I just covet their strength

Chapter 88 I Can No Longer Offer My Complete Loyalty

Demigods are the favorites of gods, their agents, and their rulers.

He is undoubtedly the strongest in the mortal world, below the gods.

In the past, and only at the beginning of the empire’s creation, would the Most Glory Holy Tree promote demigods to act as agents, so as to maintain the war against the dragons.

And becoming a demigod means that one will definitely become an emperor!

Clear! Now it's all clear!

Why did the Holy Tree of Glory specifically issue an oracle to spare Leixia's life? It was not for torture or punishment, but for training and cultivation!
Why didn't the God Ancestor designate who would inherit the throne? It turns out that he had already been chosen!

Even under the will of the God Ancestor, there was still a moment of uproar among the silent crowd. Many people looked up and down in shock, sweating profusely.

"!!"

Regent Celivira was struck by lightning, her body swayed and she almost fell down.

No matter what happened in the trial before, the Regent was able to remain calm because Selvira had already regarded the throne of the empire as her own.

As the supreme ruler of the empire, she has the luxury of doing so.

But now Selvira's defense was broken, severely broken, and she even wanted to stand up and ask questions to the Holy Tree of Glory.

But she dared not.

Selvira restrained her impulse in an instant, her nails dug into her palms, and she stared at Leshia's back.

As long as this sister nods, the throne of the empire will slip from his hands and become the foil of the demigod.

"As expected."

After hearing the answer from the God Ancestor, even though Leixia was as resolute as she was, her expression couldn't help but be a little moved.

Although she had already guessed it, she still felt mixed emotions after confirming it.

Furious? Flattered? Relieved? Indifferent?

Perhaps there were some of them, but Leixia shook her head, shook off these complicated emotions, and continued:

"Even so, please make up for my imperfections, Your Majesty. I am unwilling to accept this path of withering and flourishing."

Huh? What are you talking about? Are you awake?!

If the words of the Holy Tree of Glory were already very explosive, then Reshia's rejection without hesitation was even more outrageous. No one present could understand Reshia's mental state.

In this situation, shouldn't we be ecstatic and bow down to God for grace?
That is a great honor to be promoted to a demigod!

He will become the most powerful and authoritative ruler in the world under the gods!

Even Westhead looked at Leixia in surprise. To be honest, he didn't expect the silver-haired princess to refuse so straightforwardly. Faced with unimaginable huge benefits, if he put himself in her shoes, Westhead would at least need to bargain.

"Are you complaining? Don't lose the big picture because of the small."

The noble gods were obviously reluctant to part with such a demigod seedling and actually spoke out to try to keep him.

But Leshia didn't seem to be moved at all. She took a deep breath, turned her head and glanced at Westhead, meeting his eyes.

The silver-haired princess smiled silently, turned around and replied:
"I am very sorry, Your Majesty, I cannot become your demigod offspring."

Then, Leixia knelt down on both knees, kowtowed, and said in a firm tone that could not be questioned:
"Because this heart can no longer offer you complete loyalty."

"Please fulfill my humble wish and grant me wholeness and freedom."

This is crazy! This is even crazier than using Dragon Thunder to throw trees before the trial!

Seeing that Leixia said such disloyal and unwise words, the people in the square were in turmoil and had countless complaints to say, but under the will of the God Ancestor, they did not dare to do anything out of line and could only wait quietly for the God Ancestor's reaction.

Was it the wrath of the gods that turned the comedy into a tragedy and crushed the disobedient people to death?
Or should we ignore Leixia's ideas and forcefully push forward the path of withering and flourishing?
Leixia's kowtow and petition seemed to silence the gods. After a long while, the ethereal and vast heart sound of the Most Shining Holy Tree echoed:
"In that case, there is no chance." Just as Westhead had predicted, the Holy Tree of Glory did not have the firm idea of ​​promoting Leixia to the demigod status. If the latter resisted from the bottom of her heart, she would have no choice but to obey.

This is the character of the Holy Tree. It never intends to force anything.

The branches of the phantom of the holy tree stretched out, casting down brilliant light, enveloping Leixia.

"Uh uh"

The blazing heat surged through her body. Leixia frowned slightly, feeling the pain going deep into her bones.

However, compared with the "divine punishment", these pains are nothing. Leixia endured the pain and felt the changes coming from her body.

"Crunch, crunch -"

The crisp explosion sound continued, and the divine power in Leshia's body was gradually fading, while the organs that were originally replaced by the divine power were all restored.

Liver, blood vessels, heart, lungs, bones.
"Thump thump—"

The most obvious thing is naturally the recovery of the heartbeat. The heart brought by dragon blood is extremely strong, and every beat is powerful, long-lasting and meaningful.

The silver-haired princess stroked her chest in a daze, feeling the nostalgic beating, and opened her beautiful eyes wide.

The stimulation of having her blood pumping again and again was something that Leshia almost forgot.

This was not the end. Leixia also felt a warm current flowing through her empty eye sockets, accompanied by a stinging pain that went straight into her brain. The world in front of her eyes gradually became clear, and the hot tears that fell from her eyes as she reshaped them fell to the ground drop by drop.

From the eyes and torso down, there are the legs.

The restoration work of the Holy Tree of Glory was very humane. Instead of rejecting the installed prosthetic limbs, the prosthetic limbs were transformed, making this masterpiece of bionic technology truly become a flesh and blood body.

The healing effect of the Holy Tree on Resia only lasted for a moment. When the glow withdrew, the silver-haired princess felt unprecedented pleasure.

The pain that had been like a bone-eating poison in the past disappeared without a trace, and fresh vitality flowed through her body. Leshia had never had such a wonderful feeling before.

As long as you are not in purgatory, anywhere is heaven.

Leixia trembled slightly, and bowed to the will of the Holy Tree again:

"Thank you for your gift, Your Excellency."

"Since you are born as my descendant, you still need to fulfill your obligations."

The Holy Tree of Glory slowly uttered the last words.

Then, without any lingering feelings, the golden shadow branches shrank back, and the sense of "existence" that shrouded everyone's heart also receded like the tide.

In the blink of an eye, the sky seemed to clear up a little, and many people gradually stood up, having the illusion that they were in another world.

If they had not touched their backs and felt warm beads of sweat, they would have doubted whether the appearance of the God-Ancestor was an illusion.

Even though the belief in the [Holy Tree of Glory] is rooted in the hearts of every noble who follows the God-Ancestor, without special circumstances, most people will never be able to sense the God-Ancestor's presence in their entire lives.

Today, thanks to Leshia, I will have something to talk about for the rest of my life.

After the God-Ancestor's will left, all eyes naturally turned to Leixia.

"Cough, cough. Cough, cough, cough!"

The silver-haired dragon girl kept coughing and trying to stand up from the ground, but she obviously had not adapted to her restored body and was about to fall to the ground after staggering two steps.

At this moment, Westhead immediately stepped forward and supported Leshia.

"You made a choice that surprised me again, Leixia."
