I ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍could feel the Shop Manager avoiding me to a certain extent, though the reason for the avoidance wasn't my persistence.

I ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍didn't delve deeper into that matter.

After ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍settling things on this side, there wasn't actually much else to be busy with here.

However, ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍before I was to leave, I had another thing to do.

Planting… ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍a Myriad Connection Main Network Tree.

No matter how heavy a blow the United Club had suffered, since the bitter fruit had already been swallowed, our hold on the Blood Slave Peninsula could absolutely not be released!

And the best way to do that here was to spread out the Power Network and Root Network.

I planted it with my own hands and even finished filming it to post on the Academy Network.

Whoever dared to touch it would invite my retaliation!

My going to the Expansion Realm was giving face to the other Transcendent academies; since they didn't want face and wanted to confront me to the end, I would just flip the table.

“Why did you apologize so properly just now to that person you called Shop Manager?”

Ning walked over and asked about a small doubt she had just now.

“Tracing back to the root, the Academy War cannot be separated from me, and the Shop Manager was the first person to oppose the Academy War back then.”

“It's related to you?”

“Hard to believe?”

“Why?”

“If I said it was to drive out the Transcendent academies along with those races from the Main World entirely, would you believe me?”

“I would.”

“You… are still too naive.”

“Are you lying to me?”

“It's not exactly a lie; that is indeed… one of the reasons.”

“Then what are the other reasons?”

“Wiping out those families in the Main World. Their existence hinders the development of the Main World, preventing all ordinary people from living good lives.”

“But in the end, they are also people of the Main World!”

“……Is that so?”

I looked at Ning, then turned around to look at the buildings in the distance: “Do you see those buildings? Luxurious structures. Then look at those garbage dumps further away; actually, those are the slums, places where only the upper-class among the bottom-tier people can live.”

“In this world, the exploitation by families increases layer by layer. Even without this blood sacrifice ritual, the ordinary people here still lived dismal lives, even needing to sell blood to survive. Every place has its own way of suffering. This is the Blood Slave Academy, so this entire peninsula is full of blood slaves; from the moment they are born, the blood in their bodies has never belonged to them.”

“Is this not ridiculous? A part of one's own body doesn't belong to oneself from birth, and this is even common sense to those on the Blood Slave Peninsula.”

Listening to my words, Ning fell into silence.

And I also broke the silence as if joking: “Perhaps this blood sacrifice counts as a release for many of those struggling on the line between life and death?”

“Does it… count?”

“Of course it doesn't count!”

I looked at Ning's hesitant face and suddenly gave my answer:

“How can this be considered a release? This kind of saying is nothing but psychological comfort we living people give ourselves; what does it have to do with the dead? Any act of life deprivation that does not belong to one's own will will never be a release.”

I didn't wait for Ning to give any answer.

I found that I seemed to have developed an excess desire to express myself in front of Ning.

But so-called growth doesn't happen just because of a few grand principles.

Even if the one I was educating was the Ancient Glacial Ice, it was the same.

I silently watched the Myriad Connection Main Network Tree I had planted.

It was planted in the giant crater at the center of the Blood Slave Academy, which was the very center of the blood sacrifice ritual.

At this moment, the Myriad Connection Main Network Tree had already sprouted; the fertile earth gave it ample nutrients, allowing it to stubbornly sprout a few leaves before me.

“The soil here really is exceptionally fertile…”

“This is the Myriad Connection Main Network Tree?”

“Yes. It is the foundation and source for extending the Power Network and Root Network. The Seed of Great Knowledge I gave you can interface with the Power Network to use extraordinary power, and can also access the Plant Network via the Root Network, or obtain regional permissions of the Root Network.”

“Truly miraculous…”

“It truly is… hmm?”

I had originally intended to chime in, but a sudden message popping up from the Great Tree of Knowledge made me startle.

“What's wrong?”

“Nothing. Academy Head Mei contacted me. She discovered we came over here and wants to learn about the situation from me.”

“Academy Head…”

“Yes. The Academy Head of the Witch Academy is also one of the ones who participated in this consciousness gestation experiment. For the two of us to suddenly come from the Expansion Realm directly to the Core Realm and even run from the Witch Academy to this place—it's still very dangerous if we are discovered by other Transcendents.”

“Then aren't these people dangerous to them?”

“The weight is different. Transcendent non-interference is a hidden rule, while in the eyes of other Transcendents, I am already a thorn in their side. If they have the chance, they will absolutely ignore the constraints of the hidden rule to forcibly kill us.”

“Then it seems we cannot stay here long.”

Ning sighed and said: “Doing so might even involve everyone here. I am very curious; since you understand the situation is so dangerous, you were actually willing to accompany me here and stroll for so long.”

“Because I have confidence that the Academy Head and the others won't let Transcendents come to target us.”

“So confident?”

“Of course I'm confident. But we can't do things that are too out of line either. How about… I take you to Academy Head Mei's office to chat? Our Academy Head Mei attaches great importance to your birth. She personally led a massive team of Witches to assist me in the experiment.”

“It truly is time to meet.”

“So you agree? I thought you would hesitate for a bit.”

I spoke up in surprise.

“There's nothing to hesitate about; it's something that has to be faced eventually. Didn't you already tell me just now what you all actually want to know?”

“You plan to tell us honestly?”

My eyes lit up as I asked.

“I suppose so… but I might have to disappoint you. What I know doesn't seem to be very much, and I can't even describe many things with language. I can't help you too much.”

“It doesn't matter. Just do your best.”

After obtaining such a reply from Ning, this “brief” journey I accompanied her on was considered worth it.

After simply explaining the situation to the few here and stating that I was going back to communicate with the Academy Head.

I returned to the Witch Academy amidst a flurry of exclamations.

“What are they shocked about?”

Ning asked.

“In the Witch Academy, the status of Transcendent Witch mentors is very high, and the Academy Head even more so. But… don't worry too much. Following me, going to Academy Head Mei's office is as simple and relaxed as going home.”

As I comforted her like this, I soon brought Ning to Academy Head Mei's office.

At this moment, Academy Head Mei and the others had already pacified the incident; I wasn't quite clear on how exactly it was operated, but a significant price must have been paid.

Current Academy Head Mei had also returned to her own office.

Furthermore, she had noticed my movements at the first moment when I accompanied Ning to the Core Realm.

“Big Sis Mei I've come over.”

I knocked on the door and then pushed it open to enter.

“Xiao Han, you're finally back.”

Seeing me, Academy Head Mei still sighed habitually, and then her gaze landed on Ning.

At this moment, after meeting Academy Head Mei's gaze, Ning endured immense pressure purely by instinct!

After all, this was the dual suppression originating from bloodline race and life level!

“Big Sis Mei let me introduce you. She is that King of Ancient Glacial Ice; Ning is her current name.”

“Called Ning? It's fine, don't be too restrained.”

Academy Head Mei also stood up to welcome us with a smile, and Ning also instantly felt that invisible pressure dissipate in an instant.

It was as if the big sister before her was very kind and approachable.

“Your look reminds me of Xiao Han back then; when she met me, she was even more restrained than you.”

Academy Head Mei spoke very casually, joking about my previous experience: “Now she has finally opened up a bit.”

Under Academy Head Mei's enthusiasm, Ning was also arranged to sit on the reception sofa on the side.

While I habitually sat in my usual spot.

Academy Head Mei also chatted casually for a few sentences.

“Is Ning used to drinking hot black tea? If it's inconvenient, I can also prepare some cold drinks for you.”

Academy Head Mei toyed with the cups on her coffee table, asking seemingly casually.

“It should be fine.”

“After all, Ning is the Ancient Glacial Ice, but I'm curious about this posture of yours… you modeled your appearance after Xiao Han, right?”

“I suppose so. Our Ancient Glacial Ice race is the incarnation of ice and snow ourselves; snowy white long hair is also a match… thank you.”

Ning accepted a cup of tea pushed over by Academy Head Mei.

Facing the steaming tea, Ning drank it in one gulp.

“Haha Ning is indeed direct. Actually, there's no need to drink tea so fast, especially when it's so hot; it's better to savor it slowly to better feel the charm of the black tea.”

With a wave of Academy Head Mei's hand, the cup Ning had put down slid over, and she filled it up again.

“Tea is for moistening the lips when your mouth gets dry from talking.”

Academy Head Mei spoke this way, pushing the tea over once again.

“If Ning likes drinking other things, I can prepare some cold drinks with good flavors for you.”

Under Academy Head Mei's explanation, Ning also learned to take a light sip.

“No need, tea is fine.”

Ning spoke.

Academy Head Mei also chatted here very casually about some very ordinary topics.

As an Ancient Glacial Ice whose consciousness was born not long ago, the things Ning knew were truly not many, so Academy Head Mei mostly spoke from some casual topics about her.

For instance, the styling of this manifestation, the matter of the Grand Spellbook, and what I took her to do, and so on.

Subsequently, Academy Head Mei shifted her tone:

“Since Xiao Han has already given you some guidance, shall we get straight to the point? How about it?”

“The current situation of the Main World is truly too tense. If nothing unexpected happens, this stir this time is probably the last big stir we can make. Sigh…”

“Has it reached such a point already?”

Hearing Academy Head Mei's phrasing, I also asked in disbelief.

Essentially, those Transcendent races simply didn't have the courage to perish together just to make the Witch race lack one Main World.

“Um, I suppose so. Those Transcendents already know what we're planning, it's just that they don't know our specific movements. But precisely because they know nothing, they are increasingly panicking. They have reached their limit.”

“Regardless of anything, the means to destroy the Main World are ultimately mastered by individuals. Even though those Transcendents are each ten thousand times terrified and disagree with it, once they are determined, the consequences are unimaginable.”

Mei Linde was very clear that their excessive emphasis this time had trampled on the opponent's bottom line.

If that Anti-Witch hadn't muddied the waters, the matter might not have ended so quickly.

Although the end of this matter was also because Xiao Han came out of the Expansion Realm to a certain extent, this likewise exposed the existence of the Ancient Glacial Ice, this “Protector of the world.”

The Protector of the world was special; her appearance could no longer be hidden.

After all, observing the Destiny of the Protector of the world didn't even require such a professional matter as the Destiny Gazing Technique.

It could be said that the existence of the Protector of the world had once again stepped on the opponent's nerves.

That was why Mei Linde said the Witch Academy had no more opportunities for large-scale anomalies.

This was already telling me clearly that I must lie low for a while.

But… I hadn't had any other experiments that would cause a huge stir recently besides the Fool's Dream life experiment.

However, the Fool's Dream life experiment was likewise not something that could be done overnight.

“By the way, Big Sis Mei, I seem to haven't asked you yet, what exactly are the means those Three Great Top-tier Academies master that can destroy the Umbilicus Mundi?”

“Did I not tell you?”

“I only know there is such a deterrent; I really don't know the specifics.”

“That method of destroying the Umbilicus Mundi—those Wizards call it the ‘World-Destroying Staff Plan’.”

“World-Destroying Staff? What big talk. How exactly is this plan implemented?”

I continued to inquire.

After I finished asking, Academy Head Mei shook her head in silence, and finally sighed before speaking: “I don't know. The specific content is not clear at all.”

“You don't know?!”

“Yes. Even the code name World-Destroying Staff Plan was news obtained during the Great Snow Throne Plan back then, and we also verified that the other party indeed has the possibility of piercing through the Main World's Umbilicus Mundi. We cannot gamble.”

“It's not strange, Xiao Han. It's normal for the opponent to guard strictly. If we knew the specific steps of this plan, then we could think of countless ways to target this plan through various links. So if they want to maintain the deterrence, they must ensure that not even a single bit of specific content is leaked out.”

“Has it reached such a point already?”

I looked at Academy Head Mei, then looked at Ning, “Just a short while ago, Ning revealed a description to me. I feel this description seems related to this so-called World-Destroying Staff Plan, but it's too abstract. I could only interpret a portion of the information.”

“A description? Can you talk about it?”

Hearing my statement, Mei Linde's eyes instantly lit up!

Sure enough, there was still good news from this experiment.

At least this confrontation was worth it.
