Chapter 900: When No One Is the Winner, Someone Will Always Be Anxious
“It is indeed just as I thought.”
I said with a light chuckle.
After all, although this choice was said to be a gamble, it was never a question of betting on acceptance or rejection.
Instead, it was betting on whether the Main World Consciousness could help the Fool's Dream become a true life!
The Earth Vein Chains were never something troublesome; after I broke away from it, it would no longer become my obstacle.
Subsequently, I used the domain order to observe the status of Fool's Blue and the others.
Although Big Sis Bai said she did not observe the Earth Vein Chains, it did not mean I could not.
In the Main World Core Realm, reality and the Dream State reached a balance.
Since the phenomenon of Earth Vein Chains had already appeared on Fool's Luck, then Fool's Blue and the others were almost there too.
After all... there were also Earth Veins within the Dream State.
A complete world possessed two levels: reality and the Dream State, but the world could not encompass the entire Primal Dream State.
It was more akin to a product of balancing reality and the Dream State, a swaddling cloth shaped for the nurturing of life.
Reality was the reality of the “Endless Void” Material Space.
The Dream State was the Dream State of the “Primal Dream State” Shallow Dream Layer.
This was the special concept within the Endless Void and the Primal Dream State——the world.
After carefully observing the Dream-state Soul of Fool's Blue and the others at this moment, I also faintly detected the traces of the Earth Vein Chains, but it was not as obvious as Fool's Luck.
It seemed that the world also treated reality and the Dream State differently.
However, this also made me think of some other issues, such as...... Dream State creatures.
Although these guys could not be counted as life, the Nightmares that shaped the Dream State creatures were themselves considered another form of Dream-state Soul-substance.
Then... would there be Earth Vein Chains inside the bodies of Dream State creatures?
If there were... then would Dream State creatures have territoriality?
After this question appeared, I quickly denied it myself.
The world could not touch the deep-level Primal Dream State, so it naturally could not interfere with the Dream State creatures there.
There was no concept of territory within the Primal Dream State; even if there were Earth Veins, there could not be any so-called belonging characteristics.
Even if there was a belonging, it might only belong to the Primal Dream State...... wait?
Belonging to the Primal Dream State?
When this thought emerged in my mind, I suddenly thought of a possibility.
Why couldn't Dream State creatures belong to the Primal Dream State?
I really hadn't thought about this before, because I didn't draw an analogy between such a massive concept as the Primal Dream State and the world.
After all, in my inherent impression, the Primal Dream State was benchmarked against the Infinite Void!
After all, the Dream State and the Void were the ones corresponding to each other, and the Dream State covered all places where the Void existed.
I hurriedly shook my head and discarded these unrealistic thoughts; at least for the current me, thinking about these issues would have no result.
In order to verify this conjecture of mine, I even went to the Nightmare storage room to deliberately observe for a while, but I did not discover any Earth Vein Chains reaction similar to the Fool's Dream on the Nightmares.
In other words, this idea was invalid, or... it might be valid, but I could not observe it, nor could I concern myself with it.
So after casting aside these issues, I placed all my energy on Fool's Blue and the others.
As long as they all completed the barrier crossing from the Dream State to reality, then I could proceed with the creation of reality bodies for them!
After all, after possessing a soul body, coordinating with a body in reality, and combining the derivative technique of the Soul Depiction technique “Life Evolution” and the Reincarnation Spell, I could better inscribe the Fool's Dream's bloodline information!
At the moment when I was busy with the Fool's Dream's affairs.
Mei Linde's office also stirred up a big commotion on their side.
“How is the Destiny Gazing Technique instrument operating?”
Mei Linde asked according to routine.
“Self-check is in progress. Currently, some interference items can still be observed. It might be a problem that occurred when we were debugging.”
“What interference items? What is the specific situation? Can it be repaired? Can it be ignored?”
“Uh...... we observed the Destiny interference of the World Consciousness within the academy.”
“That one in the Ice Throne Secret Realm? No need to worry about this, block it out.”
Mei Linde spoke.
“No, the interference from the Ice Throne Secret Realm has already been blocked, this is a new one.”
The witch responsible for direct observation spoke.
“New? Where?”
“Mm, checking the position, over at the experimental area...... the secondary self-check is completed, it is not an error display.”
“Over at the experimental area......”
Mei Linde fell silent.
The experimental projects there... to be honest, even she could not interfere with many of them.
After all, even if she was the Academy Head, it did not mean she had authority in all domains.
“I've been a bit sensitive hearing about this place recently... it couldn't be Little Han playing tricks, right? Little Han has already severed the Earth Vein Chains...”
Mei Linde said self-consolingly, but the more she thought like this, the more she felt something was wrong, because Little Han really might do it.
After all, wasn't Little Han working on the Fool's Dream Dream State life project recently?
Dream State life......
She didn't know what kind of posture that life form took, nor did she know if she would be lucky enough to see it for the rest of her life.
“So what should we do, ignore it? Or ask Little Han to come over and help debug it? Didn't you say Little Han is trying to adapt to the Floating World level Spirit Vision recently? It shouldn't be too troublesome, right?”
“You also want to be told by that Anti-Witch that we only know how to rely on a Lesser Witch all day long?”
Mei Linde spoke faintly, “It's not like we can't do it.”
“I think you have been driven obsessed by that Anti-Witch, right? What does it mean that we only know how to rely on a Lesser Witch? Deconstruct this statement, why don't you ask her to ask the Primal Witch Lord, why does she only rely on the Anti-Witch to correct the Witch Clan's unhealthy atmosphere?”
“Exactly There is specialization in the art, and the same goes for talent. Do you understand what efficiency is?”
A witch at the side also echoed.
“Tsk I also have the burden of being the Academy Head...”
Mei Linde could only hold her forehead and speak: “Forget it, forget it, wait until Little Han is free and let her... better wait until she comes to find me for something, and let her do it in passing.”
“You are increasing our workload for no reason!”
“Remember to continue debugging after scolding. Aren't I sharing the hardships with you all? It's not like I'm not putting in effort.”
***
Inside the Ice Throne Secret Realm.
The fierce wind howled, and even the snowflakes wrapped within were as sharp as blades.
Tan Han and her party of three crossed the ice plain, vigilantly using detection spells to perceive the situation in the distance.
Previously, after they were forced to scatter by large groups of Ice Crystal Monsters and monsters above the clouds, they borrowed special means to complete their regrouping.
After all, they knew in advance that there would be a risk of getting lost, so they couldn't be completely unprepared.
It was just that during the regrouping stage, they also suffered quite a bit.
But as they gradually adapted to the environment within the Secret Realm, they also summarized some small tips for surviving here.
Moreover... Tan Han and the others also discovered that here, any spell might be suppressed, but the fragments split from the Great Snow Throne Spell were like fish in water here!
She even only needed to lightly liberate the power of the Wand of Absolute Cold to crush those Ice Crystal Monsters of the same ice and snow origin, but this was not without drawbacks.
The drawback was... with the use of the fragment's power, these Ice Crystal Monsters would also chase this power to find them.
Yes, these monsters would be attracted by the power of the fragments!
However... among the three of them, the Frozen World held by Shi Ruizhi exploited this loophole.
Tan Han and the three of them hid inside the Frozen World, immune to those ice and snow disasters, and also ignored the physical attacks of the Ice Crystal Monsters.
Although this would attract a large number of Ice Crystal Monsters to find them, it was useless if they couldn't hit them.
But even so, these days, Tan Han and the others' lives could definitely not be counted as stable.
“By the way... Tan Han, do you have a feeling that the wind and snow in the Secret Realm seem... to have become weaker?”
In a temporary karst cave resting place, Shi Ruizhi hesitated for a moment before asking.
“Didn't they say that this kind of extreme weather in the Secret Realm is the spell effect of the Grand Spellbook? This kind of spell effect should be constant and unchanging right......”
Xiao You spoke and reminded in a low voice.
“Constant and unchanging is its inherent characteristic, but it doesn't mean it cannot be worn down by a large number of targeted means.”
Tan Han spoke.
“Is this mentioned in the data?”
Xiao You looked embarrassed, then opened the Seed of Knowledge preparing to check carefully.
“No need to flip through it, it's not mentioned in there, this is what I learned from Little Han.”
“Little Han...”
Xiao You shut up instantly upon mentioning this name; she didn't have the courage to refute this person's words.
“Since Little Han said it, then it must be true. So... someone is making a move against the spell environment within the Secret Realm?”
Shi Ruizhi asked.
“That is certain. Maybe they had inquired about this characteristic as early as the beginning. It is not difficult to inquire about this news from the mentors; what is difficult is thinking of this issue.”
Tan Han also briefly explained the situation.
“If this environmental problem in the Secret Realm is solved... no, even if it is just weakened, then the problem of exploration will no longer be a difficult problem, right? At that time, the intensity of competition might be even greater.”
“Mm... wanting to wear down this Grand Spell requires a massive amount of magic power. No wonder those clubs were so fiercely recruiting those students who completed Self-generating Magic Power before.”
Tan Han also recalled the movements of those clubs at that time, recruiting students possessing Self-generating Magic Power.
At first, she thought too simply, thinking they were just simply serving as massive magic power reserves.
Unexpectedly, they were actually used for the confrontation and wearing down of the Grand Spell.
“But doing this, isn't it a thankless effort for them? Wasting so much effort, just to make wedding dresses for others?”
“That's not necessarily true. Those people from the families can be said to be birds of a feather. Maybe they united long ago. They seem to target each other, but in reality, the families are huddling together for warmth.”
“Then this is too disgusting. In that case, doesn't it mean we have to deal with a united group of entire families?”
“Indeed disgusting...”
Tan Han had also learned about the distribution of fragments from Little Han.
Basically, they were all controlled by the families.
Now, those holding the fragments were basically representative figures of the families holding the fragments.
Only a very few... but these are not worth mentioning.
“But... we are not without the possibility of turning the tables.”
At this moment, Tan Han suddenly spoke.
“What do you mean?”
As Tan Han said this, Xiao You and Shi Ruizhi's gazes both looked over.
While Tan Han looked at the chat history in front of her.
And this chat history was precisely... Yang Yuehan.
“Think about it from another angle. If it were Little Han, what would she do?”
“Mm... unclear.”
“She might directly destroy the Secret Realm.”
Xiao You spoke in a low voice.
“Correct! That's right! If it were Little Han, Little Han would definitely overturn this Secret Realm!”
Tan Han nodded, agreeing very much with Xiao You's statement.
She could probably summarize Little Han's style of conduct in these ten words: “Watch the fun when winning, flip the table when losing”.
Anyone who didn't want to let her have a good time had the table flipped on them by her.
“Huh? But we don't have Little Han's kind of power either, right? How do we toss this Secret Realm?”
Shi Ruizhi said somewhat helplessly; after all, this was indeed the fact.
“We can't, but does the Secret Realm not have it? You make me think of the Bobapus Archipelago; in the end, that island had its volcano ignited by us and finally erupted.”
“Hah? You guys have actually done this kind of thing?”
Shi Ruizhi said in shock.
“Forgot you lost your memory. Actually, it was just a student joint exam. Let's not mention this. Let's first talk about the information we know now and organize the information.”
“Okay.”
“First, we need to figure out how many forces are in the Secret Realm, and which ones can be utilized.”
“Families, us, and a few scattered individuals... is that about it?”
Shi Ruizhi counted on her fingers and said.
“You missed one, and that is the Ice Crystal Monsters. No... actually they have a name, they are called... Ancient Glacial Ice.”
“Ancient Glacial Ice!”
Hearing this name, the one with the biggest reaction was Xiao You.
After all, her biggest trump card, that Super Consumption Spellbook, was the “Ancient Glacial Ice Transformation Spell”.
“How do you know?”
“Outside help, obviously. In this situation, do you expect us not to cheat?”
Tan Han also made a humorous retort at this moment.
“Uh... alright...... asking in a low voice, who did you ask?”
Shi Ruizhi asked in a low voice.
“Little Han.”
“Then... anything else?”
Shi Ruizhi froze for a moment upon hearing this name, instantly feeling a sense of security, then asked again: “You can continue speaking, I won't interrupt.”
“According to reliable news... mm, the Ancient Glacial Ice is a group of ancient life revived by witches. Currently, what we have encountered are all some weak ones. The combat power of the true Ancient Glacial Ice...”
Tan Han looked at Xiao You as she said this, “You have also seen it. They can even harness the power of wind and snow, completely on a different level from what we are currently encountering. What we are encountering now is mainly them occupying the home field environmental advantage, plus numerical superiority.”
“Then these guys can help us overturn this Secret Realm?”
Shi Ruizhi asked.
“The current Ancient Glacial Ice naturally cannot, but those powerful Ancient Glacial Ice can. Of course... the premise is that we have to return their power to them.”
“Return their pow... wait, it wouldn't be the fragments of [Transcendent Knowledge], right!”
“That's right. We are temporarily weak, and wanting to get all the fragments is simply unrealistic. Then let's muddy the water. This way, we indeed can't get the fragments, but others also can't get them either!”
“Then in that case, do we not want the fragments anymore?” Shi Ruizhi asked.
“Someone will want them for us. Wait until the Ancient Glacial Ice breaks through the Secret Realm and the situation escalates, the person who set up this situation will always need to come out to clean up the mess.”
As Tan Han thought this, she recalled the time when the Fool's Village Secret Realm shattered...
Secret Realms were not indestructible.
Those people thought about using Self-generating Magic Power to offset the Grand Spell effect, then wouldn't it be better if she just directly overturned this Secret Realm!
“When no one is the winner, someone will always be anxious.”
Tan Han looked at this sentence sent last on the chat history, and she felt... It made a lot of sense!
