Chapter 809 – Three Thousand Mirror Ruins 76

Only after successfully claiming ownership did Mo Lan understand what being a Mirror Lord truly meant for a mirror space.

She couldn’t help but recall her experiences inside the Gushing Spring Forest Sea and Ice Lake Plateau mirror spaces.

Taking transformation potions to alter her appearance, using Witch Magic to fight mirror beasts… At the time, she had checked that no one else was around and thought herself perfectly safe. But now, thinking back, if the Mirror Lords of those mirror spaces could perceive everything within their domains as clearly as she just had, then her secrets might have been exposed long ago!

“Fortunately…” Mo Lan silently breathed a sigh of relief.

That extremely detailed microscopic perspective consumed an enormous amount of psychic power. A Mirror Lord wouldn’t—and couldn’t—maintain it at all times.

The current state of vague, macroscopic awareness was the norm. At most, one could grasp the overall condition of the mirror space and immediately detect any serious problems.

But as for which specific flower a butterfly had landed on, which leaf a beetle was hiding under, or which Mirror Explorer had killed a mirror beast—unless the Mirror Lord deliberately focused their perception, none of that could be sensed.

“It seems I wasn’t exposed before,” Mo Lan concluded.

Otherwise, given a Mirror Lord’s absolute control over their own space, anomalous energy fluctuations would have appeared around her long ago, or she would have been directly located and questioned. Things would never have remained so calm.

A Mirror Lord was an invincible existence within their own mirror space.

“From now on, I need to be far more careful when using transformation potions and Witch Magic inside owned mirror spaces… No, unless it’s absolutely necessary, I shouldn’t use them at all.”

Mo Lan silently cautioned herself.

After all, she now had the moss-covered forest mirror space. If she wanted to practice Witch Magic, she could do it in her own mirror space.

Although the moss-covered forest mirror space was only a seven-star mirror space, that star rating was based on the highest rank of mirror beasts within it.

All mirror spaces in the Three Thousand Mirror Ruins had internal energy levels consistent with this world’s level, capable of supporting magic up to Sixth Rank.

With a thought, the silver leaf-shaped mirror shard in Mo Lan’s hand instantly transformed into a streak of flowing light, sinking into the space between her brows and settling firmly within her mental sea.

As a Mirror Lord, storing the claimed mirror space’s core within one’s mental sea was the safest and most convenient method.

Having done all this, Mo Lan once again activated the leaf-shaped mirror shard within her mental sea.

This time, using her Mirror Lord authority, she clearly perceived three naturally formed connection passages between the moss-covered forest and the outside world.

The one at the underground snow cavern pond beneath the Ice Lake Plateau was among them, and it was the only one that had ever been discovered and activated by someone.

Now, if she wanted to leave, she no longer needed to follow the transfer passage’s scheduled opening times.

She also had no intention of returning to the Ice Lake Plateau mirror space.

Knowing that Mirror Lords had means to monitor conditions within their mirror spaces, Mo Lan decided she would no longer reveal abilities beyond what her current identity should possess while inside owned mirror spaces.

With her current Three-Star Second Stage level, exploring a seven-star mirror space was still too much of a stretch. She might as well stay in the moss-covered forest mirror space and wait for Mirror Ruins University to begin.

Of course, these naturally formed transfer passages also needed to be dealt with.

Nobody wanted their home to have holes that anyone could walk through.

Through the leaf-shaped mirror shard in her mental sea, Mo Lan severed all of the moss-covered forest mirror space’s external passages.

From this point forward, the moss-covered forest mirror space was completely sealed.

Unless Mo Lan, as Mirror Lord, actively created and distributed specific teleportation gate mediums, no one could ever find its entrance again.

Of course, this didn’t prevent her from using the purple star mirror emblem here to teleport to the mirror space where Mirror Ruins University was located.

After that, Mo Lan enjoyed a period of undisturbed time.

She took out the entire stack of books and materials distributed by Mirror Ruins University and studied them carefully, one by one.

Following that, she began practicing magic while also systematically hunting the mirror beasts within the moss-covered forest.

Even if she would need to place some mirror beasts into card-created mirror spaces in the future to enrich their ecosystems, she wouldn’t need this many. Reducing the mirror beast population in advance would make large-scale transfers much easier later on.

Time flew by amid study and practice.

Finally, the day of Mirror Ruins University’s opening arrived.

Right on time, the purple star mirror emblem on her arm emitted a faint but persistent warmth, alerting her.

Simultaneously, the emblem’s teleportation function activated.

Then, following the methods recorded in 《New Student Must-Read》 and 《Mirror Emblem User Manual》, she channeled a thread of psychic power into the emblem and clearly recited the command in her mind: “Teleport to new student registration.”

In an instant, a gentle yet irresistible spatial power enveloped Mo Lan’s entire body.

The next moment, the surrounding scenery shifted dramatically. Mo Lan found herself standing in an extraordinarily vast, brilliantly lit Great Hall.

Behind her was a dense sea of heads like a surging tide. Whispered conversations merged into a low, droning hum. Looking out, there appeared to be several thousand people.

At this time, everyone appearing here was undoubtedly a new student enrolling this year.

In the entire Great Hall, only she and another girl beside her who appeared to be around the same age were seated in conspicuously purple chairs.

And they were in the very front, occupying an entire row by themselves.

All the other new students sat in uniform sky-blue chairs.

This stark color contrast made the two of them stand out like cranes among chickens, instantly becoming the focal point of the entire hall.

Countless gazes projected from behind them, focusing on the two girls seated in the purple chairs.

Mo Lan could even feel the girl beside her tense up slightly.

Just then, a familiar figure ascended the elevated platform at the front, and the previously noisy Great Hall quickly fell silent.

“Hello, new students,” her voice carried clearly to every corner of the Great Hall through magic. “I am the Director of Admissions, Linna.”

“Welcome to Mirror Ruins University, as you embark on a new chapter of your lives.

I won’t waste time with unnecessary words. The moment you arrived at Mirror Ruins University, your specific dormitory assignments and class arrangements were already sent to your mirror emblems. You can check them at your leisure.

If there’s nothing else, you may use your mirror emblems to teleport to your dormitories.”

The moment she finished speaking, the girl next to Mo Lan hurriedly pulled out a piece of paper.

In the blink of an eye, she had vanished from her seat.

She looked quite like someone fleeing in a panic.

Mo Lan had no desire to stay here being stared at like a spectacle either. She quickly checked her mirror emblem space.

“Dormitory Assignment: Purple Wisteria Court, Top Floor, Room 2”

Just as recorded in 《Mirror Emblem User Manual》 and 《Teleportation Map》, once a student officially entered Mirror Ruins University’s spatial domain, all public teleportation points marked on the map became fully accessible to them.

She immediately recalled all the teleportation point names for Purple Wisteria Court from 《Teleportation Map》.

Then… “Teleport to Purple Wisteria Court, top floor!”

The moment the teleportation command was issued, Mo Lan vanished from her seat.
