Chapter 1349: Great Spell Field Order Perfection
“Just one?” I looked skeptically at the Primordial Witch who had crawled down from the counter and sat back at her workstation, feeling somewhat incredulous.
“If you think one is too few, I can take ten thousand.”
“Let’s stick to one. Sometimes I’m really curious about how you set your prices. Won’t this cause discontent among the witches?” I said as I took out a Magic Source and spoke.
“If you’re unhappy, you can keep it to yourself and deal with me later,” she said, reaching out to take the Magic Source and then tossing it into the Great Library behind her.
“Charging for Magic Sources is my attitude. How much I charge depends on two factors: first, its inherent value, and second, my mood.”
The Primordial Witch patiently explained to me.
“So, one is the baseline price?”
“Exactly, that’s the idea.”
“Then can you explain the question I asked earlier? You’ve already taken one Magic Source.” I shifted the topic, not wanting my single Magic Source to go to waste in this conversation.
“Oh~ right, the answer to your earlier question is: the Magic Shield Spell Field Order Perfection.” The Primordial Witch solemnly provided me with a long string of strange, new terms.
“Order… and Greater Perfection?” I asked, puzzled.
“This is my definition of it.” When the Primordial Witch said this, her words were filled with confidence, as if her definition was the definition of the Void itself.
“Is it possible to define it this way?”
“Aren’t you also defining Basic Perfection with the Great Ordinary Spell?”
“Feeling like she sensed my doubts, she seriously replied, ‘If you define Basic as Greater Perfection, I will accuse you of encroaching on the definition rights.’”
“……” Although my level made it hard for me to sense the Primordial Witch’s inner thoughts and heart sense, my “feeling” told me she wasn’t joking.
“Not talking anymore? Shocked into silence by my authority, perhaps? But I admire you; I once defined Perfection too, and my thoughts are actually similar to yours. It’s just hard to determine the foundation, but when I am capable, I won’t care anymore.”
“Are you not speaking because you realized you weren’t the first to discover this, feeling a bit sad inside? Don’t worry~ you’ll get used to it.”
“No, I’m just thinking about what Greater Perfection means,” I shook my head and said.
I had long experienced the feeling of thinking I was on a path no one had tread before, only to find out others had already walked it.
I am still a “newbie” just entering the extraordinary realm, humbly accepting the paths blazed by my seniors to enrich my understanding. This is also a form of growth; I can’t just stop following a path because others have already walked it, can I?
OCD?
Is there even a need to think about this? If your definition of Perfection is Basic Perfection, then is a complete power only basic? “The Primordial Witch reminded me but didn’t directly tell me the answer.
“There’s also the addition of cultivation.” I immediately realized.
“Addition of cultivation? You refer to the accumulation of cultivation as an addition? Well… it’s a strange obsession, but looking at it from another angle, that statement holds some truth.” The Primordial Witch reluctantly acknowledged my statement.
“But does cultivation and accumulation also have an endpoint?” I said somewhat awkwardly.
After all, the extraordinary I was pursuing shouldn’t have an endpoint, as evidenced by the “impossible perfect individual concept,” and it is further reflected in the three “infinite” prefixed talents.
“Of course, there is. Some are defined by humans. If you don’t like this term, you can exchange it for human-defined Greater Perfection. The development direction of power ultimately shapes the field, and from the field’s perspective, this ‘endpoint’ is… Absolute Order.”
“So that kind of power earlier is Absolute Order?” I reflected on the earlier power; that order indeed gave me an unshakable feeling.
“If you give me another Magic Source, I can let you experience it. No need to blindly reminisce with your eyes closed.” At this moment, the Primordial Witch spoke up.
“Just one?” I said, somewhat incredulous; this would certainly be a bad deal, given the amount of magic power consumed to manifest such power should condense quite a number of Magic Sources.
While ordinary witches can’t use the power of a Magic Source to condense it, since a witch’s ability to condense a Magic Source relies on self-generated magic talent and external condensation skills, the Primordial Witch definitely has a way.
“Still the same thing, give me ten thousand, and I will also accept it.”
“Thank you.”
I said this sincerely.
Then I waved my hand, showering ten thousand magic power into the Great Library behind her.
However, this action immediately made the Primordial Witch feel as if she had lost ten thousand Magic Sources and stood up!
“You, you, you! What are you doing? At least pass it through my hands first!”
I watched the Magic Sources be absorbed into the Great Library, and internally confirmed one thing: that is, the contributed Magic Sources don’t necessarily have to pass through the Primordial Witch’s hands.
After the Magic Sources dissipated in the Great Library, the Primordial Witch reluctantly demonstrated the so-called “Absolute Order Magic Shield Spell Field.”
But… it only lasted for one second.
“Wait, why just one second?”
“One Magic Source is just worth that much; do you have a problem with it?”
“But I just gave you ten thousand!”
“Hmm? Didn’t I just accept one Magic Source plus 9,999 voluntary donations?” At this moment, the Primordial Witch pretended to act innocent, her expression seemed to say,
“Prove your worth if you have the guts to beat me.”
“You pull this with other witches as well? It’s lucky you’re meeting a temperamental witch like me.”
“Other witches more or less know what I’m like; they basically guard against this. You’re just a clueless newbie with money to spare, so I took the chance to con you.”
“You’ll have no friends doing this.”
“I don’t have friends and don’t need them, and don’t even mention it, you probably don’t have many friends either?”
“Ha…”
At this moment, the Primordial Witch’s words stabbed into my heart like a sharp knife; I indeed don’t have many friends.
“So, do you want to renew? Given how generous you are, I can recommend a discount package, a ten-thousand magic power per second experience service?”
“How did it get more expensive?”
“This is a personalized recommendation~”
“Not happening; I won’t be a fool.” I immediately refused, even ten thousand or even a hundred million Magic Sources don’t mean much to me.
But at this moment, I just didn’t want to give the Primordial Witch anything.
“What a pity~”
“Not a pity,” I responded.
Although it was only for one second, let’s not forget I have the perception of a perfect individual, for me, perceiving no longer limits to the objective length of time, but rather depends on the efficiency of perception.
Simply put, while others may take an hour to perceive something, I can complete it in one second; from the standpoint of efficiency, my one second equals their one hour.
In that brief second, I finished perceiving, leading me to think of something else.
So directly in front of the Primordial Witch, I condensed something that resembled a magic crystal.
“Oh~ what is this?” It was only at this moment the Primordial Witch’s previously greedy demeanor became a bit serious, even her tone carried some surprise.
“Such a rich magic field order, and you can only condense it to the size of a palm?”
“Of course not; if I want, enveloping a small world is not a problem.” As I spoke, I enlarged the “magic crystal” until it enveloped not just myself but also the Primordial Witch and the entire area of the Primordial Witch’s reception.
The Primordial Witch was right; this wasn’t merely a magic crystal, it just looked like one. Its essence is a rich magic field order.
“How did you discover this usage?” The Primordial Witch released a hint of her magic, and this magic became part of the “magic crystal” under her control.
Undoubtedly, this characteristic already closely resembled the Absolute Order she mentioned, the absolute order of magic, governing all magic.
If the previous magic field order was about suppressing external magic and even suppressing methods for releasing magic, then this state transcends mere suppression; it is absolute domination!
Previously experimented with a derivative technique based on infinite magic talent discovery, just like the battle with Roderick at the hotel, the “Void Singularity Magic Explosion” created from All Things Transforming to Magic; that ultimate form of magical state is now what I have simulated.
Only, this time there was no such white hole explosion.
I truly wonder whether you are just lucky or possess extraordinary talent, but your ability to comprehend is definitely among the top witches I have ever seen.
So is this Absolute Order? I directly asked.
I can only say your path and ideas are somewhat correct, but it doesn’t yet count as Greater Perfection; it’s just a trick you pulled off, still missing a few elements.
Lacking a little in self-governance of this order, do you mean to say I’m somewhat taking shortcuts at my current stage?
That’s precisely the idea. The Primordial Witch nodded in satisfaction, saying: “I find discussing these matters with you quite pleasant; it clicks easily.”
As long as you don’t charge me, I also nodded.
……
Originally quite satisfied, the Primordial Witch froze her expression upon hearing my words, “Oh… I forgot to charge!”
Then she rubbed her hands and climbed to the front desk, smiling as she spoke to me: “How about you consider making an additional payment?”
Impossible, right? Seeing the Primordial Witch’s flip of expression made me feel a wave of relief and also solidified my idea of getting something for free.
Damn it!
Aren’t you a Primordial Witch too? Why are you quibbling over such trivial matters?
Why not? Who says? Should I just let you bully me? Do you enjoy being morally bound?
Not at all.
Then that’s settled! The Primordial Witch said.
“Do you have any business now? If not, just go; seeing you is annoying.”
Is this how you send me off?
Do you want me to stay for a meal and chat about life? Discuss our ideals?
That wouldn’t be impossible~ “Get lost! Don’t think about taking advantage of me.”
Alright, but before I go, there’s one more thing.
What else? The Primordial Witch’s attitude was clearly sulky due to not receiving the Magic Sources.
Not long ago, a new extraordinary witch came to register at the Great Library…
Do you have any idea how many witches come to register here every minute? How can I know who you’re referring to?
There are many witches named Roderick.
The one whom I personally turned into an extraordinary witch, named Roderick, who you tasked me to advertise for, saying my Magic Sources are about to mold!
“Oh… seems to be the case. What do you want?”
Has she left?
Not yet. She’s still in the Great Library; it’s her first time becoming a witch, and she still wants to learn some common knowledge.
Can I meet her?
I spoke up.
At this moment, the reception area for the Primordial Witch already doesn’t know how many layers of reception there are; theoretically, as many extraordinary witches exist in the Void, there are that many layers of Primordial Witch reception.
Finding the corresponding layer is indeed somewhat challenging.
But for the Primordial Witch, it’s just a matter of query time.
“Of course, do you want to meet her or shall she come to see you?”
She can come to see me?
“Of course, but you can only strive for her consent, not force it. If she refuses, even you can’t meet her, after all, every witch’s reception by the Primordial Witch is private, and you understand this.”
But you didn’t stop me from peeking at other witches, did you?
“It’s your ability to peek. After all, the Great Library is an open space for Witchkind; even the reception desk is a semi-public area. Only if the other party explicitly emphasizes privacy will I block your peek.”
Then forget it… just help me pass her a message. After thinking for a while, I still didn’t proactively expose that I had come here to avoid her misinterpreting me as spying.
“One Magic Source as the fee for the message.”
Here.
I feigned a pouting expression while looking at the Primordial Witch, and given my relationship with her, such a businesslike attitude genuinely saddened me! If I wouldn’t even give her a Magic Source, she would show a cold face!
But upon reconsideration, since I came here this time, I hadn’t exactly provided “smiling service” either.
Alright~ What message do you wish to send? Receiving the Magic Source, the Primordial Witch reverted to her earlier attitude and spoke to me.
Just say: If you have no place to go, come find me in the Land of Origins. If you can’t find me, go to my faith community, which is the world where she was previously detained; I’ve left a small gift for her.
Yes, the Great Knowledge Seed counts as a gift.
Don’t think that the Great Knowledge Seed is a somewhat common thing in my possession, but for other witches, it represents an entity derived from a Great Spellbook of power, embodying concepts of power, identity, connections, and circles.
Truly rare!
Is that all?
If she is unwilling, just consider it parting ways graciously, and by the way, have her release my Life Clone and that little girl; otherwise, I will personally go find her.
