Chapter 1044: Opening a New Battlefield in the Main World?
With the assistance of reincarnation rebirth and soul drawing, the process of restoring soul material has gone much more smoothly than I initially expected.
In just a short while, the damage at the soul material level has been completely repaired. The restoration at this level will allow them to quickly adapt to the essence of life as it should be. Issues like sluggish reactions and dazed states, along with an inability to concentrate, can basically be resolved.
The only issue… is memory.
Memory is a fascinating existence; it isn’t a continuous image, nor can it capture every detail like a video.
Even if lost memories are related to other memories, a person will automatically fill in the gaps. As long as something isn’t completely forgotten, associations will complete the memory.
Unless it is a complete loss of life essence like what happened to Ruizhi, where all memories were lost, there shouldn’t be too many problems.
After completing the soul material restoration for these individuals, I directly awakened them.
Once awakened, they reacted as if they had just woken up from a nightmare!
The memories that had felt like nightmares in their minds, under complete restoration of soul material, transformed into intense fear and emotional upheaval. Under the soothing of my emotional body cultivation, they quickly regained their composure.
Such intense emotional fluctuations also represent a good opportunity for perception and emotional body cultivation practice.
Of course, these are merely side effects. Restoring soul material cannot be avoided; I have to find something to occupy myself with besides the more straightforward body cultivation, such as observing the relationship between life essence and consciousness during restoration.
“Are you feeling better now?” I asked as I helped the young girl sitting up. I could understand her despair in facing such situations and her panic after the incident; they also need time to calm their emotions.
However, having only endured the problem of damaged soul material means that all they need now is some level of psychological guidance.
They were originally the most elite senior students in the club, with strong life levels amidst the dangers of combat. I don’t think they’d still be stuck in a sense of death once the defects and weaknesses at the soul material level have been removed.
If such a person really exists… it’s an issue for the Union Society. Anyway, I’m only responsible for restoring soul material.
I glanced at the remaining soul crystals in my hand and assessed the level of consumption, currently within a range I can accept.
As for cutting corners?
I’m not so desperate as to skimp on using a bit more soul crystals for this. The reason I do this is to ensure clarity of thought; if I cut corners, how can I remain clear-headed?
After soothing these students, I waved my hand and opened the doors to the treatment room. Lulu Mia, who had been waiting outside, hurried in.
“Miss Teaching Assistant, is there anything we can help with?” Lulu Mia asked as she entered.
Then, upon seeing the assembled group, she immediately realized what had happened and tentatively inquired, “So… have they recovered?”
“Exactly, their soul material has been restored,” came the voice of Instructor Belika, as it’s important to play the role fully.
I added, “Yes, that’s correct. You all should get the people outside to move them out. If possible, provide some psychological guidance since they’ve gone through such an experience.”
“Understood!” Lulu Mia quickly instructed a few people behind her to assist the students who were the first batch to complete soul material restoration.
They have the duty to observe their recovery state, after all, since some mental aftereffects are inevitable even when the soul material is intact, which could relate to future public opinion guidance from the Union Society.
The few awakened girls cooperated and rose, some glancing at me with words unspoken, but with my heart sense, I could generally perceive what she wanted to express.
She seemed to feel that she might not need psychological guidance, which proved that post-restoration, it was indeed very necessary for them.
“Quickly arrange the next batch, send in a few more to fill the treatment chairs here, so we don’t waste too much time,” I said.
“Sure, right away!”
Lulu Mia and her subordinates exhibited outstanding execution capabilities with rapid efficiency and obedience to orders.
The second batch of patients was soon arranged, and then it was time for me to continue my repetitive practice.
While I was busy, outside the treatment room, Lulu Mia quickly arranged for professional personnel to conduct psychological guidance and testing for these individuals.
Currently, the first batch of students who had restored their soul material seemed to be in relatively stable condition, and besides some mental unease, previously recorded symptoms had significantly vanished.
This was undoubtedly great news!
So, Lulu Mia promptly relayed this information back to the All-purpose Workshop, as they were the ones who arranged this medical room and these individuals.
Upon learning of the situation, the All-purpose Workshop hastily convened a temporary joint meeting to announce this within the Union community.
This news needed to be made public as it was not only a response to the injured but also for those who had not experienced the blood ritual within the combat sequence.
The intention was to alleviate their worries; even in the face of death and soul damage, the academy has ways to restore and perfect it!
And the Union Society would not commit the error of the blood ritual ceremony again!
One could say that the convening of this joint meeting finally counts as good news.
After drafting suggestions regarding academy webpage announcements, the eight core protective societies also raised some crossroads issues encountered during this time.
For instance, various disturbances from the Alliance of Hundreds of Academies and the negative labels from the Blood Slave Peninsula being pinned on the Witch Academy are troublesome matters requiring specific solutions.
Moreover, regarding the Blood Slave Academy issue, following the complete destruction of the blood ritual ceremony, the combat sequence led by the Fire House completed the body rescue, staying behind to eliminate potential dangers. The Blood Slave Academy has now effectively fallen into the hands of the Witch Academy.
Including a series of subsequent family stability measures, the unfolding of the Wanlian Main Network Tree, the promotion of the power network, and the societal trend of blood donation as a means of survival, all require methods to resolve.
Such situations will encounter significant resistance—not only from the Blood Slave Peninsula but also from the influence of other extraordinary academies.
Ideas and concepts are deeply ingrained; the vast majority of people prefer comfort over change, as change signifies countless opportunities, and one misstep could topple the greatest leaders!
It is a task that requires steadfast execution by real individuals!
Moreover, with the Witch Academy igniting an academy war, this semester’s end will face another issue.
That is the unified global college entrance exam and enrollment, as well as the issue of volunteer registration!
While the college entrance exam is globally unified, the number of applicants is still somewhat restricted within the influence of academy territories.
Like the covered Dayrock Elf Academy, they have significant sway over local students. Children from ordinary families are born to exchange for the benefits and daily necessities provided by the academy, such as food rations.
And this is just one academy.
What about other academies?
Essentially the same; remote areas have higher influence while affluent regions are dazzled by the titles and prestige of the three major top academies.
Every year, during the new student registration, the Witch Academy’s aggressive competition for students occurs for a reason.
Or perhaps this behavior of competing for students has, to a certain extent, broken the bias regions held against extraordinary academies.
However, looking at the extraordinary level, the Witch Academy not being able to enroll students is merely a minor issue and just a temporary pain for them.
The main world is undergoing a transformation!
When the time comes, driving out other extraordinary races, the main world will ultimately be at the mercy of the witches.
As for the previously considered enhancement of the main world’s diversity, all of this will have to be based on the premise of witch dominance!
Once the witches dominate the main world, they won’t be apprehensive about the existence of other institutions like the Wizard Academy, Holy Angel Academy, or Elf Academy in the main world; their presence merely enriches the bloodline diversity of the Witch Race.
However, none of this will be possible until the “World-Destroying Staff Plan” is resolved.
In fact, the current situation in the main world does not require controlling the world’s pulse to succeed; all that’s needed is to disrupt the World-Destroying Staff Plan and diminish the power of those extraordinary races to break the main world, leaving them suppressed and unable to cause significant ripples!
And such a daunting task is now placed on the shoulders of the Union Society in another way.
It can be said that starting now, the Witch Academy is truly fully supporting the actions of the Union Society. After all, at the extraordinary level, further direct action is no longer possible. Therefore, the student level is the only—freest hand!
But the things this hand can accomplish are few.
No matter what they do, they cannot touch any key aspects of the World-Destroying Staff Plan.
Yet, nonetheless, this still provides a glimmer of hope. What if?
Regarding this situation, Principal Mei is also very clear; she has contemplated many plans.
At this moment.
In Principal Mei’s office.
My life clone has stayed here to discuss some upcoming plans with Principal Mei.
Although it sounds somewhat modest, excluding extraordinary-level witches, I’m the only one below that she can absolutely trust.
However, here’s some good news: with this, I can create many through my life clone method.
But I haven’t decided to do so yet.
In the office, there is not only me but also Sister Bai and a rather indifferent Betraying Witch.
Since the fewer witches that know about the World-Destroying Staff Plan, the better, Principal Mei could only summon these few for discussion.
“Sister Mei~ I’ve thought of an idea, how about… opening a brand-new battlefield in the main world?” I proposed.
In the current main world, it can be anticipated that the Union Society will face ongoing clashes with the Alliance of Hundreds of Academies for a considerable period.
The three top academies also cannot directly declare war; the risk is too great.
“Open a new battlefield? What do you mean?” Principal Mei curiously asked. “Are we talking about exploring the Expanding Realm? That’s inappropriate, and the Expanding Realm is in a high-speed developmental stage, making it unsuitable for warfare.”
“No, I mean the Game World,” I replied.
“The Game World… I was just about to bring up that world,” Principal Mei sighed, because having signed the Extraordinary Non-Interference Contract, their gaze had seldom been directed toward it.
Currently, the invasion of the Game World into the main world has almost disappeared; the initial pioneer players can hardly stir up any storm, mainly maintaining certain degree of contact with those extraordinary races.
“Yes, exactly the Game World! Sister Mei remembers when you previously instructed me that a collision between worlds would cause terrible effects? Perhaps we can use the Game World to physically establish a new battlefield.”
“Is that possible? The Game World currently lacks the conditions to collide with the main world; although they are close, that requires extraordinary levels to impact. Have you forgotten the Extraordinary Non-Interference Contract?”
“The Game World is a void-dwelling world; their All Worlds Terminal likely has some agency relationship with the world’s will. Thus, the Supreme Council members who control the order of the All Worlds Terminal can decide the world’s movement through the void, which I wanted to explain.”
“Don’t tell me you have mastered the extreme of the Game World terminal!”
“Principal, you sound somewhat surprised,” I noted, but she seemed to think of something and continued, “I must be thinking too much. The Game World’s will likely knows the situation of the main world. Even if the will isn’t consciousness, the instinct built into the extraordinary races cannot be avoided, and the Game World still cannot collide with the main world. The battlefield you envisioned is highly improbable to be realized.”
“What if only the affiliated worlds of the Game World were to collide? The Game World is merely a mid-tier world transitioning into a large world cluster, meaning the worlds being collected around the Game World are not part of it. A small world being collected, I think could potentially open up a new battlefield in the main world?”
“Wouldn’t that operation be too complicated?” Principal Mei questioned, frowning; she had some other more convenient plans.
“I have already, through external avatars, seized the authority of the Supreme Council of the Game World. The game instances of the Game World have already been laid out. Within, several worlds have already spread my reverse summoning spell’s summoning ceremony.”
“When they encounter my presence within the game, I have a thousand ways to present them with reasons they can’t bear to leave this small world. At that point, the authority I control can throw this world into the main world—wouldn’t that be sufficient?”
“… After listening to my words, Principal Mei glanced at the highly amused Sheryl, then at the seriously contemplating Sister Bai, and finally turned to me and asked, “What’s your degree of confidence?”
“A conservative estimate… sixty percent.”
An additional ten percent to a fifty-fifty chance reflects my confidence in facing a problem with certain challenges and uncertainties.
