"So, my dear sisters, what do you think of the way I reshaped the world just now?"

The homebody witch sat up straight on the sofa as she posed this question.

"It was nothing short of breathtaking, akin to a miracle."

The High Priest responded without hesitation.

"Yes, just like a miracle."

The Knight Commander, always the echo to her voice, followed suit.

However, this praise was not merely flattery directed at their witch hostess; it was sincere.

Both of them were among the top powerhouses of the Moon Rabbit Race, and in terms of strength, they were not far behind the top Great Witches of the Witch World. Nevertheless, even they could not achieve the preposterous feat of reshaping the world.

For one thing, the Moon Rabbits' source of strength is the Moon Magic Power, a second-generation magic power that evolved from the Primordial Magic Power. While this strength may not be much weaker than the witches' Primordial Magic Power in other aspects, it lacks the omnipotence inherent to a Creation Power.

The Primordial Magic Power is a force only the Golden Calamity Race possesses, granting them the gift of omnipotence, whereas the Moon Magic Power of the Moon Rabbits, being of the Silver Species, is ultimately just a formidable strength.

Secondly, the knowledge required for creation is too diverse; it really is not something one person can grasp.

The Moon Rabbits did have means of creation, such as high-end Magic Guided Technology like the Star Creation Instrument. However, this kind of advanced technology has always been kept within the Royal Family and a few other major Moon Rabbit clans. For smaller clans like theirs, it was impossible to have such core technology.

When they were younger, the High Priest and Knight Commander had followed the previous Queen to study with those major clans. At that time, many of the larger clans had extended invitations to them, promising to teach them these advanced skills, but only if they left their clan to join them.

In the end, all three refused.

Alas, in this world, the most expensive and most valuable thing is knowledge, and not all Races are as open with their higher knowledge as the witches.

The witches' Magic Web Grand Library is the envy of other races for a long time. Although not all knowledge is for sale in the Great Library—personal secret techniques can be temporarily concealed—there are no high-quality secret techniques missing. There are, however, equivalent, more commonly used spells available. As long as one has points, they can be exchanged, which is already enviable.

And even for secret techniques, they are not permanently hidden. All secrets have an expiration date, after which they become public. Although this may actually signal that the spell might be outdated, it's still far better than other races having nowhere to learn such outdated spells.

So, if we're talking only about Magical Power, the High Priest and Knight Commander could rival the top Great Witches. But if it really came to a fight, a top Great Witch might be able to defeat both of them with one hand.

After all, their method of getting stronger by self-exploration is really no match for the witches who have the luxury of backing from superior knowledge; their difference in combat magic might not be much smaller than that between primordial humans and modern humans' equipment. Who knows how many versions behind they actually are.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many from the otherworldly races daydreaming about becoming dogs to the witches, when a bit of knowledge casually passed down by the witches could be greater than decades of blind pondering by otherworldly races.

Thinking of this, both the High Priest and Knight Commander couldn't stop the envy in their eyes. Who in the entire Western Universe doesn't covet the witches' knowledge, even the Three Calamities do, alright.

When the witch hostess showcased her knowledge and skill during the earlier reshaping of the world, even the learned High Priest largely failed to comprehend.

As for the Knight Commander, being a Martial Artist, she had coveted the witches' combat techniques for who knows how long.

"What if I told you that what I just demonstrated was actually the witches' civil engineering technique? Would you believe me?"

Seeing the envious looks on the faces of the Moon Rabbits, Dorothy decisively began to tantalize them with prospects.

By her side, Mia, Audrey, and Alice, upon hearing this, looked at her simultaneously, each wanting to speak but stopping themselves.

Really, they couldn't bear this any longer, as they were unaware that civil engineering had become so terrifying.

But after giving it some thought, they were astonished to realize that it might indeed be so, as Dorothy was certainly a newcomer to the field of civil engineering. The knowledge she'd created could theoretically be considered part of civil engineering techniques; there was nothing wrong with that...

Tsk, it could only be said that this individual had single-handedly raised the entire bar for witches in civil engineering, leaving other civil engineering witches crying in the toilets.

It's just that the Three Witches were in the know, which didn't mean the Moon Rabbits were as well. Upon hearing Dorothy's tease, the High Priest and Knight Commander were stunned.

"You witches call creation of the world civil engineering? Is there some sort of misunderstanding with civil engineering here?"

The two Moon Rabbit bosses exchanged looks and saw confusion in each other's eyes.

"So do the two sisters still find it hard to accept construction work? Please believe me, this really is a career with limitless prospects, and what awaits us is undoubtedly a blue ocean."

The homebody witch continued to paint an attractive picture.

Cough, cough, the matter of construction work isn't about selling dreams; this is about stating facts. She really hasn't told a single lie, okay?

Even the High Priest and Knight Commander had been bewildered by Dorothy, and although these two Moon Rabbit bosses were cunning and adept at seeing through lies, they didn't feel the slightest hint of deception from the witch in front of them.

So, is construction work really such a noble profession? Isn't it far more impressive to create worlds than to half-heartedly swing around on the battlefield?

For a moment, their hearts were somewhat swayed.

Miss Moon Rabbit looked up at the ceiling of the Royal Palace, thinking of her own Queen Mother.

Mother, I have to say your prophecy was truly amazing; this King really is a big con artist.

Typically, Sidwell would often hear these elders scolding her for being silly or stupid, but now...

Heh, seems like you smart ones got tricked just the same, not much smarter than I am.

With such schadenfreude, Miss Moon Rabbit continued to watch the spectacle while munching on melon seeds.

On the other side, seeing the bait working and the fish about to bite, Dorothy quickly delivered the final blow.

"So are the two sisters still willing to learn civil engineering with me? If you are, we can discuss the upcoming training."

"Training? What do you mean?"

When they caught on to the implications in Dorothy's words, the High Priest and Knight Commander suddenly became excited.

Although the witch had spoken eloquently and made the witches' civil engineering sound divine, other than feeling impressed, the two of them hadn't given it much thought. After all, how did the witches' civil engineering concern them, if you're not going to teach us?

But no sooner had this thought flashed by than Dorothy's bait had been cast, hitting right where the itch was for the Moon Rabbit big sisters—they lost control and let down their guard, falling right into the homebody witch's rhythm.

Just thinking about them also having a chance to learn that almost miraculous Creation Power, the High Priest and Knight Commander immediately cast aside their elite dignity and noble glory.

It's just construction work, right? Fine, we can do it, we can even lead the work; we love construction work the most.

Seeing the fish finally biting the hook, Dorothy revealed a smile but wasn't in a hurry to answer.

She just stood up, walked to the reception room's window, and admired the view outside.

At this moment, the sky over the Royal City was distinctly divided into two parts, one side was where she came from—sunny and clear, while the other was the world she had yet to rebuild—overcast, filled with the pall of death.

"While reshaping the world, I realized something: an individual's strength is limited. No matter how powerful I am, my strength is finite. I can't save your world by myself, so..."

"Shall we do it together? I think it's better to save your own homeland yourselves. If you truly want to learn construction work with me, then this will be your homework after the lessons. I wonder if the two sisters will find this too difficult?"

She turned back and pointed to the distant apocalyptic scene, asking thus.

... The homebody witch waits...
