Helena Diss, the Earth Goddess, smiled, "Of course, Your Majesty, my Holy Lord!"
"If it weren't for you saving me back then, I might still be in slumber, never to awaken."
The Elf Goddess also said:
"If it weren't for Your Majesty, the Holy Lord, bringing such immense power to vanquish the demon race from another world, the Primordial Continent would have once again plunged into a life-or-death catastrophe."
"It is all because of you that the Primordial Continent can once again possess life."
"God of Life! It suits you perfectly!"
Xiao Mo fell silent upon hearing this, feeling that it was indeed true. For a moment, he was no longer so averse to this title.
When Helena Diss, the Earth Goddess, placed the crown upon his head, a cheer erupted from within once more.
This cheer was louder than any before.
Countless people were cheering for him. At this moment, someone took the lead and knelt down, shouting:
"Our God of Life—His Highness Prince Xiao Mo!"
"God of Life!"
"God of Life!"
"Oh, God of Life!"
"..."
After the first person knelt, a second and then a third quickly followed.
Soon, there was no one standing on the ground. Even those as high as the Elf Goddess, the Lord of Gods, were kneeling on the ground.
They cheered for Xiao Mo's coronation.
Even Jesse Qionxi, the God of Cataclysm, and Xue Tu, the Lord of Annihilation, had now arrived.
In their hearts, Jesse Qionxi, the God of Cataclysm, and Xue Tu, the Lord of Annihilation, had initially not wanted to attend this grand occasion.
However, for some unknown reason, after the Elf Goddess explained their purpose.
Jesse Qionxi, the God of Cataclysm, and Xue Tu, the Lord of Annihilation, found themselves with no right to refuse.
Unconsciously, they agreed.
Now that they were here, Jesse Qionxi, the God of Cataclysm, and Xue Tu, the Lord of Annihilation, felt the atmosphere and involuntarily knelt down.
They once again submitted to Xiao Mo.
This time, the third time, without Xiao Mo releasing his abilities, everyone prostrated before him with not a trace of resentment in their hearts.
"Long live the God of Life! Long, long live!"
"The God of Life forever resides in my heart!"
"The God of Life, our eternal guardian!"
"I am willing to pay with my life to serve our God of Life, His Highness Prince Xiao Mo!"
"..."
Under these cheers, Xiao Mo suddenly felt the power of faith within him stir once more.
It was as if an unknown force was slowly flowing into his body, nourishing his divine power.
This time, the power of faith was stronger and more profound than ever before.
It brought him into a mysterious state, as if his entire soul had detached from his physical body.
Entering a third-person perspective, he began to watch the scene unfold before him.
He found the sensation peculiar. At this moment, a mechanical voice suddenly echoed in his ear.
[Congratulations, Player, you have reached the opportunity to travel to the next world!]
[Game Official]!
It was the [Game Official] that had returned.
Xiao Mo was greatly surprised. Hearing the voice of the [Game Official] again felt like listening to celestial music.
" [Game Official], where have you been all this time? We've called out to you every day, but you never responded?"
Upon hearing the voice of the [Game Official], Xiao Mo was pulled out of that ethereal state.
His soul returned to his body once more.
The [Game Official] seemed to pause, as if contemplating how to answer Xiao Mo's question.
[I went for an upgrade.]
Xiao Mo was somewhat surprised by this reply.
He hadn't expected that the [Game Official] would also need to upgrade.
"But what was the opportunity you just mentioned? Can I enter the next world now?"
The [Game Official] replied with certainty.
[Indeed. Please prepare yourself, Xiao Mo, to enter the next world—the Upper God Realm!]
[Countdown has begun!]
[Ten!]
[Nine!]
[Eight!]
[...]
The [Game Official] counted rapidly.
Xiao Mo hadn't expected that this time he wouldn't need to agree; he would be directly transported to the next world.
"Ah, hey! Wait a moment, I'm not ready yet!"
However, the [Game Official] paid him no mind.
It continued to count incessantly:
[Four!]
[Three!]
[...]
At this very moment, everyone astonishingly discovered that a dazzling golden light had appeared on Xiao Mo, and his figure began to gradually fade.
Concurrently, a massive rift suddenly appeared in the sky.
The rift was filled with sacred light, and even celestial birds could be heard singing within.
The scene was breathtakingly beautiful.
It was like heaven itself.
Even the sun seemed to favor Xiao Mo at this moment, moving towards his direction.
The speed of its movement was exactly the same as the [Game Official]'s countdown.
Everyone was stunned, not understanding what was happening.
"What's happening? Why is a golden light descending upon Big Brother Xiao Mo?"
"Could it be that this world has also discovered Big Brother Xiao Mo's uniqueness and decided to bestow upon him the mark of the God of Life?"
"Heavens, this is a miracle! I've never seen anything like it!"
"All of this is because of His Majesty, the Sovereign of the Immortal-Demon Empire!"
"He is a great deity, our eternal deity!"
"Kneel quickly, this is the Lord summoning us!"
"..."
While everyone was still pondering what was happening,
Suddenly, a mechanical voice simultaneously entered the ears of all the territory lords.
[The Race Hegemony Tournament has concluded. The victor of this Hegemony Tournament is—His Majesty Xiao Mo, the Sovereign of the Immortal-Demon Empire!]
Upon seeing this message, the territory lords were instantly thrown into an uproar.
"What do you mean the Race Hegemony Tournament has ended? What will happen to us territory lords?"
"It ended so quickly? What did Xiao Mo do to win the Race Hegemony Tournament?"
"He has gained everyone's submission and was even crowned, so it was naturally Xiao Mo who won!"
"Now that Xiao Mo has won, what about us? Where do we territory lords go now?"
"Yes! What should we do now?"
"Are we being sent back, or are we staying here?"
"Heavens, I don't want to leave! I want to stay here. This has already become my second home!"
"Waaah, everyone at home has passed away, what am I going back for?"
"I don't want to go back either. Having seen the light, how can I endure darkness?"
"That's true. [Game Official], answer us quickly!"
"..."
