Biodata
| Feature | Value |
|---|---|
| Name | Source (源) |
| Type | A critical-state “thing” between matter and energy, according to Su Hao’s research hypothesis 553 |
| Associated Users | Source Mages, who draw and release it through Source Pearls 519 |
| Status | Extant; its deeper nature and the conditions that preserve it remain under investigation 526 553 |
| First Appearance | Chapter 515 |
Nature and Properties
| Property | Details |
|---|---|
| Critical state | Source is perceived as existing exactly between release and non-release—likened to the zero point between positive and negative values. It contains violently suppressed energy that may respond to perception and attempt to erupt. 515 |
| Matter–energy intermediary | Su Hao theorizes that Source is neither ordinary matter nor energy, but an objective existence at their conversion threshold. 553 |
| Instability | Outside the special conditions that preserve it, Source is believed to become stable matter or ubiquitous energy. 553 |
| No minimum unit | Source appears continuous, like space: it can be divided, but has no confirmed smallest unit. Dividing it releases energy. 555 |
| Extreme storage potential | If a Source Pearl is treated as one spatial unit, Su Hao theorizes that its Source capacity has no upper limit; this remains unproven. 555 |
| Marble Space incompatibility | Information relating to Source cannot be recorded in the Marble Space, depriving Su Hao of his usual primary research tool. 526 |
Source Fields and Transformation
Source Artifacts continuously emit a special force field, designated the Source Field by Su Hao. Matter exposed to this field has a small probability of becoming a temporarily unobservable state suspected to be Source. 552
- Biological energies such as Blood Qi and Spirit Power transform rapidly under a Source Field because of their high activity. 552
- Wood, soil, metal, and rock transform much more slowly; sand is especially resistant and can isolate a Source Field, explaining its use in storing Source Artifacts. 552
- Su Hao later identifies extreme heating of minute particles as the fundamental mechanism of matter-to-Source conversion, though the force responsible for such heating remains unknown. 579
- Source Beasts are valuable research subjects because observing a creature’s full transformation may reveal how ordinary matter becomes Source. 570
Use and Applications
Source Mage Casting
Source Mages draw a thread of Source from a Source Pearl and release it through an individualized casting method. The method varies with each mage’s understanding of Source. 519
- A Xing demonstrates drawing mist-like Source from a pearl before releasing an invisible wave that splits a distant rock. 519
- A Source Pearl’s purity affects its suitability for use; A Xing considers Su Hao’s pearl too pure for a beginner. 519
- Source Mage abilities can produce effects that conventional combat power cannot easily counter, including the Fantasy System ability “Let’s Be Friends.” 514
Source Artifacts
Source Artifacts are exceptional objects that cannot be replicated or matched within the Marble Space. 552
- Spirit Power can activate a Source Artifact, causing it to emit light. 549
- Their Source Fields can influence surrounding matter and drive gradual conversion into Source. 552
- Source Artifacts must be stored with isolation measures, such as sand, due to their persistent fields. 552
Source Conversion
Su Hao pursues Source as a means of converting between matter and energy, believing mastery of stable conversion would grant broad creative and destructive possibilities. 549 553
- Centuries later, he can directly produce one-fifth of the Mall’s available items from Source, including an Energy Gun created on demand. 877
- This capability is framed as a preliminary form of “creation from nothing,” though it is limited to items he can already convert. 877
Research History
- Su Hao first directly perceives Source through a crystal ball and identifies its extreme suppression, violence, and critical-state nature. 515
- He begins a dedicated Source research program, setting himself a one-hundred-year deadline and recognizing the inability to record Source information in the Marble Space as a major obstacle. 526
- By experimenting with Source Artifacts, he identifies Source Fields and their differing effects on biological energy, ordinary materials, and sand. 552
- He theorizes that Source is the intermediary state in matter–energy conversion and that its stable existence depends on an unusual planetary or cosmic environment. 553
- Su Hao investigates Spiritual Traits as possible factors that guide or influence Source, assigning Ashan and Feng Cheng related experiments. 567 568
- He develops a large-scale observation strategy for witnessing the transformation of ordinary creatures into Source Beasts. 570
- He concludes that extreme heating of tiny particles is the core process behind matter-to-Source conversion, while the origin of the heating force remains unresolved. 579
