Becoming the Demon Lord: Taming the Demon Queen Begins

"The Goddess is back!"

"And Senior Brother Timothy... he's back too!"

At Sky Sanctuary, the disciples' gazes were instantly drawn to the two figures gracefully approaching from the horizon.

But soon, their eyes widened in disbelief.

"Why does it look like the Goddess is... really happy?"

"Happy? That's an understatement! Since I joined Sky Sanctuary, I've never seen her in such a good mood!"

They could clearly see Sylvia walking lightly through the air, her every step as graceful as a butterfly in flight. Her flowing blue gown fluttered gently with her movements, like a delicate dance in the breeze.

More importantly, Sylvia's steps were unusually light, as if she was in an exceptionally good mood. She moved with such ease that it almost seemed like she was dancing, her elegant dress swaying beautifully with each step.

And then there was Timothy, walking beside her. The disciples had already guessed that the Goddess had gone out on a date. But what they hadn't expected was just how happy she would be afterward.

It was obvious—Sylvia had thoroughly enjoyed the date. She was practically glowing, maybe even... a little lost in the moment!

"My heart... it hurts so much!"

"Same here, man!"

The once-distant and aloof Goddess, who rarely left the grand hall, was now going on regular dates. And to make matters worse, she was constantly flaunting her relationship, showering everyone with what felt like an endless stream of PDA.

Tears welled up in the disciples' eyes. They had no idea how they were going to survive this new reality of daily love displays.

No wonder Holy Maiden Aeliana hadn't dared to visit the Goddess recently. Who could stomach this much public affection?

"Do-do, do~ do-do..."

As Sylvia passed by, her steps light and carefree, she even hummed a soft, cheerful tune. The disciples could only watch in stunned silence.

"Uh... what's with those looks?"

After walking past the disciples and a few High Priests, Timothy couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine. The sharp gazes from the crowd were like daggers, as if they were wolves ready to pounce.

He used to be highly respected in the sect, but now... the shift in attitude was a bit too much.

It was like being in school, where the entire class of boys had been secretly admiring the untouchable, ice-cold goddess. Then, one day, she publicly announces she's dating you, and the two of you walk down the hall, hand in hand, showing off your love for everyone to see.

The emotional damage? Absolutely legendary.

Timothy awkwardly averted his gaze. It was just like that girl from the Themyscira Sect had said—he was now the enemy of every man in the world. Even at the level of a Holy Emperor, he still had to tread carefully.

Under the weight of all those piercing stares, Timothy finally made it back to his room.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host! You've successfully changed the mindset of the female disciples of the Themyscira Sect by showing off your love with the Goddess.

You've saved countless views on love and are expected to help bring at least a thousand new lives into the world on the continent of Elant.

Saving lives will earn you divine blessings. Host, you've just saved a thousand lives—what a virtuous act!

System Reward: Sky Sanctuary's mountain spirit veins have been unlocked. Host's comprehension ability has been greatly enhanced.]

"A thousand new lives?"

Timothy was stunned for a moment by the sudden reward.

He hadn't expected that the once love-averse disciples of the Themyscira Sect would... well, be so fertile in the future.

Being a good guy sure came with some unexpected perks.

"But... unlocking spirit veins?"

Just as Timothy was pondering this, the mountains beneath Sky Sanctuary began to tremble. A crack suddenly appeared, splitting the mountain in half in an instant.

"What's happening?"

Nearby, the disciples of Sky Sanctuary also felt the tremor at the same time.

Sky Sanctuary was built atop a rich vein of spiritual energy, where the air was thick with vitality, and the mountains themselves were as solid as iron, unshakable. Even when faced with attacks from Holy Emperor-level beings, the mountains had never suffered any damage.

So what could have possibly happened to cause a crack to appear in the mountain?

"Could it be an enemy attack?"

"To cause such destruction, it must be at least a Holy Emperor-level force! We need to inform the Goddess immediately!"

Even the nearby elders looked panicked, preparing to act. But just as they were about to move, an overwhelming surge of spiritual energy erupted from the crack in the ground. The energy shot into the sky, quickly spreading in all directions, enveloping Sky Sanctuary.

The disciples were stunned, their faces pale with shock. They hurriedly tried to retreat, hoping to escape the thick mist that was rapidly expanding. But as they found themselves trapped within the mist, they realized something unexpected. Stay connected via My Virtual Library Empire

"This mist... it's spiritual energy! And it's incredibly pure, even denser than the energy at the peak of the mountain!"

"Where is all this spiritual energy coming from?"

The disciples, unaware that there were spiritual veins hidden deep within the mountains of Sky Sanctuary, were astonished. And to their delight, they quickly realized that the benefits of this energy were extraordinary.

As they stood within the mist, they could feel their cultivation advancing at a speed several times faster than usual. Even the impurities within their bodies were being cleansed, purified by the dense spiritual energy.

Not knowing what had caused this, many disciples, overjoyed, began to sit down in meditation, using the abundant energy to cleanse their bodies and rapidly improve their cultivation.

Meanwhile, inside his room, Timothy sat alone, his eyes closed, focusing his mind.

Since reaching the Holy Emperor level, Timothy had noticed that his connection with the world around him had been growing stronger. With each breath, it felt as though he was moving with the wind. Even with his eyes shut, he could clearly sense everything around him.

Whether it was a flower, a blade of grass, a falling leaf, or even the dust particles floating in the air, Timothy could see it all in his mind's eye.

As he concentrated, the pure spiritual energy around him seemed to be drawn toward him, swirling like a vortex, gathering at the center where he sat. The energy continued to accumulate, becoming more and more refined as it was filtered through the vortex.

The spiritual energy became so pure that it began to condense into a liquid form, which was slowly absorbed through Timothy's skin. The space around him trembled under the pressure of the immense energy.

Suddenly, Timothy exhaled.

In an instant, a powerful force erupted from within him, sweeping through the room and shattering the surrounding spiritual energy. Even the oppressive atmosphere that had been hanging in the air moments before vanished in an instant.

Everything returned to calm.

The strange phenomenon that had just occurred disappeared as quickly as it had come.

Timothy slowly opened his eyes. In just a brief moment, his cultivation had surged, breaking through to the mid-stage of the Transcendence Realm at an astonishing speed.

But despite the rapid breakthrough, Timothy's brow furrowed.
