"Selinda!" Li Jia screamed as she looked at her beloved lying on the ground, and rushed into the room with Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen walked in front and got closer to see that both women were lying on their sides, their bodies slightly bent, their chests still rising and falling, but their faces were pale, their eyes were closed, their brows were furrowed, and their eyeballs were rolling around under their eyelids, as if they were having a nightmare. Nina's condition seemed to be worse than Serinda's, her lips were purple, and even her forehead and cheeks were blue. Li Jia leaned over and picked up Serinda, half holding her in his arms, but no matter how he shouted or pinched her philtrum, she didn't respond.
"How could this happen? What, what is going on?" Li Jia asked in panic while shaking Serinda.
Xiao Chen glanced around and saw an unknown magic circle in front of him. His suitcase was open on the side and the "Shadow Scroll of the Sea of Consciousness" fell to the ground with its pages spread out.
"We have to ask it." Xiao Chen said.
Sure enough, a line of words appeared in the "Shadow Scroll of the Sea of Consciousness" in front of him:
The meditation world composition has failed, please ask the ritual master to come in and repair it.
"Could it be that Serinda couldn't help it..." Li Jia said softly.
"It's obvious." Xiao Chen said, "Go and call people first. Ask Shi Hao, Luo Jie and the others to bring weapons and seal off this room. No one except our own people is allowed to enter."
"And the Count?"
"Stop it anyway. We need to first understand the seriousness of the matter. Besides, you also know how dangerous the Sea of Consciousness Shadow Scroll is."
Li Jia nodded. Although he was confused at the moment, he understood in an instant that the danger Xiao Chen mentioned had at least three meanings. First, it was related to the secret of the Dream Tower. This secret had already involved the feud between the magician and the God, and if one was not careful, it would cost many lives. Second, as a valuable treasure, it would definitely attract many people's attention. Even the Earl's daughter, Serinda, who was about to be engaged to him, would go to great lengths to peek at the book, let alone other people? Third, it would hurt people who were not qualified to read it. If the Earl insisted on reading the book, I'm afraid the ending would not be much better than Serinda's.
Li Jia gently put Serinda on the ground, turned around and ran to call for help.
Xiao Chen placed his hand on the page. As the host of the ceremony, he had entered the Sea of Consciousness Shadow Scroll many times in the past few days. Soon he felt the scenery in front of him change, and he was floating on the sea of all worlds again.
The white ball of light above his head still illuminated the entire world. The book spirit quickly flew down from the ball of light and stood in front of him.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, Mr. Shuling."
"What's going on? How come low-level mages and ordinary people came in?" The captain walked towards Xiao Chen, looking unhappy. "If you hadn't shown up, I would have thought you had lost the Scroll of Consciousness and let it fall into the hands of some idiots."
"Someone has indeed read this book, but they are not my enemies. I still have to find a way to save them." Xiao Chen said.
"Two stupid women, one is a mid-level mage with very poor talent, and the other has never received any magic training. She is completely an ordinary person. They are courting death." The book spirit snorted coldly, "This kind of thing has happened before. Even people with much stronger talents than them cannot withstand the "Shadow Scroll of the Sea of Consciousness". Either their mental power collapsed when organizing the meditation space, or they fell into the trap of the meditation space and lost consciousness. Most of these people died in the end."
"Most of them died... In other words, some people were saved, right?"
"Yes, but this requires a powerful host to intervene. But it is very different from Mao Kai's situation last time. If Mao Kai completed 90% of the work, the remaining 10% was left for you to repair. That ordinary woman was lucky to have completed 5% of the meditation world. Saving her is like asking you to create a world out of thin air. The situation of the intermediate mage is slightly better. Her mental power has been reconstructed. Although she has formed a meditation space, her main consciousness has been hurt." The book spirit pointed to the two light balls in the sea of all worlds. One is just a flickering light point, much smaller than the other floating and sinking light balls. The other is an irregular and indescribable mass of things, "and both of them have fallen into a coma. To save two people like that, it is not enough to provide power from the outside. You must enter their meditation world, which is very dangerous."
“I want to give it a try!”
"Then come on, follow me to your meditation world. I must see how strong you are."
"Are we just going to leave those two women alone?"
The book spirit waved his hands and said, "How can you save them if you don't understand your abilities?"
———————————
Xiao Chen's island is bigger, with more trees and a small hill in the middle. The pier that was swallowed by the huge waves last time is now more neat, and the passenger ship is quietly docked at the pier. The area around the island, about one or two kilometers, is now calm, but looking into the distance, the ocean outside is still turbulent and the waves are surging. Xiao Chen's island is like a secret place in this crazy world.
The two stood on the beach, and Xiao Chen asked, "How about it, can I do it?"
The book spirit said, "Logically speaking, with your level as a mid-level mage, you are not qualified to repair a meditation world like that. But I found that you actually controlled such a large area in just a few months, and even conjured up small islands and docks out of thin air, creating such a piece of pure land in this violent sea. This makes this possible."
"Is there anything strange about this?" Xiao Chen asked, "I found that after I controlled the sea water and air here, I could change their forms. So, I used the sea water to create islands, trees and other things. This way I can feel more comfortable in this chaotic world. I don't think it's difficult."
"Not difficult? Most magicians just try their best to control the existing things in their meditation world. Stronger magicians can devote some energy to eliminate the harmful or difficult-to-control parts of their subconscious. Who has the time like you to change the properties of matter in this world? This is already in the realm of creation." The captain picked up a handful of sand from the ground and crushed it in his hands. The sand floated down sparsely, some of it floated onto his pants, and some floated onto the sand. He exclaimed twice, and then said: "Look at this sand, it looks like the real thing. It just proves the saying in your world, 'The devil is in the details'."
Seeing Xiao Chen's puzzled look, he explained, "When most magicians form a meditation world, the world is composed of the things they are most familiar with. But if you want to change the appearance of things, you need to make a lot of observations in the real world and spend a lot of time and energy in this world to make things 'similar'. For example, the sand here, although each grain is basically the same, it already has the feel of sand, and when it falls, it already has the trajectory of the wind. How much more effort does it take to turn seawater into particles that look like sand than to directly manipulate the seawater? For most magicians, this is a thankless task."
Xiao Chen said: "They don't spend all day in the huge waves, right? Then they naturally have no motivation to change. Besides, I don't feel it's very hard."
"So they prefer to use the world formed by their talents. If the world is a volcano, they use fire; if the world is a lake, they use water." The book spirit frowned and thought for a while, then said, "I remembered something very interesting. When I explored your surface consciousness, I found that the amount of images in your mind was more than a hundred times that of the previous Dream Tower magicians."
"You mean, this will help me change the world?"
"Of course! People of your time saw a lot and observed a lot. Let's do an experiment. You make a chair!"
Chair? Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and grabbed the air. A ball of seawater on the beach was pulled in front of him, forming a water ball with a diameter of about one meter in the air. Xiao Chen concentrated on the water ball and pulled it with both hands in the air. The water ball was pulled out like a piece of plasticine to form a chair back and four legs. When the shape of the chair was almost the same, Xiao Chen pressed his hands, the water splashed away, and a chair with a backrest fell on the sand. It looked like it was made of solid wood.
"Very good!" The captain came over and touched the chair, then sat down on it. "I roughly calculated that your ability to create objects in your meditation space is probably more than ten times that of an ordinary magician, at least half the level of the 'Creator' Li Haoran. No wonder you were able to create an island in such a short time."
"Then?"
The captain stood up, walked over and patted Xiao Chen on the shoulder and said, "This shows that although you didn't lay a good foundation for cultivation, and there was a small problem when you first turned the book, which made your world very manic, you are still a genius! In order to change the violent meditation world, you had to cultivate a strong creation ability. You can be regarded as a blessing in disguise."
"What's the difference between me and them?" Xiao Chen asked.
The captain walked back to the chair, tapped it for a while, and then said, "I have an example. The creation of things is like using computers to make 3D animations in your world. The higher the detail requirements and the more grand the scene, the more difficult it is to create the animation, and the higher the requirements for the machine. But look at you! You have very strong graphics computing capabilities, a large library of materials, and good drawing software. Although your computer often crashes and gets viruses due to inherent reasons, it is still much better than those small notebooks, right? So they can only be used to watch movies, but you can use it to make movies. This is the difference!"
"You use our words very well."
"I am now an expert on the Earth. Your classmate Li Jia's ability to create things should not be too bad. As long as you have this ability, the possibility of saving people will be much greater. The ability of spiritual creation can also play a role in other people's meditation worlds, so you can repair and transform their meditation worlds."
