The matter of stealing self-recognition was hard to gauge in size. If it was just a trivial matter, it didn’t really matter; but if it involved the future or even the ownership of this space, then it was a big deal. Stealing the right to recognition would mean altering the fundamental nature of the Crystal Origin of Dreams.
The Crystal Origin of Dreams might be good, but the secrets hidden within it were known only to Angel.
Even if she did steal the recognition, Laplace didn’t think she could use it as freely as Angel does.
Moreover, even if she stole the Dream Conch, it would actually be useless. In other people’s hands, the Dream Conch is useless, a dusty treasure; only Angel makes it shine. And Laplace doesn’t think she could, like Angel, wipe away the dust from the Dream Conch if it fell into her hands.
Furthermore, Laplace never intended to offend Angel.
Still, although Laplace chose to hold back and not name, she didn’t want to be misunderstood as having no naming talent: "I thought it over carefully, you asked me to name it just to pick on it. Even if I come up with a beautiful name, if you want to find fault, you could still find it. So there’s no need for me to cooperate."
Laplace felt she responded quite well.
However, after waiting for a long time, Laplace did not hear a reply. She curiously turned her head to look, only to find Angel seemingly completely oblivious to her words, staring at the sky with a puzzled expression.
Laplace followed Angel’s gaze up, but saw only the spider creatures continuing to weave their net, no other abnormalities.
Laplace asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"
Angel lowered his brows and murmured, "Nothing."
Laplace didn’t believe him, but since Angel didn’t want to say, she couldn’t force it out of him. She could only mutter softly, moving past the little episode.
Laplace felt she could brush this aside, but Angel was still mulling over the scene he had witnessed earlier.
When Angel asked Laplace for a name, he vaguely felt some hindrance in the operation of the Crystal Origin of Dreams.
As he carefully investigated, he found the source of the hindrance... spider creatures.
When he raised his head to look at the group of spider creatures, they all stopped their web-weaving work, lowered their "fish heads," and gazed toward the safe zone with lifeless fish eyes.
However, the spider creatures completely ignored Angel’s gaze; all their attention was fixed on Laplace.
It seemed that as long as Laplace said one word, the spider creatures would stir up big trouble.
Being stared at by six spiders’ eyes, while Laplace had evidently not broken her scale transformation, she felt nothing, as if isolated from the outside atmosphere, deep in her own thoughts.
Meanwhile, Angel knew Laplace was contemplating on how to rename the Crystal Origin of Dreams...
Angel’s heart skipped, was it due to the name?
If Laplace really intended to rename it, would the will of the Mirror World deem her an invader of the Crystal Origin of Dreams?
This thought was baseless but somehow Angel felt it might be the truth.
After all, Laplace was the "Destiny’s Chosen" of the Mirror World; her every move influenced many things.
Thinking of this, Angel couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat... he seemed to have asked Laplace about something he shouldn’t have.
Luckily, in the end, Laplace chose to give up naming.
It was also the moment Laplace abandoned the naming idea that the spiders in the sky resumed their web-weaving, as if the previous eerie gaze fixed on Laplace was just an illusion...
Although the matter turned out to be a false alarm, Angel was truly scared out of his wits.
Angel remained silent, not arguing against Laplace’s sarcasm, but quietly noted to himself: Name expansion plans for the Wilderness of Dreams cautiously; treat naming matters with care, better not bring them up casually.
...
The naming issue was not discussed any further, and Angel brought up the topic of the Wilderness of Dreams again, this time talking about its customs and geography.
"There’s a fairy in the Wilderness of Dreams? Tree Civilization?" Laplace’s eyes flashed with curiosity: "A tree spanning heaven and earth, sounds a bit like the ’Root World.’ But in the Root World, only green-skinned underground people are born, nothing like the bizarre Dream Plant Fairies you describe."
"You’re interested in Dream Plant Fairies?" Angel asked casually.
Laplace nodded without denying: "A bit interested, a fairy species born of the Dream Realm; I wonder what they would be like."
After a pause, Laplace added: "I’ve always wanted to create a Temporal Body in the form of a fairy, but unfortunately, I’ve never succeeded. If you enter the Forest of Memories, you’ll see there are quite a few Temporal Body models based on the fairies from Genoa."
—Genoa is the frontier Aquapolis of the Wunong Duchy and also the famous Fairy Capital.
"After countless failures, I finally chose to create Laplace."
"Creating Laplace?" Angel looked inquisitively at the ’Laplace’ in front of him.
Laplace: "Not me, but my Temporal Body, Laplace."
Angel was dazed for a long moment before realizing that Laplace was referring to the "Rabbit Girl" among the Three Temporal Bodies.
That Rabbit Girl is also called Laplace.
And the silver-haired, different-eyed woman in front of him is an "Avatar" of Laplace’s main body.
"So, your curiosity is just because you wanted to use the appearance of the Dream Plant Fairy to construct a Temporal Body?" Angel asked.
Laplace did not deny it and nodded: "Yes."
"I think you shouldn’t be called Laplace, you should be called Warmwarm." Angel murmured softly.
Laplace looked over puzzled: "What?"
"Nothing, I was saying..." Angel originally wanted to find some excuse to brush it off, but suddenly, he seemed to sense something, his right eye flashed a green light, looking far away: "I was saying, it seems like the time is almost here."
...
The time is almost here?
Laplace was immediately intrigued and instinctively sensed the surroundings. However, even with the enhancement of the molting ability, Laplace found no changes around.
