Chapter 1078 Coronation

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Back in Eulja, Alex was sitting in front of a mirror as someone helped him with his attire.

Lin Xingzhi kept staring at him to see if there was something wrong or not.

She looked at the white and gold uniform with three stripes on his shoulder before her eyes focused on the white pants. The clothes were perfect for him.

"So, are you ready?"

"Yes." Alex nodded.

Suddenly, Korzan entered the room and looked at the two with a serious expression. "We have something going on."

"What? The universe already knows it?"

"Yes." Korzan nodded.

"As expected. Either way, no one can see his coronation since you have tightened the security. And I believe Alex will get famous soon, so we don't need to do anything against those people." Lin Xingzhi shrugged.

"Since you have predicted it, I won't bother with it anymore. I will just prepare for everything that comes next." Korzan nodded.

"By the way, how is the situation around the castle?"

"There are around one thousand people coming into the castle. They are important people from all over the world, from big influences to small influences."

"The Memory Crystal?"

"We can broadcast it to the whole Eulja, so they will witness his ascension and the "miracle" he will perform."

"Please don't say it's a miracle…" Alex scratched his back helplessly.

"Haha… I want to call it Awakening, but it's not like you can perform it easily, so I am just going to call it a miracle." Korzan shrugged while laughing.

After putting some thoughts, Lin Xingzhi asked. "Who has attended?"

"From the top, there are Six Elemental Gods and Five Guardians. Because we are tightening the security, the ten commandants are to assume their position, so they can only watch it through the memory crystals.

"After that, many clans and tribes such as Ice Phoenix Tribe, Lightning Tiger Tribe, and others, have arrived."

"How about the Teleportation Array?"

"We have prepared it and can be used at any time."

"As for outside the castle?"

"There are roughly a million Spirits outside the castle."

"That's fine then. With us releasing the news a month ago, it's already good to prevent the information from leaking that long." He nodded with a smile.

"We are ready, Alex."

Alex nodded with a solemn expression. He rose from his seat and looked at the door. "Let's go then."

…

A few minutes later.

Inside the throne room, a single throne that had been vacant for five thousand years would soon be sat by the Spirit King.

The golden throne that would match his golden hair and the Spirit Crown well was bathed in a light coming from the windows all over the room.

Almost a thousand people sat on the floor as if preparing to kneel when the procession began.

Bang.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open. Five people entered the room. The one leading the others was none other than the legendary human that everyone had known for a long time, the Central Guardian, William.

Behind him was the other four guardians, walking side by side. The pressure they unintentionally released stunned almost everyone in the room.

They wore formal suits that represented their own rank.

"It's the Five Guardians."

"To think we would have witnessed this scene where all the guardians walked side by side."

"Sir William's emanating this pressure that makes you can't think in front of him."

"No, no. The other Guardians also had their own specialty that wouldn't lose against the Central Guardian."

Suddenly, an old man appeared next to the throne with a scroll in his hand. He looked at the Guardians that had halted their footsteps not far from the throne.

"Five Guardians!"

The moment they heard it, all five quickly bent their knee and lowered their heart while saying in unison.

"Long Live His Majesty, the Spirit King!"

"Six Elemental Gods!"

Once again, the old man called them as six figures walked on the red carpet before slightly giving space on the center of the carpet.

Agnis, Helena, Canaan, Zerah, Rilt, and Vina walked side by side with a smile on their faces as if they had prepared for this the entire time.

The moment they passed the Five Guardians, getting slightly closer to the throne, they kneeled while lowering their heads.

"Long Live His Majesty, the Spirit King!"

Not long after, soothing music began to play. If what they thought was right, the next would be his wives.

Eight figures lined up and walked in a straight line, not blocked since the Five Guardians and Six Elemental Gods had created a gap enough for them to walk past them.

Surprisingly, Rose was in the front. As Alex's disciple, she had the honor to guide the wives next to the throne.

Each of them then spread next to the throne, four to the left and four to the right.

"With the blessing of the Ancient Spirits, I declare Lin Xingzhi as one of the Spirit King's wives and bestow Nature Goddess as her title."

"With the blessing of the Ancient Spirits, I declare Anna as one of the Spirit King's wives and bestow Dark Butterfly Goddess as her title."

"With the blessing of the Ancient Spirits, I declare Anya as one of the Spirit King's wives and bestow Light Butterfly Goddess as her title."

"With the blessing of the Ancient Spirits, I declare Alicia Van Rizertia as one of the Spirit King's wives and bestow Ice Phoenix Goddess as her title."

"With the blessing of the Ancient Spirits, I declare Firia Merona as one of the Spirit King's wives and bestow Flame Goddess as her title."

"With the blessing of the Ancient Spirits, I declare Evelyn De Thiveapia as one of the Spirit King's wives and bestow Sword Goddess as her title."

"With the blessing of the Ancient Spirits, I declare Letizia La Scola as one of the Spirit King's wives and bestow Ice Goddess as her title."

"With the blessing of the Ancient Spirits, I declare Sherry as one of the Spirit King's wives and bestow Fox Goddess as her title."

Unfortunately, Sherry couldn't attend this procession and allowed Rose to take her role for this procession only. At the same time, Silvia couldn't participate as well after several considerations.

All eight women bent both their knees and lowered their heads.

"Long Live His Majesty, the Spirit King."

When everyone had presented themselves, the gong began to ring and the bell echoed in the room.

All the people in this room quickly lowered their heads. Even those who were outside the castle quickly prostrated.

At this time, all those who watched the coronation would look down. Even the ten commandants who were far away still kneeled like the Five Guardians and the Six Elemental Gods.

Clack.

Clack.

Clack.

Alex's footsteps echoed in the hall that now fell silent. Although they were curious about his appearance, none of them dared to lift their heads.

He slowly walked on the red carpet, passing the Five Guardians, Six Elemental Gods, and even his wives before turning around, facing everyone.

Instead of sitting, he opened his mouth and said, "You may lift your head."

His voice was calm. It even made everyone feel that the atmosphere inside the hall had changed. However, it was different for those who had met the Spirit God in the past. With only his voice, they could declare the Spirit God is still alive.

After that order, all the heads raised, looking at their present king.

*Gasp—!*

People couldn't help but suck cold breath as Alex's appearance was similar to that of the previous Spirit King. Although they had heard the rumor about him being the Spirit God's reincarnation, they just couldn't believe it until today.

The Ice Phoenix Tribe's elder closed her eyes with a smile while thinking. 'He might not have the previous king's intimidating aura, but this strange sensation as if I'm being enveloped in something… The king has the aura to make people his ally. It almost looks as if the Spirit King is wreathed in light.'

It was like a miracle, but everyone in this room thought the same thing.

'So, this is the Spirit King.'

The old man next to the throne walked toward him as Alex turned around, facing the old man.

The old man kneeled and raised both his hands, praying. "I, Kon, pray for all the spirits in this world. May the Ancient Spirits grant our king its authority."

Suddenly, a blue sword appeared above the old man. It had a complicated pattern on the blade and handle, but Alex knew what to do.

He summoned his Spirit Crown without hesitation, which turned everyone's heart upside down.

How could they not? The fact that the Spirit Crown now had two more Jewels besides the original one made one doubt if it were the true Spirit Crown or not.

But everything changed when Alex stretched his hand with a calm smile while transferring the energy from his Spirit Crown to that sword. The sword itself had no prowess or whatsoever, but the previous Alex created this sword as a symbol to govern the Spirit World, showing that the only requirement to become a Spirit King was the Spirit Crown.

When the sword was connected to the Spirit Crown, it spun its body before descending onto Alex's hand.

In that instant, everyone knew that the Spirit Crown was genuine.

He lightly set the sword to the ground and looked forward.

The old man once again roared.

"This long awaited day has come. Both Ancestral Spirits and all of Eulja's Citizens must be ecstatic with joy. Here and now, from this moment on, I declare, Alexander Sirius is the Spirit King."

The silence turned into excitement before an uproar that shook the entire room came out.

"Uoh!"

But it didn't stop there. Even the entire castle shook as the millions of people outside cheered. Something like this could be experienced all over the world.

All Guardians and Elemental Gods were shedding tears of joy as they looked at each other, feeling that the wait was worth it.

The old man gradually returned to his original position.

The situation became peaceful as many started chatting and cheering with each other, talking about their experience in this coronation. However, the process had yet to be finished.

The old man shouted for one last time. "We shall end this ceremony with the speech from the Spirit God, Alexander Sirius."

Alex smiled and took a deep breath, looking at the people in this room along with the Memory Crystals that broadcasted this ceremony from the start. The spirits began to settle down as they wanted to listen to what Alex had to say.

"I…" Alex paused for a second, inciting the curiosity of every spirit. "…Might not be the same Spirit God you have ever known."

This quickly created confusion among the spirits, but before they could say anything, Alex continued. "However, on this occasion, let me promise you one thing. No matter who you are, what your status is, your background, or even your name, I swear that I will protect you with everything I've got.

"This is not an order, not a request, not a wish. This might be the last question that I can ask for one last time, not as a king who governs upon you, but as your equal who stands alongside you."

'What?' Was the only word in everyone's thought. This was the first time they heard a king, let alone a Spirit King, asking them a question from the same point of view in a coronation. It just showed how serious this question would be.

Alex paused for a second and asked, "With everything I have, would you accompany me through strife and carnage, so we may, in the future, stand on top of the universe again…My retainers, my citizens, my friends…

"…My Family."

"!!!" The word 'Family' gave a goosebump to everyone all over the world. Alex considered them a retainer who will fight together, a citizen who will be protected, his friend who will stand alongside him, and, more importantly, his family.

It touched everyone's heart as the silence turned into another uproar, bigger than the previous cheer of his coronation.

"Uoh!"
