A rare magical miracle in the world

"Is this the legendary power?"

Zu Taichu was excited. He was a member of the Martial Faction who loved to challenge strong adversaries, and facing an ultimate warrior like Di Sui, how could his blood not boil with fervor?

"Stop it, Di Sui."

His sister spoke. Although her tone was gentle, the undeniable authority in her words was exceptionally clear.

"Sorry, I got carried away."

Di Sui spread his hands. He was no longer an emperor of the Northern Continent, now just a loser overthrown by Ying Muyao.

"Artian is not a person; it's a word," Isefia explained. "You can think of it as 'wisdom'."

There was a rumor in the Miracle World, ancient as time, that spoke of 'Artian's wisdom' descending upon this world once again and leading a great hero.

Of course, this was just mythology. To many Masters of Miracles, it was no different from some idiot Prophet's prediction.

But everyone present was at the pinnacle of the world, so they knew all too well that Artian was not a myth; it truly existed.

"Hey, woman."

Zu Taichu was visibly upset compared to Di Sui's composure. He looked directly at his sister: "You've been giving orders since just now, by what right? Are you strong? Stronger than all of them?"

"Maybe so, but that seems to have nothing to do with my ability to give orders, does it?"

His sister—no, Isefia—stood up from her throne and approached Zu Taichu: "I stand here simply because I can provide the answers you seek."

"Hmph."

Zu Taichu scoffed: "Then go ahead, tell me what I want to know."

"Since you're all-knowing, you should know what I'm about to ask, right, Queen?" Zu Taichu continued. "Or does Her Majesty, the all-knowing Queen, need me to spell it out for you, then give you some time to think it over?"

"Arrogant brat."

If this were before, Dumu'an would have already made his move.

However, at this moment, Dumu'an was unusually calm because he could feel that his Queen had returned.

"To tell the truth, your question is really quite rare, puzzling even to me."

"How so?"

Isefia placed her fingers at her forehead, showing a vexed yet teasing expression: "I've always thought that those who make it this far are confident adults. At the very least, they should be a bit more mature."

"But what's with you?"

Isefia smiled: "Falling for someone you shouldn't have, little child? How adorable."

"You!!!"

Zu Taichu was immediately enraged, but before he could act, a finger gently landed on his forehead.

In that moment, the formidable Miracle Power dissipated, and all Zu Taichu could sense was a blankness in his mind. By the time he came to his senses, he was already slumped on the ground, not knowing when he had fallen.

"This is..."

Zu Taichu looked up, only to see Isefia looming over him.

There was no condescension, no mockery, just the pure simplicity of an elder watching over a young child: "You mustn't be naughty, or big sister will have to punish you."

"!!!"

Humiliation, such extreme humiliation!

Yet for some reason, Zu Taichu couldn't muster the will to resist, as if Isefia had every right to do so.

In front of this woman, he was like a toddler learning to walk, no different at all.

"Should I erase him, Your Majesty?"

The ever-composed elder spoke up, and Isefia quickly turned around, smiling as she waved her hand: "You're scaring him, old man, he's just a little guy."

"But you'll need to be better behaved next time, alright?"

Isefia leapt across from where Zu Taichu sat slumped, even patting his thick golden hair on the way. "All right, stand up now. I'll answer your questions," she said.

Stand up?

Even at this moment, Zu Taichu felt so weak he could not even manage to stand.

He was, after all, the Master of Superior Miracle!!!

Why was this happening?

"Damn it."

Zu Taichu tried to force himself up time and again, but his legs kept slipping out from under him, making him look ridiculous. Under the scrutiny of the other Seven Crown Emperors, it was almost like a public execution.

"What on earth did you do to me?!"

Zu Taichu roared in frustration, and then he heard the sound of a 'snap'.

The next moment, the Seven Crown Emperors had disappeared, replaced by desolate ruins. It was a village, filled with the charred remains of burnt-out walls.

"This place is!!"

Zu Taichu recognized it, a place he could never forget in his life: "Why do you know about..."

"Wouldn't it be weird if I didn't know?"

Isefia stood by Zu Taichu, gazing at the ruins with him: "Aren't you getting up, or do you need my help?"

"Come on, give me your hand."

Seeing Isefia's actions, Zu Taichu grew furious: 'What does she take me for, a dog?!'

"Damn it all!!!"

Under the surge of intense rage, Zu Taichu finally managed to get up from the ground, and almost reflexively, he raised his fist, ready to retaliate.

But then, Zu Taichu froze because he found that he could not muster any will to kill the woman before him.

"How can this be?"

"What have you done, exactly?"

Zu Taichu had never encountered such an opponent—the power within him had restored, but each time he mobilized it, ready to strike, his subconscious demanded the power to retract.

If his earlier weakness was due to his powers being sealed, then now, it was as though he was sealing his own powers.

"I haven't done a thing, just let you take a look at your own heart," Isefia said lightly, lowering Zu Taichu's raised hand. "You enjoyed it when I was 'training' you just now, didn't you?"

"What are you saying!!"

"Just like the first time you met Ying Muyao," Isefia continued, ignoring Zu Taichu's frenzy. "It was the same feeling, wasn't it? Being rescued by a big sister, becoming a good, obedient child."

"...."

Zu Taichu clenched his fists tightly, but he had to admit, the woman before him truly saw through the most hidden secrets of his heart.

"You really like Ying Muyao, don't you?"

"Shut up."

"But it's not the liking of a man for a woman, it's that of a brother for a sister, a child for a mother."

"Enough!!!"

Zu Taichu was shaking all over, hysterically shouting, "My business is for me to deal with, I don't need you to point fingers!"

"I can't do that," Isefia said. "Because I have to answer your question, after all."

"You are a loyal dog, Zu Taichu."

Isefia spoke, "You are very loyal, grateful, brave enough, and moreover, willing to repay a small favor with your life."
