Becoming the Demon Lord: Taming the Demon Queen Begins

The Golden Silk Bamboo Scrolls had scattered across the entire continent of Elant, landing in the hands of the major sects and hidden realms of legend.

Yet, the golden trails they left in the sky still shimmered with a strange, otherworldly glow.

For a long moment, there was silence. Then, as practitioners across the land looked up, the world erupted into chaos.

Thousands of Golden Silk Bamboo Scrolls—thousands of invitations sent to the great sects.

Everyone knew exactly what this meant.

It had even triggered a celestial phenomenon. Such a grand spectacle hadn't been seen in tens of thousands of years on the continent of Elant.

No one expected that after so many years, there would be another wedding between two Holy Emperor-level powerhouses.

But what made this even more shocking was that the bride wasn't just anyone—it was Goddess Sylvia!

Any other Holy Emperor might not have caused such a stir, but Goddess Sylvia was different.

"She only just returned from the Sepulcher of the Sacred, and it hasn't even been that long since she announced her relationship with Timothy. How is this happening so fast?!"

"Damn you, Timothy!"

Of course, the ones hit hardest by this news were the disciples of Sky Sanctuary.

They had gone to bed the night before, completely unaware that they'd wake up to such a sudden turn of events.

They looked up at the sky, hoping for some kind of miracle, but instead, they saw something that made everything painfully clear.

After the wedding invitations had been sent out to all corners of the world, the goddess immediately turned her gaze.

Her eyes, filled with a shy tenderness, landed on Timothy.

"Come on, I want to take you somewhere," she said softly, curling her finger in a beckoning gesture.

"Huh?" Timothy looked a little confused. "The wedding's tomorrow. Shouldn't we be spending the day getting everything ready? Where do you want to go, honey?"

"I can get all that stuff done quickly. But before that, there's something more important we need to do."

"Something more important?" Timothy thought for a moment but couldn't figure it out.

"Idiot, didn't you say you wanted me to look my absolute best at the wedding?" Sylvia's eyes held a hint of playful reproach.

"Wait, are you saying you want to prepare... uh, I get it." Timothy smiled knowingly.

Without any hesitation, he stepped forward and stood by Sylvia's side.

In front of all the disciples of Sky Sanctuary, and even the High Priests, he didn't hesitate for a second. He reached out and took her slender, smooth hand. Explore new worlds at My Virtual Library Empire

As their skin touched, Sylvia visibly flinched for a moment, her fingers curling slightly in surprise at the public display of affection.

But soon, a soft, serene smile appeared on her lips.

Not only did she reach out again, intertwining her fingers with Timothy's, but their hands seemed to hold tighter than ever before. Even their shoulders slowly leaned into each other.

They stepped into the air, as if walking across the surface of a lake, moving together toward the distant horizon.

All that was left behind were two figures, gently leaning on each other, looking inseparable.

"Goddess…"

For a moment, the disciples of Sky Sanctuary stood frozen, staring at the two figures disappearing into the distance.

It was so sweet it almost made their hearts ache.@@novelbin@@

But for some reason, when they saw the goddess take Timothy's hand and intertwine her fingers with his, many of them suddenly felt a sense of peace.

They had followed the goddess, revered her, and even harbored distant, unattainable feelings of admiration.

But deep down, they knew that for every member of Sky Sanctuary, no matter how much envy, jealousy, or bitterness they felt…

What they truly wanted was for the goddess to be happy.

"Damn that Timothy! Well, I guess he's got the skills to back it up. Since it's come to this, I'll just have to give my blessing to their love. After all, it is Goddess Sylvia we're talking about…"

"Hmph, fine. Timothy's a genius who reached Holy Emperor level in just a few years, so I guess I can accept it. But he better not even think about mistreating or disappointing Goddess Sylvia. Even if I'm not that strong, I'll still stand up for her if I have to!"

"But for now, I'll just wish him well."

The disciples of Sky Sanctuary all looked up in unison, watching the two figures disappear into the distance. Many of them couldn't help but smile.

Even though the goddess had always been distant and untouchable, far beyond their reach, at this moment, they all felt a deep desire to protect her.

"What are you all standing around for? Tomorrow, Sky Sanctuary is hosting the wedding! All the top sects from across the Elant continent will be attending. Do you want to embarrass Sky Sanctuary?" Elder Turner suddenly spoke up, his gaze sweeping over the disciples.

"Yeah, let's get moving! We've only got one day left. We need to decorate Sky Sanctuary as quickly as possible. Tomorrow, it has to be so grand that every sect in the world will be in awe!"

"One day left… This is going to be a challenge."

"Challenge or not, we have to get it done. For Sky Sanctuary, for the goddess, we have to make it happen!"

"Exactly! Goddess Sylvia and Timothy have already done so much for Sky Sanctuary. Now it's our turn to give back."

"Hmph, Timothy, you better take good care of the goddess on your little date. Don't let us down!"

"Yeah, yeah! I used to hate it when Timothy showed off his relationship, but if he doesn't give us enough to swoon over at the wedding, I swear, even if I can't beat him, I'll still give him a piece of my mind!"

"Alright, brothers, follow me! Today, we're going to make Sky Sanctuary shine like never before!"

The first to step up was none other than Felix, who had been on the receiving end of many of Timothy's beatdowns.

"Haha, Felix, weren't you forced to call Timothy 'Great-Grandpa' last time? What's with the sudden enthusiasm? Don't tell me you've forgiven him?"

Felix gritted his teeth. "Forgiven? Of course not! Look at my face—do I look like someone who doesn't hold grudges? But this time, if Timothy can throw the most unforgettable wedding for the goddess and make her happy forever, I'll call him 'Great-Grandpa' ten times, a hundred times if I have to!"

"The men of the Felix family can take a beating, they can be cowards, but they're still real men. We're no pushovers. And this 'Great-Grandpa'? I'm ready to own it!"

"Hahaha, I always thought Felix was just a petty guy, but I guess he's got a bit of his ancestors' spirit in him after all."

"Of course! You think I called him 'Great-Grandpa' for nothing? Anyway, I've got work to do."

"Haha, same here. We've only got one day, no time to waste. Let's get to it. And let's hope Timothy gives it his all too."

"Let's go!"

Laughter echoed across the peak of Sky Sanctuary.

The old rivalries and grudges seemed to vanish in that moment, as if swept away by the wind.

Because now, all the disciples had one shared goal: the goddess's wedding!
