Chapter 1165: Primordial Witch
The closer one gets to the core area of the Great Library, the more figures of witches can be seen. Some of them are in a hurry, some are leisurely, some merely linger in one place to observe the bustle, while others appear to have formed special groups to promote some peculiar culture.
After reaching a certain boundary, those figures gradually fade away.
However, they still exist in my true field of vision.
“I do not recommend you attempt to enter a world layer that already has other witches present. You can see them through your own ability, but you cannot intervene unless the other party agrees.”
Just as I was about to try to see if I could enter these spaces, the voice of the Primordial Witch stopped me.
“Alright, probing into others’ privacy is indeed not very good, but isn’t your protection a bit too low? I can completely understand what they are talking about and doing. If we are to protect their privacy, it would even require me to actively block my instincts,” I complained.
“That’s because it’s not privacy for you. Strength itself is a form of capability. For a comparatively weaker witch, if they touch upon something too secretive, I would also actively deploy means to prevent eavesdropping. In short, can you stop trying to exploit loopholes here? How can you call yourself a Holy Realm Witch and not have the awareness of a powerful being?”
“Fine, I’m just curious… By the way, why isn’t there a front desk here for you?”
I actively interrupted this topic and shifted the focus to the matter at hand.
After actively shielding those “visions” that crossed the layers of space, all that remained before me was an empty front desk.
A moment ago, I could see that every witch who approached the front desk had an accompanying Primordial Witch doing different tasks, but in front of me, it was empty; no one was there.
“How could that be?”
The Primordial Witch in her Fool Dream Form flickered and appeared at the front desk.
Her actions also made me understand some things.
“So every front desk corresponds to a clone?”
“You can understand it this way. From now on, no matter when or where you come to find me, you will always meet me,” the Primordial Witch said. The “front desk” behind her also swiftly shrank, becoming an appropriate size matching her form.
I looked at the suddenly reduced front desk, lowering my head to glancing at her petite figure, and I couldn’t help but want to laugh.
Is your front desk this small? Isn’t it inconvenient to receive me?
Do you even use the front desk? In the end, isn’t it still me using it? Just stand there, will you?
Have your remarks always been this aggressive?
I’ve always had this attitude.
So… what should I do?
I continued to ask.
You don’t need to do anything. As long as you accompany me to get here and create a front desk office area exclusively for this clone of mine, it will basically be complete.
Just like that? Do I really have to do it? Can’t you do it yourself?
No. The Primordial Witch looked at me and then entered a working state. Not long after, she handed over a filled-out form: “Check if the information has any errors. If everything is fine, you will be recognized as a formal Extraordinary Witch by me.”
I took this “form.” Although it felt a bit strange to call it that, I understood it upon contact.
This seemed to be a very special contract, where the parchment merely served as the carrier of this power, while its essence represented another concept.
However, I searched for a long time and did not find the most important part of the contract.
That was the signing position.
What are you looking for? A form is nothing special, right? Or is there really some mistake?
In terms of feeling, it seemed like a contract, but it didn’t require me to sign anything. I said frankly.
Its power belongs to the derivative of the Witch Contract, but it isn’t a traditional contract. If it had to be said… you could understand it as a one-sided contract I have with you.
I don’t understand.
You can think of it as a contract in which I am responsible for you. Do you know the Betraying Witch? Once you become the Betraying Witch, this contract becomes invalid, and the corresponding clone of that betrayer will also disappear. There will never be a reception front desk belonging to her here in the Great Library.
How do you confirm they have become betrayers? I asked curiously again.
Originally, I wouldn’t tell any witch about this because they wouldn’t understand, but you might because I can explain it to you in a way you understand, which is… the feeling, just like what you said not long ago.
Earlier you mentioned that…
“Oh~”
“Stop oh-ing. Are you done looking?”
“I’m done.” I shook the paper and took one last glance at the content on it, which was filled with records of my deeds in the Main World.
This meant that the Primordial Witch before me knew almost everything about me and my secrets.
“Thank you for your cooperation~” The Primordial Witch rarely showed a smile. After archiving that information, the form transformed into a special power and data, archived on a certain shelf within this Great Library.
Then the Primordial Witch made a pulling gesture to her head, and I saw a special information being extracted.
Being very sensitive to the essence of life, I immediately recognized that it was… memory!
Then she destroyed that memory in front of me.
You are destroying your own memory?
Of course~ Do you really want me to have all your information? Can you imagine the consequences if I knew all the information of every witch in the entire void, what I would face?” The Primordial Witch naturally retorted.
I had to admit, this retort indeed left me speechless; it was a very good question!
Even the Primordial Witch cannot handle the consequences of knowing all witches’ privacy and secrets.
Rather than facing the resentment of witches, it was better to proactively destroy that part of the memory.
“Alright… Do you still remember me now?”
Isn’t that a given? I remember the basic information, Yang Yuelan, born in the Main World, transformed from the Human Race into a witch, with the subject of Awakening of a Perfect Being… A road I’ve never heard of. Oh~ That note is quite impressive to witches~
?
The protection of witches’ privacy is, of course, of utmost importance, and this realm of prevention also includes me. Your records have been archived, and as long as I want to know, I can retrieve them at any time and check temporarily. If there’s anything you don’t want me to know, you can tell me, and I can specifically erase that part of the memory.
For the Witch Race, you can really go this far?” At that moment, I looked at the Primordial Witch with a changed gaze.
I somewhat understood why the Primordial Witch was so beloved by witches. Besides her own powerful strength, it was more her responsibility towards an entire race. That kind of responsibility is not something everyone can bear.
This sense of responsibility, which allows all Extraordinary Witches to enjoy a sense of security, is truly hard not to admire as a witch.
Even if the Primordial Witch said she would pass this important position to you, you would not dare accept it, and you might even plead with her not to do so.
“I don’t need you to feel anything about my work; this is just a part of my daily routine. If you really feel a lot about it… I also welcome you to reward me. The minimum is one Magic Source, and the maximum is unlimited.”
After the Primordial Witch finished speaking, she took out a sign and placed it on the table, which read “Donation Station.”
And I could see that this was a sign she had hastily crafted.
“Just so happens that you are now a registered Extraordinary Witch, so you can charge normally.”
“Alright then, I will donate one,” I said, taking out a Magic Source. “Consider it paying you back for the one I took before.”
“Don’t talk nonsense! I could never be scammed! If you disclose this kind of thing, it would be slander against me!”
Though the Primordial Witch said this, her body was very honest, and she took the Magic Source from my hand with great ease.
After carefully “wiping” it a bit, a smug smile appeared on her lips, and then she turned around to throw the Magic Source into the Great Library.
The Magic Source instantly transformed into magic power and merged into the Great Library.
The reason I “willingly” donated this Magic Source was, of course, to verify the “payment channel” that the Primordial Witch had mentioned before.
Now it seemed… this donation indeed was not kept by the Primordial Witch herself, but was funneled into the Great Library in a manner I wasn’t clear about!
“Yes, yes, yes~ As the ancestral origin of the Witch Race, how could you be scammed by me?” I looked at the Primordial Witch and immediately went along with her words.
After finishing this, I then received a “you’re quite smart” expression from her.
“By the way, before coming here, you seemed to say that there was something you wanted to find me for. Is it really necessary to talk about it here, instead of making it convenient at the Forging World Courtyard?” I actively initiated this topic.
This matter you shouldn’t have lost with the previous memory shattering, right?
Oh, of course not.
You wouldn’t forget, would you?
Is it because of the impact of memory shattering?
How could I forget?
It’s just that this matter is indeed very important, of course, it is very important to you. In short… you can handle it.
After the Primordial Witch said this, her Fool Dream Form leaned half her body on the front desk, extending her hand towards me, making a gesture.
The gesture of collecting payment.
Ah? You have something to find me about, and you still want to charge me? What logic is this!
In the Great Library, I am the logic! Just tell me if you will pay or not~ Anyway, in the end, I won’t be the one losing!
But this…
Is related to the Fool Dream Realm.
How much do you want? Is ten thousand enough? Hearing the interrupted question, I fell silent for a second and immediately changed my mind.
What? A billion? That’s too much; I can’t be so immoral… how about one hundred million, just to make it a round number.
??
A hundred million makes it round how?
Just right for self-circulation in one field~ Isn’t that round? Are you going to talk or not? Are you going to give or not?
Sure!
I gritted my teeth; this Primordial Witch must be holding a grudge for that Magic Source I took at the Forging World Courtyard!
Is it just one Magic Source?
To ask me for a hundred million is so excessive!
But for me, who has infinite magic power, this doesn’t seem to mean much anymore.
However, I am truly upset about this!
One hundred million Magic Sources is quite a lot; I need to adjust my abilities with some special methods. Can you wait for me a moment? I asked.
I’d thought before that the construction of my infinite magic talent was somewhat “deformed,” after all, it was achieved through the temporary borrowing of the totem’s traits to create “pseudo-infinite magic.” Now that totem has transformed into the “Primordial Life Essence Totem,” becoming the most critical guide and component for the Awakening of a Perfect Being.
That means infinite magic could be derived out more efficiently and controllably based on the framework of the “Awakening of a Perfect Being,” with genuine “derivatives!”
Of course, you can, as long as you don’t maliciously destroy the Great Library.
The Primordial Witch at this moment appeared like a merchant waiting for a customer to pay, full of patience and tolerance.
“Just to ask, the ability you mentioned should be that special talent of infinite magic, right? You want to reconstruct that talent?”
“Right.” I nodded, “Do you have any advice?”
“My advice will require payment and will depend on my mood. What I’m actually asking with this is: when you attempt to reconstruct this talent, I need to harvest all the magic that dissipates and it won’t count towards that hundred million Magic Sources because these magics may damage the Great Library, so this is my extra fee.”
“……”
This time, I was truly speechless. At times, I would indeed be shocked by the thought process of this Primordial Witch, but thinking it over, it seemed there wasn’t really any problem.
“Alright, do as you wish; after all, I can’t control that magic either, and if you can utilize it, that’s your ability.”
After saying this, I paid no further attention to it.
Originally structured on the essence of my life, “infinite magic” was quickly restructured, and the brand-new talent order began to derive gradually from me.
During this process, the magic that emanated surged like a cloud ocean blocking the sky, instantly sweeping throughout the entire Witch Grand Library!
The terrifying magic, merely through the most extreme surging, formed a magic tidal wave that filled the witches with despair.
In an instant, this magic burst out from the “Independent Reception Area,” swelling as it engulfed the outer public area.
Witches passing through the outskirts immediately felt a strong suppression of magic power, and some weaker witches were hurled away.
Before they could respond, the nearby gigantic and towering bookshelves of the Great Library revealed special guiding orders that swallowed this magic as if guided into the Great Library itself.
“Whoa~ What’s happening? Who dares to act violently in the Great Library?… Do they no longer want to live?”
“How terrifying! There’s no order aura at all; it can actually counterbalance my field order?”
“Which big shot has come? The magic is spreading from the front desk reception area; did someone attack the Primordial Witch?”
