The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

With the rich experience accumulated in the lower cultivation world as a reference, the promotion of card magic in the Xuanling Realm proceeded smoothly without any unexpected events or setbacks.

There were only three things that truly took up Moran and the others' energy.

The first step is to design cards for the "Xuanling Academy" in accordance with the style and aesthetics of the Xuanling Realm, thereby increasing the acceptance of the Xuanling Academy by the local intelligent races.

Secondly, the pricing of cards is finely adjusted based on the investment in the early "forceful persuasion" phase and the number and quality of potential mages in the world.

Moran would never do a losing business.

The greater the investment in persuasion by force, the higher the cost of "conquest," and the higher the cost that needs to be recovered through card sales later.

Time is also a cost; if we want to start making a profit as soon as possible, the card price must be increased.

Of course, the price cannot be raised indefinitely. It is necessary to recover the initial investment as much as possible and maximize profits, while ensuring that the development of the magical civilization of the entire Xuanling Realm is not slowed down too much by the high price of cards.

High prices can stifle development and negatively impact long-term returns.

Third, based on everyone's initial investment, we will calculate everyone's share of the card magic rewards.

In the process of "persuading" the Xuanling Realm by force, the magic power invested by each participant, the special cards consumed, and even the strategic value provided will be converted into "contribution points". Then, according to the proportion of this contribution points, 1% of the total card magic revenue of the Xuanling Realm will be divided.

For the vast majority of participants, they cannot, like witches, create cards from their unique magic imbued with the power of rules and sell them. The 1% share of profits they receive is their main reward for participating in the operation.

Although it seems that each world can only receive 1%, and it will be redistributed proportionally again, making each person's share seem smaller, the number of worlds they can participate in the distribution has increased. Moreover, the target is all the spirit worlds. The foundation of the spirit world is far superior to that of the cultivation world, and the number and aptitude of potential mage practitioners on average are also higher. The potential market for card sales will also be much larger. Little by little, the total amount will eventually be much greater than when everyone was limited to the cultivation world.

The benefits also incentivized everyone to participate in subsequent actions.

The witches, on the other hand, benefit from this double advantage.

Besides receiving a 1% share based on their contribution, an even more important source of income is the ability to list their own unique witch magic cards in the Xuanling Realm's card shop.

As for Moran, he made a fortune.

First, 99% of the total revenue from each world card magic belongs to her personally.

This is what she deserves as the creator and mastermind behind the card magic.

Secondly, even with the 1% that was distributed to everyone, she accounted for the highest contribution rate and got the largest slice of the "cake" thanks to the massive number of high-level magic cards she provided during the "persuasion by force" phase.

It is worth mentioning that with the promotion of the "Mystic Spirit Society", the world consciousness of the Mystic Spirit Realm has also begun to change.

In the past, cultivation resources, whether they were spiritually rich blessed lands, rare natural treasures, or profound cultivation techniques and secret manuals, were monopolized by powerful sects and intricately connected families. It was extremely difficult for lower-level cultivators and mortals to obtain even a little bit of them, and they often had to pay the price of dignity, freedom, or even their lives.

The resulting struggles, infighting, and bloodshed have permeated the entire history of the Xuanling Realm.

But once you embark on the path of magic, everything changes.

The Mystic Spirit Academy has become the sole and fairest channel for acquiring resources. Whether it's basic meditation techniques, advanced spell structures, casting skills, or even other magical resources, everything is clearly priced in the Academy's shop and can be purchased using permanent spiritual power or gem coins exchanged for one-time spiritual power.

The monopoly has been completely broken, and the upward mobility channels have been fully opened. How much resources you can obtain no longer depends on your background, mentor, or opportunities, but purely on how much surplus spiritual power you have and how much effort you are willing to put into cultivating it.

Every intelligent being stands on a relatively fair starting line.

As long as you are diligent enough and have enough talent, you can climb up step by step according to the clear levels set by the Xuanling Academy.

Vicious struggles stemming from knowledge monopolies and unfair resource allocation have decreased at a visible rate in the Xuanling Realm, until they have almost disappeared.

When everyone has a visible, tangible path to self-improvement that they can achieve through their own efforts, the hostility in society will naturally decrease significantly.

Moreover, when designing the {Knowledge Card} system for the "Mystic Spirit Society", Moran did not only include magical knowledge, but also cleverly incorporated a selection of content on equality, independence, freedom, friendliness, rational thinking, and peaceful coexistence.

This knowledge, like a gentle spring rain, subtly influences the new generation of spellcasters who are beginning to come into contact with the Mystic Spirit Society.

The social atmosphere around the world is shifting towards a more peaceful and rational direction.

All of this has been clearly reflected at the level of world consciousness.

As an aggregate of global collective consciousness and rules, the tendencies of global consciousness are deeply influenced by the overall state of the mainstream intelligent beings within it.

As the intelligent beings of the Xuanling Realm shift from the oppression, strife, and despair of the past to the hope and peace of the present, the elements of plunder, oppression, and strife that were instilled in the world consciousness by the celestial realm gradually dissolve.

The world consciousness of the Xuanling Realm has also begun to slowly shift from the evil camp to the neutral camp.

This inner transformation is visually manifested on the outer boundary.

When the Xuanling Realm completely transformed into a magical world, the dark golden light on the boundary membrane had faded to almost invisible.

Instead, the boundary membrane itself has a pure gray-blue luster, and this luster is becoming brighter and more stable. The influence of the celestial realm on it has become so weak as to be negligible.

Just as Moran and the others were preparing to set off for the next spirit realm, a wave of consciousness, completely different from before, contacted them.

"Thank you... I... have never felt so good."

This time, its gratitude came from the bottom of its heart.

It sensed the world's reshaping and stabilization, and even more so, it felt that the heavy shackles from the celestial realm that had bound it for countless years had been completely shattered.

It was truly reborn.

The entire process of the Xuanling Realm—from its forced submission to the radical transformation of its internal social structure, and finally to the rebirth and heartfelt gratitude of its world consciousness—was captured completely and clearly by the Starry Ark. (End of Chapter)
