The spirit realm is a complex concept. In a sense, the spirit realm is more like the so-called multiverse; almost every thought and idea in the material realm will produce a corresponding reflection in the spirit realm.
Under these circumstances, besides the macro spirit realm corresponding to world emotions, there are also more miniature individual spirit realms—it's just that only a very few people can feel the spirit realm. And among those who can feel the spirit realm, only a very small part can understand and control it. On this basis, people who want to expand their 'mind' into a spirit realm are even fewer.
But for Faen, this wasn't difficult—thanks to the tip from the top female fan Ashlesh, the current Faen could clearly feel the flow of every wisp of energy in the spirit realm. If saying when controlling others' spirits, Faen still needed to perk up to ensure his focus. Then when controlling the flow of his own spiritual energy, Faen could already do it with ease, controlling it freely.
For the current Faen, the only difficulty was completing deeper binding with Janna, merging Janna's essence into his spirit realm as well.
Fortunately, Janna cooperated very well. As the ritual gradually perfected, Faen opened his eyes again.
Entering Faen's eyes, the first thing seen wasn't Zeri, Jinx, Caitlyn, and others. But boundless azure blue—endless flowing water filled this space. Located in it, Faen could feel joy turning into substance circulating in this spiritual ocean. Breeze blew in the sky, causing changes; verdant cyan birds emitted melodious chirps.
Concentrating attention, accompanied by Faen's will, soon, the flowing water under his feet began to surge and recede. Not long after, a not-so-solid beach was revealed.
Then slowly, water receded faster and faster, beach revealed more and more. Under Faen's spiritual power control, these gravels also gradually turned into solid soil, and plants grew in breaths. A moment later, a lush jungle grew, like a paradise unknown to outsiders, standing alone from the world.
Although it seemed the spirit realm had been manufactured, in fact it wasn't so. In Ionian concepts, a spirit realm that could be considered a spirit realm, besides existing in the spirit realm allowing people's consciousness to enter, any large spirit realm needed to be able to carry the entry of matter.
The principle was just like demons could cross the veil to descend in the material realm. Spirit realms recognized and recorded by the Ionian Placidium must be stable enough. Because infinite lives also possessed infinite thoughts, and the vast majority of thoughts would dissipate suddenly after existing for a moment. Under these circumstances, painstakingly recording those things wasn't worth the loss, having no value.
But also just like demons couldn't enter the material realm easily—the vast majority of demons entered taking advantage of the chaos during the Rune War era.
And wanting the spirit realm to be able to carry the entry of matter also required a large amount of preparation. Fortunately, the spirit realm could adjust the time flow rate. Although only to a certain extent, it could still allow Faen to handle this problem with a more relaxed attitude.
Cooperating with Janna, taking about three days, Faen successfully stabilized many states of the spirit realm.
In this process, the spirit realm changed constantly. Scenes within reshaped constantly between completeness and brokenness, unable to stabilize its fundamental form for a long time. Finally, Faen simply converted the basis of all matter into water. Using water to shape land, decorate the sky. Plus the wind provided by Janna, finally allowed the spirit realm to exist stably.
After finishing, Faen opened his eyes again, then came to the material realm.
Three days passed in the spirit realm, but only less than a few dozen minutes passed in the material realm. Sounds like a quite good training room, but just letting the spirit return, Faen felt dizzy—body and consciousness located in material and spirit realms respectively. Now returning to one realm, body and consciousness also had to reconcile accounts, adjusting the time difference.
This dizziness would affect all aspects of the individual. Its essence was the veil taking effect, adjusting the balance of two worlds, preventing excessive chaos due to imbalance. And where the veil was fragile, although the impact of spirit-flesh mismatch would weaken accordingly, risks would also surge.
For example, Ionia. Many outsiders couldn't understand why Ionians pursued balance and resonance so much. So cowardly. Even less able to understand what the 'evil spirits' and 'spirits of all things' in their mouths were.
Actually, those were the evil consequences left by the destruction of the veil in ancient wars.
Wait until the spirit recovered more or less, Faen waved to Zeri and Seraphine not far away and said: "Alright, can come in now. Jinx, you guys... if nothing else, can go back first."
"No need, I just happen to feel bored and want to get some fresh air here." Jinx shrugged. Hearing this, Caitlyn stayed where she was standing silently—she knew the current Jinx was her jailer.
Zeri and Seraphine on the side nodded, then the two good friends held hands and drilled into Faen's spirit realm.
First entering the spirit realm, the oncoming sea breeze and vibrant jungle made the two widen their eyes uncontrollably.
The moment of entry, feet felt soft. Looking down, fine sandy beach intersected with the sea surface, fine as gold dust. Even still wearing shoes, when stepping on the beach, Zeri could still feel the sand grains moistened by seawater warm and soft, like a natural massage carpet.
Looking from afar, the mudflat was densely covered with exquisite circular holes. Sand crabs shuttled through like lightning, leaving fleeting agile figures. Turning to look at the deep sea, the color of seawater deepened gradually turning into thorough azure. Green seaweed covered the exposed reefs when waves fell, accompanied by sea ripples, like emeralds inlaid in green waves.
Behind was the coastal jungle adjacent to the golden beach, like a barrier full of vitality, quietly stitching the verdure of land and the azure of ocean. Although not entering the dense forest yet, the current Zeri and Seraphine could already feel the rhythm of life in this jungle.
It was just that having just arrived here, the two little girls knew they came here with a mission, so they restrained their inner curiosity, turning to look at Faen on the side and said: "Then what do we do next?"
"Just wait."
Faen reached out his hand signaling the two little girls not to rush. A moment later, hearing Faen's summons, Janna also flew from the distant dense forest. Coming in front of Faen, Janna said: "I'm ready, what about you."
"What preparation?" Faen asked.
Although Faen understood things about the spirit realm, he wasn't a real spirit realm life after all. On this basis, although Faen knew many rules and compositions of the spirit realm, regarding things like how to conclude contracts and create God-Chosen, he also held a learning attitude.
To this, Janna said calmly:
"Fusion of essence is no less than a rebirth for spirit realm lives. Especially for a spirit realm life like me whose essence grade is far inferior to yours, once the contract is completed, my level as a spirit realm life will get a huge leap. Even if you are still my master, I am also a beneficiary in this fusion."
"No matter. In addition, don't call me master, call me Faen." Faen nodded, not looking distressed at all—anyway, it was all Ashlesh's stuff. Sell if can sell. Taking advantage of Ashlesh being suppressed by Nilah, turn these things he couldn't use into stuff he could use as much as possible.
Abbreviation: Money laundering.
Just laundering others' deposits into his own pocket.
"Compared to this, let's conduct the ritual first, led by you."
Saying this, Faen didn't have any thought of worrying about Janna playing tricks. Because before the ritual began, they had already signed a contract. Under these circumstances, even the spirit realm here was built with Faen as the lead. Like establishing a group chat; although both in the first batch of members, Faen was the group owner, and Janna was the admin.
But meanwhile, under the effect of the contract, Faen could feel Janna's thoughts directly; literally one-way transparent. Although this feeling couldn't be specific to Janna's thinking details, it was enough to read whether Janna harbored malice towards Faen.
Precisely because of this insurance, Faen trusted Janna so much—couldn't just really believe whatever Janna said just because she had a kuudere personality of saying whatever she had, right?
Hearing Faen's words, Janna nodded, then glanced at Zeri and Seraphine on the side and said: "She is our God-Chosen?"
"Mmhmm." Faen nodded.
Seeing this, Janna calmly extended her hand, completing a connection with Zeri and Seraphine similar to that between her and Faen through the traction of wind. It was just that compared to her and Faen, in the relationship between her and Zeri, Seraphine now, she occupied the upper hand, in a dominant position. This strange feeling made Zeri and Seraphine somewhat uncomfortable, but seeing Faen standing by, they endured it without showing.
After perceiving for a moment, Janna nodded thoughtfully, then asked: "There are many ways to complete the ritual. Do you want to use the one you are more familiar with?"
Hearing this, recalling the convenience and speed when Ashlesh blessed him before, Faen nodded and said: "Okay."
Receiving permission, Janna nodded and landed on the ground. Then leaning back, raising one leg high over her head, pushing the fabric of underwear and lower garment to one side. Extending her finger, opening the jade pot, displaying the layout.
Faen: "Hmm?"
