Unknowingly, the goddess of fate, Ila, leaned her head on Xiao Mo's shoulder.
"If you leave here, will you come back?"
Xiao Mo played with the fingers of the goddess of fate, Ila. Indeed, as a goddess, Ila's fingers were extremely soft and beautiful.
He paused at her question and then said,
"Yes, I will definitely come back!"
Ila's hands slowly wrapped around Xiao Mo's waist. "I look forward to the day when the Lord of the Immortal-Demon Empire returns, and you can still remember me in your heart."
Xiao Mo, in turn, clasped Ila's fingers and inhaled the delicate fragrance emanating from her.
He mused, "This period has been too busy."
"Now I can finally relax."
"Of course, I will remember you."
...
The next day, as the two woke up, the room was in disarray, with clothes scattered everywhere.
Xiao Mo looked at Ila, who was sleeping soundly beside him, and recalled the madness of the previous day.
For a moment, it still felt like a dream.
He hadn't expected to actually sleep with the goddess of fate, Ila, in the end.
However, he felt like he had forgotten something.
But he couldn't quite recall what it was for a while.
Soon, Ila woke up and, with great efficiency, helped Xiao Mo dress.
She served Xiao Mo to his utmost comfort.
After they left, both of them, with unspoken understanding, refrained from publicizing the matter.
The national celebration banquet was not a one-day affair, but rather seven days long.
During these seven days, all the gods went wild.
Even the usually calm Immortal-Demon soldiers mingled with the crowd, having a blast and not wanting to think about anything else.
Xiao Mo, in particular, indulged in a period of chaotic bliss, sleeping with a different goddess each day.
It was incredibly comfortable and sweet.
However, this displeased the goddesses and female territory lords who were lining up.
Some even voiced preposterous demands for Xiao Mo to be with them seven times a night.
When these words reached Xiao Mo's ears, he felt like a kept man.
He couldn't help but think how open-minded these territory lords and goddesses were.
It wasn't until Jin Xuan burst in one day that he remembered what he had forgotten.
He had promised Xiao Niao that he would give her a reward if she ascended to the god-level.
But Xiao Niao had already reached the god-level a long time ago.
Yet, due to his constant busyness, Xiao Mo had put this matter aside.
He had failed to fulfill his promise.
Now that he remembered, on the night of the sixth day, he had a blissful time with Xiao Niao.
After these seven days of chaotic indulgence, he felt that he could no longer continue in such a dissolute manner.
He decided to return to his Immortal-Demon Empire and await news from the [Game Official].
However, before he could depart, he was intercepted by the Elf Goddess, who arrived ahead of him.
"Lord of the Immortal-Demon Empire, please stay."
Caught trying to escape, Xiao Mo felt no embarrassment.
He turned around in confusion, looking at the Elf Goddess.
"Your Highness, the Elf Goddess, I believe the ceremony has concluded. Do you still have matters to attend to?"
The Elf Goddess immediately replied, "Of course not, there is an enthronement ceremony that requires the attendance of the Lord of the Immortal-Demon Empire."
"Enthronement ceremony?" Xiao Mo found it very strange. He had no idea there was an enthronement ceremony before coming.
"Whose enthronement ceremony?"
Xiao Mo assumed the Elf Goddess might want to keep it a secret, but she immediately revealed it to him.
"It is for the Earth Goddess, Helena Dis."
"The Earth Goddess, Helena Dis?" Xiao Mo was even more puzzled. "Why is there an enthronement ceremony for the Earth Goddess, Helena Dis?"
The Elf Goddess smiled slyly. "Not many people know that the Earth Goddess, Helena Dis, has been resurrected."
"Furthermore, the Earth Goddess, Helena Dis, made significant contributions during the battle against the Dark Emperor."
"This enthronement ceremony is the perfect opportunity to announce the Earth Goddess, Helena Dis's, resurrection."
"And to vindicate her!"
Although Xiao Mo still found it strange, he felt the Elf Goddess was acting peculiar today.
For instance, if the enthronement ceremony had been planned, they should have informed him earlier.
Why tell him now, in such a rush? He suspected something was amiss!
However, he couldn't say anything, so he replied,
"Of course, I can. Does it start today?"
Seeing Xiao Mo agree, the Elf Goddess's smile grew warmer.
"It starts today. Please change into some handsome attire, and we can head over."
Xiao Mo nodded. "Then let's go change."
After changing, Xiao Mo realized that his attire was ridiculously magnificent.
For example, the fabric used to weave this garment was precious celestial silk, from which only one strand could be produced in tens of thousands of years.
Yet, such fabric was used to make his clothes, and the crown on his head was equally splendid.
The enormous gemstone atop it was almost blinding.
"Are you sure this is for the Earth Goddess Helena Dis's enthronement? Not for me?"
The Elf Goddess chuckled. "Lord of the Immortal-Demon Empire, you are truly humorous. You are the celebrant, so naturally, you must be dressed more magnificently."
Xiao Mo didn't think too much about it. It was quite nice anyway.
As long as the Elf Goddess wouldn't harm him, and even if she did, with his current strength, he could easily defeat ten Elf Goddesses.
Upon reaching the venue, Xiao Mo discovered an unbelievably large crowd.
Even the rooftops were crowded with deities; only those above the Divine King level had seating.
The other deities crammed themselves wherever there was space.
They didn't mind at all.
