Chapter 190: Chapter 190: The Origin of Demon Patterns, the Pursuit of Truth

"Master, did he tell you everything?"

A flicker of surprise crossed Andre’s face.

"Yes. He said you had successfully forged this path, but I don’t believe it. Do you know why?"

A faint smile touched Red-haired Klein’s lips.

"Because it’s never appeared before!" Andre said in a low voice after a moment of thought.

"Correct. And do you know why it has never appeared?"

Red-haired Klein continued to question Andre.

"Because a Demon Pattern representing Chaos has never appeared in the Star Realm."

"The earliest Demon Patterns were designs discovered on Magic Plants and minerals. When Wizards realized these designs held extraordinary Power, they began to systematize them."

"And so, Demon Patterns entered the Wizard World. These patterns were the earliest prototypes of Demon Runes."

"Later, as the Wizard Civilization developed, more and more Demon Patterns were discovered. Their numbers grew, but one that could represent Chaos was never found."

"Because no object in this world is inscribed with a trace of Chaos, the Chaos Demon Pattern was always believed to be non-existent."

Andre explained the origin of Demon Patterns.

"Correct. So how did you master a Demon Pattern that has never appeared before?"

At this moment, Red-haired Klein’s eyes were filled with intense curiosity.

’If it doesn’t exist, then how could Andre possibly know about it?’

"There was no Demon Pattern in the world to represent Chaos. So, I created my own Chaos Demon Pattern!"

Following Andre’s words, the entire Central Control Room instantly fell silent. Everyone stopped what they were doing, turned their heads, and looked at Andre in surprise.

’Andre said he created his own Chaos Demon Pattern? How is that possible?’

Creating a Demon Pattern is something only a Truth Great Wizard at the level of a Red Sun Great Wizard or higher can accomplish.

Demon Patterns are the channel through which Wizards connect with Truth. Therefore, only beings who have mastered Truth can create new Demon Patterns.

But now, Andre was claiming he had bypassed this limitation and created his own Chaos Demon Pattern.

"How is this possible? What does your Chaos Demon Pattern look like?"

Red-haired Klein’s expression became exceptionally grave. He looked at Andre and said intently.

Andre immediately summoned his Book of Magic Power and presented its cover.

"What is this?" Lake asked, staring at Andre’s Book of Magic Power, his eyes full of confusion.

He couldn’t see anything on the Book of Magic Power that could possibly be a Chaos Demon Pattern.

"You can’t see it?" Andre asked, looking at Lake in surprise.

"What are you talking about?" Lake blinked, staring at Andre!!

"Don’t tell me you’re saying that dot is the Chaos Demon Pattern you created? That’s impossible!"

Alice had noticed the small dot on the cover of the Book of Magic Power and immediately shook her head.

’In her eyes, how could a mere dot represent Chaos?’

"That’s enough. Both of you, be quiet."

Red-haired Klein’s expression had calmed. He walked over to Andre, took the Book of Magic Power in his hands, and gazed at the dot on its cover.

"What was your thinking... in using this to represent Chaos?"

Red-haired Klein’s gaze on Andre was filled with delighted surprise.

He had a good idea of what Andre was thinking, but he wasn’t completely sure. He wanted to hear it from Andre himself to confirm if his guess was correct.

"Everything originates from a single source. The world, humanity, all matter—it all comes from one source. I merely depicted that source according to my own understanding," Andre said, looking at Red-haired Klein.

As he spoke, Andre’s spine—usually somewhat stooped from his work with Potions—suddenly straightened. A powerful aura of Truth began to emanate from him.

"’Source Theory,’" Red-haired Klein mused with a smile. "That idea was popular in the Wizard World for a time, but no one ever managed to truly implement it."

Andre looked at Red-haired Klein and shook his head.

"Just because no one has succeeded before doesn’t mean no one ever will. The Wizard Civilization was built upon the successive achievements of generations of Wizards."

"That is indeed the case," Red-haired Klein pressed, "but how can you be so sure that the source you chose is the correct one?"

"Grandmaster, what do you believe is the source of everything?"

Red-haired Klein was taken aback. He hadn’t expected Andre to turn the question back on him, but he answered readily. "I believe the source of all things is Magic Power. This is a universally acknowledged Truth across all worlds."

"Everything originates from Magic Power, but where does Magic Power come from? What is it made of?"

These two questions from Andre made Red-haired Klein pause again, but Andre wasn’t finished.

"Magic Power is invisible and intangible, yet it truly exists."

"Vast amounts of Magic Power can create tangible objects, such as various Elemental Crystals."

"These Elemental Crystals gather and differentiate, forming all the matter we can see."

"So I started to wonder, does Magic Power have a shape?"

"If it has a shape, then what is the shape of Magic Power?"

"I thought about it for a very long time. I relentlessly ground down materials and observed Magic Plants. In the end, I discovered that the fundamental building block of all substances, of all Magic Plants, is a point-like particle."

"Based on this discovery, I finally conceived of a pattern that could represent Magic Power—the dot, the very ’point’ of origin for all things."

"And since everything in the world emerged from Chaos, I wondered if these point-like particles were related to Chaos."

"So, I made an attempt: I used the dot as the Demon Pattern to describe Chaos."

"As it turned out, I succeeded. And so, I named it the ’Origin Point’—the original starting point."

Andre’s words were like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, striking the minds of Klein, Lake, Alice, and everyone else in the Central Control Room.

’What is the shape of Magic Power? How can it combine to form everything?’

’I’ve never really given it serious thought. The question crossed my mind once, but I quickly forgot about it.’

Red-haired Klein looked at Andre and nodded solemnly, signifying his approval of Andre’s theory.

"Excellent. Truly excellent," Red-haired Klein said, his expression serious. "This idea of yours has far exceeded my expectations."
