A Year of Great Undertakings - Book 6, Chapter 60: History 1 (1/2)

The Spring of I else

And the Arcanists had been the first ones to propose it

During the height of the Arcana Kingdom’s power, they had proposed all kinds of unique ideas, atte them all to fruition

There was one topic in particular that had caught the attention of all the Intelligent Races — the plans for the Spring of I of Ia Yind’s research, Origin Energy would take on a liquid forh density This was the theory behind the existence of the Origin Energy Sea As such, his hope was to invent soy in this liquid form

In other words, he wanted to ey Well

This way, he would have a boundless store of Origin Energy for him to use

This was the initial concept behind the Spring of Ie as it progressed

It was quickly deein Energy Well wasn’t any less than utilizing the Origin Sea in the first place If a source of liquid Origin Energy already existed, then ould anyone try to create a replica that was just as hard to use? That was truly an idiotic endeavor

However, there were others who took this concept in new directions

Then soy was extremely malleable and could take onof Iy source but rather in its extreme adaptability

It could serve as a foundation for Origin Energy to transform even more drastically

With this philosophy in an to take shape

However, this research redodoent Races divvied up the spoils Ae because of their love for it and their great interest in the profound secrets of this world

The Astrals had then established their Idom, and the Astral leader was crowned Achilles the Immortal His viceroy was, naturally, Diomedes

In the 1000th year of the New Star Era, Dio to finish the Arcanists’ research

Because of the Astrals’ unique form of existence, their physicality had always been questioned

They theenuine lifeforms Their bodies werethehosts

But the other races believed that the Astrals were ghosts!

At first, there were no such things as ghosts, but the Dark Astrals had created a new lifefore Their actions had fulfilled as, at that point in ti more than a fairy tale

The Astrals could not accept this classification They had converted theer and better lives, not for theh this appeared to be nothing more than semantics on the surface, it was still an important distinction Their very reason for existence was being targeted and attacked Just as laere vital to a country and teachings to a sect, a race’s view of themselves was of utmost importance as it touched upon the very reason why they existed in the first place

The hosts’ was thatwhether there was any point to living a life such as this

This kind of self-doubting, fatalistic viewpoint could quickly lead to the demise of an entire race

Dio of Iy creation theory

The theory of Origin Energy creation had been initially proposed by one of the Arcana Kingdoy research, and during the course of his studies, he had discovered that one of the unique properties of liquified Origin Energy was that it could create organichypothesis: of the y was involved in the for point, he was able to deduce a fascinating conclusion: the creatures living on the Priin Energy Sea It was Origin Energy that had created everything in the beginning, including a variety of different lifeforer and others weaker was because soanisms had been created with a purer life essence, while others had received a muddied version The forin Races and the latter the Intelligent Races

If he was able to discover the principles behind Origin Energy creation, then it would be possible for the Astrals to obtain their own physical fory creation theory,

Unfortunately, the Arcana Kingdom had been too prolific in its research at the ti disseminated, and Kader’s proposal hadn’t attracted much attention It had been quickly sed up by the passage of tiotten

Until the fateful day it fell into Diomedes’ hands

In it, Dioain their purpose for living

He was going to use this theory to revitalize the Astrals!

This was a very grandiose and risky train of thought, but Diomedes believed that it was possible

For the Astrals, who had forsaken their corporeal form, their own bodies were the perfect research material There was no need to overly treasure the of Immortality were set in motion Actually, it was probablyof Life Its prithen a lifeform at a fundamental level Of course, the Astrals could also use it to weaken their opponents — as long as they were able to y creation theory, they would be able to perform all kinds of modifications on different lifeforht have become the next ultra-powerful race to rule the continent They would have had the Origin Beasts’ control over Origin Energy, an undying body, and a powerful consciousness Perhaps it wouldn’t even be too much to consider them the perfect creature

Fortunately, they had not succeeded
