Chapter 1067 Shock from Dream Transformation
“I’m sure that a miraculous life form like Fool Dream will be a significant aid in the exploration of life and the Primordial Dream World for the Witch Race, becoming a great treasure in the history of the Witch Race.”
After the shock, the Elder expressed such sentiments and evaluations.
Such evaluation cannot be considered low!
“If such a life can become a branch of the Witch Race…” The Elder then looked at me, took a deep breath, and asked, “Xiao Han, are you willing to do this?”
“What if I say… Fool Dream cannot be transformed into a witch?” I spoke after a few seconds of silence.
“Are you planning to implement the Betrayer Witch Transformation Project on Fool Dream?” The Elder was not too confused, but instead continued to ask.
“Betrayer Witch Transformation Project?” I looked at the Elder, this was my first time hearing this concept, but from its surface meaning, it seemed understandable.
“Xiao Han, you don’t know this concept? Do you dare to say Fool Dream cannot be transformed into a witch? At this moment, Elder Yizhu chuckled because my expression clearly showed that I didn’t know.
“I indeed don’t know this concept, but after I understood life and race, I feel I can do it. I have led experiments on self-generated magic power and understand the general process of witch culture…”
“Are modern little witches this powerful now?” Elder Yizhu smiled and looked at Elder Yizhi.
However, Elder Yizhi did not respond but continued on the topic, speaking to me: “Let me explain to you, little Tao, the Betrayer Witch Transformation Project is basically a technique that lights up for other races after contact with the Witch Race.”
“But rest assured, little Tao, at least Fool Dream currently belongs to you. You have the right to do this for Fool Dream. In fact, many witches attempting to create life will carry out such projects for the lifeforms under them because a witch’s magic power can inadvertently transform those lifeforms into witches. Of course… some purely want to make them servants to eliminate the possibility of witch transformation into kin, as extraordinary witches cannot have substantial enslavement between themselves.”
“Thank you for your understanding, Elder Yizhi!” After Elder Yizhi finished this statement, I understood that my purpose for coming over this time had completely been achieved.
And Elder Yizhi also correctly identified my purpose, using this opportunity to alleviate my concerns.
“Thank you for what? I’m just telling you things you should already know. I saw you looking worried earlier, now it should be that your inner doubts have been resolved?” Elder Yizhi asked with a smile.
“Yes, Fool Dream is very important to me.”
“Alright, let’s not dwell on that. Since there are no more concerns, I will continue from the previous topic.”
“Speaking of the Betrayer Witch Transformation Project, basically all other extraordinary races that have had contact with the Witch Race have research in this area, aiming to resist the steps of witch transformation for the Witch Race.”
“Of course, this racial project has a high threshold and is quite costly. Only life forms above extraordinary individuals are qualified to be covered by such projects, so witch transformation for the Witch Race, in most cases, targets lifeforms below extraordinary.”
“Then… does Elder Yizhi have research materials on this racial project?” I curiously asked.
Since this method is so “common,” it means I might be able to obtain such techniques from Elder Yizhi.
“Want it? Unfortunately.” Elder Yizhi smiled and shook his head at my words: “This brings us to another characteristic of this racial project, that is, races do not share.”
“If you asked me for those of wizards, holy angels, or elves, I could provide them, but for the Fool Race, I don’t have it. Not only do I not have it, but I am also waiting for you to perfect this racial project before asking you if I could obtain some insight, as you know I am very interested in such novel knowledge, and I can guarantee it won’t be leaked.”
“Uh… maybe I was too presumptuous.” I awkwardly scratched my cheek. Since it’s a racial project, it is indeed not shareable; such things are not plug-and-play.
“Don’t be like that, just earlier you said: Where did that momentum of ‘I think I can do it’ go?” Elder Yizhi playfully teased me.
“Hey, hey, hey! Doesn’t Elder Yizhi deserve this special technique?” Elder Yizhi sighed with melancholy.
“Don’t let her see this; I was just joking. You should avoid letting it leak out, whether it’s me or Yizhu. Especially Yizhu, if she finds out, be careful that she might cripple the transformation and create several Fool Dream witches for you.”
“Deceiving! Elder! You’re deceiving me!”
Unknowingly, the two elders talked and gradually disregarded the generational gap between them; even their tone became more lively.
Of course, Elder Yizhu always remained true to himself.
I felt very relaxed about this. It wasn’t that I easily trusted others, but rather that Heart Sense had given me the instinct to discern good and evil.
Likewise, because of this, I also hated negotiating with those in the Union Society, letting only Cleveland represent me fully.
In the following time, I engaged in an academic discussion about the ability of “Dream Transformation” with Elder Yizhi and Elder Yizhu.
After all, I planned to frame Dream Transformation and the Dream Realm as the lineage of the Fool Dream God Race, but this was not the only path.
My own thinking is limited, but multiple witches are not necessarily the same.
For example, Elder Yizhu proposed whether the dream transformation capability of Fool Dream could achieve a “sharing” concept that benefits others.
Elder Yizhi thought more deeply, wondering if Fool Dream could develop an entirely new spell system.
“Dream Magic!”
This is not the kind of spell related to sleep techniques, arts, or dream fabrication; such spells merely relate to dreams and fundamentally achieve effects similar to dream magic through individual memory and influences from other dimensions.
Pure dream magic should be established on dreams, just like energy-manipulating spells are based on the manipulation and shaping of energy.
Unfortunately, Elder Yizhi didn’t know much about the Primordial Dream, or rather, with the advantage of the Soul Topic, only witches and races developed the Primordial Dream the most, but the progress still wasn’t enough to establish a foundation for dream magic.
Perhaps the “Primordial Dream” of the Primordial Witch belongs to the realm of dream magic, but it is clear that such techniques cannot be widespread and may not even be cost-effective spell structures.
In the end, these thoughts are merely thoughts, and Elder Yizhi pointed out the limit.
Unsubstantiated speculation is just wishful thinking.
“‘Xiaoyuan’, someone contacted you?”
After a contact prompt suddenly appeared before me, my reaction was also seen by Elder Yizhi.
The person contacting me was Cleveland, one of the few special communications I had.
“Well, it seems to be about the Union Society. It shouldn’t be very urgent.” I opened the message sent by Cleveland, confirmed that it wasn’t anything urgent, and planned to return to Cleveland later.
After all, her message was merely reporting some recent situations.
“Oh, it’s the Union Society.”
“Elder Yizhi even knows this?” I was surprised, not expecting Elder Yizhi to pay attention to the student group.
Clearly, Elder Yizhi didn’t even bother with matters related to Principal Mei.
“I also keep up with the times. Ever since you spread the great Knowledge God, I also communicate more frequently with the outside world and occasionally check what happened in the academy. Academy wars naturally attract my attention even more.”
“Uh… I see.”
“Of course, but I must say that your Union Society and so-called academy wars are still a bit childish, lacking the bloodiness of witches. I’m not only referring to the scale of the war, but also to your boldness. As long as we are still here, extraordinary entities won’t stir up much of a storm, then you should see the visible blue skies.”
The courage to directly declare war on those three extraordinary racial academies.
“Elder Yizhi is right.” I quickly nodded, not refuting anything.
After all, I am also a member of the Union Society. Following the battle at Rock Academy, the Union Society turned out this way in part due to my irresponsibility.
If I had rallied with my powerful strength as a guarantee, perhaps I could have charged into the Wizard Academy, and many would follow me.
But there are no ifs.
“Since someone from the Union Society is looking for you, Xiao Han, then go quickly. This time, we’ve chatted quite happily; you can come see us again when you have time.” Elder Yizhi did not continue on this topic but instead let me leave.
“Alright.” Since Elder Yizhi had said it this way, I could only leave for now.
After standing up and saying my farewells, I looked towards the empty sea of flowers, finally waved my hand, and my figure disappeared in the Forging World Courtyard.
Elder Yizhu, who was smiling and bidding me farewell, gradually lost her smile after my figure completely vanished.
“Ah… finally gone. Modern little witches are truly frightening. Do they even know what they’re really doing?”
“Perhaps… they don’t, but this mindset is excellent; neither arrogant nor hasty.”
“Elder Yizhi commented and then turned to look at a side of the sea of flowers.
Still hiding there, aren’t you? Xiaoyan has already seen you; the person is leaving, and you don’t come out to say goodbye. Even if Spirit Vision cannot win against real sight, the Floating World level is not joking with you.”
As Elder Yizhi spoke, soon more than a dozen figures emerged from the sea of flowers.
The Forging World Courtyard became lively all at once.
…
After leaving the Forging World Courtyard.
This time, I no longer had any worries.
Although the process was somewhat complicated and messy, perhaps leaving some strange impressions on Elder Yizhi and Elder Yizhu, this didn’t matter to me.
After all, I don’t live under others’ perception.
I looked at the message from Cleveland; this seemed to be her first time proactively reporting her recent condition to me.
After I informed Cleveland to wait for me in the Baking House community meeting room, I leisurely headed to that place.
Along the way, I also learned about some recent happenings on the academy network. Other than some videos about conflicts with the Hundred Academy Alliance, there wasn’t much fresh content.
The only thing that caught my interest was the “Magic Bathing Armor.”
This was a title given by several students for specific weapon equipment on the academy network.
It was protective equipment that could absorb magic power… If it were before, I would have been too lazy to care about this matter.
Just protective gear; I would let them know that their armor is as fragile as their flesh!
But after my sister’s deliberate teachings, even if I didn’t pay much attention to it again, I would still take a second glance at the equipment’s title.
Could Cleveland be encountering this problem?
Sister Bai had spoken to me a lot about the significance of equipment, saying that the provision of protection or attack is just a basic effect. The more important significance is to target specific abilities.
In the Void, there are countless abilities, and equipment is just like that. The interplay between extraordinary powers can also enable the weak to overcome the strong through the power of weapons.
After all, energy is limited, and even if lifespan is eternal, one must live long enough for it to matter. However, no matter how long you live, contemporaries are still thorns in your side.
Therefore, equipment is the best way to compensate for one’s shortcomings, an excellent means to target the enemy’s weakness.
In other words, what is a genius?
It is becoming powerful in a short period or doing things that others cannot do; that is pretty much genius.
But no increase in power comes faster than that of equipment!
And no power can complement shortcomings like equipment does, achieving what others cannot.
Just like at this moment, the witch academy faces this clumsy magic armor.
The support of such weapons can even help those who could have been killed by witch students to withstand the witch’s offensive force!
That is the essence of its significance.
Don’t say there won’t be a future for those relying on equipment; no matter how lacking their future may be, they have achieved their purpose now.
The goal is the most important thing.
Arriving at the Baking House community meeting room.
At this moment, Cleveland was already waiting for me here. Merely meeting Cleveland’s gaze, I knew this time was not just a simple work report.
After pushing open the meeting room’s door, I went straight to a side, pulled out a chair, and sat down.
“Cleveland, the report on recent affairs isn’t important to me. Unimportant matters can be skipped; just tell me the important things directly. If something comes up in the future, you can directly mention it; there’s no need for excuses or such.”
As I spoke, I reached out to pick up a pile of things stacked nearby.
Upon inspection, they seemed to be the so-called Magic Absorbing Metal I had seen when I was coming over earlier.
