I am a witch, I must suppress all enemies

Claire stood on a barren land.

To build a strong base, you first need to establish everyone's responsibilities and positions.

She summoned her companions, including the Miracle Witch Beren, the Lord of the Night Sky Raziel and his four guardian knights, as well as the Fire Knight Sheila, the Second Holy King Arya and the Elf Frillian.

Claire, with over 300 magicians under her command

The second generation Holy King Arya, with Pastor Reed, Holy Knight Bruce, and more than 200 Holy Knights under her command.

There are more than 500 people in total.

Claire assigned the task of building the base to the gloomy old Reed.

This guy is old and experienced and can coordinate everyone.

So around the tower of Bafenni, the construction of the base was in full swing.

Because there are many magicians, some materials can be refined by just taking soil.

Soon, the solid and majestic castle was completed, followed by the towering wizard tower.

According to Claire's idea, as the base gradually expands, it can also form a prosperous town.

Then comes everyone's task.

Arya and Beren naturally learned the basics of magic by themselves.

Raziel and her four guardian knights were responsible for the defense of the base, recruiting magicians and developing a defensive magic formation.

Although Xila was confused about the Taixu Daojing, her fighting skills were unmatched among the adventurers.

The training of the knights was left to her, and she could also teach them breathing techniques to increase their combat power.

As for the elf Fulilian?

Well, this elf is still very useless at the moment, so let her learn some magic from me.

All in all, the busy construction was completed in just one month.

Looking at the castle covered with magical runes, Claire sighed.

"Finally, I have a place to stay."

Then send a magician to the capital of Lagnia to inform Prince Klaus.

"Claire...why don't you bring the people from the village here? My parents and Uncle Lin will be worried." Arya said worriedly.

Claire said "Ouch" and said with shame.

"My heart was too wild, and I forgot about the affairs of the village. But this matter must be sent to the Paladins. They should sneak across the border and kill them."

So Claire called Bruce over and ordered him to do this. He was a powerful saint-level being, and Claire had taught him a lot. Now he was no weaker than the so-called national swordsman.

As a former paladin, he would definitely not be exposed if he went to such a small place.

As for the Unrestrained Saint Son in the Holy Church, I probably won't encounter him...

After a few more days, everything was in order.

Claire leaped into the air and flew towards the uninhabited area further north. Standing on the top of the extremely cold mountain, she had a new realization, which naturally startled many people.

Raziel and others felt the extremely strong aura and rushed over there quickly, but were blocked by the aura.

"Why doesn't Claire let us go in and take a look?"

Raziel said solemnly, "It seems we have entered a critical period."

It turns out that ever since Claire established this Witch Paradise, she has felt a sense of "responsibility" in her heart, but she often asks herself whether this goes against the meaning of freedom.

Her mind had originally entered a state of freedom, but now that she had doubts about herself, her state became unstable.

On this extremely cold peak, Claire's aura burned like a flame, quickly melting the thousand-year-old ice beneath her feet. Mist then rose and the water became vast.

Slowly, there was a feeling of being shrouded in clouds and mist.

Claire looked solemn and remained silent.

She expanded her spirit, used her mind's eyes to penetrate countless obstacles, and then watched the countless creatures in the world with cold eyes.

I suddenly felt bored and had the illusion of transcending all living beings and enlightening the world.

But then a call slowly came.

Arya's worried voice came from outside the seal.

But she remained unmoved.

He just sat there silently, absorbing the light of the sun, moon and stars, and feeling the mystery of this world.

As her spirit "breathed," a tripod suddenly leaped out of her sea of consciousness and floated above Claire's head.

Countless stars of all sizes are rotating rapidly inside the cauldron.

The seed was actually absorbed by the giant starry sky cauldron and occupied the center position inside!

As Claire gained insights, the entire sky dimmed. No, it was more like the stars shone brightly, their rays obscuring the sunlight!

"No! She has already isolated herself from the outside world. Your voice can't get in!" Xila saw through the trick and became very anxious.

"Claire actually wanted to merge the several techniques she had cultivated into that cauldron, achieving the ultimate leap and reaching the level of self-determination!"

Sheila was a little dazed.

The exotic weapon refining methods recorded in the Taixu Daojing are similar to the methods of refining life weapons in the magical path.

But the former is a weapon that requires one's heart and soul and principles, and the emphasis is on the weapon. If the weapon is destroyed, it is not a big deal for the person.

The latter is the embodiment of the practitioner's spirit.

Once the life weapon is destroyed, the practitioner will suffer a serious blow!

Claire was even more extreme.

Originally, her life weapon only incorporated the witch's law and the power of the stars. This was nothing, as the witch's law and the power of the stars did not conflict with each other.

Now she actually wanted to put all the paths into it, refine them, and complete the unity of "true self as one" and "freedom and self-determination".

Exotic cultivation methods, magic, star-drawing techniques, and holy light secrets.

If she succeeds, she will probably be able to achieve "great freedom".

Xila was stunned for a moment, which meant that Claire was only one step away from the Heavenly Gate.

Great freedom, then ascend to the gate of heaven and reach the level of ancient gods and dragons.

"She took too much of a risk. Now she can only rely on herself to comprehend her inner thoughts."

There's nothing anyone can do to stop this.

This is what spiritual practice is like. You cannot make a mistake at any step, otherwise you will regress instead of progress and there will be no hope of seeking the truth.

Meanwhile, Claire was struggling with the relationship between freedom and responsibility.

If we abandon our responsibilities and pursue freedom, what should we do?

If the world is meaningless, what is the point of freedom?

It is better to say that nihilism proves the free nature of human beings. Freedom is the fundamental attribute and way of existence of human beings. Human existence means human freedom.

Human freedom will cause anxiety, and the fundamental reason is the opening up of nihilistic freedom.

The key to overcoming this anxiety is self-creation and generation.

This process is one of self-realization and self-transcendence, in which the spirit constantly challenges its own limitations and boundaries and pursues its own freedom and responsibility.

In other words, only under the guidance of one's own freedom and sense of responsibility can one truly achieve self-transcendence and self-realization and find the value and meaning of one's existence.

"Freedom and responsibility are one and the same. I chose this responsibility, so I am free!"
