Who told him to rush up there?.

As the Elf Queen finished her words, those who were lucky enough not to be stunned suddenly woke up. They looked at Eli, who was standing proudly in the front row of the viewing platform, shining brightly against the backdrop of the two most noble and strongest elves, and they couldn't help but lose their minds again.

Demigod, what an unattainable and powerful position, but there are people who can successfully reach it at the age of twenty.

This move was absolutely unprecedented. No historical material, not even the most exaggerated unofficial history, had ever recorded such an astonishing and extraordinary genius.

To be honest, even the popular knight novels nowadays dare not write such a protagonist, because if they really write one, the author will definitely be criticized by readers, who will scold him for not having the most basic common sense.

But perhaps Eli was born to break people's cognition. He was not well-known in the first twenty years of his life, and his name was not even known outside the imperial capital of the Dawn Empire. But after he was twenty years old, every time his name appeared in people's ears, everything he did was shocking.

It was hard to imagine that there really was such a terrifying person in the world. If he was given another ten years, this guy might dare to ascend to the Pantheon to show them...

"Elai, congratulations... Your talent and background guarantee your breakthrough into a demigod, but don't forget the gift from the goddess."

On the other side, after the Elf Queen congratulated Eli, the High Priest followed up with a sentence. She didn’t ask for anything else, but just wanted Eli to remember that his achievements today were helped by the Goddess of Life. The young man was a good person and he should repay the kindness.

"He's a demigod... Damn it, I'm still one step behind..."

Princess Luna, who was not far away, looked at Eli, who was in high spirits between the two beautiful women, the Queen Mother and the High Priest, and she murmured somewhat unwillingly.

She thought that after receiving the extra blessing package, the distance between her and Eli would be shortened, but she didn't expect that Eli was more ruthless than her and actually broke through to the demigod level with the help of the blessing. You know, the difference between a half-step demigod and a true demigod is not only the massive amount of energy, but also many other shackles, otherwise the blessing she received would not be enough for her to break through to the demigod level.

But in the end she failed because she was lacking in spirit, body or some other aspect. But Eli had everything ready except the last step. With the blessing of the goddess, he succeeded in breaking through.

Originally, although there was some gap between the two of them, it was not out of reach. However, with Eli's successful advancement to demigod, the gap between them immediately widened. If there were no accidents or adventures, she might have been suppressed by Eli for ten or eight years or even longer.

"Is this the power of a demigod..."

Eli has now regained all his focus, carefully experiencing the power he has gained after his successful transformation. It is a completely different experience from the previous half-step to demigod. They may seem to be only half a level apart, but the strength difference is a whole level.

It's no exaggeration to say that he feels that he can now beat ten times as many people as he did ten minutes ago, which means that his combat power has increased by more than ten times.

If he were to meet the Demon King again at this time, he would not need to join forces with anyone. He could kill the Demon King with his axe alone.

However, he is not 100% satisfied with his current state. At least his current demigod status is not particularly compatible with him. He advocates the aesthetics of violence and pursues extreme output, unstoppable speed, and unparalleled power.

But now, his divinity is full of vitality, long-lasting and profound meaning. It is the divinity of the Goddess of Life. For him, it is a little distorted.

What he wants is explosive output, so he only adds points to strength and attack, while the divinity of the Goddess of Life increases blood volume and endurance. Although both are good attributes for the warrior profession, the blood cow warrior and the berserker are obviously not on the same path.

This divinity needs to be changed. Although there are no conditions to change it now, if there is a chance in the future, I will still have to create a more violent divinity.

However, Eli just felt that it was not perfect, and he did not think there was anything wrong with it. He was not the type of player who relied purely on hard work. He would break through whenever he could and would never suppress his level for any reason. Even though there were certain drawbacks to breaking through with the help of the divinity of the Goddess of Life, he did not care too much.

After all, a demigod is still a demigod, and a half-step is just a half-step. The combat effectiveness of the two cannot be mentioned in the same breath. Eli does not have so much time to pursue perfection in all aspects. There are only thirty years left before the fall of the continent. Every year earlier he breaks through, the more likely his goal of saving the world will be achieved.

Only a fool would do something like suppressing the level. Of course, the stronger the better. Not every time you fight with the enemy you can make a breakthrough. If you can crush them with strong force, there is no need to fight on equal terms.

"Thank you both beauties for your help, otherwise I would have made a fool of myself before I could make a breakthrough."

After carefully experiencing his current strength, Eli clasped his fists and bowed to both sides. It was indeed thanks to their great help and their hard work in sucking him hard, otherwise he would not have been as calm as he is now and would have been in a miserable state and had to use his unique crotch-covering skill.

"I hope you have successfully broken through. Judging from your aura, you should be considered a loyal believer of the goddess. From now on, we will be a family."

The Elf Queen nodded to Eli, seeming to admire his current state very much. Only when he looks so energetic can he be the son-in-law of the elves. His previous rough appearance with the big axe was simply a beauty and a beast.

"We are a family. Don't forget that Princess Luna is already my elf."

Eli chuckled when he heard this. He might not be a staunch believer in the Goddess of Life, but now he could probably be considered Her fan. After all, since he had borrowed Her divinity, he had to trust her a little bit, otherwise it would be too rude.

"Luna is Luna, and you are you. With the blessing of the goddess, you can't get rid of the life mark on your body... Well, you have also broken through. My sister and I will leave first. The festival cannot be interrupted for a long time."

Having said that, the Elf Queen stood up and left in a graceful manner, and the High Priest also left after taking a deep look at Eli. After all, it was still at a critical juncture of the Elf Ceremony, and these two important figures could not always stay by his side.

However, the subsequent sacrificial ceremonies hardly attracted people's attention. Everyone's attention shifted to Eli. He was now the most handsome guy on the street, the youngest demigod in history. Who wouldn't want to take a second look at him?
However, the elves' ceremony will not change regardless of whether outsiders are paying attention or not. Under the leadership of the Elf Queen, the High Priest and a group of elders, the ceremony proceeds in an orderly manner. It does not even stop at noon, and they do not even care about lunch for themselves and their guests.

It was not until the evening, when the sun was setting, that the grand ceremony came to a temporary end. The elves prepared a sumptuous dinner for the guests. This dinner was truly sumptuous. Although there was still no meat, the fruits and dishes on the banquet were all rare treasures. Just a few bites could prolong life and prevent all diseases. This was because the Elf Empire was rich and had abundant resources. Other empires, even the more powerful Dawn Empire, would not be willing to entertain foreign guests so lavishly.

Eli and the Dawn Empire's delegation sat at the top left of the hall, surrounded by high-ranking officials from the Elf Empire.

Only people from the six empires can sit in this hall and feast. It's not that the Elf Empire looks down on the Twelve Kingdoms and a number of principalities, but mainly because the Elf Empire does not build buildings. Their hall is actually converted from a huge tree hole with limited capacity, and can only accommodate so many guests.

Therefore, the envoys from the Twelve Kingdoms and many principalities could only feast outside the palace. The Elf Empire did not have any distinction between high and low classes, and the dishes in front of everyone were exactly the same.

After the dinner started, everyone toasted the Elf Queen first. She was the host of the place and the most powerful person present, so it was only natural for her to do so.

After the toast, everyone was free to drink, but most of them kept their eyes on Eli. They really wanted to have a drink or two with Eli to get closer to him, but this was a dinner hosted by the elves after all, and they didn't want to act too much, so as not to embarrass the host.

Eli, who was being watched by everyone, didn't care about that. He looked around with his wine glass in hand. The envoys from the other four empires were nothing to look at, and his own people were even less interesting. The big sisters from the elves were still the most attractive...

At the main seat, in addition to the Elf Queen and the High Priest whom he had seen before and was now familiar with, Eli saw the Grand Elder of the Elf Tribe for the first time. Compared with the Elf Queen and her sisters who were in their prime, the Grand Elder of the Elf Tribe was a real old elf.

Although her appearance is at most that of a middle-aged human woman, and she still has some charm, her old age lies not in her looks but in her mental state.

It was hard for Eli to imagine that a powerful demigod-level elf warrior could have such a heavy aura of decadence, as if he was a dying person half buried in the ground. With her strength, she could live for at least thousands of years. Even those young and beautiful elf girls outside could not live longer than her. How did she end up like this?

"Eli Bruno... the goddess's favorite..."

Eli did not look directly at the Great Elder foolishly, but the other party's extremely sharp perception still caught his gaze.

So during the dinner, the great elder raised the fruit wine in his hand, pointed it at Eli from a distance, then murmured his name and drank the wine in the glass.

Given her status and seniority, it was naturally inconvenient for her to toast Eli, but during the blessing session during the day, Eli's status as the "goddess's darling" was obvious to all, so she had to have a drink with him.

The homemade fruit wine of the elves has a low alcohol content. It is more like a flavored drink of wine than wine. Even if you pour a jar of it, it may not make you drunk. However, the great elder seemed to be unable to hold his liquor. He started talking nonsense after drinking only one glass.

"The goddess thinks so highly of Eli, but Your Majesty, you only arranged three elf marriages for him?"

"Besides, with Luna's status, how can they be worthy of Eli? He is the one that the goddess values ​​the most, and he should be matched with the most noble elf in the Elf Empire."

"I propose that you cancel Luna's engagement with him and that Your Majesty, the Queen, recruit him as the emperor of the Elf Empire. From now on, he and you should rule the Elf Empire together..."

Slowly putting down the wine glass in her hand, the Great Elder spoke these words in a very calm tone. It was obvious that she had not discussed her sudden nonsense with any elves in advance, so that the other members of the Elders' Council looked at her in astonishment.

Although the Great Elder did not intentionally increase the volume just now, the simple hall of the elves is only this big, and most of the people present are cultivators, so how could they not hear the words clearly.

"This……"

"This……"

Not only were the elven elders who were qualified to attend the banquet stunned, but even the envoys from various empires who came to attend the banquet were speechless.

What the Great Elder said seems to make some sense, but if you think about it carefully, it is somewhat terrifying.

Asking Her Majesty to recruit a royal husband and rule the empire together with the royal husband, is this really giving face to the goddess of life, or is there a hint of fighting for power or even forcing the emperor to abdicate?
Today's Elf Empire seems prosperous and still maintains the majesty of the Second Empire, but everyone knows that with the fall of the Goddess of Life and the loss of the immortality of the elves, they may still be able to suppress the two empires at the end based on their current strength, but the Dragon Kingdom and the Sea Kingdom will sooner or later surpass them.

After all, Lord Dragon God and Lord Sea God are not only powerful gods, but most importantly, they are still alive and can continue to protect their believers.

In this world where gods are supreme, having the protection of gods and not having the protection of gods are two completely different concepts. The decline of the Elf Empire is inevitable, and all that is lacking is time.

Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that chaos broke out within the Elf Empire. After all, even a great empire in its most prosperous period was divided into progressive and conservative factions, let alone an empire in turmoil.

Everyone present here is in the officialdom, and those who know about this kind of thing know that the Great Elder must be dissatisfied with some of the decisions made by the Elf Queen, and may even be dissatisfied with her as an elf, otherwise he would not have dragged Eli into this to flatter the Elf Queen.

She said that she wanted Her Majesty to recruit a royal husband. In fact, with his origin in the Dawn Empire of Eli, he is now a demigod. Is it possible for him to marry into the Elf Empire and become a royal husband who has some power?
Moreover, what was Eli's previous identity? He was the elf consort chosen by the Elf Queen, and the future husband of her daughter, the Elf Princess. How shameless did she have to be to compete with her own daughter for a man?
If this matter were to be made public, it would not only be a scandal of competing for the title of "Bai Rice Bowl", but also a disgrace that would extremely damage the dignity of the Queen. What the Great Elder was doing was not just a proposal, but an attempt to use Eli's fist to hit the Elf Queen in the face.
