Chapter 98 Earth, I have returned!

"Inherent domain?" Li Ge slowly typed out a question mark.

Another term I'm not familiar with. And another thing, Vice Principal, aren't you giving me too much credit?

You said it's the strongest technique of the mystical school, the pinnacle of techniques, how long do you think it will take me to learn it?

At that time, Li Ge felt like he was just an ordinary undergraduate student majoring in mathematics. One day, the principal said directly, "You, that undergraduate student, go and prove Goldbach's Conjecture and Riemann Hypothesis."

Li Ge: "Me—me? I'm going to learn the Inherent Domain? Really?"

Did you guys start discussing who the strongest new mage is after you discovered there was something wrong with my hometown? And then you found out I should go fight Su Nuo?

"Do you know where the power of world consciousness lies?" the principal asked rhetorically.

Li Ge shook his head. He only started paying attention to World Consciousness recently after learning that Blood Thirst Disease might be related to World Consciousness.

"Omniscience and omnipotence within a limited scope means that, in one's own world, the world consciousness is an omniscient and omnipotent god, even able to predict the trajectory of every single atom. With the support of such massive data, it can achieve almost unbeatable power within its own scope, but once it leaves its own scope, it completely loses this power."

"However, this is not true omniscience and omnipotence. The biggest weakness of the world consciousness is that, under normal circumstances, it cannot handle such a large amount of complex information. After all, it is not easy for the world consciousness to deal with such a large and complex amount of information at the same time. They will not masochistically activate omniscience at all times. So, it is often when problems arise that the world consciousness begins to unfold its domain of omniscience and omnipotence."

"And the inherent domain, you can think of it as a domain of power that is only applicable to a small area, or even only applicable to oneself. This is the ultimate technique, which can be used to resist the world consciousness, and it is one of the few powers that can resist the gods."

"To override reality with personal will, to materialize the inner world, and to temporarily replace the power of external laws—this is called the ultimate form of technique," the vice principal said.

Li Ge: "————"

Okay, he knows this thing is awesome. It's about expanding your domain, which means you're in your own domain, like having half a world's consciousness.

World consciousness is essentially turning the entire planet into its own domain, so the only way to fight a domain is to use a domain against another domain, right?

Li Ge scoffed, "For example, can this thing even fight against the God of Order?"

Li Ge didn't know who the God of Order was, but it was the only one he knew about, and it was said to be the god with the widest influence.

"Yes, although we can only fight against it for a very short time. Before your domain is shattered, even a god would find it difficult to corrupt you," the vice principal said decisively.

"So, with such a powerful technique, Vice Principal, how long do you think it will take me to learn it?" Li Ge instead posed this question to the Vice Principal.

"I don't know, but you must learn it if you don't want to give up your hometown. So I recommend you study mysticism. Don't worry about those bizarre rituals, descents of the gods, role-playing, etc. You just need to think about—" The vice principal paused and said, "How to learn the inherent domain. Then the school will have the ability to break through the blockade of world consciousness and send you back to your hometown."

"If you're unwilling to study the established field, then only the girl you brought can study it; it's just the two of you anyway," the vice principal added.

Li Ge fell silent. Sure enough, he was about to become a prisoner; it seemed his family had serious problems.

It's gotten to the point where schools are forcibly pushing themselves to the extremes of these techniques.

I'm only a Tier 2 mage right now. I haven't even mastered Spirit Enhancement yet. Should I consider learning a Domain?

"So, Principal, what exactly happened to the God of Destiny in my hometown?" Li Ge asked.

The principal paused for a moment, then, seemingly organizing his thoughts or perhaps worried that Li Ge couldn't handle it, he could only compromise and say, "I can only tell you that anyone from the outside who tries to enter that world will choose to destroy themselves—only the two of you who escaped are exceptions, you are the last spark."

Li Ge: "————"

Dude, what's gotten into you, Tianyi? What's wrong with you? What's making you want to solve the problem instead of dealing with the person who raised it, or self-destructing?

No wonder the vice principal dragged me to the meeting and made me, a freshman, choose to study occultism.

"But things aren't as serious as you think. It's just a complete loss of contact. You still have at least six years to learn your existing field, instead of having to create your own field in a few days." In the end, the vice principal offered this request in a consoling manner.

"Six years is your limit. You don't even need to completely control the domain. You just need to be able to let the domain cover you for a short time." The vice principal continued, patting Li Ge on the shoulder as if to encourage him.

Thankfully, it's six years, not six days.

But why six years?

As Li Ge pondered, she suddenly realized that the complete replacement cycle of human cells is approximately 6 years. In other words, you will be completely different in terms of physical appearance 6 years from now compared to 6 years ago.

The school has given me six years, which means I need to complete the research while ensuring that I still have cells from my birthplace in my body.

"I'll do my best—" Li Ge didn't dare to make any promises, after all, who knew just how difficult it was to learn this power known as the ultimate technique.

"Well, work hard. The school will support you. By the way, there's something counterintuitive: the inherent domain doesn't have the same high requirements as other traditional techniques. In fact, the learning and mastery of domain techniques are quite idealistic." The vice principal explained, and in the next instant, a book appeared out of thin air in his hand and was handed to Li Ge.

Li Ge took the book, which was titled "Basic Training of Domain Techniques".

"The principle of the Realm of Inherent is the same as the principle of the Noble Phantasms that your Noble Phantasm Department is currently using. Your Noble Phantasms are to materialize your dreams and soul fantasies into tangible objects that best suit you, while the Realm of Inherent is to materialize your inner world fantasies in the present world. Although this is a technique of the mystical school, it is actually a technique that is easier for the Noble Phantasm Department to learn." The headmaster explained the basics of the Realm of Inherent.

Li Ge nodded, opened the book, and thank goodness, there was nothing mysterious or mysterious about advanced mathematics, spatial science, or topology. The basics taught you how to control your thoughts and consciousness, and how to gradually solidify a real world of your own in your mind.

The final step is to influence the present world with the fixed world in one's mind, which is to complete the established domain.

"That's it. Follow the method above to gradually take control of your thoughts and consciousness. Try it first, and gradually control your dreams," the principal said. "From now on, you will stay at the mystical school for further study every Sunday and long holiday. I have already spoken with the people there. Also, you can report to me if any problems arise. Don't worry, the school will always be your support."

The principal patted Li Ge on the shoulder again, and then said no more.

Holding the book in her hand, Li Ge seemed to hear someone whispering in her ear—

"Hey, Li Ge, your days of freely playing in the virtual arena during holidays are over. Dedicate your time to studying the domain!"

Li Ge couldn't even sit on the food stall chair and say, "If you want it, come and get it."

"Sigh—" Life is tough, Li Ge sighed.

It seems that it has to be me.

Afterwards, Li Ge rushed to pick up Little Lola. The little girl seemed very understanding and didn't express any blame or dissatisfaction. Instead, she asked, "Is Uncle very busy today?"

"Yeah, I just finished my exams yesterday and I have a ton of things to do. If it weren't for the problems with the Holy Empire—" Li Ge was about to say that if it weren't for the problems with the Holy Empire, he probably would have gone home much earlier, when he suddenly paused.

"Um?"

"No, it's nothing. I'll take you to the virtual arena. But I might be very busy tomorrow, so take care of yourself." Li Ge smiled and patted the girl's hair.

So, Li Ge took the little girl to a virtual reality "internet cafe" and booked a private room. Little Lola seemed to be addicted to the internet as well, and started dominating the virtual arena.

By the way, the school's virtual reality arena actually has more than just combat games; there are also puzzle and horror games. Essentially, it's designed to hone combat experience. But this girl just happens to love the thrill of combat, especially those dungeons where you wear power armor or large mechs to fight aliens.

Strange hobbies.

However, Li Ge wasn't in the mood to run the virtual arena dungeon today. He needed to consider cultivating his inherent domain, a power known as the ultimate technique.

Only when you have the ability to encompass yourself within a specific domain can you think of a way to go home.

Otherwise, we can only let little Lola learn this stuff, but at least at her age, forcing her to come into contact with spiritual particles might affect her growth and development.

She certainly didn't want this girl to be in her fifties or sixties but still look like an 11-year-old girl.

So Li Ge found a quiet meditation room, and his choice was—

sleep!

According to the vice principal and the book, the prerequisite for an inherent domain is to create a complete inner world, and the prerequisite for creating an inner world is to learn to control one's consciousness and soul. The most basic way to learn to control consciousness is to learn to control one's dreams.

Because dreams are entirely influenced and guided by your own subconscious, what Li Ge needs to manipulate now is to forcibly transform the dreams controlled by the subconscious into dreams controlled by his own surface thinking.

Come to think of it, he hasn't had a dream since he merged with the clown mask and awakened his past life memories.

"Give me a good dream," Li Ge said, then closed her eyes and quickly drifted off to sleep.

Before entering the dream, Li Ge forcibly activated his spiritual particles to a state of activity, following the special training methods of the domain.

In a daze, Li Ge felt as if she saw a familiar scene.

The high school campus, the familiar Tokyo University uniform with its taut, elastic design, and the familiar slogan, "Work hard for a whole year, be happy for a lifetime."

Familiar, all too familiar —

This is a high school campus, not the Holy Empire's, but the campus of my hometown in my previous life!

Li Ge covered his eyes. He was laughing, he was laughing wildly, letting out a laugh that sounded like that of the Uchiha clan.

"Earth, I have returned!"
