Ian's breathing paused for a moment. He felt a bit taken aback but quickly regained his composure, sensing the spiritual key emerging within him.
This spiritual key was essentially an encrypted stream of information… In theory, nothing from the simulation could truly materialize in Ian's hands.
After all, simulations are not about altering the past or twisting future cause and effect to create something from nothing—rather, it extracts information from the Domain of Void and, combined with the Forest Ocean Spirit's simulation abilities, provides Ian with a virtual possibility.
However, most of the information within this virtual possibility actually once existed but never came to fruition due to various coincidences and circumstances.
For instance, like the research on the Domain of Extremes belonging to Hiliard that Ian had seen earlier.
The teacher had surely intended to pass it on to him at some point, perhaps even drafting it mentally long before.
