After listening to Yu Cheng recount the whole story, Jiang Ran finally understood everything. Yuri from the Iron Tower Kingdom had actually hunted them down! Others might not know, but how could Jiang Ran not know Yuri's identity?
This guy is not only one of the six people mentioned by the Pope, but Jiang Ran also learned in Aransta that Yuri is a substitute for a certain god, but he doesn't know which god it is.
Since Aransta didn't give any corresponding hints, either he didn't know either, or he couldn't even reveal this information, since it involved intelligence at the level of a "true god".
The awakening of Yu Cheng's [Miracle] seemed somewhat surprising, but it was actually quite reasonable. Jiang Ran was not surprised by this, but he simply told her not to reveal this secret to anyone other than those who already knew about it.
Did Yuri ultimately die by self-destruction? Was this a way for the gods behind him to sacrifice a pawn to ensure the secret wouldn't be leaked?
"Brother Jiang Ran, I really have to thank you. If you hadn't reminded me through the connection at the crucial moment, I might have been trapped in that illusion and wouldn't have been able to get out!"
“No…” Jiang Ran did not take credit for something that did not exist. “I was gathering information about Luo Wukuang at the time. I don’t know whose voice you heard, but I did not pass any messages to you at that time.”
"ah?"
Whose voice did she hear?
Our clever little program quickly came up with a solution; she used her abilities to create a magic mirror.
"Magic mirror, magic mirror, whose voice was that I heard just now?"
Yu Cheng shook the magic mirror in his arms, and Ye Ye felt that their style seemed a little abnormal.
But the magic mirror only showed a gray mist, and then a red cross was drawn on it!
Unable to detect!
Yu Cheng is no longer a clueless little girl. If even her "miracle" cannot confirm the other party's identity, then the other party must be a being of the "true god" level!
Yuri was also able to inexplicably negate the effects of his Truth Beam, so there must be a "True God" behind him. Therefore, we can deduce that one "True God" ordered Yuri to kill them, while another "True God" saved them!
Yu Cheng felt like he was caught in some kind of dangerous game, and he had a bad feeling about it...
Regardless of who the deity who helped her was, Yu Cheng sincerely thanked Him and hoped that He could help her more.
"Speaking of which—" Ye Ye asked at the opportune moment, "You dare to use your talent like this now, aren't you worried about stamina consumption? No...you haven't consumed any stamina?"
"Hmm... I can't quite explain the specific principle either. You can think of it as my talent leveling up, upgrading into something that isn't a talent anymore, and activating it doesn't require physical strength. I can't really explain the specifics..."
The program successfully confused Ye Ye.
I really like a phrase that Taoist priests say—"Huh?"
"I don't understand, but I was deeply shocked."
"We just left the headquarters of the Demon Apostles. If you have any information about the sixth important character in the story, please let me know. If it is confirmed that no one else is collecting seals, we will probably have to take action as well."
The two sides temporarily ended communication.
Ye Yeren was deep in thought when suddenly a flash of inspiration struck him!
"I've been wondering, since it doesn't use physical strength as a medium for consumption and there's no fixed number of times, could it be that your new ability consumes your mental energy?"
"Mental energy? You mean the kind of spiritual energy you mentioned before that supports your Taoist techniques?"
Yu Cheng asked the magic mirror again, "Magic mirror, magic mirror, did I consume my mental energy when I used [Miracle]?"
The magic mirror gave an affirmative answer.
"So what is my current mental strength?"
"Because there are no specific units, I cannot give an accurate figure, but—it's a little more than him."
The symbol on the magic mirror pointed to Ye Ye.
"What? More than me?!" Ye Ye pointed at himself in disbelief, then looked at Yu Cheng. He had a special talent for improving his mental strength, and after more than a year of training, he had achieved his current level of mental strength!
"Why?!"
The Magic Mirror ignored Ye Ye's question and repeated it again. It seemed that the Magic Mirror could only answer her question: "Although the [Miracle] was not awakened before, it has been nourishing your body all along."
"What about Ye Ye? Does he possess an unawakened [divine miracle] within him?"
"No."
Ye Ye was immediately devastated upon receiving a negative answer.
Yu Cheng could feel his mental energy being rapidly depleted. It seemed that the questions in succession involved some core secrets, so additional mental energy was needed.
She didn't make the magic mirror disappear, but instead held it tightly, trying to comfort Ye Ye: "It's okay, even without this special power, you're still very strong!"
"Forget about this!" Ye Ye adjusted his expression. "Since you have so much spiritual power, why don't you try cultivating some Daoist arts?"
That's right! As long as you have spiritual power, you should be able to cultivate Taoist arts!
"Huh? I think... there seems to be no need for that."
Yu Cheng gave an awkward laugh.
Since Taoist arts also consume mental energy, why not just use [Miracle] to create something that can achieve the same effect?
For example, if Yu Cheng wants to throw a fireball, she can simply create one, and she can set its size and power herself.
"No, this is just an experiment!"
Ye Ye wanted to verify his hypothesis that one could use Dao techniques if one had sufficient mental strength! This theory was proven in his own case!
"Then... shall I give it a try?"
The poor delivery of the words dampened Ye Ye's enthusiasm, so he had no choice but to agree.
"This is the most basic application of fire control. Come, let me explain it to you."
Ye Ye explained a very basic Taoist technique to Yu Cheng.
"Do the hands also need to make corresponding movements?"
"This is an essential guide for beginners. Once you have fully grasped the Daoist principles, you can skip this step."
"Okay... I'll try my best to summon a small flame for you."
The two fiddled around in place for several minutes, but to no avail, which left Ye Ye completely dumbfounded!
"Perhaps... I simply lack the talent?"
"No... I don't think that's the reason. Perhaps I should try more things. Jiang Ran! Yes, Jiang Ran! He must be a special person too! He must also have a massive amount of spiritual power!"
