Chapter 1144: The Transformed Void Frontline World
Before long, within the Fool's Dream Workshop, Fool's Dream Eggs began to manifest one after another before the assembled witches.
At this moment, they had no time to wonder how I could still use such techniques while under the effects of the Great Ordinary Spell; their eyes were fixed entirely on these eggs.
I maintained the Great Ordinary Spell solely for my own cultivation, not to restrict myself. Having gradually mastered the spell, I was now capable of performing these techniques personally.
However, these skills would be meaningless if I were the only one who knew them. They only gained true value once the Fool's Dream species learned them as well.
"I’ll have to trouble you all to look after the birth of the Fool's Dream creatures. Also, we’ll need to follow up on the surrounding infrastructure."
After all, if the Fool's Dream creatures were descending into reality, they needed the basics, didn't they? A place to live, places for recreation and relaxation...
Furthermore, they would require daily necessities in the physical world.
Regulations for their protection would also need to be drafted... work assignments, hours, holiday benefits, and so on. All of this required careful planning.
"Don't you worry~ Leave it all to me!"
Dinah, who had already arrived, patted her chest and gave her word.
She had already accumulated plenty of experience in settling the Fool's Dream creatures. Leaving these matters to her put my mind at ease.
Later, this would need to be reported to the Academy Dean. Only with support at the academy level could this project truly flourish.
After entrusting the Fool's Dream Eggs to them and explaining the various precautions, I bid them a reluctant farewell.
Yulan and the others stayed behind to help build the Fool's Dream Workshop. Its current existence was merely a temporary solution to the problem of their birth.
The subsequent "life cycle" framework would likely depend on the efforts of the Fool's Dream creatures themselves. So, for now, I wanted Yulan and her kin to gain experience here. If possible, I also wanted the Fool's Dream species to master a unique transcendent advancement system.
One must understand that by becoming the dream life sequence of the Land of Fool's Dream and being granted Primal Power, they had become bound to me.
The Land of Fool's Dream had become a vital link in the domain order I commanded.
Body Cultivation, the Tree of Great Knowledge, and the Land of Fool's Dream—these three formed the dream order I wielded.
What did this mean?
It meant that the Fool's Dream species itself was the order within my domain!
One could say that life is order, or that order belongs to life. I was the master of power and order, while the Fool's Dream creatures were the embodiment of that power and order.
In other words, as long as I expanded my domain, I could directly manifest the Land of Fool's Dream.
When that happened, every Fool's Dream creature could become an extension of my power.
After all, my initial concept for them was to let power itself become the Fool's Dream.
The "Primal Great Fool's Dream Spell" evolved from the power of the Land of Fool's Dream encompassed both summoning and transformation. In essence, it meant mastering two authorities, representing the concept and bloodline information of the Fool's Dream race.
It was because of this power that I could create Fool's Dream life so easily. Combined with the techniques I mastered—including but not limited to consciousness incubation and life shaping—it meant that the birth of these creatures was no longer restricted to the consciousnesses within the Land of Fool's Dream.
They could now continuously give birth to more individuals through gestation. The more individuals there were, the more complete the Land of Fool's Dream would become.
Of course, the prerequisite was that the Land of Fool's Dream had to first establish a life cycle; otherwise, a Fool's Dream creature who died in a foreign land would have no way to return home.

After saying goodbye to the Fool's Dream creatures and the witches, I synchronized the newly refined "Perfect Human Five Senses Body Cultivation Method" with my body cultivation clone.
Since the self-awakening body cultivation experiment had succeeded, it was time to move to the next stage.
Once that was done, I would devote myself entirely to research regarding the Great Ordinary Spell.
Before diving into my research, I used life evolution to bolster my life level once more. I could faintly sense that I was not far from breaking through to the Transcendent level.
Compared to raising my life level, I felt I should consider which project would serve as the foundation for my advancement.
The safest bet was undoubtedly the Tree of Great Knowledge.
My current concept for the Tree was sufficient for a large-scale perfecting ritual, and its power was enough to serve as my foundation for Transcendent advancement.
However, I always felt there was something purer than such "external objects" that could serve as my foundation.
Indeed, my perspective had quietly shifted. Even the Tree of Great Knowledge, compared to that concept, could only be considered an external tool.
If I were to name the thing that fit me most perfectly...
It would be the concept of "Perfect Human Awakening"!
Yes, Perfect Human Awakening, not merely Perfect Human Body Cultivation.
I felt it was absolutely necessary to reorganize my thoughts.
Perfect Human Awakening was, in essence, the "self-awakening body cultivation talent" stripped of its "body cultivation" suffix.
The birth of "Prototype Self-Generated Mana" was proof enough that using the term "body cultivation" to describe it was highly inaccurate.
Thus, I replaced it with the concept of "Perfect Human Awakening."
However, as I currently lacked influence, I couldn't change everyone's perception yet. It was enough that I understood it myself.
The reason I chose "Perfect Human Awakening" as my foundation for Transcendent advancement was that it bridged the two transcendent systems I currently mastered: Witch Spell Cultivation and "Mishmash" Body Cultivation.
The "self-generated mana" and "infinite mana" derived from Perfect Human Awakening proved the path I was taking in spell cultivation.
And there was another counter-intuitive point: Perfect Human Awakening did not actually derive any body cultivation-related abilities.
All the body cultivation power I possessed was obtained through the most ordinary "cultivation." That was why I called it "Mishmash Body Cultivation."
Perfect Human Awakening acted essentially as an "accelerator" in this process.
The same applied to Heart Sense, World Sense, and Space Sense.
It was a simple logic: even without "self-awakening body cultivation," a body cultivator could still develop Heart Sense, or even Time Sense and Space Sense.
But without "self-awakening body cultivation," no one could develop "Prototype Self-Generated Mana."
In terms of body cultivation, I didn't possess any derived talents similar to "Prototype Self-Generated Mana."
Even the "Perfect Human Five Senses" could be achieved without self-awakening body cultivation.
Looking at it this way, did it mean that self-awakening body cultivation—this "talent accelerator"—wasn't strictly necessary?
On the contrary, it was vital. Otherwise, I wouldn't have given it the name "Perfect Human Awakening," which I deemed most fitting.
This talent was the "guide" onto the path of the Perfect Human, as well as its foundation.
First, one had to understand that ordinary body cultivation and self-awakening body cultivation were two different paths.
The reason these two systems were lumped together was that someone had originally used body cultivation methods to develop the self-awakening talent.
Body cultivation, at its source, was a system born from the most primitive pursuit of power, violence, and killing within the void.
But self-awakening body cultivation should follow the path of "Perfect Human Awakening."
"Power" was merely a byproduct of walking this path. Its fundamental purpose was self-cognition, which then extended to the cognition of life itself.
And within the domain of life, there existed an ultimate life form.
The Perfect Human.
Therefore, I believed that "self-awakening body cultivation" was the talent best suited for pursuing the path of the Perfect Human. Thus, it should be called the "Perfect Human Awakening Talent."
Yes, all of this was "in my opinion."
Anyone can interpret transcendence, and every interpretation has its own meaning—including my "Perfect Human Awakening."
However, life grants value to meaning. Meaning without value seems to lose its significance in the eyes of life.
Only after seeing through this can a life form be qualified to walk its own path.

After handling these matters, I took a rare trip from the Expansion Realm to the Void Frontline World.
I knew that Dean Mei and the others had begun repairing the "facade" of the Main World's outermost layer, but I wasn't sure how far they had progressed.
I only knew they must have finished building the void teleportation channel; otherwise, that fellow Luomeo couldn't have appeared here.
A witch born as a Transcendent.
She was the transcendent offspring of two Transcendent Witches through a breeding project—the very foundation of why transcendent races were called such.
But to be honest... I had never actually seen a Witch Egg.
With so many Transcendent Witches in the academy, how were there so few instances of "sparks flying" and "accidental fires" resulting in the crystallization of their love?
I clearly remember seeing many witches attending love tutoring classes when Sister Bai went.
In the Witch Academy, I truly had never seen a larval-stage Transcendent Witch.
But I was certain Luomeo was exactly such a being.
Setting that question aside for now, I manually cast a teleportation spell to cross the world barrier.
The moment I entered the Frontline World, I was instantly stunned by the sight before me!
This was a completely different world from the wasteland I had seen before!
I felt as if I were standing in the middle of a sea of stars!
Planets orbited like a cluster of stars around a massive construct in this life forbidden zone.
That construct looked familiar.
It seemed to be the "Void Portal" led by Teacher Ji Niang and the others!
Only this one looked far more complete and significantly more massive.
Seeing so many planetary worlds floating casually within the life forbidden zone left me dazed for a long time, unable to snap out of it. It wasn't until my gaze fell upon the source of this star cluster—that "World Core"—that I understood what was happening.
It seemed the progress of the Main World's restoration was a "tiny" bit faster than I had anticipated.
While I was staring blankly, a few witches stopped not far from me. They seemed curious; after all, in this Frontline World filled with Transcendent Witches, the sudden appearance of a Little Witch was bound to draw attention.
"Hi there~ Sister, is your Little Witch Mutual Aid Association planning to move into the Main World too?"
"Huh?" I snapped out of my daze and hurriedly faced the witches who had approached. I pointed at myself instinctively. "Are you talking to me?"
"Of course~ Just look around. You're the only Little Witch here, aren't you?"
"Oh... sorry, I wasn't thinking," I said sheepishly. "But you've misunderstood. I'm not a member of the Little Witch Mutual Aid Association, so I don't know if they're moving in."
"Ha? Are you joking? Then how did you get the qualification to enter the Main World? If a Little Witch like you could snatch a spot, then you must be one of these~" The witch said, giving me a thumbs-up.
"I was already in the Main World. I'm a teaching assistant at the Main World Witch Academy," I explained.
"What? You're a senior? My, Senior, you certainly have a good eye! Taking a TA position in the Main World ahead of time? You've certainly timed it perfectly!"
"Yeah~ I'm so jealous!"
Upon hearing my introduction, the witches immediately looked envious.
"Wait! I can't accept the title of 'Senior'!"
"Why not? I think it fits perfectly! Little Witch Senior~" the witches teased with a laugh.
Looking at their expressions, they seemed to be indulging in some very strange tastes.
"Exactly~ Little Witch Senior must know a lot about the Main World, right? Can you chat with us? We aren't allowed into the Expansion Realm or the Core World yet, or we might mess up the World Script or something."
"Yeah~ tell us about it~ Little Witch Senior~"
"Ugh... stop it, don't call me that! You're giving me goosebumps!"
"Tell us some interesting things about the Main World. If you give us some gossip, we might consider dropping the title. How about it?"
"Ahem... well, I suppose I could..." I coughed lightly, no longer refusing.
"Let's go~ let's find a secluded planet. If we're caught loafing around, we'll get lectured again."
With a wave of their hands, the witches signaled for me to follow. I trailed behind them to a barren, undeveloped planet.
After landing, they carved a cave directly into a rocky mountainside. Then, they applied runes to isolate perception. Judging by their coordination and speed, I'd bet this wasn't their first time slacking off.
"Hehe~ there we go."
The witches carved stone stools for themselves. Once seated, they turned to me with faces full of gossip.
"Um... so, what do you want to know?" I asked first.
"Anything! Whatever! For example... what's the current situation in the Main World?"
"The situation... well, the Witch Academy is the undisputed hegemon. The Three Great Transcendent Races have basically become lambs to the slaughter."
"As far as I know, the Three Great Transcendent Races in the Main World are the Wizards, Elves, and Birdmen, right?"
"That's correct."
"Wait! I heard the Abyssal Demons also tried to stick an oar in, right?"
"There are demons too?" One witch's eyes widened at the news. "Are there succubi among them?"
"Huh?" I looked at the ridiculous witch before me and eventually nodded. "Yes, there are indeed succubi."
