Outside the Luo God Palace, the Luo River roared. This was the intersection of the Luo River and the Luo River. The endless river flowed endlessly, filled with boundless vitality.
The Luo God Ceremony would begin here.
Thus, this region was heavily guarded with troops emitting a sharp aura guarding the two sides of the Luo River. It was so much so that there were even knights riding on lightning cranes in the sky to form a defensive net. With such an impregnable defence, not even a fly could fly in.
Looking into the distance, one could see that on the two sides of the Luo River, there was a sea of people that stretched to the end of one's sight and the commotion was resounding.
The citizens of the Luo God Clan were waiting for the appearance of their Empress.
They wanted to witness the success of the Luo God Ceremony and witness the moment when their Empress ascends to the throne.
This region had undoubtedly become the focal point of the entire Luo God Clan and Luo God City.
Boom!
Under the countless citizens' anticipation, an ancient bell finally resounded between the heavens and earth.
Whoosh!
When the bell rang out, several streaks of light flew out from the Luo God Palace and landed on a high platform above the Luo River.
The tall platform appeared as though it was made from white jade. Under the illumination of the sunlight, it emitted a sparkling luster, appearing extremely beautiful. However, at this moment, countless gazes did not even pause on it. Their gazes were all focused on the white jade platform, at the beautiful figure that caused the world to pale in comparison.
She stood prettily on the white jade platform. As the sunlight shone down, her long hair that was as bright as the Milky Way reflected a luster, dazzling the eyes. Her exquisite and flawless face, as well as her beautiful eyes, were like the most perfect work of art in the world.
Rustle!
When she appeared on the White Jade Platform.
In the distance, the seemingly endless sea of people had all knelt down, as if they had been blown by a gust of wind.
Every single gaze that looked at the silhouette on the platform was filled with reverence and fanaticism.
"We pay our respects to the Empress!"
Countless ear-deafening voices resounded throughout the entire Luo God City.
Fanatical voices echoed for a long time.
Seeing the enthusiasm of the citizens of the Luo God Clan, the other forces that came to watch the Luo God Ceremony couldn't help changing their expressions. They never expected that the Luo God Clan, which was on the verge of collapse a few years ago, would have such a united morale.
This caused them to involuntarily sigh. Their gazes were filled with amazement as they looked at the alluring figure on the white jade platform.
At this moment, they had no choice but to admit that there were always some people in this world who possessed a unique charm. That charm was able to ignore all difficulties and make people gather around her.
Clearly, the future Empress of the Luo God Clan belonged to this category.
On the white jade platform.
Luo Li looked at the countless kneeling figures as her delicate figure slightly leaned forward, her head slightly lowered, and she did not speak.
However, his elegance and nobility were still admirable.
"Empress!"
Behind Luo Li, two youths knelt down on one knee with their hands on their chests. They looked at the silhouette before them with fanatical expressions.
However, deep within their eyes, there was still a deep love hidden within.
Luo Li looked at the two of them. They were the most outstanding amongst the younger generations of the Luo God Clan. If Mu Chen was here, he would definitely be able to recognise them. They were the two youths that came to Hokuang Reiwon with Luo Tianshen.
One of them was Luo Qingya, while the other was Luo Xiu.
Over the past few years, their auras were still as tyrannical. They were already at the level of the Ninth Grade Perfection. Although Luo Li had given them the greatest resources to reach this level at this age, it was obvious that they were outstanding.
"There will definitely be people trying to disrupt the Luo God Ceremony. I hope that you guys can do your best to stop them." Luo Li said.
Over the years, Luo Qingya and Luo Xiu had practically controlled the entire troop of the Luo God Clan, possessing great rallying power in the military.
"Unless I die, I will not allow my enemies to appear before you."
Luo Qingya smiled. Although his voice was gentle, there wasn't any hesitation or wavering in it.
"Even if I die, my corpse will be wrapped around my enemies so that they won't taint your eyes." Luo Xiu grinned. His smile was filled with determination and killing intent.
With a smile, Luo Li gently shook his head. "Don't die."
Luo Qingya and Luo Xiu felt warmth in their hearts as they nodded their heads. They abruptly stood up and flew towards each other's troops. They wouldn't allow any flies to disturb Luo Li, even if they had to pay with their lives.
Looking at the departure of Luo Qingya and Luo Xiu, Luo Li swept a glance at another direction. There was also a troop with three elders leading them. The three of them were emanating powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuations, they were Lesser Earth Sovereigns!
However, there wasn't any joy in Luo Li's eyes when he saw the three Lesser Earth Sovereigns. On the contrary, there was a smear of coldness in his eyes. That's because those three Earth Sovereigns were a branch of the Luo God Clan's royal family.
In the Luo God Clan, they were the strongest force aside from the royal family.
But it was a pity that they weren't absolutely loyal to the royal family. On the contrary, they had been trying to weaken the influence of the royal family. If it wasn't for Luo Tianshen's suppression, they would have long made a move to seize the throne.
So in this Luo God Ceremony, not only could Luo Li not rely on them, he even had to guard against them.
"Uncle Tianlong." Luo Li called out.
Standing behind Luo Li, the robust middle-aged man beside Luo Tianshen took a step forth and bowed. His name was Luo Tianlong, one of the two Lesser Earth Sovereigns of the Luo God Clan's royal family aside from Luo Tianshen.
In the early years, he and Luo Li's father were sworn brothers. But with the death of Luo Li's father, he had gone into seclusion due to the internal strife of the Luo God Clan. But after Luo Li returned, he had personally invited him several times.
"Please keep an eye on those people over there." Luo Li said to Luo Tianlong.
Luo Tianlong was only a Lesser Earth Sovereign, so it was a little forceful for him to keep an eye on three Lesser Earth Sovereigns. But with the decline of the Luo God Clan's royal family, this was the last helper that Luo Li could mobilize.
Hearing Luo Tianlong's words, Luo Tianlong nodded his head without any hesitation.
"It's been tough on you." Luo Li smiled.
Luo Tianlong grinned. "Your father's greatest contribution to the Luo God Clan is to give birth to such an outstanding daughter. I believe that the Luo God Clan will grow stronger in your hands!
So, no matter what, you just need to order me around! "
As his voice faded, he did not wait for Luo Li to reply and directly shot forward, landing in between the group and the white jade platform. After which, he shot an indifferent glance at those restless fellows, as undisguised killing intent gushed out from his face. Clearly, this was a warning.
In that direction, the three elders also glanced at Luo Tianlong expressionlessly. Then, they turned to look at the beautiful figure on the white jade platform with complicated gazes.
After Luo Tianlong left, Luo Li looked at Luo Tianshen and nodded her head.
"Let's begin."
Luo Tianshen deeply inhaled a mouthful of air. Luo Li's arrangements were perfect, which made him feel gratified. However, he knew that this wasn't the only thing that they had to guard against, which Luo Li should be well aware of.
This Luo God Ceremony would probably be the most dangerous one in recent years.
But no matter how dangerous it was, they had no path of retreat.
Dense spiritual light blossomed on the white jade platform as it gradually formed into a white jade lotus platform beneath Luo Li's feet. She sat down on it as her silvery long hair fluttered in the wind, causing her to exude a suffocating beauty at this moment.
Luo Li raised her head and looked at the countless gazes that were filled with expectations. Practically every citizen of the Luo God Clan was looking forward to her success, since it represented the future of the Luo God Clan.
So this time, she definitely couldn't fail!
Luo Li took a deep breath and bit on her tongue without any hesitation. A mouthful of blood essence gushed out and fell from the sky into the surging Luo River.
Boom!
As the blood essence entered the Luo River, the entire Luo River instantly turned crimson with waves rolling and countless crimson sparkles rose from the Luo River before they drifted up and landed on Luo Li's body.
Her white dress had also gradually turned crimson at this moment.
The crimson glow grew deeper and in the end, it had turned into crimson flames that enveloped Luo Li. As the flames blazed, there seemed to be an ancient song that resounded between the heavens and earth.
Everyone looked at the crimson flames and their hearts tensed up. That's because they knew that the Luo God Ceremony had begun.
The Luo God Ceremony had begun.
