The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

Chapter 2440: Chapter 2439: Return

"This matter is true, but it wasn’t caused by the Starlight Empire," said the Empress of Starlight.

"Then who was it?" Ling Feng immediately asked.

"It was your Elder."

"Huh?"

Ling Feng shot up and said, "How is that possible?"

"Hard to believe, isn’t it?"

The Empress of Starlight looked at him, smiled, and said, "No matter who it is, it’s hard to believe it’s true."

"Why, why?"

Ling Feng’s breathing was rapid as he asked in a deep voice.

"The reason is simple: once there are too many First Rank disciples, it threatens his existence. So to prevent his status from being replaced by others, whenever the number of First Rank disciples reaches around ten, he immediately restarts Lingjian Mountain," said the Empress of Starlight.

"....."

These words completely overturned Ling Feng’s understanding, leaving him suddenly at a loss.

From Wànrén Dí to the Empress of Starlight, everyone had their own version of events, making Ling Feng feel like a fool.

But deep down, he leaned towards believing what the Empress of Starlight had said.

After all, she was the highest leader of the Starlight Empire and the actual controller of the Chaos Sword.

After a moment of silence, Ling Feng smiled bitterly and looked up, "Have you just been watching all along, never considering intervening in the matters of Lingjian Mountain?"

"Different levels of civilization need not interfere," the Empress of Starlight said calmly.

"Alright."

Ling Feng was speechless and fell silent again.

"I understand you need some time to digest these things, and that’s okay. Since you’re here, you can’t return immediately, as it would arouse suspicion, so stay for a few days,"

said the Empress of Starlight, adding, "Additionally, the control of the Chaos Sword can be handed over to you. Whether it continues to remain on Earth or travels to other star systems, it’s up to you."

"To me?"

Ling Feng, upon hearing this, looked up in astonishment.

"I told you, you passed the trial; it’s your rightful privilege,"

said the Empress of Starlight, adding, "Since your abilities are still somewhat lacking, the Starlight Empire cannot be entrusted to you for the time being, but in the future, it will also be managed by you."

"Ah..."

Ling Feng opened his mouth wide in shock, utterly stunned.

He thought to himself about what merit or ability he had, to be entrusted with such responsibility just because of a trial?

But the Empress of Starlight seemed unconcerned, smiling as she said, "No need to be so surprised. When a civilization develops to its extreme, it’s like human cultivation; it reaches a bottleneck and stagnates."

"By that time, people have lost their desires; their pursuit of power has lost interest."

"The Starlight Empire is currently in such a state; everything is mechanized and procedural, yet it is lifeless and lacks development motivation."

"If you take over, perhaps you can elevate the civilization to a new level."

After the Empress of Starlight said this, Ling Feng took a deep breath, nodded, and said, "I understand."

"Mm, next, I’ll introduce you to our world’s situation, which is a pure technological civilization, a very hardcore one," said the Empress of Starlight.

"Alright, I’d love to see it!" Ling Feng said.

The Empress of Starlight smiled, and without any visible movement, the hall in front of them suddenly vanished, and the two of them appeared aboard a spaceship.

"I’ll first introduce you to the ten main stars of the Starlight Empire."

As she spoke, the spaceship swiftly entered a Void Space.

Clearly, this spaceship was also using a curvature engine.

Ling Feng suddenly had a question, so he asked, "By the way, is the space inside the Chaos Sword this big?"

"No, this is no longer the Chaos Sword; it’s a Parallel Universe," said the Empress of Starlight.

"Uh..."

Ling Feng’s worldview was once again refreshed.

"You already have the ability to open up a Parallel Universe?" he hurriedly asked.

To his surprise, the Empress of Starlight shook her head and said, "No, discovering this Parallel Universe was coincidental; it wasn’t created by me."

"I see?"

Ling Feng, upon hearing this, was still very moved and said, "No wonder you can expand your territory so much!"

"It’s not very large, only spanning a range of one light year. Compared to the entire universe, it’s less than the size of an atom..."

The Empress of Starlight said calmly.

In the time that followed, Ling Feng traveled with her to several planets, gaining a comprehensive understanding of the Starlight Empire and gaining insight into the civilization’s level of development.

Compared to the mechanized nature of their mother planet, some other planets were fairly normal. As residential planets, their ecology was quite good, reminiscent of Shallow Blue Star.

The only difference was the comprehensive technological means, which covered all aspects; it was pervasive.

Ling Feng truly gained insights, feeling almost as if he didn’t want to leave while sightseeing all the way!

...

...

Five days had passed.

Starlight Empire, mother planet.

After Ling Feng requested to leave, the Empress of Starlight said, "When you return this time, you’ll face two targets; you’re aware, right?"

"I am."

Ling Feng nodded, "One is the Elder of Lingjian Mountain, and the other is the ruler of the Dark Domain."

"You don’t necessarily have to deal with these two for now; focus on enhancing your strength first,"

said the Empress of Starlight, adding, "Your situation is quite special; you have both the achievements of a technological civilization and a cultivation civilization, but neither power is very strong, and I can’t offer any good methods to help you, so we’ll just do what we can!"

As she spoke, she extended her hand, revealing a multi-faceted crystal with shining light.

"What’s this?" Ling Feng asked.

"Summoning Crystal; with it, you can instantly summon the Starlight Empire’s Assault Fleet, with a time difference of no more than a minute," said the Empress of Starlight.

"That’s a treasure."

Ling Feng’s eyes immediately lit up.

"But don’t use it unless it’s a matter of life and death. The crystal’s energy is limited and can be used only three times. Once the energy is depleted, it can’t be used further," said the Empress of Starlight.

Ling Feng nodded, "Alright, that’s more than enough!"

"Good, I’ll send you back now. As for Wànrén Dí over there, I haven’t altered his memory yet; he’s still the Dark Overlord’s subordinate. You can just brush him off when you get back," said the Empress of Starlight.

"Alright, I know what to do."

Ling Feng nodded, then took out the item given by Wànrén Dí that could return him to the Dark Domain.

A moment later, his body emitted a light, then vanished under the gaze of the Empress of Starlight!

In the blink of an eye, Ling Feng found himself back on the platform in the Dark Domain, where Wànrén Dí was watching him intently.
