Chapter 882: Staged Success and the Power Mastered by the Fool's Dreams
Fortunately, Fool's Luck did not encounter any accidents.
“It's fine...”
Existing in the posture of a “Dream-state soul,” Fool's Luck spoke with words that were filled with “exhaustion.”
Such a situation forced me to worry about Fool's Luck's current state.
“Fool's Luck, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? If it's not working, we'll give up for now. We have many opportunities; don't force yourself and break something.”
I spoke with some urgency.
“It's fine... Big Sis Xiao Han... I'm just... a bit tired...... zzz... puff...”
Fool's Luck forced herself to cheer up and tell me the situation, and in the next moment, it was as if she had fallen into a deep sleep.
Falling asleep... within the Primal Dream State; I had to say this way of putting it was very strange.
But so-called sleep was essentially a posture of consciousness relaxation, and even when entering a dream, it was the same.
Fool's Luck fell asleep just like that, seemingly still having some instinctive behaviors that allowed me to understand she hadn't suffered any accident.
Looking closely at Fool's Luck at this time, her posture was even more petite than before, and the Dream-state soul-substance had already been used up.
Now, regardless of anything, with the end of the experiment, I had confirmed through Fool's Luck, plus the Soul Depiction technique, that the purified Nightmare was indeed the so-called Dream-state soul-substance!
Gaining this definite information in advance would greatly promote the progress of the soul-substance to Dream-state soul-substance conversion experiments!
After all, a large amount of Dream-state soul-substance concerned the foundation of the Fool's Dream race achieving life.
I held Fool's Luck beneath the Tree of Fool's Dreams and watched over her.
This experiment appeared to be over, but for me, it had only just begun.
I needed to pay attention to Fool's Luck's state at every moment, because I wasn't clear if Fool's Luck in this posture counted as life.
But for now, Fool's Luck had not stirred up any commotion, reality couldn't possibly have any prompts, and Fool's Luck had not become a Primal Fool's Dream either.
Of course, in this experiment, I still had many things or concepts that had not been tested.
The interweaving of consciousness and memory, the birth of wisdom, the deepening of the soul, the definition of racial concepts, the inscription of bloodline information...
I didn't know what was still missing, but I would give everything I thought of to the Fool's Dreams.
I didn't know how long Fool's Luck would sleep, but I intended to accompany her for as long as she slept; I wasn't short on time.
Accompanying the Fool's Dreams was not a waste of time; observing Fool's Luck's changes at every moment was similarly a process of cognition.
At this time, Fool's Blue, Fool's Fruit, and Fool's Star also came forward to accompany me.
Many Fool's Dreams on the periphery also stopped playing and came to the surroundings; they looked forward to Fool's Luck's success and the success of the experiment.
“Big Sis Xiao Han, did Fool's Luck... succeed?”
“I'm not sure... From the perspective of the experiment, the experiment was a success, but there may still be a road to travel before becoming a true life.”
“Which is the staged success you spoke of, Big Sis Xiao Han, right?”
“Mhm yes staged success.”
I responded with a smile.
After the experiment ended, this wait lasted for a day.
And during this period, I was not without other things to do.
Although a day seemed short, if it was only for the sake of waiting for a Fool's Dream who had fallen asleep, then this time would be stretched very long.
I leaned against the Tree of Fool's Dreams, and the other three little Fool's Dreams were also accompanying me.
From time to time, other Fool's Dreams would curiously come over; some were because of curiosity, while others... were carrying questions.
Yes, questions; questions encountered during the learning process.
Most of those questions they encountered originated from the Great Tree of Knowledge.
Learning knowledge was also the thing Fool's Dreams who chose to stay in Fool's Village did most often.
And I solved their doubts one by one.
These questions were not without answers, but rather some questions were such that even with the answer, one could not know how it was derived.
Their questions were diverse; after all... even Fool's Dreams had their own likes and preferences.
It was as if some Fool's Dreams would even take basic knowledge regarding the Transcendent system to ask me.
And what left the deepest impression on me was a remark a Fool's Dream made unintentionally after finishing her question.
She asked me if, after the Fool's Dreams became true lives, they would also be able to master this kind of power.
The answer I gave her in response was... “Yes.”
After the conversation with that Anti-Witch Cheryl, I also realized that those ordinary people—those without Spirit Vision, that ticket to the Transcendent—would need to pay a greater price and put in more effort.
The Fool's Dreams were the same.
So-called casting was also not something that could be done just by having so-called mental power.
This made me think of affinity.
After that metamorphosis, my Heart Sense broke through the boundary of Heart Sense and touched the field of affinity.
Precisely because I was originally the type without any affinity tendency, I understood how terrifying the enhancement of affinity was for the Transcendent field.
Then this also derived another question.
What kind of power should the Fool's Dreams master?
Should I let the Fool's Dreams master this kind of Transcendent power and practice self-cultivation?
I instinctively wanted to refute this conception.
How could the Fool's Dreams be so ordinary!
Then I thought of something else... the power of the Sacred Object was the power I originally wanted to bestow upon the Fool's Dreams.
But... even now, I could not define the power of the Sacred Object.
I had already endowed the characteristics of the Sacred Object itself with meaning.
But how could such power be used freely by the Fool's Dreams?
Just as powerful races were born with power bestowed by their race and bloodline.
Even for witches, witches born as Transcendents possessed Self-generating Magic Power.
Don't look at the word "Magic Power" as being light, but in witch history recorded before the Magic Power Source technique was born, Magic Power was something that could bring calamity to a world!
Placed within those small worlds, any single witch could be called a Calamity Witch or a World-Destroying Witch.
Because Magic Power was simply too terrifying.
After all, who made Magic Power the highest energy level of Transcendent energy that a Void life could master?
Then the question returned to the beginning once more: what power should the Fool's Dreams master?
This truly was a question that gave me a headache.
Until the moment Fool's Luck woke up, a familiar power popped into my mind—“Knowledge Power.”
But this was merely a conception.
Following that, my attention and gaze were entirely cast toward Fool's Luck.
“How is it? Are you okay, Fool's Luck?”
“Um... Big Sis Xiao Han, I'm very well.”
Fool's Luck instinctively rubbed her eyes, then looked at me.
After her gaze gradually became clear, I understood that the Fool's Dream was in all probability fine.
“It's good that you're fine. How about we go out?”
I spoke in my soul posture while holding Fool's Luck, who had now become a whole circle smaller and more petite.
“Mhm, okay! That... Big Sis Xiao Han, am I now in a similar posture to you?”
“It is indeed very similar. But clearly, at this current stage, you haven't completely finished the metamorphosis toward a dream-state soul essence. Perhaps I still need to refine the Soul Depiction technique to assist you in completing the metamorphosis of this process.”
I held the Fool's Dream while describing experimental topics to them, and finally returned to the Constant Dream Laboratory once more.
After returning to the dream, I returned to reality in my soul essence posture, subsequently taking over my own shell.
After I moved around slightly, I came before Fool's Luck.
At this moment, Fool's Luck and I were separated by the barrier between reality and the dream state.
I had to say, I was starting to get a bit nervous right now.
Because the thing I was going to do next was to let Fool's Luck try to cross the dream as a dream-state soul and come to reality!
If this attempt succeeded, then it would completely prove my train of thought was correct!
“Fool's Luck, can you try to cross the boundary between the dream and reality in your soul posture?”
I spoke.
“I... I'll try......”
Fool's Luck spoke somewhat hesitantly; clearly she also lacked confidence in this.
And as she tried afterward, she suddenly became somewhat pained.
“No... it won't work... there's a feeling like my soul is... is being torn apart...”
Fool's Luck spoke with some difficulty.
“Soul tearing?! Then stop quickly!”
I hurriedly tried to stop her, but Fool's Luck still persisted.
“Fool's Luck! Stop quickly! Do you hear me!”
This was the first time I saw Fool's Luck disobeying my words.
“I... I want to prove... that your direction is correct, Big Sis Xiao Han... a dream-state soul can definitely cross the dream and reality... my inability to cross is not... is not your mistake, Big Sis Xiao Han... it's that I'm not strong enough......”
Fool's Luck spoke somewhat intermittently.
Clearly she was in pain, yet she was still continuing.
“Don't go looking for suffering for me!”
“It's fine... even if my soul tears, in the end I'll just return to my initial posture... do you see, Big Sis Xiao Han? It is possible!”
Fool's Luck spoke excitedly while displaying her body crossing the dream, completely ignoring the pain she was suffering at this moment.
Seeing that body crossing the boundary between reality and the dream, I was moved for a moment, but compared to that, the even more hideous soul tearing was something I could no longer endure, and I yanked the Fool's Dream back into the dream in one go.
“I saw it, so don't force yourself anymore. Take good care of yourself, alright?”
I said to Fool's Luck very seriously.
“Um...... understood.”
Fool's Luck also seemed to have just recovered at this moment, subsequently looking at me and lowering her head to admit her mistake.
“It's good that you know you were wrong. I know you really wanted to prove something, but I am not short on time, not short on ability, and not short on opportunities. You yourselves are more important than so-called success, understand!”
“Understood...”
Rebuked for a bit, Fool's Luck also quickly recognized her mistake.
Seeing this pitiful look of Fool's Luck, I didn't have the heart to continue speaking.
Perhaps... at the moment it happened, I should have supported Fool's Luck in doing so, in acting bravely.
Because if it were me, I would also have made a similar move to Fool's Luck's.
There was no very important reason... only because the efficiency was highest this way, and even if an accident happened in the end, the worst case would be as Fool's Luck said, returning to the beginning.
I would use the Mimetic Soul technique to carry Fool's Luck's consciousness and Wisdom Seed, and everything would return to its initial state once more.
“However... Fool's Luck just now was also very brave.”
My soul crossed into the dream and lightly rubbed Fool's Luck's small head.
After all, facing a Fool's Dream, I still couldn't bear to educate them seriously.
“It was also you who proved to me that my conjecture was correct, giving me the motivation to continue. But you aren't allowed to be this reckless next time.”
“Mhm!”
Fool's Luck nodded hurriedly!
After all, being praised for being very brave all of a sudden made Fool's Luck truly happy!
As for the latter half of the sentence, whether she listened to it... that would have to be said separately.
“Let's go. First stabilize this state of yours, and then we'll slowly try how to perfect this life essence.”
I spoke.
Although Fool's Luck at this moment could be described to a certain extent as a “Dream soul life,” she gave me the feeling of a work of art pieced together from a pile of building blocks—it would break at a touch.
But life should not be so fragile.
Therefore, according to the posture Fool's Luck presented currently and the problems that needed to be solved, clearly the problems that the dream life experiment would need to face next were gradually being presented before me.
And I only needed to overcome all these problems step-by-step.
While helping Fool's Luck stabilize her dream-state soul, the thought from before could not help but surface in my mind again.
Which was the power mastered by the Fool's Dreams.
That thought that popped up before, which was “Knowledge Power.”
This was not a blind thought.
What was Knowledge Power?
Knowledge Power was the order manifestation and power form derived from my domain order.
Then what was my domain?
My domain was constructed upon Self-awakened Body Cultivation and two Grand... no, it was now one Grand Spellbook and the Sacred Object.
And what the Fool's Dream race represented was a “concept” similar to a Grand Spellbook.
Therefore, the Fool's Dream race could also be a part of the domain order.
Of course, this was not enslaving the Fool's Dreams to become a part of my power.
It should be said that I was sharing the order of the domain with the Fool's Dreams.
After all, the Fool's Dream race had replaced the Great Wisdom Enlightenment Spell, so theoretically, they could also become a “Subject” of the domain order.
After all, I myself was also the subject of the Self-awakened Body Cultivation power, dominating the domain order with Heart Sense as the domain foundation.
Then the Fool's Dreams could similarly do a similar thing!
Using the Fool's Dreams as an “extension” of the domain was already no longer just as simple as sharing the power; it was a win-win of shared responsibility and common progress!
What was more primary was that the foundation of the Fool's Dreams, the Tree of Fool's Dreams itself, was closely related to the Great Tree of Knowledge.
If the Fool's Dreams carried the power of the Sacred Object, then the tier of the Tree of Fool's Dreams was actually already on par with the Great Tree of Knowledge, forming a complementary stance for the domain with me through mutual supplementation.
One could say the Fool's Dreams were completely linked with me from the very beginning.
The Fool's Dreams supplemented the domain order with the power of the Sacred Object, mastering the ability of Knowledge Power.
Even though with their small heads the Fool's Dreams might not necessarily be able to understand domains and order, and even less be able to dominate such power perfectly, the order of a domain was itself a synonym for power.
At least in this way, the Fool's Dreams would have barely mastered power.
But this was only a thought of mine.
After all... even from those materials I collected from within the Great Tree of Knowledge, I could not find a thought as crazy as mine.
Using a race as the carrier of [Transcendent Knowledge], and then using them as base points to complete the order of a domain!
Then sharing the domain with them, collectively dominating and developing the order of the domain.
The stronger the Fool's Dreams, the more powerful this “Composite Domain” would become!
No one could define if this still counted as a conventional domain, but it could exist like this, and existence was reasonable.
Therefore... I was willing to try!
And before long, Fool's Luck's state also gradually stabilized.
Now, I was suddenly not in a hurry either.
Because I had at least one purification method as a final backstop.
And I only needed to purify enough Dream-state soul-substance in large quantities.
Incidentally, I could also try more purification methods to look for even more convenient methods.
