It's time to improve the strength of the infinite world

That's how I set it up when I filled in the values ​​in Chapter 500.
The ability to manipulate information, and the possibilities it represents...

The more Xia Zhi studied, the more astonished she became by the wondrous creations displayed by these information life forms.

In particular, when he delved into the essence of information manipulation, he discovered that their very existence was equivalent to a magnificent evolutionary epic engraved in the entropy increase of the universe.

No wonder the information integration thought system always says—

They were born in the vast ocean of information containing the entire universe, and their origins are almost synchronous with the Big Bang.

Born almost simultaneously with the universe, they expanded as the universe expanded, and their information network also gradually grew larger and larger.

Their thoughts flow like nebulae, their consciousness is as vast as the Milky Way, weaving together expansive cognitive maps.

This form of existence, which resonates with and evolves in sync with the universe, and this innate cosmic scale, has allowed them to enter the hall of higher-dimensional existence since the beginning of time.

What is most chilling is not their sheer size, which spans the Milky Way, but their almost eternal mode of existence—

They can continuously leap forward simply by absorbing information from the outside world, and have never experienced the constraints of ordinary life struggling to survive for billions of years.

But precisely because of this...

When faced with the unprecedented challenge of self-regulating evolution, these higher-dimensional beings revealed for the first time an almost human-like thirst for knowledge.

That yearning for unknown growth, and the urgency to reinvent oneself.

Of course, the summer solstice has a lot of experience to discuss with them on this point.

After all, having cultivated from a mere mortal to the current rudimentary form of an immortal body, when it comes to insights into breaking through the limits of life, it's fair to say he has some knowledge on the subject of "evolution"...

That would be too unreasonable.

In conclusion, discussions about the integration of information and thought have been ongoing.

Occasionally, I'll even sneak some freebies from Suzumiya-san to earn extra "progress points"...

This was already a field of technical specialization, and it was further amplified by a series of powerful buffs, including Origin, Computational Power, and Celestial Body.

His research efficiency has exploded exponentially.

Therefore, the number of "scientific research points" that the summer solstice can currently produce is quite considerable.

Even if it is evenly distributed and applied to different scientific research fields, or the field of magical research...

—A whole bunch of pop-up windows will also appear every month when the settlement is made, showing the completion of each task...

Naturally, when such a massive amount of resources are concentrated on a single project, a breakthrough becomes an inevitable supernova explosion.

It's probably like a snowball rolling downhill.

Although it started small, it grew bigger and faster due to both environmental and internal factors.

Therefore, the path of cultivation becomes steeper and more difficult as one progresses, and the requirements become more demanding.

however……

But precisely because of its continuous growth, the resulting benefits have also increased exponentially.

Each advancement in realm brings not only a leap in power...

This also means that the accumulated foundation beneath our feet will transform into an even more immense supporting force.

The snowball naturally grew bigger and bigger, and he... would go further and further down this path to heaven.

………………

………………

"...Similar to a magic circuit?"

Yukari Yakumo thought for a moment, then asked tentatively, somewhat uncertainly.

"Heh, it's rare that you know this, but it's not quite like that." Upon hearing this, the Nascent Soul cultivator's eyes flashed with surprise. He raised his head and carefully examined her.

He simply denied it, instead of admitting it.

"Spiritual roots are not some kind of circuit..."

"It's nothing like those simulated nerves or energy pathways..."

"In fact, the concept of circuits already exists in my Qi cultivation system. It is closer to the way the meridians in the human body operate, and it is the theory of pulse patterns in the flow of Qi..."

Xia Zhi paused for a moment, then shook her head with a light laugh.

"But spiritual roots..."

"It is something more essential than the soul; it is a directional manifestation of the essence of existence..."

"..."

"..."

"Is it something like a metaphysical concept?" Yukari Yakumo remained silent for a long time, her brows furrowing slightly, revealing a rare look of confusion.

This seems to be some kind of highly abstract concept that transcends specific material forms?

But it is, in fact, real—

Or rather, it will become a real existence in the future, and be able to express the essence and laws of a certain aspect of things.

"Maybe……"

Xia Zhi blinked, but did not give a direct answer.

"In short, spiritual roots are the destiny to immortality, which is related to the essence of existence."

What he didn't elaborate on was that in making these modifications, he simultaneously applied information manipulation techniques and Origin Awakening techniques.

The so-called origin refers to the directionality of things that occur from the initial cause.

Things cannot appear out of thin air. As long as we trace their origins back to their past, we will inevitably find their initial cause, which is called the origin.

With Xia Zhi's mastery of magic, he had long ago mastered the magic that could awaken a person's origin...

He can even touch upon those extremely high-level concepts, going straight to the root sequence.

This is easy to understand.

Concepts like "time," "space," and "nothingness" are definitely much cooler than things like "eating" or "ordinary."

only--

Considering that awakening the Origin is not necessarily a good thing, after all, apart from his example of controlling the Origin, all other examples have been swallowed up by the Origin.

Most people cannot resist that primal impulse of chaos and eternity; they will not be able to withstand it, and their brains will be dominated by the origin.

Therefore, this magic trick is not very useful.

It wasn't until he began to engage with and master information manipulation that a new chapter truly opened up for him. —Matter is energy, and energy is also a form of matter; information is ubiquitous and a universal property of matter.

These are the three essential elements that constitute the world.

Through information reconstruction, he can not only modify the information of entities, but also add, delete, and modify the attributes of objects.

It can even reshape reality itself and redefine the boundaries of existence.

All of this is the fundamental force that supports his construction and definition of spiritual roots.

Spiritual roots are something that do not exist in the first place.

At least in this world, and in many worlds before it, spiritual roots do not exist.

But he imbued it with meaning, made it tangible, and cleverly set it up as a concept close to the origin.

In a spiritual environment, life forms may experience phenomena similar to origin awakening.

However, that wasn't the true awakening of origin—

That is the awakening of the spiritual root.

Similarly, just as origin represents a certain directionality, it brings powerful forces and tendencies in that direction...

The same applies to spiritual roots.

"Taking the five elements as an example, whatever the element of your spiritual root is, you will have a significant advantage in the performance of that element..."

Xia Zhi's voice remained calm, yet it carried an undeniable certainty.

"Whether it's mastering supernatural powers and spells, or the efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy, the cultivation speed of someone with a single spiritual root is 210% faster than that of an ordinary person..."

"...210%?"

Yakumo Yukari's eyes widened slightly, her tone tinged with surprise.

"Why are there whole numbers and fractional parts? How was this value calculated?"

“This doesn’t need to be calculated.” Xia Zhi shrugged. “That’s how I set it up when I filled in the values.”

"..."

"..."

Okay, that's a really good and powerful reason.

After a moment of silence, the sage nodded slightly, seemingly accepting the reason.

She gently unfolded the folding fan in her hand, pressed it against her lower lip, and gazed into a deep, thoughtful state.

"Since only a single spiritual root can provide that boost, then I think that the more spiritual roots one has, the better, rather than the purer they are?"

"That's roughly it..."

The Nascent Soul cultivator blinked: "However, a mixed spiritual root with all five elements is not necessarily without a way out. If the conditions are met, one might be able to obtain a special fortune."

"But then their cultivation speed will be very slow, and their efficiency will definitely be very poor."

The golden-haired demon's beautiful eyes flickered: "I guess the person who can obtain the fortune you mentioned will be very, very difficult to appear."

“There aren’t many,” Xia Zhi nodded, “but there is still hope.”

He changed the subject, spread his five fingers slightly, and five-colored divine light bloomed like rosy clouds, seemingly reflecting all things in the world as it flowed.

"Alright—now make your choice. What kind of spiritual root do you need? This is a one-time offer, and I can provide a customized service."

Yukari Yakumo tilted her head slightly, her gaze lingering on the light in his palm for a moment, before she asked with a hint of hesitation:

"May I ask what Mary chose?"

"She hasn't made a choice yet."

"Eh?"

"This is a new project I recently decided to launch. Although I sent her the installation package, she still doesn't seem to be used to using Greygu..."

The young man spoke calmly, as if he were talking about something perfectly ordinary.

"Let's wait until she notices the installation package update. Anyway, with her Magician setup, she doesn't really need this."

"..."

"..."

Looking at his calm and composed demeanor, Yukari Yakumo's lips twitched involuntarily, but in the end, she could only sigh helplessly.

She closed her folding fan, her gaze once again falling upon the five-colored interwoven radiance.

------

In another universe, far away.

An ominous, pitch-black ship was slowly sailing across the boundless Sea of ​​Nothingness, cutting through the waves.

"Five-colored divine light...?"

Beside the porthole, across the table, Vivian raised an eyebrow.

In front of her, on the table, lay an exquisite jade slip.

"Yes, but this is really hard to train. Even with the weakened version where the rank and effort are reduced, it's still very troublesome..."

Xia Zhi nodded: "So don't push yourself too hard. Learn as much as you can, and it's good if you can even grasp something."

"I understand..." the girl said softly, extending her slender fingertips to gently touch the jade slip on the table.

Hey! Come and see! Come and see!

At that moment, a very excited and boisterous voice suddenly came from above.

She sounds like the kind of energetic and vibrant high school girl.

"Did you also 'feel' that you caught a fish this time?"

The young man remained unmoved, but simply raised his head and asked loudly, "Are you sure? Absolutely certain?"

"Shut up! You don't need to say that..."

On the deck, Suzumiya's voice suddenly turned angry and embarrassed, but it quickly became urgent again—

"Hey! Come quick, everyone, I see land!"

"That must be the new world!"
