"Evolution World? That really was an unusual name."
The three-layered world originally had no proper name. Some speculated that "names" held an excessively special meaning in this world and could not be spread around.
Even the mortals of the Surface World had rather vague names for the regions and nations they inhabited.
The findings from Lu PingAn's research and intelligence exchanges subtly confirmed that this was an effect of the world's fundamental nature.
It had blurred the boundary between "matter" and "consciousness."
This was the prerequisite for all distortions and strange phenomena.
Matter and consciousness could easily be converted into each other at an extremely low rate of loss. Thus, after life died, souls still remained, rematerializing after death to form the so-called world after death.

"In this world, God Speech-type spells should be incredibly powerful."
"Indeed. But they'll also get you killed. That 'speech' is equivalent to tearing a piece directly off your soul. Keep using it, and you'll die."

This was no longer speculation. It was reality, proven by a number of unlucky fools.
In a sense, high-level pure Scholars were not particularly valued in this world. Even Lu PingAn did not really dare use law-type abilities.
Just like the local supernatural beings needed an external Tuning Fork to use "sound," users of God Speech who directly used themselves as the "vocalizer" would
