Sister Will Look Out for You from Now On

Long Haochen helplessly extended a hand and took Li Xin's.

Li Xin's hand was not as smooth as Yue Ye's. The skin on her palm was noticeably rougher, clearly from frequent sword practice, making her fingers especially long and strong.

To Li Xin, Long Haochen's hand was somewhat larger than an ordinary child's, yet soft and warm, extremely comfortable to hold. Li Xin marveled inwardly, This little sister's hand is as tender as her face!

"Thank you, Sister. My name is Long Haochen. I'm from the Odin Sub-Hall, and I'm here to take the Squire assessment."

"Oh?"

Li Xin gave Long Haochen a surprised look. He appeared to be only around ten years old, yet he already possessed the cultivation of a Squire?

Li Xin had successfully passed the Squire assessment at thirteen and had already been called the greatest genius in the history of the Hao Yue Sub-Temple. If Long Haochen truly possessed the cultivation of a Squire, wouldn't he have broken Li Xin's record?

Before long, the two arrived in the main hall. At the front of the hall stood six stone chairs, each nearly ten feet tall, carved with extraordinarily intricate patterns.

Long Haochen recognized at a glance that these six stone chairs were modeled after the Six Thrones of Seal.

Long Haochen did not examine the other thrones closely. Instead, he focused his gaze on the throne in the very center.

The central throne was the least dazzling of them all. Its entire body was pitch-black, and its tall backrest was ancient and imposing. A faint aura of majesty emanated from it. The backrest was engraved with the sun, moon, stars, flowers, birds, fish, insects, and all manner of plants, brimming with vitality. The other five, more splendid thrones surrounded it as though they were merely there to accentuate it.

The Creator God's Transcendent Divine Artifact, the Eternal and Creation God's Throne of Divine Seal!

Long Haochen had heard Feng Xiu introduce the Eternal and Creation God's Throne of Divine Seal more than once. Aside from the Knight Temple, Feng Xiu was likely the one who understood it best.

Seeing Long Haochen staring unblinkingly at the central throne, Li Xin stopped and patiently explained, "These are the Six Thrones of Seal, symbols of the Knight Temple's highest honor. Only Ninth Tier powerhouses are qualified to earn a throne's recognition. Ninth Tier powerhouses who possess a throne are known as Divine Knights. Every Divine Knight has the strength to challenge alone any of the top ten Demon Gods among the Seventy-Two Demon Gods."

"Every Throne of Seal is a true Divine Artifact, bearing an imprint left behind by a god. Sister's goal is to one day become a true Divine Knight!"

Though Li Xin's explanation was not comprehensive, it was already quite impressive that someone of her current status and cultivation knew so much.

Li Xin was right: every Throne of Seal was a Divine Artifact, but the only one that truly bore a divine imprint was the central Eternal and Creation God's Throne of Divine Seal. The other five thrones were merely imitations of it.

Six thousand years ago, the Seventy-Two Demon Gods, led by the first Demon God Emperor, swept through the human armies. Wherever the Seventy-Two Demon Gods passed, living beings suffered devastation, and countless human powerhouses died by their hands.

At the same time, a dazzling meteor fell into humanity's headquarters, and an enormous throne appeared with it.

Soon, a total of fifty-two Demon Gods attacked humanity's headquarters, where the throne was located.

At the time, nearly all the master craftsmen and alchemists responsible for constructing the five Thrones of Seal had gathered at the site of the Primordial Throne, seeking to imitate the Eternal and Creation God's Throne of Divine Seal that had descended from the heavens.

Faced with fifty-two Demon Gods eyeing them like tigers, everyone present believed humanity was finished.

Upon seeing the Eternal and Creation God's Throne of Divine Seal, the fifty-two Demon Gods immediately tried to seize it and take it away. But at that moment, the Eternal and Creation God's Throne of Divine Seal suddenly erupted with incomparable, dazzling radiance. The light was nine-colored and shone with golden brilliance. In the sky, nine-colored auspicious clouds descended.

The Eternal and Creation God's Throne of Divine Seal abruptly separated, transforming into a suit of armor and a divine sword gleaming with nine-colored golden light. The armor seemed to come alive, grasping the divine sword and attacking the fifty-two Demon Gods.

Its attack was incredibly simple. It merely wrote ten complex, enormous characters in the air. Yet those ten characters instantly killed thirty-four Demon Gods on the spot. The remaining eighteen Demon Gods, including the Demon God Emperor, were all severely wounded, dealing a devastating blow to the Demon Race.

And those ten characters were the Eternal and Creation God's Throne of Divine Seal, the nightmare of all Demon Gods.

The master craftsmen and alchemists who had witnessed the might of the Eternal and Creation God's Throne of Divine Seal finally understood the meaning of the Thrones of Seal. Using the Eternal and Creation God's Throne of Divine Seal as their model and its power as their blueprint, humanity ultimately spent three generations reproducing the other five Thrones of Seal.

Everything above was all the information regarding the Eternal and Creation God's Throne of Divine Seal passed down by the Demon Race's ancestors. As for what unknown secrets the throne still possessed, Long Haochen would have to explore them himself.

One of the life goals Feng Xiu had set for Long Haochen was to gain the recognition of the Eternal and Creation God's Throne of Divine Seal. Long Haochen had also been working tirelessly toward that goal.

Thus far, only three people in the Knight Temple had received the recognition of a Throne of Seal. In other words, the Knight Temple had only three Divine Knights, and the Long Family already accounted for two of them.

Long Haochen withdrew his gaze and followed Li Xin through the main hall to a very spacious room on the second floor.

"This is where Uncle Nalan works. He probably hasn't come to the sub-temple yet, so let's wait here."

After saying that, Li Xin's mischievous eyes spun, and a mysterious smile appeared on her face. Lowering her head until she was practically biting Long Haochen's ear, she whispered, "Little sister, can you tell Sister why you're disguising yourself as a boy?"

Faced with Li Xin's bold action, Long Haochen froze slightly. The warm breath she exhaled brushed against his ear, and an indescribably strange sensation spread from it. His face instantly reddened, even the tips of his ears turning crimson.

Other than Bai Yue and Yue Ye, he had never been this close to any other girl! If Yue Ye found out...

Seeing Long Haochen's flushed little face, Li Xin covered her mouth and giggled. "Little sister, why are you so easily embarrassed? You're really adorable! Back then, I was afraid the Knight Temple wouldn't accept girls either, so I joined the Knight Temple disguised as a boy. Don't worry, I'll keep your secret. From now on, in our Hao Yue Sub-Temple, Sister will look out for you. Sister will dote on you properly."

As she spoke, Li Xin smiled and pinched Long Haochen's flushed little cheek.

Faced with Li Xin's teasing, Long Haochen finally could not take it anymore. He had to make Li Xin realize that he was a dignified young man, not some delicate little girl.
