Chapter 550: Chapter 550: After Ascension_1

Invalidation of all abilities was a message purposely leaked by the principal of the Purple Wisteria Academy to Angle Saffire.

After Song Lan pieced together all the information, he also could not help but feel shocked by the principal’s actions over the years. Perhaps he had long known of the relics left by student Anjing outside the school, yet he deliberately allowed this rebellious "spark" to take root and sprout because it would inevitably bring people like Angle Saffire before him.

And in a combat where forces are equally matched, misinformation directly affects the outcome of the battle.

In this regard, the principal seemed to be of the same kind as him.

Initially, it was through misleading information that he made the Foster Family misjudge his abilities, only his intent was not to complete a trial, but to tactfully persuade the Foster Family to turn back.

Regrettably, neither the Foster Family nor the High Prosecutor Dominas could understand his painstaking efforts.

Unlike Angle, who was guided by "fate" and arrived at the Purple Wisteria Academy by intuition, everything that happened today was part of the principal’s plan, aiming...

...to complete the final link of the "Ascension Theory."

The principal realized clearly that even if he were prepared to abandon his physical body, he could not surpass the realm of humanity with his strength alone. The Ceremony would require a tremendous amount of energy, which he had alluded to in conversation, subtly indicating the need for others to surround and witness the process.

"Justice" served as the battery in this trial.

He was both the supporter of the trial and one of only two participants, besides the principal.

"The real ability of the principal is to plunge everyone who tries to investigate the Purple Wisteria Academy into dreams or illusions."

This explained why Lu Xiang said on his first day here that this place did not seem to belong to any part of the United Government, and it also explained the irregular areas outside the school and the indescribable Consciousness Entities; they were all manifestations of the principal’s subconscious.

If this was unknown, no matter how many times the battle between "Justice" and the principal played out, the result would be the same.

The illusory world is a construct of the principal’s consciousness, so no matter the process, the future direction of this world will develop toward the principal’s expectations. From the start, he never regarded the few rebellious students, nor did he seem to take Anjing seriously.

His goal was resolute and clear.

In the real world, they might still be on the train, or they could have been taken by the real staff of the Ragus Foundation to a certain location.

At this moment, the principal’s ability was undergoing an evolutionary process.

Song Lan felt the scenes woven by the subconscious spreading into the real world, and from the moment the two worlds began to overlap, dreams and illusions would become reality.

Once "Ascension" was completed, what the principal would be capable of was not just creating a shared dream but reshaping the world.

The principal had not detailed the various intricacies of "Ascension" to them, even the steps needed for the trial were only alluded to in a very obscure manner. To someone with no concept of it in their heart, everything the principal described was no different from the baseless, imaginatively written fictional stories on the internet.

However, Song Lan understood every detail mentioned by the principal immediately.

It was only when he felt the subtle changes of this world just now that he suddenly understood everything.

Without any foundational knowledge of Spiritual Energy, the only reason he could comprehend these absurd theories was that he had once witnessed this process and seemed to have also reached the "upper world" that the principal longed for.

But what happened after that?

.....................

Meanwhile, the principal and Angle were still situated within this vast universe, unaware of how much time had passed. In this special place, the concepts of time and space became vague.

However, the atmosphere turned silent after the principal’s impassioned speech.

He had completed the trial, personally witnessed the existence of the upper world, and proved that his theories were correct.

Yet...

It seemed their journey had come to an abrupt end.

It was like a novel full of ups and downs; he finally fulfilled his meticulously planned agenda in the story’s climax, acquired all conditions needed to transcend humanity and become a higher being, and then the story concluded.

Leaving only him and Angle wandering in this seemingly endless space.

What would happen next?

Would his ability autonomously complete its evolution, or would those beings who had achieved this feat in the long river of history come to welcome him?

Why did "Justice" still exist here and was not thoroughly sacrificed as an offering?

The principal’s fervor faded, and this Ceremony he’d planned his whole life ended up like another scientific experiment.

As one experiment concluded, countless new questions arose.

He could not find any other life forms in this ephemeral space, nor could he find anyone to answer his questions, which made him rather irritable.

This strayed far from his expectations.

Could it be that he was the first person in the long river of history to come here?

"In the end, you decided to leave everything to fate to make the choice."

After an indeterminate amount of time, the principal heard the voice of a third person from the depths of this space, causing him both surprise and trepidation. Before coming here, he had speculated countless times about the form of higher beings—they might be as described in folk tales, possessing immense forms so terrifying that madness would ensue from mere eye contact, or they might retain a dignified human image, holding the power to decide the future of the lower world...

Human imagination is limitless, and parts of those imaginations had lingered, becoming the remnants of consciousness that hovered outside the school.

But he had never expected that the so-called higher beings would appear before him in the form of an ordinary office worker.

This time, the person did not wear the overcoat that hid external features, nor did they wear a mask, but appeared before them in true form.

"In fact, your research is not mistaken."

The office worker surveyed the surrounding galaxy as well.

Everything here felt familiar to him, and after a moment, he continued, "But you’re too late, there’s no one here waiting for you anymore."
