The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Just as the energy stone's light dimmed to its lowest point, the beam of light enveloping Moran and Alfred disappeared, and the resonance device stopped operating.

"Stop...stopped?" Tobias stammered.

"Has it run out of energy?" Viola squinted and leaned closer to take a look.

“No…” Celestian’s voice rang out, “There is still a trace of energy.”

Tobias let out a long sigh of relief and wiped away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead: "Phew... finally reached the limit! That scared me to death, I thought she was going to use up a whole energy stone before stopping!"

He subconsciously thought that Moran's mental energy had finally reached the saturation point, triggering the instrument's protection mechanism.

Moran sensed the energy flow that brought the inherited memories disappear and opened his eyes with a sense of lingering regret.

She looked around and felt slightly puzzled as she met the gazes that were focused on her, filled with shock, inquiry, and disbelief.

"Have I reached my mental limit?" Moran asked uncertainly. "I don't seem to feel uncomfortable... but the transmission of knowledge seems to have stopped."

“It’s not that your mental strength has reached its limit,” Alfred’s voice rang out. This old elf, who had lived for over eight hundred years and witnessed countless storms, looked at Moran with an extremely complex expression.
"I simply don't have any more memories to pass on to you right now."

I am eight hundred years old this year, and I am only one step away from becoming a level 19 demigod.

With the increase in strength and the accumulation of time, I have unlocked nearly 90% of the inherited memories of the Sunfire Spirit.

I've already shared it all with you.

He stared intently at Moran: "You received the inherited memories that I spent eight hundred years gradually unlocking and digesting all at once, and... you seem to be handling them with ease."

I have no doubt that if my level is high enough, you are fully capable of receiving the entire legacy of the Sunfire Spirit in one go!

An uproar erupted in the courtyard.

All the elves were shaken to their core by Alfred's words!

"What? All the inherited memories have been unlocked? You accepted them all at once?!" Tobias jumped up, his eyes wide with disbelief.

"Molan, don't you really feel like... your brain is about to explode, and there's so much information about it that it's about to overflow?" another mid-level Star Elf asked in a trembling voice.

Every time he unlocks a new inherited memory or receives a small fragment of inherited memory shared by others, he suffers from headaches for ten days to half a month. He can't even imagine how terrifying the information torrent is when the inherited memory of a level 18 Sunfire Elf is condensed into a single transmission.

Moran shook her head seriously: "No. I even think... we could have a little more."

She genuinely found those memory fragments incredibly easy to process, experiencing a similar exhilarating feeling to when she was copying magic books at the witch academy.

It would be great if we could have some more...

Everyone felt a sense of suffocation.

"Let me share with you!"

Viola's eyes blazed with intense curiosity. Before anyone else could react, she walked straight to the sharing device of the resonance device and signaled Celestian to prepare.

Celestian forcibly suppressed the turmoil in his heart; he was also eager to know where Moran's limits truly lay.

Was it just that Alfred's inherited memories were simply hitting her limit, or... was her limit truly unfathomable?
He quickly took out a brand-new energy stone that radiated a full glow and restarted the resonance device.

The beam of light shone again, connecting Viola and Moran. This time, it ended a little faster.

But compared to others who share their inherited memories each time, it's still surprisingly slow.

After the beam of light dissipated, Viola was the first to open her eyes. Her usually expressionless face now clearly showed a hint of stagnation and confusion.

She looked at Moran, then at Celestian, her voice a little dry: "I've shared the parts of my inherited memories that I've unlocked with Moran."

She was considerably younger than Alfred, and her professional rank was slightly lower. She had unlocked a relatively smaller total amount of inherited memories, but they were still knowledge that he had spent hundreds of years gradually unlocking and digesting.

The newly replaced energy stone is almost out of energy again, which shows that the amount of inheritance shared this time was indeed very large.

"Moran, how are you feeling?" Celestian's voice carried a tension he himself was unaware of.

"It seems alright." Moran looked at Celestian with some anticipation.

Now all that's missing is the Star Elf's inherited memories.

Celestian, seeing her still-wanting expression, took a deep breath: "Then, it's my turn."

He went to the sharing end and replaced Viola.

At the same time, he placed all the remaining energy stones in his hand onto the resonance device: "The Star Elves have made great progress in their magical research over the years, and their inherited memory capacity is greater than that of all other elf branches combined. If you feel uncomfortable, I will stop in time..."

The resonator activated for the third time, and the beam of light connected him with Moran.

This time, it took an unusually long time.

When the beam of light finally dissipated smoothly and the resonator stopped operating, the energy stones Celestian had placed inside dimmed considerably.

Celestian slowly opened his eyes, his face showing a moment of disorientation.

Moran also opened her eyes at the same time.

The Star Elves truly deserve to be the race that leads the development of magic in the entire world of Thran; they have inherited so many memories.

She looked at Celestian: "The achievements of the Star Elves in magic are truly amazing!"

Nature Elves focus on studying the power of nature, Corona Elves focus on studying the power of light, and Shadow Elves focus on studying the power of shadow. Only Star Elves focus on studying the power of stars while simultaneously pushing the cultivation of mental power to its extreme. Even humans, who have better talent in mental power, are not as good as them in this respect.

Moreover, the Star Elf inheritance memories received also contained a portion of spell structures deduced from the magic network spell model, as well as a large amount of magical theoretical knowledge.

This suggests that the Star Elf is still, like the ancient High Elves, dedicated to researching the underlying principles of various forms of magic, and even attempting to create new magic.

On her very first day, she had already achieved so much, proving that her prediction before deciding to come to Quellariel was worthwhile.

Celestian paused:

"Your mental strength is also astonishing...it's even beyond my comprehension. May I ask how you cultivated your mental strength to this level in such a short time?"

The power of the stars is widely recognized as having the best effect on nourishing and training mental strength, and we Star Spirits have focused on this for generations.

But… even the most profound spiritual cultivators of my clan that I know of could not possibly possess such vast spiritual power as you. This is simply… illogical. (End of Chapter)
