Chapter 3946: Depths of the Soul

~10 min read 1,945 words

Taking advantage of the maids going to prepare sleeping potions and rituals to connect the dream, Xia De told the origin of the "Source of the Spark" in his hand, as well as his suspicion of the 【Creation Church】.

Weige was not the kind of person who believed that the Church must be a positive organization, or rather, witches generally didn't believe that the True God Church was completely kind:

"This is normal. There are also factions within the Church. Although I don't believe that the 【Creation Church】 will have problems as a whole, there must be many people within it who have gone on the wrong path now.

Wait, the element changes in this vicinity are so violent, the other four churches in the local area must have passed the news to their respective Papal Sees. The other four churches will soon conduct joint inquiries about this matter. Even if the 【Creation Church】 does not admit it, this matter cannot be hidden for too long."

She also said quite proudly:

"I think, the one who will save the world in the end might be our 【Witch Council】. Do you know that the Council has done many things in the past two years? Although I didn't participate in those big events, I also provided a lot of behind-the-scenes help. *Cough cough*, *cough cough*."

She showed off to Xia De:

"And I know quite a few Chosen Ones. The Chosen One chosen during the Battle of Fate is a member of the Council. I can't say the girl's identity, but you can see her when you have a chance later... She seems to only like pure girls... It doesn't matter, she doesn't like you, that's her own loss."

Xia De smiled and didn't respond.

The maids' preparation was very fast. If they wanted to enter the dream, of course, it was best to lie down. Weige originally intended to introduce her bedroom to Xia De, but later, under the reminder of Miss MacDonald, she understood that she was a bit too anxious, and such a strong purpose was easy to be resented.

Therefore, the ritual to connect the dream was arranged on the floor of the study. Subsequently, Weige lay on the long sofa, and Xia De lay on the mattress spread on the floor. The red thread connected the right index fingers of the two. Not long after drinking the potion, Xia De's consciousness entered the dream.

Because the purpose of this dream entry was to investigate Weige's soul, Xia De entered Weige's dream.

This was a dream with preparation. As an eleventh-tier Great Witch, Weige could of course consciously control the content of the dream. Therefore, when Xia De's consciousness woke up from the chaos, he found himself in a large manor he didn't know. At this time, it was a sunny day with flowers blooming. Judging from the architectural style of the manor, this was still Arcadia City.

It was just that when he looked up at the sky, there was a huge silver moon phantom in the clear sky. Xia De didn't do anything, he just brought this moon to this dream because he appeared in this dream.

"This is the ancestral home of the Astley family. I grew up here when I was a child."

Weige's voice came from not far away, and subsequently Xia De heard her ask curiously:

"Is your soul actually so powerful? Just waking up, you brought the moon to my dream. So, is the witch you know the moon?"

She obviously guessed wrong again, but Xia De didn't correct it. He looked at the beautiful butterflies flying around him, then bypassed the hedge wall in the garden, and saw Weige swinging alone.

The black-haired witch in the dream had a rosy face and looked even more beautiful than in reality. On a sunny day, seeing such a beautiful girl swinging in the garden, no matter who it was, their mood would become very good, so Xia De showed a smile.

And in Weige's feeling, the moment Xia De connected with her dream, she felt her soul leaning on a mountain. And when Xia De opened his eyes in the dream, she felt that a part of her soul was forcibly invaded by Xia De's soul.

That feeling was not uncomfortable, but rather that she was affected by a more powerful force, but this influence would not cause damage. And when she saw Xia De, who bypassed the hedge, appear in front of her, the witch on the swing clearly felt that she saw a "sun."

That figure was clearly normal, but at that moment it seemed to become infinitely high and infinitely large, possessing infinite light and infinite heat.

She was a bit stunned while swinging. After blinking, she saw Xia De's figure was normal again. Although she was a bit astonished, Weige's mood was actually better than Xia De's at this moment. The mutual contact of souls made her understand that Xia De was even warmer and more powerful than she thought:

"Is this your consciousness manifested in the dream? Although it looks the same as reality, I feel it is more... hard to describe than in reality."

She was a bit bolder in the dream:

"Now, can I hug you?"

She asked Xia De with a smile while swinging:

"I want to feel the temperature of your soul more deeply."

This was Xia De's purpose. So after Xia De nodded, the witch held the swing rope with both hands and let herself swing high. At the highest point, she smiled and let go, letting herself fly, and finally fell into Xia De's arms just right—this was a manifestation of having super-high control over the dream.

Consciousness made direct contact in the dream, and Xia De truly felt the soul power of Weige for the first time.

This opposition and unity of chaos and order was something the Outlander had never seen before. However, this was only a superficial characteristic of the soul; a certain special power deep within the soul actually gave her soul an extremely chaotic attribute.

Wei Ge's body exhibited characteristics that could cause disorder in those who touched her, and her soul took this characteristic to the extreme. Wei Ge was initially worried that this would affect Xia De, but fortunately, Xia De was still completely fine; what she felt was a reassuring warmth.

Falling into Xia De's embrace was like returning to the amniotic fluid, returning to that warmth at the very beginning of birth. She felt somewhat obsessed, but she did not dislike this feeling. She believed that any soul would be addicted to such warmth, and she was not a special case:

"His soul... scorching, gentle, I want to melt myself into it."

And when Xia De's perception delved deeper into the soul of the defenseless witch, he immediately felt the cause of Wei Ge's illness.

In the souls of normal Ringed Shushi, although the four elements are not perfectly balanced, the differences are not significant. Witches, however, have slightly stronger Whisper elements among the four due to some special factors. This was reflected even more thoroughly in Wei Ge's soul, but this was not because she was the "witch of witches," but because a part of her soul was derived from an external force before she was born.

"The power of the 【Emerald Tablet】!"

Upon contacting the power deep within the soul that had already become Wei Ge's essence, Xia De reached a conclusion almost immediately.

The power derived from an Unknowable-level relic was quite stable in Wei Ge's soul, supporting the existence of the soul together with the other essences that constituted it. It was just that the power originated from a relic after all, and its very existence made this soul unique. If this part of the essence were stripped away, then the remaining "Wei Ge Aster" would likely not be the "Wei Ge Aster" everyone knew.

Because Xia De had never come into contact with the 【Emerald Tablet】, he could not clearly explain what kind of power the influence caused by the relic belonged to.

【The opposition and unity of creation and decomposition.】

"She" whispered in Xia De's heart at this moment:

Its very existence was filth. Those pure black eyes attacked Xia De's soul directly through eye contact. This strike was enough to completely contaminate the souls of most mortals, but this time, nothing happened.

And after his powerful perception continued to investigate the part of the power that constituted Wei Ge's soul, he did not find any relic hidden within Wei Ge's soul. It seemed that Adele's examination and Wei Ge's own feelings were correct.

However, thinking that since there was an opportunity to investigate, it would be better to investigate deeper. He then almost abandoned all his other perceptions and poured all his perceptive power into the depths of the soul in his arms.

Wei Ge did not know what she was doing. When she noticed Xia De's intentions, she bit her lip shyly and then completely "opened" her soul to Xia De, letting Xia De feel the emotions deep in her heart at this moment.

Thus, in this situation, Xia De heard the deepest echoes of the witch Wei Ge Aster's heart. Passionate, bittersweet emotions surged into his heart; this was the voice from the depths of the soul, the most authentic thoughts and ideas.

Xia De did not expect to feel these things, but he could also understand that Wei Ge wanted to use this to express her feelings to him. While Xia De was moved and somewhat surprised, Wei Ge hugged Xia De even tighter, as if she really wanted to knead her soul into Xia De's soul, but this also allowed Xia De to almost completely touch the core of this defenseless soul.

Thus, amidst the echoes in the depths of Wei Ge's soul, Xia De suddenly heard another quite faint woman's voice.

That was not Wei Ge's own inner voice, and certainly not "She" in Xia De's heart. The strange voice used the Kaisenric language, and Xia De distinguished the content of the voice—

【As below, so above; as above, so below, to accomplish the miracle of the One.】

"Hmm?"

These words seemed to map the sentence directly into Xia De's soul. In that instant, Xia De felt he understood a quite profound truth. But when he tried to understand what he had understood, there was only this sentence echoing over and over in his empty head, until it forcibly bestowed upon his soul the power that Xia De had failed to understand immediately.

This was not a harmful power, so the Outlander's soul accepted it, and "She"'s voice appeared at this moment:

【Outlander, you have felt the "Whisper".】

【The rules of the world and the rules of humanity reflect each other; the mysteries of the human body and the stars of the heavens verify each other. Large is small, small is large; this is the rule of creation, this is the origin of creating life.】

【Outlander, you have listened to the words in the "Emerald Tablet", you have obtained the spell - Life Spark.】

【After casting, convert the target's life force into a spark and extract it from the target's body. If the life force is completely extracted, it will grant the target a traceless death. The extracted Life Spark can be bestowed upon oneself or others, and cannot exist for long.】

After a slight pause—

【Outlander, you have gained insight into "creating life".】

【When you listen to other sentences recorded in the "Emerald Tablet", you will definitely obtain the Whisper Spirit Rune - Life.】
