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

Qingluan felt she was at a loss for words.

Standing beneath that magnificent and awe-inspiring disaster, she felt her own insignificance.

As if they could be destroyed and submerged at any moment, they drifted aimlessly, unsure of the meaning of their existence.

Then, as if she had suddenly realized something.

Suddenly I understood the words I had often seen and heard in the Qingyun Sect.

It is only in the face of the great terror of life and death that people can gain enlightenment, understand the meaning of existence in the world, and comprehend those profound truths that they could not understand before.

Qingluan's heart pounded wildly, feeling as if she had finally stepped into a new realm.

The so-called sudden enlightenment, the enlightenment at Longchang, is nothing more than this.

So this is what happened: the two supreme beings fought to the edge of the universe, shattering galaxies and almost obliterating the Great Dao!

This is the feeling that every gesture and movement is like the beginning of the universe, with surging chaotic power.

All the heavens and myriad paths were trampled underfoot!

In that instant, the teachings and knowledge of the Qingyun Sect exploded in her mind, and Qingluan even felt as if she were prying open the gates of a fully opened realm.

I see. I see.

Those are not descriptions; the ancient texts and secret manuals of the Qingyun Sect are not elusive riddles or allegories.

It's simply a plain sketch!

The so-called collapse of galaxies, the obliteration of the Great Dao, the surge of chaotic power, and the beginning of the universe.

All the heavens and myriad paths were trampled underfoot, rendered as mere blank sketches.

She witnessed all of this firsthand, and by piecing together all the secret manuals of the Qingyun Sect, she finally understood what the Qingyun Sect was trying to teach...

Unfortunately, Qingyun is no longer here, so it is impossible to inquire and verify this.

At this extremely critical moment, she could actually see purple lightning slowly gathering above her head.

Ascending to the Heavenly Tribulation!

Qingluan, who was still basking in the joy of her promotion, was suddenly dumbfounded.

Unexpectedly, she broke through at this time and met the requirements for promotion!

What was even more unexpected was that, even at this critical moment, with the new world nonexistent and the entire universe collapsing, the Heavenly Tribulation could still accurately pinpoint someone about to advance.

Qingluan was so angry she almost laughed.

At this time, the arrival of a heavenly tribulation is not just a timely help, it's a double blessing!

However, before the lightning could strike, the clouds were suddenly stained with black mist, and the entire thundercloud began to surge and change wildly.

To Qingluan's astonishment, it transformed into a pitch-black giant whose face was obscured—its form was that of a black Qingluan!

"Magical girl Qingluan..."

The giant black phoenix revealed a terrifying smile, "The path to immortality is severed. I have come in your body, by order of the Stone Graphite Disc, to send you into the cycle of reincarnation..."

This, this is...!

Qingluan was startled.

At that moment, she was struck by a sudden inspiration, and her spiritual wisdom instantly allowed her to review the classic texts she had read and grasp the key point!

It's a trick!

From "Perfect World".

The giant black phoenix stretched out its hand and pressed down, saying, "With the Heavenly Emperor before you, you cannot undergo tribulation to advance..."

The Flame Devouring Wave Ruler roared and shattered the black, monstrous transformation, like a giant wave casually killing an ant.

"I'm hungry—! Why, why..."

The giant screamed and transformed back into a thundercloud, releasing enormous bolts of lightning that were completely swallowed by the thunderous magma of the Three Thousand Thunderclaps, transforming into even more condensed energy that splashed onto another purple figure!

A powerful flare erupted above, forcing Qingluan to shield her eyes. The intense light was so blinding that even a magical girl couldn't open her eyes! It even caused the magic power within her to surge wildly!

Before the flare could subside, the fiery red sun above suddenly plummeted.

With terrifying speed and power, it smashed straight through the stars beside Qingluan, then tumbled and landed at the entrance of the General Administration School, coughing violently.

Qingluan turned her head and saw that it was none other than Coco.

The fiery red magic armor now showed faint traces of black, as if it had been tainted.

"boring."

A voice came from above, and Qingluan looked up.

The pitch-black aster walked step by step from the other side of deep space, each step seemingly using the Great Dao as a ladder.

It was as if she didn't need any magic; her very existence was enough to manipulate everything.

The sealing magic had little effect on her.

Although she had an irreparable scar on her face, she was otherwise unharmed, and even her black magic armor was undamaged, which was in stark contrast to Coco.

As she walked down, she didn't even look at Coco, but instead looked up at the sky and glanced at Qingluan.

"You got promoted?"

"Yes." For some reason, Qingluan answered honestly and naturally, "Watching your battle just now, I suddenly had an epiphany..."

"good."

Ziyuan asked her again, "Do you want to take the assessment?"

Qingluan was stunned for a moment. "I... I'm not the true disciple."

"Inner disciples who are capable can also participate in the assessment. The Qingyun Sect's assessment welcomes all, even magical girls from the Disaster Management Bureau, if they have the will to participate."

That's so fair.

"Ziyuan." Coco got up from the ground, staggered, and walked over. "It's not over yet."

"It's over."

"I can still..."

"I told you, pestering is boring."

Ziyuan turned her head away, her arrogant scrutiny and undisguised disappointment making even Qingluan beside her feel a little uneasy.

"You still haven't figured it out."

"The biggest weakness of magical girls is never cowardice, which is an instinctive flaw of ordinary people. Magical girls can sacrifice themselves at any time, and no matter how many times they die, they can move forward with their heads held high. Therefore, any difficulty that makes you give up yourself and sacrifice yourself is never a test."

"There has only ever been one assessment for you."

Ziyuan strode to Coco's side, touched her forehead with her fingertips, and whispered in Coco's ear, her voice soft yet icy cold, "What if the one who sacrifices is not yourself, but someone else? Can you still move forward without wavering, even if you are the only one left to survive in the end?"

"Would a magical girl who only knows how to sacrifice herself be willing to let others die for her?"

Coco bit her lip, "I..."

"Confusion has seeped into your magic, and your magic is wavering everywhere."

Ziyuan gently flicked her forehead, and Coco flew out with a bang, crashing into the school ruins and being submerged in the melted glass.

"You don't even deserve to die by my hand."

Zero points.

At first, Shion was actually quite interested.

But as the fight went on, she lost patience.

No matter how much power you display, it's meaningless. At this level, the improvement in pure power and control precision is minimal.

The techniques used are almost negligible; it's merely a display of ability.

It's just a matter of how efficient it is.

However, the influence of one's state of mind has been amplified to an unparalleled degree.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that mindset is the most important thing at all times.

However, once you reach the state of full bloom, if you waver, everything becomes a castle in the air.

Whether it's dark cocoa or regular cocoa, it's the same.

Because they cannot give up the people around them, they are bound and struggle in vain again and again in their own cycle of reincarnation.

The answer will never be found.

After flicking Keke away, she looked at Qingluan, and then her gaze fell on the mental space behind Qingluan.

It is connecting to the magical realm and slowly transmitting.

Before she could even glance at him, Qingluan stood before her and picked up her magic wand.

"I won't let you pass!"

Ziyuan casually walked over, conjuring a card in her hand. Before Qingluan could react, the card was already inserted into her wand.

【Star Pattern Descends: Myself☆Explosion】.

"There's no such card!"

Before Qingluan could finish shouting, the magic wand in her hand exploded with a bang!

The magical girl was thrown away, tumbled around for a while, and then her transformation was canceled.

But seeing that Ziyuan was about to continue to the mental image space, Qingluan got up again, grabbed the unusable magic wand, tapped it on a nearby rock, and pointed the broken wand at Ziyuan.

Ziyuan glanced at it and casually conjured a wooden sword as well.

With a loud shout, Qingluan wielded her magic wand as a short sword and fearlessly slashed down with her mortal body!

It looks like he has some swordsmanship skills. What's this called again? Satsuma Jigen-ryu?

Shion had no interest in Sakurajima's things, but her swordplay was wide and sweeping, accompanied by angry shouts, which was quite imposing and showed commendable courage.

But there are too many flaws.

Her strike missed its mark, leaving her practically a sitting duck. Ziyuan slashed at Qingluan's nape.
