Chapter 912: The Stage Success of the Primordial Dream Realm Experiment
Time flies quickly, and soon this semester will come to an end.
The lower-grade students are starting to review for the upcoming final exams.
Of course, this doesn’t mean they are reviewing theoretical knowledge.
After all, with the blessing of the Knowledge Seed, the difficulty of learning theoretical knowledge has significantly decreased compared to previous years.
However, as a form of balance, the lower-grade students have gradually enhanced their training in combat.
Even without sufficient Magic Sources and Spellbooks, they can connect to the power sanctioned by the “Academy” through the power network that covers the entire academy.
Moreover, the academy has further reduced the allocation of resources related to Magic Sources and Spellbooks to the new students.
The channels for students to obtain Magic Sources and Spellbooks are now limited to transactions with higher-year students.
However, moving forward, the academy’s teaching will gradually restrict this as well, ultimately abolishing the use of Magic Sources and Spellbooks.
This method will slowly solve the problem of the influx of Magic Sources and Spellbooks from its root.
It will also address the issue of external influence on the power of the academy after graduation.
There will be no more occurrence of the black market for Magic Sources and Spellbooks flowing outside the academy.
In fact, the magic power isn’t afraid of Magic Sources flowing out of the academy, as Magic Sources represent the transformation into witches. As long as one seeks to gain power from it, it effectively means that they are on the path to slowly becoming an Extraordinary Witch.
Other races cannot use this at all.
The main concern lies with the leakage of Spellbooks.
Spellbooks only need a few modifications to remove the transformation restrictions imposed by magic energy, and they can directly become a power that can be used freely.
Naturally, the most familiar with this are those wizards; their thirst for power knows no bounds.
However, all of this has little to do with me.
Even the power network and the root network within the academy have been gradually decreasing their dependency on me through continuous iterations.
I actually support this approach.
As for this semester’s finals, I have completely refrained from getting involved. As my value and importance further increase, the Principal has intentionally reduced my presence in the academy.
Of course, this is not repression against me; on the contrary, it can be seen as a form of protection.
After all, everything I am currently doing can cause significant waves if exposed. This is an undeniable fact.
Perhaps those students find it amusing, but how would the extraordinary from other academies think?
They must hope to eliminate me at all costs!
However, as it stands, those extraordinary beings really have no way to deal with me.
Inside the Primordial Dream Laboratory.
“So, does that mean our experiment has reached a conclusion for this phase, right?” Mu Li asked.
“Yes… a stage success,” I nodded. I glanced at her, who was immersed in the Primordial Dream, then looked at Mu Li and Feng Ni, two witches, and said, “What does it feel like? Forming an order similar to a realm within a dream is quite a magical experience, right?”
“It is indeed magical; this is the first time I’ve observed the flow of information within dreams. I never expected dreams would have such a structure,” I corrected her.
The Primordial Dream cannot be analyzed or defined using the logic of reality. If you try to do that, it will undoubtedly lead to mistakes.
It’s not that the Primordial Dream cannot be observed; theoretically, it certainly can. But it’s akin to real time—every step up you take reveals a brand-new world. There’s no absolute reality, only relative possibilities.
These are some understandings I’ve gradually adapted to during my time here.
“Alright~ This is your rigor, and I respect that.”
Mu Li didn’t seem to mind; what she cared more about was the power she holds.
Once she returned to her body, she moved around a bit. The somewhat long-lost physical body brought her a slight sense of unfamiliarity at a soul level.
“Yes, I need to get used to my body again; it feels like it’s rusting.”
“This kind of experiment indeed cannot be conducted for a long time. For body cultivation, the alignment between the body and the soul is the most important, so conducting the experiment in phases is also very necessary,” I responded.
“So what about Wu? Is she alright?”
“I respect her wishes; after all, long-term separation of the soul from the body can cause reversible damage. If she wishes to persist, I won’t stop her.”
“Can we wait here for a bit?”
“Are you sure? Didn’t you say you wanted to go and move around? I still recommend you do that; maintaining some of your old habits will help you sustain or further improve your strength.”
“좋아~ 내가 너의 제안에 응하마.”
“내가 너가 여기서 내가 떠나는 이유를 원한다면?”
“말도 안 돼! 내가 아주 오랫동안 친구라는 것도 인정 안 하는데, 이유도 없이 친구를 따라다니는 건 너무 감상적이야.”
“응? 내 눈이 좀 이상해서 그런지 영리하게 돌아보면, 너도 실험실에서 영혼으로 진심으로 만났잖아, 그런 교감도 너는 마음 아파하는 거 아니야?”
“그건 아니야~”
“빨리 가자, 나쁘지 않게! 실험이 끝났으니, 실험실에 머무르지 말고 바로 와!”
“하하~ 좋아, 뭐 해, 우리 가자!”
After two days, we sent off the genius, and this time arrived again.
This moment was too dark, and I had to find her position in the original dream.
“Did they leave?”
“Yes, identified. You’re the only one left now,” I said.
“This is the difference of a genius…”
“Ah~ Because of the experiment, your confidence has been drained, and you’ve been much more damaged than before. It’s been months since you last met your sister and mom.”
At that level, your talent is still above Sister Bai. “I said quite bluntly.”
Indeed! To face the so-called gap and surpass oneself is what I should be doing!
It feels a bit fiery to say that; after experiencing the feelings of the two witches shaping order in the Primordial Dream, the biggest gain should be you, right?
“Indeed, I’ve gained something, but I have to say you are a genius.”
“Why are you suddenly complimenting me?” I asked with some surprise.
“Because you deserve it. Whether it’s emotional body cultivation or this dream realm, in essence, they are both unknown applications of known methods, and that is innovation! It’s the future of body cultivation!”
“It’s just us two; there’s no need for this, right?”
“I mean it sincerely; you know body cultivation is just one of the channels to achieve such things, right? But you still chose it.” Dun opened his mouth, even presenting a more rational analysis, “Your choice paved the mainstream direction of this path, leading to the flourishing of body cultivation.”
“That’s not so exaggerated~ But you are quite insightful. There indeed are many channels that can influence the Primordial Dream; I’m not that arrogant. Whether known or unknown, it doesn’t matter. The reason I chose body cultivation is that… it aligns with my area of expertise; that’s my selfish desire.”
“Your selfishness? Although I don’t really like saying that, who am I to complain when I am also a beneficiary?”
“Alright, enough flattery.” I interrupted the current topic. In fact, I don’t really like being praised; it’s a way to satisfy personal emotions, but I no longer need that.
“I’m asking you, how much longer do you think it’ll take for you to succeed?”
“Well… soon.”
“How soon is soon?”
“Soon is just soon.”
“Okay, I understand.”
Not everything can be quantified in terms of time consumption, just like someone asking how long it’ll take.
After finishing my tasks on this side, I finally had some free time to busy myself with some additional matters.
After all, it has been quite busy lately, especially when Mu Li and Yuan Ni were establishing the order of dreams; I had no time to attend to anything else.
On top of that, there was improving the purification method of dream soul material, monitoring the situation of Fool Dreams, and perfecting life evolution techniques.
The improvement of life evolution techniques also led to two branches.
One is the cultivation of Fool Dream lives, and the other is the enhancement of my own soul.
Tan Jun and the others have been in the secret realm for many days, and the relevant information has largely been shared.
Now they are officially in conflict with others; a large number of people have started to counter-attack the Ancient Ice Remains.
At that time, the ancient ice remained in the secret realm, blocking the teleportation area. I knew that conflict in the secret realm was inevitable when a powerful external force intervened.
The Ancient Ice Remains couldn’t hold the upper hand forever; even with their home-field advantage, they can’t withstand the tactic of numbers.
After all, these students possess the strength of their race’s system, while the Ancient Ice Remains are merely the capabilities granted by their bloodline inheritance and innate instincts.
But at the end of the day, they’re just pitiful lives trapped in the secret realm for their entire lives.
Now, returning to the matter of the Great Ice and Snow Throne.
In these days, although I’ve gained a lot, I still feel a bit unfamiliar with creating the Great Spellbook, mainly because I cannot use real editing for practice, leaving many concepts beyond my grasp.
However, I’ve likely understood the spell aspect; if not limited to the “Great Spellbook,” given me time and Extraordinary Knowledge, I can also come up with something similar to the Great Spell’s effect.
As I once guessed, whether it’s the Absolute Zero Crown held by Tan Qi, the twelve Hearts of Cold Wave, or even including the spellbook of the Ancient Ice Transmutation technique, all of these are “carriers.”
Yet, it is not just a carrier of Extraordinary Knowledge but also a carrier of “Spellbooks.”
After all, Spellbooks essentially don’t possess “concrete substances;” they are more like energy masses radiating light, things that don’t have a carrier and might self-dissolve and disintegrate.
But the crown held by Tan Qi is definitely an item, and even that Alchemical Master witch, Natalie, was amazed by such material.
However, none of these are part of the Great Spellbook; they are ritual items for sculpting the Great Spellbook, that is… the Ceremony of Ascendance.
From the information, after the birth of this Great Spellbook, its master is the Ancient Ice Remains; it is not a Great Spellbook meant for a specific witch.
And what the witch wants to borrow from the Ancient Ice Remains and the Great Spellbook is already clear.
Naturally, there’s no talk of waste; these are all setups. What the witch wants is the entire main world; what’s one Great Spellbook worth?
Didn’t Principal Mei already invest in one?
And precisely because its master is the Ancient Ice Remains, after the Great Spellbook is forced to shatter, its fragments will return to their carrier.
As for why it’s so coincidental… one could say that no story is without coincidence, or perhaps it’s the interference of fortune; that remains unknown.
After all, what the Ancient Ice Remains sought back then was the fated race of the main world.
These can only be experimental data and some experimental notes; it’s impossible to record what happened afterwards, so some experiences are considered artistic processing that I have speculated on.
Now, what I need to do is actually quite simple—just to satisfy my curiosity.
I still have a Heart of Cold Wave at hand; I need to test it.
Because I am genuinely curious about the concept of shattered Extraordinary Knowledge.
Moreover, this has some relevance to my desire to bestow the power of “sacred objects” onto Fool Dreams.
Fool Dreams are not just one or two; they are a whole race. What I want is not merely to lend power to them but to truly grant it in a way that disseminates to them.
This is akin to the concept of the Great Knowledge Tree dispersing Great Knowledge Seeds in two different forms.
And the only way I can think of is to “write” the power of the sacred object into the concept of the race.
However, I cannot comprehend or achieve spreading the power of the sacred object in the form of racial concepts.
The Great Ice and Snow Throne provides me with another idea: to shape the Great Spellbook into the appearance of that race!
But the difference is that those witches who created the Great Ice and Snow Throne had the race represent power; the one seated on the throne is the king exalted by the Ancient Ice Remains royal family!
But that doesn’t align with my view; I don’t want the Fool Dream race to become a mere driven force of power itself.
I… want the power of the sacred object to take the shape of Fool Dreams!
Is this even possible?
I don’t know.
But before the Great Ice and Snow Throne, I also believed that this method was impossible.
Perhaps this is the embodiment of human (witch) effort.
At this moment, I extended my hand, holding the icy orb.
Its chill no longer poses any influence on me.
Fully liberated floating world level spirit vision allows me to complete the analysis of it in an instant.
However, the vast analytical information requires me to understand it bit by bit, but that’s fine; adaptation is the most powerful trait of life.
Nevertheless, no matter how I analyze it, there is an interference factor on the Heart of Cold Wave that I cannot decipher.
That is—fortune.
It seems to be waiting for something, but I do not know what it is waiting for.
Looking back at the power of fortune again, it gives me a magical feeling.
Just like earth veins, its energy level is very low, yet the concept of earth veins remains unsolved to this day.
The same goes for fortune; it is not extraordinary energy; it seems simple, yet it possesses characteristics that even floating world level spirit vision cannot predict.
