Chapter 898: The Dream State Soul Body of Fool Dream
After preliminarily organizing these Dream State Soul Materials, I did not rush to begin the experiments.
Instead, I continued to observe the current situation of Yu Yun.
Essentially, there should be no concept of “Real Time” within the original dream; Spirit Vision also cannot see Real Time within the dream.
However, Spirit Vision itself is an ability, a talent; seeing Real Time is a result, not an inherent ability.
So… in the Soul Dream, with my Soul Vision at the Floating World level, I saw deeper informational insights from Yu Yun.
Yu Yun’s Dream Consciousness carries her Dream State Soul, rooted in the Seed of Wisdom above the soul, blossoming with the sparks of memories and consciousness within the Seed of Wisdom…
In the dream, only meaningful things have the flow of information, or conversely, meaningful information constitutes the meaningful things within the dream.
Under such circumstances, I took a mass of Dream Soul Material, using Soul Drawing as a guide, along with the still-developing “Life Evolution” technique, to repair Yu Yun’s current soul “body.”
Previously, I confirmed that during Yu Yun’s “sleep,” she was gradually undergoing a “metamorphosis,” which I referred to as life’s self-perfection.
I must say, the effect of “Life Evolution” is, in essence, quite similar to this concept.
However, after I took over Yu Yun’s soul repair, that spontaneous change briefly dissipated.
Then, Yu Yun, held in my arms, seemed to instinctively make some movements.
When she “opened” her eyes and glanced around, the first person she saw was the face she was most familiar with.
“Um… Hmm… Sister Xiao Han?”
“Yu Yun, you’re awake? I looked at Yu Yun with some surprise and unexpected joy, not expecting her to sleep for such a short period this time.”
“What is ‘Sister Xiao Han’ doing?”
“The ‘second batch of Dream State Soul Materials has been completed’~ so I’m helping you enhance your Soul Essence. Does it feel better?”
“It feels… strange…”
“It’s okay, it will be fine. Just think of it as taking a nap.” I continued to comfort Yu Yun. If possible, I naturally hoped that after this soul material was perfectly restored, Yu Yun wouldn’t fall asleep unexpectedly like before.
But in reality, even I couldn’t understand exactly what was happening.
The repair of Yu Yun’s Soul Body progressed quickly; I also used the semi-finished Life Evolution technique to further refine her Soul Essence.
One day, Fool Dream will become a true life form.
Perhaps… it will be at the moment they step into reality.
Repairing the Soul Body is not only about adding sufficient soul quality to Yu Yun; more importantly, it is also about her body level. If the soul level is insufficient, Yu Yun certainly cannot transcend the boundary between reality and dreams.
Just like when Yu Yun first attempted to forcefully cross over, it only led to the collapse of her Dream State Soul.
This is quite understandable, as a weak soul-life, falling into the Primordial Dream would also lead to being lost.
Initially, when in the Expanding Realm, those students used as expendables by other academies were just like this, right?
They were still students with high life levels. Even so, they would still get lost in the Primordial Dream and become monsters that even lost their sense of self, then be devoured by Dream Creatures.
“How are you feeling? Yu Yun?”
After Yu Yun completed the shaping of her Soul Body, I deliberately asked.
“Um… I do feel much better than before, but it’s hard to describe what’s going on…”
“No worries; as long as you feel better, that’s fine. You still can’t remember what happened this time, right?” I comforted her a little, then casually asked.
“Um… I feel like someone was talking to me?”
“What? I just heard Yu Yun ‘um’ for a while, and I thought it was the same as before, but did not expect Yu Yun to say someone was talking?”
“Do you remember what was said? I hurriedly asked.”
“I don’t remember… Sigh, am I useless?”
“No—no—how could that be? I immediately reassured her, ‘You are the bravest, Yu Yun! It’s okay, it’s okay; what matters is not what that voice said, but who was speaking to you!'”
“Ah… is that not the same?”
“Of course not! If someone was talking to you, then I can further ascertain the situation! After all… I’ve experienced this before, haven’t I?”
“So does Sister Xiao Han know something?”
“I can’t say I know much, just a guess. I’ve also experienced the feeling that someone was talking to me! So it’s very likely a recognition of World Consciousness.”
“Recognition of World Consciousness? Yu Yun tilted her head, not quite understanding what this meant.
“For Fool Dream to become a true life form, this race needs to gain recognition from the void, and World Consciousness nurtures and interferes with the existence of life.”
So… I’m close to becoming a real life form, right! “Yu Yun asked eagerly.
“Right now, don’t get too excited! You need to calm down and not pop the champagne halfway.”
“Oh… I understand.” Yu Yun nodded. Although she didn’t know what popping the champagne halfway meant, she grasped the meaning of the phrase.
After reassuring Yu Yun, I shifted the sunlight onto Yu Lan and the others.
At this moment, they were also looking at me with great anticipation, after all, I had said that this time I would help them shape their Soul Bodies together.
Even though I had completed the shaping of Fool Dream’s soul, at this moment I preferred to refer to it as the “Soul Body” rather than “Soul Essence.”
After all, Soul Essence is the term for life. The soul body shaped for Fool Dream feels like another shell.
Their consciousness has not yet combined with the Soul Essence and the Seed of Wisdom’s grounding.
Soul Drawing is the foundation I prepared for Fool Dream, while Wisdom Endowment is the technique that combines Fool Dream with the essence of life.
“Come on~ it’s time to shape your soul bodies~” I clapped my hands and said to Yu Lan and the others, “Line up.”
“Okay!” They quickly lined up, perhaps knowing each of them could be shaped into a Fool Dream, so there was no particular order.
“Then you go first, Yu Lan.” I said, looking at Yu Lan.
In the beginning, it was also Yu Lan who first proposed to follow me.
At that time, Yu Lan was indeed the most prominent Fool Dream among the three little ones, even hiding some sister-like qualities within the Fool Dreams.
“Mm-mm~”
Yu Lan excitedly came forward without regard for supposed dangers.
And I did not hesitate further, arriving at the Fool Dream Tree to obtain Yu Lan’s memories and information.
Not just Yu Lan’s, but also Yu Guo’s and Yu Xing’s memories. I retrieved them all.
These three sets of memories floated before me, but Yu Xing’s memories were extremely vast, even combining Yu Lan’s and Yu Guo’s could not compare.
Perhaps this was the accumulation left by Yu Xing as the former leader of Fool Village.
However… although Yu Xing’s memories were immense, they were quite singular, continuously replaying the preordained life of the Dream World in the former Fool Village.
But… this was not frightening; on the contrary, they felt very happy because those were the experiences they considered real life events that happened every day, and they took joy in it.
Sometimes, there is truth in the saying that ignorance is bliss, but they encountered me, and I would lead them into a new world.
The world presented by the Great Knowledge Tree and Fool Dream puzzled and attracted them.
But with aspiration, there was also fear, which is why the vast majority of Fool Dreams still chose to stay in my Soul Dream-shaped Fool Village.
The difference is that the Fool Village is now filled with so many elements of reality; the current Fool Village is no longer the Fool Village of the Primordial Dream.
I gradually created the Soul Body for Yu Lan. Initially, I thought of doing them all together, but ultimately chose to do them one by one.
After all, it was a new attempt, and I only had experience with Yu Yun; I naturally dared not be reckless.
Watching Yu Lan’s Soul Body being shaped before my eyes, the Dream State Soul Material was being consumed without counting the cost.
As Yu Lan’s Seed of Wisdom “took root and sprouted” on the Soul Body, I understood the initial shaping was complete.
The soul… is indeed a wonderful concept.
At this moment, Bai Hua was quietly watching from the side.
She liked watching the earnest Little Liu conducting the experiment; this earnestness held a certain special charm that captivated her.
From her perspective, Little Liu was doing something remarkable—she was creating a brand new life!
Creating life!
In the past, she would have thought that was a privilege reserved for a creator.
After becoming a witch, she knew that creating life is a right of the world.
And Sister Xiao Han, at a level of a Little Witch, was doing the most impressive thing in the least noticeable way!
I can’t help but say, she was even proud of Sister Xiao Han! Proud!
If, before, when she saw Sister Xiao Han accomplish something astonishing, she would introspect and even feel self-doubt about whether she could keep up with Sister Xiao Han’s pace, whether she was worthy of the achievements Sister Xiao Han made.
But now… she understood.
There is no issue of worthiness; a witch who truly understands love will not have self-doubt.
When she sincerely felt happy for Sister Xiao Han from the bottom of her heart, Sister Xiao Han wouldn’t question her worthiness.
Love is reciprocal and resonant, not driven by suspicion and worry.
Time passed as the Dream State Soul Material was gradually consumed.
And at this moment, the four little Fool Dreams had all obtained Soul Bodies.
I stared at the remaining portion of Dream State Soul Material in my hands, surprised by how much had been consumed.
But I did not regret it; after all, waste is waste, Fool Dream’s matters are the most important.
Moreover, isn’t there a portion left?
I can send that out later to let those witch sisters study it.
After all… Dream State Soul Material can be used not just for the shaping of life. Witches also delve deeply into the study of soul materials, as before the emergence of the great subject of souls, witches were also soul life forms.
Thus, research on soul materials has never ceased.
They have special fields dedicated to studying this area, and the most direct research outcome is the Resurrection Spell based on soul life.
No matter what form or existence life takes, resurrection techniques are always enduring in this field.
Moreover, soul materials are not only used for resurrection but also for potions, magical drugs, and even for spell casting and weaponizing.
Dream State Soul Material is certainly no exception.
“How do you feel? Is there anything strange?” I asked again, as per my usual routine.
“Not really, just feels very novel, as if… it’s easier to think.” Yu Xing spoke up.
Yu Xing was the last of the Fool Dreams.
Her memories were massive, and the condensed Seed of Wisdom was larger than Yu Lan and the others, but no matter what, the size of the Seed of Wisdom is not what matters; what it represents is the brilliance emerging from the interweaving of consciousness and memory.
It is also everything that Fool Dream possesses.
“Let’s go back to reality now and try again to see if we can transcend the boundary between dreams and reality with sufficient Dream State Souls.”
I said this, waved my hand, and the four little Fool Dreams eagerly stood up.
Especially Yu Yun, who last time could not be supported due to insufficient Dream State Soul Quality when shaping her soul, leading to her being unable to cross the dream boundary.
This time, she had been anticipating it for a long time!
Although… only a few days had actually passed since last time.
“Sister Bai~ let’s go too.” I stepped in front of Sister Bai and reached out my hand.
“Mm.” Sister Bai also grabbed my hand, stood up, and nodded in agreement.
Then our figures disappeared into the Soul Dream.
“Eh? Sister Sage has left again.”
The Fool Dreams still in the Soul Dream had already gotten used to my habit of coming quickly and leaving quickly.
Many of the dispelled Dream State Soul Materials were also quite curious, but those curious Fool Dreams were quickly stopped by others.
“Don’t go! Yu Lan said, Sister Sage won’t let us touch this; it will be dangerous if we do!”
“Yes, I heard that too; we can’t go.”
At this moment, back in reality.
After returning to reality, I slowly opened my eyes.
Sister, how is it? I approached my sister, who was waking up a bit slower than me.
At that moment, Sister’s soul consciousness had just regained control over her body; she appeared as if she had just woken up, her opened eyes somewhat vacant before slowly focusing.
“Um… I feel great… this is quite an amazing experience.” This was Bai Yu’s most genuine feeling at the moment.
“Sister Xiao Han—um… should we conduct the experiment here?” The four little Fool Dreams, who had returned to the constant Dream Cultivation Room in reality, were also a bit impatient to speak.
“Hold on. Wait a moment.” I quickly interrupted the now somewhat eager Fool Dreams, then explained: “This is the cultivation room. We’ll head to another lab shortly to conduct the experiment with professional equipment to record data.”
