Chapter 1086: Dream Editing Technique
“Sage Sister, can you put me down? I want to try walking in reality!” Yu Meng said excitedly, shaking her little short legs at me.
“Okay~ But you have to be careful,” I nodded and agreed to her request, carefully placing her on the ground.
Her pair of delicate little feet stood in the grass, feeling the coolness of the plant leaves, filled with novelty and strong anticipation.
I watched her, unable to float and play freely like in the Soul Dream Realm of Fool Dream. Instead, she could only try to get up on all fours.
I didn’t help her but kept encouraging her. After all, there were some things that Yu Meng had to try herself, like experiencing gravity and balance since she had never been in reality before. She needed to learn to stand and walk based on that foundation.
Practice is such a wonderful thing.
In her continuous attempts, I was surprised to find that she instinctively grasped the use of the Dream Transformation talent before learning to stabilize her center of gravity and walk upright!
“Huh? Whoa?!”
Yu Meng looked at herself floating up and found that this posture was almost the same as in the Fool Dream Realm!
“This is what I mentioned to you a while ago~ You, who were born from the dream, still possess the instinct to return to the dream even when you descend into reality, and this is the bloodline power you hold, the original bloodline power of dreams!”
“Wow… how amazing!” Once back in the dream, Yu Meng immediately began playing freely, like a fish returning to the sea.
“Be careful not to float too high! If you return to reality from a high place, you’ll fall!”
I reminded her as she flew higher and higher.
Predictably, Yu Meng returned to reality high above, feeling the sensation of freefalling in reality.
After all, the newly born Yu Meng couldn’t control her talent freely yet.
I waved my hand and cast a spell to catch Yu Meng.
I lifted her up with a blanket wrapped around her and tied it up.
“Be good~ That high up, your little body can’t handle it… Although d*ath for you equals returning to the Fool Dream Realm, if you want to come back to reality, it’ll cause me trouble again, you understand?”
“Mmhm… yes! I understand! Sorry, Sage Sister… I was too… too proud!” Yu Meng squirmed in the blanket I wrapped her in, quickly apologizing and assuring that she wouldn’t play pranks on herself again.
“You~ first find some clothes to wear, of course, before that, learn to walk well. After all, you’ve come to reality, you should learn to utilize the rules of reality, not just rely on the dream to cheat, understand?”
“Understood!”
“That’s good. You are the first to emerge from the hundred Fool Dream Eggs, so you are the older sister to the remaining ninety-nine. As the elder sister, you need to set a good example, just like Yu Lan and Yu Yun. Take them as your role models, okay?”
“Mmhm! Sister Yu Lan and them are our role models!”
“Then keep up the good work!”
After calming down this lively and curious Yu Meng, I began preparing clothes for them.
In fact, there are specially designed clothes for Yu Meng in the Witch Academy, especially the Witch Cat Jia, who loves to design all kinds of cute and unique outfits for Yu Meng, so she almost never wears the same outfit every day.
The clothes I prepared for Yu Meng were the new ones I brought from there.
At this moment, after several wobbly attempts, Yu Meng finally stood up shakily. Then she moved to the place where I prepared the clothes for her, curiously picking up a few outfits to compare, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
Yu Meng’s knowledge base is not inferior to any ordinary person, and during the creation of the Fool Dream Eggs, I stuffed each one with a Great Knowledge Seed.
So even when arriving in reality, they can use the Great Knowledge Seed to directly receive knowledge from the Great Knowledge Tree, just like in the Fool Dream Realm.
The hatching of the Fool Dream Eggs made me wait a long time.
During these days, I didn’t remain idle. I also had Yu Lan and the others come over to help guide the group of Fool Dreams to adapt to real life while also teaching them how to master their own bloodline talents.
As the number of hatching Fool Dreams increased, I realized that the uncontrollable Dream Transformation talent could also be a danger for them.
Of course, the danger I speak of is not about falling from the sky at the end of Dream Transformation, but suddenly plunging deep into the dream while in the process of changing, with some curious Fool Dreams possibly breaking through the shallow areas of the Primordial Dream into deeper dreams and becoming lost.
Although Fool Dreams belong to dream creatures, it doesn’t mean they won’t get lost. Generally, beings lose themselves in dreams by gradually distancing from their true selves, and while Fool Dreams won’t do that, becoming lost in dreams is akin to getting lost and not finding the way home.
This also made me pay attention to something.
Reconstructing the Great Knowledge Seed of Dream Transformation!
This idea had been practiced when I entered the Primordial Dream and discovered and created the Dream Realm.
Unfortunately, the products of such practices barely reached the threshold of “usable,” but they were far from forming a system.
Extraordinary Knowledge, in itself, is a concept that can exist within dreams, so the Great Knowledge God of Dream Transformation is the last line of insurance I prepared for Fool Dreams.
The Fool Dream Realm and the place guided by the Great Knowledge God are home.
However, reconstructing the Great Knowledge Tree and the Great Knowledge God within the dream is not easy. The original Great Knowledge Tree exists within my personal consciousness’s Soul Dream, but adapting in such a manner to the Primordial Dream is challenging because there is no order of extraordinary powers as in reality.
Thus, everything must be constructed from scratch.
This is a challenge for me, but it is certainly not impossible. Once I mapped out the order of the Primordial Dream Realm, I understood that nothing is impossible within the Primordial Dream.
There are only wrong methods or ideas.
The reasons preventing me from doing so can be boiled down to three: insufficient power, incorrect thinking, and lack of ability.
To facilitate my research into the dream realm, I simply transformed into Yu Meng’s form and, through Dream Transformation, entered the Primordial Dream directly. If I had previously entered with the essence of my soul, the limitations would have been too great.
While I haven’t yet experienced any notable differences, there is indeed an indescribable distinction between entering the Primordial Dream through Dream Transformation and through the essence of the soul.
This feeling is very idealistic… but thinking of it as a Primordial Dream makes it all seem less strange.
After several days of attempts, my plan to completely reconstruct the Great Knowledge Tree of Dream Transformation has been progressing unsatisfactorily.
Until… a flash of inspiration struck me, and I thought of a concept.
Real Editing Technique!
This is a technique unique to the Witch Race, which uses real time as a foundational platform to edit and create spellbooks.
Clearly, this technique cannot be directly used in the Primordial Dream.
Because there is no real time in the Primordial Dream.
It’s like writing code without a computer; not only is there no computer, but you are also aware that you are dreaming!
Thus, Real Editing Technique has no meaning within the Primordial Dream.
This conclusion is easy to deduce.
However, I can now say… that’s your lack of ability!
Before possessing the talent for Dream Transformation, it can be said that you lacked the foundation in the Primordial Dream, such as soul essence and the accompanying Self-Awakened Body Cultivation.
Soul essence is the foundation of individuals within the Primordial Dream, while Self-Awakened Body is the means of utilizing that foundation.
It’s akin to various solid, liquid, and gaseous substances in the real world being the fundamentals, while boiling water is the method and means, so now, please establish a modern civilization!
This is a very apt metaphor.
What seems basic becomes increasingly important because it is—the cornerstone and origin of all development!
What I need to do now is structure the order using soul essence, Self-Awakened Body Cultivation, and other basics, means, experiences I summarized, and the principles I explored, transforming these into the driving force for the development of “Dream Transformation talent.”
This is a continuous process of trying, fitting, and adjusting, but I find joy in it.
Because each step forward in this novel discovery is an entirely new concept that I can’t resist! It’s an unknown field that few can reach!
Compared to the combination of soul essence and Self-Awakened Body Cultivation, the effects of Dream Transformation talent seem like the gap between a pure mechanical differential engine and a high-precision computer.
The difference between these two is already beyond comparison.
By researching and experiencing up to this point, I haven’t forgotten the intention behind my actions.
To construct the Great Knowledge Tree of Dream Transformation.
From this idea, we derive a greater ambition: to build a complete spell system of Dream Transformation, or an extraordinary system.
However, one thing must be confirmed. There are no foundations or traces of the extraordinary in the Primordial Dream, which includes so-called rituals and their derived concepts of runes, spell frameworks, and spell principles.
Yet, dreams have a completely unique logic and order of their own.
To achieve certain goals, it doesn’t necessarily involve replicating the same patterns and templates. Moreover… the effects of spells hold no significance in dreams.
Of course, obtaining what’s referred to as meaninglessness pertains to the “damage” attribute of spells, but whether the effects are different is not included in that.
However, killing and injuring do not necessarily require direct means of harming.
To realize these means, I need to construct a set of “Real Editing Technique” viable in the Primordial Dream, akin to what can be used in real light.
So until I succeed, I have provisionally named my ambition.
“Dream Editing Technique.”
This reminds me of the Dream Rewriting Spell I created; that was my first attempt at achieving my ultimate results without any means.
I believe if I had learned more about spells at that time, I might have been limited by the mature system and framework of knowledge, but precisely because I knew nothing back then, I feared nothing.
Hence, I succeeded.
However, as Teacher Ji Ji said, this kind of success was filled with too many coincidences, making it difficult for even me to replicate.
What I’m saying is not that knowledge is useless.
On the contrary, knowledge is very useful!
And knowledge and thoughts unrestricted by frameworks and thoughts… are even more terrifying.
At this moment.
I immersed my thoughts in the knowledge of “Real Editing Technique” from the Great Knowledge Tree, and most of that knowledge was contributed by Sister Bai.
A considerable portion was also provided by Belika, as she dedicated her life’s research to reserving that Reincarnation Rebirth Spell.
I was continuously learning, studying a technique that I still couldn’t master or use.
This kind of learning is not about “understanding, practicing, summarizing, and practicing again,” but about diving deep into the principles, understanding the thoughts involved.
Although this learning method is difficult, with a high threshold, it trains the thinking pattern significantly.
The essence of the spellbook is the composition and use of spells, and the foundation used differs from the spell framework—it is an “editing” technique.
Using real time as a driving feature to provide a higher level of extraordinary, summarizing the application of editing.
The spell framework applies to rune rituals, while editing techniques are another kind of application. No one has stipulated how runes must be used or constituted.
Just like the structure of spells and rune stones, and the principles of alchemy, albeit through different paths, both achieve the goal of “driving” the extraordinary.
In the Primordial Dream, apart from the dreams themselves and the accumulated information from reality, there is nothing else.
But from the initial soul to the Dream Transformation I now master, burg has become the concept existing in dreams, which is the foundation.
Therefore, Dream Editing Technique, in essence, is an application of soul and Dream Transformation talent.
If Real Editing Technique is based on real time, editing the foundation of the extraordinary (rituals and derivatives runes).
Then, Dream Editing Technique is based on the Primordial Dream, editing the foundation of dreams (soul and Dream Transformation talent).
Of course, the foundation of dreams includes much more than these; Dream State Soul Material, Dream State Soul, Dream Transformation talent, as well as Extraordinary Knowledge, even Dream State Consciousness and Dream Information, and even Dream Earth Veins.
However, not everything can be utilized, such as Dream Earth Veins. Also, not everything is effective, like Dream State Soul Material.
In the end, what remains are Dream State Soul, Dream Transformation talent, and the foundational Dream Information.
These are the bases I envisioned for the Dream Editing Technique, easily concluded through the process of elimination.
Perhaps there is much more to the foundation within the Primordial Dream, just as there are totems within the extraordinary system that are beyond understanding and utilization.
Being highly cautious isn’t suitable during the initial stages, but as I gradually rise along this path, looking further isn’t a foolish act but a courageous testimony.
