The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

Chapter 2439: Chapter 2438: The Trial Ends

The woman nodded, "That’s right!"

Ling Feng responded with an "oh" and then asked, "So you must know who I am and why I’ve come here?"

"Correct!"

The Empress of Starlight nodded.

"So, in that case, am I at your mercy?" Ling Feng asked again.

The Empress of Starlight suddenly smiled and said, "If I wanted to deal with you, I would have acted just now."

"Oh."

Ling Feng smiled, "So now we’re here to talk?"

"Yes."

The Empress of Starlight nodded, then said calmly, "Please have a seat."

As soon as she finished speaking, a chair appeared in front of Ling Feng.

Ling Feng didn’t hold back and sat down directly.

Since he’s here, he might as well settle in. Being discovered doesn’t matter; if the other party truly had strong hostility, he would’ve been attacked immediately upon discovery.

Now that there’s a turn for the better, he wants to see what the other party is planning.

After sitting down, Ling Feng didn’t speak, his gaze calmly directed at the Empress of Starlight.

"You truly are outstanding among Earthlings; this composure is something people from the lower three spaces cannot achieve."

The Empress of Starlight smiled and slowly sat down.

Ling Feng felt a little strange and asked her, "What? You actually know I’m from Earth?"

"Of course!"

The Empress of Starlight nodded, "The reason the Chaos Sword appeared above Earth is because of you!"

Hmm?

Ling Feng’s eyes widened in surprise, and he asked, "What do you mean?"

"Simply put, I manipulated the Chaos Sword to cross hundreds of light years to get here. Originally, its trajectory would have taken at least tens of thousands of years to reach your planet!" the Empress of Starlight said.

"Then why do you say it was aimed at me?" Ling Feng asked.

"When you were mining on other planets, the spaceship of the Starlight Empire discovered you. From then on, I began to pay attention to you,"

The Empress of Starlight paused, then continued, "That’s why I manipulated the Chaos Sword to come here with the purpose of subjecting you to trials. From this moment, your trial is truly complete!"

"...."

Ling Feng was dumbfounded.

It turns out all along, he had been under the other’s control.

After the shock, he looked up at the Empress of Starlight, "So you’re saying I’ve been under your surveillance the whole time?"

"You could say that."

The Empress of Starlight nodded and continued, "Though it’s somewhat invasive to your privacy, it’s all meant to test your character."

"Do you know about my involvement with the Dark Domain?" Ling Feng asked.

"Of course!" the Empress of Starlight said.

Ling Feng listened and chuckled bitterly, "Since you know, why are you so amiable toward me? I’ve already allied with them and vowed to destroy your empire."

"Children’s antics; am I supposed to really get angry?"

The Empress of Starlight said.

"Uh...."

Ling Feng was rendered speechless.

This statement was indeed true.

In the face of absolute power, the so-called overthrow and destruction truly seemed like child’s play.

After a moment of silence, Ling Feng raised his head, "What exactly is going on? Are the things the enemy said true? Is the Starlight Empire really oppressing the Dark Domain, have they caused the catastrophe of Lingjian Mountain?"

"Don’t rush; there are answers to all these questions, just need to be unraveled slowly."

The Empress of Starlight smiled and then said, "Now that you’ve just completed the true trial, you’re qualified to receive this."

Just as she finished speaking, an object appeared in front of Ling Feng out of thin air.

It was a black thin piece the size of a fingernail, looking like some kind of chip.

"What is this?" Ling Feng asked.

"Your honor, and the Martial Soul of the Chaos Sword." the Empress of Starlight said.

"Ah?"

Ling Feng was completely stunned.

He then stammered, "Wh-Why are you giving me this?"

"I’ve been looking for someone who can retrieve the Chaos Sword and reunite its pieces. For this purpose, I’ve searched for tens of thousands of years," the Empress of Starlight said.

"Do you think I can do it?"

Ling Feng listened in utter surprise, "But my abilities are very limited."

"Abilities are part of it, but not absolute. The important thing is a person’s nature, which cannot be created," the Empress of Starlight said.

Ling Feng understood that what she valued was his character?

But what’s the use of only having character?

The Chaos Sword is already shattered, and the fragments are scattered without knowing where they’ve drifted. How to retrieve them?

Furthermore, even if found, how to reunite them?

Such a massive task requires unimaginable energy; without capability, who could possibly achieve it?

While he pondered, the Empress of Starlight said, "Don’t worry, once you find the fragments of the Chaos Sword, the Starlight Empire will assist you in repairing it."

"Oh, alright."

Ling Feng thought to himself that at this point, there was no use saying anything else; he might as well accept it and then discuss further.

The chip was carefully put away by him, not placed in the Space Ring or bracelet, but sent into the Jade Token Space.

That way, Tian Lian can help him keep it safe, without worrying about losing it among a pile of other items.

After securing the chip, Ling Feng looked up at the Empress of Starlight, "I still have some questions..."

"I know, let me tell you about the Dark Domain first."

The Empress of Starlight smiled and then continued, "The enemy contacting you was actually arranged by me."

"Hmm?"

Ling Feng was startled, "He’s your man?"

"Strictly speaking, he isn’t, but he can be manipulated and directed by me because I’ve done something to him," the Empress of Starlight said.

"What did you do?" Ling Feng asked.

"I altered his memories."

"Uh..."

Ling Feng was dumbfounded.

Then he quickly asked, "Is that really possible?"

"Of course!"

The Empress of Starlight nodded, "Memories stored in the brain are a form of data storage; they can not only be modified but also rewritten or erased!"

"...."

Upon hearing this, Ling Feng thought it was incredibly terrifying; if memories were erased, wouldn’t someone become another person?

Life, all actions, habits, even one’s personality, are maintained by memory.

Changing memories is equivalent to changing a person!

While he was still in shock, the Empress of Starlight laughed, "Don’t be nervous; the enemy has always held hostility toward our Starlight Empire, and for me to meet you, I had to go through the Dark Domain. Hence, I made some adjustments to his memory, but it didn’t cause him any substantial harm."

"Then, what he said, which parts are true?" Ling Feng asked, looking up.

"Most of it is true; the master of the Dark Domain indeed harbors intentions to overthrow the Starlight Empire. And the enemy was just a pawn in his hand." the Empress of Starlight said.

"And Lingjian Mountain? Is the catastrophe real or not?" Ling Feng asked.
