Proving one's status starting with magical girls

Loneliness under the moon.

Below me are the thousands of lights lit up by skyscrapers, and above me is the quiet night sky twinkling with countless stars.

The white-haired girl sat atop the city's tallest building, letting the night wind blow through her snow-white hair.

She stretched out her white, lotus-root-like arms, her fingertips holding a seed, the reflection of crystal shimmering in her clear, agate-like eyes under the moonlight.

Even Yuan An's emotions were stirred upon seeing the crystal seed.

"Although this is not the first time I have seen this object, the purity of its metallic nature is truly astounding!"

The metal element refers not to the metal of the Five Elements, but to the indestructible nature of metal.

Whether a cultivator cultivates their own nature or condenses supernatural powers, the key to achieving the Golden Elixir and attaining the Golden Rank lies in forging this immortal gold.

When life and destiny are in harmony, and supernatural powers reach their peak, the metal element will always hold a supreme and noble position, no matter when.

But now Yuan An has such a golden essence in his hand. It was neither forged by supernatural powers nor left behind by the True Lord. It is so pure that even Yuan An has never seen it before.

More than a month ago, Yuan An used it to transform his disciple into a magical girl. At that time, he called it Primal Gold, and that is why.

There was never a Great Sage dwelling there, nor were there any Three Mysteries ascending to the throne. It was naturally utterly primitive, somewhat resembling the Yin and Yang entities of the Zhengshi era.

"But if it is of the metal element, then what kind of metal element does this thing belong to?"

The white-haired girl looked at the Seed of Hope in her hand and murmured to herself.

"Yin and Yang, the Five Virtues, the Twelve Qi, all ancient..." The metal positions in my memory flashed through my mind, but none of them matched the metal element within them.

Moreover, this metal element also has the ability to automatically draw upon the metal position of heaven and earth according to the user's destiny, allowing the user to transform into a magical girl. This kind of ability is simply unheard of by Yuan An.

Moreover, this golden quality is also encased within this tiny crystal seed, making it appear very gentle.

But in Yuan An's memory, Jin Xing was never so well-behaved.

They all used various formations and earth vein magic treasures to suppress it, fearing that the metal element inside would manifest as a demon and wreak havoc on heaven and earth.

"Could it be that these glass objects outside have a suppressing effect? ​​But there's no spiritual energy fluctuation, and they don't look like spiritual objects at all..."

Just as Yuan An was carefully studying the Seed of Hope, a vague voice sounded beside him.

"A large tree... a seed... source magic..."

The white-haired girl turned her head and saw that the void beside her was fluctuating violently, as if something wanted to come out of the void, but was blocked by the spiritual energy of the mortal world.

Seeing that the thing was struggling to enter reality, Yuan An frowned and stretched out her delicate hand to stroke the empty air.

Finally, her eyes narrowed, and as if she had touched something, she quickly grabbed the thing by its furry nape and pulled it out of the void.

Anke: "..."

"Excuse me, stranger, could you please put Anke down for a moment?"

The little deer with the halo above its head spoke up, somewhat speechlessly.

The white-haired girl tilted her head and examined the familiar demon, seemingly quite puzzled.

"I...I remember you. You seem to be the Void Beast that made a contract with that magical girl named Purple Owl?"

"...How many more bizarre nicknames will you humans give us! Anke is an angel! A true angel! You humans call us familiars and fairies, fine as it may!"

"What the hell is this 'Beast of the Void'?!"

Seeing the little thing's protest, Yuan An remained noncommittal.

In her view, this beast, though lacking supernatural powers, could come from the void, so calling it the beast of the void was most appropriate.

"I don't care what you are, but what you said in the Void earlier has piqued my interest."

She said calmly.

The fawn tried to break free from Yuan An's grasp, but two snow-white fingers clamped down on the back of its neck like pliers.

After struggling to no avail, the little beast could only helplessly speak.

"Stranger, didn't you want to know what the crystal encasing primordial magic was for?"

"Now, Anke will tell you that the crystal is a fruit seed from the Tree of Hope, and the primordial magic inside is stable because it has been purified by the Tree of Hope."

"Stranger! Now you can put Anke down!"

Yuan An chuckled softly, then released her grip. The little beast, having lost her strength, plummeted from a height of several hundred meters.

Fortunately, the halo above its head lit up the next moment, as if an invisible force caught its body in mid-air.

As the little beast slowly flew up, the white-haired girl was seen resting her chin on her hand, watching it with a leisurely air.

She parted her lips slightly and spoke softly.

"Beast of the Void, I ask you, what are the 'Tree of Hope' and 'Primordial Magic' you speak of?"

Anke crossed its two front hooves over its chest, seemingly quite displeased.

"Stranger, if Anke answers you, will you return the Seed of Hope you took from Anlin?"

Yuan An looked at it with a half-smile and said, "That depends on whether your answer satisfies me, but I, Li Yuanqing, always keep my word."

When the Void Beast appeared before her, Yuan An had already guessed its purpose.

However, what puzzled her was why the beast didn't show up to stop them in the hospital before, but instead waited until now?

Could this beast have some ulterior motive?

Completely unaware that she was being maliciously speculated about, An Ke believed Yuan An's lies.

It flew to the white-haired girl and explained seriously with its doe-like face.

"The Tree of Hope is a miracle tree that grows at the top of the magic kingdom. All the seeds of hope for magical girls are picked from the Tree of Hope."

"As for Primal Magic... that's a bit complicated to explain to you."

At this point, it paused, clearly considering how to explain.

"You humans have a word, I think... um, I remember now, it's called materialism."

"Anke heard the great sage Remy say that you humans believe that matter determines everything, and that the whole world was created by a Big Bang of matter."

"But we angels are different."

"We angels believe that the world was not created by the so-called Big Bang, but was constructed by four types of primordial magic."

"You can regard Primal Magic as the source of power for all magic, but more than power, Primal Magic is more like the unchanging truth of the world."

The white-haired girl asked in surprise, "Oh? There are actually four types of Primal Magic?"

"That's right!" Anke nodded.

"The four types of primordial magic are: elemental magic, chaos magic, ancient magic, and the sun and moon magic of the two realm lords."

As Yuan An listened to its explanation, the more she thought about it, the more familiar it seemed, and she couldn't help but ask.

"Is there perhaps five types of elemental magic?"

"Huh? How did you know, stranger?" Anke asked, somewhat surprised.

"...If I'm not mistaken, then there are twelve types of chaos magic, right?"

"!"

Seeing the utterly shocked expression on the face of the Void Beast, Yuan An felt there was no need to ask about the remaining so-called ancient magic and sun and moon magic.

Heaven and Earth, Golden Position, don't think that just because you changed your name I, Yuan An, won't recognize you!
