Roland's words hit his soft spot.

He had indeed caught a glimpse of the traces left by the gods in the human world.

He was confused, lost, and frightened, and he finally chose to remain silent.

Roland tore the silence apart and forcibly pulled out the ostrich whose head was stuck in the sand.

"Brother Ruiter, I will only say this to you, and I won't even tell it to other core brothers."

"Do you know why the gods don't return to the human world in person, but only send down oracles, bestow divine grace, and tempt mortals to believe in them?"

Ruyt wanted to stop Roland's bold words, but he couldn't say a word.

"Brother Ruiter, are you willing?"

Ruyt closed his eyes, his fingertips trembling slightly.

He was indeed unwilling to accept this.

Great gods rose from the mortal world, but they did not want those who came after them to follow their path.

They were lucky enough to board the vehicle heading to the Endless Sea of ​​Stars, but now it was about to close.

He was silent for a long time, and then said quietly: "It doesn't matter if we are unwilling. Can we disobey the gods?"

"We are now protected by the plane wall, but the plane wall will disappear sooner or later. The moment the protective wall disappears, the gods will return to the world and purify all unclean people."

"Brother Roland, you are in real danger now. What you are doing is madly testing the limits of the goddess's tolerance."

"If you insist on crowning yourself, the wrath of the goddess will fall upon you at the time of oblivion."

Ruiter looked a little anxious and shook his head vigorously.

"Roland, you are capable and qualified to be redeemed. As long as you remain at least superficially submissive, you can survive the Great Annihilation and live into a new era."

"You will definitely become a demigod. Then you will be the goddess' servant and will be able to bathe in the goddess' glory forever in the ten billion years of the new era."

"That's 10 billion years."

Roland looked at the sky with a smile, his tone containing a hint of disdain.

"Live on your knees for 10 billion years?"

Ruyte was a little anxious. He persuaded earnestly: "The goddesses are not as mean as you think. They are strong and tolerant. You can live freely, not on your knees!"

Roland shook his head slowly, his eyes firm.

"Brother, the freedom given by others can be taken back at any time. This is not freedom."

“True freedom must be in one’s own hands, not given by others.”

"What kind of freedom is it if you don't even have the right to choose to say no?"

"If it's this kind of freedom, I would rather choose a free death."

Ruyt was stunned by Roland's words.

He stared into Roland's eyes, not seeing any hesitation or retreat.

He had more to say, but he knew he didn't need to.

Roland's eyes were clear and determined.

After an unknown amount of time, he patted Roland's shoulder vigorously and said with a smile: "Brother Roland, I can't be as fearless as you, but I will fully support you."

"Hope you can make it."

Roland breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Ruyt supported him, the three major religions would not be a monolithic entity, and his proposal would be passed.

He punched Ruyte with his backhand, and said teasingly with a smile: "Brother Ruyte, I am indirectly helping you by doing this. With someone like me, you will be more pious in the eyes of the goddess."

The two looked at each other and laughed out loud at the same time.

Roland spoke his true feelings in a joking tone.

People always like to compromise, and God is no exception.

If it weren't for Roland, Ruyt and the others would probably have been considered impious by the goddess.

But with Roland as a negative example, Ruit and the others are just good kids in the eyes of the goddess.

There is no harm without comparison.

Roland looked up at the sky. It was as clear as water and there was no end in sight.

But he knew very well that there was an invisible barrier in the sky protecting the material plane.

The barriers are broken, the gods have descended, and it’s time for the final showdown.

He must find a way to break the impasse before the barrier is breached.

He would not be a slave for billions of years.

Volume 181: The City of Freedom: Chapter : Virgos must be virgins?

"Breaking news! The human hero who fought against the goblins was crowned king in Hamburg!"

"Roland crowned himself during the coronation ceremony and claimed that no one had the right to crown him!"

"A dirty behind-the-scenes deal. Roland reached a territory exchange agreement with the Lisenburg Empire!"

......

Just a few months ago, Camille, a little-known female reporter from the Tiamat News Agency, caused a sensation with her exclusive report on the battle to defend the World Tree, and she herself gained huge fame.

Various news media finally realized that wherever Roland is, there is a hot spot.

As a media person, if you can't even grasp the hot spots, you are not far from being optimized.

When they heard that Roland was leading a large army to fight against the traitors, the reporters rushed over like sharks smelling blood.

Many media outlets, including Tiamat News Agency, Tiamat Press, Gaia News Agency, and Gondwana United News, seized this rare news opportunity and reported it extensively.

Unlike Camille, their reporting style focuses on clickbait and shocking headlines.

Camille gained too much from the last exclusive report, and many people in the news agency were jealous.

Since her achievements could not be erased, these jealous colleagues resorted to another method.

It rises brightly and falls darkly.

For someone as talented as Miss Camille, being a field reporter is a waste of her talent and she must be promoted.

So Camille got a promotion and a salary increase within the news agency, but he did not reach the peak of his life.

She was stripped of her rights to on-site interviews and reporting and was transferred to a senior position in the logistics department.

The person who came to report this time was her colleague.

They were dismissive of Camille's pragmatic style of journalism.

In their opinion, Camille is still too conservative.

How can such a big thing as protecting the world tree be just a simple statement of facts?

Since Roland is a hero of the human race, he must have been born by the hand of fate.

To such a person, the white snakes he teased when he was a child would turn into giant dragons, and the birds he passed by would turn into magic eagles.

How could a human hero be ordinary when he was a child?

What? The human hero was really mediocre when he was a child? That's because you can't make up stories!

Driven by this guiding ideology, Roland's ascension to the throne was portrayed as if the great emperor of the human race had come to the world.

In particular, his action of taking the crown from the three religious leaders and putting it on himself was exaggerated infinitely.

In order to attract attention, many unscrupulous media outlets described this originally normal behavior as a pledge to embark on the path to becoming a god.

As for whether this kind of report would make Roland the target of the gods, they didn't care.

Roland is a recent hot topic, but only in the near future.

In their view, Roland would remain quiet for a while after his coronation, gradually accumulating strength and eliminating the complicated factional and racial conflicts in the country.

If these relationships are not handled properly, it will be difficult to expand the territory and maintain the rule of the kingdom.

The so-called Kingdom of Gracia was not gradually established by the ancestors of the Kingdom of Gracia, but was entirely built on Roland's personal prestige.

The advantage of a country built on personal prestige is that it has very strong cohesion, but the disadvantage is that such strong cohesion relies on Roland.

If anything happens to Roland, the Kingdom of Gracia will quickly collapse.

These big reporters have visited many countries and ethnic groups, and chatted and laughed with many heads of state. What big scenes have they not seen?

They understand politics very well.

It would be good enough if Roland could maintain the existing territory. Blind expansion would only lead to the new country falling apart.

Perhaps His Majesty Roland will be able to build a huge new empire in the future, but not now.

They decided to catch the tail of the popularity of "traffic superstar" Roland and finally attract some attention.

In their view, readers tend to get bored with the old and love the new. Once there is a new hot topic, how many people will remember that there was once a human hero named Roland?

Their only concern was Roland's protest against their exaggerated reports.

But Roland did not protest.

He even welcomed it.

Before the plane wall was broken, Roland didn't need to care about the so-called gods at all.

He wanted to gather all the results of more than 250 reincarnations before the wall of the plane was damaged and become a god in one fell swoop.

In the face of this grand goal, slightly exaggerated news reports are nothing at all, and may even add to the legendary color of this human hero.

Ordinary people like to read heroic stories, and news agencies like to write about them, but he just doesn't bother to care.

Every day he looked forward to seeing a person and a piece of news.

Finally, when a messenger breathlessly brought Feng Ling's urgent secret letter, Roland finally showed a long-lost smile on his face.

When she opened the envelope, Feng Ling's joy was evident on the paper.

"It's done!"

This simple sentence instantly made Roland feel relieved.

He had previously entrusted Feng Ling to help him prepare for marrying his new princess in advance.

Thinking of his beloved wife Melanie, Roland felt a little complicated.

Melanice was the first girl in this world who made his heart beat faster. His feelings for her were simple, just pure love.

Janice was different. She and Roland started out as enemies, but gradually got to know each other. They faced countless battles and events together, and their originally distant hearts grew closer and closer.

The atmosphere had already become so heated that it would be impolite not to express his feelings. Roland certainly would not back down.

He chose to face his true inner desires.

He had a clear conscience when facing Janice, but he didn't know how to face Melanie.

Melanie once offered to choose a concubine for him, but Roland declined.

He knew that Melanice didn't mind Roland finding a few pretty girls to fill out his harem and serve as reproductive tools, but could she accept someone like Janice, who threatened her position, joining?

Roland wasn't sure.

Maybe Melanie would accept it, but he really didn't want Melanie to feel aggrieved, and he didn't want them to fight with each other and cause chaos.

Fortunately, Feng Ling was there, and Roland was very confident in her handling of the matter.

This prime minister, who was once somewhat mediocre in his eyes but is now almost omnipotent, helped him solve the problem.

The price is to add two more elven girls.

Obviously, this is a compromise.

Melanice accepted Roland's new harem, but wanted two more elf sisters to maintain the numerical advantage of the elves in the harem.

Since individual fertility is insufficient, we make up for it with the advantage of numbers.

Melanice is both the queen and the leader of the Gracia elves, and she must consider the tribe.

Roland fully accepted the compromise terms.
