Demon Hunter and His Cabin
Chapter 232 - Chapter 232 Chapter 232 The Spirit of the World

Chapter 232: Chapter 232: The Spirit of the World Chapter 232: Chapter 232: The Spirit of the World “Spiritual Energy resides within every living creature, and there is even a belief that all things in nature, be it a tree or a stone, possess a corresponding spirit…”

“…Using Spiritual Energy to explain the world is something we Spirit Mediums should strive to practice…”

“On this basis, we may venture a hypothesis, that if humans can possess a spirit, and animals can possess a spirit, then every entity in the world could have a spirit.”

“What about the world that composes all of this, then?”

“Could it be that in dimensions beyond our understanding, in the realm of the unknowable, the world we live in also has its own spirit?”

“And this spirit could be the aggregate of all things in the world, the sum of all spirits…”

Miles stood on the dais, speaking confidently, his eyes quickly scanning over the many people below who had been captivated by his theory, and what mattered more was…

If the timing was right, at that moment, Miss Egger would be in a room on the second floor, accompanied by her sister, listening to his lecture.

This part of his presentation had been carefully prepared.

The speculation was bold, and ordinary Spirit Mediums might not discern the particular hidden messages within, but Miss Egger, who had been conducting research in this area, would certainly catch his implications.

“Quite interesting…”

In a room on the second floor, a middle-aged woman with an average appearance and a kind face nodded with a smile.

“This young fellow is called Miles, right?”

The middle-aged woman was none other than the organizer of this exchange meeting, the renowned Dream Diviner, Egger.

“He’s your younger brother?”

“Yes, teacher,” came a pleasant voice from behind.

“Although it’s only speculation, this direction of conjecture is quite intriguing. He offers a unique perspective in explaining the origins of the Cursed Land; if the world is an amalgamation of spirits.”

“There might also be operational methods that we don’t comprehend, which could provide numerous explanations for the emergence of Cursed Lands.”

“A promising young man,” Egger nodded.

For the real world, the Cursed Land is akin to a tumor on a normal person; if these things proliferate in number, they will certainly affect the operation of the regular world.

“After the lecture ends, have him come here, I would like to hear his thoughts on this view,” Egger said.

At this point in the conversation, if everything went as anticipated, the sole student slot was virtually decided.

“Thank you, teacher, for giving Miles such a precious opportunity.”

Miles’s sister, Nicole, was a young woman with a striking figure, exuding a sizzling aura in every move.

Soon, an exhilarated Miles was brought up to the second floor.

After a brief introduction, Miles understood the message conveyed through his sister’s eyes: as long as he performed normally, the outcome could be pre-determined.

“I caught the hidden message in your recent lecture, you were implying the Cursed Land, weren’t you?” Egger inquired.

“It’s inconvenient to discuss the Cursed Land in public, so you must have reservations. I’d like to hear your true thoughts,” Egger continued.

Miles took a deep breath.

“In the Transcendent World, Spirit Mediums virtually have no direct combat abilities, but Spiritual Energy can explain many phenomena, which inspired me.”

“Each of us is a complex aggregate, and the world to us is akin to how we are to our own cells…”

“So I believe that the world we live in also has its own spirit, of course the form it takes is yet unknown to us, but if we start from this perspective.”

“Then the invasion of the Cursed Land could be likened to conflicts between individuals in the real world.”

“So far, every discovered Cursed Land operates under its unique set of rules, many of which are bizarre, defying the normal physical laws and energy laws of the real world.”

“And because of the independence and specificity of each Cursed Land, we tend to consider them separately.”

“But if we follow my previous theory, perhaps all the Cursed Lands we are facing are just different parts of one colossal entity.”

Seeing the smile in Egger’s eyes, Miles was invisibly encouraged, his thoughts clear and flowing.

“It’s like blind men feeling an elephant. We are not dealing with countless Cursed Lands, but in fact, only the incomplete manifestations of one being.”

“Now, the development of the Cursed Lands is contained, which may not be our temporary victory, but simply the opponent accumulating power.”

“When there is a sufficient number of Cursed Lands of enough size, reaching a certain critical point, it’s quite possible… significant changes will occur.”

Miles seemed hesitant, but seeing the encouragement in Egger’s eyes, he took a deep breath.

“At that time, there may be an apocalypse-like outbreak!”

After saying this, he looked at Egger somewhat anxiously.

“End-of-world theories?”

Egger furrowed her brow slightly, “A bit radical, but it has a bit of originality.”

Miles couldn’t quite fathom what Egger was thinking at that moment.

“Some thoughts,” Egger nodded, “but they need to be more stable.”

Miles felt a sinking feeling, but then he noticed a hint of relief flashing across Nicole’s face.

“Ms. Egger?”

“Not calling me ‘teacher’ yet?”

Nicole pretended to scold sternly.

Miles was overjoyed; he knew his wish had been granted!

“Work hard!”

Egger reminded him, but then she seemed to remember something, “I recall there was a girl named Hathaway, quite talented. Why have I not seen her today?”

Miles felt a pang in his heart, but he quickly adjusted his expression, “Hathaway?”

“Are you referring to the young woman of a petite stature, wearing a dress?”

Miles nodded.

“I’ve communicated with her before, she is an outstanding Spirit Medium, at least in some aspects I cannot compare to her.”

Hearing this, Egger silently nodded, though the motion was slight, Miles, standing opposite her, noticed.

Miles knew he had achieved his goal, and then he smoothly changed the subject, “Just yesterday I heard people mention her, she and a companion were researching a Spiritual Energy Game.”

“It seems to be called… Gwent Card…”

“Spiritual Energy Game?”

“Gwent Card?”

Curiosity flashed in Egger’s eyes, but just then, Nicole, standing to the side, whispered a reminder:

“Teacher, it’s getting late, Mr. Heller could arrive at any moment, should we…?”

“Is it that late already?”

Egger’s attention was drawn away.

“Well then, let’s go meet Mr. Heller first; we can talk more about the meeting tomorrow.”

She nodded.

“From my dreams, I received a hint that this exchange will be an important turning point in my life.”

Egger smiled, “I had some doubts, but unexpectedly, I gained the opportunity to meet Mr. Heller in the last few days after hosting the exchange!”

Egger was in high spirits.

“Work hard, Miles, and strive to become my fourth disciple!”
