With the miniature little banner leading the way, Reji's exploration in this soul space became much easier.
Moreover, this little Banner did more than just lead the way. It seemed to want to make amends and passed on all the intelligence it knew to Reji in one go.
After Reji summarized and absorbed it, a simple analogy would be...
The relic's main body currently in the hands of the Crown Prince, the Banner of Command with the ability of a "Squad System", was used by the Crown Prince as a huge server.
All the subjects in the Mage Nation were formed together by the Crown Prince and made into a huge... Human-array computer.
Ordinary people or nobles in the Lower Senate had no right to access the internal network of this computer and could only serve as resources.
Only the governors bestowed with a "mask" by the Crown Prince could have a small part of the right to use this computer.
The soul space he was in now was actually equivalent to the intranet of the computer.
And the "mask" was the login device.
Wearing the "mask", he entered the soul space through the mask, which was equivalent to logging in with an unfamiliar IP. It immediately aroused the vigilance of the relic and was regarded as a virus invading the computer. This was why the previous scene of the miniature little Banner aggressively coming to check on him played out.
The miniature little Banner in front of him was a differentiation of the relic's main body.
Of course, the result of the virus check was also clear at a glance.
It directly defected, And handed over all the above "internal data" to Reji.
Overall, it was similar to the intelligence provided to him by the previous high-level Star Spirit and the Second Prince.
But there were still some places worth Reji's attention.
Through the miniature little Banner, Reji could "browse" information and see some memory images related to the Crown Prince and the "Banner of Command".
Among them was the scene when the Emperor bestowed the relic upon the Crown Prince.
In the majestic hall supported by twelve pillars with different patterns, the silhouette sitting high on the throne at the top of the steps was shrouded in shadows, but through the memory, Reji could feel the Crown Prince's deep awe towards his "father".
The Emperor explained to the Crown Prince in detail the function and usage of this "Banner of Command" relic, showing that he was extremely familiar with the Hero's relics.
Of course, the relic was not bestowed upon the Crown Prince for nothing. The purpose was to let the Crown Prince use the relic to maintain the "psionic wall".
In the memory, the Crown Prince had asked the supreme existence on the throne about the purpose of the psionic wall and what exactly it was blocking.
After all, the Empire at that time had already dominated the world.
And the answer given by the Emperor was...
"Our Nemesis".
The Crown Prince in the memory was very confused. Although Reji also found the term "nemesis" a bit strange, it should refer to the Demon Race here.
This also indirectly proved that his caution at the beginning was not wrong, and the Wisdom Demons' vigilance was not fighting against the air. The true higher-ups behind the humans, at least the successive "Emperors", had never forgotten the Demon Race and even always regarded them as... nemesis?
With the miniature little banner leading the way, Reji could move unimpeded in the soul space.
Any checkpoint was a green light all the way.
During the journey, Reji could see that it was really like a network, and each densely packed little light spot that made up this "soul network" corresponded to a subject connected in the Mage Nation.
And the final destination of all the light spots' connections...
The Star Spirit Queen.
She could be considered the super AI of this "computer".
Her current appearance was not the kind of light sphere commonly seen in Star Spirits.
Instead, she still had a human-like form.
However, she was magnified several times and looked like a small mountain in this soul space, and...
Her appearance was quite miserable.
Those thin lines connecting the subjects of the Mage Nation were plugged into the body of the magnified Star Spirit Queen like wires.
Now, almost every part of the Queen's body was filled with complex and numerous lines that could not be counted, like a computer host.
If the Crown Prince wanted to use the relic before, he would have to bear the soul power of the millions of subjects connected in the relic.
But now, with the Star Spirit Queen as a "concentrator", he only needed to give orders to the Queen alone, which was equivalent to the Queen bearing the pressure of the relic for him.

In the soul space, the tall Star Spirit Queen in front of Reji had her eyes tightly closed with painful expression.
As if in endless torment, wishing for death.
At this moment, a faint voice came to Reji's ears.
"...Find me... from the material plane..."
"Release... liberate..."
"I will give you... a reward..."
These intermittent whispers undoubtedly came from the Star Spirit Queen.
Although she still had her eyes tightly closed, she should have sensed his arrival and thus sent out a call for help.
However, this Star Spirit Queen seemed to have underestimated him a bit.
If Reji wanted to, he could actually directly cut off the lines that bound and imprisoned the Star Spirit Queen in the soul space and sever her connection with the relic.
But after thinking about it, Reji still did not do so.
