CHAPTER 456: CHAPTER 295_2

If Lu Yan had spoken these words to Elizabeth before demonstrating a terrifying power enough to suppress the Undying King and overlook the Victoria Royal Family, she would undoubtedly be shocked by such secrets.

Even if she believed in their authenticity, she would never dare entertain any unrealistic notions.

Conquer all kingdoms? Unite the continent?

This is simply the talk of a madman! The difficulty is beyond imagination, not to mention that the Seven Great Churches would never stand by and watch a powerful empire rise that could threaten the foundation of their beliefs.

But now, everything is different.

Having witnessed firsthand how Lu Yan easily trampled the entire Victoria Royal Family, how he forcibly pushed her, an obscure princess, onto the queen’s throne, and even the Hidden Evil God can be suppressed by him, all of this planted a seed called "possibility" in Elizabeth’s heart.

Since the Underworld possesses such terrifying strength, balancing or even confronting the Seven Great Churches seems not entirely impossible?

If there truly is the Underworld as a backing, the path to the True God’s throne might not be an unattainable dream for her.

Igniting a raging flame called ambition in Elizabeth’s heart, making her have a strong desire for the path of the True God, thus relying more on the support of Lu Yan and the Underworld, this is Lu Yan’s true aim.

This not only ensures that after he departs this mysterious version, Elizabeth will still firmly maintain the Union’s status and vigorously promote the faith of the Underworld but also tightly bind the entire Victoria Kingdom and even any other kingdoms that might be conquered in the future to his chariot.

A queen whose ambition to become a god has been ignited will be his most loyal and strongest piece.

As everything concluded perfectly, the worried nobles and royal family members hurriedly exited the hall that witnessed history like a receding tide.

Many of them still had faces marked by shock and humiliation, eager to spread the sensational news that could trigger an earthquake among the Seven Kingdoms.

Of course, there were also a few sharp-eyed or opportunistic nobles who saw opportunities to rise in the new order.

They attempted to stay behind after the crowd dispersed, wanting to be the first to express their loyalty in front of the newly crowned queen, striving to secure a favorable position in the new regime.

However, Elizabeth’s eyes, just now shining with ambition and authority, now cast a cold and sharp gaze unfettered, sweeping over them as if it were tangible.

These nobles immediately felt a chill throughout their bodies, as if frozen by an invisible ice, quickly gathering up their thoughts and not daring to linger any longer.

After respectfully saluting, they also swiftly exited the hall.

In just a few minutes, the once tense grand Royal Palace Hall became utterly deserted.

Only the cold pillars, luxurious carpets, and Lu Yan with an indifferent expression on the Golden Throne remained, along with Elizabeth, who had just been crowned queen, standing before him.

As everything around fell silent, only their breaths could be heard.

Elizabeth slowly turned around, looking up at Lu Yan on the Golden Throne. The majesty and ambition that could command the world just now receded like the tide from her beautiful face, replaced by an almost fanatical reverence and submission beyond words.

The Scepter of Royal Authority, symbolizing the kingdom’s supreme power, was casually thrown onto the velvet carpet by her, causing a dull thud.

The queen’s robe, intricate and luxurious and symbolizing supreme status, also gradually faded in a shimmer of light, revealing a more fitted silk slip underneath, outlining her graceful and exquisite silhouette.

Elizabeth’s cold decisiveness was replaced by a gentle allure and fiery zeal, and her slender, well-proportioned figure piously knelt before the Golden Throne once again, more completely than ever, her forehead almost touching the cold ground.

"What you have given, Elizabeth can hardly repay no matter what."

Her voice carried a slight tremor, full of excitement and submission, "I am willing to offer my soul, my body, everything I own and will own, all to you!"

...

Time flew by like a fleeting horse.

With Elizabeth ascending to the queen’s throne and showing absolute loyalty to Lu Yan, everything in the Victoria Kingdom seemed to accelerate.

The Union’s development surged like a bamboo breaking through, rapidly spreading nationwide with Her Majesty’s personal directive and the kingdom’s official robust support. Originally confined to a few major cities, the Union quickly expanded across the country, absorbing a vast number of craftsmen, commoners, and even some disillusioned knights, its scale and influence growing explosively.

The propagation of the Underworld faith was brought to the forefront, with Elizabeth even personally ordering the Union to build Underworld Divine Halls across the kingdom, reallocating some resources originally belonging to the Steam Sect.

And the Steam Sect remained silent, seemingly acquiescing to the expansion of the Underworld faith. For a time, Lu Yan’s layout in the Victoria Kingdom encountered no hindrance, progressing more smoothly than imaginable.

The rapidly growing Union provided a massive base of believers for the Underworld faith, while the kingdom’s official government support provided legitimacy and resource allocation.

These two factors acted as the most effective catalyst, allowing Anna, as the Underworld’s worldly representative, to rapidly absorb the power of Sequence Seven Sin Judgment Clerk.
