" every day to send them off to the grave."
Quill frowned.
Luke was willing to let the Demon King and the Saint be buried together, and he also forgave the Demon King so that she could accompany him at the Demon King's grave. This was simply a heavenly treatment for everyone who had hurt him.
On the side, the new city lord took a breath of cold air.
Is that magic talk?
The book satirizes the couple's hypocritical love, but they were buried together; and the witch not only had to recite the oath that the devil had made to the saint, but she had to read it on her knees.
It would be better to kill him.
Luke then gave an order to the new city lord: "By the way, spread the word about this matter."
He doesn't like killing, so he has never wiped out the devil's old forces, but that doesn't mean he is willing to tolerate countless moths coming here to get fire.
You are not a candle.
Those who rush around need to know that death is sometimes a luxury.
"Kill me, kill me!" the witch roared, but her consciousness was controlled by the fog and she couldn't self-destruct.
The thin thread was wrapped around the sharp finger bones, and the quill pen glanced at the new city lord who was still in a daze:
"What are you standing there for? Why don't you go to the grave and broadcast live."
The new city lord’s horrified face.
Luke was speechless.
The guards who arrived dragged the witch away.
Taking a deep breath, Luke watched them all the way.
Quill comforted: "Don't worry, even if we are thousands of miles apart, I can prevent the assassin from self-destructing."
The other party's wish of becoming a benevolent demon king will definitely be fulfilled.
The new city lord couldn't bear to listen any longer. Is this nonsense?
His face became serious, he calmed down and bowed his head and said flatteringly: "The prince sent a message to ask when you plan to hold the coronation ceremony."
The default is the default, but the most important process has not yet been completed.
Luke thought about it and decided that the statue had already been erected, so there was no need to delay.
"Seven days later, go and inform them to prepare. I will write the invitation letters to several tribes myself."
Following this order, the entire Demon Realm suddenly became boiling. It was no small matter for the Demon King to ascend to the throne. It only happened once every few hundred years on average! Luke now has overwhelming support everywhere, and some demons even tried to buy invitations from the black market for their collection.
The invitation letter sent by Luke himself was indeed worth the price, and just like the coronation ceremony, it was very ceremonial.
For example, the dragon tribe is the New Year's peripheral products of the Zaizai tribe, the elves are the latest developed records, and Luke gave the dwarves a design drawing.
The weaker races did not receive a personal invitation, but that did not stop them from trying to curry favor with the emperor.
While the various forces were busy showing goodwill, the royal capital was also busy at work.
The coronation ceremony was cumbersome and complicated. Before and after the fall of the Demon King, some princes were reshuffled and a power transition was experiencing. Each fiefdom also had to echo Luke's call and organize exchange and study activities, and they were simply too busy to handle it.
In the end, the responsibility fell on a few idle magicians.
The crown princes were ordered to monitor every link with no desire to live. The third prince asked Alicia: "Do we have to live in such humiliation?"
Alicia: "You want to live stream from the grave too?"
She was not on Luke's side, reality was just that cruel.
Everyone shut up instantly.
The Sixth Prince had little hope of inheriting the throne, so he was the most open-minded. "My father lost his life, the nobles lost their privileges, and we are still the crown prince."
It's just standing still, and it's not worth being sad about.
“…”
Some are humiliated, some are open-minded, some are thinking about the future... In short, individual will cannot change the outcome. Due to the upcoming grand ceremony, the Demon Realm is in a joyous atmosphere.
Due to the distance issue, the first group to receive the invitation was the human race.
The saint has returned to the holy city and is playing chess with the astrologer at the observatory. After reading the invitation letter, he handed it to the curious astrologer opposite him.
Seeing the old demon reminded the astrologer of the past. He sighed at the end of the previous demon king, and then asked, "Aren't you anxious? That kid has become a god."
The saint shook his head: "I never use individual successes to spur myself on."
After finishing this game, he entered the witch's live broadcast room and swiped an airship online.
[Please say thank you for me at the devil's grave.] 】
Thanks to his sacrifice of the plane, the rules of the two worlds were loosened, and he could see the hope of becoming a god.
Witch: “!!!” She was going crazy.
The captain of the guards next to him reminded: "Your Highness means that when you earn 100 million to help the poor and lonely, you will be free again."
Thinking that there would never be light of day, there was a sudden turn of events. The nearly collapsed witch looked at the number one brother on the list and entered into a difficult ideological struggle.
The sun rose and the moon set, and seven days passed quickly.
A day or two in advance, powerful forces arrived with valuable gifts. On the day of the ceremony, the entire royal city was more lively than ever before.
No matter how many demon kings have come and gone, the capital will always be vast and magnificent. Sky islands are supported by magic and technology. Although the aristocracy has been abolished, the dungeon is still strictly hierarchical.
The influence of some old laws cannot be eliminated, and in the confrontation between hierarchy and law, the center of power instead takes on a mysterious luster.
On that day, the most elite soldiers of the demon clan were dressed neatly, put away their usual unruly emotions, and strictly guarded each checkpoint.
Facing congratulations from all sides, they were all proud and stood still with silver spears in their hands.
"Look, the Elf King." A former noble was shocked: "The Elf King is here in person."
This person used to be unwilling to participate in all court meetings and was known to dislike crowds.
"Nonsense, our king is a god now, who wouldn't give him face? I heard that they used to have a good relationship."
When the old nobles saw the representatives of those forces who came in person, the last bit of resentment in their hearts disappeared.
Among all the forces, the dragon tribe has been building a safe zone. The demon tribe was not very surprised to see the dragon, but the arrival of Nellie from the dwarf tribe caused a different kind of cheers.
"Forging God" has made the mainland's aesthetics more diverse: "Miss Nellie is still as beautiful as ever."
The figures of visitors from afar disappeared one after another at the entrance of the dungeon. The crown princes had not been raised in vain by the former demon king for so many years. The huge and prosperous underground city was well-arranged, with a dedicated receptionist, and every process went smoothly.
Inside the palace, pillars with coiled dragons stand majestically.
The sculptures designed on the dome cast shadows, and under the highest throne, the demon musicians struck gold and stone, and bells and drums rang out.
The guests were arranged to sit at seats on both sides. The prince and the lords of the central city had already been dressed neatly and were standing on the long carpet in the center with solemn expressions.
All the previous demon kings ascended the throne at dusk. The etiquette officer set the time accurately, and the magnificent gate at the end opened automatically.
From the moment Luke appeared, the hall, which had been somewhat noisy, automatically fell silent.
All eyes were focused on the young man's body.
His long velvet robe dragged on the ground, and his beauty was as gorgeous as a crown made of pure gold. The Sage's Sword, which wanted to join in the fun, hung at his waist, adding a sense of sharpness to his temperament.
Today's protagonist had all the glory. Quill watched Luke step by step on the thick carpet, slowly walking towards a higher place, with an expression that was rarely gentle.
The last section of the road is neither long nor short.
"Demon King..."
Luke silently repeated two words in his heart, with mixed emotions.
As the sonata played, the unpleasant memories of his childhood and everything in his adulthood intertwined and confused each other, and his hand on the scabbard tightened slightly.
The palace was very large, and the long carpet leading to the highest point was still some distance away. Luke did not stare at the throne, but glanced to both sides from time to time, looking at those familiar faces.
One step after another.
Walk up the stairs and look straight at the throne.
When he turned around, all the demon nobles saluted in unison: "May the king and the starry sky stay forever!"
The congratulations were uniform and echoed inside and outside the hall.
There is no religion in the Demon Realm, and the king is the complete ruler of a realm. Luke did not bend down and put the crown on himself with his own hands.
Bathed in the glory of the crown, he calmed down a little and a small stack of papers appeared in his hand.
Now only the last part of the coronation ceremony remains: the new king’s speech.
Then there was a grand banquet.
The intensive live broadcast equipment that was only used when returning to hunt was activated. Facing the gazes of countless people, Luke began his declaration of office:
"Hello fellow demons, hello to all the visitors from afar."
The air was silent for a moment.
It would be fine to just say hello, but why do you have to stop afterwards?
Lillian, who was specially invited, understood immediately and clapped rhythmically. Everyone realized it later and started clapping together.
Just before the applause died down, Luke continued, "It is autumn again, and the harvest is good."
The solemn and great atmosphere suddenly took a 180-degree turn: "I am very happy to succeed the Demon King today. I deeply feel the honor of the mission, the responsibility on my shoulders, and the expectations of you all."
"As a demon king, I will keep my original aspirations, continue to vigorously develop the cultural and entertainment industry, enrich people's lives, be brave to take responsibility, and take positive actions..."
The expressions of the people below gradually changed from serious to →(O口O).
Luke finished reading the first one and turned the page to continue reading the second one.
Speaking at a leisurely pace, he soon began the journey to the third photo.
As time passed, his expression changed from (O口O) to (￣o￣)+.+z+Z.
I feel sleepy after listening to it.
It was Luke’s first time as a demon king, and he was still a little unexperienced.
He wrote the speech based on the school meeting in his previous life plane, and specially prepared a massive twenty-minute speech.
The Third Prince couldn't help it, and secretly sent a message to Alicia nearby: "I read a novel these two days. Is this the standing rule mentioned in the novel? He is punishing us to stand."
Alicia: “…”
Just shut up.
Also, what the hell are you watching?
Over at the guest table, the saint lowered his head and pretended to drink tea. Leo found it miraculous that he actually felt sleepy now, which was more effective than the dream-resting grass.
Nellie was so sleepy that she almost fell asleep under the table, while the Elf King was still trying to figure out whether Luke's voice was also cursed.
Only Quill listened carefully and thought Luke was very talented in writing. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to appreciate it for long, as Luke only read it for less than half an hour.
There was thunderous applause at the end.
Every guest's face was filled with real joy. Finally, the speech was finished. You have to know that in the past, the devil's speech was just a few sentences. To sum it up: I came, I saw, I conquered.
This type of thing is unheard of.
The city lord and the princes seemed to be thinking, should they follow the example of the new king and make the same preparations in the future?
After the last round of congratulations, all the demons present bowed their heads slightly, all distracting thoughts gone, and they once again performed the standard salute in unison.
Luke sat casually on the throne, his consciousness instantly spreading through the statue standing in the Demon Realm -
The vast mountains and rivers are right before your eyes.

Excerpt from Luke's diary:
I would like to dedicate this article to the visitors who have witnessed the growth of the Demon King outside the long river of history. May the starlight and good luck be with you.
