The Truth and Nothingness

Wu Pifu saw the root's corpse!

The moment he saw the person lying in the laboratory, he saw endless negative contamination erupting from them in all directions. Yet this negative contamination did not originate from the person's sea of consciousness. Instead, using them as an anchor point, it came from a higher level, a higher dimension.

But at that moment, Wu Pifu saw what that higher level and higher dimension truly were...

Roots could not be seen, known, or sensed because they possessed the perfect trait of a self-contained loop. The information of their very existence was highly condensed and contracted inward, forming an informational Black Hole Domain. Apart from information released by the root itself, only other roots of the same level and dimension, or the most powerful and exceptional Ascendant Bodies, could perceive their existence.

Simply put, the existence of a root was fundamentally a secret. Lifeforms below its level and dimension could not confirm its existence by any means.

Yet Wu Pifu could now see this root's corpse. The instant he saw it, he immediately understood that several coincidences had come together to allow him to see it.

Although its information remained a secret to ordinary mortals and the vast majority of Ascendant Bodies, secrets had levels too. This secret had suddenly fallen from state-top-secret information to the level of petty jealousy in a besties' group chat. The drop in confidentiality was astonishing.

Second, even so, its information still could not be
