Chapter 136 A Proclamation to the Entire Universe!
Inside the palace, all was quiet.
Angel Yan was dressed in a white and gold queen's dress today, her long golden hair was styled into an exquisite updo, and the heroic spirit in her eyes had faded, replaced by a gentler look.
She was standing in front of Li Yao, carefully adjusting the collar of his ceremonial attire.
"Are you nervous?" Angel Yan asked softly, smoothing the wrinkles on his shoulder with her fingertips.
"A little," Li Yao said with a slight smile.
"normal."
Angel Yan smiled slightly, fastened the last button for him, stepped back, looked him up and down, and nodded in satisfaction: "Very handsome."
Li Yao smiled and took her hand: "You've had a hard time these past few days."
"What's so hard about it?" Angel Yan grasped his hand and gently squeezed it. "Being able to witness this day is more worthwhile than anything else."
Her eyes were slightly red, but she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.
"From this day forward, you are the true King of Angels."
As she spoke, she tiptoed and gently kissed his lips, chuckling softly, "But no matter how many people call you king in the future, to me, you will always be mine."
Li Yao felt a surge of warmth in his heart and pulled her into his arms.
Angel Yan leaned against his chest, raised her head, and gently stroked his cheek, saying tenderly, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. You're not alone. I'll be with you, Leng and Zhixin will be with you, all the angels will be with you."
"Hmm." Li Yao nodded slightly.
After a brief moment of tenderness, Angel Yan reminded them, "Alright, we should get going. Everyone is waiting for you."
Li Yao took a deep breath, suppressing the myriad thoughts in his mind.
He held Angel Yan's little hand tightly.
"Let's go."
Li Yao led Angel Yan out of the palace and onto the red carpet leading to the high platform.
The moment their figures appeared on the platform, the entire venue erupted in cheers.
"King! King! King!"
Hundreds of thousands of angels raised their arms and shouted at the same time, their cheers shaking the heavens and spreading throughout the entire heavenly city, and also reaching the entire universe through the interstellar channel.
Not far away, representatives from various civilizations also stood up, and countless eyes were focused on Li Yao.
These gazes contained excitement, agitation, curiosity, awe, scrutiny, and also deep-seated hostility.
In the crowd, Ge Xiaolun scratched his head. He didn't understand anything, and could only say, "Holy crap! That's so damn cool!"
Seeing this, Lena was not only happy for Li Yao, an acquaintance, but also filled with envy and fantasies. She decided that she would also stage such a grand event after returning to Lieyang.
Li Yao held Angel Yan's hand and they climbed to the top of the platform side by side.
He Xi was already standing beside the throne, her hands clasped in front of her, her eyes filled with satisfaction and pride. The angels Leng and Ling Xi beside her had also been standing solemnly for a long time.
Angel Yan gently released her grip on Li Yao's hand, looked up at him with a tender smile, and then walked to the side and stood still.
Li Yao walked alone to the throne, slowly turned around, and faced hundreds of thousands of angels and hundreds of thousands of spectators.
The cheers that had just been deafening subsided the moment he turned around.
At this moment, the master of ceremonies' resounding voice echoed throughout the hall: "In the year 24,321 of the Heavenly Calendar of Merlo, a new king ascends the throne and is crowned king!"
As soon as she finished speaking, He Xi stepped forward, followed by Angel Leng and Ling Xi, one on each side.
The angel held the royal decree in his cold hand, while Lingxi held the tray upon which the crown was displayed in both hands.
He Xi took the crown from the tray and walked to Li Yao.
Her gaze lingered on his face for a moment, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, and her voice was clear and solemn: "Li Yao, from this day forward, you are the new King of Angels of the Angel Civilization."
She gently placed the crown on Li Yao's head.
Then Li Yao raised his head, about to look at He Xi, but his gaze suddenly froze.
Suddenly, a round little head popped out from under He Xi's collar.
A pair of big, bright eyes were staring at him, her little mouth was slightly pursed, she looked like a little adult, and she even nodded her chin solemnly at him with a satisfied smile on her face.
Li Yao's eye twitched, and he almost couldn't hold back.
He looked at He Xi with a puzzled expression, only to see the other wink at him, casually take the royal decree from the angel's cold hand, and present it to him with both hands.
Seeing this, Li Yao had no choice but to suppress his many questions and solemnly accept the king's order with both hands.
He then turned and sat down on the supreme throne.
"Whoosh!"
On the high platform, He Xi was the first to bend her knees, kneeling on one knee, looking up and touching her chest.
Angel Yan, Angel Leng, and Ling Xi followed closely behind, and then a wave of kneeling worship spread from the high platform to the entire venue.
Hundreds of thousands of angels knelt on one knee at the same time, their silver armor clashing together with a crisp, synchronized sound that rolled across the sky like thunder.
Everyone looked up, their beautiful faces and devout eyes gazing up at him on the throne.
In the audience, hundreds of thousands of representatives of civilizations also stood up and bowed to pay the highest respect to this newborn King of Angels.
Meanwhile, Karl and Hua Ye, who were far away on the River Styx, as well as Morgana and others on Blue Star, all watched this scene with complicated expressions.
Li Yao watched this scene with mixed feelings.
He slightly raised his hand, gesturing, "Please rise, everyone."
The next second, hundreds of thousands of angels rose to their feet.
Immediately afterwards, Li Yao stood up and said in a loud voice, "Fellow compatriots, distinguished guests."
"Today I inherit the throne of the angels, taking over the torch of a hundred thousand years of civilization, and the heavy responsibility entrusted to hundreds of millions of living beings."
I hereby swear:
I will give my all and live up to the expectations of the angels!
I will dedicate my life to protecting the peace and stability of my people, safeguarding the tranquility of my domain, and living up to the sacred name of my people!
"We are now in the midst of a great upheaval, the first of its kind in millennia, and the order of justice has endured to this day, with both merits and demerits. I will not deny the past, but I will not be bound by convention."
"Therefore, the Angelic Civilization will improve the order of justice, adapt to the times, and innovate, so that justice can continue in a way that is more in line with the times."
"At the same time, the universe is vast and diverse in its civilizations. The Angelic Civilization embraces tolerance and respect for new ideas and concepts emerging in the universe, acknowledging the right of each civilization to independently choose its development path, without interference or suppression."
"This is to announce to the entire universe: From this day forward, the Angelic Civilization will no longer forcibly impose a just order on the known universe."
"Civilizations that have long accepted order and wish to walk with angels will continue to be protected by angels. Those who do not agree with order and wish to develop autonomously are free to break away."
"From now on, the power of angels will return to their domains, focusing on protecting the beings under their rule, and will no longer overstep their boundaries to interfere in the autonomous conflicts of civilizations beyond their borders. The wings of angels will only cover civilizations that are willing to believe in us."
At this point, Li Yao paused, his gaze sweeping across the entire room:
"The road ahead is long and arduous, but perseverance will lead to our destination. I wish to walk alongside you all on this journey."
