Meanwhile.
The power of the stars around Lilith gradually dispersed, absorbed into her body.
Her presence had changed dramatically. She radiated even greater majesty than the domineering empress the people of Vala remembered.
As the four fathomless Void Eyes on her forehead swept over them, everyone felt compelled to submit.
"Congratulations on your ascension to godhood, Her Majesty the Empress!"
Sensing that the Void Empress had become a true god, her subjects all fell to their knees in reverent awe.
Mixed into their fear was a trace of admiration.
The people of Vala finally had a god of their own.
At that moment, people throughout Vala sensed the birth of the Vala God.
They set aside their work and bowed their heads in respect wherever they stood.
Luo Yu knew Lilith's strength far surpassed that of an ordinary Subgod, and delight filled his heart.
Now the Observers watching Blue Star really were no problem.
Beating them would be child's play.
"Luo God, thanks to your guidance, we in Vala finally have a god of our own."
After the ministers finished paying their respects, the Forest Queen, Karen, approached Luo Yu, looking ready to weep with joy.
Her former queenly dignity had vanished completely.
Instead, she looked like a little girl whose wish had come true.
Still, Luo Yu was a god himself, so Karen had no need to maintain her usual bearing before him.
Seeing her, Luo Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
Previously, he had lied to Vala, claiming he was a god and that the one participating in the World Tournament was merely a clone with a restricted level.
Now he had finally made that lie come true.
From this day on, he was the Luo God!
"Lilith deserves credit for being exceptional, too."
Luo Yu replied modestly.
