Chapter 58: The Phantom World
Que Wan'er and Xiao Yao both looked at Ling Ye, their faces full of surprise and disbelief.
Midnight ...... Not a human being?
The saint looked at Ling Ye with great attention: "Child, you seem to feel very sorry and sad?"
Ling Ye was silent for a moment and replied, "Yes." I'm even a little skeptical, are you telling the truth? Am I really not a human being?"
The holy woman sighed slightly and said, "Your suspicion is taken for granted, after all, you grew up in the world since you were a child, and you don't feel that you are any different from others. However, have you ever wondered why your cultivation of the Xuantian Tribulation Fire Skill can be both positive and reversed? Positive transformation into fire and reversal into ice. These two completely different kinds of Xuan Gong can perfectly blend and coexist in you. Don't you think that's very unconscionable?"
Midnight: "......"
The saint looked at him for a moment and said, "I have a way to prove it to you." As he spoke, he slowly stretched out his right hand again, and the bowl-sized white flower in his hand slowly stretched out and turned into a white spear. The spear slowly flew from her hand until it reached Ling Ye's face, slowly falling to the ground.
The saint whispered, "You can all four try it." This is a weapon created with aetheric matter, and only 'people' who are also composed of aetheric matter can hold it, not humans. β
Que Wan'er smiled: "Holy Maiden, I want to try!"
The saint nodded. Que Wan'er took two steps, held the spear with both hands and lifted it up, but the spear did not move at all.
Ling Ye could see it clearly, and his heart was bright. Even if this spear weighs a thousand catties, if Que Wan'er reaches for it, she should always be able to move. If you don't move at all, that's really only one possibilityβit's not something that can be viewed with common sense.
Zhao Yue and Xiao Yao also tried, but they didn't move. Ling Ye only needed to stretch out his hand, and he easily picked it up.
Not only is this spear not heavy, but it also fits very well, and the weight and length are all very close, as if it was tailor-made for Midnight. The whole spear looks like it is neither gold nor iron, crystal and round, and Ling Ye understands that this is indeed not all the gold and iron in the world.
The holy woman said softly: "This spear has a name, called the illusory world, only you and I can hold it, and it will belong to you from now on." Now, do you still believe it?"
Ling Ye had already believed seven or eight points in his heart, so he nodded and said, "Yes." But, no matter what, he raised me for so many years and taught me so many things. I went down because he suddenly disappeared and couldn't be found anywhere, and I wanted to find him. Right now...... I was sad to know the news of him, but to find out that he was not only not my father, but also passed away. β
The saint listened quietly and sighed slightly: "Human emotions ...... You have normal human emotions, I understand. β
Seeing that Ling Ye's eyes were a little confused, she explained: "I said it, you were created by me with divine power with etheric matter, strictly speaking, you are not actually human, and you would not have normal human emotions, especially if you hadn't been taken away from the Holy Capital in the first place. If you grew up here, you only have the divinity that Aether has bestowed upon you, and you will not have humanity. β
Ling Ye was silent for a while, and said: "I don't know what pure divinity looks like, but I think that human nature is very good now, with joy, anger, sorrow and happiness. I think that's what life should be. β
The Holy Maiden stared at him and sighed softly: "In this regard, maybe I should still envy you! I always knew where you were, but I never sent anyone to bring you back, just to let you experience life in the world for yourself." β
Midnight was silent.
The saint said, "It's good that you come back now, or I'll send someone to fetch you back." I've been a saint for too long, I'm tired...... The future of the Holy Capital will be handed over to you in the future!"
Ling Ye was shocked: "Can't I, right?
The saint said softly: "If you can't now, it doesn't mean you can't in the future." Do you think I created you purely for fun? Not only that, but also with the intention of letting you inherit my position and lead the people of the Holy Capital. I'm really tired......"
Midnight: "......"
The holy woman clapped her hands, and four people came out from behind the Shenyue Temple. These four people looked very young, wearing different colors of clothing, divided into red, blue, gold and yellow, with delicate and cold faces, and there was a hidden command.
Ling Ye recognized one of them at a glance and exclaimed in surprise, "Instructor Duan?"
Among the four, the woman in yellow clothes was not the sword instructor Duan Yanran who she met at the beginning?
Duan Yanran smiled and bowed to Ling Ye: "Gale General Feng Honglei, see the Holy Prince!"
Midnight: "......"
The holy woman said softly: "I am very concerned about the establishment of the Wolf Guard in the Empire. Honglei volunteered to spy on the information and broke into the other party's interior. Coincidentally, you went there later, and she happened to take care of you by the way. β
Midnight: "......"
No wonder she was so kind to teach herself the Divine Shadow Trick in the first place...... There is no such thing in this world for no reason!
The other three saluted one by one and reported to themselves that they were the four generals of the Holy Capital, Chiyan, Bingluo, Gale Wind, and Thunder Light.
The saint said: "Ling Ye, if you don't plan to change your name, just call it like this." For us, a name is just a title, and it doesn't matter what we call it, as long as it's not a slurious name. The four generals will be your subordinates in the future, assisting you in defending and governing the Holy Capital. And your skill...... Follow me to learn more during this time. Your skills are not enough to defend the Holy Capital now, and if something happens, you won't be able to deal with it. β
Midnight answered yes. The saint seemed a little tired, and waved her hand lightly: "Let's do this today." Honglei, lead them to arrange a place to stay! β
Feng Honglei bowed in agreement. The saint waved her hand, got up and slowly walked into the apse under the gaze of everyone.

"Do you think that the Holy Maiden seems to be really tired?"
After arranging the accommodation, Que Wan'er came over to chat with Ling Ye, and the first sentence went straight to the point.
Ling Ye snorted, was silent for a while, and said, "She didn't say it, and I don't know why." Perhaps, as she herself said, she has been a saint for too long and is very tired. β
Que Wan'er said: "I don't dare to guess, but I always faintly feel that perhaps, the saint also has ...... Lifespan, now may be ......"
Ling Ye sighed and changed the subject: "I have something to remind you...... As the Holy Maiden said, I am not a human being, a non-human created with the ether. If you get close to me, you won't be able to withstand the damage of the ether. My dad ...... It's almost like that, he always says that he has a sore back, a headache and brain fever, and he can't be cured!"
Que Wan'er showed a strange look in her eyes, and said slowly: "Yes, it's really an unhappy thing!"
