Starting with magical girls, I'll reign supreme for eternity.

The organ hesitated for a moment, "We can give you directions, but to leave safely, you need a key. I don't have a key, so you'll have to find it yourself..."

Then Shion pointed to South China below and asked, "Will the methods of the Mirror Kingdom work?"

"Letting a corner of the world fall is like tearing down an entire wall of a door," the organ honestly replied. "You can get out, but the house will collapse prematurely..."

After a moment of silence, Shion nodded. "As expected of Itaun."

Although it's unclear how she obtained information about the world beyond the Heavenly Barrier, it's remarkable that she started planning this in such a short time—or rather, much earlier—to destroy the New World and travel beyond it.

The Mirror Kingdom's technology differs from that of magical girls, coupled with her bold and meticulous plans.

They even found a way out before I did.

If their paths hadn't diverged, Ziyuan would indeed have been willing to address her as a fellow Daoist.

Ziyuan turned her head to look at the organ below, whose face was full of worry. "Since you intend to ask me for help, have you prepared the reward and assistance beforehand?"

"Huh? The reward for magical girls saving the world isn't a smiley face..."

"That's enough, you're trying to fool a child." Ziyuan paused. "Since I don't have the key to get out and there's no reward, I might as well just go and join the Kingdom of Mirrors. With my credit there, I can get a marquisate."

The organ cried, "No, the whole world is waiting for you, why did you have to say such dark things..."

"Even Mu Jin has honestly prepared a reward, do you really think you can get something for nothing?"

"Who is Mu Jin..." Feng Qin muttered, then her timid expression turned melancholy. "I have partial access to the New World. This access was something we all worked hard to obtain. In the end, everyone trusted me, relied on me, and gave me this access, making me the leader of the Dream Incubators..."

"Is it possible that people just don't want to suffer here, so they dumped this troublesome job on you?"

Ziyuan said expressionlessly, "What power do you, the leader of the Dream Incubators, actually have? How many people under your command are willing to obey your orders? And what privileges have you enjoyed?"

The organ, which had been lost in its memories, froze for a moment.

Then she immediately lowered her head and said, "Isn't it fine? Anyway, I'm very useful!"

Without further hesitation or regret, Fengqin took off the ring and handed it to Ziyuan. "This is it. Use it carefully. If you accidentally tear the world apart, it might never be able to be restored..."

Before she could finish speaking, Fengqin saw Ziyuan put on the ring.

This time it wasn't just South China; West China, North China, East China, overseas countries—the entire planet collapsed together!

"what!!!"

A piercing scream shattered the chaos. Fengqin knelt on the ground, hugging Ziyuan's legs, looking at her with teary eyes, "What, what are you doing! Why did you deliberately tear the world apart!"

"If it doesn't break, it won't stand."

"It's impossible to rebuild! Shouldn't you be taking it upon yourself to protect all living beings in the world? Aren't your friends and family still in the world? How come you turned your back on me as soon as you got the authority..."

Ziyuan gave a cold laugh, "Or are you just waiting for me to turn on you?"

The organ was completely dumbfounded.

"You don't really think you can fool me, do you? With such power and authority, how could you possibly be such a spineless coward? Pretending to be sweet to gain trust and then betraying me in the end—do you think you're the only one who would do that?"

"The Yuanfu Fraud Group and the Chusheng Civil Engineering Group are notorious. Don't think I'll look down on you!"

She thinks too highly of me.

For a moment, Fengqin actually felt a little happy. Although she didn't know what those companies were, she realized that she was so amazing in their eyes.

However, he was quickly rendered helpless by the collapsing world below.

The Dream Incubators' entire life was gone just like that...

I was so angry at the little purple figure that I almost fainted.

But I'm such a coward that I'm not even slightly angry.

The accordion just rolled around on the ground crying and screaming, begging Shion to stop...

"Don't embarrass yourself," the bear hair accessory finally couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Look down there."

Fengqin quickly got up, tears streaming down her face, and looked down.

The situation in South China has come to a standstill.

Chang Geng, which was originally tearing South China apart, began to unleash astonishing magic, desperately pulling at all the remaining leaves outside South China, trying its best to prevent the world from collapsing!

"Only if the world is maintained can they control South China to go beyond the world."

The bear-shaped hair accessory's tone held a hint of fear. "If the whole house collapses, they won't be able to get out! Now is the time for them to prevent the world from collapsing!"

The little bear hair accessory exclaimed excitedly, "The offensive and defensive strategies have diverged!"

"So what do we do next?"

"You're asking me?"

Ziyuan looked down at Chang Geng, her pupils slightly surprised.

Transformation into a Divine Being, Mid-Stage.

……

Looking up at that somewhat unfamiliar face, Mu Jin was momentarily lost in thought.

She still remembers the last time she met Chang Geng.

This friend, who stole technology from the Land of Mirrors and paved the way for magical girls in South China, has been almost completely mutilated by the Mirror Beasts.

At that time, the hibiscus was not yet in full bloom, but only at the peak of its full bloom. The endless A-level mirror beasts of the Mirror Kingdom alone could cause her considerable trouble.

Moreover, the Mirror Kingdom is constantly evolving and developing, and has already created the prototype of an S-class disaster beast.

At that time, the sun had disappeared from South China; every day was filled with chilling rain.

Before that, Chang Geng always asked her when she could see the sun—there was no real sun in the Land of Mirrors, and after Chang Geng came to South China, there was never a sun in South China either.

The sky is always overcast when I look up.

Mu Jin once told Chang Geng that she would not risk her life for South China.

Her hometown is in the North Sea, and she must go home eventually, so she's just stalling for time while the headquarters sends more magical girls to deal with the Mirror Kingdom.

Chang Geng always mocked her for being afraid of death, saying that she was a coward despite being a magical girl.

But no one says magical girls can't be timid, right?

Chang Geng always teased her, yet he was also forgiving of her. "It's alright. After all, the disaster in South China was caused by our Mirror Kingdom, so I will take responsibility. I will also make sure that Mu Jin returns to the North Sea!"

Chang Geng has always been a man of his word.

So, on the day the S-class calamity beast from the Mirror Kingdom attacked, Chang Geng had a big fight with her and kicked her out.

Tell her never to come back.

Mu Jin thought she was just having her period and getting irritable, so she went out and bought an ice cream.

I want to live a long and healthy life.

When Mu Jin discovered that the S-class disaster beast had returned, Chang Geng was lying in the red-stained rainwater, her face covered in dirt—but she was a germaphobe.

Let alone rainwater, Chang Geng would complain if someone spoke even slightly loudly on a normal day.

Although she was still very angry, because Chang Geng had said such nasty things, Mu Jin still went over and wiped her friend's face.

Make sure she's clean.

Unfortunately, half of its face was bitten off, and glass was inserted into its other eye.

I can't be as vain as I used to be.

This is the Mirror Kingdom's revenge, a retribution against the girl who betrayed her country and identity.

Even when Chang Geng was barely breathing, he could still manage a smile: "Didn't you go to buy ice cream?"

"We've already finished eating."

"Why come back? We're not friends anymore, we've broken up."

"I just came to make fun of you. Look at you, you usually throw a tantrum if I touch you without washing my hands after using the toilet, but now that you're this dirty, you still tolerate it, hehe..."

"That's a really awful laugh, my friend. When did your laughter become so awful? Were you crying?"

"You're overthinking it. Eating too much ice cream will upset your throat."

"Are you smiling through your tears right now? I really want to take a picture and show it to others."

"Idiot, it's the ice cream I brought you, it melted because it was so hot."

As his breath completely disappeared, Chang Geng could only murmur, "Your ice cream is so warm."

At that moment, she could only choke back tears, tightly embracing her friend's body, offering explanations she couldn't hear.

"After all, it melted."

Not long after that, Hibiscus entered Mankai and sealed the Mirror Kingdom.

In fact, she broke her promise to Chang Geng, after all, she had promised Chang Geng that she would eventually return to Beihai alive.

However, in order to seal the Mirror Kingdom, Mulan could only gaze at her homeland from the sea before losing her life.

There was no need to confide in anyone about things from the distant past, not even to An Shiyu; she had never told them.

I find comfort in the occasional songs sung by the magical girls of South China praising Chang Geng.

The path of the magical girls of South China was constructed by Chang Geng using the system of the Mirror Kingdom.

In the shadow of that Mirror Kingdom, a time when magical girls could not be born in South China.

Grasping the newly appeared card-insertion magic wands, the girls, driven to the edge of despair, stood between the Mirror Beasts and their home in their incomplete transformations without seeds.

The fading light serves as a link, passing down from generation to generation.

Until the light is perfected by the next miracle.

Even though they are gone, they always leave something behind, proving the value and significance of their efforts and sacrifices...

"Chang Geng!"

In that instant, the images that flashed through my mind had already lasted for more than ten minutes.

A rich aura of fully unleashed magic, destructive power in every gesture, and a completely different temperament.

That aloofness and arrogance made him seem like a true citizen of the Mirror Kingdom.

The body still possessed that magic power; everything that Mu Jin's eyes could see denied that the person before her was Chang Geng.
