Chapter 750: Race, Bloodline, Witchification
Several days passed, and the start of the semester was approaching.
Through these days of practice in the laboratory, Yi Rui assisted me in continuously practicing and perfecting the Witchified Body Cultivation Method and the prototype of the Self-generating Magic Power Construction Ritual.
Meanwhile, the others continued to expand the upper limit of the number of Magic Power Sources resonating with the Witch-transformation Reconstruction Metamorphic Spell.
Although only a few days had passed, they had already pushed the upper limit of Magic Power Source resonance into the high hundreds, nearly reaching four digits.
Such a quantity was sufficient for me to perfectly construct the ritual prototype.
Only by successfully constructing the perfect prototype could I know exactly what it lacked and how to proceed with its further refinement.
This process was undoubtedly dull, and even more so for Yi Rui, who was performing the actual operations.
Moreover, we discovered that while the resonance method of linking Magic Power Sources to the torso made it convenient for them to push the upper limit of Magic Power Source quantity, it made it somewhat difficult for her to arrange the ritual nodes.
This was especially true since such precise operations were required; the tenfold incremental resonance method had truly taught Yi Rui and the others a lesson.
It made them realize the price one had to pay for taking shortcuts.
However, this was also a matter of pros and cons.
The resonance method extremely accelerated the progress of the Witch-transformation Reconstruction Metamorphic Spell in terms of the Magic Power Source upper limit.
My original "unnamed connection method" was a steady approach, representing two extremes.
That steady approach was more convenient for controlling Magic Power Sources, but regarding the current issue of the upper limit, it would require stacking the limit one by one.
In that case, for them to push to the upper limit of ten thousand, they could only keep performing addition, which might take one or two years—hardly enough time...
Therefore, Yi Rui and the others did not give up on the resonance method.
The resonance method was not only convenient and fast, but the tenfold incremental base made it convenient for statistics and was conducive to level classification.
As for control... since they had created the resonance method, they could continue to perfect it to make control more concise.
Although they did not have a specific plan yet, they had already chosen a name for this plan-to-be-perfected: the "Micro-control Resonance Method."
Just from the name, one could roughly tell that they seemed to have some clues and that it was not a delusion born of nothing.
"How does it feel? Is there a very mysterious feeling inside your body?"
I looked at Yi Rui and the data collected by the instruments beside her.
However, this observational data was ultimately no match for my Floating World level Spirit Vision, which saw through her essence of life completely.
Precisely because I possessed such an ability, I could constantly make ritual adjustments for Yi Rui and clearly understand the problems with Self-generating Magic Power in terms of ritual architecture.
As expected, a problem appeared.
They did not possess Self-awakened Body Cultivation; the foundational architecture of Self-generating Magic Power had no so-called foundation...
But for Transcendent Witches, none of them were Self-awakened Body Cultivators, yet they still possessed the Self-generating Magic Power physical talent.
Then... what was it constructed upon?
Was it simply on the essence of life, similar to Self-awakened Body Cultivation, but skipping the framework of Self-awakened Body Cultivation?
"There is indeed a strange feeling... but it isn't obvious; it’s very illusory..."
Yi Rui spoke at this moment.
"I see."
I nodded to indicate my understanding.
This feeling was because the Self-generating Magic Power to be constructed lacked the most fundamental basis, which reflected in Yi Rui's cognition as a feeling of being illusory because it had no foundation.
I turned my head to look at Mentor Belica on the side.
Since I had encountered a problem outside my cognition, pondering it myself would be inefficient.
Research was about constantly standing on the shoulders of giants to achieve what one wanted; getting a ready-made answer was not embarrassing.
"Big Sis Belica."
"Oh? Xiao Han, it’s actually you coming to find me? Have you encountered some problem?"
Belica raised her head, looking somewhat surprised upon seeing me.
She had grown accustomed to her student Yi Rui coming to find her; Xiao Han usually rarely troubled them.
Of course, if I did trouble them, it was basically a major issue.
"Yes, I’ve encountered some minor problems."
"Minor problems? Heh heh Then ask away."
Belica gave a light laugh, unclear if she was dismissive of this "minor problem" or if she was skeptical that the words "minor problem" could even come out of my mouth.
"Big Sis Belica, do you know what Self-generating Magic Power is constructed upon?"
I asked directly, getting straight to the point.
"Oh Good question, but I don't know."
Belica shook her head, indicating she was unclear, and was quite blunt about it.
"Then... Big Sis Belica, do you have any related theories? For example... is it constructed upon the essence of life, or something else?"
I continued to ask.
"I’m not quite sure, but... broadly speaking, it is indeed constructed upon the essence of life, but... referring simply to the essence of life is inaccurate."
Mentor Belica shook her head and said.
"Inaccurate... meaning it’s a more meticulous division above the essence of life?"
I inquired.
"That is my knowledge blind spot; I haven't researched to that extent."
She could only wave her hand and say with a smile, "But... Xiao Han, if you really want to know about this issue, perhaps I can give you some lines of thought. A word of warning in advance! These are just my conjectured lines of thought; I don't guarantee they are correct. You must be prepared to abandon these ideas and start from scratch at any time."
"It's fine. I am very confused right now; any line of thought can give me a certain amount of inspiration."
I said, indicating it was no problem.
As for falling into a cognitive trap?
My subconscious Shadow of Knowledge was not useless.
"Alright, then I will speak boldly."
Belica nodded.
"My research into the Self-generating Magic Power physical talent is not deep. I told you before, we disbanded just as we were starting; we couldn't understand this thing. But for an ability as important as Self-generating Magic Power, I estimate it is constructed upon the Witch race concept."
"Ah? Upon the Witch race concept? That abstract?"
I was somewhat surprised.
"Is Xiao Han not yet clear on the concepts of race and bloodline?"
She asked.
"That... I know a bit."
After all, I had manufactured many strange clones in the Expansion Realm using the Reincarnation Spell, so I had some understanding of concepts like race and bloodline for mutated beasts.
Moreover, within my Great Tree of Knowledge, a massive amount of information was constantly being stored every moment, which included information regarding race and bloodlines.
Of course, more importantly, within the Great Witch Project, the concepts of the Witch race and bloodline were already present.
Being reminded like this by Big Sis Belica, I quickly began to search.
In the Great Witch Project, race and bloodline were the existences that defined the concept of the Transcendent Witch; they were the basis for why the life form known as a Witch was called a Witch.
Thinking of this, I suddenly realized an error of mine: the concept of Self-generating Magic Power did not seem to be equivalent to the concept of a Witch.
In other words, Self-generating Magic Power was not a necessary condition for the Witch race, but a necessary condition for a powerful Witch race.
The reason it could not be set aside was that it was one of the indispensable abilities for the operation of a Witch's transcendent power, but it was not a necessary factor for the continued existence of the race concept.
"Since you know a bit, then it’s easier to understand. Since the physical talent of Self-generating Magic Power is so important and yet cannot be researched, it is highly likely constructed upon the Witch race concept and then manifested through the externalized expression of the Witch race bloodline."
"So that's how it is?"
"Xiao Han, don't forget this is just my guess, okay?"
She reminded me again, as she did not want the things Xiao Han was researching to fall into a trap because of her suggestions.
"Oh, of course I haven't forgotten. I just feel this explanation is very reasonable."
I said hurriedly.
In fact, I was thinking even more deeply than the mentor expected, even connecting it to the Great Witch Project.
This seemed to be another angle that gave me a new understanding of the Great Project.
Previously, I only knew that Witchification converted oneself into a Witch, but converted what?
Converted the race, obviously.
But now that I saw things a bit more clearly.
Looking at the concept of Witchification again... it converts a life form's race concept and bloodline manifestation in a more profound way.
Through these two ways of defining life categories, it fundamentally converts a life form into a Witch.
The degree of thoroughness of this transformation was even more thorough than converting the concept of gender at the genetic level!
Even more outrageous!
No wonder the Witch race so comfortably trusted converted Witches, naturally calling each other sisters without too many barriers.
Because this was equivalent to the re-gestation and birth of a life, the converted Witches were still Witches through and through.
Although they might not be so in form, they were so in essence.
So tracing back to the source.
What was my problem...
What was Self-generating Magic Power constructed upon?
Upon the race concept and bloodline information.
Then what could influence the race concept and bloodline information?
Witchification.
Could the Witch race concept and bloodline information of a Reserve Witch bear Self-generating Magic Power?
I would have to try to find out, but I bet it could.
Previously, I simply treated the Witchification process as a condition for promoting to a Transcendent Witch; this thought was actually incomplete.
The Witchification process, from my current perspective, roughly included two levels.
One was the Witchification of the essence of life.
Within the essence of life, there was a life race concept and bloodline information.
The race concept defined racial characteristics, and the bloodline information fed back the body's posture.
All of these made sense; the Witchification process primarily referred to this.
The second was the accompanying basic threshold, the life level.
The life level referred to the strength or weakness of the essence of life, so this was a unit of measurement.
Only with a strong essence of life was one qualified to touch True Time.
After all, the starting point for the Transcendent Witch race was the Transcendent.
Witchification of the life level alone was naturally not enough; it also required the level of the essence of life to be very high, high enough to support promotion to Transcendent.
The reason I bet that Reserve Witches could use this incomplete race concept and bloodline information to bear Self-generating Magic Power was primarily because of the "Witch-transformation Reconstruction Metamorphic Spell."
This was itself a means using the Resurrection Spell as a prototype, with the guiding ideology of promoting the Witchification process and the purpose of modifying the essence of life.
Once this metamorphosis was completed, the progress of the first level of Witchification would be greatly elevated, so I was certain this was possible.
Furthermore, wasn't there also the assistance of the power of the Body Cultivation system?
Although this was not Self-awakened Body Cultivation, the power of Body Cultivation could still be borne to a certain extent... although the effect wasn't very large, it was still a form of psychological comfort.
After working out these sequences and logic, I quickly had my own line of thought.
Of course, I didn't just rush in directly.
After all, Mentor Belica said more than once that this was her guess, so I was now going to find Big Sis Bai to help me.
I needed to cram the relevant missing knowledge regarding more meticulous aspects of the Great Witch Project.
After all, previously Big Sis Bai had only helped me find the Magic Power Project and the Magic Power Source Project under the Great Witch Project.
I still needed some other projects or related knowledge.
"By the way, I'm preparing to go out."
"Hmm? Is there something Big Sis Xiao Han wants to do? Just leave it to us."
Hearing that I was going out, several girls nearby hurriedly spoke up.
Being able to do things for Big Sis Xiao Han, they were incredibly active.
"No, I'm going to ask Big Sis Bai to help me find some materials. I won't trouble you with this."
I spoke.
"I see."
Yi Rui echoed from the side.
The road of experimentation was always full of difficulties; even Xiao Han required a large amount of materials to support her research.
"Then shall I continue with this?"
Yi Rui also asked casually.
"Um... currently, the Self-generating Magic Power construction ritual has reached a limit. Even if you try further, it will be hard to progress without a new breakthrough point. Yi Rui, next, you should also participate in pushing the Magic Power Source upper limit. This problem might trouble me for a while."
"Um... okay."
Yi Rui nodded, her tone carrying an imperceptible trace of disappointment.
After all, in such an experiment, she had no way to help Xiao Han.
"It's fine. It’s not some insurmountable problem. I’m just going to verify my conjecture."
"What materials are you looking for, Xiao Han? Perhaps you can ask me to help you find them."
At this time, Mentor Belica spoke up from the side.
"Ah... no need for that. Big Sis Belica, you all just busy yourselves with your own matters."
"...Alright, if you insist."
Belica did not try to persuade further.
"By the way, it’s almost mealtime. I happen to be going out; send what you want to eat in the group, and I'll help pick it up for you."
After all, delivery couldn't get into the experimental area.
For those of us who were still accustomed to eating every day, it was indeed a trouble.
Therefore, I basically also prepared some instant food and water myself, but as for the taste... it was hard to describe.
"Yay! Today we eat takeout that Big Sis Xiao Han personally went to get!"
Immediately, a chorus of cheers erupted from the laboratory.
It seemed that after eating those things these past few days, their mouths were truly so bland they had no flavor left.
Leaving the laboratory, I rarely chose not to use teleportation directly.
After all, teleporting into the experimental area every time was very troublesome.
This place was already a permission-controlled area; whether teleporting out or in, it would cause quite an impact.
Therefore, on the roads of this experimental area, one could still see many leisurely figures of witches.
After I walked out of the experimental area, I opened the marker for Big Sis Bai's villa.
A spatial teleportation gate instantly hid my figure.
Just as my figure vanished, another figure suddenly appeared.
"Eh? No, you strolled leisurely in the experimental area for so long, and then you teleport directly upon coming out?"
Clearly, this figure had intended to step forward and strike up a conversation, but she hadn't expected the other party to leave so hurriedly.
Watching the vanished teleportation space, she was so angry she struck the experimental area's spatial barrier with her fist.
In the next moment, her figure vanished from the spot.
"What is the deal with this experimental area? With such a high level of spatial protection, if you won't let people in, then just don't! Yet you even set up a spatial maze to disgust me..."
Cheryl looked at the spatial maze before her, feeling as if she had been toyed with.
This was already her second visit here, and the first... was just now.
Clearly, even when facing Mei Linde earlier, she hadn't suffered such a loss.
