Chapter 1019: The Despair Threshold of Infinite Magic Power
“It’s a success, right?”
At this moment, Sister Bai, who stayed in the Primordial Dream Laboratory, asked by my side.
“Yeah, it’s a success,” I nodded at Sister Bai, but added at the end, “However, the Life Clone died; it died from… infinite magic power.”
“Why?” Sister Bai’s heart tightened when she heard about the Life Clone’s death.
She was somewhat afraid that after I found the method to succeed, I would directly make myself the next subject of the experiment. If something went wrong, it would be a real problem!
“Don’t worry~ I value my life!” I immediately comforted her.
And I wasn’t joking with this statement. Without understanding the Resurrection Spell and the essence of life, I wouldn’t involve myself with anything related to death. Without understanding the soul and the Soul Dream, I wouldn’t joke with my own soul. Without understanding the Life Clone and life consciousness, I wouldn’t joke about my own life.
Unknown death has always been the bottom line of my actions; I would never cross it by even a half step.
“Before I succeed with infinite magic power, I won’t joke with my life. As for why I say it was a success, but the Life Clone still died… that’s a different reason.”
Once it was confirmed that I wouldn’t take risks, Sister Bai visibly relaxed.
Because she didn’t know what to do if I really insisted on going forward.
In theory, Bai Yu knew she shouldn’t be a stumbling block on the path ahead of Xiao Han, but she also didn’t want Xiao Han to die right in front of her.
Now that she had received my promise, of course, she felt relieved.
“Was it something of that nature?” Sister Bai opened up and asked.
She had been committed to understanding what Xiao Han was doing, whether it was in the Dream Realm, the Fool Dream Life Experiment, or this infinite magic power, all because she didn’t want to have a chasm-level gap in understanding with Xiao Han.
Because once that situation arose, serious issues would occur, leading to a mutual lack of understanding. So, she was putting in the effort.
And now she had encountered such a problem, and perhaps it would become even more severe in the future.
If she could also understand the infinite magic power, grasp the operation principles of this talent, recognize the difficulties and dangers involved, and make danger assessments like Xiao Han, then she wouldn’t need to say anything grand and empty like “stay safe,” but could actually lend a hand when Xiao Han needed it most.
She had talked about this problem with many witches, including Principal Mei.
Faced with this situation, the paths Bai Yu could choose ultimately led down two routes.
One was the easiest… unconditionally believing that Xiao Lian wouldn’t cause any trouble by herself; the other was to strive to climb, not needing to be better than Xiao Lian, but just keeping pace, understanding Xiao Lian’s level, and that would be enough.
But both routes led to the same conclusion: if you don’t understand, it’s better not to say too much, and the only thing that seemed to be said was… “stay safe.”
Emotions anchor both parties; how could Xiao Lian not care about your expectations? — Mei Linde.
Her life was hollow; you are the only unexpected intrusion. — Still Mei Linde.
As an academy head, the time and energy Mei Linde spent on Bai Yu were not insignificant.
While Bai Yu was recalling these words, my voice gradually rang out.
“Void Rifts are the infinite breakthrough points of the Void itself. The conclusion is to deconstruct properties and weave characteristics to better utilize those traits. This is the fundamental thought behind the existence of the infinite magic power talent. ‘I summarized the results from all the time and energy I spent earlier in a few sentences.’
Whether it was the conclusion that led to the creation of the Great Ice and Snow Throne Technique to observe the Void Rifts, or applying this understanding to practically kill an Extraordinary to prove the results, it’s a matter full of steampunk inspiration.
If the value and difficulty of a matter are determined by the time spent, then inspiration becomes worthless.
As for the subsequent “deconstruct properties” and “weave characteristics,” they are even more challenging, and at one point, I felt that the further improvement plan for the Great Knowledge Tree must be on the agenda.
“The essence of the infinite magic power talent is to form a source of magic power from within itself. In theory, the life magic talent achieves this idea, but it is still not enough for me.”
“Void Rifts are by no means merely cracks; the Void carries everything, so it could be torn open by the forces it carries. Just like how matter in physical space cannot tear the material space apart, it can only twist it with massive matter. To tear, it must involve powers from outside the material space.”
While I was explaining to Sister Bai, I demonstrated beside her using space magic. To clarify a complex concept, some analogies are needed to aid understanding.
And just as I was speaking, I noticed a figure arriving; it was Principal Mei.
She signaled for me to continue and did not mean to interrupt, quietly listening by the side.
“Thus, the Void Rifts themselves are not just cracks in the Void; rather, they unveil the true face of the Void or its properties in this way.”
“Actually, there’s another conjecture, or rather evidence, that the order of the Holy Realm can interfere with the Void Rifts, so the Void Rifts can never be cracks in the Void itself.”
“To endure the infinite magic power talent, I ultimately need to build a series of concepts into the essence of my soul, just like with the self-generated magic talent, and the result of this is… once everything is set up, my own soul essence needs to withstand the impact of the Void Rifts.”
“I need a field order closely related to my own soul essence to protect myself from being torn apart by the Void Rifts; the Heart Realm Field achieved through Body Cultivation’s sixth sense is the most suitable field order.”
With that said, I had laid out the foundational principles of the infinite magic power, and now I would address the question Sister Bai had asked earlier.
“The reason the Life Clone died is due to two reasons: first, too much essence of life was consumed in understanding infinite magic power, and it had already fallen into a desperate situation; second, the field I grasped was merely a form of the field, only capable of interfering with and resisting the Void Rifts to a certain extent.”
“So, to truly complete the framework of the infinite magic power talent, a full grasp of complete field power is required.”
“Hmm…”
At that moment, Mei Linde lightly coughed as she approached from behind.
“Sister Mei, this time I’m troubling you to help me solve a big problem.” I looked at Principal Mei; since she spoke, it meant she wanted to say a couple of things.
The big window was open.
From below, it could cleverly align with the big hole in the curtain wall.
“The subsequent matters will be straightened out by the academy. Xiao Han… I just heard you say you wanted to construct infinite magic power, and you need to advance to the Holy Realm, right?” Mei Linde spoke.
“Um… I do need a complete field, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be the Holy Realm; I’m not yet Extraordinary.” I explained.
“Actually, it’s kind of the same…”
“Actually, there’s a big difference. The threshold of the Holy Realm is a complete field. I have a way to establish the foundation for the Holy Realm right now.” I said.
Mei Linde paused for a moment before continuing, “You’re not Extraordinary, how can you surpass the limit to reach the level of self-circulating field? If you can’t achieve that, you won’t be able to accomplish infinite magic power.”
“Then start with a pseudo-infinite magic power approach, with a complete field as a phased goal, shaping a complete self-circulating field order to construct the framework for infinite magic power!”
“…So, this is the successful method you’ve come up with, and it’s also how your Life Clone died before?” Mei Linde fell silent again, and then realizing something, she looked at me and said.
“Right, don’t worry! I won’t take risks with myself. I will continue using a brand new Life Clone for practical applications. Before this technique is successful, I won’t use it on myself.”
“I can see your worries, Principal Mei,” I assured.
After all, Principal Mei wasn’t Sister Bai. Sister Bai believed unconditionally in what I said, but Principal Mei was a bit concerned.
However, the matter wouldn’t be halted because of Principal Mei’s worries.
If my hypothesis materializes, then a miracle will occur! Even without advancing to being Extraordinary!
But in Principal Mei’s words, it was called the Holy Realm because the upgraded field power lies beneath the threshold of the Extraordinary; the power can transcend real time.
Even if I grasp the complete Holy Realm, without advancing to Extraordinary, it would be challenging to intervene in the levels of real time purely based on Spirit Vision.
In simpler terms, the Holy Realm beneath the Extraordinary still cannot kill the Extraordinary, but the Holy Realm above the Extraordinary can crush the Extraordinary with just a finger.
From here, it is evident that the “Extraordinary” level is far more valuable than the Holy Realm.
Even the artificially defined level boundaries cannot surpass the level boundaries of the Void itself.
“Xiao Han, how do you plan to view this talent of infinite magic power? According to your statement… it derives from self-generated magic power, so will you promote it?” Principal Mei asked with great determination, adopting a relatively objective attitude. If she asked herself, she would not want Xiao Lian to promote such a talent.
“How to view it… to me, it is just a talent, as well as an enhancement to my foundation. As for promoting it… Sister Mei~ once I say it, how many witches would truly be able to reach it?”
“So, Xiao Han plans to promote it, right?” Upon hearing this answer, Mei Linde’s face relaxed a lot.
Indeed, as Xiao Han’s inquiries deepened, their applicability became more limited.
Xiao Han’s character is not that of a stingy type, but she is not the kind of Saintly Mother either. Everything she has promoted and shared throughout her journey, from spells to techniques, has been suitable for her own use.
Perhaps if Xiao Han had taken a different path from the beginning, she might still have achieved this level, but the only unchanging aspect is that everything Xiao Han creates is absolutely tailored to herself.
Xiao Han is advancing step by step, and among the witches moving forward along her path, who would dare to claim they can surpass her?
“I don’t intend to promote it; its threshold and requirements are too high. Making it public would only lead people astray. Each witch has her own path, and following it blindly, paying the price, is only to serve as a stepping stone I’ve built; it’s not worth it.”
“I think the same, but the concept of infinite magic power is indeed very tempting to witches. Xiao Han, are you sure you want to disclose this concept?”
“Can this kind of ability be hidden?” I smiled, countering with a question.
Hearing me ask this, Mei Linde understood I didn’t plan to hide it.
Infinite magic power is not like the Dream Realm, which can decisively influence the layout of the Main World; so theoretically, there shouldn’t be any issues with disclosure.
“However, to make it public like this… it still requires certain thresholds to thoroughly deter them,” Mei Linde suggested, then looked at me with a smile, “Xiao Han~ just casually tell me a few, and I’ll help you spread the word. That way, in the future, you can reduce the majority of witches trying to negotiate with you over infinite magic power.”
“Um… I understand.” Seeing Principal Mei in this manner, I thought for a while and summarized some thresholds: “First is Self-Awakened Body Cultivation…”
“Is it Self-Awakened Body Cultivation again?” After hearing this, Mei Linde felt somewhat numb. Is Body Cultivation really that important?
But even for the Extraordinary witches, who primarily rely on magic, there is also an element of witch transformation in their promotion systems; so Mei Linde was indeed not wrong in her thoughts.
“Right, starting from Self-Awakened Body Cultivation, requiring self-generated magic power; it needs to be primarily guided by Self-Awakened Body Cultivation, completing the shaping and framework of prototype self-generated magic power. Firstly, it’s crucial to clarify that the self-generated magic power I created does not belong to the prototype self-generated magic power but is derived from the prototype to connect to the self-generated magic power of the Extraordinary witch race.”
“…” Mei Linde was left silent, clearly not expecting such harsh requirements entailed.
“Then a field is necessary, and the field must be closely related to the essence of the soul. The preferred field order would be the Heart Realm Field manifested through the sixth sense of Body Cultivation.”
“…”
“Most importantly, the mastery of the root totem is essential; it must be a completely revealed and understood totem, not a half-baked totem power learned from others. The origin of the totem should ideally be closely related to the essence of the soul as well.”
“Only if all these requirements are met can it be barely counted as reaching the threshold. Sister Mei, do you think these should be sufficient?”
“Ahem… I think it should be enough.” Mei Linde quickly nodded, coming back to her senses, “Oh, by the way, I also received a request from someone. You’re not unfamiliar with Sheryl, right? She asked me whether you know what she is doing.”
“Her? I don’t… why does she want to ask about this?”
“She doesn’t have the access to enter the experiment zone, so she could only come to me for help. I’m preparing to discuss it with her shortly.”
“Oh, I see?” I chuckled as I replied, not expecting Principal Mei to have that Betraying Witch reach out to her; it seemed she had another side to her.
