***

Destiny Gazing Technique Special Key Experimental Area.

This was the first time Mei Linde saw the process of Little Han creating a Grand Spellbook.

The Great Tree of Knowledge happened in a small world back then, shown off by Bev Ailana, and now... she finally witnessed it once too.

Although this time it was an achievement standing on the shoulders of those witch predecessors, this still couldn't hide Little Han's talent.

Moreover, this was created by Little Han in the form of an avatar!

"Oh my What a memorable scene. I really wish I could see it on the spot."

Mei Linde sighed with emotion watching the scene at this moment, then looked at the figure beside her as if this matter had nothing to do with her.

"Little Han, I remember you repeatedly rejected the Grand Spellbook Great Snow Throne Spell before, but now you created it with your own hands... Why changed your mind?"

"It didn't belong to me in the first place."

I shrugged and said from the side.

"Really? According to the basic concept of Life Avatar you described to me, that King of Ancient Glacial Ice is you, and the Ancient Glacial Ice race turned into power as a whole, so it should be a part of you."

Mei Linde asked somewhat puzzledly.

"Does Big Sis Mei know what death and inheritance of life are?"

I asked Academy Head Mei with a smile.

At the very beginning, I didn't think of this point, but... after a transaction with the World Consciousness, my understanding of life went a step further.

"What do you mean?"

"Life dies, and new life is born with consciousness in the old shell, inheriting everything originally, but it is no longer it."

I said to myself.

These statements were a bit convoluted, but referring to Ling Yi's friend in the Dungeon World.

The dead shell radiated vitality, nurturing new consciousness, inheriting everything originally.

"Life Avatars can be inherited by new lives, as long as I am willing to do so."

"Then... is such an avatar still you afterwards?"

"She is no longer an extension of my will, just a brand new life inheriting everything from this avatar. For such a life, the most important thing she needs to do is to step out of everything of mine, including the prison of memory, and recognize herself."

"Hearing you say this feels... very dangerous."

Hearing my words, Mei Linde instantly thought of too many accidents.

"Generally speaking, I wouldn't do this. Creating a brand new life not of my consciousness so irresponsibly doesn't conform to my concept to a certain extent. Even if I really want to do it, I will erase the memory belonging to me."

I explained.

A brand new life not of my consciousness is like a newborn child, while a Life Avatar derived from my will is more about being responsible for myself.

Death and abandonment are a game and choice of self, but this concept is not suitable to be imposed on a child unrelated to me.

"Although you say so, you still want to do this kind of thing to this Ancient Glacial Ice, right?"

Mei Linde reminded.

"Yes, but this is a transaction."

I turned around and faced Academy Head Mei Linde directly and said.

"Transaction?"

Mei Linde also became serious, especially after seeing my expression change.

She knew very well that on some important occasions, I wouldn't joke.

"Mn, Big Sis Mei should have seen what I did in the Secret Realm, right? For a period of time, that is, after making the Ancient Glacial Ice a real life, I was in a peculiar state."

"Mn, I remember this."

Academy Head Mei nodded.

She remembered this period very clearly because when the Destiny Gazing Technique project was conducting observation tasks, this move of Little Han matched a certain abnormal observation data time point to a certain extent.

"What did you do during that time period?"

"During that time period, after connecting the Sequence of Life of the Ancient Glacial Ice, I received an invitation from the Main World Consciousness."

I said.

After all, letting the Ancient Glacial Ice become my avatar under the promotion of the script was an invitation letter, and everything afterwards was a test of my basic abilities.

Although this test was not worth mentioning for me.

"Invitation from the Main World Consciousness?"

Mei Linde frowned again.

She had never experienced such a thing.

She had invaded some small worlds in the Void when she was young and witnessed the embodiment of World Wills, but she had never been "invited".

Mei Linde continued to ask, quickly recalling that time Little Han encountered in Ninglan New City:

"How was the invitation? Was it like the Seed of Destiny back then, a voice echoing directly in your ear?"

"No, it was the talent Spirit Vision, this gift endowed to us by the Main World as a medium. At that time, my Spirit Vision level crossed the boundary of Floating World level under guidance, ascended to True World, and 'saw' the Main World Consciousness at that level."

Even recalling it now, such a deep-level True World only had an extreme Spirit Vision.

That contact was like a mime.

The perception of the other four senses all originated from the synesthesia and imagination endowed by Spirit Vision.

"True World!"

Hearing this concept, Mei Linde almost lost her composure on the spot!

That is the theoretical highest level of Spirit Vision!

"Temporary. The level of True World is simply too grand for me. In my estimation, I need to at least cross Transcendent to be qualified to control this ability."

After all, for now, I still need to improve my soul level to thoroughly adapt to Floating World level Spirit Vision.

One level higher would be a burden for me.

"So... what kind of scene did you witness at that level?"

Mei Linde asked with some expectation.

After all, vision is the most intuitive perception channel among the five senses of life.

That is a level she might never touch.

After all... didn't she see that the Destiny Gazing Technique project established with Floating World level Spirit Vision as a template required so many witches to cooperate together?

She simply couldn't imagine what kind of visual impact the True World level would be!

"How to describe it? It's like everything returned to the beginning, returning from the level of 'seeing mountains not as mountains, seeing water not as water' to the realm of 'seeing mountains as mountains, water still as water', right?"

I described half recalling, half associating.

"Is that so? Alright..."

Mei Linde could only speak seemingly indifferently.

Sure enough, this description could never replace personal experience.

In her view, Little Han having this description at least showed she had that self-understanding as an anchor.

"Seems asking was in vain. Or... let's return to the topic just now. Transaction, what transaction did you make?"

Mei Linde returned to the main topic and asked.

She could already foresee that Little Han's so-called transaction should be a transaction with the World Consciousness, and one party most likely used the Ancient Glacial Ice as a bargaining chip.

After all, the Ancient Glacial Ice is the power of the Great Snow Throne Spell itself.

This power is deeply associated with Destiny, not something Wizards can sever just by taking it out of the Main World as they thought.

However, if Wizards really want to sever this connection, it's not very difficult.

To maintain the Equivalent Exchange Rule, the fairness of this transaction can be confirmed.

"Actually, at the very beginning, I didn't think this was a transaction. At first, it started with me asking questions between me and the World Consciousness. This transaction originated from the last question I asked... I asked Him: Where is the Umbilicus Mundi."

"You asked this?!"

Mei Linde widened her eyes again, even stuttering in her next words: "Re... result? Did It respond?"

"No."

I shook my head and said.

"As expected?"

Getting this answer, Mei Linde still sighed.

The Umbilicus Mundi is completely like a lifeline for the World Consciousness.

Could It tell others just like that?

"Did Big Sis Mei forget; this is an equal and fair transaction. I asked a question, but this is no longer a free question, so He proposed this transaction. He wants me to set the Ancient Glacial Ice race... free. The Ancient Glacial Ice will become a role like the Mandate Guardian of the Main World next. Big Sis Mei, what does the concept of Mandate Guardian mean?"

"Mandate Guardian..."

Mei Linde recalled this concept.

She indeed knew of such existence, or rather Transcendents who had invaded other worlds had more or less contacted it, "Mandate Guardians generally take guarding their own world as their duty and almost never leave the native world."

"Similarly, they are almost all the combat power ceiling of that world, existence guarding the Mandate Race, resisting strong enemies from outside the world, and also taking into account maintaining the world script, guiding the operation of Destiny, dredging large world Earth Vein stagnation events, and other responsibilities."

"Mandate Guardian is probably such an existence."

"So that's how it is."

I nodded, very similar to my guess, but these responsibilities are a bit many, simply a model worker harder than the Child of Destiny, the world's wage earner!

To use an analogy, if the Child of Destiny is the little princess of a world, then the Mandate Guardian is the bodyguard cum full-time butler.

"So you exchanged the Ancient Glacial Ice race for the location of the Umbilicus Mundi? The value in this is completely unequal."

Mei Linde asked.

This is equivalent to a person critically ill in bed asking for a bodyguard who hasn't grown up yet, and then telling the other party the location of the power switch of the ventilator related to their own lifeline.

How is this possible?

"Naturally not."

I hurriedly shook my head, "When making the transaction, the Main World Consciousness also required me—here 'I' represents the entire Witch Race—not to destroy the Umbilicus Mundi directly or indirectly in any form, and also required the Witch Race to repair the Main World with World Repair Technique."

"You agreed?"

Academy Head Mei asked, "This condition is too excessive. Even if the Main World Consciousness doesn't give it, we can find the Umbilicus Mundi ourselves. Although this will consume a lot of time to plan, witches never lack time."

"I didn't agree. This is simply treating us like wage earners."

I shook my head and said, "So the Main World Consciousness took a step back. She hopes to obtain a cooperative relationship established on the premise of not harming the Umbilicus Mundi, and the specific content and cooperation direction will depend on the situation."

"This proposal..."

Mei Linde fell into contemplation after hearing it.

"This step of the Main World, I feel retreated very largely."

I said: "Depending on the situation, this means when the witch's power is strong to a certain extent, the Main World chooses to actively attach. This is very sensible. At least He recognizes the situation clearly. Driving away the threats of those few Transcendent races, the Main World is still ruled by witches. The Main World itself only keeps the basic bottom line. I think the Witch Academy shouldn't do things like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs and overdrawing the foundation of the Main World, right?"

"Listening like this, it is indeed a tempting transaction."

Mei Linde commented on this.

Not touching the bottom line of the Main World, the Witch Race can do whatever they want.

This is almost no restraint.

Hearing such a concession, Mei Linde could also guess why, because the Main World had no choice.

He couldn't choose those three major Transcendent races.

Those guys could threaten Him with His Umbilicus Mundi anytime, wanting to destroy Him.

And the witch is His only hope, especially when the witch displayed the Main World repair technique.

And the reason why the Main World Consciousness let the Umbilicus Mundi be handed over to the witch is that the witch needs to use the Umbilicus Mundi to repair the Main World.

The current Expansion Realm is not yet a complete Expansion Realm, but witches can no longer continue repairs.

Lacking the cooperation of the Umbilicus Mundi, witches could only rely on that Earth Vein fracture in Ninglan New City as an anchor for partial repair.

It can be considered giving the Main World a taste of sweetness.

"Since it's like this... then later, using returning the Ancient Glacial Ice race as an opportunity, Academy Head, you go negotiate with the Main World Consciousness, right? After all, only you Academy Heads can represent the will of the Witch Race."

"Little Han..."

"Mn? What's wrong?"

"You are still so humble."

Academy Head Mei shook her head with a smile, "Little Han, you can also represent the will of witches in the Main World now. You have such qualifications, understand?"

Mei Linde spoke very solemnly.

Because she discovered that if some things weren't told to Little Han, Little Han's understanding of these interpersonal relationships and status, compared to her understanding ability at the Transcendent level, completely presented two extreme states!

"Wu... too troublesome. Such things should still be left to the most highly respected Academy Head Mei of the Witch Academy!"
