Chapter 849: The Fat Meat on the Chopping Block, Left for Others to Slaughter
The strangeness of the Primordial Dream World and the chaotic rules that transcend reality create a chasm that hinders the exploration of dreams by the consciousness of reality.
Like a race emerging from weakness to extraordinary power, only when the level of their own life touches Real Time, does this race truly realize how vast the Void is.
The reason “Real Time” has the prefix “real” is a sentiment from the great beings who first explored Real Time, reflecting on the unprecedented things they discovered, believing that this was the real world.
Extraordinary beings, based on Real Time, have acquired a leap in their ability to harness Void energy, and the essence of this ability is the extraordinary transcendence of cognition.
Even extraordinary beings who know nothing about Real Time can instinctively utilize the most basic applications of it.
It is like two lives born in primitive and civilized societies, who adapt instinctively to everything they encounter in the process of growth, even without a systematic teaching process.
Sheril pondered over so much; only such an explanation could let her realize the rank of the Primordial Dream World.
And she had to admit that the shock brought to her by the little witch named Yang Yuelan was far greater than any genius she had encountered before!
Look at the massive body of order within the Primordial Dream World, every movement it made was accompanied by the restructuring and dispersal of order within the Primordial Dream. Even a whole dream world could be toyed with in her hands.
This was the means that a “preparatory” Truth Witch should have in her heart!
At this moment, there was only unspeakable fervor in her eyes, completely oblivious to the fact that she was still drifting in the Primordial Dream World.
Not just Sheril, at this moment, the majority of the Expanding Realm affected by the Primordial Dream World were those who had been swept into it, falling into dreams as well.
Most of the people still caught in the night dream had little sense of reality; they simply felt as if they had experienced a very vivid dream.
However, the essence of their lives made it hard for them to see the true Primordial Dream World through its illusion, and only a few individuals caught a glimpse of the gigantic figure spanning the starry river high above, but before they could see it clearly, they were plunged deep into another layer of dreams.
In the Primordial Dream World.
I looked at the Fool Village dream in my hand, which glimmered with a translucent light. This was my first attempt to let the order of the dream realm completely dominate a dream world.
This dream gradually transformed into a seed, which I gently pressed into my forehead.
I still didn’t have too much time to deal with the issues of the Fool Village; right now, I needed to quickly resolve the disaster caused by the Primordial Dream World to the Expanding Realm.
My eyes slowly opened, and then I noticed a world not far before me.
Intuition told me that this seemed to be the Expanding Realm.
And this was the first time I was observing the Expanding Realm from such a perspective. It was truly beautiful… like a delicately crafted model of a world as tall as myself.
My hand gently rested on this massive “model” of the Expanding Realm.
Countless accumulated pieces of information surged like dust at my touch. I could sense an almost infinite number of consciousnesses floating over the Primordial Dream World… were these all the consciousnesses of the indigenous people of the Expanding Realm?!
In an instant, I suddenly realized that I seemed to have done something significant.
So many people’s consciousness in the Expanding Realm had actually been pulled into the Primordial Dream World?
I had to say, facing so many “innocent” people, after experiencing the initial panic, I gradually calmed down.
The life and d*ath of these people seemed to be at my whim, yet at this moment, I felt no “real sense” about it.
This feeling was akin to humans who control the lives of ants.
But humans have never truly felt sympathy for ants.
Even though I was seriously contemplating that these consciousnesses were all human like me, I still found myself lacking much empathy towards them.
Could this be the kind of indifference that extraordinary beings have towards non-extraordinary beings?
Even though I had not yet become truly extraordinary, I still found this mindset terrifying, and seeing my own perspective change in such a way felt even more frightening!
However… from a rational standpoint, these indigenous people of the Expanding Realm were vital to the development of the Expanding Realm. After all, population is the foundation for a world and society’s growth.
So regardless of the reason, I needed to rescue these ordinary people trapped by the Primordial Dream World.
I gently extended my hand, and the power unique to the Field Order spread out, forming countless strands of Knowledge Power that connected to these lost consciousnesses, anchoring them to reality, thus bringing them back to reality in a natural way.
As for how to make the Primordial Dream World fade in reality… that was something even I could not manage.
It was like human civilization inventing nuclear weapons, yet being unable to eliminate the pollution caused by them.
However, after being anchored by my Knowledge Power, the consciousness of these ordinary people could avoid being lost in the Primordial Dream World for a time.
Most of these ordinary people’s consciousness gathered in shelters or nearby locations, with the only slightly troublesome area being Ninglan Realm, which gathered several shelters, a sanctuary, and the core main city of Ninglan New City.
But all of this was just a matter of time for me.
With the Great Knowledge Tree and the reconstruction of the dream, I could anchor individuals and consciousness within dreams through dual localization of dream and reality, so this immense workload was merely a matter of waiting for the processing of the spell’s information.
While processing these consciousnesses, I also discovered a special presence…
That was the core area that had always intrigued me.
From the Earth Vein information, I learned that this place was named “The Peak of the Abyss” by the elves, and here… gathered nearly all the consciousnesses of the extraordinary beings involved in this incident.
I certainly wouldn’t send these consciousnesses back like those ordinary people.
Compared to these guys, I was more concerned about Sister Bai.
Earlier from the communication, I learned that Sister Bai and the Heads of Academies were here, and with the Primordial Dream World causing such a wide-ranging effect, they had surely been caught in it as well.
“I found them…” The information from the Earth Vein within the Primordial Dream World quickly marked their locations for me.
So finding them was very simple, and they were not trying to hide at all.
I waved my hand gently, and the sea of information transformed into a scroll floating in front of me.
The image of this scroll was a pose I had unfolded in the form of a Dream World Scroll, as this form felt more like a platform to converse with me.
Accompanied by the unfolding and anchoring of Knowledge Power, I “invited” them all over.
The reason I didn’t take them back to reality immediately was that I wanted to ask how other academies should handle the extraordinary beings.
Although I had some thoughts in mind, like those who wished for my d*ath, it would still be necessary to consider the position of the Witch Academy.
After all, the number of extraordinary beings affected this time was a bit too many.
Even last time when they ambushed me, the extraordinary beings who died were only from the Dragon bl**d Academy, and this time… it was all top extraordinary academies gathering here!
Each academy has at least dozens of extraordinary beings, and if they all got lost in the Primordial Dream World, the losses to those extraordinary academies would be beyond description.
At this moment, the witches of the Witch Academy were gathering.
“Mm~ Xiao Han noticed us.” Mei Linde spoke up.
Then she felt a familiar wave of Knowledge Power and a strong aura of order guiding her towards the unfolding colossal scroll.
“It’s time to go, let’s see what great commotion Xiao Han has stirred up.” Principal Beif Alanna also accepted the anchoring of the Knowledge Power very excitedly, and then the whole group of witches quickly crossed the immeasurable distance of dreams under the guidance of the Knowledge Power.
When they landed steadily on the massive scroll, they found that this scroll was not blank.
However, they could not see the contents clearly or completely, only vaguely recognizing that the images on it resembled a child’s careless doodle.
Yet, as they stood on it, the surface felt surprisingly smooth.
As Bai Yu and the two Heads of Academies arrived here, Mei Linde once again saw another figure being drawn over from another direction.
It was none other than the Betrayer Witch Sheril.
“What a coincidence~ You’re all here?” Upon seeing Mei Linde and the group of witches, Sheril genuinely struck up a conversation.
“I’m surprised you’re here too; perhaps you should thank Xiao Han for bringing you over.” Mei Linde replied.
“Of course! Don’t hold too much prejudice against us Betrayer Witches, alright? I’m not ungrateful~”
However, while they were conversing, several more figures appeared on this scroll.
Their poses were quite awkward, even a bit roughly thrown onto this scroll, creating a stark contrast with the witches.
Mei Linde quickly recognized these individuals; they were all extraordinary beings from other extraordinary academies!
However, they now looked quite miserable, as if they had been tormented by those dream creatures, and their spirits were not entirely normal.
But their life levels as extraordinary beings were still not enough to be completely torn to shreds by those dream creatures.
If they wanted to live normally after this… it would be difficult.
Perhaps they would be left with indelible psychological scars.
“Sister Bai~ Heads of Academies, and… these few witch sisters, you must be okay, right?”
I looked at the figures that had just arrived on the scroll and inquired; if their situation was not good, I would immediately send them back to reality.
“We’re fine, but you, your situation…” At this moment, Sister Bai took the lead in asking with concern.
“Me? I’m doing wonderfully right now~ But these guys seem to be in a bit of trouble.” With one hand gently resting on the side of the scroll, I pointed at those extraordinary beings and smiled.
“Bai Yu, let me talk to Xiao Han.” At this moment, Mei Linde stepped forward to address Bai Yu.
“Mm…” Bai Yu hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
“Xiao Han, you brought us here to ask how these guys should be dealt with, right?”
“Huh? Mei Sister figured it out? I was just about to ask~” I responded with mild surprise.
However, in the current situation, it was indeed easy for an observant person to see what was going on.
As for how to handle these guys, I honestly didn’t know what to do.
After all, their situation was tied to the overall dynamics of the Main World.
While I was talking with Principal Mei, many of the extraordinary beings who were being tormented by dream creatures were starting to react.
With my appearance, many dream creatures had fled, leaving these guys behind, so they had to thank me for their survival.
“Indeed! This is all a scheme by your witches! You’ve calculated us all!”
“You witch group is really something; I never expected you to have such terrifying advancements in your research on the Primordial Dream World! You did this to keep us here?”
“Let us go; there’s still plenty of things to discuss. Do you witches really want to see the Main World perish along with you?!”
At this moment, I exchanged a glance with Principal Mei and instinctively smiled. It seemed some people hadn’t realized the situation.
Those who had recognized the circumstances were now too intimidated to speak.
“Mei Sister, these guys know too much. If you ask for my personal opinion, I actually don’t want them to return to reality. Just say the word, and I can use hundreds of methods to make them lose themselves in the depths of the Primordial Dream World, never to return to reality.”
“Sigh~ Xiao Han, your words are a bit extreme. After all, they are important leading scholars from various extraordinary academies; their value is worth more than their own lives.”
Principal Mei and I exchanged banter, which instantly silenced them.
This feeling of having life and d*ath decided in conversation was a very peculiar experience for both sides.
“So what should we do with these guys?”
“Of course, we should maximize their value.”
“Then… they know too much. If we let them go…” I feigned a troubled look as I spoke.
“I! We are willing to sign the most stringent Witch Contract! We swear we will not disclose any information!”
Just then, among the group of extraordinary beings, one who resembled a Holy Angel suddenly shouted loudly, with a voice so harsh it was hard to believe he could truly be a Holy Angel.
“d*mn it! You spineless birdman!”
Seeing someone surrender so readily, another person immediately berated him. Clearly, he was still hoping to gamble that the Witch Academy wouldn’t dare target so many extraordinary beings.
But this birdman broke their only bargaining chip by yielding in advance.
In the next moment, the one who had shouted was blasted away by a great force, directly falling off the scroll into the deeper layers of the Primordial Dream World.
This sudden change made them once again realize the current situation.
They had already become helpless fat meat on the chopping block, left for the witches to slaughter at will!
I retracted my hand and watched indifferently at the consciousness that fell into the Primordial Dream World, feeling that it was too good for them to d*e like this.
However, Principal Mei, mistaking my dazed expression for feeling something about what just happened, spoke up.
“Don’t mind them, Xiao Han. Our Witch Academy has already notified them about the dream disaster in the Expanding Realm in advance, so we have sufficient reason to separate the losses of this incident from our Witch Academy publicly.”
“You! You witches have indeed laid out your plans in advance… I… I said nothing…”
After hearing Mei Linde’s words, one of them was so furious he wanted to question it, but upon seeing my threatening gaze, he simply shut his mouth in surrender.
