Awakening：The Infinite Evolution of My Talent as a Low-Level Awakener

In this moment, Sterl found himself at a loss for words, struggling to describe the feelings churning inside him.

Even though he had absorbed an unimaginable amount of world essence and information, far surpassing the knowledge he once possessed and his own understanding, this discovery still struck him with a sense of awe so profound that he could hardly believe it.

How vast is the Endless Void?

It encompasses The Myriad Worlds—an aggregation of countless worlds and timelines. And yet, this colossal, unfathomably immense collective, within the mother river, felt like a tiny, insignificant fruit hanging from the branch of a towering tree, almost inconceivably small!

"Simply... simply..."

He stood there, momentarily stunned, unsure of how to express the sheer scale of the disparity.

From the perspective of the mother river, if even The Myriad Worlds within the Endless Void was a mere trivial part, then what, in the grand scheme of things, was the so-called terrifying calamity—the Silver-white Cataclysm, or even Dreamland, that existed in the void where he once resided?

A battle of microorganisms on a fruit?

In that case, as the new ruler of the Land of Nightmares, did that make him nothing more than a leader among countless microbial chieftains?

Microbial chieftain—that certainly was an interesting title.

At that thought, Sterl suddenly realized how laughable his past efforts and notions of strength had been.

Of course, at his level now, especially after absorbing such an overwhelming amount of information, his willpower remained unwavering, unshaken by this revelation. After all, he had once been nothing more than an ordinary human at the lowest rungs of existence.

Moreover, having now understood his true pursuit, he no longer cared about these matters. He was simply shaken by the revelation of the world's truth.

At that moment, Sterl took a deep breath, and his gaze grew profound. He spoke slowly to the silent space, where only the mother river existed.

"Then... what are you?"

"You allowed me to transform from an ordinary D-level talent into the being I am now. You showed me the existence of the mother river and the truth of the world, so... what are you?"

It was as though he were speaking to himself, muttering softly, but his expression was filled with unshakable determination.

And just as he finished speaking, the unknown force that had always loomed in the unseen seemed to respond to him.

A pure beam of white light descended from above.

The light was pure beyond measure, warm and gentle, as though it were the very origin of all life—the Source of Energy itself.

Sterl calmly raised his head, following the direction in which the light radiated.

This pure white light nearly enveloped the entire mother river, shining down on all the bubble-like vast worlds. Under the radiance of this white light, the bubbles that represented the worlds seemed to expand ever so slightly, as if swelling in size.

This sensation... it was like a fruit that had absorbed all the moisture, now looking plump, juicy, and fresh.

"Is this... the true origin of the cheat?"

Sterl forcibly suppressed the shock within him, speaking slowly, word by word.

His instincts told him that the source of this light might be an existence even more towering than the mother river itself!

In fact, the mother river might exist precisely because of the power it provided.

In other words... the mysterious cheat he possessed could very well be the creation of the mother river's maker, and also the creator of all the vast worlds!

This discovery was, for Sterl, like an earthquake that shook his entire worldview!

He had once thought that his cheat might be a unique ability born from his otherworldly soul, or perhaps a precious treasure obtained during his transmigration, or even the inheritance of a top-tier power, or a relic from a powerful race. Maybe... it was part of a grand conspiracy.

But when he truly understood the truth behind it, it was far more brutal than he had imagined!

'No wonder, no wonder the cheat's functions are so unreasonable, simple and brutal, without considering even the most basic laws.'

'No wonder that even with the power of Dimension Perception, I couldn't sense a single trace of its form.'

'No wonder I could transform from an ordinary person to the level I am now. This is truly...'

His thoughts raced in his mind. Even though he had prepared himself, he still found himself momentarily stunned.

"Cheat? Well, based on the meaning of the so-called cheat, you could indeed refer to me that way.

However, this is merely a small tool I created using Primordial Power. It has no independent will or true spirit."

A vague, powerful voice suddenly appeared in Sterl's mind, instantly snapping him out of his stupor.

"Primordial Power?"

Sterl quickly regained his composure. He wasn't foolish enough to be shocked just because the voice spoke.

If his guess was correct, and the origin of the cheat was the creator of the mother river, then he wouldn't be surprised even if the entity created an entire vast world right under his nose.

Just like how one wouldn't be surprised by a divine miracle, because that is simply the expected behavior of a deity.

The voice in his mind chuckled softly a few times. Clearly, every thought he had was fully exposed to the entity's perception, as its existence was many layers beyond his own.

"Primordial Power, this is the power that I possess, or rather, my very existence is the condensation of all Primordial Power.

All living beings who have come into contact with me have always called me, Primordial Light.

This power is the foundation and source of all existence. The mother river below me, the thing you call the mother river, is something that has naturally formed after being continuously influenced by the power I instinctively radiate.

In fact, you were so close, so close to touching the lower derivative of Primordial Power. Although it is merely the power nurtured by the mother river, and its might is only a fraction of the true, primordial strength, it is still far beyond what ordinary powers can compare to. Mastering that power grants you the qualification to briefly survive within the mother river."

The voice began to patiently explain to Sterl.

Upon hearing this, Sterl paused for a moment.

"So you're talking about the world beyond my sea of consciousness?"

Sterl immediately recalled the endless light that had seeped through the cracks of the sea of consciousness. It turned out that this was merely a lower derivative of Primordial Power, a force birthed by the mother river imitating Primordial Power.

This also made him even more certain that after reaching soul level 100, one would be able to wield such power.

"That's right, mastering that power is the prerequisite. To put it in your terms, you would need your soul level to reach 100."

"Actually, I didn't expect you to reach the prerequisite so quickly. But now it seems that this is the unknown..."

"Unknown?"

Sterl furrowed his brows, faintly sensing a hidden meaning behind those words.

The speaker was Primordial Light, the creator of the mother river, the source of all existence!

In other words, Primordial Light represented everything that existed!

This existence encompassed all physical existence—various forms of energy, and mental existence—souls, consciousness, and even many things that were beyond Sterl's comprehension.

At such a level, one should be able to instantly perceive the fate of all living beings and worlds.

Or rather, with a single thought, one could rewrite any fate.

So why did his rapid growth surprise Primordial Light?

At this thought, Sterl suddenly understood much more, even catching a faint glimpse of the key core behind it all.

"Your guess is correct. This is the reason I chose you."

Primordial Light did not hide anything and directly affirmed his guess.

In the next moment, its consciousness began to slowly rise.

The endless mother river, which connected the entire space, became smaller and clearer in Sterl's eyes.

The whole mother river was even vaster than he had imagined. Countless tributaries formed a dense web of veins, connecting countless vast worlds.

The density of those bubble-like vast worlds was so immense that, even with his mental power, Sterl could not analyze it all at once.

Even though he had risen to a level close to that of Primordial Light, he still couldn't fully comprehend the vastness of the mother river.

Occasionally, he could see bubbles, each representing a vast world, bursting, or new bubbles slowly forming and being born. The sight was truly spectacular.

"The mother river is special. After being radiated and nurtured by my power, it has continuously grown instinctively. Even now, the scope of the mother river is something that even I cannot fully understand.

I suspect that your existence is the result of what the mother river has created."

The voice of Primordial Light came again, interrupting Sterl's thoughts.

He looked up. The so-called Primordial Light truly resembled a white light orb, but the radiance it emitted was incredibly pure and extreme, a power beyond anything Sterl could have imagined.

"If that's the case, then isn't the mother river the unknown you speak of?"

Sterl asked the question that had been on his mind.

Primordial Light immediately responded to his query.

"Of course not. I am all that exists. The mother river was created by my power, and it is an integral part of existence itself. It can never be the unknown.

But you... you are different."

Upon hearing this, Sterl fell silent, simply waiting quietly.

He already understood well in his heart that the true key to the evolution of his cheat was that single prerequisite.

Only after fulfilling that prerequisite could Primordial Light draw him into this realm.

Otherwise, with his strength, even with the protection of Primordial Light, he would not have been able to survive even a single second here.

Now, since Primordial Light had chosen to reveal itself, it would undoubtedly explain everything to him.

As for the final outcome, that was no longer within his realm of consideration or decision-making. After all, with Primordial Light's power, a single thought could determine his fate.
