After moving the blue tile to the front and plugging it into the system's interface, Mu Jin directly stuffed a large number of files from the system into it. "Anyway, I don't know which ones are their research materials. I've packed them all for you. Once you're out, you can find someone knowledgeable to analyze them."

After clapping her hands, Mu Jin, who had finally accomplished her mission, was about to get up.

A dark figure suddenly appeared beside her, startling her.

Just as she was about to call out, Ziyuan appeared in front of her, pulled her up, and shielded her behind her.

Hiding behind Ziyuan, Mujin paused for a moment.

As a fully-powered magical girl who's used to fighting alone, the feeling of being protected is still quite strange...

So she whispered to herself, "Hey, An Shiyu, I think I'm going to fall for her too, what should I do..."

Then he laughed and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, I won't steal it from you..."

If she were alive, she would never have dared to laugh and joke in the face of danger, but standing behind this purple figure...

I felt completely safe, so naturally I didn't care.

Upon closer inspection, the dark figure standing there startled Mu Jin.

"The Mirror King?"

Ziyuan turned her head and glanced at her. "You know her?"

"Uh, the last enemy I killed was the one." Mu Jin looked left and right before realizing, "It's a projection?"

"That's right, it's a projection."

The Mirror King, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, "When you see this projection, it means that the real me is dead, and the century-long plan of the Mirror Kingdom has failed."

"That's not right, is it?" Mu Jin frowned. "Didn't you die a long time ago?"

“Every Mirror King has two lives.” The Mirror King walked forward. “The fact that you can see me means that I have died twice.”

Mu Jin immediately tugged at Zi Yuan, "You ran into her on the way?"

"I didn't know, I didn't notice," Ziyuan said indifferently. "I didn't find anything special."

The Mirror King waved his hand, and suddenly the entire mirror space of the backup system transformed into a magnificent palace.

"A long, long time ago..."

"Shut up."

Ziyuan immediately interrupted her, "Nobody wants to hear your story."

The Mirror King was momentarily at a loss for words. "But you also want to know the secrets of the Mirror Kingdom, don't you..."

"Not interested."

Hibiscus whispered beside her, "What if it's related to full bloom?"

Ziyuan tilted her head slightly. "That's worth a listen."

King Mirror immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "A very, very long time..."

"You're planning to start from the beginning of time? Cut it down to under a hundred words."

Mu Jin chuckled dryly beside her, "Anyway, let's talk about things related to magical girls."

The Mirror King nodded before continuing, "The Mirror Kingdom was once a prosperous and abundant world, just like yours. We mastered magic very early on, using it as an energy source to rapidly develop our nation and benefit the world. Among them, beings named Alice were born. Like your magical girls, they possessed miracle seeds and could transform into magical constructs, possessing immense power. However, unlike you, they didn't have the concept of 'fully awakened'..."

Noticing that Shion's gaze was gradually becoming more agitated, Mirror King immediately increased his speed:

"Then one day, from an unknown time, magic could no longer be generated. No matter how hard the people of the Mirror Kingdom tried, they could no longer produce magic. What's worse, not only was magic depleted, but other energy sources also became unusable. The kingdom suddenly faced destruction."

Mu Jin asked curiously, "Why?"

"I don't know. We tried everything we could, but we couldn't solve the energy problem. Then, by chance, we discovered your world."

Ziyuan said expressionlessly, "Oh, what a coincidence."

"...Judging from past records, it is indeed a coincidence." Finding it unconvincing, the Mirror King quickly changed the subject. "Therefore, in order to continue its existence, the Mirror Kingdom had no choice but to begin trying to make contact with this world..."

"Oh, I had no choice, oh, I tried to make contact."

King Mirror was speechless for a moment.

“…Uh, there’s no need to be so aggressive.” Mu Jin coughed. “I’ve heard about these things from my friends. The Mirror Kingdom has its own difficulties, and they’re not all bad guys.”

"Oh, different perspectives."

"..."

Hearing that Mulan and Jingwang were silent, Ziyuan glanced at them and said, "What's wrong? Continue."

"How can anyone say that?"

Mu Jin sighed, "In any case, there are many people in the Mirror Kingdom who aren't bad, like Chang Geng..."

"Is this your reason for only sealing them away and not killing them all back then?"

Mu Jin cautiously looked up at Jiang Si, "Are you angry? I admit there might have been some oversights back then, but, but at that time we had just entered the Mankai realm, we couldn't really kill them all, our friend is still in the Mirror Kingdom... I'm sorry for leaving you with such a troublesome mess, don't be angry, okay?"

No one can blame you.

Shion shook her head and said, "How you deal with the Mirror Country is your freedom, and it's a right you earned through your own strength."

"Haha, it wasn't that great, but I was indeed very capable back then..."

"He's just a little stupid."

The previously smug Mu Jin immediately wilted. "Alright, alright, I guess I was stupid... Anyway, I still think it would be great if the Mirror Kingdom could obediently join us and live with everyone."

Finally, Mirror King, who had been silent all along, spoke up, "That's what we think too."

"Actually, we initially tried to make peaceful contact, asking for a territory to develop independently, but we were refused..."

Mu Jin was taken aback. "Oh, is that so?"

Then the Mirror King waved his hand, and the projected image showed the conference room where the Mirror Kingdom and the Disaster Management Bureau had spoken.

"The Disaster Management Bureau sternly rejected us. They believed we posed a great risk and could only enter this world one by one, with no more than three people in a group..."

The Mirror King said somewhat indignantly, "The Disaster Management Bureau has accepted people from another world and allowed the three of them to act together, so why can't our Mirror Kingdom?"

“Other worlds?” Shion raised an eyebrow. “Tell me more.”

"Well, we don't know which world it is either. Anyway, it was the Alices of the Mirror Kingdom who discovered it. People from other worlds got here before us and reached a cooperation agreement with the Disaster Management Bureau. That's why our Mirror Kingdom wanted to negotiate with the Disaster Management Bureau for a piece of land, but the Disaster Management Bureau refused because they thought the Mirror Kingdom was dangerous..."

Hibiscus, standing nearby, remained silent after hearing Mirror King's words, her expression unchanged, only glancing at Ziyuan.

The petite girl in purple had a serious expression, and seemed just as shocked by this history as she was.

What is Ziyuan thinking about now?

……

Is this already the beginning of entering the vast world?

Shion frowned slightly. The Mirror Kingdom already seemed to be an independent world, and now another independent world had appeared.

That doesn't make sense. According to the usual pattern, one should only realize that there are mountains beyond mountains and people beyond people when they reach the top, with one world within another.

Then the strongest in this world ascends to the next level to mine.

The vast world has come so quickly, I haven't even reached the Dou Di level yet...

Is my promotion rate too slow?

If we start counting from the beginning of my cultivation—no, from the beginning of my physical cultivation—it has already taken me more than ten years.

It is indeed a bit slow, and most of the physical advancement was completed within these two weeks.

If you put it into online novels, you could say it's a case of extremely low talent.

We need to work even harder. Once we enter the vast world, it will probably be everywhere, and we won't be able to keep up with the version soon.

At that point, we might find ourselves being bullied again...

Ziyuan was deep in thought, looking quite serious, and neither Jingwang nor Mujin dared to interrupt her for a moment.

It took her a while to take a breath, and she stopped thinking about the world around her.

"So you've confirmed that the Disaster Management Bureau's decision was correct."

Ziyuan's reply also made Mujin nod in agreement.

She had witnessed firsthand the tragedies that the Kingdom of Mirror had caused in South China.

Although he couldn't bring himself to kill everyone in the Mirror Kingdom, his friend had already proven that not everyone in the Mirror Kingdom was bad.

However, for Mu Jin, it was absolutely impossible for her to believe that the Mirror Kingdom was innocent.

Whether it's the Mirror King, or those harmful Alices, Hibiscus herself has indeed killed quite a few...

"It cannot be denied that the Mirror Kingdom was already in a very critical moment at that time. After being rejected, it wanted to seize its own living space in its own way, but it caused you huge losses and troubles. I am really sorry."

The Mirror King bowed deeply, tears streaming down his face. "But we are truly at our wits' end. Mulan, you have friends in the Mirror Kingdom, so you should know that the Mirror Kingdom is truly desperate, which is why we chose this method. We hope you can give the Mirror Kingdom another chance, just one. When you sealed the Mirror Kingdom, wasn't it because you hoped that the Mirror Kingdom could live in peace with you in the future?"

Mu Jin's expression was complicated. "We really hope that everyone can live together peacefully..."

King Mirror finally breathed a sigh of relief, his face filled with emotion, "Thank you so much..."

"However, the decision-making power is not with us now."

Mu Jin tugged at Zi Yuan beside her, "We used to have the power to give you opportunities because we had the strength to bear the consequences, but now we don't have that strength anymore, so the decision-making power is naturally no longer with us."

Ziyuan glanced at Mujin, who was using An Shiyu's face, with some surprise, and nodded, "This child is teachable."

I thought this magical girl would continue to be naive.

Hibiscus smiled at the compliment, then shrugged. "Anyway, you'll have to ask Shion."

King Mirror stood there, stunned, and had just turned his head away.

With a casual wave of her hand, Ziyuan unleashed a surge of purple magic that instantly engulfed the entire space!

They returned to the mirror space of the backup system from the projection showing the suffering of the Mirror Kingdom.

The Mirror King's projection was also torn apart.

"There's no need to beg anymore. It's useless anyway. In our cultivation world, there's no such thing as letting a tiger return to the mountain."

Mu Jin opened her mouth slightly, then sighed.

He apologized to Chang Geng in his heart.
