Chapter 9425: Qi Observation Technique and Fortune Summoning Spell
“The last… king of the Elf clan, it is time for your life to shine its last rays.”
I walked towards this Fallen Elf. In fact, at the very beginning, the demon’s curse only caused mild corrosion, forcing this Forest Elf into becoming a Fallen Elf.
And thanks to that, he wasn’t completely assimilated by the Abyssal Will; we must thank the last legacy his world left for him, allowing him to hold onto the last vestige of faith.
It’s just a pity… that he encountered me, who practiced emotional body cultivation. Is it fair to say that the world is full of uncertainties?
Now he had only the last flicker of consciousness left, but this consciousness was no longer sheltered by World Will.
Instead, he had grown, relying on pain and regret, constantly spurring himself, stubbornly leaving behind the last flicker of spirit amidst the demon’s curse.
But it was all too late.
I held a Great Knowledge Seed but it was slightly different from the one I had given Dawn.
This seed was not of the Knowledge Tree, but of the Knowledge Mother Tree.
It was used to birth Knowledge Seeds.
Under the seal and unseal binding, this Fallen Elf had no ability to resist.
“I’ll give you one last chance, leave your name. Your kin may completely vanish into the void because of your passing, but your name can proudly remain within my Great Knowledge Tree, proving you once existed,” I said.
From the “legacy” taken from him, I found no trace of his name, even after searching through his own information identification.
This indicates that his name was completely sealed within him at the moment of the world’s destruction.
I vaguely remembered that the surname of pure-blood elves is the name of their World Tree.
For example, if it is Aphhemia, it is the name of the academy, as well as the surname of the elves of that clan, and also the name of that World Tree.
“Alber… Nathaniel.” The faint voice made it hard for me to catch what he was saying.
At his weakest moment, he foresaw his own end; perhaps when he spoke his name, it marked the moment of his complete mental death—the only thing that hadn’t died was his shell.
“Alber Nathaniel… hmm, not a bad name. I will take good care of your legacy.”
At this moment, the Earth Vein Identification Technique finally recorded his name. Even if his voice was low and unclear, it didn’t matter; the moment he chose to speak, the information was recorded.
After speaking, I inserted this special Great Consciousness Seed into his Sea of Consciousness.
Compared to a regular Great Knowledge Seed, this one was more domineering.
It was primarily used for individuals that did not obey, thus it was modified into a forced growth type.
Even the memories of growth are forcibly absorbed; this would cause severe consequences, but… no consequence was worse than becoming a witch’s experimental subject.
Should I pity this elf?
I felt it unnecessary; considering his previous arrogant words and the shameless sneak attack before.
I think these do not need to define him as “evil,” nor do I need to convince myself that evil begets evil.
This was simply acting without thinking.
As the seed gradually took root and sprouted in his mind, continuously absorbing his memories and cognition, growing ever larger, I smiled in satisfaction.
After all, the experiment had succeeded, hadn’t it?
At this moment, even if he was in pain to the extreme, he could not make a sound.
Thinking about it, it was rather terrifying.
The Great Knowledge Seed only needed a slight modification to inflict such great pain on a person.
But even so, that alone could not shake my plans for the Great Knowledge Tree; there was no need for it to give birth to aggressive means.
After all… many things do not need to be foreseen.
Here, in this suite, I set a solidified binding spell needle, and from that moment, I would no longer take care of this elf.
The solidified binding formation was used to supplement the instant effects of general spells, with a longer duration, and even reusable. Apart from needing regular maintenance, it could almost match the effects of a Great Spell.
Of course, solidified spells could never replace a Great Spellbook.
After dealing with this Fallen Elf, what I needed to handle next was the legacy he left behind.
Interestingly, the legacy he left was also a seed.
It carried the protection of World Will over him.
Rather than saying this protection was aimed at the disappointing elf, it was more targeted at this seed.
This was a World Tree seed!
And this elf had actually planted it within his heart.
Although I didn’t understand, I was greatly shocked.
However, this seed was not a tangible entity, similar to my Great Knowledge Seed.
Otherwise, after smashing his heart vein earlier, I should be holding a seed in my hand, but I found nothing.
This seed was a non-entity formed from the last intertwining light points.
This was my first time encountering a World Tree seed.
I wonder if the elves of the world of Aphhemia would blow a fuse if they found out?
After all, those elves even take care of the Wood Elemental Sprites of other races; would they come and slaughter us for planting another World Tree?
But… looking at this World Tree seed, although it lacked a material body, I could still see intertwined blood-red patterns and the surrounding demonic power.
“This red isn’t blood… and it can’t be wiped off… but this demonic power…” I attempted to purify it, yet found that no matter how I purified, it could not be dispelled.
It seemed like a demon’s curse; even after exhausting all derivatives of purification spells, it had no effect.
“Huh? There’s such a thing?” I lay on the sofa, fingers pinching the seed, looking at it under the luxurious lights.
Dispelling-type spells were the most effective means against curses, and for them to not work was quite surprising.
Let’s try the power of order. “I continued to attempt.
With the intentional guidance of my main body, the order represented by my clones became increasingly powerful.
The Knowledge Power gathered knowledge and transformed it into dispelling and purifying effects under the Annotation Technique.
“Sure enough, it’s effective; should I say it’s thanks to the field order of the power overlords?”
Under the power of order achievable only in the Holy Realm, the curse on this seed had indeed begun to settle.
However, as I purified, I sensed the vitality within the World Tree continuously surging.
It seemed that within the power of the field was the order of the Great Knowledge Tree, thus guiding the concept of “plant growth.”
First was the hard cleansing of my order power, then the vitality within the seed opposed the curse.
Under the promotion of double powers, it had a great impact on the removal of the curse.
However, even so, thoroughly removing the demonic curse would still take some time.
I’m not in a hurry, after all, I haven’t yet decided where to plant this seed.
The Game World would definitely not be suitable; after all, it is a material used to mend the Main World.
As for my Instance Realm… that wouldn’t be suitable either, since I still need to use the He Ya Tree as a blueprint to create techniques that can prevent the Earth Veins of the Instance Realm from wilting.
As for the Main World?
If I were to plant it there, it wouldn’t be long before the Aphhemia Academy would declare war on the Witch Academy.
So I haven’t thought of how to handle it.
However, this World Tree’s seed also carried a subtle World Will that piqued my interest.
Should it be considered World Will?
This was my first time observing World Will so directly.
It can be said that in their world, the embodiment of World Will is the World Tree that gives birth to the elves.
I wonder if the World Consciousness of the Main World is the same…
But anyway, I must also deal with the World Consciousness of the Main World.
The Great Ice Snow Throne is just an initial device; even I don’t know where its ultimate development will lead.
So I still need the Curse Coin as a second layer of insurance.
The layout of the Ice Snow Throne is more akin to… an opportunity.
And I lack the means to seize this opportunity.
But now, I found that I seemed to have another shortcut, enough to grasp this opportunity.
That is… the derivative of the Reverse Summoning Spell, the Fortune Summoning Spell.
Previously, when I used the Fortune Summoning Spell targeting players for real cross-network experiments, I must say the effects were great.
The cities here were all independent, while the headquarters of the All Worlds Terminal remained completely silent, indicating this had shaken the upper echelons of the Game World.
Unknown methods are the most terrifying; they make people hesitant to act rashly.
Even the infamous perpetual motion machine didn’t block the energy transfer station in this city.
Though I’m not clear whether they fear my power, or if they are balancing the population of this city, or simply can’t cut it off, but the fact they haven’t cut off the city’s energy did genuinely surprise me.
Returning to the Fortune Summoning Spell, it still hadn’t deviated from the framework of Reverse Summoning.
However, under the guidance of fortune, there was no need for the opposing party to actively engage in the summoning ritual.
And that was what I called a shortcut.
The fortunes directly manipulated by scripts, do they come from the interference of World Will?
Though in that shared data, there were records, without specifically tying to any individual’s ownerless fortune, this kind of Fortune Summoning Spell would most likely fail to reverse summon, and even if successful, it would randomly position.
But… is it possible… that’s simply because World Consciousness is not visible?
In any case, this is an experiment worth trying.
…
Primordial Dream Laboratory.
As I was contemplating the Fortune Summoning Spell, the Academy Head and the others had already brought the Qi Observation Technique instruments over.
Since I had promised the Academy Head’s request, they naturally prioritized efficiency.
However, upon seeing the Qi Observation Technique, I was reminded of other things in my heart.
Qi Observation Technique! Fortune Summoning Spell!
So could the Qi Observation Technique assist the Fortune Summoning Spell in observing World Will?
“Um… Sister Mei, did you bring all the assets of your laboratory here?” I hesitated to inquire.
“Is that so? These are just the supporting devices of the Qi Observation Technique,” Principal Mei casually replied.
If it weren’t for the fact that this area of the laboratory had many empty spaces, it would indeed have been difficult to accommodate this big fellow.
When I saw this instrument in the Principal’s office before, it didn’t seem that massive.
But now that it has been brought over… its size is indeed exaggerated.
Moreover, not only did Principal Mei come, but several other witches from the office also accompanied her.
According to Principal Mei, a single witch could not fully operate this instrument; multiple witches were needed to begin.
This demonstrates how heavily the Academy Head and others had modified this Qi Observation Technique that a single witch can’t even handle its multi-thread awareness operations.
“Next, it will rely on you, Xiao Se~”
“Yeah, yeah~ I’ve urged Mei several times, and this time she finally let you come out to help.”
“That’s too much; such a massive project is the result of everyone’s collective effort. There’s no need to talk about relying on anyone,” I humbly chatted with these elder witches.
Next, I also prepared to share my thoughts with Principal Mei.
After all, earlier, I agreed to help the principal optimize the conversion model of Qi Observation Technique and fortune information, which also considered the Fortune Summoning Spell.
Regardless of whether the two could interact, it needed to be tried out.
“The equipment has been moved over, and we’ll assemble it soon, Xiao Han, don’t feel pressured. To them, it’s just a change of workplace, and you should also reasonably plan your own time,” Principal Mei said as I approached her.
Seeing Principal Mei act this way, I had a feeling that she had called me for this out of some sense of guilt, but I wasn’t quite clear on the specifics.
However, if the witches nearby knew my doubts, they would definitely understand why.
Because Mei Linde had previously said not to let that Betraying Witch defeat her, then shortly after, came to find Little Han.
Especially when Little Han was busy with something… naturally, she couldn’t feel at ease.
“Yes, I won’t wear myself out~” I politely replied, “As for planning my time, I have a good grasp of it. This time I came to find Sister Mei mainly for another matter.”
“Another matter?” Upon hearing my needs, Mei Linde expressed surprise, “Feel free to speak. If you need anything, just tell me directly; there’s no need to be formal.”
“It’s just that after perfecting the Qi Observation Technique, can I conduct some personal—some experiments? I’d like to try a few things.”
“Testing things… do you have some strange ideas again? Can you share?”
“Actually, it’s nothing much. I was mainly thinking, since the new Qi Observation Technique targets observing and locking onto the World Veins, I’d like to use it in combination with the Fortune Summoning Spell to observe some other things.”
“Fortune Summoning Spell? What is that?” Clearly, Principal Mei wasn’t too familiar with what Teacher Ji Jie had done regarding the Reverse Summoning Spell; she must have been too busy away from Teacher Ji Jie for a long time.
After all, if I didn’t pay attention to this operational spell, it would merely become a title stored in the research data directory.
“Oh, it’s just a special operation of the Reverse Summoning by Teacher Ji Jie; given the term ‘fortune,’ I assumed it wouldn’t be a wrong name under general circumstances, so I plan to observe it with the Qi Observation Technique.”
“Oh~ then that’s fine, feel free to use it!” Principal Mei Linde quickly assessed that there were no issues with my explanation and readily agreed.
