The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

The boundary membrane of the Xuanling Realm is under immense pressure, unlike anything it has ever faced since its creation.

"Stop...stop! You...demons!"

The consciousness of the Xuanling Realm let out a painful wail.

However, it was met with even more intense and fierce attacks.

Everyone's fireworks and magic bullets were focused on attacking one spot, rising and falling in a continuous barrage.

As the boundary membrane of the Xuanling Realm became increasingly damaged, the world consciousness of the Xuanling Realm finally came to a clear understanding of a cruel reality.

These "extraterrestrial demons" possess power far exceeding its imagination.

Without the other party entering the world, it has no way to deal with them. If it continues to resist, there will only be one result—the boundary membrane will completely collapse, the world will be exposed to the void, the origin will be lost at an even faster rate, and it may even attract more terrifying void creatures.

"Stop...stop! Please stop!"

The consciousness of the Xuanling Realm pleaded, "I...I'm willing to talk! To talk about cooperation!"

The attack abruptly stopped.

The continuous barrage of fireworks vanished in an instant, as if they had never existed.

Only the cracked, dimly lit boundary membrane and the still lingering energy ripples in the void proved how real the devastating storm had just occurred.

Tracy flies out of the scene: "Talk? You only have two choices: sign a contract, or be destroyed."

There is no room for negotiation, and there is no second chance.

The world consciousness of the Xuanling Realm fell silent. It could sense that the terrifying beings outside had not diminished their killing intent; they had only temporarily restrained it. If it made the slightest move again, a devastating attack would instantly descend once more.

Even though the will of the Immortal Realm has the upper hand in the consciousness of the Xuanling Realm at this moment, the instinct for survival is still etched into its very bones.

If the world is destroyed, then there will truly be nothing left.

After signing the contract, although it can no longer attack these people, at least its original power will not be lost too much.

“I…I sign…”

As the will of the Xuanling Realm arrived, the contract flew towards the boundary membrane, merging into it without any hindrance this time.

After the contract was successfully signed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Don't be fooled by the dazzling fireworks and magical bombs that filled the sky during the concentrated attack, which seemed to have inexhaustible power. Everyone knew that behind every seemingly satisfying strike was a massive amount of one-time magic power burning!
Anita herself launched a firework magic bomb, each shot consuming a hundred billion mana of one-time magic power.

The level 8 Fireworks Magic Cards used by others were slightly less powerful than those cast by Anita herself, but consumed more magic power.

The cost of maintaining that kind of forceful suppression for even a second longer would be astronomical.

These magical properties are the result of their hard work and accumulation, bit by bit.

It's certainly enjoyable to spend money, but it's impossible not to feel the pinch.

The faster the contract is reached and the more they force the other party to submit, the less they will lose. The signing of the contract at this moment signifies that this costly "show of force" can finally come to an end, and the subsequent profit-making phase is about to begin.

Carmela is now at the eighth rank, and the binding force of her contract is absolutely impossible for the Xuanling Realm to break.

Once established, even if the world consciousness of the Xuanling Realm harbors deep malice towards them, it will no longer be able to directly interfere with or attack their actions in any way.

It cannot even deliberately hinder the promotion of card magic, because that would violate the terms of the contract and would be met with a backlash from the power of the rules.

Unless it is willing to bear the terrible consequences of the contract breaking and the world's origin being forcibly extracted and given to Moran and the others, it can only watch helplessly and may even have to cooperate with their actions.

With this layer of protection, everyone can safely drive their respective space travel vehicles through the boundary membrane of the Xuanling Realm and officially enter the interior of the Xuanling Realm to dock.

Next, everyone just does what they're familiar with.

After gaining a deep understanding of the world's customs, power systems, and cultural beliefs, Moran designed a localized version of the "Mystic Spirit Society" that perfectly matched the characteristics of the "Mystic Spirit Realm," and began to promote it on a large scale with the help of the power of world consciousness.

Just as everyone was preparing to go their separate ways, Moran looked at the quiet figure in the driver's seat:
"Click, was the entire attack on the Xuanling Realm filmed?"

The little skeleton nodded obediently, the soul fire in its eye sockets flickering calmly.

It raised its bony finger and tapped it a few times on the control panel, and a clear, multi-angle image was retrieved.

From the initial enthusiasm disguised by the boundary membrane, to the revelation of its true nature before the contract, to the ferocity of the concentrated attack, and finally to the scene where the boundary membrane is on the verge of shattering and the world consciousness cries out for mercy, nothing is omitted. The visuals are stable, the energy fluctuations are clearly recorded, and the overall effect is extremely impactful.

Moran carefully checked it over, and after confirming that there were no problems, he exported it and saved it with encryption.

That wasn't enough. She also took several small, portable video recorders with ultra-high-definition recording capabilities before leaving the Star Ark to meet up with Vasita and the others who had already begun their initial exploration.

"Moran, what are you doing with these?" Vasita asked curiously, noticing the several video cameras floating around her.

Shouldn't they be focusing on gathering information about the world right now?

Moran smiled slightly: "We will record the entire process of 'persuading' the Xuanling Realm by force in a clear manner. Later, when we 'visit' other spirit realms, if they are as stubborn as the Xuanling Realm was at the beginning, we can show this video to their world consciousness to 'learn' about it."

It can be considered another form of 'showing force' and 'psychological deterrence'.

Letting them witness the fate of those who resist might help them make the 'right' choice more quickly.

Let them see how the world has become a better place after the promotion of card magic, and maybe they won't be so resistant then.

Vasita immediately understood her intention, her eyes lighting up: "Brilliant! This way, we might save a lot of magic! It would be even better if we could get them to cooperate without lifting a finger; it hurt so much when we attacked them just now!"

“That’s right!” Moran nodded. “We still need to minimize the losses during the ‘persuasion by force’ phase. The magic power we save will be our capital for dealing with the Immortal Realm in the future, and everyone can earn more.”

Even the Immortal Realm itself knows how to make choices when faced with absolute power.

Not to mention the consciousness of the spirit world that, after being assimilated by it, also understands the ways of the immortal realm.

The more evil the world's consciousness, the more ruthless it will be in its pursuit of survival.

Faced with the threat of destruction and clear lessons from the past, they would understand better than any cultivator what it means to "protect oneself wisely." (End of Chapter)
