Becoming the Demon Lord: Taming the Demon Queen Begins

Centered around Sky Sanctuary, thousands of Golden Silk Bamboo Scrolls shot out in all directions.

Like shooting stars streaking across the sky, each scroll left behind a trail of sacred golden light.

They fluttered like butterflies, scattering across the vast Elant continent.

Some disappeared into towering mountain ranges, others glided into deep, mysterious lakes.

Some ventured into frozen wastelands, while others flew toward fiery, burning canyons.

The Elant continent was home to countless sects, large and small.

But only a thousand were worthy of receiving a Golden Silk Bamboo Scroll.

The golden trails stretched across the heavens.

More astonishingly, wherever the scrolls passed, strange phenomena began to occur.

Plants grew rapidly, bursting with life, and even the animals and birds in the forests looked up at the sky, seemingly drawn to the extraordinary sight.

A faint fragrance of ink bamboo filled the air.

Vibrant spiritual energy condensed into a gentle rain, falling from the sky, its purity nourishing everything it touched.

A seven-colored rainbow arched across the horizon, beautiful and divine.

"This… this is a Golden Silk Bamboo Scroll!"

"Golden Silk Bamboo Scrolls flying across the entire Elant continent? Who could possibly have the power to pull off something this grand?"

Countless practitioners gazed up at the sky.

Already in disbelief, they were even more shocked as they took in the scene around them.

"Spiritual rain falling, blessing the world…

For such a miraculous event to occur, these Golden Silk Bamboo Scrolls must be invitations to a wedding hosted by a Holy Emperor-level figure!

No, wait—just one Holy Emperor wouldn't be enough to cause such a divine spectacle.

If this really is a wedding, then… it might even be between two Holy Emperor-level figures!"

"There are only so many Holy Emperors in the world. How could there possibly be a couple where both are Holy Emperors?

Wait… maybe… there really is!"

At that moment, the same thought crossed the minds of all the practitioners: two figures, seemingly destined for each other, appeared in their imaginations.

The meteor shower of Golden Silk Bamboo Scrolls slowly descended into the various sects.

"This aura… it really is a Golden Silk Bamboo Scroll!"

Even the usually composed sect leaders, who held high status, couldn't remain calm. They respectfully stepped out of their sects to receive the scrolls falling from the sky.

Radiant Monastery.

"Three days from now… the goddess is getting married!"

Even though he was in the middle of an important meditation retreat, sensing the aura, Abbot Fenvin immediately broke his seclusion and stepped out to receive the Golden Silk Bamboo Scroll.

As he read the invitation written on the scroll, even the steadfast monk couldn't help but feel deeply shaken.

His hand, which held his prayer beads, trembled slightly in disbelief.

"The goddess… she's really marrying Timothy…

Unbelievable. Truly unbelievable.

Fate is mysterious, its workings beyond comprehension.

As a monk, I should remain detached from worldly affairs, but…

Rest assured, the two of you. I will certainly attend the wedding at Sky Sanctuary and offer my blessings."

Themyscira Sect.

"I've just bound the latest edition of the goddess's Uselessness of Spiritual Partners… Ah, even the book smells sweet."

Thalia, the proud leader of the sect, secretly pulled out a brand-new copy of The Uselessness of Spiritual Partners from under her pillow, her face full of happiness and satisfaction.

"Don't worry, goddess. No matter what, I will always follow you, holding fast to the teachings in The Uselessness of Spiritual Partners. I will never marry, dedicating myself to you alone!"

Seeing that no one was around, she quietly opened the book, burying her face in its pages, inhaling deeply with a mix of longing and obsession.

It was as if the words themselves carried the goddess's fragrance.

At that moment, a Golden Silk Bamboo Scroll descended from the sky, immediately catching Thalia's attention.

She quickly dashed out of her room, reaching up to catch the scroll as it fell from the heavens.

"This… it has the goddess's aura!

Could it be that the goddess has finally come to her senses, abandoned that wretched Timothy, and decided to live freely?"

Just from a quick sniff, Thalia's eyes lit up with excitement. She eagerly unrolled the scroll.

"A wedding invitation?"

But as she read the contents, she froze.

She stood there, completely still, as if time itself had stopped.

"Sect Leader, should we still attend the wedding at Sky Sanctuary?" Emily, who had hurried over in a panic, asked softly after a long silence.

"We'll go."

Thalia's eyes seemed to glisten with unshed tears. After a brief pause, she finally spoke.

She raised her head quietly, gazing up at the sky. Her voice was low, but carried a newfound seriousness: "This is the goddess's decision. No matter what, I will offer her my most sincere blessings.

We will always follow in the goddess's footsteps."

"I understand, Sect Leader," Emily replied softly.

But as she followed her master's gaze toward the sky, a hint of sadness flickered across her face.

'Perhaps, as Master said, there are some people, some figures, who are destined to pass by each other, never to meet again,' she thought.

After a long silence, she wiped away a tear that had slipped down her cheek and whispered to herself.

...

Netherworld.

"Princess Erelyn, Princess Erelyn, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, I'm fine. Lately, I've just been a bit distracted, my focus isn't what it used to be."

Hearing the voice calling her, Erelyn shook her head slightly and adjusted the crown on her head.

After two devastating wars, the Netherworld Citadel was in the process of rebuilding, with everything slowly coming back to life.

Though many buildings were still in ruins, thanks to the efforts of the ghost soldiers and spirits, the citadel was gradually becoming vibrant again.

With the threat of the Eight Ebon Goddesses gone, the various realms of the Netherworld had become much more peaceful.

Yet, despite all this, every time Erelyn looked around, she couldn't shake the feeling that something was missing, like there was an emptiness inside her.

"But what's missing?"

Even she didn't know the answer.

After all, the Netherworld was slowly returning to the way she remembered it, and things were clearly getting better.

There shouldn't be anything lacking.

"Crack, crack."

Suddenly, a sound like shattering glass echoed from the sky above the Netherworld.

"What's that?!"

Countless eyes turned toward the sky, where they saw cracks spreading across the space like a spider's web. Find your next adventure on My Virtual Library Empire

From within those cracks, a brilliant golden light burst forth, dazzling and radiant.

A scroll broke through the fractured space, flying into the Netherworld and slowly descending from the sky.

"That's… that's…!

An invitation!"

Erelyn's previously dim eyes suddenly sparkled with excitement, and even the crown on her head seemed to glow with joy.

In that moment, Erelyn realized why she had been feeling so empty lately.

It was because…

She flew into the air, gently catching the Golden Silk Bamboo Scroll, and hugged it to her chest with joy.

"I can't believe this day has finally come.

Don't worry, I'll definitely attend the wedding and witness it with my own eyes!"

For the first time in a long while, a satisfied smile appeared on Erelyn's face.

It was as if she could once again picture that small figure who used to cling to her side, calling her "big sister princess" with such affection…
