Chapter 312: Zhao Mingyue’s True Identity Turns Out to Be
I’d been pondering what was so unique about Zhao Mingyue’s physique that the Burning Heart Goddess was so hell-bent on it. She’d possessed Zhao Mingyue’s body many times and hadn’t noticed any major issues, aside from the exceedingly high potential—an attribute that’s practically the norm for a “female protagonist.” Other than that, everything seemed perfectly fine.
She didn’t have a physique like Feng Xi who could absorb pure spiritual power just by touching things.
Feng Xi’s physique was indeed special; her spiritual power must have mutated for her to have such abilities. Zhao Mingyue didn’t have that luxury.
When it comes to a person’s physique being “special,” it generally relates to body, soul, and spirit.
The body was all right; I had figured that out “passively.” The soul was fine too—I could say I’m now part of Zhao Mingyue’s soul. As for spiritual power, there wasn’t anything particularly extraordinary about Zhao Mingyue.
Until I activated the power of the Black Sun God and entered Zhao Mingyue’s body again, only then did I discover where the issue lay.
To put it simply, Zhao Mingyue could magnify the power of the Evil God infinitely, whether it was curses or malevolent thoughts. Just this alone would drive any Evil God crazy, but it wasn’t until today that I possessed Zhao Mingyue and got close to that real Ghost Gate in the amusement park that I felt an inexplicable attraction.
This feeling didn’t emanate from my body; it came from Zhao Mingyue’s body.
To some extent, I could share sensations with Zhao Mingyue, so this magnetism felt incredibly clear to me; it was just that Zhao Mingyue seemed entirely oblivious. In her eyes, the Ghost Gate looked more like something to run away from than to be attracted to.
For the sake of Zhao Mingyue’s safety, I didn’t let her body enter the gate. I just touched the essence—or perhaps you could say the medium—of the Ghost Gate.
From my perspective, the attraction of the Ghost Gate to Zhao Mingyue wasn’t stemming from some hidden power inside but from the very essence of the Ghost Gate world itself.
Yes, it was definitely the core of the Ghost Gate world; I could not be mistaken.
This naturally leads one to wonder why Zhao Mingyue’s body could amplify the power of the Evil God. There’s always a fundamental reason behind things, just like Feng Xi supplies spiritual power not for free; it’s because her own spiritual power is vast and pure.
So what about Zhao Mingyue?
If Zhao Mingyue’s body is connected to the essence of the Ghost Gate world, then when an Evil God utilizes her body, it’s akin to receiving boosts and enhancements from the Ghost Gate world itself. That explains why Evil Gods are so crazy about her body!
For Evil Gods, the real world is like a foreign land; the Ghost Gate world is “home.”
In terms of power, Evil Gods are definitely stronger within the Ghost Gate world.
However, that brings up another question: what kind of connection does Zhao Mingyue have with the Ghost Gate that makes her practically a clone of the Ghost Gate world?
And why doesn’t she feel the Ghost Gate’s pull and summons?
Bai Yu thought that once this question was answered, their chances of dealing with the Dark Moon God would increase significantly.
No matter how powerful the Dark Moon God is, they’re still an outsider and have been hurt.
“Did you feel that at the Ghost Gate today?” Zhao Mingyue asked as she noticed Bai Yu frowning in deep thought, remembering a question Bai Yu had asked her earlier.
At the time, Bai Yu hadn’t revealed why she asked; she only said she would tell her later. During their return trip, they had a brief chat to give her a rough idea, but no matter how hard she thought, she just couldn’t figure out why she suddenly had such a deep connection with the Ghost Gate.
She had always been a well-behaved and sensible person, and besides Eternal Life Village, she had hardly ever interacted with the ghostly realm.
Also, there hadn’t been any missing memories from her childhood, like some cliché manga plot; in reality, that missing memory was her biggest secret.
Bai Yu systematically laid out her conjectures. Zhao Mingyue furrowed her pretty brows, resting her chin on one hand, and stared at the ceiling for quite a while.
Bai Yu’s theory was indeed a bit scary.
Others were either entangled with evil ghosts or malevolent spirits, or at the very worst, had ties to Evil Gods. But she was different; she had a connection with the whole Ghost Gate world, almost like she was an envoy of the Ghost Gate world.
Without needing much elaboration, she could already feel how impressive that identity was.
But the more impressive the identity, the higher the price usually was.
“Well, this isn’t so bad; I think it’s good news at the moment,” Zhao Mingyue finally said after a long silence.
“If it weren’t for the Dark Moon God, I’d probably think this was terrible news—tying an already unstable life to a gigantic time bomb, and not even knowing when it’s going to explode.”
“But now I think this might be my—no, our shared opportunity. If I really am that powerful, wouldn’t that make things easier for you?”
Zhao Mingyue spoke softly, and from the expression on her face, it was clear she wasn’t joking.
Bai Yu didn’t know how to persuade this girl; in the end, it all boiled down to one phrase.
“Just trust me.”
It referred to dealing with the Dark Moon God as well as Zhao Mingyue’s identity.

The news about the Black Sun God spread throughout the Tianfa Sect, and many people were relieved. The shadow of the Black Sun God had loomed over everyone’s heads during this time, like worrying about whether their assigned Ghost Gate would be ambushed one day.
Evil Gods are scary, but an Evil God who can turn a group of evil spirits into believers just by shining their light is even scarier.
It boils down to the unknown.
Most of the information they had about the Black Sun God was unknown; they could only analyze some clues based on the opposition’s actions. And the first reaction upon analyzing their findings was always, “This is too ridiculous.”
What’s worse, this Evil God showed up on their turf, and it was up to them to deal with it.
Now, someone had finally fought the Black Sun God head-on and figured out its true nature.
Yes, it’s an Evil God, but not that strong.
Everyone’s hearts that had been hanging in suspense finally relaxed; in fact, hardly anyone in the Tianfa Sect doubted the credibility of the information.
This was mainly because everyone in the sect loved to brag too much; by the end, everyone had grown accustomed to that atmosphere.
Some thought the intel might be incorrect, but seeing that so many people, including a Deputy Sect Master, affirmed it, they cast aside their doubts.
As a result, quite a few members of the sect were suggesting drawing up a counterattack plan, aiming to corner this Evil God.
Benefits aside, if this kept up, the remaining Ghost Gates wouldn’t be able to escape doom either.
Faced with the clamor of the sect members, the Sect Master of Tianfa had no choice but to act. He had learned to be smart this time, dragging the Gatekeeper, Chairman Chen, into it.
After promising a bunch of non-existent benefits, Chairman Chen finally agreed to help and mentioned they’d bring in a powerful ally.
This powerful ally was nicknamed… Dragon Lady.
