Becoming the Demon Lord: Taming the Demon Queen Begins

"System, can you scan this thing for me?"

Holding the Eternal Source, Timothy felt a mysterious aura emanating from it, though it appeared normal on the surface.

[Ding, Name: "Eternal Source"]

[Attribute: Wind]

[Rarity: Extremely rare, rumored to be connected to the vast stars and the most distant path to divinity]

[Function: Unknown]

[Power: Unknown]

[Effect: Unknown]

Timothy: "..."

Well, that was a whole lot of nothing from the system.

But anything that makes the system so tight-lipped must be no ordinary item.

Timothy carefully tucked it away, feeling a sudden lift in his spirits.

He hadn't expected to be held up at the Doomed Soul Sect for so long.

But now, he could finally return to Sky Sanctuary and see his wife!

'She must have missed me after all this time.'

With a smile, Timothy descended the Inferno Tower.

Out of the crowd, Yvenna suddenly ran towards him, her pink dress fluttering like a blooming lotus, making her look playful and cute: "Senior Brother Timothy, you're finally back. I've missed you so much these past ten days." Yvenna opened her arms wide, excitedly rushing to embrace Timothy.

But Timothy quickly dodged, stepping aside.

Yvenna, missing her hug, felt a wave of disappointment: "Senior Brother Timothy, I haven't seen you for days, I just wanted to be close to you!"

Timothy: "Eh~, don't be so clingy, it's kind of gross~."

"Not at all! These days apart made me realize how much I really like you, Senior Brother Timothy. No matter if you despise me, I'm willing to never leave your side!" Yvenna's lips parted slightly as she opened her arms again, attempting to kiss Timothy.

But Timothy simply extended his hand, pressing it against her forehead, keeping her at arm's length.

With her forehead pressed, Yvenna's cheeks flushed red.

"Senior Brother Timothy touched my head again. Although it's still rough, it felt gentler than last time. Surely, this means Senior Brother Timothy's love for me is deepening!"

"Senior Brother Timothy, I understand your feelings!" In a moment, Yvenna almost cried out of emotion.

Her excited heart couldn't control the flurry of thoughts.

Not wanting to embarrass herself in front of Timothy, Yvenna gently wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, her eyes watery: "Senior Brother Timothy, let's save this kiss for next time."

"Next time, I will definitely kiss you!"

With that, she parted the crowd and ran off into the distance.

A breeze blew by, but it couldn't calm her restless heart.

"..."

Timothy felt a bit awkward, thankful that the bonding stone wasn't activated, or Sylvia might have gotten jealous again.

Morvran approached, asking, "Brother Timothy, heading back to Sky Sanctuary?"

"That's right."

"Cough, cough." Morvran coughed lightly, making sure no one was around, then whispered in Timothy's ear: "How have you been in Sky Sanctuary? I've heard Goddess Sylvia is formidable. If you ever anger her, the consequences could be unimaginable. You must be careful not to upset Goddess Sylvia."

Timothy spoke frankly: "Not at all, Sect Master, you might be misunderstanding something. Goddess Sylvia is actually very cute and caring, and sometimes she gets a little jealous. There's no one in the world more beautiful and adorable than Goddess Sylvia."

Hearing this, Morvran's expression suddenly changed, his face filled with nervousness as he covered Timothy's mouth, his voice trembling: "Brother Timothy, are you mad!"

"You absolutely can't say things like that."

"Goddess Sylvia has vast powers, and if she accidentally hears you saying such things, even with your exceptional talents, you could be struck down in an instant." Cold sweat trickled down as Morvran seemed to have heard the most ridiculous joke of his life.

Goddess Sylvia, cute?

Everyone knows that Goddess Sylvia rules over the twelve Star Palaces, radiating an immense and endless divine power.

Anyone who has defied Goddess Sylvia has ended up as nothing more than a corpse—there are countless examples.

If Goddess Sylvia is considered cute, then I might as well stand on my head and eat dirt!

Not to mention getting jealous...

If what Timothy just said accidentally gets out, the whole Doomed Soul Sect might be dragged down with him!

Seeing Morvran drenched in cold sweat and shrinking back in fear, Timothy shook his head and sighed.

It seems he's the only one in the world who can see the cute side of Goddess Sylvia.

Well, more like others don't live long enough to witness that side of Sylvia...

Timothy patted Morvran on the back regretfully and soared into the sky.

"Brother Timothy, remember, you must be very careful with your words when you get to Sky Sanctuary, definitely don't repeat what you just said!" Morvran still shouted, shaken.

Mountains and rivers passed in a blink.

What would take a mortal months to traverse, Timothy covered in just a moment, arriving at the base of Sky Sanctuary.

Just as he landed, he spotted a familiar figure.

"Emily, didn't you go back to the Phoenix Kingdom? What are you doing here?"

"Don't stop me, I never want to see a man again, I don't want to deal with men for the rest of my life! Men are the most useless things in the world, all evil! Especially you, you're the biggest villain, I never want to see you again!" Emily ran past him, pushing Timothy away, tears glistening in her eyes.

Her light green dress fluttered in the air, her running figure looking frail and pitiful.

"What happened to her?" Timothy was stunned, turning to ask the High Priest who had accompanied Emily down the mountain.

He clearly remembered that Emily was fine when they parted,how could she have become so distressed in just half a day?

The High Priest spoke with a respectful tone, "The supreme goddess is wise and powerful, she saw right away that Emily was battling inner demons, her spirit wavering. So, she locked her in the penance hall, had ten disciples surround her and recite 'The Uselessness of Spiritual Partners' over and over. The goddess's method proved effective.

Although it cured Princess Emily, it seems to have destabilized her emotions, resulting in her current state."

"Uh, are you sure the goddess was trying to help her?"

"Of course, inner demons are the first major obstacle for any practitioner. The supreme goddess's actions swiftly eradicated her inner demons. Truly a visionary, unparalleled in insight, worthy of being a goddess!" The High Priest looked towards Sky Sanctuary, his respect deepening.

"Ha ha, is that so." Timothy chuckled awkwardly, hoping he himself wouldn't encounter any inner demons.

The High Priest seemed in good spirits, smiling as he asked, "The Valley of the Undead event just ended not long ago, and you rushed back here so quickly?"

Timothy nodded, "Yes, after all, I remembered I needed to rush back to see my wife..."

"Ah no, I mean to pay respects to the goddess."

"Oh, I see, it seems your reverence for the goddess is as deep as mine. Promising, very promising!" The High Priest beamed with joy.
