Chapter 626: Thoughts on the Great Wisdom Enlightenment Spell

My conversation with Millian did not last long.

After confirming that they could not learn the technique to Dispel the Dream State, Millian did not bring up the matter again.

She herself was not a Teaching Assistant, but a member of the Wan Shi Wu Club.

As for her dyed white hair... she claimed to have once been a member of the Little Han Support Group, and after some investigation... well, she really was.

As for the Baker surname, she indeed had some relationship with Teaching Assistant Winnie Baker; accurately speaking, they were from the same family.

No wonder Teaching Assistant Winnie sent her over.

However, these little schemes were not very effective against me.

The situation had now reversed; they were the ones who had a favor to ask of me.

I must say, when you hold the initiative in a conversation, it is indeed very relaxing to chat.

Their main intention for coming was still to establish the second large Shelter here.

However, they were not very well-prepared this time.

After all, it had only been a few days, and their primary thought was still on solving how to Dispel the Dream State problem, as this was arguably the biggest obstacle to establishing a Shelter.

It was also because of this matter that the cooperation between the Wan Shi Wu Club and me to establish the second large Shelter was not viewed favorably by others.

However, regarding the establishment of the Shelter, I did not intend to do it myself.

Instead, I planned to hand the matter over to those eighteen people and continue to be a hands-off boss myself.

As for whether those eighteen people would mess it up...

So what?

Was I their babysitter?

No.

If they couldn't seize the opportunity given to them, then they deserved the consequences.

However, before taking Millian to meet those eighteen people and talk further, I asked her about the progress of the other Transcendent Academies.

Since they said I was building the "second" large Shelter, that meant no one else was currently constructing a Shelter of this magnitude in the Expansion Realm.

But I remembered that people from other academies also planned to build one, right?

They had to do this to establish a stable Teleportation Channel with their own academies.

“Indeed, the other academies do have such plans, but constructing a large Shelter is not something that happens overnight. Site selection, construction, food sources, refugees, and other issues all require careful consideration. In fact, they have already tried and failed in many different locations.”

“Failed? Can you tell me the reasons?”

I inquired curiously.

“Of course, this is not very classified information. There are many reasons for failure, most of which are comprehensive, but generally speaking, they relate to the reasons I just mentioned: a lack of experience initially, wrong site selection, and then the Shelter construction issue. With their manpower, it's truly difficult to build a Shelter without the cooperation of our Witch Academy's professional personnel...”

After listening to Millian's account, I had a more intuitive sense of the difficulty of Shelter construction, especially the examples she cited afterward, which made me feel that it was an immense headache!

It seemed I was right to be a hands-off boss now.

“By the way, I heard that those Transcendent Academies are very interested in your Calamity Shelter. What are your thoughts?”

“Then let them be interested. What does it have to do with me?”

I said nonchalantly.

“This... you mean it doesn't matter even if they establish a Teleportation Channel with their own academy there?”

“That question is for those seven people at the Calamity Shelter. I have handed all matters over to them. If they find it profitable and beneficial for future development, then they will accept. If they don't want to be associated with other academies, they can refuse. So you're asking the wrong person.”

I said.

“I see. I didn't expect Teaching Assistant Xiaohan's thinking to be so advanced. Aren't you afraid that those seven people will destroy the Calamity Shelter? After all, it is your hard work, isn't it?”

“First, let me correct a mistake: the Calamity Shelter is not my hard work. And for the second point: what if they destroy the Calamity Shelter? They are the ones who will be homeless. Even if they just mess up the Shelter, they brought it upon themselves.”

“I see...”

Millian seemed to understand something, then continued, “Then... is the Second Shelter the same way? Are those eighteen people you mentioned earlier the spokespersons you chose?”

“More or less. So, any specifics regarding the construction process afterward will need to be communicated with them.”

After ending this topic, I led Millian to meet those dozen-plus people, taking the opportunity to brief them on a few things.

Of course, some points of attention needed to be emphasized as well.

However, one thing seemed to have truly exceeded Millian and her group's expectations.

“Teaching Assistant Xiaohan, you are teaching them the Meditation Method? And those... Spells?!”

“Is there a problem?”

“Although I know this is everyone's freedom, I genuinely want to say that this will truly be a terrible decision.”

“Are you afraid of them possessing power, or afraid of them holding power?”

I asked with a smile.

“Are they not the same? Fine... this is your decision. I won't comment further, but I sincerely advise you not to continue.”

Millian sighed and did not continue.

In fact, before entering the Expansion Realm, there was a tacit understanding among many people not to spread Transcendent power.

Because such behavior was truly... asking for trouble.

After all, a group of defenseless refugees and a group of refugees who mastered Transcendent power were two different concepts.

When one holds a sharp weapon, the urge to kill arises. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

When they can't even eat their fill, what is the Transcendent power they master for?

Therefore, it was best to eliminate unstable factors wherever possible.

However, I just smiled and did not respond to this matter, letting them communicate and converse with those people.

As for why Millian said this in front of those people... Hehe, she was probably trying to gain my favor.

After all, for those people, loyalty is established through comparison.

Millian wanted to use this method to portray herself as the "bad guy" in front of those people, and me as the "good guy" who imparted Transcendent power to them.

But I would say I didn't care at all.

The fruit of the Myriad Connection Main Network Tree was different from my Sequence Derivation Seed of Great Knowledge.

Once the Seed of Great Knowledge took root in another person's Sea of Consciousness, I had no authority to reclaim it, just like a plant has no ability to control the seed it condensed after it takes root and sprouts.

But the Myriad Connection Main Network Tree was different.

It was merely a transformed technique under my Seed of Great Knowledge derivation system.

The technique was what mattered, not the Myriad Connection Main Network Tree itself.

Therefore, I had absolute authority over the Myriad Connection Main Network Tree.

Furthermore, with the Power of Knowledge and the Great Knowledge Sharing Technique integrated into it, I had the right to directly cut off anyone's Game Qualification.

Without the Game Qualification, they had no way to master the casting of Spells or skills, leaving only the physical actions memorized by their bodies.

They would even lose the ability to control the Earth Energy that the fruit had granted them with their Mental Power interference.

So, I was not afraid of them using this power against me.

In fact, even if they truly possessed this power, I still wasn't afraid.

After my part was done, I immediately returned to my spot.

Back in the root cave, a certain creature was still wandering around.

“Why are you so playful? I was right next to you, and yet you dared to attack those people?”

I looked at the Dream State creature still wandering around and scolded it.

However, this time I did not use the Consciousness Communication Spell, so this was purely an expression of my own emotion.

But this Dream State creature seemed very wronged, even though it clearly didn't understand.

Several smaller Dream State creatures around it suddenly disappeared, leaving only it there, timely showing a pitiful look.

I looked at it and finally resigned myself.

I really wasn't good at dealing with these creatures, but just watching their active movements could relieve my sullen mood when I was bored.

“If you could become smarter... maybe we could have barrier-free communication with the Consciousness Communication Spell.”

I sighed.

A Dream State creature was a Dream State creature; even with the Consciousness Communication Spell, more effective communication was impossible...

Thinking of this, I suddenly realized something...

Should I try using the Great Wisdom Enlightenment Spell on them?

They were not Fool's Dream, so they didn't have those necessary prerequisites.

Moreover, as I interpreted the research data on the Great Wisdom Enlightenment Spell, I generally understood the more detailed and direct effect of this Grand Spellbook.

It was to bestow a seed of wisdom upon creatures lacking it, allowing them to learn to think and discern right from wrong.

Because of this, the effect of this Grand Spellbook was not as obvious for creatures that already possessed wisdom, focusing more on the "Enlightenment" rather than "Wisdom."

Recalling the Fool's Dream from back then, and then thinking about the Fool's Dream now, I was a personal witness to their changes.

At least the Fool's Dream now was living well in the Witch Academy, which was sufficient proof that the enlightenment of wisdom was very effective for them, though the effect was gradual.

But ever since I used the Great Wisdom Enlightenment Spell on Fool's Dream, I haven't used it much.

The rare use was... on Big Sis Bai once, and how should I describe that time?

Remarkable effect?

Perhaps I should try it on different targets more often; that would be the correct way to understand it.

And wasn't the Dream State creature right in front of me an excellent target?

Once a fixed way of thinking is broken, new ideas begin to flow!

Since Dream State creatures could be used, then... what about Mutated Beasts?

Although thinking this might seem inappropriate, I had to admit that this was also an option I could choose.

“Stand still! Be a good boy and don't move. I'll give you a buff.”

I suddenly stood up, staring at the Dream State creature with a hint of mischievous smile on my face.

The Dream State creature at this moment was confused, not knowing what I was about to do.

Its illusory body kept shifting.

And I directly cast the Great Wisdom Enlightenment Spell onto its body!

But the Spell effect completely missed.

“Hmm?”

I hesitated slightly, then realized that the target was a Dream State creature; there was no carrier or anchor for it in reality.

The Fool's Dream back then also had a real-life carrier, created by the Academy Head through Metamorphic Incubation, serving as the anchor for their consciousness.

It seemed I was still taking too much for granted...

I sat back down.

I couldn't exactly cast the Spell on it in the Dream State... the effect of a Dream State spell would be negligible, making it meaningless.

However, it might be too absolute for me to categorize everything in the Dream State as meaningless, as there were meaningful existences in the Dream State.

For example... Dream State creatures.

Meaning is something people bestow.

If that was the case, I suddenly recalled something I had tried before, something I had done to Fool's Dream previously.

Soul Mimicry!

A hypothesis of bestowing meaning upon a Dream State creature in reality!

It was the effort I continuously made to allow Fool's Dream's consciousness to enter my Sea of the Dream State.

Every time their consciousness entered my Sea of the Dream State, it would shatter, but after trying "Soul Mimicry," the time before shattering was at least slightly delayed.

This proved that my approach was at least feasible, but at that time, I did not have the ability to advance this technique further.

And the "Soul Mimicry" performed on Fool's Dream was actually a derivation of the Spell effect of the Great Wisdom Enlightenment Spell.

It was just that this technique was not mature.

But now, after touching the truth of the soul, I obtained the Soul Dream State.

According to the common knowledge imparted to me by the Witch Sisters, this was the Dream State space formed by the Authority of the Dream State within the soul, and it was the secure dwelling place of the self's soul.

Although I didn't have much information, I did know that the Soul Dream State unified my Sea of Consciousness and Sea of the Dream State.

Perhaps I should try again to see if Fool's Dream could enter my Soul Dream State.

If it could, that would be a completely new breakthrough point.

Thinking of it, I immediately acted!

Driven by inspiration, I slightly adjusted my state, then looked at the Dream State creature that was still "carefree."

Forget it, the matter of Fool's Dream takes precedence.

Closing my eyes, I used the Great Knowledge Sharing Technique, using the Seed of Great Knowledge carried by Fool's Dream as a medium to convey my thoughts to them.

After all, if I wanted to run a test, I naturally needed Fool's Dream's cooperation.

Entering the Soul Dream State, the Dream State here was immense, but the boundary of the Dream State did not seem to be a void like the Sea of Consciousness; instead, it was filled with countless stars!

The Soul Dream State I was in was like a dreamlike Sea of Stars.

And the Dual-Tree Structure formed by the Great Tree of Knowledge and the Tree of Wisdom's Enlightenment also floated above this Sea of Stars.

I could feel the difference in the Soul Dream State. Compared to the mere Sea of Consciousness or Sea of the Dream State, everything here was closer to the Dream State, yet it had the absolute dominance characteristic of the Sea of Consciousness!

I waited for a moment within it, finally standing at the roots of the Tree of Wisdom's Enlightenment.

I felt the faint connection that Fool's Dream had with me.

The next moment, a figure, guided by the anchor of the Tree of Wisdom's Enlightenment, directly broke through the Dream State and entered here.

“Big Sis Xiaohan! I'm here.”

“Fool's Luck, I've caught you.”

I also took the small figure into my arms, my eyes filled with surprise.

I hadn't expected Fool's Luck to be the fastest one again this time.

“Big Sis Xiaohan.”

At this time, another figure also appeared.

“Fool's Blue, you're here too.”

“Mhm! Ugh... Fool's Luck was the first again, wasn't she? I still need to work harder...”

“It's okay.”

I also stroked Fool's Blue's little head to comfort her.

“How long... will I last this time...”

“Didn't you notice? None of you have dissipated yet.”

“Eh? Really? It seems so!”

Fool's Luck only reacted belatedly at this moment.

When she usually tried, she was the first to arrive, so she was also the first one whose consciousness would shatter and leave.

“So... Big Sis Xiaohan! Have you succeeded?!”

Fool's Blue also quickly asked.

And at this time, Fool's Fruit, the third to arrive, also came.

Fool's Fruit's talent was only average among the three Fool's Dream I chose.

She always arrived after the first two had shattered, so this was her first time seeing the whole group arrive on time.

“No... the Soul Mimicry attempt didn't succeed, but now, we have a completely new breakthrough point.”
