The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Moran perked up, immediately put down the pen and paper in her hand, straightened her robes, and replied, "Understood, I'll be right there."

She flashed to the control room. On the screen, there was a plane-shaped world with a boundary membrane inserted by a dark golden beam of light. The world level was just over level four, and it was estimated that the cultivator would ascend after advancing to the Nascent Soul stage.

Moran immediately used divination to determine the auspiciousness of the divination result: "Auspicious?"

It's not the best luck, but it's not bad either.

This suggests that the operation will likely proceed smoothly. The process may not be as smooth and effortless as it was in the Tianxuan Realm, but the final result should be favorable and the risks should be manageable.

"It seems that this world has not yet been heavily guarded by the Immortal Realm," Moran quickly analyzed.

As long as no Dao Ancestor is lying in wait beforehand, giving her time to sever the ascension path and contact the world's consciousness, that's fine.

To communicate with the world consciousness of this world without being detected by the world consciousness of the immortal realm, one must first sever the ascension path.

"Click, stay hidden and quickly close to effective attack range," Moran calmly ordered.

The Starry Ark glided silently through the void until the thick, dark gold beam of light was fully within the Ark's optimal firing range.

"Target locked, connection point between the ascent channel and the boundary membrane."

Moran's fingertips swiped quickly across the control screen, bringing up the attack sequence that had been prepared long ago.

This time, they skipped even the probing and directly filled the area with hundreds of {Seventh-Order Spatial Blades} to launch an attack.

The next moment, a silver-white storm seemed to bloom in the void!
Hundreds of {Seventh-Order Space Blade} cards were activated simultaneously, transforming into dazzling silver rays that tore through space. Like a swarm of hungry silver bees, accompanied by a heart-palpitating hiss, they poured down on the root of the black gold pillar of light that connected with the boundary membrane!

Moran's attack was ruthless and saturated; she wanted to ensure that the ascension passage was completely severed at the first moment.

I don't ask to stop the Dao Ancestors from the lower realm halfway, I only ask to delay their arrival as much as possible.

She still needs to communicate with the world's consciousness and reach a cooperation agreement.

The dazzling silver light collided violently with the heavy black pillar of light, and the resulting energy turbulence instantly swept through the surrounding void!

The jet-black pillar of light trembled violently, the cracks on it grew larger and larger, and finally broke apart completely with a deafening roar.

The ascension path to immortality in the celestial realm has finally been severed.

Moran seized the opportunity and had Kaba pilot the Starry Ark into the boundary membrane of this world.

She opened the door of the witch's house, descended into the world on a flying carpet, chose a desolate valley to land, then held her breath and cast a star language spell, spreading out ripples of benevolent mental energy to seek and communicate with the world consciousness of this realm.

A faint, weary thought, yet filled with obvious gratitude, cautiously touched her mental power, like a frightened little animal.

“Outsider…it was…it was you who severed…that…that blood-sucking path to ascension…”

"...Thank you...really...thank you...I...my name is Qingyou..."

"...I have been...tortured for too long...for too long...my essence is constantly being lost...my consciousness...has also fallen into a deep sleep...I am extremely weak..." Its thoughts were intermittent, filled with painful trembling, trying its best to exaggerate its miserable situation.

"...I...I only have this...to express my...deepest gratitude to you..."

With this thought, a jade piece radiating a soft light slowly condensed and appeared before Moran.

It is an invitation from a close friend.

The consciousness of the Azure Netherworld continued to recount the pain of being suppressed by the Immortal Realm for a long time and the constant loss of its origin. Its words were sincere, and its gratitude seemed to overflow.

However, Moran sensed something amiss.

Based on the "weakness" transmitted to her by the consciousness of the Azure Netherworld, it seemed to be in a much worse state than the consciousness of the Heavenly Profound World back then. However, Moran could sense that its original power was not damaged to that extent at all. Perhaps its foundation was more solid than that of the Heavenly Profound World back then, and the time it was plundered by the Immortal Realm was also shorter.

He rambled on with words of thanks and put on a good show of complaining, but when it came to a substantial gift... all he got was this invitation to a close friend, not even a single crystal of primordial magic.

As is customary in the universe, worlds that are rescued are rewarded with a large amount of primordial magic crystals and world invitation tokens; otherwise, there wouldn't be so many explorers of level six or above who take it upon themselves to rescue endangered and level zero worlds.

This invitation from a close friend is a great reward for a quest issued by the Skywell, but it seems too insignificant, even perfunctory, for high-level explorers who want to save the world.

They wouldn't say they're stingy, but they're definitely not sincere.

Moran thought that Qingyou Realm was just a bit stingy, but that didn't affect her discussion of future cooperation. For her, the reward of primal magic power obtained from saving the world was far less important than the continuous and steady stream of magic power income after successfully promoting the card magic system.

With the ascension passage to the Immortal Realm severed, the Dao Ancestor of the Immortal Realm may already be on his way. The most urgent task is to forge cooperation and deal with the potential crisis that may follow.

So, she suppressed that slight sense of disharmony and continued communicating calmly through star language, drawing on her successful experience in the Heavenly Profound Realm, clearly analyzing the current situation and future of the Azure Nether Realm:

“Qingyou, your current predicament has not been completely resolved. Even if I sever the ascension path in front of you, as long as the path of cultivation is still the mainstream in this world, the Immortal Realm can continue to send Dao Ancestor cultivators to rebuild the path and continue to draw on your origin.”

A wave of pain and recognition emanated from the consciousness of the Azure Netherworld.

"...Yes...yes...you're right...I...I know this is like drinking poison to quench thirst...but...I have no other choice..."

Moran then offered her solution: "I have a completely new path of cultivation that can help you get out of this predicament completely."

The 'magic' system does not rely on spiritual roots, nor does it require you to bestow primal power as a foundation. Instead, it develops the spiritual power of humankind itself, leveraging the omnipresent elemental energy of heaven and earth to cast spells.

If you can cooperate, I will no longer bestow spiritual roots upon living beings, and I will cooperate in guiding them toward the path of magic.

At that time, even if the Immortal Realm forcibly reopens the ascension channel, they will find it difficult to find 'ascended individuals' who meet the requirements, and they will no longer be able to plunder your origin.

In addition, if I am in the Azure Netherworld and a Dao Ancestor realm cultivator from the Immortal Realm comes, I will prevent them from rebuilding the ascension passage. All I need is for you to help keep their physical bodies firmly outside the boundary membrane.

After we succeed, I will extract the primordial power from their cave, and we'll split the profits fifty-fifty! (End of Chapter)
