Chapter 1881 Initial Birth Diary <TOC> Chapter 1883 New Scene

After returning from the Wilderness of Dreams to reality, Angel sat in his spacious study, his features outlined clearly by the dim yellow light. The space, largely consumed by shadows, was very quiet, with only the faint sound of fingertips touching the desk.
Angel didn’t immediately enter a state of self-reflection, but pondered the events of the day.
Freud’s failure to bear the power was unexpected enough, but even more surprising was the power chosen this time: “Tree Civilization.”
Among the many Powers that have appeared so far, aside from the Power Tree, Tree Civilization is the most unique.
Other Powers are basically extensions and expansions beyond the core laws, tangible and visible changes, forming the basic powers of the world itself.
Tree Civilization, however, is more like an amendment and perfection to the function of a complete world.
In Angel’s understanding, it’s similar to the difference between hardware and software. If forced to categorize, other Powers belong to hard laws, while Tree Civilization is soft culture.
Both seem essential to perfecting the Wilderness of Dreams, but in reality, they differ.
Sanders, upon leaving, had reflected: The emergence of Tree Civilization had transcended the Wilderness of Dreams from the Nightmare Domain. The beginning of civilization, the pioneering of continents, is just like the original bud of a real world.
Indeed, hard law powers like Celestial Cycle, Gate of Dreams, and Power Level Restriction, though critically important and a basic element of the world, what truly brings a world to life and brightness is soft culture like Tree Civilization.
The emergence of Tree Civilization also signifies the Wilderness of Dreams truly transforming into a complete world.
This was the biggest surprise Angel gained today.
“Today, the Wilderness of Dreams is merely an interstitial space reliant upon the Wizarding World, in other words, just a fragment of a world, and already, the seeds of the real world have begun to sprout. What if it were connected to other worlds?”
Angel knew clearly that the Wilderness of Dreams could not only be established based on the Wizarding World; back in the Abyss, he almost succeeded in creating a new Wilderness of Dreams.
In other words, other worlds too can serve as a foundation, connecting the Dream Realm and Nightmare Plane to construct interstitial spaces, forming a new ‘Wilderness of Dreams’.
“When countless Wildernesses of Dreams unite, might they form a true world?” Angel murmured this possibility softly, his eyes shining with bright light.
What would the scene be like if it could truly be achieved?
—The Book of Worlds— is the most widely circulated tome in the Wizarding World, containing some universally acknowledged ‘truths’. Among them is a phrase that says——
“When the world begins to resonate with you, you are getting closer to the truth.”
In this context, the truth, to most wizards, can be interpreted as reality. However, few understand this saying… But a legendary wizard who once thrived on the stage of the Southern Region revealed a profoundly deep expression upon hearing these words.
Perhaps, this phrase is not incorrect. When the world resonates with you, the truth has already opened the path for you to advance.
But how does the world resonate with you?
In the past, Angel did not know, but at this moment, he suddenly had some conjecture. Perhaps, constructing a perfect world is one way to approach the truth?
Angel pondered all night until the reporting bird in the clock crowed in the morning bell, bringing him back to reality.
This night, Angel thought a lot, but on reflection, it seemed like there was no real gain. Ideals are grand, dreams are distant, and even the most beautiful moments are just transient, illusory bubbles of existence.
Thinking too much is not always good, as in reality, there is no solid foundation to support the journey towards distant goals. And ahead, a dense fog obscures the path, hiding the way if not dispersed.
What one can do now is to gradually improve oneself, just like in the Wilderness of Dreams, waiting for the moment of true transformation.
…
Temporarily setting aside speculations and obsessions about the Tree Civilization, Angel re-entered a period of cultivation, spending days and nights analyzing the green rune, consolidating his inner self.
These days of introspection finally brought an end to Angel’s study of the green runes on his right forearm.
The green runes on the right forearm and right hand are similar, with some differences. However, a large part of these runes, like those on the right hand, exceed Angel’s current research limit. Perhaps, with further advancement in strength, he could continue this study.
Although no new green runes were deciphered, Angel discovered during his research that there exists a special rune connection between the green runes on the right forearm and palm. This connection, previously overlooked by Angel, revealed itself as a bridge upon closer examination, allowing multiple green runes to have an amplified effect.
In simpler terms, activating the same green rune on multiple body parts yields a stronger effect than using it singularly.
For instance, both the right palm and forearm possess a green rune structured as ‘release, channel, gate’, used for releasing the aura of the Nightmare Plane.
Under this ‘bridge’ connection, activating this green rune simultaneously doubles the released aura of the Nightmare Plane.
This might seem insignificant, but in practical application, whether casting Nightmare Illusion spells or replenishing energy to the Nightmare Domain, it significantly enhances efficiency compared to before.
“The existence of the ‘bridge’ had never caught Angel’s attention before, but now, delving into its study, he realized how much time he had wasted. It’s for this reason that Angel approached this self-improvement phase with a more earnest attitude.
After completing the study of his right forearm, Angel was ready to shift his focus to his right eye.
The study of the right eye was a major emphasis in Angel’s research on the Green Rune System. This was because the right eye bore many unique green runes, distinct from those on his right hand.
Angel had once researched this on the Old Land Continent, possibly limited by computational power, and ultimately didn’t uncover much. He only had a vague understanding of a few abilities of the right eye, but what these abilities signified, and whether there were other undiscovered abilities, was still unknown to Angel.
Another point was that, during his time on the Old Land Continent, Angel always felt that there might be some risks associated with the green runes of the right eye. Before reaching a certain level of power, he didn’t dare to explore it further.
Now, although that premonition still existed, it was much weaker than before.
Angel personally felt it was within his tolerance, which was a key reason for choosing to research the right eye’s Green Rune System at this time.
Nevertheless, despite this, Angel remained extremely cautious in his research of the right eye.”
