Chapter 849: Fat Meat on the Cutting Board, at the Mercy of Others
The eeriness of the Primal Dream State and its disordered rules that exceeded reality were the chasm that hindered reality-consciousness from exploring the dream.

Just like the races of the Void promoted from weakness to Transcendent, it was only when their own life tier touched True Time that the races of the Void truly realized just how vast the Void actually was.
The reason “True Time” was prefixed with “True” was due to a sentiment felt by the first batch of great existences who explored True Time; having discovered things never seen before, they believed that was the real world.
Based on True Time, Transcendents obtained a leap in the utilization of Void energy, and the essence of this ability was the leap in cognition by Transcendents.
Even a Transcendent who knew nothing about True Time could instinctively perform the most basic applications of it.
It was like two lives born in primitive and civilized societies; even without a systematic teaching process, everything they came into contact with during their growth transformed into instincts to which they adapted.
Cheryl thought so much, but only such an explanation could allow her to realize the status of the Primal Dream State.
And she had to admit that the shock the little witch named Yang Yuehan before her eyes brought her far exceeded all the geniuses she had witnessed in the past!
Look at that massive Order Body within the Primal Dream State; every movement brought about the reorganization and dissipation of order within the Primal Dream State.
Even an entire dream world was played with between her palms.
This was the means a “prospective” Truth Witch in her heart should display!
At this moment, her eyes held only an indescribable fanatical light, completely disregarding that she was still drifting within the Primal Dream State.
It wasn't just Cheryl; at this moment, across more than half of the Expansion Realm affected by the Primal Dream State, those who had been caught into the Primal Dream State similarly fell into a dream.
Only, most of the people who were currently in a night dream had no real sense of it; they only felt that they seemed to have had a very vivid dream.
However, their life essence made it difficult for them to see the real Primal Dream State through its illusions.
Only a few individuals inadvertently glimpsed the massive figure standing across the galaxy in the sky within their dreams, but before they could see the full view clearly, they fell once again into deeper layers of the dream.
Within the Primal Dream State.
I watched as the Fool's Village dream in my hand radiated a transparent glow.
This was my first attempt at letting the order of the Dream Domain completely dominate a dream.
This dream gradually transformed into a seed, which I lightly pressed into my brow.
Right now, I didn't have much time to handle the issues of Fool's Village.
Currently, I needed to quickly solve the disaster the Primal Dream State had caused to the Expansion Realm.
My eyes slowly opened, and subsequently, I noticed a world not far in front of me.
Instinct told me this seemed to be the Expansion Realm.
And I… was observing the Expansion Realm from such a perspective for the first time.
It was truly beautiful… like a refined replica of a world model the same height as me.
My hand lightly rested upon this massive Expansion Realm “model.”
Countless deposited pieces of Information were stirred up by my movements like dust.
I could feel that there were nearly infinite consciousnesses floating above the Primal Dream State…… these seemed to be the consciousnesses of the Expansion Realm’s original residents?!
For a moment, I suddenly realized what I seemed to have done.
So many people's consciousnesses on the Expansion Realm had actually been caught into the Primal Dream State?
It had to be said that, facing so many “innocent” people, I gradually calmed down after experiencing initial panic.
The life and death of these people seemed to be within a single thought of mine, but at this moment, I lacked any “real sense” regarding this.
This feeling was like a human who dominated the lives of ants.
But humans never truly felt sympathy for ants.
Even though I was thinking very seriously that these consciousnesses were all humans just like me, I found that I still didn't have much empathy for them.
Was this the indifferent posture that those Transcendents held toward non-Transcendents?
Even though I had not yet become a true Transcendent, I still felt this mindset was terrifying.
And watching my own mindset transform into this without being able to stop it felt even more terrifying!
However… from a rational perspective, these original residents of the Expansion Realm were crucial to the development of the Expansion Realm.
After all, population was the foundation of a world and social development.
So regardless of the reason, I needed to resolve the situation of these ordinary people trapped by the Primal Dream State.
I lightly reached out my hand.
The power belonging exclusively to the domain order spreads out infinite strands of Knowledge Power.
These strands of Knowledge Power interfaced with these lost consciousnesses; anchored in reality, I could naturally bring them back to reality.
As for how to make the Primal Dream State recede in reality… I was powerless even regarding that kind of thing.
It was like human civilization inventing nuclear weapons but being unable to eliminate the pollution brought by them.
However, once the consciousnesses of those ordinary people underwent anchoring by my Knowledge Power, they could be spared from being swept away and lost by the Primal Dream State for a period of time afterward.
Most of the consciousnesses of these ordinary people gathered in shelters or nearby locations.
The only slightly troublesome part was the Ninglan territory, as it gathered several shelters, Sanctuaries, and the core main city, Ninglan New City.
But all of this was merely a matter of time for me.
With the Great Tree of Knowledge and the Dream-reconstructed Great Tree of Knowledge, I could locate individuals and the anchoring of consciousnesses within the dream through a double positioning of the dream and reality.
Thus, such a massive workload was merely a matter of waiting for the spell's information processing.
And while processing these consciousnesses, I also discovered special existences…
Specifically, the core area that had always concerned me.
Within the earth vein information, I obtained the name “Top of the Sky Abyss,” given by the elves.
And here… were gathered the consciousnesses of almost all the Transcendents this time.
Regarding these consciousnesses, I naturally wouldn't send them back like I did with those ordinary people.
Compared to these fellows, I cared more about Big Sis Bai.
From the communications earlier, I knew Big Sis Bai, as well as the Academy Head and the others, were all here.
With the Primal Dream State suddenly spreading so wide, they must have all been caught in it.
“Found them…”
Just by looking, the earth vein information within the Primal Dream State quickly marked their locations for me.
So it was very simple for me to find them, and none of them had deliberately hidden themselves.
I lightly waved my hand.
Massive amounts of Information transformed into an unfurled picture scroll that surfaced before me.
And the image of this picture scroll was the form I expanded in the posture of the Dream Picture Scroll, because this kind of image was more like a platform for dialoguing with me.
Accompanying the expansion and anchoring of Knowledge Power, I “invited” them all over.
The reason I didn't take them back to reality at the first moment was because I wanted to ask how the Transcendents from other academies should be handled.
Although I also had some thoughts in my heart, such as "better to kill by mistake than let one go" regarding these fellows who wanted me dead, this also needed to take into account the position of the Witch Academy.
After all, the number of Transcendents affected this time… was a bit too large.
Even in the assassination attempt on me last time, the Transcendents who died were only from the Dragon Blood Academy.
But here… those gathered were all top-tier Transcendent academies!
The Transcendents of one academy numbered over a dozen at the fewest, and at least dozens for the larger ones!
If they all became lost in the Primal Dream State, the term “damaging the foundation” wouldn't be enough to describe the losses of those Transcendent academies.
At this moment, the group of witches from the Witch Academy.
“Mhm Little Han has noticed us,” Mei Linde spoke.
Subsequently, she felt a familiar Knowledge Power and a powerful aura of order leading her toward the massive picture scroll that had been unfurled.
“Time to go. Let's see exactly what kind of massive commotion Little Han has caused.”
Bev Ailana also excitedly accepted the anchoring of Knowledge Power.
Subsequently, the entire witch was led by the Knowledge Power, rapidly crossing unmeasurable dream distances.
Once they landed steadily upon this massive picture scroll, they discovered that this picture scroll did not seem to be blank.
It was just that they couldn't see the content clearly or completely; they could only vaguely discern that the images on it were like casual doodles by a child.
Yet as they stepped upon it, it was surprisingly smooth.
Following the arrival of Bai Yu and the two Academy Heads, Mei Linde saw another figure being drawn over from another direction.
It was precisely the Anti-Witch Cheryl.
“What a coincidence you are all here?”
Cheryl also engaged in conversation quite sincerely after meeting Mei Linde's group of witches.
“It is a surprise that you are here as well. Perhaps you should thank Little Han for bringing you over,” Mei Linde spoke.
“Of course! Stop having so many bad prejudices against us Anti-Witches, will you? It's not like I don't know how to be grateful.”
However, while they were conversing, several more figures were added to this picture scroll.
Their current postures were extremely wretched; they were even thrown somewhat roughly onto this picture scroll.
They formed an extremely sharp contrast with the witches' side.
Mei Linde also quickly recognized these fellows; they were all Transcendents from other Transcendent academies!
Only, they were currently in a very wretched state, seemingly tortured by those dream creatures to the point that even their spirits were somewhat abnormal.
But with their life tiers touching the Transcendent level, it wasn't enough to let those dream creatures tear them completely to pieces.
However, if they wanted to live a normal life in the future… that would be difficult.
Maybe they would even have indelible psychological shadows left behind.
“Big Sis Bai Academy Head, and… these witch sisters, you should all be fine, right?”
I looked at the several figures who had arrived on the picture scroll and spoke to inquire. If their situation wasn't good, I would immediately send them all back to reality.
“Little Han, we are fine. As for you, your current situation…”
At this moment, Big Sis Bai was the first to speak out of concern.
“Me? My current situation is naturally as good as can be. On the contrary, these fellows seem to be in a bad state.”
I rested one hand lightly on one side of the scroll while pointing at those Transcendents with my other hand and laughing.
“Bai Yu, let me talk to Little Han.”
At this moment, Mei Linde stepped forward and spoke to Bai Yu.
“Mhm…”
Bai Yu hesitated for a split second, then nodded.
“Little Han, you brought us here because you wanted to ask how these fellows should be handled?”
“Hmm? Big Sis Mei even guessed that? I was just about to ask.”
I asked with a bit of surprise.
Given the current situation, a discerning person could indeed quickly see what was going on.
Regarding the handling method for these fellows, I truly didn't know what to do.
After all, they concerned the entire situation of the Main World.
While I was conversing with Academy Head Mei, many of those Transcendents who had been made quite wretched by the dream creatures also reacted.
After all, with my appearance, many dream creatures had fled as if for their lives, leaving these fellows alone.
So they could still fortunately remain; they truly should thank me.
“As expected! All of this is a conspiracy of you witches! You've plotted against all of us!”
“You witches truly have a grand hand. To think your research in the Primal Dream State has actually had such terrifying progress. You acted this time just to keep us all here?”
“Let us leave, and there's still room for talk regarding this matter. Do you witches really want to see the Main World be buried along with you!”
At this moment, Academy Head Mei and I locked eyes and instinctively started laughing.
It looked like some people had not yet recognized the situation.
And the few fellows who had recognized the situation didn't have the courage to speak at this moment.
“Big Sis Mei, these fellows know far too much. If you ask for my personal opinion, I actually don't really want them to be able to return to reality. As long as you give the word, I can use a hundred methods to make them completely lost in the deepest layers of the Primal Dream State, never to return to reality.”
“Sigh Little Han, those words are a bit extreme. No matter what is said, they are important frontline scholars in their respective Transcendent academies. Their value is even more precious than their own lives.”
Academy Head Mei and I sang in harmony, instantly making them shut their mouths.
This feeling of being able to decide others' lives or deaths within a conversation was a very miraculous experience for both sides.
“Then what should be done with these fellows?”
“Naturally, to maximize their value.”
“Then… they know far too much. If we let them leave…”
I spoke while pretending to be in a difficult position.
“I! We are willing to sign the most stringent Witch's Contract! We swear we will absolutely not reveal any information!”
Right at this moment, among that group of Transcendents, a fellow in the form of a Holy Angel suddenly shouted loudly.
His voice was so shrill it was hard to believe this fellow was actually a Transcendent Holy Angel.
“Damn it! You spineless bird-man!”
Seeing someone soften up directly like that, someone immediately started cursing on the side.
Clearly, he still wanted to gamble—gamble that the Witch Academy wouldn't dare target so many of their Transcendents like that.
But this bird-man's early softening directly broke their only current bargaining chip.
In the next moment, that Wizard who had shouted was directly flicked away by a massive force, falling directly from the picture scroll into the deep layers of the Primal Dream State.
This sudden change instantly made them recognize the current situation once again.
They were already fat meat without any ability to resist, left at the witches' mercy on the cutting board!
I retracted my hand, watching that consciousness that fell into the Primal Dream State with indifference.
I felt no internal stir regarding this; I only felt that letting them die like that was too easy on them.
However, Academy Head Mei saw my dazed gaze and thought I felt I had gone a bit too far just now.
“Don't mind them, Little Han. Our Witch Academy has already notified them in advance about the Dream Calamity in the Expansion Realm. So we have sufficient reason to outwardly separate the losses of this incident from our Witch Academy's involvement.”
“You! You witches truly laid a trap in advance…… I… I didn't say anything……”
After hearing Mei Linde's words, one of the people was instantly too angry and wanted to question her, but directly admitted defeat and shut up after seeing my threatening gaze.
