Dominating Evolution of the Cosmos

122 Limitless Imagination

"Does the spirit really exist? After all, it is invisible and matter-less. So, how could it become a living person, like you?" Steve shook his head in disbelief.

"Spiritual power exists naturally, like a human thought. In fact, every thought that human beings' have are made possible by using spiritual power," Judy explained. "The Lemurian civilization were experts at harnessing this spiritual power. As the spiritual power became stronger, everything in the universe could be manipulated by just one single thought. At this time, one single thought could transform any matter in the universe."

After he heard this, Steve suddenly remembered the portrait that he had seen on the wall along his journey. In that picture, there were indeed such human beings! They could easily empty the whole sea and dry it up. They could even extinguish the flames of the sun and summon countless stars. For these beings, it seemed that almost nothing was impossible!

"Spiritual power can really accomplish such things?" Steve was stunned.

"Yes! Metals can be turned into gases, and light energy can become titanium alloy! As long as your imagination is rich enough and your spiritual power is strong enough, everything is possible," Judy said with a laugh.

Steve was silent, but a tsunami-like shock filled his heart. This was because everything that he had seen on his journey thus far was true, including Judy, who was standing right in front of him!

"But, if the spiritual power is really omnipotent, then why did you lose the war?" Steve asked.

Judy's face revealed a sorrowful look, then she said, "You're suspicions are right, as it's impossible for spiritual power to be truly omnipotent. This is because spiritual power is just spiritual power."

This seemingly absurd answer made Steve frown, as he did not understand Judy's meaning.

"To put it simply, the spiritual power that the Lemurians practiced can change all matter. In fact, if you think of water as iron, water will naturally become iron. But, this practice only has an effect on non-living things," Judy said.

"Non-living things? But, aren't you a living thing?" Steve wondered aloud.

Judy shook her head and said, "I've already told you, I'm a spiritual body. If you look at it in terms of touch and appearance, then I am basically the same as an ordinary living person. However, I am formed by a group of spirits. So, I'm not really a living thing."

Steve still did not fully understand, so remained confused. He said, "To be blunt, you are not a living person. So, that means that you are merely a spiritual body that looks like a living person."

"Correct! For example, when I die, there won't be a corpse left behind. Instead, it will just be the spiritual power that dissipates and will then disappear from the world. As such, at least in this world, there will no traces of my existence remaining," Judy lamented.

From observing her present appearance, emotions, expressions and so on, Steve felt that she was exactly the same as a living person. Moreover, when she was touched, Judy even felt like a real living person. In fact, she was an imaginary real person, formed by a collection of thoughts.

"I understand it now. Human beings are made up of cells, and you are formed by imaginary thoughts. Therefore, there are no cells in you, so no real life exists in you!" Steve said.

"You are very smart. This is also the biggest flaw of spiritual power, because this means that spiritual power cannot create a real life." Judy sighed.

Steve suddenly thought of something and asked, "If that is the case, will spiritual power be completely exhausted one day?"

Judy's face turned pale. She then nodded sadly. "Yes, the spiritual power will slowly fade away. However, the disappearance of spiritual power is determined by the strength and mind of the individual wielding it. For example, if his strength can be comparable to the gods, then his spiritual power can achieve immortality. The spiritual power then will never dissipate."

Judy paused to let her information sink in, then continued. "At the same time, if a person's emotions are very strong, such as love, when this love stays unchanged until death, then eternal life will never change, and the spiritual power formed by this persistence will never disappear."

Judy showed a helpless expression, then said, "But, it's too hard to have spiritual power that is comparable to God, or to have everlasting love until death."

Steve suddenly asked a key question, "If the spiritual power is exhausted, will the transformed matter return to its original state? For example, if water was turned into iron, would it then return to being water?"

"Correct! When spiritual power is exhausted, the material will recover and be restored to its original state," Judy confirmed.

Steve sighed. Indeed, spiritual power was not omnipotent. Otherwise, the Lemuria civilization would have been matchless and would not have been defeated by the rulers of the past.

Judy looked at Steve and asked, "I'm curious. You're not a Lemurian, so you're obviously weak in your spiritual power. So, just how did you get in here and manage to wake me up?"

"I was relying on this to bring me here," Steve said, while taking out the seven-colored egg. In fact, he was also very curious as to what the seven-colored egg was guiding him to find here.

Judy took the seven-colored egg in her own hands carefully, her curiosity apparent in her face. She then observed aloud, "There is a very strong spiritual force and vitality here..."

After Judy looked at it for a while, she suddenly looked shocked, her eyes wide open in disbelief. She then asked, "This... This is... Is this the experimental product of that year? The experiment of that year... Was it a success?"

Judy was so excited, tears were streaming down her cheeks. However, this scene only made Steve confused.

"What happened, Miss Judy?" Steve asked.

"Where did you get this?" Judy grabbed Steve's hand with excitement. The insanely-delighted look on her face scared Steve.

"I stole it from someone else, but I heard it was found in a relic," Steve replied.

"Quick! Take me there!" Judy was wild with excitement.

Steve's shoulders were hurting, since Judy had grabbed him so hard in her excitement. He said, "Miss Judy, calm down. I don't know actually where the relic is. Besides, are you even able to leave the battleship in your current state?"

Judy suddenly sobered up, then showed signs of embarrassment over her previous fit of excitement. She then gave the seven-colored egg back to Steve and said, "Sorry, I was just so excited. I am really sorry if I hurt you..."

Judy was sincere in her apology. Seeing this, Steve waved his hand and asked, "I am alright, but can you tell me what it is?"

"I don't know exactly what it is, but it may be the highest crystallization of the Lemuria civilization!" Judy sounded excited all over again.

"If you don't know what it is, how can you be sure that it is the highest crystallization of the Lemuria civilization?" Steve was puzzled.
