Becoming a wet nurse is not the end of the story.

The failure to find the necromancers cast a shadow over Xueyin's heart, but the Flaming Copper Hammer didn't let her think about it any further and spoke up.

"Xueyin, since you're here with the Feathered Clan, why not stay a few more days? The Feathered Clan's Queen is quite interested in you and wants to meet you. Would you like to come with me to meet her?"

"Huh? No, no need. I feel like I've seen a lot of queens lately."

"Star God Tears seems like a decent person. Aren't you really going to meet him?"

The name "Tears of the Star God" sounds rather strange, yet it also sounds quite nice. Although she didn't want to meet this queen, Lin Xueyin was still somewhat interested in Tianyu City.

I saw an introduction to Tianyu City when I was in the library. It was a legendary city in the sky that was eventually shot down on this mountain range during that great battle.

Later, the Black Iron Clan was forced to migrate here due to their defeat in the war, thus forming the most solid alliance on the continent.

It must be said that the two sides cooperated very well. The Black Iron Clan established a solid military base at the foot of the mountain to protect the safety of the entire mountain range, while the Feather Clan would send people to reinforce them in a timely manner, and the two sides fought together.

As for the interior of Sky City, as a sky city, it is said that it exudes an ancient and elegant style everywhere, comparable to, or even surpassing, the mother tree of the elven race.

"Orichils, how about we stay here and have some fun for a few days before heading back to the human realm?"

After a moment's hesitation, seeing Lin Xueyin's expectant eyes, Orichils nodded slightly. "Well, then we'll stay here for a few days. However, you need to rest well these few days and not overexert yourself. Do you understand?"

"YES, that's great! I love Olysils the most!" He hugged the elven girl in front of him tightly, and his warm, cherry-red lips made a loud smack on her pretty face.

Orichalos led, or rather, walked hand in hand with Lin Xueyin, up the ancient city, which was full of ancient art. What they saw was the devastation of the war, but they could also vaguely see the glory of the city in the past.

"Wow, this statue is really amazing. It even has protective measures. I can't believe it was preserved so well after the great war."

"Yes, it is said that the Feather Clan's Heavenly Domain City is the only city besides the Demon Clan's Demon King's Castle that still retains ancient architecture."

Well, Lin Xueyin looked around at the surrounding buildings, and the unique ancient aura wafted over her. Of course, that wasn't the point. The point was that it felt like she was in a paradise in a mythical world.

Putting aside the effects of the previous battle, one can still vaguely see how magnificent the city was back then, and the city, filled with a sense of holiness, also gave Lin Xueyin a feeling of closeness.

"Yukine, do you like this city?"

Not understanding why Lin Xueyin looked at the city with such fondness, Orichils casually mentioned it, only to see her gently shake her head.

"Not really, it's just that the atmosphere here reminds me of my past."

Her tone, devoid of any romantic undertone, made it clear that she didn't want to delve deeper into the memory she had mentioned. Olihils, understanding the situation, led Lin Xueyin around for a look.

"Orichalos, look over there, there are people PK'ing. Uh, you mean they're sparring."

He excitedly pointed to a building in the distance where two soldiers were engaged in aerial combat; it was a truly beautiful sight.

The Feathered Clan is a race with two white wings. Although they can usually retract their wings, they will raise them again in battle, becoming a nightmare for their enemies.

Between the gleaming iron claws, intense sparks continuously erupted. The two men's attacks were extremely powerful, showing no signs of a friendly sparring match. Each move was deadly, radiating a chilling aura.

"They are so strong."

"Of course, the Feathered Clan is a very special race. Once they reach adulthood, they become high-level combatants, and can even reach the level of a War King."

"Huh? The level of a War King? Wait, are there any other rankings for warriors?"

Belatedly, Lin Xueyin suddenly realized that she seemed to have overlooked something. Before, when she was at school, she had been engrossed in reading about the situation on the mainland and had not paid any attention to the classification of professions.

I was careless. How could there be no job classification in this other world? It seems there are still many things I haven't learned.

"Don't you know about age ratings?"

Lin Xueyin nodded with a dry laugh, realizing she had indeed failed somewhat, only now remembering the matter of a career.

"Well, I don't know if your human race's classification is the same, but although there are quite a few War Spirits on the continent, they are still a threshold for advancing to the level of a strong person."

"Huh? Doesn't that mean that everyone below the level of a War Spirit is just an ant?"

Seeing Orichalos nod, Lin Xueyin couldn't remain calm any longer. "If battle spirits are so powerful, why didn't they appear in the previous war between humans and beastmen or among the dwarves? Did they not have any? And why did the dwarf king die in battle?"

With a slight sigh, Orichils said, "Otherwise, why do you think the Dwarf King died? Although I don't know what level he was, he probably wasn't too bad."

"But...."

"You, didn't you notice that even after the rat race attacked, they didn't commit all their elite forces to the battle? Do you really think that a race that has existed for tens of thousands of years wouldn't have any trump cards?"

Um, those words left Lin Xueyin standing there dumbfounded, completely at a loss for words.

"You know, although the human race occupies the best part of the continent, do you really think their resources allow them to stand firmly on their own?"

"I....."

Hearing these secrets for the first time made the girl, who had always thought this continent was nothing special, feel a slight sense of threat. She suddenly thought of the Nightmare Clan chief and the Shadow Clan assassin who had appeared among the Elven race. They could invade the dreams of gods and even tamper with them. So, what kind of being was that Demon King?

A demon king who rules over the entire demon race and controls the most powerful force on the continent, a demon king who single-handedly reunites the divided demon race—what a terrifying existence such a being would be.

"Orichils, why are there so few people above the Battle Spirit level participating in the battle? Don't they care?"

"What do they care about? Unless it's a civil war, those above the level of War Spirit are not allowed to participate in external warfare. Moreover, immense destructive power not only fails to bring them sufficient benefits, but also places them under greater threat."

Uh, I suddenly realized that nuclear weapons are the same; they're just a deterrent. Anyone who dares to use them casually would probably be bringing about their own and the world's destruction.

Continuing to watch the fierce battle between the two war spirits in the sky, with afterimages appearing one after another, even I found it difficult to keep up with their attack rhythm when I suddenly noticed them.

The rapid impact and high-speed claw strikes could even cause slight distortions in space.

The battle between the two escalated, but remained deadlocked, and it seemed unlikely that a victor would be decided anytime soon. Orichils noticed this and took Lin Xueyin's hand, saying, "Let's go, it's hard to determine a winner here."

"Hmm, but, with them fighting like this, isn't anyone going to do anything about it?"

Orichils smiled and pointed to the huge, probably circular building in front of them, saying, "That's the arena of Sky City, a place where fights can be legally held."

These words made Lin Xueyin scratch her head awkwardly, unsure how to continue. Unexpectedly, she was pulled by the other person's hand and led to another place.

"Tianyu City, as an ancient sky city, is not just this little place. Let's go, there are still many places we haven't seen today. We can talk about the duel when we get back."

"Oh, okay then, but where are we going next?"

"That's a secret. Just follow me."

"Huh? Olithis, it's really unethical of you to keep people in suspense like this."

From afar came the girl's disgruntled complaints and smug giggles, drawing the attention of passersby who watched the two girls, who were not of their own race, interacting happily.

Volume 5: The Winged Race and the Dwarves: Chapter 29: Heavenly City (Part Two)

Walking on the streets of Tianyu City, paved with an unknown type of white stone, Lin Xueyin was still indignant about Orichalos's suspenseful behavior.

"Alright, little girl, we'll be there soon. Can't you just enjoy the scenery along the way?"

"Hmph, I've seen it, I've seen it. It's just some weird sculptures and strange buildings. What else could you possibly tell me..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Xueyin saw a huge statue emanating strong energy fluctuations, seemingly protecting it all along.

However, there are many statues protected by energy, but this statue is so special in Lin Xueyin's eyes, because it is exactly the same as the sculpture in her hand.

As if oblivious to Lin Xueyin's sudden change in expression, Orichils continued to fulfill his role as tour guide, saying, "This is the legendary Demon God, the true ruler of this continent in ancient times, but he has now been completely killed."

It seems that only the true core members of the Elven race know the fact that the demon god is not dead, but sealed away. Of course, she wouldn't be foolish enough to correct this fact.

"Well, it's good that he's dead, it's good that he's dead. But was his rule really that brutal back then?"

"Of course, isn't that necessary? You can imagine how the five major races and the dragons from overseas overthrew his rule back then."

That makes sense, but...

"Then why did you bring me here? There should only be this statue here."

"Haha, silly girl, I didn't bring you here for this broken statue, but for the complex of buildings behind it."

Orichalos pointed triumphantly at the faintly visible buildings in the distance, then, ignoring the somewhat thoughtful girl, hurried toward the still-outlined structures.

Passing through those winding paths was like bypassing the trees and stone walls that blocked the way, finally revealing the true face of those buildings.

What comes into view is a huge complex of buildings, with winged people constantly going in and out, seemingly doing something.

"This is the temple of the Feather Clan. Although the Feather Clan does not worship any gods, they have preserved this ancient architectural complex, which was originally built to worship the demon god, intact."

"But don't the Feathered Clan not believe in gods? Then why do they use it as a temple?"

"You'll have to ask them about that. However, it's said that the Feathered Clan just came here to find spiritual solace. In other words, having no faith means that everyone can have their own god. They come here simply to pray to their god."

Huh? This works too? Lin Xueyin stared blankly at the temple in front of her, completely unable to imagine that a temple could be used in this way.

"Let's go in and take a look."

"But isn't that the temple of the Feathered Clan? Wouldn't it be a bit... a bit much for us to go in like this..."

"It's alright, we're just going in for a look. The Feather Clan themselves haven't forbidden anyone from going in to visit."

Lin Xueyin really wanted to roll her eyes at this woman. The Feather Clan would naturally not forbid it, because very few people would come to the Feather Clan. Although they were not xenophobic, they were located in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and the Black Iron Clan blocked their way below. Apart from some special missions or special people, who would come here for no reason?

However, precisely because of this, Lin Xueyin and her companion were still able to successfully enter this massive temple complex.

They couldn't understand why such a large complex of buildings would be built for a temple. It was their first time here, and they had no idea what the purpose of these buildings was.

“I say, are you sure this is a temple? Why can’t I see any sculptures, except for that huge demon god statue in the very center that’s protected by energy?”

Orichalos didn't understand, and Lin Xueyin was even more bewildered. A temple should at least have statues of gods, which would make it seem more devout, just like the human pantheon, where each god has their own statue. But here, there was just an empty hall.

Everything around was pure white, even emitting a milky white light. But that couldn't be a reason for them not to place statues of the gods inside, could it? I don't understand, I absolutely don't understand.

“If God is omniscient, then regardless of whether there are statues or not, as long as people pray sincerely, they will know. If God is not omniscient, then he is not qualified to be called God, and our prayers are just for peace of mind.”

A cold voice rang out behind them, startling them.

"You, you are..."

The silver-haired girl, hovering in mid-air, coldly looked at the two people in front of her who were clearly not from the Feather Clan.

"A human and an elf, what are you doing at our temple?"

For some reason, Lin Xueyin felt a sudden pang of guilt, as if she had been caught red-handed doing something wrong.

"Well, we heard there was a temple here, so..."

"Leave. This is not a place for you, and you are not welcome here."

Before Lin Xueyin could finish speaking, the woman had already told her to leave.

"I said, we're only here to worship, there's no need for you to..."

Before Olihirs could finish speaking, Lin Xueyin tugged at his sleeve. Confused, he turned around and saw Lin Xueyin giving him meaningful glances.
