Chapter 1085: Announcement of the Verdant Forest World
The newly arrived students felt as if they had stepped into a completely different extraordinary world, while other extraordinary academies were subtly ridiculing the Witch Academy for its lack of combat ethics.
At that moment, within the Witch Academy, the representatives of the Union Society were in shock.
This representative meeting of the Union Society was initiated by the Baking House representative, Cran.
What she talked about was none other than the arrival of the “Verdant Forest” world.
“According to the data and model deductions provided by Teaching Assistant Xiao Han, when the Verdant Forest world collides with our Main World, it will not merge directly. The differences in world rules will create a stagnation at the level of rules between the two worlds, which means that this sudden event does not affect the entire world, but rather is a localized collision…”
“May I ask why it takes this form? Is this considered the second Expanding Realm?” A question arose from the meeting.
“This is not the first Expanding Realm; the formation of an Expanding Realm has its origins, which in this case do not apply. The only thing I can say is that this world will slowly merge with our Core Realm,” Cleveland said somewhat regretfully.
“Then may I ask what kind of world merging this will be, and what kind of impact will it have on our local…”
“Will there be some natural disasters like earthquakes and tsunamis accompanying this?”
“Will our surface continent expand?”
As those who snapped back to reality from their shock quickly fired off a series of questions they were concerned about.
After all, this was a world-level event!
What if a world-class earthquake or tsunami occurs…? Would this lead to a civilization extinction?
“The effects are absolutely present, but let me explain,” Cleveland continued, then opened the model deduction for world fusion.
“Without the intervention of an instructor, the mutual relationship between the two worlds can be understood as ‘mutual consumption.’ However, our world is far larger than the Verdant Forest world, so the end result of this mutual consumption will definitely be our absorption of the other.”
“This matter is no joke. Can you guarantee that?” someone asked worriedly.
“This has been calculated and verified by the instructor. If you’re not at ease, you can end the discussion and obtain the model deduction from me to inquire with your own instructors,” Cleveland confidently replied.
“The duration of mutual consumption’s instinct, without instructor intervention, may last for several centuries, or even up to a thousand years; however, do not forget what the Verdant Forest world means to me: it opens up a new battlefield for our academy, shifting the original conflicts!”
“At least a hundred years of time will be enough for you to thrive within the trees. I don’t understand what you are worried about. Once the situation in the Main World stabilizes, the issues with the Verdant Forest world will naturally be addressed by the instructors. What we need to do now is to seize the opportunities that are coming!”
Cleveland’s words lifted everyone’s concerns about disaster, and the mention of “opportunity” made many people’s eyes light up!
The attendees were mostly students who had participated in the initial Expanding Realm exploration tasks, representing abundant resources!
“I would like to ask, will the academy limit our actions within this so-called Verdant Forest world like it did in the Expanding Realm?” someone seized the opportunity to inquire.
“Before the situation in the Main World becomes dominated by the Witch Academy, the Witch Academy will not impose any restrictions on us. This world is not the Expanding Realm; it is a battlefield that Little Lian has fought for us! This world will not have any development; it will only harvest and suppress other extraordinary academies!”
After all, the wars in the Main World have a massive impact, bringing suffering even to ordinary people. Even if it’s just conflicts at the academy level, they will inevitably affect the daily lives of ordinary people.
Therefore, a battlefield that greatly reduces the impact on the Main World is crucial.
It is like an independent war sandbox separate from the Main World.
What if some extraordinary academies look down on this and do not participate?
Ahhh… is that even possible?
That would be a world!
After all, it’s an ordinary world with no extraordinary forces; the land, rocks, trees, and water resources… are all valuable materials.
If someone thinks these things are worthless to extraordinary beings? That only shows that their vision is not qualified to create value with them!
Moreover, this is a world filled with extraordinary forces, with numerous elf communities; even without the World Tree’s elf community, it still has plenty of value.
This meeting transformed from initial shock to skepticism, and ultimately, as the distribution of benefits approached, everyone grew merry.
Each one envisioned a bright future, occasionally expressing gratitude and admiration for that Teaching Assistant Xiao Han, who facilitated all of this.
However, many in their hearts felt a deeper wariness towards this “Little Witch.”
After all, Cleveland had explicitly stated that the Verdant Forest world was a world obtained by teaching assistant Xiao Han through reverse invasion of the player world.
Such a method was something they couldn’t even dare to imagine, so they could only rely on future benefits to quell their inner fear of this teaching assistant.
As the meeting concluded, representatives from various clubs within the Union Society quickly approached for conversations, hoping to gain more intelligence about the new world.
Cleveland also received many invitations from clubs privately, hoping to invite her for a meal.
As for what schemes she had in mind, Cleveland couldn’t be bothered to ask and ultimately only accepted an invitation from the All-Purpose Workshop.
Why?
Because after this meeting, she had to meet with a former leader of hers.
Millien.
Although she currently stood on the same level as Millien, she still held great respect for this “senior” who had given her such an opportunity.
With the holidays approaching, she had heard that Millien had taken root in the Expanding Realm and could temporarily return to the Witch Academy.
She was certainly aware of the level of accomplishments Millien had achieved in the Expanding Realm.
The former president of the All-Purpose Workshop, Ming Xueming, who had accompanied Millien, was also well aware.
Thus, the All-Purpose Workshop held a deeper understanding of the Baking House than other clubs; basically, any proposal made by the Baking House would be actively supported by the All-Purpose Workshop, clearly showing a stance of alignment with the Baking House.
Because part of the people in the All-Purpose Workshop understood that once the Witch Academy lifted all restrictions on the connections and trade between the Core Realm and the Expanding Realm, the so-called Natural Disaster Group would become disasters looming over every family in the Core Realm!
However, Cleveland did not care about that for now. Millien’s return to the Witch Academy during the holidays also signaled another message: the “region” that the Union Society had built would also occupy a considerable share for the Baking House. Even if the Baking House didn’t have family influence to assist in basic construction, it had to retain its share.
These places could be said to serve as the foundation for development in the Core Realm.
Of course, Cleveland had also heard that the purpose of Millien’s return this time was also to participate in the Self-Generated Magic Power talent shaping during the holidays!
Since the experiment for the Self-Generated Magic Power talent concluded, the academy had initiated a regular incentive program for students endowed with Self-Generated Magic Power talents.
The selection and recommendation quotas were exceedingly strict, even requiring the signing of contracts that bound them under the Witch Contract, stipulating that within a certain period after obtaining the talent, they must be promoted to extraordinary witches to graduate.
Failing to fulfill the contract would forcibly erase the talent!
This meant that Millien’s involvement in this project also represented her absolute confidence in being promoted to extraordinary.
Crossing the transmission gate between the Witch Academy and its branches, Cleveland arrived at the Witch branch in the Expanding Realm.
Millien had returned to the academy by transitioning from the Expanding Realm into the branch, and then from the branch to the main academy.
Although in principle the branches did not open cooperative access to the Expanding Realm, there were always people with privileges.
“Millien, welcome back.”
Cleveland went personally to greet Millien. Millien had missed an entire period of Union Society activities, and most of her understanding of the current Witch Academy came from chatting and related materials.
Additionally, Cleveland hosted a small reception banquet, inviting many important figures from the Union Society to attend.
This was not a necessary step, but as a representative of the Baking House and Little Lian’s support faction, Millien held a very important status.
Especially for the All-Purpose Workshop, they were well aware that the girl in front of them had thoroughly become a sharp blade in Little Lian’s hands.
If they had to assess the old Little Lian, they would say she had absolute power; however, now… the counterpart had the ability to uproot their entire clan, which was something that would inevitably instill fear in them.
The only fortunate thing was that Millien’s influence and power in the Expanding Realm currently could not affect them.
But… what about in the future?
That is the sword hanging over their heads, able to take their lives at any moment!
They did not fear absolute power; the order of society was within their control, and they had ways to navigate within their framework. But now that the counterpart had the means to remove family powers painlessly, that instilled fear.
This banquet was both meant to help Millien make up for her absence from the Union Society and to test the other’s attitude; it was also a declaration: the Baking House would now start to display its sharp fangs.
Who is the enemy, who is the friend? They must begin to take sides.
With the arrival of the Verdant Forest world imminent, even if they did not wish to become friends, they must smile and become partners, at least to ensure everyone would, on the surface, remain unified.
The only regret of this banquet was that the teaching assistant they were most eager to see, Xiao Han, did not attend in person.
No club has been able to find out where she was, despite all their efforts to gather information upon the Witch Academy. This highlights the difference between them and her.
And those three words of “let’s leave” they spoke were actually in their own instance realm.
As for this banquet, I was not very interested; however, Cleveland still asked me, as per usual, including the purpose of this banquet and so on.
After understanding all this, I remained as usual, quietly waiting for the Fool Dream to shatter.
If this incubation process can be successful, it will become a key node in the subsequent construction of the life cycle of my dream species.
However, there is another problem to resolve… who will nurture such a large egg?
Let the dream do it itself?
I looked at the nearly basketball-sized Fool Dream Egg; its size was almost as big as Fool Dream herself!
Absolutely impossible.
Moreover, once Fool Dream is born, she will be almost “fully grown,” leaving little room for development.
Perhaps I could have the Fool Dream Egg shrink and then give Fool Dream a developmental growth process.
But to have Fool Dream lay the egg herself… well, that image is a bit too hard to look at.
I should think of some other methods…
This made me recall the posture Sister Bai taught me: the Witch Breeding Topic.
However, the Breeding Topic still involves a witch as the medium for nurturing, giving birth to witch eggs after removing the comfortable and cumbersome processes.
So… is there a possibility to nurture Fool Dream directly, without an individual medium?
There indeed is a possibility; for example, the hundred Fool Dream Eggs I create are living examples.
But this method requires too many spell derivatives and special skills, with such a high barrier that none but I can achieve it.
Perhaps I could try lowering the requirements a bit, to make this process more accessible.
For instance, require more time and harsher conditions for nurturing.
After all, as far as I know, taking care of witch eggs is also quite tedious, and their survival rate is very low. After all, once a witch egg hatches, it starts as an extraordinary young witch!
Just as I was at a loss, after days of nurturing and incubating, the first Fool Dream broke free from its shell!
“Wow wow wow…”
After breaking the shell, the newborn Fool Dream let out its first instinctive cry, subconsciously expelling biological nutrient liquids that had shaped its body within the egg.
I approached, quickly taking a blanket and wrapped the Fool Dream up.
Once her body, essence of life, and consciousness perfectly aligned, her opened eyes were filled with curiosity about the reality around her.
“Sage… sister!”
With my Cleaning Spell gently helping her clear away those remnants, this adorable Fool Dream immediately called out.
“Welcome to reality~” I responded with a sincere smile, offering a welcoming blessing to the first Fool Dream to arrive in this way.
“Is there anywhere you feel uncomfortable?” I shook her little head and then said.
As of now, based on data from the Great Knowledge Tree, I have not discovered any issues, but that does not mean there aren’t any.
“No! I feel great~ Everything around me… is so novel! This is… breathing? Hu… xi… hu… heartbeat? And also…”
The first born Fool Dream was like a wondrous child, observing everything in reality from a completely new perspective.
And unlike babies… they had continuously absorbed the intricate messages and knowledge from the Great Knowledge Tree even before birth.
