Despite the festive atmosphere, a few elders who once followed Bibi Dong wore grim expressions, their eyes filled with resentment.
In their view, Bibi Dong was the true hope of the Spirit Hall! And yet, Qian Renxue colluded with the Eternal Life Sect, framed the Pope, and severed the Spirit Hall's hope. Such crimes deserved death! Did she think that ascending the throne would allow her to act recklessly? The fate of the Spirit Hall wasn't something a mere girl could control! Though they did not openly oppose her, their hearts were filled with malice.
Qian Renxue sat on the Pope's throne, outwardly unaware of the hidden hostility.
In reality, she had already noted these individuals.
She sneered inwardly, her eyes gleaming with coldness.
Before Elder Wuya left, he whispered to her that although Bibi Dong was dead, her influence in the Spirit Hall was not eradicated, and she must be cautious.
From now on, she would strictly follow Elder Wuya's advice and eliminate all threats!
The Spirit Hall's peace declaration spread across the entire continent.
Within the territories of the Star Luo and Tian Dou Empire, people celebrated the end of the war.
"The war is over! The war is over!"
Cheers resounded everywhere.
The soldiers of both empires safely returned to their homes and reunited with their families.
The streets of the imperial cities were brightly lit, adorned with colorful flags and decorations.
Every household prepared lavish feasts to celebrate the occasion.
At the same time, countless people looked to the sky, expressing gratitude to the mysterious force that ended the war.
"Hail the Ice God!"
"Finally, we can live in peace, all thanks to the Ice God's blessing!"
"Indeed, if not for the Ice God's deterrence, the Spirit Hall would have attacked us long ago. Who knows how much suffering we would have endured!"
In the hearts of the people, the name of the Ice God had become a sacred symbol.
They believed that it was the Ice God's power that prevented the Spirit Hall from invading again.
In the grand and magnificent palace of the Star Luo Empire, the Star Luo Emperor sat solemnly on his throne, with the graceful and beautiful empress by his side.
Suddenly, the sound of dignified footsteps echoed from afar. Everyone looked up to see a figure approaching, exuding an extraordinary aura that commanded respect.
"My Lord!"
The Star Luo Emperor immediately stood up and respectfully bowed, his voice filled with reverence.
The empress followed suit, her face beaming with joy as she stood respectfully to the side.
Shui Wuya smiled slightly and raised his hand to indicate they should not be so formal.
The Star Luo Emperor continued solemnly, "Thank you, Lord Shui Wuya, for saving the entire empire from the ravages of war. My people and I are eternally grateful."
"The Star Luo royal family will forever look up to you and offer eternal allegiance!"
Shui Wuya responded with a calm smile, "Saving the world is my duty; there is no need to thank me."
The Star Luo Emperor and the empress exchanged a glance, their hearts filled with deep respect.
The Star Luo Emperor's brows then furrowed slightly, revealing his inner concerns.
"Lord Shui Wuya, although you have quelled the flames of war, the influence of the Spirit Hall still worries me greatly.
They have always acted arrogantly. If they are dissatisfied with the treaty, they could tear it apart at any moment and restart the war."
The Star Luo Emperor's face was grave. "Moreover, I've heard that the new Pope, Qian Renxue, possesses the qualifications for a divine test. If she—"
Shui Wuya smiled faintly and said calmly, "Do not worry, Your Majesty. I have the situation with the Spirit Hall under control. As for the new Pope, Qian Renxue, she has already joined my Divine Sect and will not start any more conflicts."
"The Divine Sect?"
These words left the Star Luo Emperor and Empress puzzled.
Shui Wuya slowly explained, revealing his identity and the existence of the Eternal Life Sect to them.
The two listened in astonishment, finding it hard to believe that such a powerful organization existed on the continent.
And Shui Wuya was an elder of this mysterious organization!
"It's unimaginable that such a mysterious force exists in this world!" exclaimed the Star Luo Emperor.
"Indeed, we have been like frogs in a well, completely unaware," the Empress remarked in amazement.
Shui Wuya continued, "Now, Qian Renxue has joined the Eternal Life Sect and is under my tutelage, undergoing her divine test. Every action she takes is under my control, and she poses no threat to the Star Luo Empire."
Hearing this, the Star Luo Emperor and Empress were overjoyed, their sense of security greatly enhanced.
They knew that with Shui Wuya and the protection of the Eternal Life Sect, the future of the Star Luo Empire was bound to be prosperous and thriving!
"Elder Shui, we will forever remember your kindness."
The Star Luo Emperor bowed deeply, his voice full of gratitude.
"We will always follow the commands of the Eternal Life Sect!" the Empress added, bowing as well.
Shui Wuya smiled slightly and nodded in acknowledgment.
Meanwhile, in the Tian Dou Empire.
Tens of thousands of citizens gathered around the palace square.
The grand enthronement ceremony was taking place.
Inside the hall, gold and jade shone brightly, and the palace rituals were elaborate.
Prince Xue Beng, clad in imperial robes, stood solemnly on the throne, looking down at the ministers.
Prince Xue Beng raised his hand, signaling the ministers to be quiet.
His voice was loud and solemn: "From today onwards, I, Xue Beng, ascend the throne as the new Emperor of the Tian Dou Empire. Before this, I want to thank all the ministers and citizens for their support and trust over the years."
The ministers listened to the prince's speech, each with a solemn expression.
Prince Xue Beng continued, "Thanks to the grace of the Ice God, the Spirit Hall has ceased its war, bringing peace to the Tian Dou Empire and paving the way for our future! I will continue to fulfill my duties, striving for the prosperity and stability of the Tian Dou Empire!"
Applause and cheers erupted from the tens of thousands of citizens below, their faces beaming with joy and anticipation.
At that moment, a cold aura descended from the sky, like a bright, clear moon.
From the heavens, a graceful figure slowly emerged.
Everyone turned to look and saw a woman dressed in a long white dress, treading on snow and ice, with a cold and elegant demeanor, like an ice and snow goddess, descending slowly.
It was Shui Bing'er.
Shui Bing'er's arrival caused a stir throughout the square, and the crowd was astonished.
"That's... the Ice God!"
"The Ice God has descended!"
"We are seeing the true Ice God!"
In an instant, the square was in an uproar, with countless people kneeling and bowing to Shui Bing'er, overwhelmed with reverence.
A wave of respect and gratitude surged in their hearts, a tribute to the Ice God's power.
Shui Bing'er gently floated down and stood in the center of the square, her gaze cold and mysterious, exuding an indescribable majesty.
At this moment, Prince Xue Beng was greatly shaken and involuntarily stepped down from the throne, bowing respectfully to Shui Bing'er.
His voice trembled slightly, "Ice God, your arrival is an honor for the Heaven Dou Empire. I, Xue Beng, am immensely grateful for your grace."
Shui Bing'er smiled faintly without speaking, but her eyes showed a hint of warmth and compassion, as if comforting everyone's hearts.
