My different world is game mode.

Chapter 1051: The Far Shore and the Origin

"The real situation?"

Lindsay looked at the girl in front of her with curiosity:
“I know that putting you in this painting will definitely bring about some changes.”

"But judging from the fluctuations of your source energy—the power of the laws is complete, but it's impossible for it to spread, cover, or even replace the entire world. It's far from meeting the standard of the 8th stage?"

With a mysterious smile, Wala Wala extended his right hand to Lindsay:

"The key isn't the skill level, but my current source attribute, okay?"

"Source quality attributes? The emotional source quality has mutated?"

Linssey curiously grasped the girl's hand.

Then, within that soft touch, he sensed a different kind of aura.

Lindsay remembered clearly that, like all the artists of the Seven Seas Alliance, Vala Vala's source attribute was also of the emotion type. During the kiss just now, the words the other person transmitted in her mind were also due to this ability.

But upon closer inspection, a unique aura emerged within it.

Lindsay had never experienced anything like this before.

Distant, brave, profound...

He wasn't even sure if it was the source substance.

I subconsciously activated the reconnaissance skill, and the result was this description.

【Yaoan·Mingxing—Information unknown.】

"Huh? What is this?"

Lindsay looked on with curiosity.

Wala Wala pointed to his own face:
"Guess."

"If you can't guess, give me a kiss here, and I'll tell you."

"..."

Lindsay used his eloquence to convince Wala Wala, and the girl began to introduce herself:
"Distant Stars - This is a type of source material that is brought forth by an intense desire for things. After awakening, the form of power it exhibits is very similar to that of an adventurer, requiring the accumulation of experience, knowledge, and adventures."

Lindsay was somewhat puzzled:

"That's right, it sounds like a very normal development."

"So what makes it special?"

Wala Wala explained in detail:
"The first stage is a strong desire for something—[look up and see the starry sky]; the second stage is to accumulate experience and cultivate your curiosity and thirst for knowledge—guide the intellect of life itself; the third stage is to accumulate knowledge—learn words and read books—understand civilization; until the fourth stage, after sufficient experience, you get your own answer."

Lindsay realized something and nodded, saying:
"From this perspective, just like other awakened individuals, the fifth stage is crucial."

The tone of "Wala Waala" became serious:
"That's right, but it's precisely here that it has taken a particularly unique path compared to other professions!"

Lindsay:

"Special roads?"

Wala Wala revealed the key point:

"Abandon the source substance."

"In the fifth stage, one must relinquish all power as an awakened being!"

"Huh?" Lindsay was completely confused by this explanation. "Is it what I understand—giving up source-material skills and becoming an ordinary person?"

The tone of "Walawala" was equally subtle:
"Isn't it strange? If you want to move forward, you have to give up the power brought by the source matter."

She went on to explain:
"Then, without the ability to use source materials, an ordinary person who was once an Awakened will face his own trial."

"During this period, he overcomes difficulties, defeats dangers, and achieves his goals as a human being. This is his sixth stage, a sublime trial unique to humanity itself!"

"Finally, having achieved one's goal, one will reach the sublimation of the distant shore in the 7th stage."

Lindsay frowned, still unable to understand:
"Was he really just an ordinary person throughout the entire process?"

Wala Wala replied:

"If I had to put it into words—although I gave up the source material techniques, my previous experiences, thirst for knowledge, learning, and curiosity have led to a kind of intuition based on courage?"

Lindsay murmured:
"Courage...courage will guide people forward."

At this point, Wala Wala relaxed.

She sat back down next to Lindsay, her voice becoming more relaxed:
"Of course, if one doesn't take that step in the fifth stage, it can naturally transition into a source of will or emotion, becoming no different from other awakened beings." "..."

Lindsay sat on the wooden board and fell into a brief silence.

Based on Wala Wala's description, this is indeed a road that is hard to imagine.

In common sense, high input always means high output.

"Wara wara, what will this ability bring?"

Wala Wala had just awakened from the painting.

She pondered it carefully, but the mystery within was truly difficult to describe in words.

"Hmph~~"

The young artist hummed a little tune.

A light and cheerful humming sounded across the sea.

Lindsay sensed in her voice the feeling of facing the unknown with curiosity and courage to move forward.

He casually used a music score to record it.

[Whispers of the Stars—Giving listeners the courage to face destiny and take on challenges!]

Wala Wala spoke again:
"Well, this feeling is hard to describe."

"But I know what the next stage will be like."

"The world is boundless—in any universe, if someone calls upon it, then this power of the source can be activated to travel to a world where there is human activity."

Lindsay suggests one possibility:
"Other universes? Not other worlds?"

"It sounds like something only a level nine artist could produce."

“That’s not how it works,” Wala Wala corrected. “This route has always existed, but very few people have managed to achieve it. It was only because of my experience of dying and the power remaining in the painting that I was able to possess this characteristic.”

Lindsay nodded to indicate that she understood, and then steered the conversation back to the beginning:
"I understand. Now tell me about your so-called 'surprise'?"

Wa La Wa La's eyes crinkled into crescent moons with laughter, and a wicked smile curled at the corners of his mouth:

"As an effect of abandoning the source matter—this force applies under any law, yet it is outside the scope of the source matter system."

"In other words, if someone still tries to use source techniques to defend themselves when facing my attack—then they're in big trouble!"

"..."

Lindsay thought for a moment.

Leaving aside the more complex usages, simply understanding it as "absolute penetration" is certainly a very apt term.

The story told by Wala Wala also reminded Lindsay of something about herself.

I finally have some free time.

So Lindsay sat on the swaying wooden plank and opened the attribute panel.

The [Eternal Return] and the massive amount of experience points obtained from the Wizard's Graveyard lie there quietly.

Lindsay turned to look at the girl beside her:
"Okay, I have a general idea of ​​your current abilities."

"But now, it's my turn to upgrade and strengthen it!"

"add a bit!"

【Eternal Return (Beginner)】→【Eternal Return (Master)】→【Eternal Return (Expert)】→【Eternal Return (Master)】→【Eternal Return (Instinct)】.

Lindsay knew the importance of this skill.

So when investing experience points, they don't hold back at all, rushing headlong towards maxing them out.

In the end, Lindsay succeeded.

The [Eternal Return] ability, which has the power to kill gods, consumes an absurd amount of experience points, almost completely draining Lindsay's reserves.

In return, the description of this skill has come to an end.

[Eternal Return (Instinct)]

[Power of Origin - Before the birth of time, space, matter, and the world, there was no thing or concept. This ability will trigger the essence of the evolution of things and guide everything to the original chaotic state.]
