679: Transfer to manual

Following Qin Yang’s summons.

A sun-like, dazzling orb of light appeared within the imperial palace’s main hall.

In just a moment, a female phantom emerged from the orb, none other than the Radiant Goddess who had descended during Mizutani Ritta’s trial.

“Greetings, Your Majesty.”

Just like before, the Radiant Goddess, whose Divine Authority was light, appeared with a dazzling glow behind her.

Visually, it was like a silhouette.

Even when Qin Yang used True Dragon Qi Observation to discern her appearance, he had a strange feeling that he couldn't quite remember her face.

It was as if the Radiant Goddess’s face was constantly changing.

Qin Yang was curious.

It was the first time he had encountered such a thing.

To put it mildly, under True Dragon Qi Observation, even immortals and gods had nowhere to hide.

Yet, the gods of this Myriad Worlds gave Qin Yang a feeling that he couldn't see through them.

Qin Yang composed himself and asked the Radiant Goddess, “What is your name?”

As an emperor, he couldn’t very well keep calling her “Goddess,” “Goddess,” could he?

The Radiant Goddess shook her head slightly and said, “Your Majesty, I have no name. You may call me Guanghui.”

“No name?”

Qin Yang frowned and asked, “The Goddess of Stars and the Dark Prince both have names, but you don’t?”

The Radiant Goddess nodded and said, “Yes, from the moment of my birth, I have had no name. I have always referred to myself as Guanghui.”

Qin Yang remained silent, simply gazing at the Radiant Goddess.

He vaguely felt that this Radiant Goddess was a bit “familiar.”

Of course, not “familiar” in appearance, but in aura.

Qin Yang always felt that he had encountered this aura somewhere before.

After a moment of contemplation, Qin Yang looked at the Radiant Goddess and asked, “What exactly are you?”

The Radiant Goddess calmly stated, “As you can see, I am a god, and furthermore, I am the first god born in this world.”

“The first god?” Qin Yang was stunned.

“Yes.”

The Radiant Goddess said, “Before my birth, no gods existed here.”

“Then you’re very powerful.”

Qin Yang pouted, always feeling that this Goddess spoke a bit strangely.

She wasn't like Elebella, nor Amir, nor even Bōlǔ Zàn; she showed no emotion whatsoever.

She felt… like an AI?

Qin Yang muttered inwardly, then cut straight to the chase, asking, “As the victor of the War, why did you, behind the backs of the other gods, destroy the spatial barrier that separated the worlds?”

“Because it violated the meaning of the world’s existence,” the Radiant Goddess replied instantly.

“Meaning?” Qin Yang frowned and asked, “What meaning does this world have?”

The Radiant Goddess calmly said, “The Heroic Divine Realm continuously summons heroes here to find the true master of this world, but the gods want to occupy the seats and isolate the 100th floor, which is not allowed.”

“Finding the true master of the world?”

Qin Yang’s eyes lit up.

The Heroic World was the Haotian Pagoda.

And the Haotian Pagoda was a necessary tool for him to become a Human Emperor.

Therefore, he was the master of the Heroic Divine Realm.

According to the Radiant Goddess, the world setting of the Haotian Pagoda was just waiting for him to clear it?

“Tsk, that explanation makes sense!”

Qin Yang speculated inwardly, yet felt a bit annoyed.

After seeing that group of chuunibyō in the kunlun mirror, he knew.

All the “heroes” in this world were Japanese.

So, were you doing this on purpose, or was it an accident?

By summoning like this, could you really find me, the true master?

Thinking of this, Qin Yang said to the Radiant Goddess, “Then you don’t need to summon anymore. I am the master of this world, and you gods must also submit to my imperial authority.”

Qin Yang originally thought that the Radiant Goddess’s expression would change when he said this.

However, the Radiant Goddess merely nodded calmly and said, “It appears you are, indeed.”

Qin Yang was a little curious and asked, “Are you willing to surrender your Divine Authority?”

“My Divine Authority comes from this world,” the Radiant Goddess said calmly.

Hey!

This god is really strange!

Qin Yang said in his heart.

He always felt an indescribable sense of oddity when communicating with the Radiant Goddess.

This fellow answered his questions almost instantly and without any emotion.

This was indeed like an AI!

Qin Yang gazed at the Radiant Goddess and tentatively asked, “Do you have emotions?”

Radiant Goddess: “No.”

Qin Yang asked again, “Can you smile?”

Radiant Goddess: “If you require me to do so, I can.”

Qin Yang: “Switch to a human operator!”

“I’m sorry, I don’t understand what that means,” the Radiant Goddess shook her head and said.

Qin Yang was completely defeated.

He thought, if you don’t have a name, then I’ll give you one.

Xiao Ai, Xiao Du, Siri, Nuomi… Can you pick one?

However, while speechless, Qin Yang also had a vague suspicion.

The Radiant Goddess was the first god born within the Heroic Divine Realm.

That is to say, she was the first wisp of consciousness that arose after the Haotian Pagoda evolved into a world.

Thinking this way… did she and the Haotian Pagoda have a direct connection?

Guanghui… Haotian… Tsk, it’s really possible.

Thinking of this, Qin Yang immediately asked the Radiant Goddess, “Do you know about the Haotian Pagoda?”

This time, the Radiant Goddess did not answer instantly; she just looked at Qin Yang in silence.

Qin Yang took a deep breath, very worried that she would suddenly blurt out—

【Server busy, please try again later.】

However, what Qin Yang feared did not happen.

After a moment of silence, the Radiant Goddess spoke, “I apologize, I do not know about the Haotian Pagoda, but this world does indeed resemble a tower.”

“Just because you don’t know, doesn’t mean there’s no connection.”

Qin Yang thought to himself.

He was now increasingly convinced that his conjecture was correct.

Because he remembered something.

The reason he felt the Radiant Goddess was a bit “familiar” was because he had felt the same aura from Yang Jian.

During the final battle in the Elf World, Yang Jian was empowered by the Heavenly Emperor, and his combat strength surged, giving him a good beating.

Qin Yang now realized that he had a very deep impression of the Heavenly Emperor’s aura.

And the Radiant Goddess before him had that Heavenly Emperor’s aura.

Of course, she was a god born within the Haotian Pagoda, so having the Heavenly Emperor’s aura was plausible.

But… why didn’t the Dark Prince Bōlǔ Zàn, also a god born within the Haotian Pagoda, have it?

Was it just because he didn’t have a proper divine seat?

Clearly not.

Thinking of this, Qin Yang had a plan.

Whether he could successfully reclaim the Haotian Pagoda, this Radiant Goddess was very likely the key!
