Witch Special

Noticing the panic in Lin Zhenxi's eyes, Yanyan let go of Lin Zhenxi's face and said, "Zhi, calm down, meow. It's okay, just feel it with your heart, meow."

With Yanyan's comfort, Lin Zhenxi's extreme anxiety about whether she was completely paralyzed was slightly relieved. She closed her eyes and used her mental power to perceive her own situation.

As soon as he switched to the inner vision, Lin Zhenxi knew where his problem lay. Moreover, it seemed that he could understand why this situation had occurred.

Because her mental strength has now expanded to an uncontrollable level, just like a balloon that has been filled with excessive gas, the balloon will inevitably be blown completely open and become tense everywhere.

Fortunately, Lin Zhenxi's mental power was just mental power, without any physical properties. If her mental power had a physical form, her body would have been blown apart by the overexpanded mental power within her.

The limits of this world's growth seemed to only encompass the realm of mental power, unable to extend deeper into the soul. During the previous process of opening up the world, Lin Zhenxi's spirit had withstood an overwhelming impact, and as a result, the mental strength issue that had plagued her before had been transformed from a weak point into the most prominent plank on the barrel, its strength reaching an incredible level.

While increasing the strength of one's mental power is a good thing, it's important to maintain a certain level of control over everything. Exceeding this limit is bound to lead to a loss of control. This is especially true for a mysterious power like mental power, which is supposed to originate from the soul.

Originally, the strength of the soul and the strength of mental power should be positively correlated. Soul strength determines the upper limit of mental power. The stronger the soul, the greater the mental power it can manipulate. Of course, this value can fluctuate. Normally, the growth of mental power cannot keep up with the speed of soul strengthening. This is because the strength of the soul is also stimulated by the mysteries. The higher the degree of mystery mastered, the stronger the soul will naturally be.

(PS: If one receives too high a level of mystery at once and the soul cannot adapt, the person may go crazy or even suffer physical deformation.)

The growth of mental strength is a very slow process. It is almost innate and only has something to do with age. No matter how much you train, you can only improve your proficiency in use, but it is difficult to increase the absolute strength.

If it weren't for this, Lin Zhenxi wouldn't have worried about the problem of insufficient mental strength before, because compared with those immortal species with a long life, Lin Zhenxi's life of more than 20 years was really too short, and the speed at which her own mysteriousness grew left the strength of her mental strength far behind.

But what about now? Under the constant mental pressure of pushing her to her limits, Lin Zhenxi's mental strength was increasing rapidly, but the strength of her soul had not increased accordingly. As a result, an insurmountable wall of mental power had appeared between her soul and body. No matter what instructions her mind issued, there was no way to bypass her spirit and transmit them to her body.

In fact, if her soul was not now protected by a mysterious guard, and the strength of the mysterious guard was not linked to the potential, she would have exploded by now.

It literally exploded, but it wasn't her body that exploded, but her soul, unable to control this immense mental power. Now, it was only because of the "company's" attention that provided her with a temporary boost in status that she was able to survive.

In other words, she must solve the problem of excessive mental power before returning, otherwise the moment she returns to the main world will be her death.

So, how do we release this expanding mental power?

Lin Zhenxi immediately thought of the spiritual power orb left behind by the spiritual power monster after its death. That object was the product of powerful spiritual power stabilizing in the material world. Beneath that hard outer shell lay nothing but ownerless spiritual power. Perhaps Lin Zhenxi could follow the same method used by that spiritual power orb and create a new orb outside of his body from his excess spiritual power.

This was much more convenient than the orb left behind by the spiritual power monster. The spiritual power in that orb was ownerless, so Lin Zhenxi could only slowly melt the spiritual power inside, draw it out from the orb, and integrate it into her own spiritual power. But the spiritual power in the spiritual power orb that Lin Zhenxi planned to create was entirely her own, which was equivalent to an external spiritual power pool. As long as she continued to improve her soul strength, sooner or later, she would be able to completely control the spiritual power in the orb that she had once been unable to control.

We must act immediately; this matter is indeed urgent.

Now those mental powers blocked the connection between Lin Zhenxi's consciousness and body, but they still obeyed Lin Zhenxi's command. It was just that their volume was too large for her to deploy. She could only mobilize a small amount of mental power first, letting it gather itself together to form a core.

In fact, Lin Zhenxi didn't know how to make spiritual power, which supposedly had no physical properties, into a sphere with a physical body. But seeing that the spiritual power monsters could preserve their spiritual power in the form of orbs even after death, this process shouldn't be difficult... right?

The thought of having to cross the river by feeling the stones again made Lin Zhenxi feel a little uneasy. However, she couldn't care less now. Unless Lin Zhenxi accepted the outcome of having to give up all the spiritual power she had worked so hard to obtain, she would have to make this excess spiritual power into a precious orb and preserve it.

The spiritual forces were relatively obedient. Lin Zhenxi commanded them to begin swirling inward around a point, and they immediately took action. However, as more and more spiritual forces joined the vortex, the materialization Lin Zhenxi hoped for never materialized. Instead, these spiritual forces formed something akin to a singularity. It was small in size, but the amount of spiritual power stored within it was astonishing. Lin Zhenxi began to worry about what would happen if it exploded.

If it could be stabilized, it wouldn't be a problem, but it doesn't have a set limit. Mental power is also a type of energy, and as energy, it has the property of increasing entropy. If no one takes care of it, it will eventually explode.

Where is my materialized boundary? Where is it? Come out to me!

Just when Lin Zhenxi began to worry again, she suddenly felt that there seemed to be an extra "space" inside the mental singularity that she had created, and something could be used to fill it.

What is this? A hole? I'll stick my head in there and take a look.

Anyone who becomes a special envoy must have a strong sense of adventure. Furthermore, Lin Zhenxi is a witch who spends most of her time exploring her own path. If she hadn't dared to try anything new, she certainly wouldn't have achieved what she has today. After all, this is the environment inside her body, and it can't get any worse than it is now. What else does she have to fear?

Adhering to the spirit of living as long as he is alive, Lin Zhenxi directly probed his consciousness into the empty space at the center of the singularity, wanting to see what was inside.

Then Lin Zhenxi broke apart...

To be more precise, she felt like she was being torn apart. Within her body, besides her own dominant consciousness, a parallel consciousness emerged, also identifying itself as Lin Zhenxi.

What’s even more bizarre is that this newly emerged parallel consciousness can communicate with Lin Zhenxi’s true self.

"Who are you?" Lin Zhenxi's ego asked.

"I'm Lin Zhenxi. What about you?" the parallel consciousness answered.

"I am Lin Maki. Why are you also Lin Maki?" This is the ego.

"Because I am you. I was born from you, I know everything about you and can do everything you can do." This is parallel consciousness.

"Then...will you obey me, or will you fight with me for control of your body?" I asked worriedly, pulling out a knife and preparing to attack.

"Of course not. You are my root. You can erase or reset me, but I don't think you need to do that. I can help you deal with things that you don't have time to deal with, such as managing this part of your mental power. If you erase me, the burden of this part of your mental power will be borne by your original self again. Your efforts will be in vain." The parallel consciousness said, and began to gather the mental power in his singularity.

Lin Zhenxi soon discovered that this portion of her spiritual power had been separated from the overall spiritual power, and the total amount of spiritual power in her body had suddenly dropped significantly. Although her soul was still unable to freely allocate that spiritual power, she seemed to have accidentally found a way to utilize it.

Although it is a pity that the mental power cannot be transformed into a gem and stored outside the body, it seems to be a good option to cut these mental powers into parallel consciousnesses?

After all, a person's energy and time are ultimately limited. While concentrating on one thing, they can't think about another. However, with parallel consciousness, one can do many things simultaneously. Even with only one body, meditating, cultivating mental strength, planning magic circles, researching new magic theories, analyzing existing intelligence, and planning the next step—wouldn't that be fantastic?

Suddenly, Lin Zhenxi began to worry that the total amount of spiritual power he had obtained was not enough. This heavy burden suddenly turned into a happy worry.

So Lin Zhenxi began to create singularities continuously, and then injected her own consciousness into them. Following parallel consciousness No. 1, she successively produced parallel consciousness No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, No. 5 and the smallest No. 6.

By the time she created No. 6, Lin Zhenxi's remaining mental energy had been largely exhausted. The resulting No. 6 had lost the ability to communicate with the outside world, but it still responded to Lin Zhenxi's commands. It felt like an obedient little mute, unable to speak but able to work. So, Lin Zhenxi simply gave her the most tedious meditation task, telling her to meditate 24 hours a day.

With the completion of the parallel consciousness, although Lin Zhenxi's mental power was still several times stronger than before, it was finally reduced to below the upper limit of the soul's ability to mobilize. Now, she could finally control her body freely!
