So I Became a Witch and Started Doing Daily Quests Chapter 250 : Plane Will

Chapter 250: Plane Will

"All Clean—"

After tidying up the discarded ritual materials on the experint table, Janna glanced at the chanical clock showing two o’clock in the afternoon. Having skipped lunch, she took a sandwich and a chilled coffee milk from the refrigerator.

"Why did the Water Elental Plane choose ... and not the actual Deep Sea rmaid?"

While munching on her sandwich, Janna looked out at the raven perched on a tree branch and began to ponder the question.

When selecting a Plane Will, the Plane World always exercised the utmost caution.

The integrity of the Plane World depended on the completeness of the Laws; and the completeness of the Laws, in turn, relied on the restoration and expansion by the Plane Will.

Before the birth of the Plane Will, all actions of the Plane World were essentially unconscious choices made by the "Law Cluster" of that world.

Just like animal instinct, the Plane World relied on the Law Cluster’s instinct to choose its Plane Will.

The thod of choice used by the Law Cluster was, in fact, quite straightforward—either the first living being born within the plane or soone they particularly favored.

Because of this, Janna now found it difficult to determine exactly how the Water Elental World viewed her.

If it was the forr, it would be easy to understand—but if it was the latter, Janna truly could not figure out what qualified her to et the selection criteria of the Water Elental Plane.

Even though she had used Beginner Transfiguration to transform herself into the form of a Deep Sea rmaid, leaving aside the issue of the elental nature of magical particle energy, she clearly wasn’t the only option—the real Deep Sea rmaid was right beside her. So why did the Water Elental Plane choose her?

Could it be that, simply because the Deep Sea rmaid’s soul was sealed, the Plane World skipped over her and instead selected Janna?

Shaking her head, Janna denied that notion after taking a sip of coffee milk.

After all, the Deep Sea rmaid’s soul was only sealed, not entirely dissipated. Logically speaking, that explanation didn’t really hold up.

Unless...

Looking at the blue crystal ball on the experint table, Janna furrowed her brows slightly.

"Unless, the Deep Sea rmaid lacked a key trait that the Water Elental Plane urgently needed—and after transforming into rmaid form, I happened to possess that trait."

With this in mind, Janna swallowed the last bite of her sandwich and glanced at the now-empty glass bottle beside her.

She then pulled a bottle of unsweetened black coffee from the cold storage and returned to her seat beside the experint table.

"She doesn't have it, but I do—and it happens to be the trait the Water Elental Plane is most desperate for. If I had to guess, it must be Life and Purification—"

Given the vastness of its seas and abundance of water resources, it should not have been difficult for the Water Elental Plane to give birth to native water-elental beings.

Moreover, from Janna’s observations, the Water Elental Plane did not seem like a newly born Plane World.

Instead, it gave her the impression of sothing ancient.

Otherwise, there would be no way to explain why the instinctual awareness of the Law Cluster was so strong.

A strong autonomous awareness in the Law Cluster indicated that the Laws had existed for a long ti and had established their own rules of consciousness within the Plane World through countless cycles of operation.

However, what struck Janna as particularly contradictory was that these very Law Clusters, despite their strong awareness, were all incomplete.

And the degree of their incompleteness could only be described as tragic—

Therefore, Janna suspected that the Water Elental Plane had once birthed a Plane Will, but due to an Outer God invasion or plane corruption, the Plane World’s source energy had been severely depleted, resulting in the death of the Plane Will.

"Gulp—"

After finishing the last sip of bitter coffee, Janna let out a long sigh.

If the condition of the Water Elental Plane was truly as Janna suspected, then its situation was very similar to that of the Main Material Plane she resided in.

The only difference being that one was "dead," while the other was "asleep"—

"In that case, what the Water Elental Plane truly values is likely the Growth Law Fragnt and Purification Law Fragnt within —but primarily, the Growth Law Fragnt."

During her traversal into the Water Elental Plane, Janna hadn’t noticed any obvious signs of pollution. Of course, it was also possible that the pollution was too deep for her current abilities to detect.

However, if the Water Elental Plane had indeed once harbored a Plane Will, then this world likely included land as well as sea in its original form.

After all, any Plane World that attracted the interest of Outer Gods could not have had a simple or singular set of laws.

As a group well-versed in resisting Outer Gods, witches had already conducted extensive research on them.

These Outer Gods preferred to invade Plane Worlds whose Laws were relatively complete.

Especially worlds like the Main Material World, which possessed hundreds of Primary Laws—if the Plane Will and native beings were not absolutely dominant, then exposure to the Outer Gods would inevitably lead to endless predation.

To this day, if not for the witches’ desperate defense, and with the Will of the Witch already in slumber and many Primary Laws badly corrupted by the Outer Gods, the Main Material World might have already fallen.

"Which ans, what the Water Elental Plane truly seeks is the authority of the Life Law represented behind the Growth Law Fragnt—unfortunately, this kind of knowledge belongs to the advanced curriculum of Plane Studies, which isn’t taught at White Coral Academy yet."

Though Janna had read a few books about Plane Worlds in the library, most of them were sensationalized travelogues of Other Planes, and actual content about Plane Will was limited.

Thus, Janna had no idea what kind of effect it would have on her if her spiritual form were to be "kidnapped" by the Water Elental Plane as its Plane Will.

Especially since Janna’s own Witch Talents weren’t even water-type.

So, under all these unknown conditions, even though she had already used Spirit Traverse to mark the coordinates of the Water Elental Plane—

Janna would not venture into the Water Elental Plane again without thoroughly understanding the knowledge of Planes.
