Chapter 271: Wisdom's Enlightenment, Fool... Dream...

The final moment before dawn is always the darkest, followed by the first glimmer of the sun's rays.

Although this was only a secret realm, it was a complete rainforest with a fully simulated weather system.

Sunlight pierced through the forest, illuminating the morning mist, giving the light shape.

And during this time, Big Sis Bai accompanied me on a walk through every part of the Fool's Village.

This was a scenery that even the Witch Academy didn't have.

Because of the nightmare attack that occurred in the early morning, none of the Fool's Dream in the entire village were in the mood to sleep.

Of course, the main reason was the major event of the village chief needing to enter the ancestral land for reincarnation.

Although this was a common sight in the Fool's Village, they seemed to take this matter very seriously.

And they firmly believed that the village chief would return again, just like before.

But according to Yuhu, this behavior of hers carried a certain degree of danger.

After a final farewell ceremony with the Fool's Dream, we came to the ancestral land again.

The Fool's Dream seemed to care a lot about a "sense of ritual" for many things, such as the banquet to welcome guests, and the mourning for a departing Fool's Dream.

When we were trapped in the dreamscape, a group of Fool's Dream held a mourning ceremony for Yuxi's sloughed skin in the ancestral land to let it return to the ancestral land, and they also prepared a ceremony for the newborn Fool's Dream.

Even the special reincarnation of the village chief, Yuhu, had a corresponding farewell ceremony.

There must be some kind of revelation in this.

Now I was getting a bit stressed by the keyword "ritual," but I have to say, not every one of these rituals had a revelation.

For example, this farewell ceremony.

This was a special ceremony formed spontaneously by the Fool's Dream for Yuhu's personal behavior.

It didn't seem to bring any revelation now.

“The children are really too enthusiastic, please don't mind too much.”

Yuhu led us to the entrance of the ancestral land again.

After walking inside, the weeds that were as if dyed black formed a single patch.

“These weeds are different from the ones outside. Did they become like this because of the nightmare?”

“Perhaps so.”

“In the dreamscape, there were no such weeds here.”

“Dreamscape, you know that the place you were dragged into was a dreamscape?”

At this moment, after I finished speaking, it was Yuhu's turn to be shocked.

“Naturally, are you surprised? Or should I say, you also know that place is a dreamscape?”

I lowered my head to look at Yuhu, my eyes filled with inquiry.

“Actually, at this point, I have nothing more to hide. Just mentioning our race's name, I believe you would also associate us with the secret realm, right?”

“Yes, are you dreamscape creatures?”

“You… how do you know?”

“A guess, but your answer surprises me. Can life be born in a dreamscape? I've always treated that possibility as a fairy tale.”

“I've said something I shouldn't have again… I really can't keep a secret…”

“Why keep it a secret? Since you've been reincarnating for so long, I believe you also understand the situation of your Fool's Dream clan, right?”

I asked curiously.

If she was unwilling to speak because she didn't want to recall sealed memories and stimulate the nightmare that coexisted with her, then now that she was about to reincarnate, why was she still thinking of keeping it a secret?

“I understand, but this is something we are willing to do, and it is even the best result we have striven for.”

At this point, Yuhu seemed to recall some bad memories again, and the nightmare aura on her body reappeared.

“No… not good… it's happening again in such a short time… let's start first, I may not have much time left.”

Yuhu said.

“Mm.”

I nodded in agreement, “Then what do I need to do next?”

“Mmm… you need to place your hand on the huge rock in the center and use your Meditation Method. Then, through an indescribable method, we will meet in another way. At that time, just follow my instructions.”

“So simple?”

I raised my eyebrows, somewhat unable to believe it, but now I had a question…

“Yes, it's very simple… the previous guests helped me in this way.”

Yuhu nodded and said.

“But there is a problem now, and that is that our original spellbook has been modded, and the Meditation Method has transformed into the Primary Meditation Method.”

“Wait… Primary Meditation Method?”

“You know about this too?”

I looked at the surprised Yuhu and asked.

It seems that Yuhu knows a lot, and even now, there are things she won't say unless I ask.

“This… I've only heard of it once. I've been reincarnating so many times, my memory has become blurred, but because it's very special, I remember it. That guest also used a special method to turn the Meditation Method into the Primary Meditation Method, but she only completed it with a guess under the huge rock of my ancestral land.”

“As expected…”

I nodded.

So before, a senior had reached this step.

Then what's next?

Having reached this step, why hadn't she unlocked the secret of the Fool's Village secret realm?

Was it because she didn't dare, or couldn't, or simply couldn't do it?

I would have to experience it myself to know.

“Then can the Primary Meditation Method help you complete your reincarnation?”

I asked.

After all, I had already modified the Meditation Method, and it would be troublesome to change it back, so I just asked directly.

“It can, or rather, it's more effective than the Meditation Method. Usually, with the Meditation Method, they seem to be unconscious and I need to wake them up for a long time, but the guest who completed the Primary Meditation Method could communicate with me very easily… you are the most special guest I have ever met.”

“Thank you for the compliment, then let's begin.”

I said, then turned to look at Big Sis Bai.

Big Sis Bai was with me at this moment, but for some reason, I always felt like I would always ignore her existence…

“Little Han, you go, I will witness your success here.”

Bai Yu said with a smile at this moment.

“Mmm, I was originally thinking if two people could do it.”

“It would be troublesome with two people, but it's not impossible.”

Yuhu said from the side.

“Then let's do it this way.”

I turned back and looked at Big Sis Bai again.

This kind of thing couldn't be forced, everything should be based on stability.

“Let's go.”

As I stepped forward, Yuhu also followed.

I didn't know if it was an illusion, but as Yuhu got closer to the huge rock in the center of the ancestral land, her body became more and more… withered and decayed.

That's right, withered was the only adjective I could think of.

With every step she took forward, her body disintegrated at an accelerated rate, and finally turned into a state similar to what I had seen in the dreamscape.

Then Yuhu's body floated in the air, free from the shackles of her physical body.

Gradually, her illusory form gradually dissipated.

But I could see her existence.

She had already reached another place, the dreamscape.

I gently pushed aside the plant that gave birth to the flower fairy and came to the front of the huge rock, placing my hand on it.

Suddenly, a strange sensation collided with my thoughts, making me subconsciously close my eyes and empty my mind.

Then I felt that the Primary Meditation Method I possessed had a feeling of being ready to be unleashed.

And at this moment, I also followed my instinct and released the Primary Meditation Method, entering a meditative state.

But the next moment, I felt my consciousness being pulled by an invisible force into a strange "space."

I was a little dazed and tried to distinguish it.

This didn't seem to be a dreamscape, but I felt something behind me.

I suddenly turned around and saw Yuhu who had turned into an invisible form.

“Yuhu, is that you?”

I asked tentatively.

I could see that the place where the other party was seemed to be in the dreamscape, and there seemed to be a barrier between me and her.

My hand could no longer touch the other party, even though the other party was only a short distance away from me.

The distance between us might be the distance between reality and the dreamscape.

“I didn't expect you to react faster than I expected… that's right, I'm Yuhu. Next, I need you to break the boundary between meditation and the dreamscape…”

“Yuhu wouldn't talk to me like this.”

I tilted my head and looked at this black mass of a guy and retorted, “And even if you ask me to break this boundary, I don't know how to break it.”

“You… you trash! You $#&…”

At this moment, the other party was slightly provoked by my words and suddenly became crazy.

I couldn't even understand the words it was saying.

“Good grief, it's really not Yuhu…”

As my words further provoked the other party, the real Yuhu also appeared behind.

“Sorry… it took some time to return to my origin. Fortunately, you didn't believe the nightmare's words…”

“To be honest, even if I did, I really couldn't do it. By the way, what should I do now?”

“Just don't be disturbed by the nightmare. Your current state, according to previous guests, should be a self-consciousness space. Can you still feel the Meditation Method?”

“I can…”

I nodded, and with a wave of my hand, the spellbook appeared in my hand.

This behavior was indeed magical.

My current state was caused by the spell effect of the Meditation Method.

As a result, using the spellbook again in this state, wasn't this a nesting doll?

“That's great… it won't be too much trouble. In the current state, language description is already a bit powerless. In the past, to achieve this step, you needed to constantly try and explore for a long time… the most dangerous time, I even almost failed my reincarnation… sorry, I'm getting a little off-topic, then leave the rest to me.”

“Mm.”

I nodded and didn't say anything more.

Actually, I also had a question, and that was how Yuhu discovered this method to maintain her reincarnation and preserve her cognition and memory.

Just by constantly trying, she didn't have such capital.

But before I could think too much, Yuhu had already crossed the distance and drilled into the Meditation Method spellbook.

At this moment, the spellbook in my hand became unstable.

Just as I was worried, the spellbook disintegrated at this moment.

This process was very fast.

The outer shell of the spellbook dissipated, and the other internal structures faded away, leaving only the purest and most original runes.

Seeing this, I subconsciously swallowed my saliva.

Even though I was not in my real body at this moment, if I still didn't understand, I might be a fool.

What Yuhu said about using our Meditation Method to complete her reincarnation was relying on this method!

This was even more concise and clear than me deconstructing the spellbook with Spirit Vision.

If the deconstruction of the Meditation Method was completed here, plus the revelations I had obtained, trying it here, plus Yuhu's cooperation, it might really be possible to deduce the Primary Meditation Method!

Then I would obtain the information left by the Academy Head in the spellbook.

By now, the place where I had skipped levels had already been filled by me.

But at this moment, I still had a problem that had not been solved, and that was the Intermediate Meditation Method and the Advanced Meditation Method mentioned in the information.

I still didn't know how to obtain them.

Was it just a joke, or was it a pretext to let us continue to strive for it as a goal?

Then this joke would be too big…

And shouldn't I be paying more attention to the fact that modding the spellbook here can affect reality.

Or should I say, this is reality, and the one in front of me is the real spellbook?

Just as my mind was rapidly thinking about the current situation, that nightmare was also constantly harassing me.

Unfortunately, I was separated from the other party by the distance between reality and the dreamscape.

And Yuhu, on the other hand, had transformed into a rune and formed a more wonderful effect with the Meditation Method spellbook.

And under this unknown effect, the part of Yuhu that was a Fool's Dream was constantly becoming pure, while the part of Yuhu that was a nightmare was cut by her like a material, until it reached a level that Yuhu could bear.

At this moment, it was like the most primitive butcher, but what she was cutting was not a pig, but a part of herself.

Wasn't this also Yuhu playing with her own life?

Treating herself as a moldable object, just to achieve her own goals.

This decisiveness made me admire her, but the dissipating nightmare, although separated from me by a dreamscape and reality, the nightmare itself was a part of the Fool's Dream's cognition and memory.

The formless nightmare was scattering in Yuhu's hands, and what was taken out… was her memory.

And at this moment, I was passively receiving this memory.

Perhaps this was related to the Meditation Method itself and me, and this was my consciousness space, so the memories overlapped at this moment.

It was an absurd world, and a blurred figure was right in front of "me."

A voice came out, “Thank you for shaping such a body for us, as a shell for us to enjoy reality, and also for separating us from… the nightmare…”

“It's just a trivial matter, a piece of cake.”

That figure emitted a soft female voice, as if comforting, as if distancing.

“But no matter what… we will not forget this kindness. I don't want to go back to being a dreamscape creature… that kind of us is really too scary…”

“So that's why I value you. You think it's scary, so you have recognized right and wrong, which also means you have a standard for life. This is the awakening of your own consciousness, and what I did was just give you a push from behind.”

The illusory figure looked down at the newly born Fool's Dream.

“From now on, you will live here. I will bring you to the main world, and with my expectations, become a true life, a life recognized by the void. Here, I will first grant you a race name, Fool's Dream… when you become a true life, you will truly inherit this name.”

“Then… how can we become a true life?”

The voice came from Yuhu's perspective, and it seemed to be Yuhu who asked such a question.

“You may face two problems. Fool… your consciousness is still chaotic and disorderly. Having been stripped of the nightmare, you are missing the most important thing in life. You need the enlightenment of wisdom. Dream… you also need to solve the essence of your dreamscape creatures. The shell of a flower fairy is still a shell, not a part of your life. You need to truly break away from the dreamscape to have a chance of becoming a true life. This is what I expect of you, the life you are to become, the true Fool's Dream clan.”

The screen and the sound seemed to come to an abrupt end at this moment.

The nightmare seemed to have been "dealt with."

At this moment, I looked at Yuhu.

After watching this memory, I found that I had still somewhat underestimated Yuhu.

Yuhu seemed to be slowly exploring the path to becoming a true "life" on her own.

And for her to become a life, the first step was to eliminate the "fool."

She needed a life's self-cognition and retained memory.

Her coexistence with the nightmare was the path she had explored at this moment.

That illusory woman helped her separate the two existences of the Fool's Dream and the nightmare, but this was just to prevent the Fool's Dream from being chaotic and evil due to the nightmare part.

And what Yuhu was doing was to find a way out for them in this chaos.

It could be considered as taking the essence and discarding the dross from oneself.

This process was undoubtedly dangerous, and even irreversible.

One failure would lead to a complete loss, returning to the original state, losing memory, and losing everything.

But I believe that Yuhu must have a backup plan, for example… recording it in advance, recording the memory in the form of a story.

So… the so-called Wisdom's Enlightenment mission, was it to help the Fool's Dream with their wisdom's enlightenment?

Then, there was another question now, and that was what was the relationship between the Meditation Method and the Fool's Dream?

The rune that every Fool's Dream possessed…

At this moment, a terrible thought suddenly came to my mind.

Was this rune of every Fool's Dream like Yuhu's, becoming a part of the Meditation Method?

Gathering the runes of all the Fool's Dream into the Meditation Method… what would the Meditation Method become?

Thinking of this, I couldn't think any further, because if it were to be like this, it would require all the Fool's Dream to reincarnate, which would be equivalent to killing them all?

I asked myself, I couldn't do it…

Could it be that the seniors who had reached this step in the past had also foreseen such a result and finally gave up?

I didn't know, and I wasn't clear, but I had an advantage that those seniors didn't have, and that was that I could mod the spellbook without the help of the ancestral land.

I didn't need their "sacrifice" to obtain the runes.

Looking at it this way… it seems that there's a lot of room for manipulation here.
