The text information emerging from the glass box was like a black cloud obscuring the sky.When the Housekeeper Fan placed the glass box on the table, that sense of obscuration covered most of the dining room; under these circumstances, not only were there blind spots in vision, it turned directly into black vision.
Angel thought for a moment and closed his eyes.
Two seconds later, Angel opened his eyes, and the text information around him was "refreshed," disappearing. As long as Angel did not carefully observe the glass box, these obstructive text clouds would not reappear.
Not only Angel, but Laplace and Jasmine also clearly had the action of closing their eyes to "refresh."
Standing by the table, Housekeeper Fan seemed to have foreseen this situation. Once everyone had "refreshed" the information, he pointed to the glass box and said: "This is where the text creatures are kept."
Although it was referred to as a glass box, it was not actually transparent, resembling frosted glass. One could vaguely see shadows inside, but the specifics were not completely visible.
In front of them, the lower half of the glass box was a heavy, peaceful black shadow, as if it contained... soil?
Above the soil was empty, at least nothing could be seen through the frosted glass.
Housekeeper Fan timely opened the lid of the glass box.
Once the lid was lifted, sure enough, Angel saw thick black soil covering the bottom.
Yet above the black soil, there was still nothing visible.
Either the "text creatures" Housekeeper Fan mentioned were transparent existences, or they were hidden in the black soil.
If they were truly transparent creatures, they wouldn’t have laid a layer of soil below, so Angel personally believed the answer was more likely the latter.
Nevertheless, this glass box was not large, and the text creatures were hidden in the black soil—it implied they were even smaller, didn’t it?
"Could it be an insect? Or some miniature snake?" Angel pondered internally, trying to infiltrate the soil with a spirit tentacle.
But before Angel’s spirit tentacle emerged, he saw movement from the center of the soil, revealing the head of a pink string.
Seeing this piece of pink string, Angel was silent for a long time.
Not only Angel but Laplace was also somewhat surprised.
Yes, this pink string was the text creature contained in the glass box, and it was not the insect or miniature snake Angel had imagined, but rather... an earthworm.
The pink earthworm slowly squirmed in the black soil, resembling a miniature dragon turning over, stirring up slight dust and mud.
"Are you disappointed to see it’s an earthworm?" Housekeeper Fan’s voice sounded beside his ear.
Angel shook his head: "No, just didn’t expect it to be an earthworm."
Housekeeper Fan chuckled: "Choosing an earthworm simply aligned with this particular stage."
Initially, when Aiya began creating text creatures, he chose relatively low-level invertebrates, starting with sponges and amoebas, slowly advancing to hydra, schistosome, and now, having crossed linear animals, into annular animals. The representative of annular animals is the earthworm.
So, although the Housekeeper Fan presented merely a small earthworm, it actually carries the legacy of generations of invertebrates.
The current earthworm is the latest product following multiple generations of evolution, the highest-level text creature Aiya has developed so far.
After hearing Housekeeper Fan’s explanation, Angel’s expression was somewhat surprised. He initially thought Aiya’s text creature creation was similar to Greya’s, directly skipping countless layers, boldly entering the mysterious transcendent field.
To his disbelief, Aiya’s creature creation followed an evolutionary progression from low to high.
Angel’s expression was unhidden, and upon seeing it, Housekeeper Fan directly asked: "Mr. Angel finds this quite surprising?"
Angel thought for a moment and said: "In the Southern Domain, there is actually a wizard adept at creation..."
Angel roughly explained Greya’s situation.
Housekeeper Fan nodded in understanding: "I see, sir is surprised by the differing methods of creation."
After pausing, Housekeeper Fan explained: "Actually, there’s no need to overthink these things. If the wizard you mentioned truly engages in creation, she may have already approached or even grasped some aspects of the Law of Creation."
"And text creatures don’t precisely count as genuine creations, being quite far from the Law of Creation."
"Ultimately, text is text, differing from real living things."
Housekeeper Fan’s explanation was indirectly saying that if comparing "creation," the Mystic Book Dragon couldn’t compete with Greya.
However, they were naturally on different tracks.
Greya participates in true creation, while the Mystic Book Dragon’s textual creation is more akin to "virtual creation."
Housekeeper Fan: "As for why text creatures must advance generation by generation, it’s because when you delve down, text creatures, after all... are still text."
"To signify with text, logic must be employed."
The logic of text also manifests in the Text Space.
To create text creatures, logic must be followed, step by step writing the progression.
"You also noticed earlier, text information floating above the earthworm was like a black cloud; this text information doesn’t solely describe the earthworm but also its predecessors, sponges, schistosome, and so forth. Text requires logic, and text creatures must adhere to logic to be sustained. Without precedent benchmarks, it’s difficult to write subsequent magnificence."
"Similarly, if the next textual creation advances to squid, octopus, and other soft-bodied animals, the text information above them will be more abundant, inevitably containing information related to earthworms."
Text adheres to logic, and text creatures must exist under the logical chain.
Upon hearing this, Angel completely understood.
Everything in the Text Space, simply put, is logic, or rather a kind of "algorithm." It’s somewhat like programming; for the program to run, it must be written following established algorithms.
The greater the difficulty, the more complex it becomes.
"However, the main body has begun researching ways to omit extensive redundant elaboration." As Housekeeper Fan said this, he pointed to the glove Jasmine compiled earlier: "Like this pair of gloves, initially described with text, it required a lengthy article; now it’s created with just a segment, representing similar research achievements."
"This matter, I think, is not unfamiliar to Lady Laplace."
Housekeeper Fan deliberately highlighted Laplace, knowing Lady Laplace had touched the initial version of the "Secret Treasury Within the Book" as Aiya’s Temporal Body.
Laplace nodded in agreement.
Indeed, if it were the initial version of the "Secret Treasury Within the Book," creating a pair of gloves without writing a long essay from the genesis, detailing everything from the opening heavens and the sprouting of all things, would be challenging to truly produce.
Now, being able to create with a single sentence exemplifies Aiya’s progress.
Creating inanimate objects has already been simplified; in the future, simplifying the creation of animate objects is not impossible either.
...
After Housekeeper Fan explained the general situation, he placed the glass box in front of Angel and Laplace, letting them study it.
Angel took the glass box and examined it closely, finding the "text creation" really interesting.
This interest is not manifested from the earthworm itself.
But from the "black soil."
This living earthworm, because the information is too complex, Angel really couldn’t probe it and could only look at other textual information. As a result, he discovered the uniqueness of the "black soil."
The black soil in the glass box, at first glance, seems to be the same, but upon closer inspection, you will find two different descriptions.
One description is: "Black soil: A specially made soil with good fertility, able to foster growth..."
The other description is: "Fertile black soil: A specially made soil showing signs of earthworm activity, possessing excellent fertility, able to foster growth..."
Both are black soil, but due to the different trajectories of the earthworm’s movement, it resulted in two completely different textual information.
Angel also asked Housekeeper Fan about it.
From Housekeeper Fan’s mouth, he learned that initially, all the black soil had the first kind of textual information. But later, as earthworms migrated in and established themselves in the black soil, part of it began to change.
Yes, Aiya did not proactively change it; it was the "program" in the void that conducted self-correction.
Previously, when Angel described the scent of Demon Food Flower King Saliva, the textual information also underwent self-correction, but at that time, the correction was about removing the transcendent effect.
In a sense, it was a change for the worse.
But this time, the self-correction was clearly a change for the better.
Don’t just see it as a single word difference, but within there is a huge disparity.
Degrading is because it hasn’t reached that step yet, the inner logic can’t support it; but upgrading is a manifestation of self-improvement, indicating that the logic chain is enriching itself.
If we use an analogy, it’s like a rigid program moving towards an intelligent one.
This seemingly implies a logic: if there are more text creations here, whether animate or inanimate, everything will become more coherent due to the enrichment of the textual logic chain.
Isn’t this just AI evolution?
It’s precisely because Angel discovered this point that made him more interested in text creations... if only such abilities could be recreated in the Crystal Origin of Dreams.
No one knows if Mystic Book Dragon’s "Book of Time" talent is a gift from World Will. If it is, it might trigger the training dungeon? At that time, one could derive "Secret Treasury Within the Book" through the time book talent, creating text space...
Angel communicated his thoughts to Laplace via the Mind Ribbon.
Mainly, since Laplace knows about the "Book of Time" talent, perhaps she can judge whether this talent is a gift from World Will.
However, after listening, Laplace shook her head: "It is not; it belongs to Mystic Book Dragon’s line of bloodline talent."
In other words, all Mystic Book Dragons have similar talents. Although... it seems there is currently only one Mystic Book Dragon.
Hearing this, Angel felt a bit disappointed; it seems the idea of building a text space in the Crystal Origin of Dreams is not feasible.
But just as Angel was lamenting on his own, Laplace added: "Speaking of which, if you want to create a text space in the Crystal Origin of Dreams, why consider Mystic Book Dragon’s talent? Just drag this painting into the Crystal Origin of Dreams, wouldn’t that work?"
It’s like when Angel initially pulled Rabbit Mansion into the Crystal Origin of Dreams.
Upon hearing Laplace’s words, Angel suddenly paused: seems like that makes sense... why go thinking about talent matters when you can use the Dream Conch?
Angel slapped his forehead vigorously, realizing that it was his previous focus on observing the training dungeon that made his brain filled with training dungeon ideas and forgot his "original intention."
Angel looked at Laplace: "Then shall we borrow the painting from Aiya?"
Laplace nodded: "Sure, but are you planning to tell Mystic Book Dragon about the Dream Conch?"
Angel fell into a brief silence, eventually shaking his head.
Even if the Dream Conch hasn’t been heavily used in the Crystal Origin of Dreams, its importance will not wane. Its significance rivals that of the Dream Nightmare Realm itself.
Angel only told Laplace about the Dream Conch because they mutually trust each other.
But telling Aiya, whom he just met, Angel wasn’t willing.
Laplace: "I understand, I’ll handle the borrowing of the painting."
If Angel went, without probing deep, Aiya would not lend it out; but Laplace does not have this concern, as someone Aiya internally recognizes as a "teacher," even if Aiya had doubts, he would respect Laplace’s decisions.
Angel thanked Laplace.
Laplace: "No problem, I also want to know if a text space can be recreated in the Crystal Origin of Dreams."
Laplace’s eyes flashed with a hint of interest.
When it comes to creating text entities in the outside world, her interest is not high, but if it’s done within the Crystal Origin of Dreams, then she gets very intrigued...
Everything in the Crystal Origin of Dreams, in Laplace’s eyes, is where the fun lies. She eagerly enriches various "modules" within the Crystal Origin of Dreams, as this step-by-step perfection of rules and the world is a form of cultivation for Laplace.
Laplace even vaguely feels that whether she can break through her limits should also rely on the Crystal Origin of Dreams.
Precisely because of this, Angel’s proposal is something Laplace would not refuse.
She even thought about borrowing a larger text space; this restaurant feels a bit small... why not find Aiya to custom-make a larger, easier-to-exploit text space?
On the other hand, Angel didn’t know Laplace was already planning to find Aiya for a "bespoke" creation; he continued observing the black soil.
However, this time he wasn’t merely observing and conducted some other small experiments.
Angel used a stack of white papers to write down various nutrient components, step by step textualizing them, eventually blending into a plate of high-quality fertilizer.
He plans to add fertilizer to the black soil, to observe if text auto-correction happens through external additions and interventions.
With Angel’s series of operations, the black soil indeed began to change.
