The Demon Emperor was Saint Emperor-Chapter 48: Ambition for Ascension to Divinity

Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Ambition for Ascension to Divinity

"So you... you and Miss Xiya are a match, but... what about me?"

Upon hearing Lynn’s assurance, the lovestruck Vivian chose to trust him.

But if Lynn truly was a demigod, he and Xiya from the Elf Race could grow old together. However, she herself was only at level 100, merely an initial-level martial artist, and couldn’t even live to be a hundred...

"This..."

This time it was Lynn’s turn to fall silent. He was so focused on winning over Vivian, he forgot that the weak Vivian wouldn’t be able to grow old with him.

Damn! We must be able to team up and level up!

Disappear, game system, give me some power! If I can’t help Vivian level up, I’ll jump out and kill you!

"Tomorrow, tomorrow I’ll take you out to level up. We won’t return until I get you to level 900!"

Lynn tightly grasped Vivian’s hand, speaking to her with considerable tension.

Even though she’s only nineteen this year, in the prime of her youth, Lynn seemingly sees the image of her growing old on her own, a scene he couldn’t bear.

That must not happen! I will level you up and help you soar!

"You... you don’t have to worry so much. Even if... even if I can’t grow old with you, I can spend a lifetime accompanying you."

Sensing Lynn’s panic, the understanding Vivian released Little Yuna, who was acting as a doll, and tightly held Lynn’s hand back, gently comforting him.

"That’s not enough! I want you to be with me forever!"

Lynn dared not hold on too tightly, afraid of causing Vivian pain.

"Yes, I will be with you forever, but my forever isn’t your forever... Thankfully, there’s Miss Xiya. You must... capture her, so even if I’m no longer here, she can accompany you for always."

Earlier, there was a hint of emotion, but now Vivian was completely relieved. Why should she care if Lynn wished to have Xiya too? Compared to her, Xiya was the companion who could truly spend a lifetime with him.

As for herself, she could only accompany him for a short while. Why make Lynn feel troubled, or make herself uncomfortable in this brief life?

"What are you all saying!"

At this moment, Marquis Jones, serving as a backdrop, couldn’t hold back any longer. Even if it interrupted the warmhearted moments of his daughter and future son-in-law, he had to speak.

"Let’s be straightforward today, we’re here for a match-making, how come the conversation shifted to life and death separation? Lynn, don’t raise your hand just yet, let me finish!"

"Vivian lacks talent and can’t train to the Saint Tier that can extend life, but she’s healthy and can live a robust life into her eighties or nineties, and a hundred is no issue for her. But Lynn, you’re exceptionally talented as a demigod and can live for a thousand years. It seems you are destined for a tragic love like the elves and the human race, but..."

"But Lynn, didn’t you say you’re at level 999? Can’t you strive a bit more, aim to break through to level 1000 and become a deity, and by then, bring Vivian into your Divine Kingdom, and the two of you can share eternal time?" 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"Or do you lack confidence to rise just 1 level within the seventy or eighty years Vivian has remaining? Isn’t that squandering your unprecedented talent?"

When he finished speaking, Marquis Jones took several deep breaths; his rapid-fire words nearly suffocated even him, a Saint Tier expert.

But the effect was evidently good, Vivian’s eyes sparked with hope because of his words, and Lynn showed a realization on his face, even the wife who had frequently dismissed him now looked at him with admiration, as if she had just discovered her husband’s brilliance.

"I understand! I’ll go for the deity, absolutely!"

If the Demon Dragon Emperor’s dying words "Do not ascend to divinity" acted as a warning to Lynn, then his father-in-law’s words "become a deity" were definitely encouragement.

Level up with Vivian, bring Vivian into the Divine Kingdom...

Both tasks must be handled, both must be strong.

If the former method doesn’t work, then unfortunately the warning of the Demon Dragon Emperor’s dying words will be ignored.

To be eternally together with the girl I love, even if the divine ascension is a false trap, I’ll dare to pierce the heavens to snag the deceiver! Scatter their ashes to the wind!

Even a Pure Love War God is a god, who says I can’t ascend to divinity!

"Then you must make a great effort, strive to also bring dad and mom into the Divine Kingdom."

Vivian finally regained the spirit appropriate for her age, her cheeks flushed as she cheered Lynn on, her sweet and enthusiastic tone made Lynn’s motivation skyrocket.

"Give me some time, it will be done!"

Lynn smacked his chest with a loud thud, making a spirited guarantee.

Yet his words only made the young Vivian delighted, as for Marquis Jones and his wife, they exchanged a glance, noticing the absence of the expected excitement in each other’s eyes.

Just 1 level difference, spoken so lightly...

The whole Miracle World throughout its recorded history never had an example of mortals becoming deities, that’s ten thousand years with not a single case!

With a 0% ascension rate, how can it incite hope? Is Lynn truly that special in ten thousand years of history?

Wait! It seems he truly is that special...

Based on their historical knowledge, the highest level demigod powerful was 940, and that one lived for over a thousand years before finally declining.

What about Lynn? He claims he’s at level 999!

If he truly wasn’t lying or exaggerating, then the difference of 1 level might actually hold infinitely more hope than the difference of 60 levels.

Level 999 isn’t merely a demigod level, it’s known as a Near God.

Ancestors didn’t reach level 999 themselves, yet they designated a unique title for it.

Ancient wise people surely weren’t idle enough to make fun with level 999; since it’s called Near God, it must indeed be very close to deity.

Even if the whole ten-thousand-year history of the Miracle World never saw mortals ascend to divinity, it doesn’t mean it’s impossible in the future, Lynn’s reach to 999-level Near God was unprecedented, so why can’t there be another unprecedented event?

Of course, it all hinges on Lynn truly being at level 999, perhaps even a 1-level shortfall is unacceptable...

"Alright then, when is Sister Xiya coming over with the kids? I’ll come visit."

Vivian nodded happily, now beginning to anticipate meeting Xiya, for perhaps she would be sharing a lifetime with Lynn just like her, an elf companion.

"If there are no surprises, she’ll come today. Stay for lunch, you might meet her in the afternoon."

Lynn calculated the time and found no big discrepancies.

"Ah?"

Vivian was stunned.

"Ah!?"

Marquis Jones and his wife exclaimed in surprise, exchanged looks and saw the same message in each other’s eyes.

Quick, leave! Don’t let Xiya catch you...
