Wizard's Journey

Chapter 150 Dimensional Gap

Ok?

Green stared in astonishment at the rift between reality and illusion. Was this his talent for communicating between dimensions?

Time seemed to slow down, and Green's thinking began to become somewhat sluggish.

As for the parrot that was screaming for its rescue in the illusion, it was just a distorted children's drawing. It looked somewhat familiar, but Green only regarded it as a strange phenomenon from his first test of mental power and did not pay much attention to it.

Green glanced around at the small house, which was almost completely melted. Juice dripped from the furniture and fell into the air, while the surrounding walls distorted and remained still.

The dizziness and headache were getting worse, but Green didn't see any of the strange phenomena he had experienced during his first mental power test. This puzzled Green, so he turned his gaze back to the rift between reality and illusion, hoping to see something strange again to determine the specific function of his talent for communicating with dimensional gaps.

Green's gaze went beyond the illusory handkerchief and into the deeper part of the crack.

Rumble!

After an irregular ripple deep within the twisted and unstable fissure, a huge opening appeared from the depths of the fissure, followed by a magnificent bone serpent that seemed to connect mountain ranges, emerging from the fissure. If calculated by Green's normal realistic thinking, the diameter of that distant bone serpent was definitely no less than that of a Tyrannosaurus Rex, and even longer.

What a behemoth this is!

The bone snake suddenly opened its mouth, and countless small green beetles surged out. At the same time, the bone snake itself began to collapse, turning into countless beetles.

Overall, it seemed as if the bone snake was composed of countless beetles, or perhaps these beetles instantly devoured the bone snake from the inside; Green couldn't be sure.

Even at this moment, Green felt his thinking was somewhat halting and sluggish, and simple reasoning and guessing seemed to have become the most difficult thing at this moment.

Each beetle suddenly emitted a cry similar to that of a newborn human child, clear and loud, yet they all seemed terrified of Grimm, fleeing deeper into the dimensional rift.

Green didn't know...

At this moment, in the eyes of these dimensional gap monsters, the sky seemed to have suddenly opened up a pitch-black crack of unknown length, and a giant eye was 'secretly' watching everything inside the bottle through the crack's mouth.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Suddenly, a colossal, twisted parrot-shaped handkerchief, resembling a child's drawing, appeared where the beetles were. With a few stomps, it crushed the seemingly endless beetles, turning them into wisps of green smoke that entered the parrot's mouth. Then, the parrot yelled at Grimm, "Little wizard, quickly give me your primordial soul fire! Don't mistake your Eighth Master for these low-dimensional reptiles!"

The primal fire of the soul, uh?

Green was stunned. This parrot was so powerful in the dimensional gap world?

However, the so-called Primal Soul Fire is the fundamental fire that transforms a wizard's soul, the source of the wizard's soul's self-growth and sublimation. A soul slave subdued with the Primal Soul Fire will form a partnership with the wizard, much like Peranos and Hega, or Arowoz and the red-eyed frog.

Once a wizard possesses a primitive soul slave, the death of that soul slave will result in the wizard permanently losing the opportunity for soul growth.

Therefore, most wizards will never unleash their primal soul fire.

Of course, releasing the primordial soul fire also has its advantages, namely, gaining some of the soul slave's abilities while having a chance to reincarnate and coexist! In simpler terms, the wizard will share a body with his soul slave until death.

Based on Green's speculation about Solem's immortality, it is highly likely that Solem is living in symbiosis with a strange creature that possesses such abilities.

Moreover, it is quite possible that this symbiotic organism is some extremely rare and special creature from dimensional gaps or mysticism, and may even have some potential relationship with Solangm, which led to this situation under some coincidence.

Let's not talk about these things.

After a moment of stunned silence, Green immediately gave the parrot a sneer.

A creature from a fictional world, a monster that would never interact with the endless world, is actually asking me for the primordial soul fire?

Green once borrowed an ancient book from Robin, which mentioned that some ancient wizards had already discovered the existence of dimensional worlds. Although the wizards at that time did not have a specific understanding of dimensional worlds, one thing was certain: two different dimensional worlds could never have any interaction unless they actively entered a mysterious space called a dimensional gap.

As for what dimensional gaps are, even the ancient wizards' understanding could not provide an answer.

Therefore, although Green was completely clueless about his own talent, one thing was certain: a being in a dimensional gap could never be of any use to him, and even the so-called knowledge he could exchange with the very few beings in the dimensional gap who could communicate with his mind was completely useless in the rules of the endless world.

Do you really expect the crickets in the box to teach you the fighting techniques they've mastered?

At this, Green couldn't help but scoff, "You parrot..."

"Damn it! Your Eighth Master isn't some lowly, filthy, stupid parrot creature from the wizarding world. Your Eighth Master is the most orthodox and noblest bloodline of the steel-crowned myna in the wizarding world!" The child's drawing of a parrot on the handkerchief screamed like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

Uh, the Steel Emblem Myna from the Wizarding World?

If it's not a dimensional interstellar being, what's going on?

Green was somewhat incredulous, but after thinking about it for a while with his slow-witted mind, he suddenly realized that for some reason, in this distorted spacetime, he always forgot some things about the real world, and was more likely to accept certain bizarre things in the illusory world.

This can be seen from the mental strength test conducted back then.

When using this talent, one's reaction time slows down considerably, making it easier to accept strange things that defy conventional thinking.

At that moment, Green suddenly remembered.

Didn't I get a handkerchief from Ice Age Millie? I clearly remembered this all the time in reality, but it's only now, after seeing this 'parrot' for so long, that I've remembered it.

Why is that?

Leaving aside Grimm's confused state of mind, the Steel-Emblem Myna in the dimensional rift on the other side was getting anxious, shouting, "What are you standing there for, little guy! With your limited experience of just becoming a formal wizard, how much memory do you have to pry open this dimensional rift? Give me your primordial soul fire, and I'll give you all the dimensional knowledge that old bastard made me memorize!"

His body jolted, and Green asked somewhat blankly, "Memory pried open a dimensional rift? What is a dimensional rift?"

"Imagination space!"

Just after the Steel Emblem Myna screamed out the words "Imagination Space," a cluster of soul fire appeared.

Green has no experience in subduing soul slaves, and the intensity of the split soul fire he possesses at this moment is far from sufficient to subdue creatures with excessively high levels of physique, soul, intelligence, mental strength, and energy.

However, it would be a different story if an intelligent being were willing to become Grimm's soul slave.

"Hahaha! I'm finally free! I don't have to drift in this disgusting virtual world anymore. I can finally, I can, I can... Waaah..." On Green's shoulder, a beautiful red and green creature about twenty centimeters long appeared.

This creature had indeed become a physical life form in the endless world. After excitedly screaming for a moment in the human language of the wizarding world, it suddenly burst into tears.

A standard set of human thought and emotions.

Green's face paled, and with another wave of his hand, the dimensional rift closed.

Glug, glug...

Almost everything in 'Grimm's Hut' had melted away. After Grimm closed the dimensional rift with a wave of his hand, he rubbed his slightly dizzy head, panting, and looked at the steel-emblazoned myna bird on his shoulder, asking, "You said earlier that the dimensional rift was a space of imagination, what's this all about?"

"Waaah... Because of you, Eighth Master, I found Venus, the goddess of love, in the endless years of the dimensional gap, proving that old bastard's guess was correct." The Steel Emblem Myna said excitedly, choking with emotion.

Venus, the goddess of love?

At this moment, Green certainly wouldn't believe that the Venus mentioned by the steel-emblemed myna was the perfume he invented.

The so-called "Venus, the Goddess of Love" is actually a legendary novel that is most widely circulated in the Wizarding Continent. It tells the story of a beautiful female knight who grows up in order to resurrect her lover.

The story ends with Venus becoming the goddess of love, breaking free from the rules of the paladins of that world, and transcending to a higher divine realm, thus concluding the story.

However, at this very moment, the steel-embroidered myna bird claims that it has found Venus in the dimensional gap!

This……

Could it be that……

The so-called low-dimensional space is the low-dimensional book world imagined and created by all living beings in the endless world?

The so-called dimensional gaps are the gathering places where the most powerful beings in lower-dimensional worlds attempt to escape from lower-dimensional worlds and cross over to higher-dimensional worlds.

Because "they" were no longer content with the low-dimensional world within the books, and wanted to reach the high-dimensional world where the gods who created their world resided, "they" surpassed the highest level that the low-dimensional world could withstand, successfully breaking free from the boundaries of the books' rules.

Since "they" have exceeded the limits of the book's rules, the book's author will no longer use the rules of their work to describe any situation involving "them," and thus "they" have reached the limits of the imagination of readers like Grimm?

And the imaginative boundaries of Greene's readers... are what is known as the dimensional gap?

Steel Emblem Myna's excitement gradually subsided. He turned to look at Green and said slowly, "As the little rascal wizard who pulled me out of the dimensional rift, the old rascal wizard asked me to pass on a message to you."

Beneath the pale mask, Green's eyes twitched. He suppressed the urge to rip the myna bird open and strangle it with its intestines, and said grimly, "What did you say?"

"In the endless world, it will never be possible for a true level nine True Spirit Grand Wizard to appear!" Steel Emblem Myna said decisively.

Green, pale-faced and breathing heavily, asked, "Why?"

The so-called Ninth-Level True Spirit Grand Wizard is the highest dream realm in the wizarding concept.

That represents a qualitative leap in the wizarding philosophy, a leap even greater than the combined leaps from a wizarding apprentice to a true spirit wizard.

It is said that after an eighth-level True Spirit Wizard breaks through to the ninth-level True Spirit Grand Wizard, he can only stay in the Endless World for the time it takes to circumnavigate an hourglass before he is sublimated into a higher level of life, and from then on he will have no further connection with the lower-level life forms in the Endless World.

It is precisely because a level nine True Spirit Grand Wizard once appeared in the history of the Wizarding World that the Wizarding World has an hourglass timer!

An hourglass is equal to two natural hours. In the wizarding world, one cycle of the sun and moon is considered a day, which is equal to twenty-four natural hours. One hour is equal to sixty minutes of a mechanical wizard's gear clock completing one revolution.

These are also among the unique fundamental rules of the wizarding world.

As for why one of the fundamental rules of the wizarding world is this way, that's beyond Grimm's comprehension.

Steel Emblem Myna said in a low voice, "Because, before that old bastard decided to pry open the lever of fate, he said that as long as I, Eighth Master, find his favorite Venus in the dimensional gap, he will be able to grant my wish."

"To leverage fate!?"

Green's eyes widened beneath his pale mask, and he repeated it, letting out a startled cry.

Ignoring Grimm's exclamation, the Steel-Emblem Myna calmly said, "And my wish, Eighth Master, is to become that old bastard's master. And now... I truly sense that old bastard's presence; he has become the communication material for all wizarding mysticism, namely, Venus, the goddess of love in the endless world!"

………………

Important notes:

In the Wizarding World biographical novel "Venus," after Venus became a goddess and resurrected her lover, she ascended to a higher level of divine space. At the end of the main story, the protagonist Venus no longer appears.

In the end, her resurrected lover built a church for her and became the high priest of the church. Other lower-ranking priests could obtain the protection of the god of love through devout prayer and become the combat profession of divine messenger.

These are the rules of the story...

From the perspective of a wizard, the so-called deity Ainas is not so much a sublimation into a deity, but rather a higher-level rule, an energy borrowing point for those priests and divine messengers, or a kind of levelless magical material.
