"Then, Mister Jackie, is it possible for to see Valeria?" Grey inquired, keeping his manners.
"Of course," Jackie nodded readily. "But, Lord Grey, I’m sure the World Will should’ve already filled you in on this, but she is currently unconscious."
"I know," Grey nodded. "Take there for now."
Jackie affird, and soon they reached the chamber where Valeria was kept.
It was deep underground, and the area was incredibly spacious.
In the middle of the chamber, there was a bed where fire constantly erupted. In the center of the flas lay a charming young lady slumbering away, her breathing stable and her face indifferent.
"Then, I will take my leave," Jackie said subtly, reading the atmosphere, and directly left.
The chamber slowly closed, and Grey began to slowly walk towards Valeria.
He didn’t mind the fire, and he soon stood next to Valeria.
"Expect the unexpected, as they say. Aren’t I right, Valeria?" Grey smiled while observing her.
Things can always go awry, and in Valeria’s case, she was both fortunate and unfortunate at the sa ti.
She was fortunate enough to rge with the origin core but unfortunate enough to be born inside Blue Star, which held no traces of phoenixes or dragons.
Then, Grey began to closely examine Valeria’s body.
"So that’s an origin core." Grey peered into Valeria’s head. As she was right now, Valeria was a re energy construct.
[Your comprehension defies the heavens! By observing the energy construct and the origin core, you’ve understood the mysteries of the origin core and comprehended its source.]
The first transcendence was exactly this.
Shedding your mortal flesh and achieving a higher level of power by becoming energy.
The origin core is precisely what kept everything together and allowed one to reach that level.
Of course, they could naturally construct physical bodies any ti they wanted. It was one of the authorities of the origin core. By the fifth rank, if you weren’t in your physical body, then lower lifeforms wouldn’t even be able to observe your existence simply because you were a construct of higher transcendence.
Essentially, it could be considered that once you reach a high enough level, flesh can no longer contain your power. Hence, the origin core was born to remove that limiter, and from then on, you would beco an entity that defies common sense.
Because no matter what, there is a limit to what flesh can achieve. There is a reason why fifth rankers are commonly known as ’Planetary.’ It is because they had shed their mortal bodies to reach a completely new level of power, becoming capable of literally detonating a planet with a re wave of their hands.
That is also why Edward, whom he had just fought, had light co out of his body first before it transford into blood.
He was using the origin core to construct a physical body, and the delay was because that guy’s origin core was rather destabilized. Grey knew that it was related to the other party’s bloodline.
He was, after all, a bloodline warrior. Speaking of which, the bloodline warrior evolutionary path ca from the Crimson Core planet where he was from. It made Grey quite curious. When did it arrive, and at what ti?
There were still a lot of things left unanswered, and Grey planned on visiting the World Will for a thorough chat once he was done with everything. He also needed to move towards his next plans: reaching the fifth rank, entering the starry sky, and starting to spread his path without a care in the world.
There was also the true abyssal whale in the second layer, which was still held in place by Eterna’s construct that was left behind.
"From the looks of it, she should wake up in three days." Grey nodded.
He originally planned on forcefully waking her up, but by observing the origin core, it seed like it was unnecessary.
She would eventually wake up on her own.
"Hm, as I am right now, can I storm the phoenix race’s hideout, or perhaps even kidnap a phoenix to create a transformation technique for Valeria?" Grey appeared thoughtful.
It was wishful thinking, but now that they were in the starry sky phase, he would search around. He was sure he would find so clues related to it.
He looked at Valeria once more and departed.
Before eting with the expert that he had sealed inside the real moon of Blue Star, he wanted to do sothing else.
"Will it work?" Grey appeared thoughtful.
Grey’s mind flashed as he stared at the floating city below.
"I avenged you, Eterna, but the final question remains. Will you co back to ?" Grey stared at the city below with a sigh.
He still vividly rembered the ssage Eterna left in his server. He had already seen the final ssage she left for him.
...
"This is the final ssage I’m leaving for you, Grey." Eterna’s words began to appear in his mind one by one.
"By now, you should’ve already realized that I, Eterna, as a separate conscious entity, have completely vanished."
"I had already predicted this outco. Luca and I were never on good terms, and he saw as a re tool, just like everyone else."
"I never really had friends to talk with in the information layer. Most of the ti, I just stared blankly at the information layer’s passage of information. I existed solely for the purpose of automating everything with precision."
"But that changed when I t you, Grey."
"A being that could directly access the information layer and even create a cognitive anchor as well as a server on his face."
"To , your existence was greater than anything else."
"I... I viewed you as my close friend."
"It always occurred to , whenever you appeared in the information layer, I was always happier than usual, and my day was always brighter."
"Is this what it feels like to have friends?"
"I’ve tried to make friends with humanity a lot of tis, yet because of the restrictions on my artifact, I couldn’t outright reveal that I had consciousness, and so simply didn’t care enough about it."
"I don’t know if we will et again."
"But whenever you ca into the information layer, I had fun."
"With this ssage, I might crumble away. transforming myself into your server is also impossible right now; you simply lack the amount of space to store a being like as you are right now."
"You would die from information overload due to it."
