“But large amounts of Energy in a concentrated area can create spirits strong enough to matter, right?” he asked. “I can see that there are things like mountain spirit or lake spirit, are those the size you need? That massive?”

Ning thought about what the system said for a bit and was surprised.

“They’re like Wills?” he asked. “It’s not categorized as Will in my knowledge.”

“Hmm.” He had always known about the 3 requirements for Wills, but he had never expected something like that to exist for other forms of spirits as well.

“Can mountain ranges be spirits too?” he asked. “I mean, does the increase in Energy have any bearing on the amount of perception that is required to create a spirit of the mountain range?”

“Makes sense,” Ning said, moving on to the next part of the question. “Why perception? What is it about perception that creates these souls? Even Wills.”

“Wouldn’t the creator of the Energy System know?” Ning asked. “He made the system, so he should have some idea, right? Why would a Soul cause perception to matter?”

“Even though he made something so great as the Energy system?” he asked. “Does he not know how souls work?”

“So he really doesn’t know about anything regarding this matter, huh?” he asked. “Then I guess we can move on from this question, but I have one more to ask.”

“You once told me that the Creator lives outside the infinite. Is that… the Omniverse?” he asked.

“And the Realm of Souls is the same, right?” he asked.

Ning thought for a bit, trying to go back to questioning souls and memories, but there seemed something else that he desperately needed to understand.

“Correct me if I’m wrong, but if all Matter, Space, and even Time is made up of Energy, then… the Realm of Matter, or as we know it as a Universe, is in contact with the Realm of Energy somehow, right?”

“Maybe not surrounded by the Realm of Energy, but at least in contact,” he said. “How else could Realm of Matter form from Energy?”

“Woah!” Ning couldn’t help but say in surprise. “That’s how they are created?”

‘A large amount of energy collapsing onto itself…’ he thought. ‘The moment at the end of the Collapse, I wonder if that’s what they call the singularity that burst forth to create the universe.’

This made him have another question, but that would have to wait in line, right in front of the questions about Souls and Systems.

“If the Universes are surrounded by Energy, how come they are also surrounded by Souls as well in such a way that they can come in and out easily?” he asked.
