“The ‍​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍World-Destroying Staff Plan is essentially a deterrence plan led by the Wizards, and the execution consists of only three links. The Wizards use this—the Spiral Geocentric Observation Tower, if the interpretation is correct, that is what the Wizards call it. The Wizards use this to observe the Main World’s Umbilicus Mundi.”

“The ‍​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍specific principles are unknown. The derivative analysis seems to point toward the Transcendent invasion war a thousand years ago. Only under the Wizards' coordinated observation can the Aphrodite Forest Elves rely on the World Tree to briefly capture the Umbilicus Mundi.”

“As ‍​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍for the power to sever the Umbilicus Mundi...”

I ‍​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍said this while opening the world map of the Main World’s Core Realm.

I ‍​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍finally understood why the Holy Angel Academy bordered the Aphrodite Forest Elves.

“It is the Main World people’s faith in the Holy Light. This action also matches what Ning described: being killed by a sword held in one’s own hand.”

I then clicked on the locations of the Holy Light Churches across the Main World.

Immediately, densely packed markers occupied the entire Core Realm!

Only a single patch was left empty over at the Blood Slave Peninsula.

Because an indiscriminate blood sacrifice massacre had just taken place there.

The truth seemed incredibly simple to the point of being unbelievable, yet it also explained many of the layouts of the Three Great Top-tier Academies.

The Aphrodite Forest Elves accepted so many races of the elf genus, using the World Tree branch plants of those elves as anchors to pave the way for the Aphrodite World Tree branch plant.

If the Sun Rock Elf Academy hadn't been destroyed so quickly, the Aphrodite Academy would probably have been jumping with rage and cursing!

Actually, one could see from that conversation with the Transcendent Elves back then just to what extent these small elven races were oppressed in the Main World.

I had merely retorted with a few sentences, and the other party had taken the opportunity to leave, even leaving their World Tree branch plant behind.

This in itself was very abnormal.

As for the Holy Angels... they were obsessed with proselytizing and establishing Holy Light Churches, and no one had discovered anything abnormal from this.

However, from what was currently understood, the Holy Angel Academy was composed of a fixed academy address and Holy Light flying islands floating in the sky.

According to rumors, the Holy Light floating islands carried the power source of all Holy Angels, gathering the faith of the world.

I pulled up the general architectural composition of the Holy Angel Academy, including those floating islands.

When we saw those individual floating islands guarding that most central massive island, and that massive island presented a posture representing a giant sword of judgment...

Its purpose was as clear as day.

“This matter is too important...”

After understanding the details of these plans, Academy Head Mei understood just how vital this matter was.

She didn't even dare to use this to convene an academy-wide meeting, for fear that it would be leaked.

But even with the plan merely being revealed, Mei had already thought of many counter-measures.

However, certain details and the method of execution still required careful discussion.

“Speaking of which... the trade between me and the Main World was for the location of the Umbilicus Mundi, right? This seems to be merely a plan.”

But I understood very well that this was already the entirety of the content within Ning’s mind.

“Regardless, under the current situation, the Main World Consciousness probably doesn't dare to make too much noise. This is roughly the situation the Main World is facing, but it is enough for us.”

“True. It’s that I was too fixated on the trade.”

I spoke to explain.

This was inherently an unequal trade.

Even if the Main World jumped out of the pit of the Three Great Top-tier Transcendents, it would only fall into the clutches of the Witches.

Except that right now, if It didn't break free from the three great Transcendent races, It would truly die!

Whatever happened after falling into the hands of the Witches didn't matter; at least the Witch race had promised they would develop the Main World, and they had the World Repair Technique as a safety net.

If It didn't take a gamble now, there really would be no more chance.

“So does Big Sis Mei intend to hold a meeting to discuss this and plan a feasible scheme?”

I continued to ask.

“No, not this time.”

Academy Head Mei shook her head and denied my statement.

“A meeting cannot be held blindly. If even a tiny bit of this matter is leaked, it will cause very serious consequences.”

“Within the Witch Academy... there are...”

“I’m not sure. After all... a traitorous Anti-Witch won't write those words on their face.”

Hearing my statement, Academy Head Mei sighed but still said it directly.

“Just as I said, a place too peaceful for retirement will always produce some Witches with brain problems.”

Cheryl spoke with a laugh, as if it were a casual remark.

“Perhaps...”

Only when facing this problem that she had to face was she unable to refute the words of the Anti-Witch before her.

“So you plan to go there?”

“There?”

I looked at Cheryl curiously, not knowing where she was talking about.

“Does Xiao Han not know?”

“Should I know?”

“Oh oh?”

Cheryl looked at Mei Linde with a faint smile, as if saying: I told you that you should have taken Xiao Han there once.

“It is the Court of World Forging, a vast dungeon world. It gathers many existences, great Witches whom even I must address as Seniors. That Academy Head Serina Palitzer you know is one of them, and she is considered part of the relatively younger generation in there.”

“But she doesn't even rank.”

At this time, Cheryl also interjected.

“The... the Academy actually has such a foundation?”

I didn't pay attention to the phrase "doesn't even rank" from this Anti-Witch, but instead stared with wide eyes at the Academy Head in disbelief.

Witches who could be called Seniors by Academy Head Mei—such existences were a living foundation just by being there!

This was a treasure more precious than pure resources, knowledge, books, and such.

“Then... do any Truth Witches exist among those Seniors?”

I asked carefully.

“Pfft Haha!”

Following my question, Cheryl was the first to be unable to hold it in.

“How could that be? Truth Witches won't be stationed in the Main World to become the foundation for future development. They are forever pioneering at the forefront of our unknown domains.”

Academy Head Mei Linde’s face darkened as she said: “Moreover, if an existence like a Truth Witch came here even once, the Main World wouldn't have so many troubles.”

“Oh, oh!”

I nodded hurriedly, indicating I had spoken out of turn.

After all, my understanding of the Witch race was roughly limited to ordinary Transcendent Witches, Lesser Witches, and then Truth Witches and Primal Witches.

But with the racial characteristic of the Witches' eternal lifespan, Witches who had existed for such a long time like that would also be the firmest foundation of the Witch race.

“So don't be too ambitious, Xiao Han. Regardless of anything, respect for Seniors must be placed first.”

After saying that, Mei Linde even glared at Cheryl.

“I understand.”

With some simple introductions, Academy Head Mei was already somewhat impatient to head over.

Her intention was to take me along, and even Ning, who had no relation to the Witch race at all, would go together.

After all, the implications were massive. If possible, it was best not to let more Witches know.

Because no one knew if this matter would be chatted about as gossip.

Even if not spoken of, even a boastful hint could potentially leak important content.

They could no longer provoke those Transcendent races.

Academy Head Mei had confirmed that after this temporary entry into the Court of World Forging, the Witch Academy would internally announce the failure of the experiment.

The Destiny Gazing Technique project would be transferred to the Core Realm and sealed.

This experiment would have only one product, and that was... the King of Ancient Glacial Ice, this Protector of the world.

Doing this would undoubtedly cause many Witches to feel disappointment and frustration.

After all, everyone had looked full of confidence while doing this.

But the Witch Academy had failed many times before; it wouldn't hurt to add one more.

Moreover, this matter wasn't completely unmentionable.

At the very least, Witches who were completely trustworthy could know.

For example... Bai Yu.

On the way there, Academy Head Mei also told me a lot of things to watch out for, which was basically the so-called simple introduction.

“In the Court of World Forging, the Seniors inside are very casual. Not everyone is seen every time you go there.”

“What needs to be noted is that among these Seniors, there exist Seniors whom they also refer to as ‘Elders.’ Such Elders are divided into two titles within the Court of World Forging.”

“For example, the Witch Senior we honor as the First Forging Elder is a transcendent existence representing the strongest combat power and techniques. ‘First Forging’ is just a code name; a name has no meaning for a Witch like that anymore. Besides her, there are the Second Forging Elder and Third Forging Elder. They are all representatives of the peak of combat power and techniques, only their specialized fields of technique are different, such as casting or alchemy—and alchemy has many branches.”

“The other title is World Elder. They represent academic research and knowledge accumulation, and are the most highly respected academic Witches.”

“So that is the origin of the Court of World Forging. Xiao Han, when you go in, don't go calling them ‘Big Sister’ left and right. Although they indeed all look very young, their mindsets are different. In the Academy, the vast majority of Witches might like being called that, but for Elders and Seniors, with that shift and accumulation in mindset, such cleverness would backfire.”

“I understand!”

I nodded hurriedly, indicating I knew.

If it hadn't been for Academy Head Mei’s teaching, I might have called anyone I met there ‘Big Sister’...

I felt that if I really called them that, the seniority would probably become a mess, though Witches likely wouldn't mention seniority among themselves anyway.

After all, once lifespans were stretched out, that so-called seniority was truly impossible to distinguish!

Witches with an age gap of thousands or tens of thousands of years might spark the flames of love, so if seniority were really mentioned... hehe.

But if it reached the level of seniority, then it wasn't just as simple as seniority anymore; it also represented one's contributions, achievements, and accumulation, etc.

Only those who were widely recognized and respected by Witches could make Witches willing to call them Senior or Elder.

As we followed Academy Head Mei to a place I had never been before, I knew that another unknown side of the Witch Academy was unveiling its veil for me.

This was a very hidden place where many dungeon cores were placed, and the core representing the “Court of World Forging” was at the deepest part.

As the door was opened for us.

In the instant of entering, I felt a sensation completely different from the dungeon world I mastered.

It was as if this world were more “vibrant”!

Subsequently, I felt many streams of mental power sweep across this place, which vanished without a trace in just an instant, as if they were an illusion.

“This is the Court of World Forging?”

I felt the natural aura here; there was even a distinct fragrance in the air.

“Yes, this is the Court of World Forging.”

Academy Head Mei led me forward, giving me a simple introduction along the way, until at the end of this short journey, a figure appeared.

She was so easily overlooked that it wasn't until we drew close and saw that sea of flowers presented before us that this figure suddenly appeared in our cognition.

“It... it’s the First World Elder!”

Mei Linde’s eyes widened, and she suddenly felt it was incredible!

Under normal circumstances, the First Forging Elder and the First World Elder would not show their faces.

Even as the Academy Head, she had only seen these Elders a few times.

The last time she accompanied Cheryl here, they had seen the Third Forging Elder.

“Little Mei has come again, and brought along several interesting little guests.”

The First World Elder herself did not possess the kind of pressure Academy Head Mei had spoken of.

She seemed just like a plain neighborly sister, and even carried a strange sense of affinity.

“Hello, First World Elder.”

I also hurriedly offered a greeting.

Not just me; even the Anti-Witch Cheryl beside me reined in her previous flippancy.

“If I remember correctly, you are called Xiao Han, right? Recently I have also frequently heard of some of your deeds. This time Little Mei was finally willing to bring you over.”

The First World Elder gave a light wave, gesturing for us to follow.

In her words, it was as if this Academy Head had already been brought down to the same generation as me...

However, soon, a different kind of scenery entered my sight within this sea of flowers.

And Academy Head Mei also took this opportunity to narrate the main reason for this sudden intrusion.

“First World Elder, I have mainly come this time to inform you of the specific content of the World-Destroying Staff Plan. The implications of this matter are massive.”

“That matter?”

The First World Elder clearly took it seriously upon hearing of the World-Destroying Staff Plan, but it had not reached the level of being extremely serious.

“Communicate with First Forging in detail about this matter first. My purpose for coming this time is primarily to meet Xiao Han. I assume you don't mind if I borrow Xiao Han from your side for a while? Just to invite Xiao Han for a cup of tea, a chat, and such.”

“That, I naturally have no problem...”

“Then what about you, Xiao Han?”

The First World Elder took over the conversation and looked at me.

“Me? Of course I’m willing!”

I nodded hurriedly.

It seemed this First World Elder placed more importance on me than on that so-called World-Destroying Staff Plan.
