Chapter 732: The Self-Cycling Small World Inside the World Fragnt
After a round of explanation, I was clear about what I was facing.
So, finally, Academy Head i took out the World Fragnt.
And its form far exceeded my expectation.
It was a giant chanical facility, much taller than I was, covered with densely flowing runes.
Just trying to understand it briefly, one could feel a captivating aura of a seal.
It generally presented a spherical shape, with a flexible structure encasing a glowing body inside, constantly and regularly changing its form.
"This is the thod the Wizards use to seal World Fragnts. After all, it's a World Fragnt. The fact that it can be sealed and compressed to this extent shows that their Sorcery has so ability. The outer layer is a World Fragnt Sealing Sorcery Tool. I heard that this thing alone is priceless among the Transcendent Wizards."
Academy Head i placed this massive item, which she had taken out, in front of everyone and explained what this thing was.
"A Sorcery Tool… But if it's a Sorcery Tool, we can't use it at all, right…"
I said.
After all, earlier, I had snatched the Destiny Sorcery Tool from that group of Wizards and fiddled with it for a long ti only to find that I truly couldn't use it.
Moreover, initially, I was stubborn and simulated the power model of Sorcery Power and the leverage of ntal Power to move the Transcendent, but it was all useless.
After trying for a long ti, I realized that Sorcery Tools are not unusable by non-Wizards; rather, they are unusable by anyone except the Wizards who know how to use them.
Even among Wizards, Sorcery Tools seed to be non-interoperable.
It was like a technological product secured with a password lock, fingerprint lock, voice-activated lock, and other authentications.
Without the corresponding ntal Power amplitude and Sorcery Power fluctuation to confirm the usage permission, it simply cannot be used.
Furthermore, so Sorcery Tools require corresponding knowledge reserves to be used.
After all, Wizards are terrifying existences who leverage knowledge to move the Transcendent.
Their wisdom is the reliance for their continuous advancent on the Transcendent path.
"Haven't you had exposure to Sorcery Tools, Xiao Han? Open-access Sorcery Tools can be used even by ordinary people, but generally, Sorcery Tools are not designed this way, unless it's a commodity intended for exchange. But even after selling it, Wizards will still add usage restrictions to it. This is already a basic operation for Wizards."
Academy Head i explained to , then reached out and pressed the Sealing Sorcery Tool.
Imdiately, the Sorcery Tool seed to be activated.
The regularly operating sealing structure and Sorcery Runes flowed rapidly.
After a mont of change, these outer sealing fraworks constructed a shape that could barely be called a "gate," about the size for one person to pass through.
"Do you want to go in and see this private small world that will only belong to you from now on?"
Academy Head i asked with a smile.
"I can go in now?"
"Of course. Entering a World Fragnt is not very difficult."
"Then… let's go in and take a look."
I also nodded, agreeing to the suggestion.
"Xiao Han can I join you? I want to go in and see too."
"Count in."
"What about ? Take along!"
As the gate of this World Fragnt opened, the Witch Sisters who were still lingering here also spoke up curiously, just as I was about to enter.
"Are you all not embarrassed? Haven't you seen a World Fragnt before? Are you like Xiao Han?"
Academy Head i looked at the few who were shouting the loudest, saying sowhat helplessly.
"Eh? Academy Head, you must be joking. The Witch race is the one not short on World Fragnts. What does that have to do with , a poor Witch? My savings aren't enough to buy one to play with."
"We just want to satisfy our curiosity! Xiao Han… Xiao Han, you wouldn't mind… would you?"
"Uh… actually… it's not impossible…"
I said from the side.
It was only for a visit.
"Xiao Han, let teach you one more thing now."
Academy Head i saw that I agreed so quickly, but she didn't let these Witches off the hook.
"Whether it's a World Fragnt, a sealed World Fragnt, or a World Fragnt refined into a Dungeon World, they are all very fragile… Xiao Han, World Fragnts should not be casually shown to people."
"Uh… oh…"
I nodded, though I still didn't know why.
Was there an upper limit to the carrying capacity?
Or was there an upper limit to the number of Transcendent beings it could carry, like the Main World?
"You must be curious why, right?"
At this mont, Academy Head i asked the question I truly wanted to know.
"Mhm, why?"
I asked at the opportune mont.
"Have you considered what would happen if the person or Witch who enters your World Fragnt leaves a Teleportation Marker or a positioning coordinate? A thief would appear in your World Fragnt who could enter it as easily as coming ho. Even if it is refined into a Dungeon World, if the opponent acquires the World Fragnt's coordinates and violently breaks in, it will also damage your Dungeon World itself, do you understand?"
"No, Big Sis i, you can doubt my conduct, but don't doubt my character! Would I do such a thing!"
At this mont, the few Witches on the side imdiately protested.
"Big Sis i, you know ! I would never do such a thing!"
"Big Sis i. I just want to see what the inside of a World Fragnt I can't afford looks like."
"How about I sign a Witch's Contract?"
"I am rely using you all as educational material for Xiao Han," Academy Head i said indifferently.
"With accompanying Xiao Han inside, you won't have the opportunity to leave a Spatial Marker."
After being lectured by Academy Head i like this, the Witches all behaved themselves, following behind the Academy Head and to enter this World Fragnt sequentially.
And the mont I entered this World Fragnt, I imdiately felt a peculiar sensation.
There was a feeling that this "world" seed to have died, yet the scene before was still "flourishing," with lush green grass and dense forests.
A light perception could detect tiny things, from insects in the leaves and under the mud to decomposing microbial communities.
In the distance, animals were calling, and looking up, one could see the simulated sun radiating sunlight.
This seed to be a small world with a very complete ecosystem!
But this was not what shocked the most, because I discovered that this World Fragnt actually isolated the spell effect of the Great Weakening Spell of the Main World's Core Realm!
Didn't this an that this place was essentially an absolutely perfect experintal area in the Core Realm?
The Witch Academy's Secret Realms couldn't even block the Great Weakening Spell effect, could they?
This was the first thing that ca to my mind.
I subconsciously used the Earth Vein Appraisal Spell to obtain the information of the land beneath my feet… and it was successful!
Just as the collective of other Witches entered and joyfully experienced the wonder of the World Fragnt, I noticed many anomalies.
"There is actually an Earth Vein here?!"
I exclaid in surprise, looking at Academy Head i, seemingly hoping she could explain it to .
"Of course, there is an Earth Vein. Don't forget that every inch of land here originated from a world. Only by retaining the Earth Vein can the most basic world cycle proceed. It's just that the activity of this Earth Vein has been greatly reduced and will slowly decay."
Academy Head i promptly explained to .
"Do you rember the first ti you arrived at Ninglan New City? The Earth Vein outside Ninglan New City was severed, becoming a dead land that could not be touched. A crucial component that World Fragnts seize is the World Earth Vein, which is the proof of whether a World Fragnt is still alive. What a World Fragnt seizes is not rely the earth and soil."
"Then what happens if a World Fragnt's Earth Vein decays to exhaustion?"
I asked curiously.
"It will die, becoming sothing like an oversized Storage Equipnt. It will be impossible to reconstruct an ecosystem with living things like this one again."
"Then, can such an Earth Vein be repaired?"
"Mhm… it's not impossible, but it's not worth it, unless that World Fragnt holds special value for a person or a Witch, to the extent of disregarding the cost. If it can't be repaired, transplanting the Earth Vein of another world can also revive the World Fragnt, but the world from which the Earth Vein is seized will beco a dead land."
"Alright…"
I didn't ask any more questions.
I felt that any random piece of information I knew now could influence the developnt and destruction of a world.
After all, topics related to World Fragnts are inherently inseparable from all sorts of worlds.
Those worlds are like fruits to be picked by anyone; no one cares about the parasitic worms or microorganisms on the fruit.
Perhaps in the eyes of the Transcendent beings who hold worlds in their hands, the indigenous lives on this world are sowhat similar to that…
In comparison, the people of the Main World's Core Realm seed to be luckier.
At least we were living with dignity in the manner of a civilized society, even if we were living in a lie where we didn't know the past history, but we didn't have to bear the pain of past humiliation.
"Xiao Han, although this world is considered a not-very-large World Fragnt, its size is far too big to explore simply by walking. Would you like to show you around your small world?"
"Mhm, thank you, Big Sis i."
I nodded, agreeing with Academy Head i's suggestion.
Although I had my own Flying Spellbook and Alchemical Flying Broom, with soone offering a ride, who would want to exert themselves?
With a gentle wave of Academy Head i's hand, I floated up with her.
This feeling was like weightlessness, but my strong Body Cultivation physical quality quickly adapted to this lifted posture.
As we ascended, the distant scenery also ca into our view.
It felt as if, if we went any higher, we would quickly see the boundaries of the world.
After all, this was a round heaven and square earth world.
"Xiao Han, you are very curious about what the boundary of the World Fragnt looks like, aren't you?"
Academy Head i asked with a smile, seeing my gaze fixed on the distance.
"Mhm."
I nodded.
I was indeed a little unclear on how it was designed.
"Actually, when you reach the boundary of the World Fragnt, it's usually either a dangerous zone or an unreachable cliff. You don't need to think about what happens to the lives that fall off. They will die if they fall. A normal intelligent creature with so judgnt wouldn't jump off a cliff for no reason, right?"
"So that's how it's solved?"
"Otherwise, how else? Such a world always has a boundary. Generally speaking, the material at the center of such a world is the most abundant, and it becos scarce at the edges, which is enough to ensure that there won't be large-scale biological communities at the boundaries."
Academy Head i explained these foundational concepts to .
These were considered common sense for Witches who had lived for a long ti and had seen a lot.
At this mont, Academy Head i transford into the most dedicated ntor, explaining the knowledge I didn't understand, including but not limited to the maintenance of the World Fragnt's ecosystem, resource replenishnt, how to interfere, and so on.
"It looks like this World Fragnt doesn't have any aborigines left, as we had previously speculated?"
I said.
"The traces of transfer are very obvious here, indicating that this wasn't the original state. Perhaps sothing was being bred here, possibly a Wood Elent Elf community, otherwise, it's unlikely that such a massive and undeveloped area of trees and forests would remain here."
Academy Head i said casually.
If there was nothing here, that was for the best.
She didn't particularly like cleaning up sses, even if this was Xiao Han's property.
anwhile, I was retrieving Earth Vein information and images.
However, the retrieval of this Earth Vein information was a bit slow, which was enough to indicate that the Earth Vein activity of this World Fragnt was not high.
According to the Academy Head's words, if the Earth Vein activity was not high, the world's ability to sustain its resource cycle was very poor.
If possible, it was best not to make large-scale changes to the internal ecological structure of the World Fragnt, or it might exacerbate the decay of the Earth Vein.
And now, the speed at which my Earth Vein Appraisal Spell retrieved information was also slow.
But before long, I also obtained this information.
"These… should be the Wood Elent Elves you ntioned, Big Sis i, right? Sure enough, they were all transferred away by the Wizards."
I expanded a section of the Earth Vein image and said.
"They are indeed Wood Elent Grass and Tree Elves. They can condense the essence of grass and trees, which is a kind of energy very close to nature, very gentle, and widely applicable. It can be used in many fields, including but not limited to Alchemy, Spellcasting materials, Forging, and Ritual drawing."
Academy Head i nodded, affirming that the beings in the image were Wood Elent Elves.
"Perhaps, Xiao Han, if you have ti, you can try to find them again. After all, a World Fragnt is so large; if they missed a few Grass and Tree Elves, you could keep them."
"Eh? Really?"
I looked at the palm-sized Grass and Tree Elves in the Earth Vein image and suddenly beca interested.
After all, who wouldn't like cute things?
"Of course, provided they were overlooked. To be honest, Wood Elent Elves are sowhat taboo for the Forest Elves of the Aphrodite Academy. They do not allow anyone or any non-Elf race to enslave or breed Elf-type life forms. Once discovered, they pursue the matter to the end. But the Wizard Academy doesn't seem to be afraid at all."
Academy Head i said with a smile.
"There's such a saying?"
"You don't need to worry about it. This World Fragnt belongs to you, after all."
Academy Head i said with a smile.
"I forgot to tell you earlier. As of just now, I helped you clean up all the Spatial Markers and other things the Wizards left in this World Fragnt. It was about… over a hundred thousand."
"Ah?! Over a hundred thousand?!"
I was shocked by this number.
What were the Wizards trying to do?
"Don't be surprised. They probably just didn't clean up what they had left behind. After all, a World Fragnt is so large, and breeding Grass and Tree Elves is also a tedious task. At most, they had a slim chance ntality. If they left one marker untreated, they could use it to observe what we Witches were doing with this World Fragnt."
"Then… was everything cleaned up?"
I asked, still sowhat worried.
"Of course. Even though I'm just an Avatar, I am still the Academy Head. What are you worried about, Xiao Han? Your Big Sis i is very capable."
