As pioneers, we always encounter unexpected difficulties.
There are all sorts of questions that you can't find answers to by asking someone else.
The only way is to look for similar situations in classical texts, and then try them one by one to see if they are feasible.
Opening up a major road is always much more difficult.
The idea that an unstable Golden Core could lead to an automatic transformation is practically impossible to find, no matter how hard you look.
To prevent any disturbance in Beihai, Shion gently slashed her dragon claw through the air, and a door opened up amidst the rippling water nearby.
He entered the Main God Space, then his personal space, and began to study his current situation.
"Is this situation unsolvable?" the Little Black Dragon, still helping the Emperor control his power, whispered. "If you don't give up on this damn Golden Core, it seems like you'll remain in this unstable state indefinitely, boss."
"Ignorant child," Shion said calmly. "Judging from ancient records, it's mostly a matter of controlling power."
"This also allows you to use historical examples to support your arguments—"
"After all, countless instances of losing control due to forces exceeding one's own capabilities have occurred."
In her Dragon Lord Shion state, it's alright; she's essentially still a magical girl, just with added power, so her control over magic remains highly precise.
However, after exiting the transformed state, Jiang Si's control over magic power is not as precise.
After all, the original body had more limitations in controlling magic power, which is why once the power of the constantly circulating Golden Core overflowed, it would cause the physical body to change directly.
"What needs strengthening is my physical body's control over magic power." Shion's gaze sharpened. "Next, you will continuously use the essence of the Golden Core to impact my physical body."
Having said that, he deactivated his transformation once again.
The Emperor hesitated for a moment, but still did as Jiang Si said.
Then, as expected, when the elixir of the Golden Core and the three-in-one magic power were not injected with a strong sense of Personal Reality, the three-in-one magic power would not become Divine Sense and begin to impact Jiang Si's body. Once Jiang Si began to resist the spread of power and transform.
The physical body immediately began to tremble violently!
The Emperor could even feel his body being torn apart and destroyed, with the magic causing damage directly from his internal organs.
When Jiang Si could no longer hold on, she transformed again, covering up her previous injuries.
"Again!"
The immense force instantly ruptured the internal organs.
"Again!"
Half of his body was a bloody mess.
"Again!"
Perhaps I really don't know him well enough.
Looking at Jiang Si, whose skin was torn and bleeding under the combined magic of the three, with almost no part of him intact.
The Emperor suddenly realized this.
Previously, when he asked me to do something as dangerous as controlling the Golden Core, perhaps he didn't have any malicious intent, nor did he intend for me to die.
That's simply how Jiang Si herself got through it.
Because that's how I've been through it, I naturally feel that others should do the same.
Judging others by one's own standards, that's all.
"Again!"
In the final surge of power, his skin and blood vessels burst, revealing his bare bones. Bathed in blood, the boy, seemingly a blood-soaked figure, simply smiled nonchalantly.
"It seems that's how it is."
She transformed again to refresh her state, and after the transformation ended, this time she was no longer allowed to manipulate magic to attack her physical body.
"Has he always been like this?"
"It's always been like this."
The Emperor smiled with relief, "Then I can rest assured."
I understand him a little better now.
Since a small amount of dissipated magic power could transform him, Jiang Si decided to use a large amount of magic power to test the problem and figure out how to control the magic power to prevent automatic transformation.
Once you gradually master the knack, you start to observe the flow of magic power that usually dissipates, and adjust the precision and direction of your control.
To avoid automatically transforming.
While Jiang Si was still further investigating the reason why she couldn't control her transformation.
The Demon Squad from the Main God Space has finally rejoined the team.
Having just completed their mission, Ruoyun, Hyacinth, and Helen all looked exhausted, while Ruoyun remained somewhat dazed.
A short while later, Mila, the only resident in the Main God Space, poked her head out from Helen's private space.
Although Mila later entered the Main God Space, she has been building instances within the Main God and has not yet completed any missions.
Upon seeing the team members return, she immediately waved excitedly and greeted Helen and Ruoyun —she hadn't even noticed Jiang Si coming over earlier.
"Family members, my new video has surpassed 10 million views!"
Helen just lay on the ground. "Here we go again. I'm telling you, don't think you can get by in the Holy Church like you did in the Witch Association, relying on self-media to smear the Azure Cloud Sect. I've been fed up with you for a long time. Everyone else is working themselves to the bone, and you just talk the talk."
"We self-media creators work very hard too, okay?"
Mila served tea and water to the team members – after all, even when she wasn't on missions, it was better to contribute some effort on a daily basis.
To avoid being optimized by the Demon Squad.
"Since entering the Main God Space, I haven't had a moment's rest. Not only have I been helping the Holy Church create the initial instance of the horror movie, but I've also been editing promotional videos for the Holy Church according to Captain Ruoyun's instructions! I'm working from dawn till dusk every day, and the pressure is immense."
As she spoke, Mila played a video she had made for her teammates.
It wasn't just propaganda for the Holy Church; it also included attacks on the Witch Association.
Team member Mila is most skilled at manipulating public opinion.
He single-handedly brought the reputation of the Azure Cloud Sect to rock bottom, and had several short videos with over 100 million views, making him a force to be reckoned with online.
"You've worked hard." Although Ruoyun was somewhat absent-minded, she still offered a word of comfort.
Mila waved her hands repeatedly, "It's alright."
Then I felt a bit emotional.
When Mila started promoting the Holy Church and criticizing the Witch Association, she realized how miserable her past life had been. Back then, when facing Azure Cloud, she was able to create many sensational videos by relying on baseless rumors and gossip, stirring up hostility among a large number of netizens and making them hate Azure Cloud to the core.
Even today, some netizens, influenced by her, spontaneously slander and attack Azure Cloud every day.
This was still like trying to cook without rice. It wasn't until she arrived at the Holy Church and started making videos for the Witch Association that Mila realized how incredibly satisfying it was to have rice to cook.
Human experimentation, contamination of magical girls, murder.
I have way too many cards, the Witch Association!
She can't keep up, she can't possibly keep up. She can make a different video every day. Unlike when she was making negative videos about the Azure Cloud Sect and the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau at the Witch Association, which was harder than constipation, making videos is as smooth as having a bowel movement now. She's really enjoying herself.
This further cemented the Witch Association in online public opinion, turning them into pariahs. Whether they were moderates or radicals, they were all condemned to die!
With nothing else to do, Helen through the comments section of Mila's video.
"Are you all so shocked? I thought this was common knowledge. Some people wrote articles exposing the true nature of the Witch Association before the new year—"
"I discovered it a long time ago, but many people have been brainwashed too much. The Witch Association controls online public opinion even more tightly than the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau. Last time I said that the Witch Association do evil things, no one believed me and I even got attacked."
"Everyone knew it was awful, but no one expected it to be this awful! In an instant, everyone connected the dots. We'd always thought they did things strangely, but now we finally understand—that's what they're like! Everything makes sense, everything makes sense—"
Seeing a bunch of netizens expressing their fear, Helen climbed onto a nearby chair and rolled her eyes. "You hired online trolls, huh?"
"You know how to seize the high ground in public opinion, right?" Mila didn't Helen, who was also a traitor to the Witch Association' Guild, a friendly look. "Do you even know what propaganda is? Some battles don't even need to be fought on the battlefield; they're over on camera, little girl."
"Gossip."
"Idiot!"
Watching the two hurling insults at each other, Hyacinth suddenly became curious, "How much profit can they possibly make?"
After stopping arguing, Mila smoothed her hair. "Well, it's not certain yet. The Disaster Countermeasures Bureau has recently launched an incentive program for sharing information about exposing the Witch Association's malicious activities. The Witch Association also had an incentive program before, but it ended up with all the money going to debt, and some even reported the videos and had them taken down, so they didn't get any money at all. We don't need to worry about the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau."
Hyacinth exclaimed, "No wonder it's the Witch Association."
The three of them chatted on and on about the main direction of their upcoming publicity campaign, which would still focus on promoting the Holy Church.
After all, as the captain of the Demon Squad, Ruoyun had always wanted to expand the scope of the Holy Church's business.
While the tasks issued by the Main God are certainly good, there aren't actually that many tasks. The Main God's points can't be exchanged for money most of the time, and some of the Main God require purchasing items – the Holy Church Walker does charge money.
So Ruoyun thought she should just go out and take on missions, mainly missions from the Old World, but now she was also looking to take on some missions from the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau or even Azure Cloud.
When the conversation turned to the Azure Cloud mission, Ruoyun suddenly stood up.
The three of them fell silent and turned to look at their captain.
" Hyacinth, remember to bring Coral back to the Holy Church and don't let her run off again."
After confirming that her parents had been looking for her, Coral went home crying.
Hyacinth nodded. "Okay, Captain."
Their gazes were filled with anticipation and curiosity as they awaited Ruoyun's next move.
After arranging for Helen and Mila to leave, Ruoyun walked straight to the door of the Holy Church Walker's Attendant.
The Main God Space is growing larger and larger, and everyone's private space is like a small house. Except for Mila, who doesn't have enough points and is currently living with Helen, everyone else lives in their own room.
Ruoyun was standing in front of the door, took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
"Is the Holy Church Walker here? I am Ruoyun."
Helen and Mila both peeked out from their separate spaces, secretly watching their captain.
There is only one person in charge of the Demon Squad, and that is Ruoyun.
Ruoyun who brought up the entire Demon Squad, and Ruoyun also the one who actually took on missions and controlled the entire Demon Squad's operations.
Ruoyun's strength, judgment, and even organizational skills are respected by everyone. It was Ruoyun's decision to keep Mila from going out on missions and focus on making promotional videos and the initial dungeon of the Holy Church.
The Holy Church Walker doesn't have much control over the Holy Church; most of the work is actually done by Ruoyun.
Therefore, when Ruoyun stood at the door of the Walking Master, the three of them reacted differently.
Hyacinth: "Good fortune is coming!"
Helen: "Seriously? They're going to do this again? Surely the Demon Squad isn't going to leave the Holy Church?"
Mila: "What's going on? What's going on? I smell big news!"
Just as the three were talking at once, a voice came from the personal space of the Holy Church Walker, which immediately silenced them.
"Come in."
As soon as Ruoyun went inside, the three team members quietly approached in unison, pressing their ears against the door.
As soon as Ruoyun entered, she froze, staring at the Holy Church Walker Attendant whose face was stained with blood, and for a moment forgot what she was going to say.
What are you doing?
"Lord Holy Church Walker— " Coming to her senses, Ruoyun uttered the phrase subconsciously, then gave a self-deprecating laugh, "Or would it be better to say Lord Si Motu, or Mr. Jiang Si?"
"As you like."
"Then, what about Miss Shion?" Ruoyun asked, emphasizing each word. "Sect Master?"
Mila and Helen exchanged bewildered glances, then Mila whispered, "Holy crap, I once fought a deadly battle head-on with Shion, the sect leader of the Azure Cloud Sect, and escaped unscathed!"
"You're just bragging. I claim to suppress the entire Beihai."
Hyacinth pressed down on the two people's heads to stop them from getting in the way, her face pressed tightly against the door, as if she wanted to squeeze one of her eyeballs through.
Dead Eye, why isn't it X-ray vision?
I'm so anxious because I can't see their expressions.
"Anything is fine."
Jiang Si's response remained devoid of emotion.
Ruoyun bit her lip and then slowly knelt down.
Jiang Si, who was still pondering how to stabilize her transformation, glanced at her.
" Ruoyun truly cannot repay the kindness of the Sect Master. After much thought, this is the only way I can express my gratitude. Thank you for Ruoyun promotion and help. I am deeply grateful, Sect Master."
Jiang Si raised an eyebrow. "Oh."
"If it weren't for the sect leader taking in my teacher Bai Mei and teaching Bai Mei sword intent, Ruoyun might have already become a corpse under the Witch Association. After that, although Teacher Bai Mei was very, very good, and Shuiling and Qian Jing were also very, very good, Ruoyun was unable to make any progress in that environment."
Some people are suited to an academic approach, while others are better suited to a hands-on approach.
Jiang Si could tell at a glance that Ruoyun was a promising Seedling for practical application.
Although it's only now that I realize it, it doesn't mean he had a premonition back then.
This child is destined for greatness!
"It was because the sect leader took in Ruoyun under the guise of Holy Church Walker that Ruoyun found her direction. Through these missions, she continuously improved her strength, broke through her limits, and made many more friends."
The Hyacinth outside felt a slight warmth in its heart as it heard this.
That's right, they're good friends. It's precisely because we have such a good relationship that I want to see my friend make a fool of themselves and have fun.
" Ruoyun has never regretted entering the Holy Church!"
"Good."
Bang!
Startled, she suppressed her emotions and looked up blankly at the Holy Church Walker.
Under the massive shockwave of transformation, the person before them transformed into Dragon Lord Shion.
I can't look at it directly anymore----
Not only could she not look directly at it, but the emanating, Filthy Magic Power was so immense that Ruoyun could hardly lift her head.
Ruoyun was about to say something, suddenly found herself choked.
He opened his mouth for a long time, but couldn't say a word.
"What's wrong?" With her tail swaying gently behind her, Shion simply said, "Continue."
No, looking at this face, there are some things I really can't say.
Jiang Si then deactivated her transformation, Ruoyun breathed a slight sigh of relief. Regardless, she still had to finish her sentence: "So, Ruoyun— "
Bang!
The boy in front of her transformed again, and the immense pressure once more choked her to breathe.
Then, as if nothing had happened, he deactivated the transformation.
I've always felt that—
Bang!
It's transformed again.
I'm so glad----
Bang! The transformation is over.
"Join the Holy Church ----"
Bang!
When will this ever end?!
As Ruoyun watched the transformed Holy Church Walker, she began to consider the possibility that he was deliberately trying to intimidate her.
Seeing that she was no longer talking, Dragon Lord Shion became impatient. "Can't you just speak your mind?"
Could you please stop changing size so arbitrarily?
Ruoyun, who was almost out of breath, was on the verge of collapse.
All the emotions that had been building up were completely shattered!
But she still gritted her teeth.
"Therefore, Ruoyun is very fortunate to have joined the Holy Church, Mr. Jiang Si, I!"
When the opponent deactivated their transformation again, making an explosive sound, Ruoyun inexplicably thought of a part of her teacher's novel from the past.
The transformation was like Thunder, a deafening roar that shook the heavens and the earth—Jiang Sanbao!
She raised her voice, forcefully drowning out her own chaotic thoughts, and the voice of the Holy Church Walker reverting to his original form. "I want to stay in the Holy Church forever! I want to be part of Demon Squad for life!"
Helen and Mila were both very excited and nodded repeatedly.
They survived only because of the Demon Squad. Once the Demon Squad disbanded, they would be purged and have nowhere to go. Now, hearing that the captain planned to form the Demon Squad for life, they were both moved to tears.
My future is secure! This is even more reliable than taking the civil service exam!
Hyacinth's expression, which had initially been one of amusement, softened into one of relief and acceptance, and she gently curled the corners of her lips into a smile.
She knew Ruoyun wouldn't let her down.
True happiness comes when things aren't going to get worse.
Because fun is born for happiness and joy, and is meant to dispel the meaning of emptiness and suffering.
"So, regardless of your true intentions, whether you're just building this Holy Church for fun or not, and you don't care about us at all, and are ready to abandon us at any time!"
Ruoyun's voice was high-pitched, like a roar.
"I will stay in the Holy Church. If the Holy Church and the Main God Space are real, I will make them better; if they are fake, I will make them real! This time, I will not rely on others, nor will I beg for their trials and blessings."
This time, Ruoyun raised her head and stared at Shion had suddenly transformed again, for a moment before pausing.
4
"I will create my own destiny through my own efforts."
Ruoyun clutched her heart tightly. " Holy Church Walker Attendant, Si Motu, Mr. Jiang Si, Miss Shion, this is my thought. No matter how you laugh at me in your heart, no matter how disappointed my teacher is in me, no matter how insignificant I am, no matter how difficult the future may be, I will definitely walk the path I have chosen, and I will never regret it!"
She gasped for breath, bracing herself for the mockery and belittling she would receive, even contemplating the possibility of being expelled from the Holy Church.
But she had to speak out; even if she was driven away, she would use her own strength to continue creating the Holy Church in her heart.
No one says that one's fantasies can't come true.
The person in front of us has already done enough.
Weave a beautiful and happy dream for yourself, and even if it shatters, you shouldn't complain. Instead, it's your turn to personally weave the dream that continues!
" Bai Mei's disciple."
However, they suddenly heard the sect leader say calmly, "Not bad."
In fact, I was mentally prepared for all sorts of challenges.
However, this completely unexpected praise instantly shattered all her defenses and preparations.
The loss of control over my emotions happened very suddenly, and tears just started flowing.
There was no crying, nor did Ruoyun seem to want to cry. She frantically tried to wipe it clean, but she couldn't manage it at all.
The more it flowed, the more it seemed to accumulate. Even as he forced himself to calm down, he managed a composed and mature response to the Holy Church Walker.
However, her voice still trembled. "No, Ruoyun is far from it. She's just a rebellious disciple, unworthy of being Teacher Bai Mei's student, and even less worthy of Azure Cloud— "
"From now on, he can hold the position of Holy Church Walker."
Jiang Si casually tossed her the key to the Main God Space, "Never forget the resolve you have today. With this heart, you can seek the Great Dao."
Ruoyun kowtowed sharply, "Thank you, Grandmaster!"
" Ruoyun will certainly live up to your expectations, making the name of the Holy Church resound throughout the world! Becoming the glory in your heart!"
Holy Church Glory!
Jiang Si didn't say anything more. She handed over a portion of the compressed World Bubble to Ruoyun and Helen, asking them to find and create ways to preserve the World Bubble for a long time. She also listened to Ruoyun's future development strategy.
Expanding the Main God Space, establishing more teams, and recruiting and selecting Holy Church Member are all part of the plan to develop in accordance with Jiang Si's original vision, with the goal of leading everyone beyond the world.
Ruoyun and the others also seemed to have seen the World Tree.
Jiang Si, quite satisfied with this, said nothing. After assigning tasks and reminding them not to forget the creation of the Void Mirror, she was about to leave when Hyacinth approached.
" Ruoyun is such a good child. For me, the greatest joy is watching them struggle and writhe in adversity, and then move forward stronger. That brings me more happiness than anything else."
Jiang Si glanced at her. "Aren't you supposed to protect all magical girls?"
"Even if I give it my all, my power is negligible. So, I want to see magical girls grow up to have the power to protect themselves. How about that? Doesn't that dream seem more realistic now?"
"Whatever you want."
"However, I'm sorry, Miss Shion." Jiang Si didn't transform, but Hyacinth called out the magical girl's name directly, "I might not be able to continue pursuing my dream of protecting you as well."
"Why?"
"On one hand, I really can't tell you're a magical girl," Hyacinth remarked, then tilted her head and blinked her empty, grayish-white eyes at the boy. "On the other hand, more than protecting you, I now want to have my dreams protected by you, just like Ruoyun."
" The Holy Church does not provide childcare services."
Ignoring the regretful Hyacinth on Hyacinth's face, Jiang Si left the Holy Church.
Having almost managed to suppress the magical girl's automatic transformation, he planned to go home and say hello to Keke first.
As I jogged home from the city center, it was already dawn.
They ran all the way to the crossroads, to the spot where the White Fox had been standing. An Shiyu had already taken the White Fox home, so she wasn't worried about the girl's condition.
I need to find a way to stop the ghost marriage in the Land of Mirrors. If the ghost marriage goes through, my attempt to annul my engagement will be completely ruined. I also need to find a way to get the White Fox to master the power of a magical girl, and then get a Full Bloom spot from the Prince to give her a chance for revenge.
There's quite a lot to do.
As I was making plans in my mind, I saw elementary school students running towards me.
That was Li Yi before she transformed, also known as Yinlian. She was wearing a tracksuit and looked like a sporty girl, probably going for a morning run—the tracksuit looked like hers.
While he was still wondering about it, Li Yi also saw him, her eyes lit up, and she immediately waved.
"What a coincidence, Jiang Si ----"
However, before she could finish speaking, a dark force flashed by.
Jiang Si has inadvertently transformed into Shion once again.
Li Yi froze.
She immediately maintained her smile, lowered her hand, pretended not to have seen anything, and casually walked past the Dragon Lord, who was a horn taller than her, and jogged away from the roadside.
"Excuse me, I've mistaken you for someone else—"
That's a bit forced.
