The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

"Eight...eight trillion?" Vasida counted on her fingers, feeling a bit overwhelmed.

"Five trillion..." Lilith looked at her account balance, which was originally quite substantial, but now it was only enough for a fraction of the total.

“Ten trillion…” Sylph took a deep breath. She was usually not very sensitive to gem coins and one-time magic, but now, for the sake of her beloved portable planting space, she finally felt the enormous economic pressure.

The three witches, who had thought they were quite wealthy just a moment ago, now felt as if they were desperately poor!

As Moran watched them go from excited jubilation to being struck dumb, and then to looking pained and conflicted, she couldn't help but laugh. This scene inexplicably reminded her of those young people in her past life who looked at their dream houses but were overwhelmed by mortgage payments.

"Don't look at me like that," she said with a smile, "It's not like you can't make money! Didn't I say before that I promoted card magic in sixteen other worlds? You can choose some suitable and attractive witch magic, make it into cards, and put them on the card shop in those other worlds."

“Believe me,” Moran said confidently, “the profits from selling magic cards are much higher and faster than all the hard work you put into world quests. Maybe before we even go to the other world again, you'll be able to entertain me in your own mirror space!”

In order to customize their own ideal mirror space, Lilith, Vasida, and Sylph unleashed a tremendous passion for earning magic.

"Tell us about your experience on this trip, especially about those fifteen other worlds!"

Lilith urged hurriedly, her tone tinged with urgency and confusion, "To be honest, when I explored other worlds before, I also tried to directly promote our witch magic and develop a few contractors. But as soon as I revealed a little bit of the idea, I was immediately warned by the world's consciousness and almost kicked out! How did you do it? And you can spread across sixteen worlds at once?"

Lilith was the only one among them, besides Moran, who was interested in accumulating wealth.

Only she, after discovering that the benefits of her witch magic had entered a period of stable growth, had carefully considered how to expand into the otherworld market and find new contractors, but temporarily shelved the plan after that setback.

In contrast, Vasida and Sylph had previously been much more "laissez-faire" about this.

Vasita is the typical "as long as I have enough to eat, everything will be fine," while Sylph is "incredibly happy to have fresh plant seeds to study."

Relying on the profits they gained from witch magic in the world of Valen, they had accumulated more one-time magic power than they could ever use, and their own strength had been steadily improving. They had never seriously considered how to "earn more".

But now, things are different.

The staggering price of the customized {Mirror Space Card}, coupled with their deep-seated desire for a personal space entirely of their own, acted like an invisible whip, driving them to take the idea of ​​"earning magic" seriously.

He developed an unprecedentedly strong interest in what Moran was saying, and waited eagerly for her answer.

Moran then produced several thick volumes of his meticulously compiled "Cosmic Travel Logs," along with a "Starry Sea Map" unfolded, dotted with starlight and marked with coordinates of numerous other worlds and safe routes:
"My purpose this time is specifically to expand into the otherworld market, searching for Level 0 worlds and endangered worlds in the universe. These worlds have weak world consciousness, which will not only not hinder my promotion of witch magic, but will also be grateful to me for using witch magic to help them escape their endangered state. However, apart from the White Crystal Star I encountered at the beginning, which is a proper Level 0 endangered world, the remaining fifteen worlds are all quite special..."

Moran opened the "Cosmic Travel Log" to the section about the Immortal Realm, the Spirit Realm, and the Realm of Immortal Cultivators, and then showed them the locations of these worlds on the star map:
"These worlds are all cultivation-themed worlds where the evil immortal realm is plundering their source power through ascension portals. Speaking of which, I have to thank those conspicuous dark gold ascension portals for pointing me in the right direction, which allowed me to find so many worlds where I could promote witch magic in such a short time..."

Lilith, Vasida, and Sylph sat in a circle, passing around the "Cosmic Travel Log," even resorting to speed reading techniques.

The pages of the book rustled through their hands, and the astonishment on their faces grew ever stronger.

"No wonder you were gone for so long this time. You traveled so far and encountered so many things!"

Lilith was the first to put down the logbook, her face still showing lingering shock. The images of the Celestial Realm from the logbook were still vivid in her mind; countless dark golden "ascension channels," like greedy tentacles, stretched out from that colossal entity called "Celestial Realm," plunging into its subordinate worlds.

"Just looking at the pictures sends chills down my spine, yet you dare to fight against it... That's a level fourteen world!"

“Yes!” Vasita patted her chest with lingering fear. Although the log focused on the world's scenery and didn't mention the battle, she could easily imagine the danger. “Even though you've only just entered level fourteen, it's still a place with ninth-tier experts! Even if you didn't directly enter the Immortal Realm, but only acted in its subordinate cultivation world, you must have encountered a lot of trouble, right?”

“Moran,” Sylph gently put down the journal in her hand, her gentle green eyes filled with worry: “Although the journal says that the Dao Ancestor cultivators in the Immortal Realm are weaker than ordinary ninth-order spellcasters, they are still ninth-order. Facing them alone... it must have been very difficult for you, right? Have you been injured?”

Moran looked at her friends' concerned eyes, nodded, then shook her head: "We did encounter some dangerous moments..."

But then a sly and confident smile appeared on her face. "However, don't forget, I'm good at prophetic magic!"
Before each action, I would carefully consult the divination method to determine the omens, and I would carefully avoid any place where the divination indicated 'inauspiciousness'.

To be honest, although the journey was full of ups and downs, in the end it was all safe and sound, without a single injury!

"I was just about to ask you, you killed five Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators who were comparable to the ninth rank, yet you were completely unharmed. What rank are you at now?"

Lilith had been curious about this for many years, and if it weren't for the exorbitant cost of making contact across worlds, she would have asked long ago.

Vasita and Sylph also looked intently at Moran, awaiting her answer.

Faced with his friends' staring gazes, Moran touched his nose and honestly replied, "My magic level is already at the eighth rank, but some schools of magic haven't kept up. Currently, only the spatial, lightning, fire, ice, and wood-type witch magic and mage mental magic have reached the eighth rank. Most of the rest are only at the seventh rank..." (End of this chapter)
