Throne of Gods: Divine thunder descends, and the Qilin descends upon the world!

Chapter 35 Moon Demon God, Crown of Inheritance
After making proper arrangements for the team, Yuehui disguised herself and blended into a traveling merchant caravan heading to the demon territory.

The caravan set out from the southeast fortress of the Warrior's Temple and traveled along the winding mountain road.

After six days and nights of trekking, they finally arrived at the border area between the Central Province of the Demon Realm.

"Let's part ways here," Yuehui said to the caravan leader.

"May the God of Light protect you." The leader made the sign of the cross on his chest.

Before leaving, Yuehui suddenly stopped: "May I ask how to address you?"

"My name is Taro," the leader said with a hearty laugh.

"Thank you, Taro!"

……

Once Yuehui confirmed that no one was around, she gently turned her finger and slowly removed the Moonbeam Ring.

As if moonlight pierced through the clouds, his originally handsome human appearance rippled and vanished like water.

An even more dazzling face gradually appeared—amethyst-like eyes that shimmered with starlight, a crescent moon mark on her forehead that shone like a new moon, and long, silver-purple hair that moved without wind.

Even his figure seemed to have grown taller, and every feature of his body exuded an innate nobility.

This is the true bearing of a Moon Demon noble.

Unlike his previous gentle and refined handsomeness when he was disguised, he now exuded a chilling aura that made people afraid to look directly at him, like a peerless sword drawn from its sheath.

"In that case, no other demons should come to provoke us." Moonlight gazed at his reflection in the stream, his fingertips lightly tracing the mark on his forehead.

As the water rippled, a face that bore a striking resemblance to the Moon Demon God appeared and disappeared.

He changed into a set of luxurious robes and strode toward the Narik Province.

...

After two days of trekking, Moonbeam finally arrived at the provincial center of the Moon Demon Clan.

Along the way, they encountered all sorts of demons—the hideous Hell Demons, the winged Demon Clan, the burly Rage Wave Clan, the Bull Demon Clan with bull heads, and the Bear Demon Clan with manes all over their bodies…

Whenever these demons encounter Yuehui, a similar scene unfolds: they first abruptly stop, then shrink back upon seeing Yuehui's appearance, and immediately kneel on one knee to pay their respects in the most respectful manner.

In the strict hierarchical system of the demon race, the Moon Demons revere beauty. The more perfect and flawless one's appearance, the nobler one's bloodline.

Yuehui's almost otherworldly handsome face, amethyst-like eyes, and the faint star and moon mark on his forehead all indicate that Yuehui possesses a noble status of at least viscount.

These demons didn't even dare to look directly at Yuehui's face, and could only humbly lower their heads.

They were afraid of inadvertently offending this noble being.

...

As Yuehui passed by the majestic Palace of the Moon Demon God, she unconsciously stopped in her tracks.

He gazed up at the luxurious palace built of moonstone, a complex emotion flashing in his purple eyes.

Once upon a time, this was also his home.

Although my memories are always of cold, empty marble corridors, at least there was my sister's warm embrace.

"Now that you're back, why don't you come in?"

Just as Moonbeam was about to turn and head towards Thunder Ruins, a clear, cold voice rang out in his mind.

The voice was both familiar and unfamiliar, causing his heart to skip a beat.

"Father.?"

Moonlight's pupils contracted slightly as she looked up at the terrace at the highest point of the palace.

There stood a tall, slender figure—his purple hair cascaded like a waterfall, his purple eyes were like an abyss, and his handsome appearance was otherworldly.

Even from this great distance, Moonbeam could confirm that it was the supreme being who ruled the entire Moon Demon race, the Moon Demon God Agares.

"Come in, perfect timing, I have something for you." Agares' voice rang in Yuehui's ears again. Yuehui pursed her lips, a complex emotion flashing in her purple eyes, before finally stepping into the palace she hadn't seen for ten years.

……

Moonlight stood in front of Agares's study and gently knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Pushing open the door, a familiar face came into view—time seemed to have left no trace on the face of the Moon Demon God Agares; he was still as handsome as he had been ten years ago.

Agares raised his purple eyes slightly and carefully examined his son: "Sixth rank, third level, not bad."

Yuehui pursed her lips and remained silent, her fingers unconsciously stroking the hem of her clothes.

"I heard you injured Anluxian?" Agares suddenly asked, his voice revealing neither joy nor anger.

Yuehui raised her eyes: "Is Father going to punish me?"

“Ha,” Agares chuckled, “If you’re not skilled enough, you deserve to die.”

The room fell silent, with only the faint hum of the magic crystal lamp.

"What did you just say you were going to give me?" Moonlight broke the silence first.

Agares stood with his hands behind his back: "Little Hui, do you know about the talents of our Moon Demon Clan?"

Seeing his son shake his head, he walked to the window: "The moon. As long as it's night, we are the strongest."

“Every Moon Demon can amplify their strength with the help of moonlight. On the night of the full moon, even the Demon God Emperor cannot defeat me under the full moon.”

(But you can't beat Fengxiu either.)
Yuehui thought to herself.

"So what Father wants to give me is related to this?" Yuehui asked.

“That’s right.” Agares’s voice was exceptionally clear in the moonlight. “When the Moon Demon awakens, in addition to its Moonlight talent, it will also awaken unique abilities.”

“And you,” Agares’s gaze deepened, “your bloodline is far more concentrated than that of the Moonlit Night, making you qualified to inherit the position of the Moon Demon God. I am very much looking forward to what abilities you will awaken.”

Before he finished speaking, something suddenly appeared in Agares' hand—a pale purple crystal crown that shimmered with a dreamlike halo under the moonlight.

"The Crown of Inheritance?!" Moonbeam's pupils constricted sharply.

He knew, of course, that each Demon God Pillar would produce a Demon God Crown and a Heritage Crown.

Wearing the Crown of the Demon God allows one to become a Demon God, while the Crown of Inheritance is a symbol of the successor.

"Yes, refine it." Agares nodded slightly.

As Yuehui received the crown of inheritance, she felt a mix of emotions.

This crystal crown must have once belonged to another Moon Demon, but now it has been handed to him.
(Could it be that the Crown Prince has been deposed?)
He took a deep breath and stared at the crystal crown in his hand that shimmered with purple light.

(What exactly will my Moon Demon talent be?)

He bit his fingertip, and a drop of crimson blood fell onto the crown of inheritance.

hum-

The crystal crown instantly transformed into a dazzling purple light, disappearing into the crescent moon mark on his forehead.

The crescent moon suddenly shone brightly, radiating a breathtaking brilliance.

A dazzling purple light suddenly erupted from Yuehui's body. With a casual wave of his hand, Agares instantly created a purple barrier that enveloped the study, isolating all the strange phenomena inside.

Just as the Moonshine Refining the Crown of Inheritance caused a violent fluctuation of dark elements, the light element spirit Yating within her body was startled and appeared in a panic along with Little Lei Ji.

Agares's purple eyes narrowed sharply as he stared intently at the holy light:
(A light element spirit? Xiao Hui can actually form a contract with a light element spirit furnace?)

(Can light and darkness truly coexist?)
