The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

The Star Ark sailed smoothly through the silent void. Just as it was about to leave the edge of this star field that had been repeatedly explored by countless explorers, a circle of eerie blue light suddenly lit up in the control room. It was a signal that the target had been detected.

The little skeleton Kaba, who was sitting on a small sofa made of bones, immediately stood up from his designated driver's seat, and the soul fire in his skull surged violently with excitement.

It quickly pressed a button on the control panel, hovering the ark in place. Then it ran a few steps to the viewing window in the main control room and tapped a brown tree root that was extending from the moss and leaning against the windowsill.

On the smooth wooden surface, Kaba gestured with his finger bones, enunciating each word clearly: "Discover the endangered world."

The tree root trembled, raised a pointed tip, and hooked the cracking finger bones to indicate that it understood.

Beside the pond, the massive canopy of the moss tree rustled softly, and a section of emerald green root hidden in the cat's paw forest ecosystem rose up in response.

At this moment, Zizi was nimbly hanging upside down on a branch, watching Moran below cast a growth-inducing spell on several Valen native magical plants, the Cat's Claw Tree.

This is a new hobby that Moran developed after studying the vast amount of data in the Starry Sky Palace.

Find suitable locations within the ecological zone and transplant magical plants from Valen or other worlds to enrich the biodiversity within the Mirror Space and alleviate the loneliness of the long journey.

The cat's paw tree of Valen is completely different in appearance and function from the plant of the same name from the Three Thousand Mirror Ruins world, but they are surprisingly compatible when planted side by side.

As soon as the moss roots began to rise, Squeak was the first to notice.

Even without Moran using wood language to translate, it understood the message conveyed by the shaking of the tree roots through the pre-arranged code between them.

"Master, we've discovered an endangered world!" Zizi immediately reported loudly in clear Valen Tong language, then lightly leaped and landed steadily on Moran's shoulder.

The magical light flowing in Moran's hand paused slightly, and the next moment, she and Zizi on her shoulder were teleported back to the control room.

Squeak nimbly jumped off her shoulder.

Upon seeing their arrival, Kaba immediately pointed with his finger bones to the central control screen, and gently opened and closed his jaw to signal them to look.

The tree roots that had been protruding into the control room also curiously approached.

Moran looked at the white planet on the control screen, located about half a jump distance to the left and front of the Ark, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "It's a Level 0 endangered world!"

With a thought, she gave the Ark the order to adjust its course, perform a short-distance jump, and get closer to the boundary membrane of that world.

After a short jump, the Ark reached the outer edge of this world.

From outside the membrane, the world appears as a soft, milky white, like a huge, uncarved piece of jade.

The world consciousness was extremely weak, and the boundary membrane was like an unlocked and unguarded door. The Ark easily slid into the boundary membrane, found a space, and docked.

From a bird's-eye view, the general landscape of this world was projected onto the largest screen in the control room.

Natural light sources differ in different worlds.

In dimensional worlds like Valen, natural light sources mostly originate from celestial projections formed by the condensation of light elements.

In planetary worlds like Earth, natural light sources typically rely on nearby luminous stars. The world before us is also a planetary world, but it is a lonely one, completely blocked by the light of its nearest luminous star, which cannot bestow any blessings upon it.

Illuminating this world are three "Light-Gathering Stars" of varying sizes, resembling the moon and the blue planet, orbiting around it.

They cannot produce light elements themselves, but they can absorb light elements from distant stars and transform them into a cool light that is different from the red-hot light of the star Eternal Star.

These three stars simultaneously cast a pure and bright, yet cold, light evenly over every corner of the planet.

Under this cool yet bright light, the earth's veins are clearly visible.

Countless enormous, translucent crystal clusters rose from the ground like towering ancient trees, their height comparable to mountains. They refracted and scattered the light from "Jiguang Star," creating a continuous, colorful display of light across the vast earth's surface.

Some crystal clusters in certain areas are very orderly, seemingly showing traces of intelligent life activity.

The location was too far from the surface, so the finer details were no longer visible.

However, it is clear that the environment of this world is not suitable for human survival, and the possibility that humans are an intelligent species is extremely slim.

Although some or all individuals in every intelligent race possess magical talent, the manifestation of magical talent differs among different races.

If the intelligent races here are not humans or other races native to Valen, guiding them onto the right path to transcendence would be quite troublesome for her.

Moran now only hopes that it is a race that the Valen explorers once discovered, so that she can still have information to refer to.

She decided to descend into this world herself to find out.

Unaware of the form and habits of the intelligent beings in this place, and to avoid unnecessary attention, she took out her flying broom, transformed it into a flying carpet, and activated its invisibility function.

After estimating the distance, she activated a temporary teleportation channel with an exit located a thousand meters above the ground in this world.

Immediately, she quietly passed through the portal on an invisible flying carpet, slowly descended, and flew towards a well-organized crystal cluster forest with a distinct architectural style below.

She guessed correctly; there were indeed intelligent beings active in this crystal cluster forest. These tall and well-organized crystal clusters were carefully carved and stacked together, with their interiors hollowed out. There were also crystal corridors between adjacent crystal clusters that allowed people to pass through.

On the covered bridge, there are many slender and elegant humanoid creatures with skin that has a unique semi-transparent texture, and whose inner skin can be vaguely seen to flow with light, walking slowly.

The most striking feature is the pair of huge, butterfly-wing-like ears on either side of their heads.

When they communicate, in addition to uttering short but regular syllables, they also stick their ears out slightly forward.

At this time, different colored halos will appear on the ear wings.

It appears that they have developed their own language and their own unique way of receiving information.

Moran frowned slightly, rapidly recalling all the information he had ever seen about other worlds, from records in other world archives to the classics of the Starry Sky Palace, but no race could correspond to the creature before him.

Clearly, this is an intelligent life form that has not yet been discovered and documented by the Valen explorers. (End of Chapter)
