Is It Weird for a Guy to Apply to a Witch School – Chapter 1312

Chapter 1312: The Key to Human Cultivation — Life Totem

So this was the matter?

Once I learned about it, I understood that the Earth Vein God Emperor had a persistent character.

When a difficult problem has two solutions, then these two solutions gain meaning in communication.

If I stubbornly refuse to recognize this, it only proves the limitations of my perspective.

As one of the few powerful beings standing at the very peak of the Void, it’s quite normal for the Earth Vein God Emperor to have such ideas and thoughts.

Albert World watched silently from the side.

After recovering from his shock, he reined in his inappropriate behavior. In a field he couldn’t intervene in, he decided to observe more and speak less.

He took the opportunity to do something within his capabilities, such as setting the permissions of the observation station here to the highest level. Without his permission, no one would be able to disturb this place, and no information would leak out.

This Earth Vein God Emperor didn’t even attend the grand ceremonies held by his followers but delivered messages and then rushed here immediately, indicating something of great importance.

“I wonder if I need to excuse myself?” Albert politely inquired at last.

“I don’t think it’s necessary; what do you think?” The Earth Vein God Emperor looked at Albert, then turned to me and said.

“Your Majesty, the Earth Vein God Emperor is right.” I agreed. After all, the key to this matter lay in whether the Earth Vein God Emperor was willing, and I felt it was highly likely he was, especially since I had already informed him of the concept of infinite growth, so I naturally didn’t mind this.

After all, things that belong to oneself cannot be taken away by others; if someone else succeeds, that is their ability.

The only ones who don’t want anyone to know about something are enemies, and Albert and I clearly do not yet have that kind of relationship.

Our straightforward conversation led to a meeting here in this observation station that was likely to make waves across the Void.

“Since I took the initiative to seek you out this time, let me explain first,” the Earth Vein God Emperor said. “Let’s start with the boundary between life and death in human cultivation. Many people outside believe that this boundary is the threshold of the World Master; crossing it means achieving the future potential of a World Master.”

“But that’s not true, right?” I interjected. “Even as a powerful figure among the Nine Monarchs of the Void, you still can’t avoid such consequences.”

“Exactly, that’s a very clear logic. In fact, the boundary between life and death is not greatly related to the boundary of the World Master; even the World Master can still end up perishing.”

After the Earth Vein God Emperor finished speaking, my gaze instinctively turned to Albert. I sensed that the Earth Vein God Emperor was bringing up this matter with the intention of sharing it with Albert.

So what do you think it is? I continued.

The boundary between life and death is what it is; human cultivation is a practice of changing the state of life. So how many forms of life do you think there are?

Just one, I followed along with what the Earth Vein God Emperor said.

In fact, as a human cultivation expert, he and I didn’t even need verbal communication; the “feelings” of human cultivation could communicate intuitively, without any offense.

One is living life; there is no second, as once dead, it is no longer life.

Correct, so the description of the boundary between life and death is quite apt; the coexistence of life and power is the art of human cultivation, and the endless acquisition of power is tantamount to edging closer to death. However, this death does not have a clear standard or feedback to inform this life.

That’s why some human cultivators die suddenly.

My dialogue with the Earth Vein God Emperor was like a duet, as if it didn’t matter who articulated these ideas and words, purely allowing Albert to gain an understanding; how much understanding he gleaned depended on his capacity for comprehension.

Even if Albert World claimed to be one of the most elite beneath the World Master, which might be an exaggeration, it still does not negate the fact that he is a genius.

Thus, the essence of crossing the boundary between life and death is to constantly achieve a balance between power and life without falling into a state of death unknowingly.

So there is only one answer.

Life Totem.

Looks like we think alike, hahaha. The Earth Vein God Emperor chuckled in satisfaction, his slightly hunched body shaking with laughter.

That’s right. I nodded.

Resolving the essence of the threat from the boundary between life and death is to understand the role of the life totem, and the so-called infinite growth is a means built upon this foundation.

It’s like grasping the principles of firefighting; with a fire extinguisher, I can easily extinguish a fire, while someone else could use buckets of water to put it out.

The life totem was initially born from my self-awakening body cultivation, racial concepts, and the self-generated magic power derived from the essence of life, which later evolved into the original life totem after I refined it, ultimately becoming my “cheat” for studying the essence of life.

What seemed like simple structures of talent, talent derivations, and practical inspiration, even the transformation of talent—without the silent contributions of this ability, how could I have achieved this…

Because our talents are different.

This talent can be in personality, worldview and perception, even surrounding material conditions, traits that life excels in, or simply a matter of fortunate happenstance.

“The emergence of the life totem provides human cultivation with a clearly visible boundary,” the Earth Vein God Emperor said, revealing unique patterns on his palm that were entirely different from runes.

The patterns even appeared to subtly tear through the Void.

This is a totem, a concept whose patterns have no inherent power or effect. Yet its “status” is such that even the Void cannot withstand it, being torn apart by a concept beyond power.

Totems cannot be passed down or learned. Forcing an understanding amounts to little more than mimicking; occasional surprises may arise, but essentially it’s merely luck leading to the discovery of something else.

Therefore, this is one of the fundamental reasons why such methods cannot be replicated.

“Can I see your life totem? My intuition tells me that your life totem is more complete than mine, for I’ve simulated your growth path and cannot replicate your growth,” the Earth Vein God Emperor said very directly.

“Of course,” I nodded.

Subsequently, a totem blossomed behind me, creating a profound impact visually, with the entire observation station warning in response to the subtle rifts the totem tore through the Void.

Albert World adjusted permissions on the side, soothing the unforeseen disaster that emerged from this incident.

Don’t let the Eye of Truth Void Observation Station be called a “man-made world”—the more intricately designed creations are, the more they fear foundational destruction at this level.

Void rifts target powerful beings; while they might withstand them, creations without life are doomed when they are ruined.

Being destroyed by a void rift truly means nothing is left.

“Indeed, your life totem is more complete than mine,” the Earth Vein God Emperor remarked with a hint of emotion. “The Void is truly full of countless geniuses.”

Once the stakes reached this level, I also began discussing deeper understandings with the Earth Vein God Emperor.

Totems cannot be learned like runes; once seen, they cannot be slowly mastered through exploration. They have a unique structural system of their own, without any shortcuts. The only way to understand them is through communication and discussion, continuously refining this independent framework within one’s perception.

Moreover, since my life composition differs from that of the other party—different races, different talents—the life totem naturally cannot be imitated.

Unless the other person could become me; after all, once I became myself, it was like the so-called life clone, I could easily construct the original totem according to my understanding.

Those who emulate me live, while those who imitate me die.

This death is not death in the true sense, but the original him completely perishing after he becomes me.

The Earth Vein God Emperor and I discussed many topics, from racial concepts to life sequences, then to the ideal of perfection, from the essence of life to soul material, consciousness, and to the Fourth Life Interpretation.

From our conversation, I could sense the Earth Vein God Emperor’s admiration for the Fourth Life Interpretation.

Yet he did not disrespect or belittle it.

Soul material is undoubtedly the ultimate answer to life interpretation, while consciousness is the sublimation above the ultimate answer.

Perhaps the pursuit of higher levels of life essence is instinctual, but no one dictates that life must be this way.

Just as the various intricate extraordinary advancement systems in the Void have led to its current structure, he nevertheless continues to tirelessly restart human cultivation.

Even if he considers human cultivation to be the ultimate means of integrating all extraordinary advancement systems, he cannot deny the existence of other systems.

What he is doing is similar to the actions of the Witch Race in promoting the Fourth Life Interpretation; objectively, one might say “it’s feasible but unnecessary,” yet subjectively, it is progress.

They are not fighting over right or wrong but against the existing individuals and groups reluctant to give up their comforts.

“It’s quite unexpected; it seems that what you understand is a bit less abundant than I anticipated,” the Earth Vein God Emperor sincerely stated.

“There’s no helping it—after all, it hasn’t been long since I reached this height. My knowledge is a false prosperity supported by the Great Knowledge Tree; as Albert puts it, I still need to settle and accumulate.”

“Not arrogant, not impetuous, very good! Knowledge reserves and breadth of understanding are not the only measures of genius; I admire you greatly,” the Earth Vein God Emperor said cheerfully. “Are you interested in taking up the torch of the human cultivation era and leading this era toward greater horizons?”

Albert, on the side, felt somewhat overwhelmed, as he was struggling to keep up with the pace of speaking just to record and think. After finishing his notes, hearing such a statement suddenly left him stunned.

What surprised him even more was my response.

“Thank you for the compliment, but I’ll pass on the latter proposal; I’m not interested. The human cultivation era was initiated by you; I’m merely walking my own path and concurrently paving a brand new path for the Witch Race in the realm of witchcraft.”

“Do you wish to become a Truth Witch in this way?” The Earth Vein God Emperor became interested, showing no dissatisfaction with my rejection.

“Becoming a Truth Witch? Perhaps the past me once thought so. Many witches and Betraying Witches have mentioned it, but when I truly felt I could reach it, my mindset became less urgent, turning into what’s called going with the flow.”

This mindset is much more interesting than those Void geniuses and prodigies.

“It’s nothing; it’s only when one is qualified to receive something that one can say they don’t need it. Just like wealth will always flow toward those who are not lacking in it. I don’t wish for being a Truth Witch to be a goal I pursue by any means. If possible, I prefer it to be an evaluation given to me by others casually.”

“That’s right. I’m quite similar in that regard; I truly hope that the child of war can possess your perceptiveness and awakening.” The Earth Vein God Emperor remarked with a smile and said no more.

But his meaning was clear: there are also differences among the Nine Monarchs of the Void, and the “war” he mentioned refers to the War Truth Witch.

One can anticipate that the War Truth Witch will achieve truth in the name of the Nine Monarchs of the Void… Beyond this, it’s no longer suitable to discuss, as the current Truth Witch is indeed something I cannot comment on.

What I express is intention, while the other party achieves accomplishments. Before I succeed, everything is vanity; after my success, everything becomes truth, everything that is relayed as “famous saying.”

The Earth Vein God Emperor did not continue this topic.

Instead, he took the initiative to discuss the path of human cultivation with me again.

Since life totems cannot be replicated, how should the boundary between life and death be addressed?

This poses a significant barrier in the path of human cultivation; there are currently many ways to promote human cultivation, allowing an individual to rapidly gain power. Undoubtedly, the path of human cultivation is a shortcut to gaining power.

It grants practitioners more time to accumulate strength, allowing them to think deeply about how to utilize power, how to change ideas, and how to enhance understanding.

Though this will undoubtedly give rise to a plethora of giants mastering power, the Witch Race has long since adapted to this reality.

Magic sources, spellbooks… each ready-made power will make witches lazy.

However… witches with this kind of thinking are destined not to become powerful, while those with steadfast will will also have superior environments and conditions.

Now, human cultivation only needs to add a “limiter” to ensure that human cultivation experts will not fear the unknown of death.

If they cannot accept even this, then it’s best not to cultivate at all.

Any extraordinary advancement system comes with risks. Those who can ask this question are bound to achieve little.

As for how this concept of “limiter” will be realized, that is the next hurdle they need to overcome, and it is destined to be a challenge only I and the Earth Vein God Emperor can tackle.

Therefore, this is the reason the Earth Vein God Emperor immediately praised the Witch Race after emerging from seclusion; he wants to support me, draw me in, and release sufficient goodwill.

When the admissions office of Witch Academy called, I was stunned—I had been accepted into a school I never imagined I could touch. Yes, I am a boy and it is an all-girls’ academy, but they did not mind, so I saw no reason to object. I had applied secretly, without telling my family, just to take a chance. But as soon as those striking seniors greeted us newcomers—pressing every boy against the wall with a knowing smile—I realized things were about to spin out of control. “Oh, come now, you sweet little freshman,” one of them said smoothly, her voice full of mischief. “Don’t make this difficult for me, your big sis. Swallow this core and transform into a witch like me, alright?” She held the glowing orb before us, half-threatening, half-teasing, almost inviting the new boys to react. It was clear she enjoyed it—the blend of fear and resistance in their expressions. Our unease seemed to be her personal amusement. After all, they only had this opportunity once a year.
