The Lion Court

At this very moment.

The words of Lord of Heaven Yuliel carry particular weight.

The True King and powerful beings from Endless Planes who could still stand on the earth listened attentively.

After all, the blood still flowing on the mainland signified a brutal massacre, while the valiant female Angel holding the Holy Sword stood proudly above the army in the sky, sending chills down everyone's spines.

The brave had long since followed the old True King Mingruo in committing suicide and dying for the Jinting. Those who remained were naturally those who wanted to live.

And above the heavens.

Jiang Yuu rose from the majestic and Holiness Divine Throne.

"Lionheart, come to me."

Below, in the Golden Lion Legion, a handsome young Supreme with blond hair and purple eyes stepped out from among the thousands of troops and came to stand in front of Jiang Yuu.

During this time, he had been observing and recording those True King who displayed holy white radiance in the Holy Judgment.

Jiang Yuu looked at his son with satisfaction, stepped forward, took his hand, and led him to the sky, above the clouds, before the Holiness Host, overlooking the countless creatures of the Ash Plateau, and solemnly spoke.

"You should all know this!"

"Lionheart, my eldest son!"

He rarely used a serious and solemn tone, and used the title "I" on the most solemn occasion.

"He respects others, never acts arrogantly because of his strength, and always maintains a humble attitude."

"He upheld his integrity, defended his dignity, and was consistent in word and deed!"

"Although he is my son, a prince of Paradise Mountain, he is willing to sacrifice his personal interests and even his life for the Holy Paradise Mountain, justice, and his fellow countrymen."

"He faced formidable enemies and perilous situations head-on, showing no fear or hesitation on the battlefield, and never retreating."

"He was compassionate, showing sympathy for the weak, the injured, and the innocent; he always had a kind heart."

He was always honest, rejecting lies and deceit, and adhering to sincerity in both his vows and his daily words and deeds.

"He is fair and just, able to distinguish right from wrong, and upholds justice in his Judgment and actions, punishing evil and promoting good."

"He cherished his people and the Holy Paradise Mountain, adhered to the law, and pursued spiritual nobility."

"He was named Lionheart, possessing both Monarch bearing Knight virtues, which earned him countless followers."

"He is my proud eldest son, the proud lion of the Heavenly Kingdom, the protector of countless Human Race, and one of the most exalted Angel."

Jiang Yuu praise made Lionheart blush with excitement.

He never knew that he was seen this way in his father's eyes.

He looked at Jiang Yuu's tall figure and was filled with emotion.

"Father, it turns out I've always held a place in your heart."

And very soon.

Then he heard his mighty Father God solemnly announce.

"Today, I have used the Embers power of Alanmonlos to forge an Ember Emperor's Divine Eye, which I bestow upon Lionheart."

"With this Ember Emperor's Divine Eye, Lionheart will possess power surpassing even a peak True King, and a portion of Alanmonlos's power."

"Although I will be traveling to the Endless Planes, it is impossible for me, the Supreme of the Multiverse, and all the armies to remain in the Endless Planes."

"Therefore, I have found a representative to exercise my Authority."

"And this person is Lionheart!"

Upon hearing this statement...

The True King and powerful beings Endless Planes were all stirred, and various thoughts arose in their minds.

But the Monarch continued speaking.

"In the future, he will replace me and my Holy Paradise Mountain, wielding political Authority and ruling over everything in Endless Planes!"

"You guilty members of the Burning Ember Court, those who are willing to submit to Lionheart, will have your sentences reduced by one degree."

"It is not unreasonable to reduce the sentence by several degrees for those who perform well."

Jiang Yuu finished speaking, she looked at the reactions below.

On the plateau, the eyes of many beings whose sins were not grave lit up, while those whose sins were grave flickered.

He ignored him, smiled slightly, looked at Lionheart, and said.

"Alright, I've finished speaking. Lionheart, it's your turn to say a few words. Many of these people will become your subjects in the future; you must face them in advance."

Lionheart nodded emphatically.

With his father's support, he can do everything well.

So he took a deep breath, walked to the cloud, and, like the Father God, looked down with absolute majesty at the countless powerful beings in the Endless Planes below.

He was about to speak when his father reminded him from behind.

"Activate your Ember Emperor's Divine Eye and speak to them."

"The people of the Endless Planes always fear power and authority; your virtue is a secondary concern to them."

"I understand, Father."

Lionheart gave a soft "hmm" and activated the Ember Emperor's Divine Eye on his forehead.

Instantly.

An endless pressure erupted from his body, and a power familiar to countless Endless True King and powerful figures descended once again.

Countless gray snowflakes drifted down across this plateau, the power of the concept of Embers carrying a Holiness and majestic aura, sweeping across the heavens and earth.

Such power, such might.

He has truly acquired some of the strength of the Ember Emperor Alanmonlos.

This instantly put them on edge.

Many people immediately abandoned certain dark thoughts that had been ingrained in their minds.

This eldest son of Lord of Heaven possesses the Ember Emperor's Divine Eye, making him essentially a pseudo-emperor.

With a true Emperor backing him, he indeed possessed the ability to temporarily rule over Endless Planes.

Lionheart observed the reactions of the many beings Endless Planes, especially the True King, and a slight tremor ran through him.

These people, as expected, do have their own ideas.

They could rule over the Lord of Heaven Yuliel, after all, Yuliel was the one who truly defeated the Ember Emperor Alanmonlos.

But what is Lionheart?

The firstborn son of Lord of Heaven?

No, such an identity is far less useful than the power of the Ember Emperor's Divine Eye.

Lionheart realized this, and instead of using the more polite words he had previously intended to say, he spoke directly and seriously.

"I am Lionheart, Son of Lord of Heaven, Lionheart Monarch, Lord of the Ember Emperor's Divine Eye, the representative of Holy Paradise Mountain in the Endless Planes, and the wielder of Supreme Authority in the Endless Planes."

"For the next ten million years, I will work with everyone to maintain the Order left behind by the Ember Emperor Alanmonlos, and safeguard the peace of the Endless Planes."

"Upon reaching the Endless Planes, I will establish the Golden Lion Holy Court as the ruling institution to govern the Endless Planes, replacing the Ember Court."

"In the future, you may also call me the Lionheart King!"

"Besides."

"Since I will rule the Endless Planes my father, those who submit to me may join the Golden Lion Holy Court to govern the Endless Planes and maintain peace within them."

"Those who are unwilling to submit to me, after the atonement is complete, you may each return home, but you must abide by the laws and Order of my Lion Court."

"And those who resist me, I will surely annihilate!"

Lionheart finished speaking in one breath and withdrew the power of the Ember Emperor's Divine Eye.

In an instant, the gray snow in the world vanished, and that desolate yet powerful aura dissipated.

He returned to Jiang Yuu's side and lowered his head.

"Father, I'm done."

"You did a good job, Lionheart!"

Jiang Yuu patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, giving him a positive evaluation.

"I look forward to you building your own Lion Court."

Then.

He then walked to the edge of the cloud once more, looked down at the countless powerful beings from Endless Planes who were lost in thought, and spoke.

"Alright, my eldest son Lionheart has finished speaking. If you have any further questions, please take this opportunity to ask."

"Soon, we will travel together to the Endless Planes."

At this moment.

A young, beautiful True King with gray hair mustered her courage and spoke.

"Your Majesty, how can we sinners atone for our crimes?"
