Chapter 57
"The Goddess is probably going to appoint him as the Holy Son, right?" Outside the core area of the temple, the Crescent Moon Queen stood there, unsure whether to be happy or disappointed. However, she quickly cheered up.
"Even if the Goddess chooses him as the Holy Son, I won't choose any other man!" The Crescent Moon Queen secretly decided.
In the World of the Gods, a king without heirs was indeed a big problem. However, there were occasional exceptions. That is when a king himself also possessed powerful abilities and could live for a very long time. Generally, such situations were rare because there was a contradiction between being a king and possessing strong abilities.
Kings had too many responsibilities, lived in luxury, and rarely had time to study magic or martial arts. Besides, their magic talents were not necessarily good. If a king was interested in practicing magic or martial arts, he might lose interest in secular power.
The Crescent Moon Queen was actually pushed into this position. She had never wanted to be a Queen. The Crescent Moon Queen had excellent magic talents and a high affinity for elements. She was a genius at the Magic Academy before she became a Holy Maiden for the Crescent Moon Goddess due to her high purity of soul.
Now, seeing that the Crescent Moon Goddess was clearly considering appointing Su Mo as the Holy Son, the Crescent Moon Queen was also preparing to take a different path. With Su Mo, she could never be interested in any other man. So, she had to elevate her own strength to become a Queen with great power.
In that case, no one would say anything! She also wanted to live longer, to wait for the day when Su Mo would no longer be the Holy Son. As the Crescent Moon Queen made her decision, her eyes gradually showed a firm expression.
When the Crescent Moon Queen secretly made her decision, the Crescent Moon Goddess had tried to speak several times. However, every time she approached, she felt that her attitude was not quite right, and she couldn't say anything. It was like being affected by a silence spell.
The longer the silence, the harder it was to break. After several attempts, the Crescent Moon Goddess became more and more uneasy. Finally, she heard Su Mo's voice.
"Did the Goddess summon me for some instructions?" Hearing Su Mo finally speak, the Crescent Moon Goddess, in her heart, let out a big sigh of relief.
The Crescent Moon Goddess looked at Su Mo with her bright eyes, deciding to be more straightforward. As a Goddess, her way of communication had always been simple.
"Dorothy is about to step down from the position of Holy Maiden. Originally, I was going to appoint a new Holy Maiden, but after seeing you, I changed my mind. Would you… like to be my Holy Son?" The Crescent Moon Goddess looked at Su Mo, her voice slightly cold but also soft.
She didn't notice that after a long period of silence, her way of speaking to Su Mo was different from how she spoke to anyone else in the World of the Gods before. If it were before, every time a new Holy Maiden was appointed, she only needed to show a little intention, and the new Holy Maiden would be excited beyond measure. She didn't need to speak personally; transmitting a divine oracle was enough.

With Su Mo… for the first time, she personally spoke so many words to a human. After finishing her words, the Crescent Moon Goddess's eyes, brighter than moonlight, looked at Su Mo. She was waiting for Su Mo's answer.
Finally, Su Mo's gaze lifted, meeting hers. When she saw Su Mo's eyes, the Crescent Moon Goddess's gaze was also attracted for a moment. Su Mo's eyes were a bit too beautiful. In Su Mo's eyes, a Goddess from the Heavenly Realm like her seemed to see an endless starry sky, like the reaction of the little angels under her command when they saw Su Mo's eyes before.
The more powerful, the more defenseless one becomes. When facing Su Mo's gaze directly, it becomes easier to be influenced. This influence isn't because Su Mo activated some skill. In a face-to-face situation, if he were to activate a skill, it would be impossible to conceal it from the Crescent Moon Goddess.
This charm comes from the transformation brought by the Succubus Eyes on the eyes, a result of Su Mo's Succubus bloodline. Similarly, Su Mo's understanding of the world, from his life level to the God Level, is also inherent in his eyes.
Eyes are the windows to the soul! Human cognition, for Gods, is too shallow, easily seen through at a glance. But Su Mo himself is also a God, a transmigrator with a super-high Succubus bloodline. His understanding of the world is far beyond the Crescent Moon Goddess.
When one is defenseless, curious about Su Mo, and looks at him more, the more they look, the more attractive he seems. The current Crescent Moon Goddess was evidently defenseless. So, she unconsciously looked at Su Mo for a few more seconds. However, she is, after all, a Goddess, and soon realized her loss of composure. She averted her gaze. At this moment, she became aware that her heartbeat has inexplicably accelerated. The Crescent Moon Goddess remained calm on her face, and she spoke again, "You will be my first Holy Son, and also the most outstanding one. I can give you more rights, and even, ten years later, I allow you to marry Dorothy!"
Marry Dorothy! Dorothy is the Crescent Moon Queen. Holy Sons and Holy Maidens could not marry each other, and they could not even touch someone of the opposite sex. This had already become a consensus in the World of the Gods. But then, to make Su Mo her Holy Son, the Crescent Moon Goddess had made an exception for Su Mo.
Of course, with one condition: ten years later. This condition, for the Crescent Moon Goddess, had undoubtedly been a significant sacrifice. The Crescent Moon Goddess probably already understood the Crescent Moon Queen's intentions. The Crescent Moon Queen could not hide her thoughts in front of her. Otherwise, she wouldn't have mentioned the Crescent Moon Queen so early.
Faced with the Crescent Moon Goddess's conditions, Su Mo neither agreed nor disagreed. He casually said, "Why?"
The Crescent Moon Goddess felt a bit tired. Appointing a Holy Son for her was actually a simple matter. Why did the Goddess have to make him her Holy Son? In the past, she only needed to hint a little, and countless devout believers would compete to become her Holy Son without any explanation.
She didn't need to speak personally; just transmitting a divine oracle was enough. This was the first time… She had to negotiate conditions with someone.
