Lucianne ‍​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍stood up hurriedly.

Although ‍​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍she had already heard that she was to join forces with Tan Han and the others, when truly facing them now, she felt somewhat unable to face them.

As ‍​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍students of the same batch, the relationship between her and Tan Han was clear to many people, but as Tan Han’s fame and strength reached their peak within the academy, her own situation appeared exceptionally awkward.

“Since ‍​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍we are all friends who know each other, then I shall not make too many introductions. How about we get straight to the point?”

Xing ‍​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍Anlei, acting as the Vice President receiving them here, also spoke up.

She naturally saw the abnormality in Lucianne’s emotions at this moment and intended to guide the topic toward proper business.

“Naturally.”

Tan Han did not want to waste too much breath with them either.

Her coming here this time was primarily to piggyback on a wave of intelligence, plus obtain some professional exploration equipment.

She did not care what the other party thought; even if the other party turned their faces the moment they entered the secret realm, it would be fine.

What she was after was merely the fragments on those people.

***

Meanwhile.

While the students focused their energy on the Ice Throne Secret Realm, the Transcendent Witches also had their own daily routines.

Namely, the so-called large-scale academic tea party.

However, since the words “tea party” were added, it represented that this was not a very serious type of meeting.

Furthermore, witches did not like that kind of serious atmosphere.

Actually, before this meeting began, there were already witches who could not hold back their desire to share and had leaked the related concepts concerning “Dream-state Soul-substance.”

After all, this was not content the Academy Head forbade from being spoken.

It had just been announced not long ago that the Witch Academy had a major breakthrough regarding the Primal Dream State.

Now, the discovery of Dream-state Soul-substance was a very normal operation, wasn’t it?

The expansion of a brand-new field would cause a brand-new vitality to erupt within that field in a short time; this was a truth verified by past history.

It was just that the interval this time was a tiny bit faster.

“……This is the result of our team during this period. The theory hasn’t had time to be verified yet, but we have already completed the experiments for this nested-type spell ritual. Those interested can help us perform theoretical verification; send it to my Primal Dream State account then, and our team’s paper acknowledgments will mention your name……”

The witch situated at the visual focus of the tea party waved her hand to disperse the spell architecture before her that was so complex it made one’s eyes reel.

As for the script she was originally supposed to read from, it had completely become trash at her feet.

This was the style of witches.

Once they spoke to their heart’s content, what script?

My words are the yardstick!

Was a witch tea party not exactly such a place to speak freely?

Witches with different opinions could directly stand up to voice their viewpoints or refute others’ conjectures.

Everyone would even vacate some space to give them room to resolve things with martial force.

Everyone seated was a witch mastering Transcendent power and could perform experiments.

Who liked to go calculate those theoretical verifications?

Realize the idea in reality, then you have everything.

Shoot the arrow first, then draw the target.

Practice is the best method to ensure theory does not deviate.

If I produce the results through practice and you cannot derive it theoretically, then it is your theoretical framework that has a problem, not me, this witch.

However, in today’s tea party, the witches who came up to display their own results or their team’s results were clearly not very interested.

Because……

“Our team’s display ends here. I won’t waste more breath; I know what today’s main event is. Come! Begin your performance.”

This witch walked down very heroically, subsequently pointing toward that group of witches who were faintly becoming the central area within the tea party.

In the next moment, the original central vacancy was filled, and another tea table there became the center of the tea party!

And this group of witches was precisely the temporary group led by Doreen and Aina.

They were also old acquaintances in the research field of the Primal Dream State.

Although they were all witches researching this aspect of the Primal Dream State, the research topics and projects were all different.

Their coming this time was merely to display and prove that “Dream-state Soul-substance” had been discovered and could possibly be purified and extracted.

“Ahem… first time receiving such treatment.”

Doreen instinctively gave a light cough.

She was very clear on why the rhythm of this tea party suddenly became so light and fast.

This was natural because they brought something heavyweight!

One must know that witches usually research for a long time without necessarily having any harvest, and the frequency of these tea parties being held was also relatively high, so everyone usually spoke on the progress of their own projects or discussed problems encountered.

Now that rumors suddenly spread that some witches had pulled off something big for this tea party, many witches naturally didn't need to go up and make a fool of themselves.

Of course, there would also be some who proactively stepped forward to warm up the stage; the witch representing the team just now was exactly like that.

“Bring out the goods.”

Doreen spoke to the several witches beside her, and subsequently, she saw them take out a very special alchemical item.

And this alchemical item was the instrument used to create dream overlap.

After all… not all Transcendent Witches mastered special domains that could resonate with the Primal Dream State, allowing a secondary overlap phenomenon to occur between the dream and reality that originally had no intersection.

“First, let me explain to everyone. The Dream-state Soul-substance we are about to display next is a special element situated within the Primal Dream State.”

After all, soul-substance was called one of the world’s three source elements in reality, so calling Dream-state Soul-substance a special element within the Primal Dream State was perfectly fine.

“The appearance of Dream-state Soul-substance perfectly resolves the question of where the soul-substance eaten by the Primal Dream State goes, while simultaneously puncturing that ridiculous conjecture of the Void Dream Silence……”

The Void Dream Silence conjecture was a claim proposed by some fellows in the Void whose brains didn't function very well; it was a currently un-disprovable Void end-of-the-world theory.

The general meaning was that because the Primal Dream State constantly devoured soul-substance and there was no effective evidence to prove a soul-substance balance between the Primal Dream State and reality, the ultimate end of the Void would be the silence and death of all life.

Furthermore, this claim was divided into many branches, which could be described as diverse.

Although there were also claims mentioning that Earth Veins existed within the Primal Dream State and that soul-substance in reality and the dream relied on Earth Veins to achieve balance, this claim could not be directly verified by anyone and was naturally not accepted by those fellows.

“Next, we need to spread out a dream overlap region here. Under this state, the Dream-state Soul-substance can be displayed……”

“Question! Right now there is no dream overlap. How do you preserve the Dream-state Soul-substance, or rather, how do you carry it?”

At this moment, a blunt and outspoken witch actually spoke up to ask.

And this was also the question other witches were curious about.

“Soul Dream State. The Soul Dream State blessed as a derivative of the Great Project of the Soul can retain Dream-state Soul-substance.”

Doreen spoke up very directly.

“Oh.”

Hearing such a simple answer, many witches’ eyes lit up!

If Dream-state Soul-substance could exist within a Soul Dream State, then after Dream-state Soul-substance was developed and utilized later, the Soul Dream State would be the best “storage space” carried with this technique!

“Then in that case, we can actually see this Dream-state Soul-substance within the Primal Dream State as well, huh?”

At this moment, a witch suddenly spoke up to ask.

“Right, it should theoretically be possible within the Primal Dream State too, right? Then doesn't that mean the Primal Dream State can ignore Void distance to complete remote transactions of Dream-state Soul-substance?”

For a time, many witches directly let their thoughts run wild!

Some sky-high fantasies were spoken without any regard for consequences.

Even some conceptions of using Dream-state Soul-substance as a transaction currency appeared.

But… this wasn't among the particularly ridiculous types.

After all, the world’s three source elements were originally hard currency within the Void, so theoretically, Dream-state Soul-substance within the Primal Dream State could also be so.

And now, only a value system needed to be built with Dream-state Soul-substance, and then it could become an equivalent for currency transactions across the Void within the Primal Dream State!

Of course these were merely conceptions from a flash of inspiration, impractical and disregarding of consequences.

They didn't even know the characteristics of Dream-state Soul-substance yet; anyone could naturally think blindly.

“We haven’t tried taking it out within the Primal Dream State, primarily because… there is no interface channel with the Primal Dream State, so how would you take it?”

Doreen shook her head, giving a negative response to the thought of seeing Dream-state Soul-substance within the Primal Dream State.

At least they couldn't achieve it right now.

After all, the Primal Dream State was a piece of the Primal Dream State refined by Lord Primal Witch; there was absolute order inside, so it was naturally impossible to do whatever one wanted.

If the Primal Dream State had no order, how could it withstand so many Transcendent Witches tossing things about inside?

If anyone could just cause trouble at will, then dream creature tides would break out every day within the Primal Dream State, leaving no peace.

One of the most basic functions of the Primal Dream State was to filter those dream creatures to prevent these fellows from destroying the order within the Primal Dream State.

At this moment, within the tea party hall, a special fluctuation suddenly covered the entire area.

All the witches knew that a dream overlap had been completed.

“Alright, the scene setup is complete. Now it’s time to show you the real Dream-state Soul-substance!”

Accompanying Doreen’s voice echoing across the tea party, all the witches focused their attention intensely on her every movement.

Until Doreen took out a small mass of very special element within the opened Soul Dream State, all the witches instinctively held their breath, looking as if they feared even breathing would blow that small mass of Dream-state Soul-substance away.

“Alright you can breathe now. You are separated from this mass of Dream-state Soul-substance by the barrier between reality and the dream, and furthermore, this mass of Dream-state Soul-substance has been encapsulated by a special technique. It counts as a specimen for collection and won’t be damaged easily.”

With Doreen saying this, many witches instinctively breathed in fresh air.

“Currently, the Primal Dream State laboratory has successfully practiced a special purification method, a technique to refine Nightmares into Dream-state Soul-substance. There are a total of 27 methods still awaiting verification. Unfortunately, however, there is not yet a definite large-scale preparation technique, so the output is extremely scarce……”

“May I ask which witch senior led this experiment?”

“I am very sorry. This matter is still in the confidential stage. Being able to take this opportunity to display this Dream-state Soul-substance to everyone is already the limit of what we can do……”

Doreen did not answer this witch’s question.

Because… she recalled what Academy Head Mei said when she sought them out not long ago.

Even now, her heart felt great sentiment.

She could understand the Academy Head’s protection of Little Han.

It wasn't to say she didn't trust any witch, but rather that she didn't want to let Little Han completely become a target for the hit lists of those Transcendent academies during this sensitive stage.

“Ha? Is there still something that cannot be said?”

Many witches actually didn't quite understand this.

Among witches, there were none who were cowardly.

Especially this kind of leading witch who could lead the opening of a brand-new field—they should be afraid of nothing!

“The matter is much more complex than you think. But this matter will be announced sooner or later… mhm, it won’t be long.”

Doreen estimated Little Han’s situation, believing it wouldn't be long—at most a few years—until she advanced to Transcendent.

She believed that at that time, there would be no need for many things to be so secretive like this.

This tea party continued still.

Although not every witch achieved something in fields like the Primal Dream State and so on, the Great Project of the Soul was closely related to every single witch.

If there were some new technical breakthroughs regarding Dream-state Soul-substance, as fellow Main World witches, they would naturally be the first batch to benefit!

Perhaps they could even become the first batch to witness the birth of dream life?

After all, soul-substance was already here, so the distance to so-called life was actually not far, was it?

And while the content of this academic tea party was at its climax, I, over at the laboratory, was still nearly overwhelmed with work.

Because during these days, Fool's Luck had encountered a problem.

While the four little Fool’s Dreams and I were preparing Dream-state Soul-substance, we were also conducting the great project of constructing the Fool’s Dream racial framework.

Furthermore, we were steadily advancing the perfection of the “Life Evolution” technique.

Fool's Luck would fall into a “coma” from time to time.

And this was not an ordinary coma.

Nor was it a deep sleep; at the very least, I could not find evidence of Fool's Luck’s consciousness sleeping in the deeper layers of the Primal Dream State.

Since this was not a deep sleep, yet objectively Fool's Luck was in a coma, then a very realistic problem appeared: exactly what was Fool's Luck’s consciousness experiencing?

During Fool's Luck’s intermittent periods of being awake, I had also asked, but… Fool's Luck was also unable to describe exactly what kind of state that was.

It seemingly had already exceeded the category that a Fool’s Dream could understand and describe.

However, what Fool's Luck said revealed a piece of good news that wasn't exactly a piece of good news, which was that at least Fool's Luck wouldn't have any problems in the short term.

“Speaking of which…… could this be related to the process of becoming a true life?”

I rummaged through my Great Tree of Knowledge, but the relevant knowledge regarding life creation was only that little bit, and there was no content recording these matters inside.

But while rummaging, I recalled the content I had chatted about with the Academy Head back then.

Life… exists because it is recognized by the Void.

So… if one understands the concept of life as a “sequence,” it becomes much simpler.

Only when a type of existence stays close to the concept of this sequence will it be recognized as life.

It is just that some lives are sequences that already exist, while some are sequences not yet opened within the Void……

Converting it this way, it seemed many concepts were easy to understand.

Exactly what concept within the Void would constantly nurture life and recognize life?

Without a doubt…… a world!

Then if a brand-new life truly is created within the Main World, there is a high probability that it will touch upon the World Consciousness, right?

Wait…… creating a brand-new life, and using this to obtain the possibility of communicating with the World Consciousness—could this also be one of the Academy Head’s underlying plans?

Thinking here, I suddenly realized I might need to go find the Academy Head to ask and clarify things.
