Chapter 561: Attempt to Touch Realm Transformation
As the players’ overly flamboyant words echoed in everyone’s ears, it only further solidified the determination of the students to step forward and subdue these players.
However, with just a few steps between them, countless cubes formed by cubic structures eroded the higher ground, and then the undulating cubes surged toward them like waves, forcing everyone to retreat, leaving only those with exceptional agility and quick reflexes to leap onto the top layers using the momentum, charging at those players.
“Authorization of Dungeon Creator rights… here it comes, hum!” The leading player extended his hand and slid two fingers in mid-air, receiving the permissions!
At this moment, they were at the peak of their confidence!
Faced with the approaching extraordinary beings, the leading player merely reached out, and a massive pixel block struck from the opponents’ visual blind spot!
In a sudden clash of pure force, it sent that person flying.
This unexpected and strange tactic caught them completely off guard.
When they finally reacted, they discovered that everything around them seemed to be devoured and assimilated!
The orderly cubes flickered with the material of the original ground and walls, and as they gently swayed, it felt as if the entire hotel had transformed into a living entity in motion.
The resonating sensation caused by the friction between pixels made them uneasy, an instinctual fear facing the unknown!
At this moment, the eroding cores hidden within the hotel suddenly erupted with terrifying power, countless minute pixels expanding outward with that force, ultimately sealing off the hotel based on the entire floor.
The extraordinary power of erosion spread rapidly in an instant, not just within the hotel; outside the hotel, the road began to churn with unsettling cubes.
Many guests who had left the hotel due to the earlier incident were terrified by this scene and hastily fled.
Before long, the entire hotel was enveloped by a force, as if the boundaries they were covered by had divided into two worlds.
The horrifying extraordinary power rose into the sky.
The extraordinary power, nearly invisible to ordinary people, formed a vortex in the sky; people could only feel the atmosphere in the Magic Capital becoming oppressive. Although it was the height of noon with the sun shining brightly, it felt suffocating.
Only ordinary people who had awakened spirit vision could vaguely see the anomalies in the sky. They wanted to record it with their phones, but found the sky to be completely normal.
“The dungeon has been generated, now… you can’t escape! Hahahaha!”
Seeing the dungeon completed, the players immediately no longer hid their joy.
Having been pent-up for so long, it was finally their turn to enjoy themselves!
As players who held the rights of the dungeon creator, they were the masters here!
And just as they reveled in their elation, they heard the voice of the person responsible for the command of the plan in their ears.
During the time when the Game Architects had not spoken, they had to follow orders, for they were not the reckless players but rather the Pioneer Excavators venturing into the new world to structure the game!
No matter how dispirited they felt, they still needed to execute the plan and tasks. It was acceptable to curse at each other, as long as they could perform their tasks well, the others could be cursed at, provided they could match the commander in cursing.
The primary purpose of this dungeon’s arrival was to create a player’s home ground, further to harvest the game qualifications of the Child of Fortune!
The main objective of this dungeon was not to k*ll; everyone here had their value of existence because… they were the challengers of this dungeon!
In this place, those extraordinary beings were the main force of the dungeon challengers, the ordinary people were the bargaining chips for challenging the dungeon, and the Children of Fortune were merely tools that were continually harvested.
All of this existed solely to harvest game qualifications. Only at the end would those who could not extract qualifications be subject to the final harvest.
Generally, after completing this wave of harvest, players could establish dominance over the Child of Fortune. At that point, players would be able to pour into this world in large numbers and conduct their harvesting.
…
At this moment, guests on other floors of the hotel were also in a state of confusion and helplessness.
Having experienced several accidents before, they were somewhat calmer this time; perhaps it was because the previous incidents had not caused too many casualties, at that moment, they even felt a vague sense of mere indifference.
Only the stronger students sensed something was wrong.
This situation was completely different from the previous encounters!
“Something is off!”
“What’s wrong, Senior?” Ninglan Qiuyue looked at the grim-faced senior, curious to ask.
This time, Ninglan Qiuyue had come to participate in the auction along with the Witch Secret Realm Association. The all-purpose auction organized by the association was naturally not solely represented by one club but behind her were many clubs, among them was the Witch Secret Realm Association.
“We… seem to be trapped in the hotel.” The senior approached the bed, looking out at the scene, before speaking in a grave tone.
Then she placed her hand on the window, but what she pushed on was forcefully broken off a piece.
“Huh?”
“What’s wrong?”
“This is…” She looked at the piece in her hand and then back at the missing block, a chill running down her spine; she thought of a similar possibility, “I don’t know… but this place is likely not the hotel we were in before.”
She suddenly pushed open the window; while the glass should have shattered irregularly, it indeed broke, but not into random shards, rather into neatly arranged transparent blocks!
“I’m going to check it out!”
Without saying a word, her flying broomstick materialized in her hand, and then she stepped onto the shattered window and leaped out.
She needed to verify her guess.
Were they truly trapped in an additional kind of space, just like the relationship between the Witch Academy and the Magic Capital?
Earlier, she had only tried briefly, discovering that it seemed as if all the rules around her had been rewritten. After riding the broomstick, she took a moment to glance at the block she had pulled down earlier; she had managed to crush it, but looking at the smaller cubes in her hand, she was even more convinced of her guess.
And soon after, another piece of bad news arrived; she was flying smoothly in the air but suddenly slammed into an air wall, unable to advance even a bit. No matter what she did, she couldn’t move an inch outside; at this moment, her mood sank to the bottom. They really were trapped, and in another space!
When she turned her head to look at the entire hotel, her pupils instantly constricted!
This was far from being a hotel!
It was a building completely eroded by an unknown force!
And at this moment, many others, like her, broke open windows to check the situation and were also startled upon seeing this scene, yet when they tried to run, they found themselves unable to escape.
They could only watch helplessly as the mosaic-like objects continued to erode their visible “horizon,” the buildings outside the hotel gradually being replaced, details disappearing piece by piece, until each building transformed into cubes resembling models, replacing the distant shapes of buildings, and everything outside bid farewell to their view.
At this moment… everyone was thoroughly trapped in the space of the dungeon!
In such a critical situation, many people instinctively wanted to contact the outside world seeking help, but they found that their phones had no signal; neither ordinary mobile phones nor the special phones of the Extraordinary Academy worked. No means could transmit even a sliver of information to the outside, not even those who mastered teleportation spells could manage to teleport outside.
At this point, everyone finally realized the seriousness of the situation.
Those who initially thought the auction would continue now just wanted to cry out to go home, but no one was responding to their pleas.
As time passed, they discovered the decorations within the hotel were losing their original shapes; everything was expressing an abstract form.
Only those still here felt utterly out of place with everything around them.
Confronted with such anomalies, the senior students present took excellent initiative; after some calm reflection, they realized it was merely a change in their environment that hadn’t caused them any real harm.
But the next moment, they wouldn’t think so.
“Granting dungeon challenger qualifications…”
This prompt resonated in everyone’s ears.
“What on earth is going on?” Ninglan Qiuyue was astonished by this situation that exceeded her understanding.
“I don’t know… let’s take it one step at a time. With such a significant incident, the academy’s teachers surely won’t ignore it,” the seniors from the Witch Secret Realm Association could only offer such reassurance.
They looked at the pixel block composed scene before them; if not mentioned, no one could connect this place to any floor of the hotel.
Just then, the pixel block beneath Ninglan Qiuyue’s feet suddenly shifted, and a pitch-black abyss swallowed her unprepared.
“Qiuyue!” A few seniors noticed this scene and rushed forward but were still a step too late.
The originally cracked ground was blocked by rising cubes at that moment, stopping their outstretched hands. As Ninglan Qiuyue’s figure completely disappeared, the fissure in the ground closed seamlessly into a flat surface!
“Watch out!”
The senior who was preparing to rescue Ninglan Qiuyue completely failed to notice the monstrous being behind her. After she threw herself forward in a panic to pull her aside, the creature used its sharp claws to tear a fissure in the ground, countless minute pixels bursting out from the crack.
“Th… thank you…”
“No worries, just be careful, or next time you might not be so lucky.”
“I understand, but… what on earth are these things?!”
Narrowly avoiding this deadly strike, the girls looked at the monstrous creature in fear, yet quickly prepared counterattacks.
Under their powerful spellbook’s offense, these monsters could only turn into pixel modules and fall to the ground, merging into the pixel blocks.
However, these monsters did not stop at just these; they were birthed from each pixel block, pouring in endlessly, leaving everyone with goosebumps!
“Run! There are too many of these monsters; we can’t waste our time fighting them here!”
“But Qiuyue she…”
“I know very well, but staying here won’t save her. We need to get to a safe place before figuring out a way to rescue Qiuyue.”
Meanwhile.
Ninglan Qiuyue, after stepping into thin air, fell into another space of the dungeon.
This fall was quite brutal; she struggled to get up, only to find that there was no one around.
She attempted to call out, but no one responded.
“Ninglan Qiuyue… you are the Child of Fortune in this world, aren’t you?”
“Huh? Who are you?” Ninglan Qiuyue turned to look at the shadow speaking, immediately becoming alert; she did not recognize the person, but they knew her name.
“You can call me Player, but now… I am your executor… until I squeeze every last bit of value out of you! Until then, just struggle to your heart’s content! Because I! Will take you into hell!”
…
In another space of the dungeon.
“Huh? Why has the dungeon space changed?”
I looked at the changes in the surrounding environment. However, this alone didn’t mean much; merely changing the originally uniform environment could indeed bring some novelty.
At this moment, I was immersed in testing my basic derivative spells, and I must say that after this practical training, many of my derivative spells that were still in the theoretical stage had undergone improvements.
But the player who trapped me here seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
He yelled that it was impossible; he couldn’t possibly cast spells at such high intensity without showing any signs of exhaustion.
He even said stupid things like the environment in the dungeon space did not provide any possibility for restoring extraordinary power.
But the restoration of my thousands of Magic Sources did not rely on absorbing and recovering from the surrounding environment. Plus, with my innate self-generated magic talent from being a witch, it would be difficult to use it all up.
“You freak… you must have other secrets! I will dig out all your secrets!”
“Cut the nonsense; hurry up and bring more monsters; how could this density be enough for anyone to k*ll?” I shrugged off his words without concern.
The fact that the player didn’t dare to show up in front of me told me that they weren’t worthy of fear; they could only craft various kinds of extraordinary pixel-constructed monsters to create trouble for me.
But soon, these troubles would provide me with inspiration to solve them, ultimately feeding back into my spells.
“How can you look so carefree? Don’t you care about the survival of the people outside?”
“The survival of the people outside? Oh… you mean you attacked those people outside? What gave you the nerve? A power similar to the one that trapped me?” I asked nonchalantly.
“Of course! The entire hotel has now fallen; you’re a teacher from the Witch Academy, right? Just watching them d*e without saving them? Or do you lack the ability to save them?”
“I am indeed a teacher, but I believe they have the ability to handle you; I have confidence in them.” I said casually, as if truly filled with confidence.
However, if they really encountered trouble they couldn’t resolve, they could always summon me; I had given some people business cards for summoning.
Moreover, if I wanted to leave, this dungeon constructed by players wouldn’t be able to stop me.
This was not my confidence in the Reverse Summoning Spell; it was simply a final safety measure.
Did they really think I was helpless against this dungeon?
You see, I was only using basic spells; even without mentioning spells, my cultivation of the body power system’s Heart Realm Field prototype could also counter this dungeon.
Through continuous testing, I began to understand what a realm truly is; it’s a power that reorganizes order mastered by oneself.
The heart realm of body cultivation is a kind of order derived from within the power system of body cultivation, and the manifestation of the heart realm is a “means” of rewriting reality based on that order.
Did they really think I was just testing derivative spells all this time?
I was also trying to comprehend this so-called game dungeon.
Because I realized this dungeon had similar properties to the power of my heart realm manifestation; it’s about reshaping the order of reality!
This has invaluable reference value for my understanding of the heart realm’s body cultivation prototype.
All of this relies on the extraordinary order derived from the power system built on 【Extraordinary Knowledge】… This reminded me of what Teacher Ji once said about the realm transformation of the spellbook…
【Extraordinary Knowledge】 can be made into a Great Spellbook, and the Great Spellbook, like a spellbook, should also be able to be “transformed into a realm.” However, the prototype I control is not purely established based on a specific Great Spellbook but rather structured on the body cultivation power system.
But these are not the main points, because while I continuously derive from basic spells, I have also been exploring whether this basic spellbook can achieve the so-called… realm transformation!
I have found that the so-called realm transformation seems to be closely related to spell derivation; the derivative sequences of prototype spells are likely the key to the realm transformation of spellbooks…
Once, Teacher Ji said that I wasn’t able to touch the level of spellbook realm transformation.
But now… everything is hard to say!
