A rare magical miracle in the world

"Crack!"

Invisible doors appeared with cracks that kept spreading, and ultimately, with a thunderous roar, they crumbled away.

"Has he broken through?!"

The Seven Crown Emperors watched in amazement as Zu Taichu's demeanor had drastically changed; they only saw Isefia touch her finger to his brow.

But in the next moment, Zu Taichu had broken through, inexplicably breaking through!

"Yes, just like that."

Isefia stood with her hands clasped behind her and gracefully stepped back. She smiled and said, "You've grown into a fine young man, little fellow."

Previously, Zu Taichu merely borrowed a Superior Miracle's power, but now, he had personally shattered Diyi Yin's set barrier, dragged out the essence of that miracle, and bitten down on its neck.

"Now, can you tell me your true thoughts?"

Without the influence of Diyi Yin, Isefia asked Zu Taichu what his true feelings for Ying Muyao were.

Did he like her, want to possess her?

"No."

Zu Taichu had always been perplexed; did he truly like the Empress of the East?

Because of the presence of Diyi Yin, he couldn't directly confront his own feelings, but now, with Diyi Yin's influence gone, Zu Taichu could finally answer this question with assurance—he had only familial affection for Ying Muyao, not romantic love.

Isefia was right; it was Diyi Yin that wanted to possess the Empress of the East.

And Zu Taichu had almost become its accomplice.

If such a thing had truly occurred, no matter the outcome, Zu Taichu feared he would never be able to forgive himself.

But now, Zu Taichu had successfully controlled Diyi Yin's power.

The First Cause of the Atlas of All Beings

This Upper Tier Miracle represents all creatures in the world, and Zu Taichu stood as the strongest within this Life Hierarchy—the Strongest Being.

"I am in your debt beyond measure."

Zu Taichu knelt on one knee and gave a respectful bow to Isefia, "You are indeed The Great Philosopher."

With just a few words, she had resolved the insoluble question that had puzzled Zu Taichu for thousands of years. This ability, to many, might not warrant the title of The Great Philosopher.

But in Zu Taichu's eyes, Isefia was The Great Philosopher, and he firmly believed this.

"Alright, one down."

Isefia had Zu Taichu stand up; everything she had done before was to help him understand his true self, and now, Zu Taichu hadn't disappointed Isefia, successfully advancing to the Fifth Awakening.

Master of the Superior Miracle of the Fifth Awakening, he could now be considered peak-level combat strength.

If previously Di Sui could easily defeat Zu Taichu, now, even he would have to exert some effort, possibly, to defeat this man.

"My time is not abundant," Isefia looked at those present. "Who's next?"

After an unknown span, the elder sister only felt the omnipotent sensation gradually fading. She hadn't forgotten what the Queen had done; she remembered it all.

Looking up, the Seven Crown Emperors were respectfully bowing to her, while of all those present, only the standing elder remained unfazed.

He had no issues.

The elder sister had specifically asked the old man while borrowing the Queen's power and wisdom, but he had no doubts.

'The old one's problem is resolved,' the elder had stated, 'now, the old one is considering how to repay your kindness, young mistress.'

'Help me three times.'

This was what the elder sister had asked him to do while she was in the Queen state, and the purpose...

The elder sister heaved a silent sigh; she realized that the side effects of being in the Queen state were significant because in that state, she wasn't wholeheartedly doing it for Bailuo.

Just like the agreement with the elder, Isefia's purpose wasn't anyone else—it was Bailuo.

She had instructed the elder that, if she were ever controlled by Bailuo, then he would need to rescue her from Bailuo's clutches.

This wasn't to say that the Queen's strength was inferior to the elder's; in terms of combat ability, of course, the elder was no match for the Queen, but Bailuo was indeed the Queen and elder sister's bane.

Even if Bailuo were mere a mortal, once he got close to Isefia, she would still have to obediently put out "GG".

'What on earth am I doing? How could I issue such an order?'

The senior sister had a headache, as she found out that even though the will of the Queen had departed, her wisdom still carried a special power that subtly influenced the senior sister's own judgment.

"Let's cancel the request I just made."

Nevertheless, the senior sister was still herself, and even if her orders changed from morning to evening, she was determined to disrupt the Queen's plans.

"Hmm?"

The elder was slightly taken aback, somewhat puzzled, "Is my assistance no longer needed?"

"No, it is not!"

"......"

Truth be told, the elder was also curious as to what exactly was troubling the senior sister.

The previous Queen and the current senior sister, the elder was not blind, they were clearly two different people: "May I ask why?"

Why?

The senior sister also wanted to know why, why her past life was that of such a bad woman, and moreover, it became a huge obstacle for her to stay together with Bailuo in this lifetime.

"Because of Artian."

The senior sister casually found a reason, since the Seven Crown Emperors were so wary of Artian's intelligence, she naturally directed their attention there.

She added that Artian was a universal solution, and in the future, if the senior sister couldn't answer a question, she just needed to tell the buyers, "Because of Artian," and she felt they would always immediately conjure up a "naturally so".

"I see."

Sure enough, the elder had an epiphany, and the Seven Crown Emperors also showed an 'as expected' expression.

'I was just spouting nonsense.'

'Are the imaginations of the people in this marketplace all this strong?'

Thinking this, the senior sister shared her experiences in the marketplace in full detail with Bailuo.

"Seven Crown Emperors..."

Having finished reading the intelligence sent by the senior sister, Bailuo from the Yatun Duchy truly had not expected that the marketplace possessed such terrifying strength.

The Eastern Conquest Emperor, Emperor Candidate, Supreme Emperor of the North, and even Zu Taichu, they were all members of the marketplace.

"What a terrifying organization."

Bailuo felt a chill, he turned to his uncle who was reading the records next to him and asked, "Uncle, what do you think we should do?"

"Watch and wait."

His uncle was very calm, he wasn't smoking, which meant that the intelligence provided by the senior sister was not enough to make him feel troubled: "Besides, isn't this a good thing?"

"A good thing?"

With a different perspective from Bailuo's, his uncle saw a huge advantage.

"Think back to the conversation between the Queen and Zu Taichu."

"Err..."

Bailuo truly found Zu Taichu inexplicable; at first, he thought the other party was a pursuer of Ying Muyao, but after reading the intelligence, he realized that this guy was just purely a sycophant to the bone.

This made Bailuo unsure of how to deal with him.

If Zu Taichu coveted Ying Muyao, Bailuo could simply kill him.

But this man...

He was different.

Zu Taichu did not pester Ying Muyao to death, he was not the kind of fool who, under the pretext of 'loving her', selfishly committed acts that troubled the goddess.

This guy was more like a knight; as long as the Female Emperor had no trouble, he would never appear before her and would not interfere with or hinder her life.

But when the Female Emperor was in need, he would stand up immediately and fight for her.
