Chapter 311: The Most Pointless Spell in the World Has Been Born
“Great Spell…”
Hearing what the Illusionary Clone said, my thoughts immediately became lively; this Illusionary Clone really dares to think big!
This is the Great Spellbook! Previously, I had unconsciously overlooked this existence, but the Illusionary Clone brought it up without hesitation.
At this moment, my contemplation wasn’t whether to use this Great Spellbook, but rather pondering why I even considered not using it.
You could say the Illusionary Clone awakened me.
Since I gained insight into certain matters earlier, I noticed I seemed to have started to align with some of the actions of the Illusionary Clone. Perhaps that is the most authentic me, the true self I’ve always been afraid to face.
I was worried about the potential problems of using the Great Spellbook, most of which stemmed from what the Academy Head had told me—the value and significance of the Great Spellbook and its absolute confidentiality that no one could disclose. Because of this, I didn’t even mention it to Sister Bai.
However, from an objective standpoint, this is one of the means I control myself. Since it’s a means, as long as I can pay the corresponding price, what is there to not use it?
All of this primarily comes down to a matter of mindset—timidity, cowardice, fear—these are the main sources of my concerns.
The Academy Head didn’t say I couldn’t use it; she even encouraged me to use it against those Fool Dreams. She only sealed the Great Spellbook to tell me not to misuse it.
At this moment, I was already in this Dream World, and not to mention the seal had vanished, from another perspective—what if this was part of the Academy Head’s plan?
Doesn’t the Academy Head love to be cryptic?
Saying nothing entails risks; I don’t believe that the Academy Head couldn’t reach me in the Dream World at this moment. She already mentioned she could keep the Dream Demons invading the Dream World out of the Witch Academy, which says a lot.
Perhaps I underestimated the Academy Head’s role as a player in this script.
Maybe the Academy Head isn’t playing on the chessboard of the script; she’s swinging the board at people.
“What? Haven’t you thought it through yet? It’s just a Great Spellbook; don’t take it too seriously. It’s just a diamond-studded tool. Do you want to worship it? Or should you bow to it?”
“What you say is still so sharp.” I laughed self-deprecatingly.
“Of course, I know what we are. If I don’t curse a bit harder, you won’t even know what repentance means,” the Illusionary Clone said, glancing at Bai Yu. “Hey, Sister Bai’s facial cleanser feels good, doesn’t it? Just knowing how to sneak a taste, I don’t think we’ll ever have a chance to confess to her in our lives.”
“Enough, stop talking!”
“If you like her, go tell her! What’s the point of just teasing? Who are you showing that teasing to?”
“Alright, the other me, your time for free activities and talking is up.” I pouted and reached out to slap the Illusionary Clone.
“Coward…” the Illusionary Clone didn’t forget to taunt me at the last moment.
But at this moment, the departure of the Illusionary Clone wasn’t without meaning; many seemingly absurd decisions were made with great determination, just like right now.
I wanted to explore whether the Great Spellbook created in the Dream World… could truly make the spell effects permanently exist?
“Xiao Han, you just…”
“Sister Bai, do you really think I’m a coward?” At this moment, Bai Yu suddenly engaged in conversation, making me subconsciously ask.
“Coward? Wait, Xiao Han, why are you asking this all of a sudden?”
“Oh, it’s nothing. I was just thinking too deeply; pretend I didn’t ask.” I shook my head.
“Xiao Han is definitely not a coward. If you are still a coward like this, then what about others? Would others jump in like you, come to the Dream World, and think about doing all sorts of great things here?”
“Hahaha, that makes sense.” With Sister Bai’s affirmation, I suddenly felt hopeful, and the last trace of hesitation in my heart vanished. “Sister Bai, I might make some big moves later, or nothing might happen at all. Just don’t worry about me.”
“Wait a minute, Xiao Han, what are you going to do?”
But before Bai Yu could clarify, I was already prepared, and my attention was completely focused on the Great Spellbook and the Grand Wisdom Enlightenment Spell.
Just hearing this name gives a hint of a spell’s effect; it’s definitely not just a spell meant for Fool Dreams; it can accomplish more.
Let me personally experience the effect of being enlightened.
As the Grand Wisdom Enlightenment Spell was triggered by my mental power, it awakened like a long-sealed ancient artifact at this moment, grasping every bit of magic from my Magic Source, swallowing it whole like a greedy beast.
At this moment, the regulation of spellbook levels based on magic consumption seemed like a joke in front of the Great Spellbook. It craved a primal energy sufficient to activate its minimal functioning like a gigantic beast.
And the nearly two thousand units of my Magic Source were drained cleanly in an instant.
The Grand Wisdom Enlightenment Spell looked disappointed at the completely empty plate as if it had just tasted an appetizer; finally, a force began to surge, as if reluctantly.
“This is… the spell’s… emotion?”
I couldn’t believe I was feeling what seemed like an illusion just now. Ultimately, I calmed down; that wasn’t emotion—spells aren’t alive. This was merely my own fantasy, suggesting that I wanted to drive the Great Spellbook while still too limited.
However, the spell effects that appeared in the spellbook seemed to indicate that I had succeeded.
When I controlled that surge of energy rushing towards me with the Great Spellbook, in that moment, it felt as if I had bathed in sunlight after the chill of wind; it was a sense of my spirit being nurtured and purified bit by bit. My originally chaotic thoughts began to clear up, like peeling layers from an onion.
What mattered most wasn’t the clarity of the result, but rather the process of feeling those layers being peeled away—saying it was enlightening wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
I felt as if I were in the universe, my body losing weight, almost inadvertently comprehending some profound truth. A suggestion led me to ponder, to wander freely, creating waves in thoughts filled with philosophy and dialectics.
The problems that had troubled me seemed to unravel effortlessly, but the answer slipped away again the next moment, that answer taught me how to grasp it rather than wait for it; it taught me how to seek reconciliation amidst contradictions.
“Xiao Han… Xiao Han…”
A distant and urgent call touched my consciousness at this moment, pulling me from this seemingly profound insight.
“Mm… mm?”
My vision slowly began to recover, and the scene before me became clearer, my body’s sensations also returning.
“Sister… Bai.” Seeing that familiar figure again felt like a long time had passed. The feeling of enlightenment had made me lose track of time, as if I were submerged in endless truths.
“Xiao Han, did you do something stupid again? Why take such risks?”
“It’s… it’s fine…” At this moment, I reached out to comfort Bai Yu’s worried face, but my hand was pressed down. Only then did I realize I was in Bai Yu’s embrace.
“What just happened to me? I didn’t pass out again, did I?”
“You still ask? I want to ask you! You really did pass out just now. You don’t want to k*ll me with worry, do you?”
“How could that be?” I struggled to sit up but subconsciously took a few breaths in Sister Bai’s embrace. It smelled like her.
“I just used some means and worried Sister Bai; please don’t blame me anymore, alright? I wouldn’t joke about myself.”
“If you do that again, I… I’ll have to punish you!”
“Punish? As long as Sister Bai is willing… then you can choose any punishment you want~” Even at this moment, I got a little cheeky.
“Just kidding, Sister Bai, I’m sorry.” After breaking free from Sister Bai’s embrace, I turned and got close to her, then sincerely apologized.
“You… sigh…” Seeing Xiao Han, who was bowing his head and apologizing in front of her, Bai Yu found any words of blame caught in her throat.
“Sister Bai, please forgive me…”
“There’s nothing to forgive; I’m just worried about you. You have to take good care of yourself!”
“So you don’t blame me then~” I raised my head to meet Sister Bai’s somewhat dazed expression.
Then I fully relaxed and lay on the nearby big bed.
“Huh? Xiao Han, you?”
“The me just now didn’t simply pass out!” I just briefly responded to Sister Bai’s curious inquiry but didn’t explain further, “Give me some time, okay? Sister Bai.”
“Mm.”
Hearing Sister Bai’s agreement, I felt as if I had no more concerns, closed my eyes, but I wasn’t reminiscing about the earlier experience.
If you ask what change the Grand Wisdom Enlightenment Spell brought me just now, I could only say… it seems there hasn’t been a change.
But it felt like everything had changed.
The previously mysterious state was useless for me; on the contrary, that was a kind of self-depleting state I fell into because I couldn’t bear the enhancement brought by the enlightenment, only in this way could I balance the effects of the Grand Wisdom Enlightenment Spell.
But if you ask me what the spell effect of the Grand Wisdom Enlightenment Spell is, I can only say I don’t know; there are too many things in the world that can’t be described in words, yet everything seems to undergo a tremendous transformation.
Now, looking back at my situation, I could only sigh… relief.
It seemed that I was no longer relying on fortune or the power of the script; I was now diving deeper into mastering the Spirit Vision talent.
Many things, like the flowing information, I could now distinguish as easily as peeling an onion. I didn’t even need the hint of unity of knowledge and action; I could better control the ability of Spirit Vision.
I’ve always been adapting to and mastering the ability of Spirit Vision. It’s like a tool for excavating treasures. It depends on how I control it, how I use it.
At this moment, I indeed had some insights into my current understanding of the Dream World.
And this understanding requires me to have corresponding means to control it; after mastering it… I would acquire new abilities!
Thinking of this, I suddenly sat up, and then the Memory Shelf spell fully unfolded, recording the books of this rune ceremony exploding. The pages transformed into pure knowledge and memories, swirling around me.
I was doing something very important at this moment: proving!
Proving that I have the ability to master the recognition I just deduced.
It would become the sharpest blade in my hand at this moment, the foundation of my existence in the Dream World.
“What is… this?”
At this point, Bai Yu, who was completely unaware of what was happening, looked at my frantic actions, astounded, and discovered a shocking anomaly.
Everything in the indoor space, visible to the n*ked eye, began to dissipate around Xiao Han, replaced by a familiar scene; it seemed… the ordinary layout of the Witch Academy dormitory bedroom!
“It seems to have worked.”
After a long while, I opened my eyes and examined the environment I was in; it was exactly like my bedroom, identical to what I recognized.
“Xiao Han, what have you… done?” Bai Yu was unable to describe her emotions at the change here with astonishment.
“Well… how to say it?” I looked at the rune combinations surrounding my hands; after another simplification and reorganization, as well as optimization, I nodded in satisfaction.
“I… created a spell.”
That simple sentence left Bai Yu momentarily speechless, “Create… a spell? How is that possible? The spellbook isn’t…”
“It’s a spell, not a spellbook. The creation of a spell is essentially the application of rules and ceremonies; the threshold isn’t as high as you think, Sister Bai. It’s just a spell, not a spellbook. The spellbook is just a real existence, like a tool. If I use a spell and it dissipates, then there’s nothing left.”
“Then… what is the effect of this spell…”
“Didn’t Sister Bai see it? It could change the world, be omnipotent. Oh… theoretically, it’s like that; but practically, it doesn’t work so well.” I smiled and said.
“This… how could such a spell exist? Then, don’t you…”
“Stop right there. It can only be done in the Dream World. Don’t think too unrealistically; it’s probably like… daydreaming.” I didn’t know how to explain it at that moment.
But the birth of this spell was not due to a stroke of luck.
“Daydreaming?”
“Yes, it’s a spell that can only be used in dreams and needs continuous refinement. This is just the initial effect.” I nodded.
In fact, this spell borrows from spell art, utilizing rune ceremonies to pry open the information acquisition channels of the Dream World.
I have to thank the effect of Spirit Vision; otherwise, without continual trial and error from Spirit Vision and the massive accumulation of runes in the Memory Shelf, I might not have found the corresponding runes to combine into such a spell ceremony.
It’s like exploiting a bug in the Dream World, replacing the information sources from the Dream World that obtain real-world information with my own memories and consciousness.
It’s a simple principle. The Dream World does not unconsciously obtain real-world information to recreate the same scenes to maintain the invasion of the Dream World into reality, right?
So I utilized the rune ceremonies and spell art to pry into the Dream World’s instinctual information acquisition channel, transforming it into myself, then the Dream World, to a certain degree, became usable by me.
That’s why the scene can change into the appearance of my bedroom.
Theoretically speaking, as long as I have seen or have some concept of something, I could abstract these memories or concepts into information feedback to the Dream World.
The Dream World would react and shape such dream creations.
Thus the most pointless spell in the world seems to have been born like this.
The external conditions it requires are too harsh; it needs the Dream World to invade reality, and the Dream World needs to establish information acquisition channels with reality and create the premise of replicating real scenes; only then could my spell exploit the bug and take effect.
And this effect can only work in dreams, causing no harm to reality. Even if I really came to reality, I still couldn’t use this spell because reality doesn’t provide the conditions for using it.
It’s sort of like I created some kind of game mod that can only be used for that specific game, corresponding only to this unique environment where the Dream World invades reality.
Moreover, this mod cannot be used in daily life, resulting in my inability to use this spell in reality.
However, the emergence of this means ensures that I am an almost god-like presence in this Dream World!
At this point, I finally obtained some sense of security in the Dream World, but such a result also represents more significance.
