Lord of the Morning Star!
Why didn't that Fishman become king?
He is the only Fishman among this group, and in terms of physical strength, he surpasses the other 999 people. He has the greatest chance of winning the crown.
Moreover, he was very obedient to Li Yuan. When Li Yuan said that he should climb over the corpses of others, he immediately understood.
He kicked others off the cliff and stepped over their corpses to move forward.
But the fact is that he was the first to die because of this.
On the contrary, that person completely went against Li Yuan 'Li Yuan wishes and violated the rules he set, making everyone willingly give him the crown.
His physical abilities were clearly not the best, and his appearance was not as good as others, yet he was the one who won the crown.
Why is that?
Li Yuan simply smiled, showing not a trace of anger.
Because what he said was the opposite from the very beginning.
A king was born.
Surrounded by countless people, the man slowly placed the crown on his head.
Everyone's eyes were shining, even though they knew each other completely because they had only known each other for three days.
Even so, they willingly handed over the crown to others.
They couldn't be sure how powerful the king was, but they were all quite certain that he would consider their interests.
Because he possessed that little bit of kindness that everyone else lacked.
With these people as witnesses, Li Yuan slowly raised his hand, bestowing upon this human being the most sublime coronation ceremony.
He transformed the king into a priest, and some of the people surrounding the king into Fishman.
"This appearance is a symbol of divine power, a supreme honor. You are children of the sea, you can rule over all the waters in the world, and wherever water flows, that is our kingdom."
From this point on, Li Yuan began to implant a preconceived notion.
Human form is a lowly and inferior form, while the symbol of the Fishman is the bestowal of divine power and the supreme honor.
This concept will soon be planted in everyone's heart like a seed, and will take root and sprout over time.
Perhaps in less than a generation, people's aesthetic sense will gradually change, and they will regard the Fishman's form as beautiful.
And once the perception of human form as ugly and inferior is formed, the simultaneous transformation of thought and body is completed.
On the other side of the planet, there is such a rich place.
Nestled amidst mountains and water, this place boasts lush vegetation, blooming flowers, and is home to countless wild animals who consider it their paradise.
At the same time, this land is also rich in mineral deposits, making it a veritable treasure trove.
However, one day, a group of humans came from the East, following the guidance of the gods, and set foot on the most fertile land on this continent.
Amazed by the wonders of the place, they settled there and called it the blessed land of Angnas.
Their god is the primordial God of Mysteries, the source of all mysteries.
Number 074: Lord of the Morning Star.
Number 074: Lord of the Morning Star
That is, the Starry Sky Principal, who obtained the Forbidden Potion and ascended to the fifth level, did not carefully select a king like Li Yuan did, but just randomly picked someone and designated him as the king.
He dared to do this because he had absolute confidence.
Starry Sky Principal's abilities are far more terrifying than they appear on the surface; he is a being without flesh and blood, a pure energy entity.
He also possesses an ability similar to transforming familiars.
This is also the only ability of his that has not been disabled.
It was this ability that gave Starry Sky Principal unprecedented confidence.
His retinue can overpower all other retinues.
However, Starry Sky Principal did not directly convert the followers. Instead, he had these humans build a high platform and create an altar according to a certain model.
People didn't know what the altar was for, and in fact, it was useless.
However, he could add a layer of mystery to the process of transforming relatives.
To inspire faith in these people, they must understand that everything they have received is a gift from God.
The king commanded those people to build houses, cut down trees, and erect altars, while he himself sat there.
No one dared to utter a word of dissent, for it was the right bestowed upon him by the crown upon his head.
"Speed up! I can't wait to ascend!"
The king grinned as he spoke.
It seems that Starry Sky Principal has chosen a tyrant.
Behind the king, a man was repeatedly rubbing a small stone knife on a pebble.
The gods taught them to break the stone open and use the sharp parts as weapons and tools.
Weapons and tools can cut flesh and can also be used to cut down trees.
Several days later.
With the most primitive means, people smashed the stone into countless fragments and used them to build a circular altar.
The king smiled faintly and walked up to the altar, then opened his arms wide. "God, I am ready to receive ascension!"
"Please grant me strength!"
Upon hearing the king's words, Starry Sky Principal slowly raised his right hand.
Before he could act, a man suddenly darted out from behind the king!
The man, wielding a simple, homemade stone spear, strode forward and thrust the spear directly at the king from behind!
Pfft!
The sound of flesh being pierced rang out, and under the shocked gazes of everyone, even the king's eyes widened!
"You... how dare you!!"
Bump!!
The man wielded the stone spear and pressed the king to the ground, then exerted all his strength to push downwards!
"Ahhh!!"
The man roared, and with a snap, the stone spear in his hand broke in two, and the king was no longer breathing.
Upon seeing this, the man began to pant heavily, then roared at the corpse beneath him, "You are utterly unworthy to be king!!"
The man picked up the crown and turned to look at the crowd. He seemed to want to hand the crown to someone else, but everyone instinctively stepped back.
No one dared to accept that blood-stained crown.
A moment later, someone shouted, "We are willing to make you our king!"
As soon as someone spoke up, the others immediately joined in!
"We are willing to acknowledge you as our king!"
The man, clutching the crown, froze on the spot. "Me?"
Before the man could react, the crown floated directly onto his head.
Seeing this, Starry Sky Principal waved his hand and said, "Never mind, it doesn't matter who the king is, he just randomly chose him from the beginning anyway."
"You who have been crowned king, step forward."
Has the deity spoken?
The man who put on the crown turned around and stood on the altar, with the body of the previous king beneath his feet.
At that moment, purple ripples gradually appeared in the air!
A crystal-like object descended from the sky with a burst of energy and struck the man directly in the chest!
Puff!
Blood spurted out, and before the man could react, his flesh and blood instantly melted away, turning into pure energy!
The man stretched out his hands, and his palms appeared murky, like energy bodies.
He felt an unparalleled and powerful force, a force beyond human comprehension, Power of Stars!
"This is... ascension?"
