Chapter 1051: The Concept of the Elemental Sprite Slave Army
When the resolution of the Supreme Council was finalized.
The plan to open a new battlefield in the Main World faced no more obstacles, and the disaster progress in the Verdant Forest game world also directly declined.
After all, the goal had been achieved; there was no need to destroy further. Although I didn’t particularly like the elves of this world, I had not reached the obsession of needing to annihilate them all.
Of course, more than that, I was still training Mengnafu.
Upon learning the final emergency server shutdown deadline for the Verdant Forest, I wanted to use this to allow Mengnafu to try to possess combat power.
It wasn’t solely about giving her a Magic Source and a Spellbook to make Mengnafu capable of fighting.
Once, Teacher Ji said that not everyone can directly unleash spells during their first attempt with Spellbooks, and I was a special case.
So I prepared to give Mengnafu a test during this final deadline.
If she showed any talent in spells, even if it wasn’t particularly bright, I could help her shape her Self-Generated Magic Power.
After all, she wasn’t a person from the Main World, and there were far fewer people with Spirit Vision talent.
However, she had helped me quite a bit, and moreover… she was quite obedient.
This obedience was different from that of Cleveland or even Millien; it was a compliance rooted in servitude, an obedience embedded in her subconscious.
Such people, I could never encounter in the Main World. More importantly, she was pure and had a stronger natural malleability. Even if her personality “went astray” later, it wouldn’t matter much. More assistance could help me handle some trivial matters, much like how Lin Ling was the first to side with me in the battle sequence.
My requirements for Lo Nafu were very simple.
I would provide her with one thousand Magic Sources and a basic Spellbook to use these against those players.
Players in the Verdant Forest game world had limited combat power, and there wouldn’t be any strong ones, so naturally, I wouldn’t give her too powerful Spellbooks.
For example, the most basic Fireball Spell, which was quite fitting with the natural Wood Binding, or the Wind Blade Spell that left a significant impression on her.
During her training with these Spellbooks, Lo Nafu failed several times, failing the most approachable Wood Binding twice, and the Fireball Spell that I viewed as the simplest four times. However, her persistent Wind Blade Spell only failed once.
I was unsure how her talent was, but I had basically never failed when trying out Spellbooks.
What mattered more was combat skills.
Talent or effort needed to show me a spark to be worth my investment.
Meanwhile.
In the Main World.
The Soul Material restoration that had always been a hot topic in the Witch Academy had already concluded several days ago.
The last concerns about the Union Society battle had completely dissipated, and a fury named “revenge” brewed within the academy.
The Union Society’s attitude towards the Alliance of Hundred Academies shifted from a balance of consumption to strong aggression!
To put it metaphorically, the Witch Academy’s Union Society resembled a spiteful cat licking its wounds, shifting from a defensive recovery stance to a hunting position.
They were ultimately inexperienced in the academy battle, but their massive size granted them the privilege to be willful.
After the Soul Material restoration concluded, I took over the concept and framework of the “Witch Battleship Summoning Spell,” which the Life Clone could not attend to.
And I accepted the “deposit gift” from Instructor Belika; her research materials had already been incorporated into my Great Knowledge Tree.
In the end, she also gifted me a “Skyborne Vehicle Construction Spellbook.”
Indeed, it was construction, not summoning, which meant that this Spellbook was a functional Spellbook distinct from regular cultivating Spellbooks.
According to Instructor Belika, such Spellbooks were also relatively low in value among Spellbooks because they were quite difficult to cultivate into the Holy Realm’s spell field order compared to regular Spellbooks.
A Spellbook is a platform for spell research; it paves the way for witches in the promotion system to ascend to the sacred scriptures. Spellbooks provide a much easier and more systematic way to explore the threshold of the Holy Realm than purely conventional spells.
However, this made little difference to me; besides, it was just more difficult—difficult enough that she had never seen anyone generate fields with this spell before, but it wasn’t impossible.
In my hands, what if—anything is possible?
What I valued was still the derivative potential of Skyborne Vehicle Construction.
Derivative spells were typically challenging for ordinary students, but that wasn’t necessarily the case for me.
However, I still needed to set this aside.
I had more important matters to address. Until there was a definitive advance in the plan for the game world, I would use this time to continue perfecting my “Consciousness Cultivation” technique with Sister Bai in the Instance Realm, mediated by Ling Yi’s “friend.”
This technique hadn’t been completed with the Ancient Ice Remains; it was only one step away, which made it one of the most frustrating aspects for me. So I used the Wood Elemental Sprite as a medium to continue this experiment.
If all goes well, it could help me vastly improve this technique while also giving Yi a friend; that would be a win-win situation.
As for now?
I found Cleveland again.
“The plan for opening a new battlefield has now cleared all obstacles. Unless something unexpected occurs, everything will proceed steadily according to my outlined plan. However, it does take time for a world wandering in the Void to collide with the Main World; conservatively, the impact will occur next semester.”
“Next semester? Then it seems the plan will happen quite soon,” Cleveland said, a glint of excitement in her eyes. With Sister Xiaoxuan explaining this directly, it basically equated to being stable.
More than half of this semester had already passed; in just over a month, it would be a holiday again. The period preceding the holiday was often a rush for new students, and after a busy period, a new pattern in the Main World would be met!
Everything seemed to connect so smoothly that Cleveland couldn’t help but be amazed once more by the power of the figure before her.
“Um, I’ll trouble you to continue handling the Union Society matters for now. For a while, if no major events occur, I won’t take action again. However, when it comes time to close out, don’t be too lazy about seeking my help. I need to address my own matters.”
I briefly exchanged some information with Cleveland, and this short meeting came to an end.
However, after sending Cleveland off, a new guest arrived.
“Why are you looking for me again? I gaze at the Betraying Witch before me and feel like she’s usually doing nothing, and… she even has a Fool Dream sitting on her shoulder.”
Fool Tea; I still had some impression of her. I didn’t expect this girl to have taken one of my Fool Dreams!
But if that was Fool Tea’s choice, I certainly wouldn’t interfere with such freedom.
“Hey~ Sage Sister, I came to see you~” Fool Tea exclaimed excitedly upon seeing me.
“It’s indeed a surprise to see you here.” I responded to the excitement of Fool Dream, then looked at Sheryl.
“Do you believe that I promised Fool Tea to meet you?” Sheryl said, reaching toward her shoulder, and Fool Tea promptly jumped down into my arms.
“… Yes, I believe.” I instinctively embraced Fool Tea. I could feel the sincerity in this Betraying Witch, even though there was an exceptionally powerful life layer separating us.
“However, I thought you should have some matters to discuss with me too, right? Feel free to speak straightforwardly.”
“Well, I’m quite curious. Previously, I was very interested in your proposal about opening a new battlefield world. How is the progress now?” Sheryl stated directly, no longer hesitating with me as she had grown to enjoy this straightforward manner of communication.
“Not bad; the game world has thoroughly collapsed now and is very easy to control. I picked a world in the Verdant Forest that is filled with elves.”
“That sounds challenging~ At that time, Faherimimi elves will probably be jumping with excitement, right?” Sheryl laughed, “By the way, do you want me to contact some friends outside the Main World for support? According to your plan, once the game world abandons that preparatory cluster world, it won’t be restricted anymore.”
“Still no; everything is still within plan. If things go too fast, I’m afraid I won’t be able to manage it all. I even have a sense of being overwhelmed by tasks as it is,” I shook my head and declined her offer for help.
“Don’t you have Life Clones? Just create more to help you out.”
“It’s not the same; having too many Life Clones isn’t ideal. You can imagine that if I had hundreds or thousands of myself busy with tasks, what would I do once things are wrapped up?”
“Now that you mention it, that does sound like a problem. I heard from Old Mei that one of you is already enough to give her a headache, hundreds or thousands… heh heh…” Sheryl chuckled and found it amusing, “But even so, adding one or two more to lighten your burden shouldn’t be too much, right?”
“That would be unbearable for Sister.”
“Hmm? Oh… oh↘️↘️~ Sheryl paused, then reacted, revealing an expression of understanding.
I looked at Sheryl with a peculiar expression. I was merely avoiding the heavier topics.
To me, Life Clones were like a fresh start, akin to leveling up with a secondary account.
However, replicating the same strength and model bore no significance for me; strength wasn’t merely an accumulation of quantity.
Currently, having one main body and one Life Clone made no difference to me; it served a larger purpose of conducting my experiments on Infinite Magic Power.
Yet, Life Clones could be utilized for much more than such a simplistic method; using them in such a way could lead to adverse inner perceptions due to excessive use.
After all, possessing the mindset of a strong individual, I also have my own convictions.
I didn’t chat too long with Sheryl, mainly enjoying some time playing with Fool Tea.
However, at the end, Sheryl still seriously inquired about one matter.
That is: How long before I could promote to the Extraordinary in my life plan?
I didn’t answer directly but instead demonstrated something else.
With a wave of my hand, without any magic fluctuations or spell aura, the space before me gently rippled with subtle waves!
This was a manifestation of touching true light and shadow; at least, I had practically felt the threshold.
This was a sign of nearing promotion to the Extraordinary; no answer could satisfy Sheryl more than this response at that moment.
From enrollment until now…. less than two years.
This was nothing short of a miracle!
After sending off this Betraying Witch and Fool Tea, I alerted Sister Bai and then entered the Instance Realm.
This place still maintained the most basic natural features, and I had no desire to change that.
“Sister Xiao Han! You came~” Upon seeing me, Ling Yi immediately called out my name excitedly.
Now Ling Yi had already accepted my title of Sister Xiao Han; after all, I had truly been busy helping her friends for quite some time.
With Ling Yi’s enthusiastic welcome, I came before this mass of grass elemental sprite… no, it should now be called the egg of an emerging grass elemental sprite.
It had taken shape in my nurturing, possessing an almost formed body and Soul Essence, yet it still lacked the consciousness that would bring this life to vitality.
The consciousness of the grass elemental sprite wasn’t connected to the Ancient Ice Remains. I could harness the power of the Great Ice King’s immense wood to align with the life sequence of its racial origins, but the Wood Elemental Sprite requires patience, and this didn’t have the shortcuts of the Great Spellbook.
I had ample patience for this.
I had accumulated extensive knowledge on consciousness and my hands-on practice experience, allowing me to have a deeper understanding of concepts like “life sequence” and “racial authority.”
With the consciousness cultivation experiments conducted using the Ancient Ice Remains, I had no prior experience in nurturing the consciousness of the Wood Elemental Sprite.
I was merely lacking that final push.
Once I mastered this “technique,” it would represent another significant meaning.
It would mean I could create life at will!
Especially in the form of life based on the model of Wood Elemental Sprites!
While others create through endless exploration and extension, I was precisely clarifying foundational principles.
At that point, whether it be Plant Essence, Fire Element Essence, or even Wind Core, these elements nurtured by nature could be conjured by me with an outstretched hand.
What kind of scene would it be when that time comes?
However, one point must be confirmed: the naturally born elemental sprites would never hold the same place in my heart as Fool Dream.
If I had to designate them, I think… a slave army would be a good suggestion.
After all, in the world of the Verdant Forest, encountering me would already feel too ambitious with my current strength to destroy a world. But if there was a group of slave soldiers working for me, I wouldn’t be as overwhelmed.
Searching all over for players and gathering in major cities was exhausting; my mental power couldn’t cover an entire world or planet.
Thus, the technique of creating elemental sprites still holds certain value for me.
It would be even better if it could interact with the “Elemental Sprite’s Blessing” spell.
