Chapter 847: The Predicament of the Primordial Dream World
Everything happened so fast that no one could react in that moment.
Everyone seemed momentarily dazed, and once they realized the crisis had arrived, they hurriedly tore open space to escape the Expanding Realm.
“What the hell did those damned witches do?!” The terrified wizards cursed as they stepped into the spatial rifts.
The other elves and holy angels quickly fled as well.
Everything in the Expanding Realm seemed to be left behind by them, and after calming down slightly, the wizards began to vent their frustration vocally.
After releasing their emotions, a wizard named Elton Clair looked at the familiar scenery and suddenly realized that he seemed to have returned to the Wizard Academy, and that this place was still his Wizard Tower.
“No way… I can’t just swallow this… how could those witches plot against us like this? Do they really think we academic wizards on the front lines are just idle?”
Elton opened the door and left the laboratory on the top floor of the Wizard Tower.
But as soon as he opened the door, a familiar figure appeared before him.
“Why are you here…” Elton was stunned upon seeing this familiar face, and his anger flared up immediately. “Weren’t you with me in the Expanding Realm? Why did you come back early? I didn’t call you back!”
“Instructor Elton, we…”
“Don’t give me excuses. You can forget about being the floor master; get out of the way.” Elton angrily kicked the figure in front of him away.
However, even he didn’t notice that the person he kicked away didn’t suffer any injuries at all. Watching the furious Elton leave, the person even showed a strange smile.
Elton walked over to the stairs; the staircase inside the Wizard Tower was spiral, continuing the retro brick structure and was quite dim overall.
Every so often, he needed to use the illuminating witch weapon’s bright magic structure to supplement the lighting.
As Elton casually passed a window on the side of the staircase, he looked at a dim corner of the academy outside the Wizard Tower, feeling somewhat uneasy.
It was as if the once familiar staircase continued to push against his inertia, yet he still hadn’t reached the floor he envisioned.
Moreover… even though he was descending, he felt as if it was as exhausting as climbing stairs.
But with his extraordinary life level, his physical strength should far exceed that of someone who would get tired from climbing or descending stairs, right?
Thinking of this, Elton was suddenly drenched in cold sweat!
Did other wizards set up spatial staircase loop magic in his Wizard Tower?!
This is impossible!
Elton stopped in his tracks. After the cold sweat, his next feeling was not fear but anger!
The earlier reaction was an instinct from barely escaping d*ath, while the anger was at the insult of such a tactic being used against him.
Because… this was his Wizard Tower!
The Wizard Tower is the foundation of a wizard and belongs to an extraordinary wizard. Here, within the permissions of the Wizard Tower, he was the highest authority.
However, when he tried to resonate with the powers of the Wizard Tower, he suddenly realized that his power had weakened.
Not only that, but no matter what he did, he felt as if he had completely lost contact with this Wizard Tower!
“This… this is impossible!”
In the face of what he once took pride in, “reality” had played a huge joke on him.
He climbed up frantically, determined to reach the control center at the top of the Wizard Tower.
There must be something wrong!
If his Wizard Tower malfunctioned and couldn’t be repaired in a short time… he didn’t even dare think of what would happen!
But no matter how he climbed, he seemed to never reach the end.
An invisible sense of pressure was gradually accumulating in his heart, urging him to keep fighting.
Until at one moment, he seemed to think of something.
He could tear open a spatial rift!
He waved his wizard staff, locating the spatial rift… constructing the space… activating the spatial marker… After a series of operations, he thankfully tore open a spatial rift, having no time to ponder why his power was so diminished that even tearing open a spatial rift was so difficult…
Shouldn’t he be an extraordinary wizard?!
The real touch instinct should even allow him to touch the texture of space…
But at that moment, everything had left him with no time to think. For some unknown reason, he tripped and fell through the spatial rift, tumbling heavily to the ground.
However, when he raised his head to get up, his expression finally changed.
The place he arrived at was not the control center at the top of the Wizard Tower but the hall on the lower levels of the Wizard Tower!
How could such a rudimentary mistake happen?
A formal wizard’s Wizard Tower was actually quite large, with countless functional zones based on different research directions of wizards.
This also meant that the Wizard Tower required a large number of wizard apprentices to operate, and each level needed a floor master as a manager to serve the extraordinary wizard in charge of the tower.
Now, his disheveled appearance was fully visible to these inferior wizard apprentices.
A sense of frustration and anger surged in his heart.
A nameless entity constantly magnified the dark side of his spirit.
“What are you all gathering here for? Are you planning to rebel?!”
Elton stood up from the ground, shaking with anger.
However, it was clear that his shout didn’t seem to have the effect he expected.
Those wizard apprentices he usually summoned at will, who dared not voice any complaints, were surprisingly quiet today…
Why now of all times?
Elton looked at the group of wizard apprentices before him; their faces were turning hideous…
Among them, he even saw people who shouldn’t exist!
Those who should have been long forgotten in the corners of his memory, the apprentices who had been turned into unrecognizable beings by one of his careless experiments… they crawled toward him in grotesque forms.
“Instructor Elton… do you remember what you did to us?”
“You lowly apprentices should consider it an honor to be the experimental subjects of a great extraordinary wizard! What! Do you really want to resist me?!”
As Elton’s furious words came out, they provoked the relentless laughter of the apprentices.
Their faces became even more distorted.
And his own vision turned more abstract.
Countless past memories that terrified him pressed against his cognition, leaving him no time to consider the rationality of the situation.
Everything was aimed at shaping a picture of fear within Elton, striking at his most terrified and vulnerable essence.
At that moment, where was there any Wizard Academy?
Everything outside the Wizard Tower turned into disordered information swirling around, and those “wizard apprentices” completely lost their current forms, transforming into strangely shaped dream creatures, like a dense school of fish rushing forward to tear apart their prey!
The illusion of the dream shattered completely in front of Elton.
There was no Wizard Tower…
His so-called escape was merely falling into a deeper layer of the primordial dream world, producing a beautiful fantasy.
However, even such a fantasy eventually turned into endless sustenance consumed by the dream creatures.
……
Such tragedies continued to unfold at all times.
And the treatment of being besieged by so many dream creatures was only reserved for the peak of the Abyssal Realm, a breakthrough point where the primordial dream descended.
However, the rippling primordial dream poured into the reality of the Expanding Realm, affecting much of it.
Even the Ninglan Realm, which was so distant from the peak of the Abyssal Realm, felt the repercussions.
Fortunately, the sanctuaries and areas affected did not have a massive number of deep-layer dream creatures, so they were at most forced into the shallow primordial dream.
Only the sanctuaries closer to the peak of the Abyssal Realm faced the most severe circumstances.
“This is… the natural disaster of the primordial dream?”
At that moment, Principal Beif Alanna looked at the hell she found herself in. She was facing that primordial dream directly, feeling a daze before appearing in such a place.
“Ha ha… hahaha! This is just too interesting!”
Beif Alanna clenched her fists and transformed into a huge black dragon, confronting the monsters that continuously approached her.
These monsters were not only peculiar but arrived in a relentless tide, like the sea.
This was simply the best battlefield prepared for her!
But the more excited she became, the more she felt the power she wielded diminishing.
Yet she still felt no fear, treating the negative effects from those monsters as trivial.
“Come on! Bring it on! Do you really think I’m afraid of you?!” Beif Alanna flung away the claws biting at her dragon form and unleashed a breath of dragon fire.
However, the once unstoppable dragon fire merely stripped the monsters of their outer skins.
“Hehe… magic immunity? What about classical mechanics!” Beif Alanna sneered disdainfully. With her dragon claws, she stomped on the ground, creating molten fissures that radiated danger, and suddenly pulled out a giant sword made of molten stone…
Boom——!
This sword, barely decent enough, used the principles of classical mechanics at Beif Alanna’s mouth to crush those monsters.
Some even transformed into the essence of dream creatures to flee, though Beif Alanna didn’t notice that.
The dream creatures were agitated but still didn’t dare to approach, as if waiting for the figure before them to descend into a deeper level of the primordial dream.
And the dream creatures that had previously bitten Beif Alanna turned away disdainfully.
This figure before them… felt no fear or any negative emotions.
Moreover, more importantly… this figure’s essence was not the soul material they desired… they could not achieve their goal of devouring her…
Since they couldn’t devour her and would only bring them endless trouble, some dream creatures instinctively left the area.
“Don’t run! Haha! It’s my turn to shine…”
Before Beif Alanna could finish her words, she felt a hand on her shoulder.
“Calm down! Don’t be impulsive!”
“Who?” Beif Alanna, still riding high, abruptly turned around only to see a familiar figure.
“Old Mei? You finally made it here! Hahaha~ This place is really fun!”
“If I hadn’t come, you would’ve probably died here!” Mei Linde looked at the unruly character in front of her, suppressing her urge to clench her fist and landed a heavy blow on the other’s head.
“Stop messing around! You’re continually falling deeper into the primordial dream! Can’t you feel your power steadily weakening?”
“Weakening?” At this reminder, Beif Alanna calmed down slightly. “I thought those monsters would weaken me with spells.”
“Still thinking about weakening! If there really was a weakening spell, it must have struck your brain! Hold my hand.” Mei Linde impatiently grabbed Beif Alanna and began to pull her away.
After all, she had entered the primordial dream several times, and even without the Great Spellbook, she still wielded the power of the Soul Great Topic.
After all, the current Soul Great Topic occupied a position as important as that of the Witch Great Topic, being a hurdle to promote to an extraordinary witch.
Subsequently, Beif Alanna held onto Mei Linde’s hand, allowing her to drag her away.
Until she saw Bai Yu.
“Hey~ Little Bai!”
“Principal Beif, you almost scared me to d*ath just now.” Bai Yu didn’t move much at this moment.
Because she was adapting to the current primordial dream, naturally she couldn’t act recklessly like Beif Alanna had just done.
“See, I’m fine, aren’t I? Hahaha! That was so exhilarating just now…” Beif Alanna exclaimed, then looked at Mei Linde.
“Old Mei, are we going back to reality now? I don’t really feel anything; I didn’t even notice when I entered the dream.”
“Back to reality?” Mei Linde’s tone was harsh as she shot back.
“Hmm?”
Beif Alanna looked at Mei Linde in confusion.
“What do you mean? What do we need to do in the primordial dream? I know you like collecting these data, you’ve done it all along, but as a witch who knows nothing, shouldn’t you just toss me back first?”
“Mei Linde means we can’t go back. At least for a short time, we can’t find a way back to reality.” Bai Yu reminded from the side.
“…Ah?”
After a few seconds of silence, Beif Alanna finally exclaimed, looking at Mei Linde with a somewhat clear and confused gaze.
“We can’t go back? What’s going on? Old Mei, don’t lie to me! You once boasted about how you went in and out of the primordial dream without any issues, and this time we came in, you dropped the ball?!”
“Dropped the ball? The primordial dreams I went to before are the same as this time… ONE! and THE SAME!” Mei Linde started rhythmically tapping her other hand on Beif Alanna’s head, “And who was it that was sinking deeper into the primordial dream just now! Don’t you really understand what ‘d*ath’ means?!”
“Uh… ah? Was it… me?” Beif Alanna pointed at herself, seeming to realize the not-so-smart thing she had just done.
“It doesn’t matter much to you; you were just a little willful, and it’s just a matter of getting lost faster. Once we enter the primordial dream… there’s almost a 90% probability of getting lost, it’s just a matter of timing.”
“So… we’re finished no matter what, right? Old Mei… are you playing this big? What have you all done? Why didn’t you guys tell me anything?”
“Finished? That’s hard to say; if it really comes to it, we can get the Primordial Witch to save us, but… I think we might witness a miracle next.”
Mei Linde’s words finished, her gaze turned towards Bai Yu.
