"It's Count of Moshi Territory, the Goddess has blessed Count of Moshi Territory!" someone in the crowd exclaimed. The scale of the divine light that initially enveloped Su Mo was already substantial. Now, the Crescent Moon Goddess was focusing even more on him, giving Su Mo an individual blessing.
Such extra attention during each blessing ceremony was quite rare. Those who had witnessed the last blessing ceremony a few years ago quickly noticed that this time, the Crescent Moon Goddess's additional blessing to Su Mo far exceeded previous instances.
The holy light was not only brighter but also had a larger diameter, enveloping Su Mo entirely. Moreover, the individual blessing Su Mo received surpassed even that of the Crescent Moon Queen, signifying more divine favor.
"Even the Goddess approves of Count of Moshi Territory. Does this mean that Count of Moshi Territory is soon to become the consort of the Queen?" some people speculated.
"In the kingdom, it seems only Count of Moshi Territory is worthy of our Queen!"
"Yeah, the other nobles, even the heirs of the ducal families, pale in comparison to Count of Moshi Territory."
"Great! If Count of Moshi Territory becomes the Queen's consort, our kingdom will surely thrive!"
"If only Count of Moshi Territory could become the king."
In the square, as they watched Su Mo being extra blessed by the Moon Goddess, receiving more divine favor, the people started discussing. They understood it in simple terms the Moon Goddess likely approved of Su Mo, agreeing to him becoming the Queen's consort. Therefore, the additional blessing was a sign of divine favor.
The people were delighted, and many commoners even hoped for Su Mo to become the actual ruler of the kingdom, admiring the prosperity in his territory.However, joining Su Mo's territory wasn't as simple as it seemed. Many commoners belonged to different noble territories, and breaking away from those was not easy. Still, if Su Mo became the actual ruler of the kingdom, in the eyes of these commoners, the entire kingdom could become as prosperous as Su Mo's territory. Such was the charm of Count of Moshi Territory in the Crescent Moon Kingdom!
"Even the Moon Goddess is giving him extra blessings, damn"
"This might be because of the Moon Queen, right?"
"Probably. People around are saying that, but there might be some hidden information we don't know."
"Wu Fan, didn't you see him in the core area of the Holy See that day? Did you hear any news?"
"No, I'm just a library janitor. How could I have access to core information?"
Meanwhile, among the Protagonists, they also discussed the matter. Many Protagonists were puzzled by the Moon Goddess's extra blessing to Su Mo. They felt that things might not be as straightforward as the surrounding people believed, but they couldn't find other reasons.
"Perhaps it's because of the Crescent Moon Queen's request. The Goddess seems openly to approve Count of Moshi Territory. If nothing goes wrong, Count of Moshi Territory will be the Queen's man for sure," one Protagonist speculated, a mix of envy and sarcasm in their tone.
Being the man of the Crescent Moon Queen, who wouldn't want that? If he became the Queen's man, at this stage, which Villain would dare to challenge him?
On the other side, a few ducal-level Villains also witnessed the scene.
"Myles, I suggest taking advantage of this opportunity and dealing with Count of Moshi Territory as well. Otherwise, he might become a significant threat to us in the future."
"Dealing with the Protagonist is crucial. As for Count of Moshi Territory, we'll see how the situation unfolds."
The Villains had quietly started plotting against Su Mo.
On the high platform, after the Crescent Moon Goddess increased the intensity of her blessing, Su Mo felt the influx of sacred energy into his body growing. Sitting still, he absorbed a portion of this energy.
Simultaneously, he quietly directed another portion into his Succubus bloodline. Soon, Su Mo noticed his Succubus bloodline was voraciously devouring and rapidly analyzing the sacred energy. The sacred energy was swiftly disappearing.
The Succubus bloodline remained deeply concealed, with only a thin thread continuously channeling energy into it.
"I wonder what changes will occur," Su Mo pondered. He had no idea about the next stage of evolution for his Succubus bloodline. Originally not a particularly high bloodline in the Abyss, the Succubus's strength among demons wasn't weak but certainly not the strongest.
However, Su Mo's Succubus bloodline had evolved numerous times, almost reaching a ceiling where further progress seemed impossible. In comparison, attaining Su Mo's current bloodline level would be impossible for any other Succubus.
Su Mo had already forged a path that no Succubus had ever tread. Now, this path was about to undergo new changes. What specific changes would occur remained a mystery even to Su Mo himself.
Watching the Succubus bloodline continue to devour the sacred energy blessed by the Crescent Moon Goddess, Su Mo quietly adjusted the ratio of utilizing the sacred energy. Half for nourishing his body and half entirely given to the Succubus bloodline.
If possible, he would have chosen to channel all the sacred energy into the Succubus bloodline. However, that would be too conspicuous, risking detection by the Crescent Moon Goddess. Caution was necessary; after all, he was stirring things up right under the Crescent Moon Goddess's nose!
On the high platform, time slowly passed as the holy light enveloped Su Mo, continuously delivering an extremely gentle energy. Su Mo unabashedly absorbed this energy. What he was accomplishing was unprecedented.
In the Abyss, no other Demon God had ever managed to make a Heavenly Goddess willingly bestow blessings upon them. A powerful Demon God could actually make a Heavenly Goddess willingly bless him! Any other Demon God, upon returning, would boast endlessly about this achievement!
While absorbing, Su Mo silently analyzed the Crescent Moon Goddess's power. Although the energy from the blessing was thin compared to divine power, through analysis, he could glimpse some of the mysteries of the Crescent Moon Goddess's divine power.
Divine power, one of the core secrets of a God. The divine powers of different Gods were entirely different. For Gods in the Heavenly Realm, having an opposing God completely decipher your divine power's secrets meant you were already halfway defeated before the battle even began.
Su Mo, however, didn't make it too obvious, avoiding detection by the Crescent Moon Goddess. If the Moon New Goddess had personally given the blessing to Su Mo alone, the likelihood of detection would be even greater. Fortunately, there were tens of thousands of people present.
