Chapter 59
Nyx couldn’t believe it, nor could she be sure.
The Divine Tree, however, rustled its leaves and confirmed her guess. “Yes, you are my child.
“You are the perfect female Beastman I created with my own hands.”
She was the first life the Divine Tree created in solitude, modeled after the appearance of its believers.
Not being able to raise this life personally was the Divine Tree’s regret.
“You fell into the Temporal Vortex and traveled far away.
“But I know you’re still alive.
“I searched for a long, long time. I finally found you.”
The soft branches tightly embraced Nyx, as if holding a long–lost treasure.
Nyx stood frozen in place.

She was greatly shocked, unable to digest the information immediately.
Having lived as an ordinary human on Earth for twenty years, despite the cold reception and exploitation she faced at home, she had never imagined that she wasn’t biologically related.
She wasn’t even human.
Given this, her awakening of mental powers didn’t seem so strange anymore.

Outside the Holy Ground, Felix, Theon, and Zayne had waited from dawn until dusk, growing more and more anxious.
One hour, two hours… six hours passed, and the other females had successfully awakened and been teleported out, but Nyx had still not appeared.
‘Was there an issue with her awakening?‘ The three of them tried several times to apply for entry into the Holy Ground to search for Nyx, but each time, their requests were rejected, and they could no longer hold back.
“Move aside!” Theon, enraged, rushed to the front and broke past the guards.
He was willing to pay the price, even go
to prison, but he had to see Nyx now.
“Theon!” A clear call made him freeze in his tracks.
Everyone, including the guard soldiers, turned to look at the teleportation device.
The small female figure stood gracefully there.
The moment they saw Nyx, the soldiers‘ minds went “buzz-” as if short–circuiting.

Thoughts of submission and protection surged uncontrollably from the depths of their hearts.

Several young soldiers walked toward Nyx in a daze, some bowing their heads, others kneeling on one knee, all reverent and servile, eagerly trying to please her.
“How do you feel?”
“Please have some nutrient solution.”
“Is there anything I can do for you?”
“Please feel free to give me any orders!”
“I am at your service.”
“Me too-”
Even though she had always felt the high status and popularity of females after her journey through worlds, Nyx had never seen such a scene.
The strange males appeared utterly captivated by her, orbiting her and exalting her.
The other females who had come out of the Holy Ground didn’t receive such treatment.
Felix frowned and coughed twice, casting a warning glance at the audacious group.
Felix’s overwhelming presence was too powerful; the soldiers felt the pressure of the top of the food chain, and their backs chilled as they snapped back to their senses.
“Sorry, I- I didn’t mean to-”
“Please forgive my rudeness!”
“I’m so sorry! So sorry!”
After regaining their composure, they realized they must have lost their minds to have been so eager to please Felix’s female.
This was not only a provocation against the Marshal but an offense against the female.
The soldiers were sweating, terrified of displeasing Nyx.
“It’s okay; you can go back to work,” Nyx said without reproach.
She spoke lightly, but the soldiers froze, their bodies instinctively straightening as if receiving the highest military command.
Nyx found them strange, but before she could think further, she was suddenly engulfed in heat as Theon embraced her. The tall, powerfully muscled male wrapped his arms around her completely enveloping the petite Nyx.
Nyx instinctively pushed against Theon’s chest, but the firm touch made her fingers contract, awkwardly pulling her hand back.

“Nyx, Nyx,” Theon’s breath was ragged, revealing an unprecedented vulnerability, “I was so scared.”

Every minute waiting outside the Holy Ground had been agonizing. The thought of Nyx being in danger made his heart almost stop beating.
Nyx, who had originally resisted, suddenly froze.
She forgot that she had stayed by the Divine Tree for too long.
After finally reuniting with the lost child, the branches tightly wrapped around her, unwilling to let her go. Only after she repeatedly promised to visit the Holy Ground to see the Divine Tree often was she released.
It seemed that this poor lion was really scared.
Nyx saw the pitiful face of the big lion in her vision, and her heart immediately softened. She raised her hand and gently ruffled Theon’s golden short hair.
The beautiful little female obediently curled up in the male’s arms, soothingly patting his head. To others, the scene was extremely beautiful, but to Zayne and Felix, two rivals, it was filled with bitterness.
Unable to resist, Zayne stepped forward, grabbing Theon by the back of his collar and forcefully pulling him out of Nyx’s embrace. “Alright, it’s time to go to the mental power testing center.”
This wasn’t the time for romance; there was important business to attend to.
Every successful awakening of a female’s mental power required a visit to the Empire’s mental power testing center to evaluate their Mental Power Level and update their profile in the system.
This was a mandatory process.
After firmly pulling Theon away, Zayne immediately replaced him, taking Nyx’s hand and sighing softly, “I’m glad you’re okay.”
Nyx couldn’t help but smile, leaning in to comfort him.
This time, it was Theon who felt jealous.
But the one who was undoubtedly more jealous was Felix.
Both young males had received Nyx’s comfort, while he had nothing.
Nyx briefly met Felix’s longing gaze but hesitated and looked away, pretending not to notice.
Felix’s support at the ball had touched her, but the sharp “matron” had truly shocked her.
She had always regarded Felix as an elder.
Nyx’s avoidance made Felix’s expression darken, and a faint pain spread across his chest.
In the first few decades of his life, he had never felt the heart–wrenching sting of jealousy.
He didn’t know what exactly he had done wrong to make Nyx dislike him.
‘Is my personality too dominant?
‘Is my tone too cold and harsh?

‘Or was it that my earlier remarks and offenses during the video chat with Theon had been so egregious that she had already condemned me in her mind?‘ Felix closed his eyes to enumerate the possible mistakes he had made, already planning to beg for Nyx’s forgiveness.
He sincerely regretted his past coldness and prejudice.
Barely maintaining his composure, Felix urged in a hoarse voice “Let’s go.”
The short flight to the mental power testing center from the Holy Ground only took ten minutes.
When they arrived at the mental power testing center, Felix’s unmistakable face immediately attracted attention.
A vacuum zone formed around him, with people glancing at him secretly, but no one dared approach. ‘Marshal? How could he be at the mental power testing center?‘
The events at the ball were kept under wraps, and no one knew what had happened. With gossip on their minds, people stared at Felix, only to be awed when Nyx stepped out of the spacecraft. ‘What a beautiful female!‘ they thought.
For some reason, despite looking so soft and gentle, she gave off a subtle desire for others to bow to her.
Had Felix not been guarding her so vigilantly, some of the males would likely have grovelled before her.
The information blackout at the ball might fool the general public, but it couldn’t fool the empire’s powerful elites.
As soon as Nyx appeared, many pairs of eyes were watching her in the shadows, waiting for the results of her test. ‘How high was her mental power, really? S–level? Or perhaps SS–level?‘ they wondered.
An SS–level female had never appeared in the Empire’s history. Until the results were out, almost no one dared to believe a miracle would happen.
Even Felix wasn’t sure that Nyx would awaken SS–level mental power.
He softly comforted Nyx, “Don’t feel pressured. No matter the result, you are a one–of–a–kind treasure.”
