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

Chapter 67 Why don’t I seem to feel anything?
It was raining continuously and the rain kept falling.

Because of the dark clouds, the stars and the moon are dim, and the night is as dark as ink that cannot be dissolved.

Looking at the scenery outside from the window, the town stood quietly in the rainy night. Many buildings were naturally distributed. There were some lights here and there, but most of them were turned off early. I wonder if they went to rest directly.

From this, one seems to be able to get a glimpse of the temperament of the fairies of the Mirror Clan. Combined with what one sees and hears along the way after entering the Mirror Clan's territory, one can even feel their mental state.

This group of fairies are really indifferent. It seems like they have no life or interests of their own. They won't join in the fun or follow the trends. Their lives are just a routine and every day is like punching in for work.

This is obviously different from other fairies.

There is no doubt that this is the territory of the Mirror Clan. As it is getting late, everyone will rest here for the night.

The bell-ringing process went smoothly. In the evening, after a brief conversation, the clan leader took them back to the clan's base camp and headed straight to the bell-ringing hall, letting the second bell ring -

Before it became completely dark, the roar could once again resound throughout the fairy kingdom, announcing to all existing fairies.

This can be considered a different kind of publicity, after all, two pilgrimage bells were rung consecutively in one day, and there was only half a day between the two ringings...

This kind of strong and overbearing efficiency will naturally give the fairies a little shock, and it can also declare the determination of the fairies of paradise to embark on the pilgrimage.

——There is no room at all.

"Now I can tell you about it..." Reaching out to feel the raindrops outside, Xia Zhi turned back from the window and looked behind him, "What does "Origin Awakening" mean? I don't think I've heard of this before..."

In the evening, he became quite curious about this.

But considering that it was not the right time to ask in detail, he patiently suppressed his curiosity and desire to explore and waited until now.

The girl was just picking up the Rod of Selection next to her and putting it on the table to examine it carefully. She raised her head after hearing what he said, thought for a moment, and then slowly said, "You should know something about the attributes of a magician, right?"

Instead of explaining directly, she first brought up another concept.

"The attributes of a magician? I know this..." Xia Zhi pondered and recalled, "It determines what kind of characteristics the magic used by the magician is likely to have, what kind of magic the magician is more compatible with, and it belongs to the magician himself."

Just like there are basic "five elements magic" in magic.

This is magic that directly manipulates the element that the magician possesses as an attribute. For example, if the attribute is fire, fire is manipulated, and if the attribute is water, water is manipulated... As long as the attributes match, the magician will become more proficient in this aspect.

"Just remember that if attributes are the fundamental elements that determine the essence of magic, then something deeper than that that determines the essence of existence is 'origin'. A magician who strongly expresses 'origin' sometimes deviates from the normal attributes."

Vivian explained, "Or the 'origin' itself becomes an attribute. Most magicians of this type will display extraordinary talents in that aspect and are considered to be able to reach a higher realm than ordinary magicians."

"..."

"..."

Xia Zhi thought about it for a while and put forward his own opinion: "In other words, it is similar to talent, aptitude, and ability? It's just that it is not determined at birth, but it is possible to awaken later in life?"

It sounds similar, origin will give people extraordinary talents.

But based on the concept of awakening, this seems not to be a aptitude determined by nature, but an item that can be acquired later?

"In fact, it's something deeper—"

Vivian shook her head in denial. Origin is not something so simple.

"That is something that is innate and will never change. It is more fundamental than the previous life and can be traced back to the original reason for existence."

"because?"

"Yes, to put it simply, it is the "direction of things that occur from the initial cause", the "direction that determines the reason for one's existence"..."

The girl frowned slightly as she spoke. The state of the Staff of Selection was very bad, and it was probably very close to being completely broken, much earlier than the time in her memory.

Maybe it was because she had decided early on not to save the fairies this time, and was even prepared to kill the fairies and strike hard, so she wanted to use "things to save fairies" to defeat the fairies, and the functions were opposite from the beginning.

“Think about it, if there is a previous life, then there should be a previous life before that, right? In the previous life, you were not a human, and in the previous life, you were not even a thing, but the line of existence will continue all the way to the origin of your soul, or even the place where you were created…”

Putting down the Rod of Selection, she exhaled softly and continued:
"That does exist, because everything has its ultimate cause, which is absolute. In words you can understand, it is the ultimate goal that all the magi dreamed of in the Fuyuki Holy Grail War..."

The so-called vortex of origin.

It is the beginning and final location of the universe.

There is a "record of everything" there. Rather than saying "record", it is not "existence". So it cannot be said to be intelligence, it is just "existence". It has no consciousness and cannot have direction. But it can flow out reasons and flow out direction.

Everything in this universe flows out and derives from that vortex.

"If you put it that way, I think I understand..."

Xia Zhi lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then remembered something: "But this means that it is not limited to magicians?"

He thought this was the magician profession in this world, with a unique talent tree or something.

But now it seems that is not the case.

"Of course, it's not just magi, or even just humans or any other life form, but it's the directionality that all existence is born with, a directionality that is considered inseparable from existence itself... This is the origin."

Vivian nodded slightly and continued to explain in a calm tone.

"Things cannot appear out of thin air - as long as we trace back to their previous lives, we will inevitably find the cause of their origin. This cause is called the origin, and everything has its origin. After all, even matter flows."

Even from a scientific point of view, there is a theory of reincarnation.

All molecules will flow, and everything except concepts such as spirit, soul, and life can be converted into other things... The so-called origin is a method of tracing back the law of disorder.

"Well, it turns out that this is the standard configuration of this world..."

Xia Zhi curled the corners of his mouth and suddenly felt that there was nothing to look forward to about this thing.

"Don't underestimate it. Although everything has its source, if you don't let it awaken, it can't become a real reality."

The girl raised her eyes and looked at him. "Most people have no way of realizing their origins, let alone awakening their origins... Even those whose origins are relatively obvious are one in a million."

"And just this alone is enough to allow them to gain unimaginable advantages in certain areas. Even true geniuses may find it difficult to reach such outstanding talents. This is just a strong manifestation of the origin, not a true awakening."

"I believe you..." Xia Zhi said solemnly, "But I don't seem to feel anything."

"..."

"..."

Vivian resisted the urge to roll her eyes at him, took a deep breath, and said slowly, "Let me ask you, how difficult do you think the magic I taught you and the magic in Index's magic book are?"

"It's not that you can just - ahem, I think you still need to put in some effort to study and research before you can get the hang of it."

The young man noticed her gaze, coughed decisively, and changed his words.

"..."

"..."
