Chapter 895 Overlapping Ideas—Life Evolution
It had been several days since those three witches, Long and the others, left the laboratory.
The theoretical information they received was actually not difficult; the difficult part was actually combining practice with understanding.
During this period, they also contacted me many times through the Seed of Great Knowledge, all asking about detailed questions, to which I responded very carefully.
I really had high hopes for them.
After all…… I needed to admit that, from the perspective of talent, they far surpassed Big Sis Bai.
Of the three witches, two had self-awakened Body Cultivation, but unfortunately, their application in this area was still too shallow.
I admitted that I definitely couldn't beat them in terms of body cultivation, but if one wanted to talk about the development and expansion of self-awakened Body Cultivation, they definitely couldn't beat me.
As for the other dragon witch… Dragon bloodline was actually a very comprehensive and powerful bloodline.
Perhaps Long looked like she wasn't doing great, but that was also due to her straightforward personality, not because her brain wasn't working well; otherwise, how could she have spontaneously completed the awakening of her sixth sense without self-awakened Body Cultivation?
Therefore, in terms of comprehension ability, they were also absolutely up to standard.
However… the time for them to conduct the formal experiment had not yet arrived.
Setting aside those three witches, these days, the most heated matter in the academy was none other than the matter of the Ice Throne Secret Realm.
Recently, rumors were exposed on the academy network that the Ice Throne Secret Realm was a trap.
Those who entered to explore would have the fragments they carried remain in the secret realm upon leaving, unable to be taken out.
This immediately triggered a denunciation from people of other Transcendent academies regarding this matter, considering it a blatant act of banditry!
The Witch's Secret Realm Club and the Wan Shi Wu Club jointly responded to this incident and stated they were unaware.
Through actual testing, fragments could travel back and forth through the secret realm teleportation channel; only when forcibly breaking through the secret realm space would it cause the secret realm to trigger a resonance of the same source power, resulting in the fragments being unable to be taken out.
In response, the Witch's Secret Realm Club also expressed condemnation toward explorers who damaged the stability of the secret realm space, stating that reckless use of space-tearing abilities would irreversibly exacerbate the stability of the secret realm……
It could be seen that this would be another one-sided war of words; after all, the academy network was the home field of the Witch Academy.
Although the sounds of condemnation on the academy network were constant, once the Ice Throne Secret Realm displayed this characteristic, many people also realized that this was merely accelerating the progress of this bloody struggle.
The weak had no qualification to leave peacefully with the fragments.
And this secret realm would ultimately only have one winner.
This was the outcome they all hoped to see; what mattered was merely which person laughed last in the end.
Originally, I didn't want to pay attention to this struggle, but within this struggle, there was something I cared about very much, forcing me to cast my gaze there.
That was… the Great Snow Throne Spell.
The current state of the Great Snow Throne Spell was actually not one of complete shatteredness.
A complete shattering should be like my Great Wisdom Enlightenment Spell, becoming a piece of [Transcendent Knowledge], instead of turning into fragments that still possessed powerful strength.
It was like function zones that had been disassembled; even if they individually became fragments, they could still exert their former power.
Of course, none of these were the main points.
The main points were actually some secrets revealed to me by Academy Head Mei regarding the Main World consciousness and the Ancient Glacial Ice.
First, the Ancient Glacial Ice had gone extinct once on the level of the void, and the witches resurrected this race within the Main World.
And this must have gone through a process, which was… the Main World recognized the Ancient Glacial Ice as life belonging to the Main World.
Furthermore, the [Transcendent Knowledge] of the Great Snow Throne Spell originally belonged to the “original objects” of the Main World and was a representative of power.
Life of the Main World + Power of the Main World.
The Ancient Glacial Ice race, which dominated the Great Snow Throne Spell, became the orthodoxy of the Main World.
At that time, when I heard Academy Head Mei tell me this, I was nearly stunned!
Initially, I thought the witches were just using the Grand Spellbook to locate the Umbilicus Mundi, but I didn't expect the witches at that time wanted to directly overturn the orthodoxy of the Main World's Race of Destiny!
Using the resulting world vibration to locate the Umbilicus Mundi and weaken the control of other Transcendent academies over it.
But clearly, this plan failed.
How it failed, Academy Head Mei didn't tell me in detail.
But the final result was…… the Ancient Glacial Ice race permanently became mascots within this secret realm, including the Great Snow Throne Spell.
The birth of this Grand Spellbook was much earlier than I had estimated.
Subsequently, after a long period of maneuvering and compromise, the Great Snow Throne Spell was stripped from the Ancient Glacial Ice race, and later this Grand Spellbook was shattered.
This process dragged on for a long time.
And now, this Grand Spellbook was about to be aggregated once again.
At this moment, I finally understood that regarding this Ice Throne Secret Realm incident, the Witch Academy didn't care; on the contrary… the Witch Academy cared very much!
But the more they cared, the more they couldn't personally interfere.
This was a gamble; restarting this secret realm was a major move, meaning the witches still wanted to use this to play their old tricks once more.
And the other Transcendent races wanted to take this opportunity to completely send this Grand Spellbook out of the Main World, destroying this plan that had not been cut off.
In passing, they could also trade for the most important Myriad Worlds Terminal of the game world.
By then, even in the worst case where the Main World was destroyed, they could take this [Transcendent Knowledge] back to their own race, and the loss wouldn't be too severe.
After all, the Main World had been developed to this point; its value only remained in producing the population resource with Spirit Vision talent for the Main World, as well as other incidental resources of the Main World.
Even if the additional significance of the Main World was important, it still had to be translated into the benefits it could bring to the race.
Now that the witches had mastered the Main World restoration technique, if they couldn't gain a foothold and share in the interests of the Main World, destroying the Main World was also a long-term strategic victory for them.
Therefore… this struggle and battle for the secret realm concerned the subsequent direction of the Main World!
No one had thought of this point, nor had I.
If this time, the Witch Academy's side obtained all the fragments, then the other races would fall into an awkward position.
They would need to make a choice.
But there were only two choices before them.
One was to immediately use the Umbilicus Mundi they controlled to destroy the Main World.
One must know that the determination required to make this decision was huge; Academy Head Mei even asserted that among those Transcendent academies, no one had the courage and boldness to make this choice.
Don't forget, there was also the Great Weakening Spell in the Core Realm!
The Umbilicus Mundi wasn't as convenient as a self-destruct button for the Main World, and they had no chance to protect themselves.
With the Great Weakening Spell, if they wanted to make the choice to destroy the Main World, then all Transcendents would have to be buried here with it.
Which was a desperate struggle where neither side would get any benefit.
But in this process, what did those dead Transcendents gain?
They fought to suppress the future development pace of the Witch World for their race, and then it was gone.
The most critical thing was that they would all be dead!
So they weren't stupid; they also knew they had no choice.
The second choice was to wait and see, watching the Witch Academy side make its move.
If they could take it, they could maintain this situation for who knows how long; if they couldn't, they would be forced to jump to option one to be used for deterrence and confrontation.
And if the struggle for this secret realm ended with a student from outside the Witch Academy laughing last.
Then they merely gained another way out.
The current situation could still be maintained, and this disgusting method of the witches could even be completely stifled.
This was the current maneuvering among the academy races that I could understand from my perspective.
Academy Head Mei told me before that the Main World script wasn't anyone's script; anyone with the ability to interfere with it could turn it into the form they liked.
In my view, there were two interpretations of this sentence.
The first was that for this kind of situation, it was necessary to introduce me as a variable into the game, but the lack of specific instructions from Academy Head Mei also meant I could act freely.
This also displayed the Witch Academy's response to this maneuver; after all, it was very difficult for the same method to succeed a second time, not to mention that the first time itself had never succeeded.
The Witch Academy also understood that the probability of this plan succeeding was slim, but they needed to cause trouble for the other side; after all… what if it succeeded?
The second was… the Academy Head was hinting that I could use this grand trend to complete some of my own ideas.
After all, the momentum of the world's Destiny was very powerful and illogical. Within the world, the Main World itself was the logic!
And I… indeed had some ideas that required some illogical means to complete.
For example…… letting the Main World recognize the Fool's Dream as life!
Even if that didn't work, I had to at least improve the state of Fool's Luck occasionally falling into slumber.
But no matter what, contacting the Main World consciousness was the most fundamental.
If the former two couldn't be achieved, then using this opportunity to obtain a stable means of communicating with the World Consciousness was also a gain, even if this channel was unstable… it wasn't impossible.
In short, it was better to lower my psychological expectations a bit first.
***
Within the Original Dream State laboratory.
A special soul-substance gradually turned into a pure soul under the technique of Soul Depiction.
But if it were merely like this, it was actually still not enough.
When it entered my body, my own soul essence could not actively absorb and accept this soul.
And this required another means to assist self-acceptance of this soul to strengthen my own life level.
Over the past two days, I had also carefully learned about the techniques for soul-substance absorption, but this method of extracting soul-substance was established upon the characteristic of “soul-substance like dissolves like.”
Meaning that the most primitive soul-substance life would find its own way out.
But a soul could not do such a thing; after all, a soul was evolved from soul-substance, a transformation of the essence of soul-substance. It defined a new concept for life and endowed life with a powerful foundation, so naturally, it could not strengthen itself through the former primitive methods.
It was like a ball of mud; mud of the same kind could increase its size, but a cell phone couldn't use another cell phone to increase its performance; otherwise, what would that become?
A tri-fold?
But this was only a metaphor; describing a soul wanting to strengthen itself, there were almost no shortcuts to take; it could only be done slowly.
But… I didn't believe it.
At least Soul Depiction gave me such confidence.
It gave me the possibility of a leap-forward improvement in the aspect of soul level.
Perhaps, from the beginning, my thinking was wrong.
My focus shouldn't be on the fusion between two souls, but should be on the self-improvement of a single soul, forcing a single soul to rapidly absorb nutrients to strengthen itself.
And this… just happened to overlap with another one of my ideas.
That was… Life Evolution.
This was originally a technique I should have used when helping the Fool's Dream define race concepts and depict bloodline information.
But switching to another line of thought, this was actually a means of actively interfering to strengthen the soul essence!
Life… Evolution!
When I took myself at this moment as the starting goal and defined “Transcendent” as the evolution template, it had already been cleared on a fundamental theoretical level.
As for how to achieve the improvement of the life level in practice, I could use the “Witchification” template of the Magic Power Source.
After all, Witchification itself was a “technique” that subtly strengthened the life level.
The more I knew, the more I marveled at the Magic Power Source and other witch truth offerings, because there were too many techniques worth my learning within them.
Even I didn't expect that the “Life Evolution” technique, which hadn't had much progress on Fool's Luck, actually had a new breakthrough at this time, on my own body!
At this moment, I felt the boiling of my life level, constantly and thirstily absorbing the nutrients brought by the soul.
The level of my soul essence began to show a visible improvement…
But this was only the beginning!
When this technique gradually perfected, the conversion rate of soul crystals for my soul essence would also continue to improve.
Then what kind of scene that would be afterward, I could even foresee it!
In a moment when everyone was pessimistic about me, I could already strengthen myself through this means and reach Transcendent directly!
At that time, what kind of gaze should those fellows use to look at me?
It must surely be very exciting.
However… this technique was currently still restricted by many factors.
For example, soul crystal utilization and conversion rates, and my own carrying and acceptance capabilities.
More importantly, of course, there was also the adaptability and acceptance capability of my consciousness and cognition!
In the final analysis, these problems could actually all be categorized as my own problems.
And I would slowly overcome them!
“Xiao Han, what's wrong with you?”
At this time, a familiar voice sounded behind me.
“Big Sis Bai, why did you come?”
I was startled subconsciously, and the afterglow originating from the soul level had not yet dissipated, making my figure a bit shaky.
“Of course I came to see you after finishing my work. What was wrong just now?”
No matter what was said, Big Sis Bai came forward to hold me in her arms.
“Mmm… I was trying a technique for rapidly improving the soul level under Transcendent.”
I spoke very honestly to Big Sis Bai; with Big Sis Bai, there was no need to hide many things.
“Did you experiment on yourself again?”
“Ai-yah it's fine.”
I hurriedly said, as I didn't want Big Sis Bai to worry in this regard yet, “Look, am I not fine here.”
“Whether it's fine or not, I have to check it myself!”
Big Sis Bai spoke thus, and then her hands suddenly became dishonest.
“Mmm, mm! It's clearly a soul-level experiment, yet you are still always rubbing around on my body, eating tofu, aren't you?”
“Fine it looks like you should be fine, Xiao Han.”
Seeing me so energetic, Bai Yu withdrew her hands with some lingering desire; after all, she also knew this was a laboratory.
But ever since Xiao Han had been in the laboratory, they had still not had intimate interaction for a long time.
