Outside, the crowd waiting by the Holy Hall was also drawn to the pillar of golden light shooting into the sky.

His Majesty Augustine, Reg, Pani, Bai Lian, and the others gazed anxiously toward the Holy Hall, their eyes full of worry and concern.

The ministers, however, put their heads together and broke into a flurry of discussion, speculating on the results of Su Yaoyao’s spiritual power test.

"This golden light is so intense. I fear Miss Su’s spiritual power is beyond anything we could have imagined," one minister said in a low voice.

"Indeed. If it’s truly as we suspect, then the Star Shining Empire is bound to become even more glorious because of Miss Su," another minister chimed in.

At that moment, inside the Holy Hall, Su Yaoyao was completely immersed in the baptism of this immense power.

Enveloped by the golden light, Su Yaoyao’s consciousness seemed to merge and become one with this power.

She could feel her spiritual power surging like a tidal wave, constantly breaking through unknown boundaries.

As the golden light grew ever stronger, the runes on the Detection Crystal flickered more violently. The light flowed along the runic pathways, as if constructing some mysterious new order.

The elderly minister was shaken to his core. He had been in charge of spiritual power detection at the Holy Hall for many years, but he had never witnessed such a spectacle.

This intense golden light was far beyond what an ordinary level of spiritual power could trigger. ’Could Su Yaoyao truly be the legendary Holy Female?’ He stared intently at Su Yaoyao and the Detection Crystal, his gaze filled with awe and anticipation.

Suddenly, the golden light contracted at an astonishing speed, surging entirely into Su Yaoyao’s body.

Su Yaoyao felt an immense power rampaging through her body. She gritted her teeth, struggling to endure the impact.

After a good while, everything finally returned to calm.

Su Yaoyao slowly opened her eyes, a strange light flashing within them. Her entire aura seemed to have undergone a subtle change, taking on an air of mystery and nobility.

The elderly minister couldn’t wait to step forward. He asked excitedly, "Miss Su, how do you feel?"

Su Yaoyao stretched her body slightly and was delighted to discover that not only had her spiritual power become much stronger, but her perception of her surroundings had also become far more acute.

She smiled and replied, "I feel great. It’s as if I’ve gained an even greater power."

The elderly minister turned to the Detection Crystal. A complex string of symbols and numbers representing Su Yaoyao’s spiritual power level had materialized on its surface.

His eyes widened as he checked again and again in disbelief. An expression of pure ecstasy spread across his face, and he stammered, "Miss Su, you... your spiritual power level has actually reached the peak of the unprecedented SSSS-level! This is a glory the Star Shining Empire has never seen before! Your existence will surely rewrite the history of the Empire!"

Su Yaoyao was also shocked by the result. She never imagined her spiritual power was so immense.

She felt both excited and a little worried. She was excited to possess greater abilities, which meant she could perhaps better help the Beastmen. But she was also worried that such immense power might bring trouble to her and the people around her.

Unable to contain his excitement, the elderly minister immediately led Su Yaoyao out of the Holy Hall.

When they appeared before the crowd, Reg, Pani, and Bai Lian immediately surrounded them, anxiously asking what had happened.

The elderly minister cleared his throat and announced in a booming voice, "Miss Su Yaoyao’s spiritual power has reached peak SSSS-level! This is the pride of the Empire! It is an honor for us all!"

The crowd was stunned for a moment, then erupted into cheers.

The ministers rushed forward to offer their congratulations, their eyes filled with envy and awe.

A gratified smile appeared on Augustine’s face as well. He knew full well that Su Yaoyao possessing such immense spiritual power held extraordinary significance for the Empire’s future.

Bai Lian gripped Su Yaoyao’s hand tightly, his eyes brimming with pride and love. "Our Yaoyao is truly incredible."

Reg and Pani gathered around, their faces wreathed in smiles. Reg exclaimed, "Yaoyao, you’re amazing!"

Pani nodded vigorously, eyes crinkling into smiling slits. "Yeah, Yaoyao, you’re our pride! You’re the most incredible person ever!"

Su Yaoyao watched everyone’s reactions, her heart filled with a thousand emotions.

She knew that from this moment on, her destiny would be inextricably linked with the Star Shining Empire.

And she secretly made a resolution: she would use this power to do her utmost for the Empire’s peace and prosperity, and for the happiness of its people.

Unable to hide his joy, Augustine’s eyes shone brightly as he commanded in a loud voice, "Su Yaoyao is the Empire Holy Female! Send word and proclaim this news throughout the entire Empire!" His voice was filled with pride, as if this were the Empire’s supreme glory.

Upon hearing this, Bai Lian frowned slightly, a flicker of worry rising in his heart. He took a step forward and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, it would be better not to spread this news so hastily."

Augustine paused, looking at Bai Lian with confusion in his eyes. "She is the Holy Female. She should naturally receive the treatment a Holy Female deserves. All our subjects should pay their respects to her."

With a solemn expression, Bai Lian earnestly explained, "Your Majesty, Yaoyao’s spiritual power is both immense and rare. Once the news gets out, it’s inevitable that some people will get the wrong idea. This world is full of greedy individuals. For the sake of Su Yaoyao’s power, they might resort to any means necessary to harm her."

Augustine considered Bai Lian’s words for a moment before his gaze hardened. "If anyone dares to covet the Holy Female, they make an enemy of the Empire," he declared. "No matter the cost, the Empire will protect the Holy Female and ensure her safety." His words rang with the authority and resolve of an Emperor.

Hearing Augustine’s promise, Bai Lian felt it wasn’t his place to say more, though a sliver of worry remained in his heart.

He turned to look at Su Yaoyao, thinking to himself, ’My wife is so powerful. If we keep her power hidden and force her to live a life of obscurity, it would be a great injustice to Yaoyao.’

’Su Yaoyao was born to be radiant. She deserves to stand in the spotlight and receive the adoration of the masses.’

’It’s just... the potential dangers lurking in the background still leave me feeling deeply uneasy.’

Su Yaoyao watched the exchange between Bai Lian and Augustine, understanding that they both had her best interests at heart.

She stepped forward and gently squeezed Bai Lian’s hand, giving him a reassuring look. Then, she turned to Augustine and said with determination, "Your Majesty, I am willing to accept this title. I also hope to use my own power to do something for the Empire and make it a better place."

Augustine nodded in satisfaction, looking at Su Yaoyao with admiration. "The arrival of the Holy Female is the Empire’s great fortune. I believe that with your help, the Empire is sure to usher in a new era of glory."

And so, Augustine immediately ordered his attendants to spread the news that Su Yaoyao was the Empire Holy Female to every corner of the Empire with the greatest possible speed.
