Chapter 1440: Chapter 1438: Return of the King (Grand Finale) (Part 3)
Day by day, ti passed by, and Huo Huan often stood on the high astronomical observatory, gazing into the distance, hoping for Ye You’s figure to appear in the sky, but unfortunately, it never did.
The five years were ultimately coming to an end. Half a month before the agreed ti, the clan leaders and important mbers of the other Eight Great Families tacitly left their territories and headed to the Phoenix Song Wang City.
On the last day, the courtiers knelt, asking Huo Huan to officially succeed to the position of Sage Ruler the next day, becoming the new ruler of the Demon Sacred Realm.
Huo Huan was silent for a long ti before finally nodding in agreent.
The next day, the sky, which was clear and sunny the day before, suddenly beca overcast, mirroring Huo Huan’s complicated and lancholic mood. He had never felt so heavy-hearted before.
"I never expected I, Huo Huan, would beco the Sage Ruler of the Demon Sacred Realm," he mocked himself inwardly, turning to look at his wife, Xiao Zhu, who was not far away.
Xiao Zhu was dressed in luxurious attire, with an exquisite and grand makeup, truly embodying the deanor of a Saint Queen.
She also turned her head to look at her husband, but her expression was far from joyful; her eyes were filled with concern and worry.
More than becoming the Sage Queen, she actually cherished the carefree and carefree days back at the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle, and she believed Huo Huan felt the sa.
However, as a mber of the Jiuxi Royal Family, Huo Huan had his helpless obligations.
The clock struck the propitious ti, and Huo Huan and Xiao Zhu, hand in hand, walked up the many steps toward the entrance of Jiu Hua Hall.
There, rested two exquisite and precious crowns, one belonging to the Sage Ruler and the other to the Sage Queen, treasures passed down through the Jiuxi Royal Family.
During the five years Huo Huan served as the interim Sage Ruler, the crowns were always sealed away, as Huo Huan refused to wear them, claiming he was not the true Sage Ruler.
Now, he had no choice but to wear it.
Pu Chen, Yun Wang, Yun Cheng, Xiao ng, Qing Xun, Qing Rouhen, Wen Xuan, Yi Rou, Chen Song, Ru Lin, Shuo Yu, Ge Lanxue, and even Master Yipiao, were all in the crowd below the steps, watching Huo Huan and Xiao Zhu, each person with a heart full of indescribable emotions.
Jiu Ge and Li Li did not appear; to Jiu Ge, it did not matter who beca the Sage Ruler.
Finally, Huo Huan and Xiao Zhu stepped onto the last step, reaching the entrance of Jiu Hua Hall where the crowns were placed, and they looked at each other.
Huo Huan softly said, "Don’t worry, whether I’m a teacher or a Sage Ruler, my feelings for you will never change."
Xiao Zhu’s eyes shimred with tears as she smiled and replied, "I believe you, I have always believed."
Both nodded firmly at each other, and together they picked up their own magnificent and heavy crowns.
Just as Huo Huan and Xiao Zhu were about to place the crowns on their heads, a surge of powerful magical power suddenly swirled above them.
Huo Huan thought they were under attack, imdiately shielding Xiao Zhu behind him, and unleashed his magical power to prepare for defense.
However, when he looked up, he saw a purple cloud swirling above, burning fiercely, with powerful energy contained within, but it posed no harm to them.
"It’s the Ziwei Heaven Fire!" Huo Huan exclaid, overwheld with excitent.
He was back, finally back, at this last mont.
Everyone present fixed their gazes on the burning cloud, showing expressions of astonishnt, and so recognized it as the Ziwei Heaven Fire, causing a stir among the crowd.
Gradually, the burning cloud beca dimr and thinner, until it completely vanished.
Amid their surprise and sighs, the vanished cloud transford into dazzling golden powder, falling from the overcast sky, onto Huo Huan and Xiao Zhu holding their crowns, and throughout the bustling crowd.
As the golden powder fell, the sky quickly cleared up, the thick clouds disappeared, and the sun, like a golden fireball, illuminated every corner of the land brightly, under a sky as blue as a giant sapphire.
In the clear sky, a black figure was flapping its wings, flying in from afar.
"Who is that?"
"Can’t see clearly."
...
The crowd began to murmur, guessing the identity of the approaching figure.
The black figure ca closer, and its outline gradually beca distinct.
"It seems to be the Sage Ruler Yeyou," soone finally shouted.
"The Sage Ruler Yeyou has returned!"
Soone shouted excitedly, but quickly shut their mouth with a reminder from nearby, and the noisy crowd began to quiet down, with various expressions looking at Huo Huan, still holding the crown.
