Is It Weird for a Guy to Apply to a Witch School?
Chapter 1027: Line of Thinking for the Consciousness Gestation Project
“Big Sis Lucine, is that all the research regarding life consciousness?”
I looked at the Witch sister before me.
She was clearly a tall and exquisite "onee-san" with a very pleasant voice, but when she spoke, her tone inexplicably revealed a "kindly" contrast to me.
Age is a major taboo for Witches, so I did not inquire about it.
However, she was a very famous academic Witch present, a seeker walking upon the Great Project of the Soul, and a Transcendent Witch with extremely high achievements in the field of life.
“Are there parts you don't understand? I can explain them to you, Xiao Han. Regarding the field of life consciousness, I can only say I haven't delved deep, but I do have some of my own insights.”
Lucine spoke up in response to my question.
“Understanding is one thing, but I see that among these materials provided by Big Sis Lucine, there don't seem to be detailed materials regarding consciousness gestation. I am more interested in that.”
“Consciousness gestation? This involves many concepts. My study and understanding of life consciousness are mostly for the sake of the field of life research. Regarding the cognition of the concept of consciousness, more Witches categorize it as a derivative concept of the field of life, and many Witches like to use a philosophical perspective to dissect its concept. As for the question of whether consciousness is born through gestation, it mostly still belongs to the stage of conjecture...”
This Big Sis Lucine said a long string of content, as if she had no intention of stopping.
The content in this large paragraph was not very profound; on the contrary, it sounded very simple coming from her mouth.
She even took into account some common sense issues that were easily overlooked.
“Actually, being called over by Mei this time, I've also gradually become interested in the project of life consciousness, especially the concept of a Life Clone, which is also my first time hearing of it. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought you were making up stories to fool me...”
“How could I lie to you, sister? Coming here this time, we just want to solve the problem of the Life Clone.”
“Indeed, consciousness gestation—that's the path you've thought of, right? If it truly succeeds, I think it will be another witness of the unknown.”
Lucine sighed with emotion.
“Big Sis Lucine, is there really no Witch within the Witch species who has researched these things in the field of life consciousness? Even you haven't learned about it?”
I inquired curiously.
And this question was also a place I had always been curious about.
The Void is so vast and the Transcendent races' time spans so long; has there really been no point in time that produced a Transcendent technology explosion?
Or is it that... so-called Transcendent technology likewise requires Transcendent power as a threshold to cognize it, making it very difficult for an explosion of techniques to occur?
“There must be some, but then again, what does that have to do with us? Xiao Han... not all Witches will be like you and make everything public. Or rather, the things you do are exactly the things that violate general common sense.”
Lucine sighed with emotion.
She saw through my confusion.
But others understanding it and oneself understanding it are two different concepts.
Sometimes, understanding is also an insurmountable mountain.
In the field of Transcendence, many things cannot be taught even if one does it hand-in-hand.
“Uh... I didn't expect Big Sis Lucine to have also learned about the things I've done?”
“Of course. When the sisters around me chat, the most talked about topic is Xiao Han.”
Lucine said with a smile, as if she was expecting me to say that.
After confirming that current materials were just these, we also began to work on the main topic.
Whether or not the Witch sisters present were keeping secrets for themselves no longer mattered.
To demand others by one's own standards was indeed unwise in such an occasion.
Inside this huge laboratory specially prepared for the Ancient Glacial Ice.
The Witches who previously accompanied the research on Hexagonal Crystal Amber and the preparation techniques had all left.
To put it realistically, a project like Hexagonal Crystal Amber wasn't even fit to hold the shoes of the project that was the Ancient Glacial Ice consciousness gestation.
Currently, this experiment has been formally named the “Ancient Glacial Ice Consciousness Gestation Experiment.”
According to Academy Head Mei's statement, everything would be dominated by me with my ideas as the core.
As for these Witch sisters on the side who had researched in the field of life and at the level of consciousness, they were merely assistants.
Or even more accurately, they were mostly observers.
She hoped I wouldn't have too much pressure.
As the saying goes, every Witch has her own style.
The differences between styles could even lead to cases where theories were contradictory, yet even so, they could use their own means to achieve similar results.
This was the inclusiveness of Transcendence.
Age only affects the accumulation of knowledge and the superposition of experience, but the older one gets, the more one will be restricted by the shackles of experience.
Once talent takes the stage, even effort must make way.
After completing the preparatory work in the laboratory, I came before the massive Ancient Glacial Ice.
Within the perspective of my Destiny Gazing Technique, the Destiny entwined around the Ancient Glacial Ice had already become increasingly thick.
It was no longer even a superficial display of dominant driving force like pure Destiny threads, but a more pure Destiny, transforming from a guiding external force into an invisible internal driving force.
To put it another way, its existence already resonated with the Main World's will more than a Child of Destiny itself.
If the Ancient Glacial Ice were not currently a Life Clone dominated by my consciousness, then the Ancient Glacial Ice would have already broken out of control by now.
As for how I should proceed next... if one wants to "dispel" a consciousness from a body, the simplest way is to kill it.
But pure killing would result in dissipation along with the life essence.
This was not the development we hoped for.
The world itself cannot inject a new soul into a pure shell to shape life.
The operation of the world has its own framework for world operation, and even the World Consciousness cannot interfere with the rule framework within the world.
To simple describe the birth of life, it roughly involves going through the Earth Vein soul-substance cycle, using the race as a blueprint, plus the instinct for racial reproduction for gestation to give birth to life.
Injecting a new soul and consciousness into a shell is a miracle that can only be written when life sees through the essence of life.
If one compares an entire world to a person, it's like an ordinary person cannot control the flow of blood in their body, cannot control hormone secretion, and cannot control the recovery of ailments within the body.
But a person can accelerate blood circulation through exercise, proactively feel fear to prompt adrenaline secretion, and can also speed up recovery from ailments by taking medicine.
The world is the same.
An invisible big hand is carrying out macro-adjustments within the world every moment, and every adjustment requires paying a price.
Now, facing the Ancient Glacial Ice again.
Wanting to strip the existing Life Clone from my consciousness's domination over it required some external force.
The first thing I thought of was... Wisdom Bestowal.
The Wisdom Bestowal technique was a means with very broad uses.
It could combine consciousness and techniques to shape a Seed of Wisdom, and could also be applied in reverse to achieve the effects of Wisdom Deprivation or Wisdom Wither.
But this was the first time I used this means on "me."
The "consciousness" dominating the life within the Life Clone was essentially a co-linkage of my own consciousness.
After being stripped out, it would still belong to a part of me.
Even destroying it would be no problem; at most, it would only destroy a portion of memories, but those memories had already been shared instantaneously via the Great Knowledge Sharing Technique.
When the Seed of Wisdom was taken out by me, the Ancient Glacial Ice also fell into an eternal slumber.
But its life signs still remained.
Then could this still count as life?
Yes, but it was no longer a complete life.
After I stepped into the field of life research, the understanding of life made me realize that the concept of life is not a "1"; it is an individual composed of countless concepts.
Just like the concepts proposed and overturned time and again within the Interpretation of Life movement, they were all partial interpretations of life.
Even the concepts of soul-substance and soul proposed later were just the "life 'essence'."
Not life itself.
The so-called bloodline information and racial concepts were likewise the same; they were indispensable frameworks that constituted complex life.
Removing these frameworks was not a release of life itself, but a liberation of the composition of life.
“I'll take the liberty to ask, what is... this?”
Seeing such a massive Ancient Glacial Ice collapse down as if in slumber, the group of Witches led by Lucine asked from the side.
Although they knew that asking like this during an experiment would be very presumptuous, curiosity about the unknown would likewise prompt them to pull down their faces to inquire.
“Big Sis Lucine doesn't know? Did Academy Head Mei not tell you?”
I spoke subconsciously.
“Although that fellow Mei is a big talker, regarding this, she indeed has not revealed it to us.”
Lucine shook her head and explained, “That fellow Mei only talked to us about you mastering quite a few techniques that could be called miracles. I presume this is one of them?”
“Yes. This technique is called Wisdom Bestowal, a product woven from consciousness and memory. It was also one of my earliest techniques to touch upon consciousness. At that time, I hadn't even deeply understood the composition of consciousness, but instead upheld the philosophy of discovery, utilization, and domination to weave consciousness and memory into this special creation.”
“Is that so? Truly amazing... presumably when you discovered it back then, you must have been conducting some very deep research?”
“Um, at that time, I was already preliminarily planning the Fool's Dream life experiment, but at that time, the Fool's Dreams only had consciousness and memory. Perhaps it was because of that that I discovered it by chance?”
I said modestly.
But the real situation was far more complex than what I was describing at the moment, and coincidence even occupied a large part of it.
“So that's how it was?”
Many of the Witches present had a more or less certain understanding of that cute thing, the Fool's Dream.
Mentioning this Xiao Han would also more or less mention the Fool's Dream.
That Fool's Dream life experiment, which in Xiao Han's heart was more important than finding the Umbilicus Mundi, had been mentioned by Academy Head Mei who knows how many times already.
Subsequently, they didn't ask further.
Although they felt that even if they kept asking, Xiao Han likely wouldn't hide it from them, they weren't about to get to the bottom of things with a Lesser Witch.
In the final analysis, they themselves couldn't be as candid as Xiao Han.
They were truly afraid that Xiao Han would say everything, in which case... the ones who would end up sweating profusely would be them.
The removal of the Seed of Wisdom was exceptionally smooth.
After properly handling this thing, what remained was the difficult problem I had to face next.
Consciousness gestation.
But I was not without a line of thinking.
Consciousness gestation belonged to a crucial stage that must be completed in my plan, because it concerned the racial concept of the Fool's Dream life experiment.
And for the Ancient Glacial Ice, this was a reverse analysis project.
The problem I was encountering now was a huge, choice-less fill-in-the-blank question.
I wanted to use consciousness as a breakthrough point to structure a racial concept to coordinate with bloodline information and achieve the opening of the life sequence with all Authorities.
But I didn't understand the specific concepts of a racial concept, and the Ancient Glacial Ice was a natural race that had been recognized by me.
I had personally witnessed the scene of the Ancient Glacial Ice life sequence reconnection.
So I needed to use the racial concept within the Ancient Glacial Ice life sequence to reverse cognize the birth of consciousness.
The research of life experiments was like an inferential game where nothing was known.
All conditions needed to be summarized and refined through "observation," "experience," and so on.
Although it seemed like playing a game of stepping on one's own left foot with one's right to fly to heaven, only when implemented into specific concepts would one discover that every node and every key was a fulcrum supporting it.
It was just like after Self-awakened Body Cultivation derived Prototype Self-generating Magic Power, the Self-generating Magic Power talent could exist independently of Self-awakened Body Cultivation.
After changing a foundation and using the Witch racial concept as a fulcrum, the Witches' exclusive Self-generating Magic Power didn't even need Self-awakened Body Cultivation to naturally give birth to Self-generating Magic Power upon advancing to a Transcendent Witch.
Even the Witchification of Self-generating Magic Power could indirectly promote the progress of Body Cultivation.
Transcendent systems share a crisscrossing derivative relationship.
Life sequences are the same.
After stripping away the Seed of Wisdom, the power within the Ancient Glacial Ice's body still persisted.
Or rather, the power of the Grand Spellbook was the foundation of its own existence.
Starting from power, the power to summon fellow clansmen within the Great Snow Throne Spell was borrowing the summoning Authority of the racial concept.
Even if this was not a Primal Authority, it was the root source of reconnecting the life sequence of the Ancient Glacial Ice race.
And the Witches who watched the entire process from the side were also curious about how I was going to do it.
After all, the first step is always the hardest.
Lines of thinking and inspiration are the starting points for the opening of all projects.
Even mastered techniques, power, and knowledge can only become tools for inspiration and thinking.
Looking at this series of my operations, among the group of Witches, only Lucine and several Witches who had participated in the creation of new races saw what I was doing.
I was using the relationship between the Great Snow Throne Spell and the Ancient Glacial Ice race to reverse engineer the mystery of the life sequence!
