Chen Yuan had always believed that Origin expansion was the chief culprit behind a world's destruction.
But after mastering True Spirit Power, he discovered that besides energy, the Source World also preserved every historical imprint within it.
These imprints occupied the world's processing capacity, equivalent to a human brain or a computer's CPU.
An energy overload would destroy the entire world, but an overloaded brain would lead to the same outcome.
"I previously helped the Origin World absorb its excess Origin Energy, which could indeed delay the world's destruction to a certain extent."
Chen Yuan shook his head. "But if these historical imprints aren't dealt with, it only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. This world will enter a state of destruction sooner or later."
At this point, he finally understood.
Every life born into the world left an imprint behind, which was history. The Source World preserved all of that history, and as it accumulated, it naturally began to occupy more and more processing capacity.
In truth, history was not too troublesome, because it could be backed up through the Time Origin. Once the backup was complete, it no longer needed constant attention.
True Spirits were different. They belonged to the soul and could not be affected by time. Remaining in the world, each was like a piece of data that could never be deleted, occupying part of the world's processing power.
Moreover, the Origin World had no Reincarnation and could not process the True Spirits of the dead on its own. Every new life born meant another new True Spirit in the world, causing them to accumulate in ever greater numbers.
"Not only that, every new life means a new True Spirit must be condensed from scratch, rather than replacing it with another True Spirit. That also
