After arranging for A Xing to take Ashan and Feng Cheng with him, Su Hao stopped concerning himself with anything else and returned directly to the Islet to continue studying the properties of source.
Ever since cultivating Divine Intent, he had already sensed that the day when he would unveil source's mysterious veil was not far away.
Most crucially, perhaps source really could help him solve the Heavenly Stone that would arrive a hundred years later. Of course, it could also be something else.
With the aid of Divine Intent, Su Hao summarized several traits and patterns in just a few days.
"First, source is something like space, without gaps. It can be divided into different parts, yet has no fixed smallest unit. Every division releases a certain amount of energy; second, if one Source Pearl is defined as one unit of space, then there is theoretically no limit to the amount of 'source' a single unit of space can store. In other words, theoretically, after all matter in the entire infinite universe is converted into source, it could be stuffed into the same Source Pearl. Of course, that is only theory. Whether it can actually be achieved is unknown. Perhaps Source Pearls are what astronomers call 'inferior versions of singularities'; third, source can be converted into pure energy in various forms, and can also be converted into unstable types of matter. The converted matter has the same properties as real matter, but is extremely unstable. Without continued support from source, it will collapse within two hours at most. However, after collapsing, the matter will randomly aggregate into certain elements or compounds, turning into genuine real-world matter;
Fourth, matter can in turn be converted into source, but only under specific conditions can it form uniform Source Pearls; fifth, a Source
