Becoming the Demon Lord: Taming the Demon Queen Begins

Even though Aurelian, the old Dragon King, was captured, the appearance of Goddess Sylvia saved the entire Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon.

After all, without her intervention, the Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon would have likely been completely destroyed by now, massacred by the forces of Thunderflame Valley.

Draconis, the Grand Elder of the Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon, slowly flew above the shrine. His aged face was filled with sincere gratitude as he deeply bowed to Sylvia: "Thank you, Goddess Sylvia, for your timely rescue. The grace of the goddess will forever be remembered by our shrine."

At the same time, all the dragons within the shrine also knelt down, bowing respectfully upwards: "Thank you for the grace of the goddess!"

"Thank you, Goddess, for your intervention!"

Not only that, but the tides surged, and tens of thousands of marine creatures from the Western Sea swarmed towards the Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon.

Even though these ordinary sea creatures were not yet sentient, they all bowed respectfully towards Sylvia.

The scene was grand and magnificent,at that moment, the entire Western Sea seemed to be worshipping Goddess Sylvia.

Sylvia nodded slightly and said calmly, "There's someone else I want you to see."

After saying this, she glanced at Timothy.

Understanding her cue, Timothy blew a whistle: "Little Dragon King, time to come home."

Suddenly, a dragon with sea-blue scales, radiating the unique majesty of a Dragon King, plunged into the sea.

The light twisted and transformed, settling next to Timothy, now in the form of a delicate little girl.

"Dragon King, Azura!"

The Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon erupted in excitement.

They had not expected the Dragon King, who had been captured by Thunderflame Valley, to return safely.

Even though Azura's succession as the Dragon King had been somewhat controversial within the Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon.

But now, her presence was like a stabilizing anchor in the shrine, a new hope for the Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon!

"Thank you, Goddess, thank you, Goddess."

Old dragon Draconis was incredibly moved, his eyes even shimmering with tears.

However, he suddenly noticed that Azura carried a scent similar to Timothy's.

And that scent...

"Dragon King, you've entered into a master-servant pact with this Timothy!" Draconis's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Yes, I've temporarily entered into a one-year master-servant pact with this human," Azura said, puffing out her chest, even seeming a bit proud.

Old dragon Draconis was dumbfounded.

Azura was a Dragon King!

Even ordinary dragons would never willingly submit to humans.

And yet, Azura, as a Dragon King, had signed a master-servant pact!

This was a huge blow to the dignity of the Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon!

"Ha, you think I would truly submit to a human?

This is just a temporary measure, clinging to his coattails for now.

In exchange, I've managed to obtain two Golden Scale Dragon Carps from him."

"Golden Scale Dragon Carp?" Draconis was shocked.

Golden Scale Dragon Carp were incredibly rare,the Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon had sent countless people to find them over the years, with little success.

For any dragon, Golden Scale Dragon Carp could potentially bring about a transformative change.

If that was true, it might be somewhat acceptable, but...

"I indeed have signed a master-servant pact with your Dragon King.

According to the agreement, for this year, Azura will serve as my pet and serve me.

However, in return, I will also help her advance her realm," Timothy said, stepping next to Azura.

"Boost her realm? Even with your tricks, how far do you think you can take her?"

"What if I told you that within a year, I could help her reach the Ocean's Gate, or even the Transcendence Realm?" Timothy said with a casual smile.

Draconis was instantly stunned.

Azura was only at the Mystic Core level now. If Timothy could really elevate her to the Ocean's Gate or even the Transcendence Realm, that would be terrifying!

He looked incredulously towards Goddess Sylvia.

"I can't guarantee it, but if it's Timothy, you might want to take a chance on him," Sylvia nodded, her gaze inadvertently showing a mysterious trust in Timothy.

Draconis was utterly shocked.

Everything that happened today was far beyond his understanding.

If it were anyone else making such bold claims, he wouldn't have believed them.

But just moments ago, Timothy had chased down and personally killed the Holy Emperor Thunderflame over thousands of miles.

Combining that with the expression Sylvia wore and the terrifying rumors about Timothy he had heard...

At this moment, Draconis felt he had no choice but to believe.

"Alright, I choose to trust," Draconis said through gritted teeth, finally agreeing.

"For the future of Dragon King Azura, the Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon is willing to entrust her to Timothy and the goddess," Draconis bowed respectfully to both Timothy and Sylvia, his voice tinged with a touch of time-worn weariness. "However, there are too many eyes here. Please, Goddess, let's continue this discussion in the grand hall of the Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon."

Sylvia nodded.

Amidst many reverent gazes, she led Azura to the grand hall of the Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon.

The affairs of the Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon were nearly concluded.

However, although Holy Emperor Thunderflame was dead.

The other two Holy Emperors who had fought alongside Holy Emperor Thunderflame at Sky Sanctuary, Holy Emperor Featherwind and Holy Emperor Mountainshade, were likely not going to let things rest.

Especially since they had used the old Dragon King in that eerie Dragon Blood Formation.

The already unpredictable situation seemed even more fraught with intrigue.

As the sacrificial pawn, the Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon was clearly the most likely to be casually destroyed.

Old dragon Draconis was clearly aware of this and went out of his way to repeatedly declare his loyalty in front of Sylvia.

Not only did he acquiesce to Azura, as the Dragon King, signing the master-servant pact, but he also made it clear that as long as Goddess Sylvia ruled over Sky Sanctuary, the Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon would forever submit to Sky Sanctuary.

"Good," Sylvia nodded slightly from her seat of power. "In that case, I can lend this sword to the Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon to ensure its safety."

With those cool words, a verdant green sword soared into the sky, suddenly plunging into the center of the Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon.

A pillar of green light, almost reaching the heavens, illuminated the entire shrine.

"This is... the Celestial Dawn Sword!"

The entire Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon erupted in excitement.

The Celestial Dawn Sword, imbued with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and forged by an ancient Holy Emperor, was a supreme magical artifact.

As the personal sword of Goddess Sylvia, the Celestial Dawn Sword's spirit had grown even stronger.

Under the glow of this green light, the entire Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon felt as if it was under the comforting protection of a Holy Emperor himself, safeguarding the peace of the shrine!

"Goddess, you actually!" Draconis, moved to tears, bowed repeatedly: "From now on, the Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon will forever submit to the goddess, loyal unto death!"

"Loyal unto death!"

"Loyal unto death!"

Echoes of reverent cheers resounded throughout the Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon.

Sylvia sat in the seat of the Dragon King, exuding a cool majesty.

It was as if she was the true Dragon King of this place.

Only Azura, the dragon, stood beside her, feeling utterly confused.

"Why do I suddenly feel like my position as Dragon King just turned into a lonely one?"

Under the lead of old dragon Draconis, the entire Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon bowed respectfully.
