It's time to become a fairy.

The familiar scent of incense wafted through the air. Ye Qingge took a deep breath and wondered if it was just her imagination, but it seemed even more pronounced than yesterday.

She shook her head, ignoring the point, and pushed her younger sister to a well-known breakfast shop nearby.

The breakfast shop is famous for its breakfast buns, rumored to have a history of over a hundred years. Several former lords of Ningcheng have anonymously come to sample them and praised them highly. As a result, the price of the breakfasts is significantly higher than those in the surrounding area. For the Ye Qingge sisters, it's something they can only dream of; they rarely eat out. Ye Wenning, however, has been wanting to try it for a long time.

"Xiaoqing, you're out having breakfast with your sister so early?"

After ordering, a familiar voice rang out. Ye Qingge turned around and saw a woman who looked to be in her early twenties smiling at her. Noticing her gaze, the woman waved to her, signaling her to come to her side.

It was Zhou Dantong, the owner of the milk tea shop where she worked part-time.

"Sister Zhou."

Ye Qingge greeted them with a smile and pushed her younger sister over.

Although Zhou Dantong looks only in her early twenties, she is actually over thirty. Her husband is a well-known wealthy man in the city. Beside her sits a little girl who looks about five or six years old. When she sees Ye Qingge and her sister arrive, she sweetly calls out, "Sister Qing, Sister Ning."

Ye Qingge responded and chatted with Zhou Dantong casually.

Whether it was just her imagination or not, Ye Qingge felt that Zhou Dantong, who usually took excellent care of herself, seemed a little tired, but she hid it well, so Ye Qingge didn't ask any further questions.

Breakfast was served quickly. After the two finished eating, seeing that the cooldown time for the Empress's Possession was almost over, Ye Qingge quickly said goodbye and pushed her sister back home.

Ye Wenning licked her lips with lingering satisfaction and said, "It's not even six o'clock yet. Why are we getting up so early? Shouldn't we go for a walk?"

"I feel like my cultivation has broken through again. Let's talk about it later."

Ye Qingge, without changing her expression, found a reason and suddenly put on a serious look: "Besides, it's already March, and the high school entrance exam is in May. There are still more than two months left. We must use this time to study hard and strive to get into No. 1 High School."

Ye Wenning immediately showed a disdainful expression, and under Ye Qingge's stern gaze, she reluctantly took out the book.

After Ye Qingge left, she stuck out her tongue and thought disdainfully, "She's broken through in cultivation again. Cultivation isn't that easy to break through. My sister is really something, always treating me like a child. She must have been up to something bad again."

"As for reviewing... No. 1 High School isn't that easy to get into. I've already been first in the grade in academic subjects, and I can't improve my aptitude. Getting up so early just to review would be a waste!"

The thought flashed through her mind. After waiting for a while and confirming that her sister would not suddenly come to the room to attack, she put down her book without hesitation and turned on the old-fashioned crystal brain in the room.

The world of immortals and heroes that Ye Qingge transmigrated to was not much different from her original world in terms of daily life. The crystal brain was a replacement for the computer. Ye Wenning's crystal brain was left over from when his parents were still alive, and its configuration was already outdated.

The lines on the pale blue chip lit up, and it took nearly two minutes for it to slowly start up.

The desktop of the crystal brain was extremely simple. Most of the new software could not be run on this crystal brain, but Ye Wenning did not care. She opened the Ningcheng Forum and began to browse the latest news in Ningcheng.

Soon, a message caught her eye.

"Following yesterday's incident in Garden Community and the paranormal events at the villas in the east of the city a few days ago, another paranormal event has occurred in Fengqingyuan today. This time, the poster personally experienced the event and actually captured the presence of a ghost on video. Come and check it out before the administrator deletes the post!"

Below the post is a preview image of a video, showing a woman-like figure standing at the entrance of a brand-new stairwell.

Ye Wenning was immediately drawn to the content and subconsciously clicked on it. However, the crystal brain loaded extremely slowly. By the time the page was loaded, it showed that the post had been deleted and she entered a 404 page. A few seconds later, she was automatically redirected back to the homepage of Ningcheng Forum.

Chapter 16 On the Eve of the Coronation

Ye Qingge was unaware of her younger sister's accidental discovery while browsing the forum in her room. After leaving her sister's room, she returned to her own room and prepared to log into the Empress's body.

Before closing the door, Ye Qingge suddenly frowned slightly and glanced back at the bookshelf next to the dining table.

At the very top of the bookshelf stood three statues of gods, striking a majestic pose. In Ningcheng's customs, these statues were meant to ward off demons and protect the region.

That was indeed the impression Ye Qingge had of the three gods in the past. However, today, although the three gods were still majestic and solemn, they seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist, giving people an indescribable and peculiar feeling.

"Perhaps it's just my imagination."

Shaking her head, Ye Qingge withdrew her gaze and closed the door.

After taking the last Spirit Absorption Pill, Ye Qingge entered the Empress's body.

Unbeknownst to her, the three gods on the bookshelf underwent a strange change after she closed the door.

Strands of black lines began to appear above the Yin God, who held the God-Slaying Whip and controlled souls, in the center of the three gods. Within his solemn and imposing eyes, an invisible female phantom appeared. Seemingly disturbed by some strange force, the female phantom trembled violently, taking quite some time to stabilize.

It opened its blood-red eyes and looked at the room of Ye Qingge and Ye Wenning, revealing a smile: "Finally found you..."

His mouth opened and closed, but no sound came out.

An eerie atmosphere permeated the room.

Fairy Exchange System

[The recipient of this exchange: Empress Kaihuang]

[Special event detected involving the swapped object; special task initiated!]

[Special Mission: To ensure the prestige of humanity is not diminished upon the Empress's ascension to the throne of the Human Race. To elevate humanity to a level truly equal to that of the Demon Race and the Demigod Race.]

[Task Reward: Determined based on a comprehensive evaluation of the host's actions.]

"This time, the mission isn't an emergency mission like before, but a special mission?"

The light and shadow before her eyes returned, and looking at the message displayed by the system, Ye Qingge was slightly surprised: "The mission rewards are based on what you do during the possession. This mission no longer has a clear objective like before, so it will probably not be easy to get good rewards!"

Although the reward doubled based on Ye Qingge's actions after the mission of possessing Su Qing'er ended, this was the first time Ye Qingge had encountered a system that was purely based on behavior.

After calming her thoughts, Ye Qingge opened her eyes.

Before her eyes was a familiar pale pink curtain, still the same imperial carriage she had used when she woke up. However, there was a new incense burner next to the Empress's jade bed.

A faint fragrance wafted through the air, carrying wisps of coolness that seeped into her body. Ye Qingge felt many of her hidden injuries slowly healing under the influence of this fragrance. Before she possessed the body, the Empress must have been using this fragrance to heal her injuries.

She couldn't help but glance at the Empress's personal panel.

Name: Yang Zhao

[Titles: Emperor Kaihuang, Leader of the Human Race, Leader of Post-Heavenly Beings...]

[Cultivation Level: Fifth Level of Dao Realm]

[Skills: Swordsmanship (Great Perfection), Primordial Dao Scripture (Great Perfection), Five Elements Divine Power (Great Perfection), Yi Wood Rejuvenation Technique (Great Perfection), Medicine God's Holy Scripture (Minor Success)...]

[Status: Weak (All aspects of strength decreased by 10%)]

"Has your injury healed?"

Ye Qingge was slightly surprised. She stretched out her hand, and a small flame appeared in her palm. This was also one of her experiments with the system's rules.

Countless memories of the Fire Element Divine Power among the Five Element Divine Powers flooded his mind. After quietly sensing it, Ye Qingge opened his eyes in surprise: "It really works!"

When using the Fire Element Divine Power Technique, the experience gained from the Empress no longer disappeared after leaving the body, as before. Instead, it continuously entered Ye Qingge's mind, as unforgettable as previous techniques.

It was a very peculiar feeling, as if a dried-up sponge was constantly absorbing water from the ocean. The convergence and collision of two wills gave her a sense of rapid learning pleasure.

However, this is also limited to the first level of the Fire Element Divine Power.

After unleashing the first chapter of the Fire Element Divine Power several times in succession, a slightly surprised and lazy voice rang in his mind: "Qing, you're back?"

Ye Qingge continued singing, nodded, and asked, "How long has it been since I last possessed His Majesty?"

Yang Zhao pondered for a moment and said, "It's been almost a month since the last possession. I remember when you possessed me, I was still 27 days away from ascending the throne. In the blink of an eye, 26 days have passed. Tomorrow will be the day I officially ascend to the throne as the Heavenly Emperor of the Human Race."

As she spoke, her tone carried a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of deep emotion or reflection).

Ye Qingge seemed to be deep in thought. After possessing the system again more than twenty days later, along with this mission, she roughly figured out the system's possession rules.

Each time she possesses someone, it's because the person she's possessing is in trouble and needs her to solve it!

"As expected, this system shouldn't be called the Immortal Hero Exchange System; the Immortal Hero Salvation System would be more appropriate!"

Ye Qingge thought to herself that she didn't particularly hate the possession rules. She wanted to learn the skills of the possessed person and obtain pills, which required system points, and system points could only be obtained by completing tasks.

If every possession is like this, then it's a bit too hasty.

As Ye Qingge pondered, the Empress seemed to have thought of something, and said in a resentful tone, "Before you left last time, you left me with a huge mess. It took me almost half a month to sort out the news that the God of Medicine had fallen."

The existence of the God of Medicine is extremely special, and dealing with the Empress who stumbled upon this matter is also extremely troublesome. If not handled properly, she could be listed as a suspect.

After nearly a month of running around, the matter was finally resolved.

Ye Qingge smiled slightly, glanced at the new skill called "Medicine God Bible" that had been added to the Empress's skills, and said, "But Your Majesty has not gained nothing. At least the purpose of this trip has been achieved. Your serious injuries have been healed. You only need a period of rest to get through the period of weakness and you will be fully recovered."

"After you left, I discovered the Medicine God Bible, which was forged by the Medicine God himself and represents the culmination of his own Dao, beneath the Medicine God Temple. This can be considered the only gain from this trip."

The Empress said, "The Medicine God's Holy Scripture has followed the Medicine God for many years and has been imbued with the aura of the Great Dao. Based on what I learned from it, plus the healing abilities inherent in the Scripture itself, I have finally passed the critical period after more than half a month..."

"..."

The Empress and Ye Qingge chatted slowly, and from the Empress, Ye Qingge learned about the Empress's experiences over the past month.

Most of his time was spent healing his injuries and dealing with the aftermath of the Medicine God's fall. The rest of his time was spent preparing for his ascension to the throne the next day.

Only today, on the eve of her coronation, has she finally finished dealing with the matter and is heading to the Heavenly Palace of the Human Race.

After chatting for more than ten minutes, footsteps sounded from outside the door. Ye Qingge stopped what she was doing, looked up, and saw two maids walking quickly towards her, saying through the screen, "Your Majesty, we have arrived at the Heavenly Palace."

Chapter 17 The Five Heavenly Venerables of the Human Race

"I understand."

Ye Qingge responded and promptly took out a formal suit from her spatial equipment, changed into it, and then walked outside.

Behind the screen

The two maids blinked, sensing that the empress seemed different. Usually, when she went out formally, the maids would help her change her clothes, but this time she changed herself.

This operation seemed to carry a sense of familiarity, subconsciously reminding them of Ye Qingge's performance nearly a month ago when she went to the Medicine God Temple. Her effortless and decisive overcoming of a seemingly insurmountable obstacle and discovering the Medicine God's fall filled them with admiration and respect.

Unaware that her casual action had gained her two new female admirers, Ye Qingge had already left the imperial carriage and arrived at the gate of the Human Heavenly Palace.

The Human Race Heavenly Court will not be officially launched until the day the Empress ascends the throne, which is tomorrow. Normally, the high-ranking members of the Human Race conduct business and discuss important matters of the Human Race in the Human Race Heavenly Palace.

The Ghost Clan resides in the Underworld. As one of the three major races in reality, the Human Clan, though not as powerful as the Demon Clan and the Demigod Clan, is in no way inferior in the construction of the Heavenly Palace.

A huge floating island was transformed into a complete celestial palace. The ground of the palace was paved with special top-grade spirit stones. These spirit stones were made of the same material as white marble and were crafted by human craftsmen into square blocks of the same size, which were then neatly laid under the palaces on the floating island.

Between the palace complex, one can occasionally see vast spiritual lakes, where celestial beasts live. Those coming and going in the Heavenly Palace are all immortals at the Dao Realm or above, fully demonstrating the profound heritage of the human race.

At this moment, at the South Heavenly Gate of the Celestial Palace

Three immortal officials at the fourth level of the Dao Realm stood there. Behind them, nearly a hundred powerful individuals at the third level of the Dao Realm stood quietly at the entrance. Upon seeing Ye Qingge's arrival, they all bowed and respectfully said, "Welcome back to the palace, Your Majesty the Emperor."

Ye Qingge nodded slightly, then suddenly frowned and asked unhappily, "Where are the five elders? Why can't I see them?"
