Chapter 846: The Arrival of the Primordial Dream World
Expanding Realm.
The Summit of Sky Abyss.
This is the place where the sky of the Expanding Realm has a large gash, creating a spatial rift connecting the Expanding Realm to the Horasso Swamp in the Core Realm.
The Witch Academy does not intend to manage this area anyway, as it has no effect on the Expanding Realm.
The name “Summit of Sky Abyss” was given by the Elves.
It is indeed a significant geographic feature, and the Witches seem to have no intention of naming it, so the Elves, embodying their characteristics, chose a name that is quite fitting.
After several days of organization, the observation station of the Witch Academy here is almost ready, and only a few Witches remain in the Expanding Realm, constantly monitoring the situation of the Primordial Dream World.
Originally, those Extraordinary beings who wanted to come here to cause trouble have left in disgrace, as the Witch left to guard this place is led by Principal Beif Alanna!
That Principal of the Witch Academy, who likes to cause trouble, has contributed quite a bit even in the repair of this small world in the Expanding Realm.
Who would want to provoke a powerful Witch who loves to wander in the Void?
Moreover, after all, she is still a Principal! Although she may seem a bit unconventional and whimsical, her strength is enough to secure her position, which proves a lot.
As for Mei Linde… she still needs to handle the academy’s affairs, but she is also keeping a close eye on the situation in the Expanding Realm.
She doesn’t have much time to spend in the Expanding Realm; naturally, she only shows up at critical moments.
After Principal Beif Alanna took up her post in the Expanding Realm, it quickly became “quiet.” Although other academies might question why the Witch Academy has withdrawn from the exploration of the original dream world while leaving a Principal who is obviously not a scholarly witch behind.
However, the response from the Witch Academy corrected their assumptions.
The Witch Academy has never withdrawn from the exploration of the original dream world; instead, they have temporarily avoided unnecessary risks and reiterated the terrifying nature of dream calamities.
As for why a Principal is left behind… naturally, it’s because since the repair of the Expanding Realm, it has become a place for Witches, and the Witch Academy needs to have a sufficiently weighty Witch to constantly guard the safety of the Expanding Realm from invasion.
After all, the Expanding Realm does not have a huge suppression spell restraining them; if they had any ill intentions, it would be easy to destroy the Expanding Realm!
Just like when they once invaded the Main World.
Thus, the Witch Academy and other academies have been mutually pulling at each other.
But no one dares to take action.
Their testing ideas have completely vanished because the only one they can test is Beif Alanna.
But this girl is simply a simple-minded fool who knows nothing!
So naturally, there is no value in testing.
At least that’s how it appears to those Extraordinary scholars. They speculate that Principal Beif Alanna doesn’t even know the plans of the Witch Academy.
A dignified Principal, who is so easily used by Witches… but the key point is that Beif Alanna really doesn’t care!
That is what drives them crazy.
After all, Beif Alanna is not truly foolish; she simply knows nothing about scholarly matters.
Moreover, another thing that makes them feel uneasy is… that Beif Alanna gets along quite well with Sheril!
One is a Principal, and the other is a frightening Betrayer Witch; the two of them actually get along and share laughs during their interactions, which is truly a headache to observe.
“Don’t mention it—when I first saw Xiao Han in that small world, I thought she was the type of Little Witch who could achieve great things…”
Beif Alanna spoke animatedly to Sheril. Although she hasn’t interacted with Xiao Han much recently, it hasn’t diminished their relationship.
Beif Alanna remembers clearly that she also contributed a bit to Xiao Han’s Great Spellbook! She feels this is something she can remember for a lifetime!
The night in the Expanding Realm is exceptionally clear.
The sky, veiled by the Primordial Dream World, sparkles with dreamlike stars.
The flickering firelight of the bonfire illuminates the faces of several Witches.
It seems they will never run out of topics, chatting and laughing there.
Some food they brought along is roasting over the bonfire; even the coarsest food becomes delightful at this moment.
“By the way, how many nights has it been today?”
“Aren’t you not in the Primordial Dream World? You’ve only been here a few days! Is it too boring to lack fun?”
“Indeed~”
After all, for Witches who long refrain from sleep and rest, they prefer not to keep track of time in a day-and-night cycle.
“I heard from you all that there will be a massive Primordial Dream calamity upcoming, but why have I not seen it yet?” Beif Alanna remarked with some nostalgia; she is the typical type ominously eager for chaos.
Beif Alanna has said such things many times, yet no one can provide any specific information.
“You should ask Xiao Bai~” Sheril chuckled, tossing the topic to Bai Yu.
“If all goes well, it will be soon.” Bai Yu replied somewhat uncertainly.
After all, she doesn’t know much about it, but in her recent exchange with Xiao Han, she learned that Fool Village has shown significant changes.
This indicates that the dream of Fool Village is nearing the shallow layers of the dream world.
“Is it again soon?” Sheril, with her leg crossed, rests her chin on one hand, smiling as she looks at Bai Yu.
“It’s normal for there to be time differences between dream and reality, isn’t it?” Bai Yu used this statement again, attempting to shift the topic.
However, after her words, she sensed a slight anomaly.
It was a subtle shiver from her soul, very faint yet quite real.
Bai Yu subconsciously glanced at the others across from her, and noticed they also clearly felt the anomaly.
With just a glance, they understood what might soon happen.
The Witches slowly stood up, their gazes instinctively drifting towards the distance, finally settling on the core area where the Primordial Dream World breaks through reality.
There, the golden twin trees stand tall, and they all knew what that represented.
“Finally here~ Hehe, let me see what this grand scene of the dream calamity is, that even old Mei has chosen to avoid the limelight,” Beif Alanna said, filled with anticipation as she stood up smiling.
“Oh? Shouldn’t we notify Mei Linde first?”
“That girl said she’s always keeping an eye on the Expanding Realm, right? Does she need me to remind her? What a joke!” Beif Alanna replied dismissively.
“That’s true~” Sheril laughed, then her gaze turned to the distance.
“This time, it is clearly the tremor of the Primordial Dream World, and the affected range is quite large. I’ll go measure its limit, you all be cautious.” Unable to wait any longer, Sheril stood up, and as her words finished, her figure disappeared beside the bonfire.
“There’s no need to be cautious; it’s just the Primordial Dream World. How much commotion can it make?” Beif Alanna said carelessly.
Given the countless storms she’s experienced, what kind of scenes hasn’t she seen?
Even during the Void War where large world clusters fell, she was both a participant and a witness.
Such a disaster that only affects the Expanding Realm is insignificant in her eyes.
“Principal Beif, it’s best not to underestimate the Primordial Dream World.” At this moment, Bai Yu spoke up, reminding her.
There are too many things in the Extraordinary world that cannot be resolved by pure strength.
Although Principal Mei does not allow Bai Yu to rashly enter the Primordial Dream World, it does not mean Bai Yu hasn’t tried to enter the shallow layers of the Primordial Dream World for experience.
It is precisely because she has had that experience that she understands the dangers of the Primordial Dream World.
As time passes, the anomalies of the Primordial Dream World gradually become perceptible to other Extraordinary academies.
After all, they are not of the essence of the soul; their sensitivity to the Primordial Dream World is naturally incomparable.
Once they confirmed that this wave of anomalies was not due to equipment malfunctions or failures, those Extraordinary academies immediately thought of the Witch Academy.
So they quickly reached a unified consensus—this is all the Witches’ doing!
They soon gathered at the frontline observation station of the Witch Academy.
“What exactly are you Witches up to?”
Accompanied by this question, Beif Alanna turned to look at the several silhouettes before her, in the dark night, only the light of the bonfire illuminated their figures.
“Are you asking me?”
“You… what have you done to the Primordial Dream World?” The frightened Wizard still bore the pressure of the Principal as he questioned.
“Those Witches who entered the Primordial Dream World have not lost at all, right! Are you plotting some kind of conspiracy?”
“How ridiculous. If the Witch Academy wanted to conspire against you, would it really be up to you to come here and point fingers at us?” Bai Yu retorted scornfully.
However, she is indeed correct; does the Witch Academy truly have a plot?
Even the Witch Academy is unsure what kind of disaster the Primordial Dream World will erupt, but it is certain that this disaster has already begun.
In that moment.
Sheril, soaring above the Expanding Realm, turned and looked down at the earth, where the dream area covered by the Primordial Dream World seemed smaller than a palm in her view.
The immense golden twin tree structure still radiated dazzling brilliance.
From that core, Sheril vaguely saw… a massive illusory world slowly overlapping with the Expanding Realm.
“Is this… ‘Fool Village’?”
After muttering this, Sheril felt as if everything in front of her was about to shatter, but it seemed that what was breaking was not reality… but her perception of the world.
Yet this all seemed to make no difference…
At this moment, the playful smile that Sheril always wore faded.
Because she seemingly realized that the range affected by the Primordial Dream World was perhaps even more terrifying than she had anticipated!
In just an instant, as a veteran who has entered the Primordial Dream World multiple times, she quickly transitioned to her adaptive state.
This feeling was marvelous; she remained in reality, yet her consciousness was wrapped by the vast Primordial Dream World, entering the dream.
At this moment, the things in her view also became exceedingly bizarre; it felt as though she was touching Real Time for the first time—the things her eyes beheld.
This is the perspective of the Primordial Dream World!
The land of the Expanding Realm became a deposition ground for dream information, countless dream creatures continuously surged from its depths.
And she again saw that glimpse of the dream world; it appeared boundless, yet endless dream creatures outlined its edges with their ethereal figures.
Chains shimmering with golden light wrapped around the entire dream world like a seal, and nightmares adorned it with an eerie aura.
Order, like a staircase, anchored the path from the dream to reality, much like a lighthouse over an endless sea, guiding its ascent.
What kind of mighty force is drawing such a dream world from the depths of the Primordial Dream World into reality…
Is it just the Great Spellbook that Xiao Han possesses?
Or perhaps a piece of Extraordinary Knowledge?
Certainly neither!
Then… there remains only the Dream Realm.
This kind of realm is a symbol of the Holy Realm; it’s a leap in mastering one’s power level and the source of strength for a Holy Realm Extraordinary being to combat an entire world.
Is this the Dream Realm within the Primordial Dream World?
Sheril’s gaze reflected the stunning beauty of the scene before her, momentarily leaving her somewhat awestruck…
It was a yearning for unknown power!
At this moment, the dream world seemed like a giant whale leaping out of the ocean, opening its massive mouth and devouring all consciousness above the Expanding Realm.
This is the only way Sheril could describe it.
Just as Xiao Han depicted, this is all the calm before the storm; when everything happens, no one can escape the tide of calamity.
Even in her high vantage point glaring down at the earth, she cannot escape the encroachment of the Primordial Dream World.
All the Witches have guessed wrong…
This calamity of the Primordial Dream World doesn’t just pertain to this corner.
But rather… half of the Expanding Realm!
At this moment, the Expanding Realm is as if struck by a massive meteorite crashing into the surface, terrifying shockwaves rippling beneath the atmosphere.
But this is not a meteorite collision; it is the arrival of the Primordial Dream World!
It has broken through the limits of reality, anchoring itself with a dream world evolved from Extraordinary Knowledge, wrapping in a massive number of dream creatures from the depths of the Primordial Dream World.
The deep Primordial Dream World instantly flooded reality, with no living being able to escape.
The Expanding Realm is still that Expanding Realm, the difference is… at this moment, the Expanding Realm is silent.
Everything instantly fell into a deathly stillness.
All consciousness returns to the Primordial Dream World.
Sheril can feel her perspective constantly descending, and she is not surprised… because she knows she has entered the dream, and her power is gradually waning.
That’s the appearance of continuously falling into the depths of the Primordial Dream World.
And the actual reason is that the extraordinary rules and order of reality are gradually collapsing within the dream; the deeper she falls into the Primordial Dream World, the more she will revert to the essence of consciousness, becoming a powerless individual.
This is the terror of the Primordial Dream World; even with the great power she once possessed, here… she is utterly powerless.
