Chapter 3947

"Spell: Life Spark? Does this refer to a normal life spark... Why is it Life, not Creation? And, why would another voice exist in the depths of Wei Ge's soul?"

Xia De was very surprised, while the witch, who continued to feel the power and temperature of Xia De's great soul, did not know what Xia De had discovered from her soul.

Her unique soul structure made her essentially different from normal people. The influence of the 【Emerald Tablet】's power caused her soul to be in a chaotic spiral for a long time, and after coming into contact with Xia De's soul, she actually had a feeling that she had returned to her mother's embrace...

She had a feeling that Xia De's soul was forcibly infecting her own soul, causing her own soul to briefly return to order.

So even as the master of the dream, she did not notice Xia De's change in mood at the first moment. She took a deep breath—although this was meaningless in the dream, she still relied on this action to absorb the soul light scattered when Xia De's soul interacted with the world.

She felt that she was somewhat addicted; the depths of her soul were craving more, craving to devour the soul in front of her, or to let herself merge with it. That was the instinctual craving of a lower being for a higher existence, the longing of an imperfect being for a "flawless soul". But when Wei Ge's consciousness was somewhat blurred because of this, Xia De took the initiative to ask:

"Did your mother really find the 'Emerald Tablet' before she passed away?"

Wei Ge realized that she seemed to have lost her composure, because she found herself buried in Xia De's arms as if she wanted to burrow into them.

The blushing witch immediately escaped from Xia De's embrace, but having lost the temperature of Xia De's soul, she subconsciously felt a deep sense of loss again.

"I don't know. Everything I know, I learned from relatives, alchemists, and the notes my mother left behind. My mother passed away after giving birth to me."

She glanced at Xia De; just staring at him made her almost bury herself in his arms again. However, Wei Ge also noticed Xia De's strange expression:

"Could it be that the 'Emerald Tablet' is really inside my body?"

Xia De shook his head immediately:

"That shouldn't be the case, but I heard a voice that didn't belong to you from your soul echoes, and the other party recited a sentence from the 'Emerald Tablet'."

Wei Ge pursed her lips, resisting the attraction of that soul:

"How do you know that's a sentence from the 'Emerald Tablet'? Have you read that book?"

Xia De also blinked:

"Yeah, how do I know that's a sentence from the 'Emerald Tablet'?"

【Because the relic power felt from the sentence belongs to the Whisper elements of the "Emerald Tablet".】

"Because the relic power felt from the sentence belongs to the Whisper elements of the 'Emerald Tablet' in your soul."

Xia De explained:

"That sentence itself has power. I don't know how it appeared in your soul. Perhaps your mother left it behind on purpose, or perhaps it's the influence of the accident back then."

Wei Ge then asked again:

"What was that sentence?"

Xia De said it out loud:

"It goes like this—As below, so above; as above, so below, to accomplish the miracle of the One. Hmm?"

In the study on the second floor of the Fragrant Residence, Xia De opened his eyes at once. The power of the dream master forcibly ejected him from the dream.

At this time, the sound of bells and steam whistles had already reached his ears. He climbed up and took a look; Wei Ge was floating in the air in a daze, and that eleven-ring fate ring appeared behind her.

At this moment, the fate ring was spinning rapidly, but Xia De still saw Wei Ge's core spirit runes. Like Xia De, she possessed two core spirit runes—

【Chaos】 【Secret】

She was clearly engraving a new spirit rune, but she was in a dazed state at this moment, which was obviously not right.

Black-iron-colored spirit light was dissipating on the fate ring. The intensity of the Whisper elements Wei Ge was exhibiting at this time was no longer just engraving a spirit rune; she was clearly on the verge of losing control.

"Mr. Watson!"

Miss MacDonald, who was standing to the side, shouted nervously, and Xia De had already stood up and held the witch floating in the air in his arms. His powerful soul, containing divinity, forcibly channeled the surging elements and spirit for her. Then, Xia De used a miracle he hadn't used yet this year—

"Miracle: Spirit Spring Revelation!"

This was the power given to him by the Archangel when Xia De sought help for the "Strange Tree Academy" affair. Dabbing a drop of water on the brow of a humanoid creature could calm the mind and enlighten wisdom; it was the spirit rune corresponding to 【Water of Wisdom】.

And this time, when Xia De cast the spell, he bit his own finger and dabbed his own blood on Wei Ge's brow.

Doing this was quite effective; the rippling divine light suppressed the riotous Whisper elements. Although the fate ring behind the witch was still spinning at high speed, the black-iron-colored spirit light gradually calmed down, and Wei Ge, who was being held by Xia De, also opened her confused eyes.

A moment later, when the speed of the fate ring returned to normal, an extra Whisper rune—【Creation】—had appeared on her fate ring.

"Teacher!"

Miss MacDonald walked over worriedly. Xia De wanted to let go of Wei Ge, but the witch held onto him and was unwilling to let go:

"I heard it too..."

She said softly, slightly raising her head in Xia De's arms to look at him. Xia De saw nostalgia and doubt in those golden eyes:

"That was Mother's voice. Although I had never heard it, I can be certain that it was Mother's voice! I can feel that sentence came directly from the 'Emerald Tablet'! It wasn't something Mother read from somewhere else! Mother really had seen the original 'Emerald Tablet'! She really had obtained that relic!"

It was clear that Wei Ge was somewhat excited, but more than that, she was puzzled. Before this, she had never believed the 【Emerald Alchemy Society】's claim that "your mother found the relic but hid it and studied it secretly," but the facts proved that those alchemists seemed to have been right.

But she also couldn't be sure whether this sentence was left behind by her mother on purpose, or if it existed in her soul because of an accident.

If she hadn't completely opened her soul to Xia De, if Xia De's perception hadn't been extremely powerful, and if he hadn't been able to repeat this sentence directly in front of her, with the level of concealment that even Adele hadn't been able to discover, Wei Ge would probably have had to wait until she achieved the status of a thirteenth-tier witch to hear this sentence hidden deep in her soul.

The appearance of the 【Creation】 spirit rune certainly didn't make her condition better; on the contrary, the agitation of the four elements just now made her even weaker at this moment, but 【Creation】 was undoubtedly a powerful force.

When Wei Ge was finally willing to let go of Xia De, she drank a mouthful of blood brew to temporarily recover some strength, and then demonstrated her gains to Xia De and Miss MacDonald:

"It's about like this."

As Wei Ge said this, she touched the teacup on the coffee table with her hand, and the teacup actually turned into pure gold bit by bit.

"Alchemy?"

The young lady asked, but Wei Ge shook her head:

"No, *cough cough*, not alchemy. I can now forcibly transform the material of an object at the cost of consuming spirit and my own life force. It might not be very effective on living beings with souls, but it should be able to transform ordinary objects. *Cough cough*, *cough cough*, but the consumption is huge. Manufacturing gold in this way, *cough cough*, *cough cough*, is really not cost-effective."

Although neither Xia De nor Miss MacDonald were alchemy masters, they could both understand what this power meant.

"You stop talking for now and get some rest. But can a single sentence from the Unknowable-level relic 'Emerald Tablet' really allow you to possess this level of power?"

Xia De helped Wei Ge sit down on the sofa. Even after drinking the blood brew, her state at this moment was still very poor:

"I think what echoes in my soul is probably not just one sentence. The part of the power that constitutes my soul is a rubbing of the original sentence of the 'Emerald Tablet', reflecting the essential power of the Unknowable-level relic. *Cough cough*, *cough cough*, Mother, oh Mother, what exactly did you do? Mother..."

Until Xia De left the Fragrant Residence, he was still pondering Wei Ge's words. What Wei Ge needed most now was rest. She fell into a deep sleep amidst groans, so after Xia De sent her back to the bedroom and conducted a further examination, confirming that she was now only suffering from severe mental damage, he left after instructing Miss Lorin and Miss MacDonald to take good care of her.

Too many things happened this Monday afternoon. The explosion at the 【Creation Sect】 cathedral and the appearance of that giant "Source of Spark" should have been the biggest events. Xia De did not expect that he would discover such a major secret from Wei Ge's soul again.

"Wei Ge obtained 【Creation】, and if I listen to other sentences, I can obtain 【Life】. Could the 'Emerald Tablet' really be content written by an Ancient God himself? And what exactly did Wei Ge's mother do?"

However, although his thoughts were numerous, he did not go home immediately, but instead headed to the Gear Workshop in the Outer City to find Mr. Finch, as they had agreed that morning.

Originally, Xia De was going to confirm from Mr. Finch in the evening whether the 【Creation Sect】 was really researching the "Life Spark," but now Xia De didn't need to confirm this at all; what Mr. Finch knew was probably not as much as Xia De.

When he got off the carriage, Xia De was still thinking about how to explain what he had "seen" to Mr. Finch in a while, but when he arrived at the shop, the young apprentice told Xia De:

"Mr. Finch came back an hour ago. He left a letter for you and left in a hurry."

The content of the letter was not long. Mr. Finch said in the letter that he had confirmed Xia De's guess from the morning and suspected that the big explosion in the afternoon was related to this. It was just that after visiting a friend at the church, he encountered other acquaintances on the way back and was then involved in the refugee disappearance accident in the Outer City, so he asked Xia De to come back here to find him tomorrow, and he would talk to Xia De in detail then.

"Are there refugees missing locally?"

Xia De asked the young apprentice. The other party looked only fifteen or sixteen years old and was a local of Arcadia, but not a Ringed Shushi.
