Chapter 1090: The Value of Suspended Dreams
Setting aside those thoughts of consideration for each other, doesn’t Bai Yu want to be with Xiao Han?
No.
She does!
However, the gap in abilities leads her to uncontrollable self-reflection, and her preconceived self seems to have taken on the role of a “burden,” and then without much thought… reaches an unconscious conclusion.
But at this moment.
When resonating with heart sense, after such a reminder, she begins to accept herself with a clear conscience. Why?
Because the other party accepts her.
There are no so-called scruples, no concerns; there’s no need to think about the unfounded questions from the other party, only the need to express her emotions freely.
Because both sides understand that they can tolerate each other.
Showcasing one’s flaws, understanding the imperfections of the other, accepting that one can accommodate such discontent, and then… taking on the responsibility of one’s role.
This is a resonance beyond heart sense.
At this moment, I turn around to look at the four little ones of Fool Dream beside me.
“Yu Lan, Yu Yun~ You’ve worked hard these days~”
“Not hard at all! It’s our honor to contribute to everyone in the Fool Dream Realm!” Yu Lan takes the lead in speaking.
“That’s right! And we think it’s really fun, so does Sister Xiao Han still need our help next?” Yu Yun follows closely.
“Actually, we can leave some private space for Sister Xiao Han and Sister Bai.” Yu Guo also chimes in from the side.
The four little ones of Fool Dream follow by my side; they are no longer the naïve Fool Dreams that know nothing; they can certainly see the closeness between Bai Yu and me.
Although they cannot understand how this relationship came about, it doesn’t hinder them from knowing what they need to do.
“Alright… It seems you all know quite a bit? Since I don’t need to say it, what will you do next? Will you go back to the Fool Dream Realm to rest, or should I let you go out to play by yourselves?”
“Well… let’s go out! I want to go to the Expanding Realm; there are a lot of Fool Dream sisters there, and I think I need to guide them in adapting to real life!” Yu Lan speaks up.
“I want to go too!”
“Do you all want to go?” I look at their eager expressions, recalling Teacher Deina, “If you go there, you better not be kept by Sister Deina and not come back!”
“How could that be~”
“Exactly! We admit Sister Deina is indeed great, but we won’t forget Sister Xiao Han!”
“Alright~ But don’t play too hard over there. After standing up and giving them some advice, I send the four of them to the Expanding Realm.
As for Fool Dream’s An Lun?
Witch Academy is a safe place; even if encountering a peculiar witch, transforming into a dream, or returning to the Fool Dream Realm, they can escape.
The abilities displayed by Fool Dream at the level of the Primordial Dream are not something just anyone can meddle with.
After sending off Yu Lan and the others, I return to Bai Yu’s side.
“Did you intentionally send Fool Dream away?”
“No, it’s just that Fool Dream has become sensible, knowing to leave some private space for Sister Xiao Han, me, and you.” I say with a smile.
“Your demeanor doesn’t seem like you’re about to do any experiments; you’re not holding back, are you?”
“How could that be? Am I the kind of little witch that only thinks about silly things all day?”
“At least you seem that way when in bed.” Bai Yu candidly replies.
“And you’re not any different~” I reply without holding back.
But I am very clear that what I want to do is not this.
“What a pity~ I don’t have *desires for now; I actually have something very important that I need your cooperation with, Bai Yu.”
“Alright, what is it?”
“I have an idea in my heart; I want to let Hui Meng’s dream transformation talent benefit more witches.” I explain.
“Is that possible? Haven’t we tried so many times in the Original Dream, and I still haven’t succeeded?” Bai Yu asks.
“Of course, we haven’t succeeded; the power of talent is not yours, so you certainly can’t support it.” I explain with a smile, “It’s not like the Great Knowledge Seed, where all witches holding the Great Knowledge Seed can anchor themselves and use the derived skills from the Great Spellbook.”
“So… you mean you want Hui Meng to learn the model of the Great Knowledge Tree and distribute her own power?” Bai Yu quickly grasps this point.
“Essentially speaking, you’re right.” I nod in acknowledgment of this statement, “This idea is bound to be a very complex process. Hui Meng will undoubtedly find it difficult to understand, so I need to write this ability into the bloodline information in a special way, turning it into an instinctive talent of the bloodline, just like… fine art.”
Speaking of this, under the effect of the Primordial Great Fool Dream Transformation Technique, I once again transform into the form of Fool Dream.
“Come~ Bai Yu, do you want to have a Fool Dream of your own? Let’s create this concept that belongs to you!”
…
Witch Academy.
Time flies; in the blink of an eye, the holiday has flown by.
During this time, many things happened at Witch Academy, such as the official emergence of the first genuine witch battleship of the Union Society.
During this holiday, the Union Society did not actively incite conflict at the academy; aside from the new students’ intense competition, things were not too different from previous holidays.
Everyone in the know has been recuperating their energy, and with the approach of the Verdant Forest world, they are increasingly excited.
With Cleveland acting as an intermediary, the estimated contact point between the Verdant Forest world and the Main World has been marked on the Main World map.
It is on the continental plate where the elves reside.
Of course, it is not within Aphhemia Academy, but in the location of other branch elf academies.
Upon learning this news, the Union Society immediately began preparing various defense plans.
Even the rules for the Mage of the bl**d Flowing River Bow and Crossbow are stationed at the junction of the elven academies near Witch Academy.
There is a chaotic zone separating Witch Academy and Afumi Academy, entirely made up of strategic depths constructed by various elven branch races.
Initially, such arrangements were also meant to prevent direct land contact with the witches.
However, it is clear that Aphhemia Academy overestimated how interested witches were in them; at least in the past, Witch Academy had not caused much trouble for the elves.
Therefore, the various major elven factions have, over time, led to internal strife among themselves.
Of course, there are also hidden hands from Aphhemia Academy; they wish to keep the area in a state of war to hinder their neighbors.
And now, Witch Academy has finally revealed its fangs here.
Under Cleveland’s leadership and in conjunction with many people’s will, they have completed many blitz plans.
However, the existence of the Verdant Forest World cannot be hidden any longer.
Before the new semester begins, the three top academies have learned of this news.
Witch Academy never planned to conceal this matter from the start; after all, the extraordinary people from all academies are not blind.
But this does not prevent them from feeling shocked after learning of it.
It’s a world!
Following the Expanding Realm, the Main World is facing another “disaster” that impacts the whole world, and confronted with such a situation, they feel a chill down their spines.
But after the chill passes, there’s a lot of anxiety!
They still remember the initial situation in the Expanding Realm, which was not much different from digging for money in a safe zone.
Therefore, ultimately, both the three top academies and Witch Academy are eagerly anticipating the event.
What they do not know is that, at this moment…
In the Primordial Dream.
A great experiment is continuously being attempted.
Using dreams as a medium to share the power of dream transformation, this concept, without a doubt, seems like a madman’s dream.
And I am convinced that I am that madman, doing something that truly relates to the essence of dreams.
I want to create connections between powers; one crucial concept here is… contracts.
The power of contracts is not exclusive to the witch race, but in the Void, the binding force of witch contracts is the most well-known concept.
Establishing a contract is essentially a behavioral ritual—an inter-binding and influence between two or more powers.
Thus, using Fool Dream’s bloodline as the medium, I proposed the concept of “bloodline contracts.”
However, these talents that connect collectively are still too crude, leading to the collapse of the Fool Dream’s bloodline power. This requires constant testing to probe a critical point.
Don’t think that this process sounds simple; the consequences of failure can lead to the interruption of dream transformation!
That’s a deadly outcome. I have already used the Reincarnation Rebirth Technique for my sister’s real-life resurrection more than once.
“This time… it must succeed!”
I invoke the original power of my bloodline through the power of the Primordial Great Fool Dream Transformation Technique to establish a contract with my sister.
At this moment, my sister can also feel a wonderful resonance as if both sides reach a level of bloodline blending.
Then, she began to feel an uncontrollable power “covering” her through the bridge of the established contract.
It’s familiar to her, as this is the effect conveyed by a contract rooted in bloodline.
She personally witnesses her form gradually shifting to a more ethereal state, one that belongs to the dream transformation of Fool Dream!
After a long moment.
“Did we succeed?” Bai Yu’s voice echoes in the Primordial Dream.
“Maybe.”
“But I don’t feel the Fool Dream’s talent power being usable by me.” Bai Yu raises her fist, hesitatingly commenting, “It’s more like a covering of power, forcing me to passively realize this effect.”
“This seems to be the limit of dream transformation; this is no longer just a blending of bloodlines but even a resonance between the dream-state souls!”
In the Primordial Dream, my Fool Dream incarnation flows past Bai Yu.
“Will this limitation be too great? This completely binds the relationship between Fool Dream and witches; not only is it risky, but it’s also counterproductive.”
“Bai Yu~ When looking at things, set aside the application layer first. At least we’ve tested the boundary limit of dream transformation; that’s an objective fact that cannot be changed.”
“I understand… but… if that’s the case, do you want to bind Fool Dream’s fate completely to witches?”
“This is a choice, a special relationship. I’ve never let Fool Dream create such a binding relationship with anyone; it will be a talent. This ability exists within; it can be unused but not absent. Sharing the dream talent is their inherent value, but whether to establish a contract is Fool Dream’s choice… After all, Fool Dream is free; as long as Fool Dream isn’t willing, this relationship between the talent can be dangerous.”
“Xiao Han… why are you so obsessed with studying this ability?”
“Fool Dream must have their value of existence to have equal qualifications in future interactions with witches. Otherwise, their value of existence would be founded on witches’ tolerance of adorable things, then their positioning would forever only be as pets. I don’t want Fool Dream to be pets; instead, they should be… companions, friends.” I explain.
Assigning intrinsic value to Fool Dream does not mean objectifying them by measuring their existence with value; it’s a complex relationship.
Just like lazy people are doomed not to have friends, appreciation or aversion to a person is also a measure of value.
The value of the individual is like clothing; it leaves a first impression, sparking a person’s desire to explore the other, establishing a channel for mutual understanding. If Fool Dream does not have a talent that arouses witches’ attention, will many witches really treat Fool Dream as equals?
No, absolutely not.
Even Teacher Deina’s mindset towards Fool Dream is one that resembles treating a pet, even showing a strong possessive desire towards domination of a pet.
At this moment.
My answer also suddenly clarifies Bai Yu’s doubts; even though saying it this way is too blunt, a careful thought does indeed lead to this conclusion.
Not everyone possesses a nearly saintly spiritual realm or cognitive perspective; adult social interaction is such a full exchange of interests, and what is called appreciation and tacit understanding is all by-products based on value.
I do not have the ability to bind everyone to think or act in a certain way, so I can only change myself, change the value of dreams themselves.
As the saying goes, personal value is for others to see, not for people to scold.
Fool Dream should be the same; shaping the correct value concept for Fool Dream, aligning with the core recognition, seeking spiritual resonance, and preventing malicious use from tarnishing this pure friendship and feeling is an essential course for Fool Dream to break free from the fate of “becoming a tool for others.”
Now, I have accomplished the initial self-value for Fool Dream.
Though inscribing this ability into Fool Dream’s bloodline, turning it into their own talents and instincts is somewhat difficult, I enjoy challenging these difficulties.
