Congratulations on constructing a proper shuttle for your avatar. However, it is a bad idea to launch this shuttle beyond reality at the moment.

I have lightly mentioned entropy. But you must understand this completely before you can progress.

Just like in reality. Energy is most useful when it is concentrated. But less useful when it is spread out.

You have an eternal consciousness. But it can still experience what I would call 'entropy'. Think of this like the lifespan of a hidden existence.

That is a bad example.

Think about this like efficiency of your existence.

You have your global existence rotating your visualization technique. The same is the case with your true existences.

This entire time. You have been converting energy from reality into energy outside of it. But this conversion rate isn't 100%.

This energy also 'decays' and converts itself back to physical energy. Whether this is heat or something else.

But you must remember that energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can only change form. So think about the true source of your energy.

It isn't the visualization technique itself. It is the sun.

This energy has changed form many times and has been used by your body to practice the technique.

The lower the entropy the more efficient you are using your energy. The higher the entropy the more the energy is being wasted.

You aren't breaking the laws of physics from this technique. You are simply using the processing power of reality as a resource.

The brain is converting power into consciousness.

You are then converting consciousness into an alternate type of power.

You then use this type of power to create consciousness without the brain.

What happens when your original body dies?

Well, you have the 'eternal thread'. You can continue to rotate the technique despite not having a body. But where are you pulling energy from?

The source is no longer the sun.

This is easy to explain.

Mental energy is converting consciousness into energy. Because you followed this technique, you can exist without a body.

But instead of converting physical energy into mental energy. You are doing something far more dangerous. You have branded yourself on nonexistence.

Your global existence. The thing that makes you a hidden existence.

You are converting your life experiences, your memories into mental energy through the technique.

This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

What does this mean?

This means entropy for a hidden existence starts to increase the longer they go without a body.

Because you are 'recycling' your consciousness through the technique.

This is why it is important to always be rotating the technique. You are always building up mental energy.

This also means your entropy will stay at 0% as long as you are generating the same amount of energy consumed.

But when you start to consume more mental energy then you generate, entropy will start to rise.

If you reach 100% entropy (which is almost impossible).

You will suffer the equivalent of dementia, but for hidden existences. Your memories will become a fog and you will lose your personality.

Reaching 50% entropy (far more likely) will still cause issues.

There are many ways to protect yourself from such a fate.

You just need to control the rate you spend mental energy. This technique was designed based on dreams of the inheritor.

You are operating on a surplus of energy.

The artifact you built in your paradise that can revive you. It requires mental energy to do so.

If you somehow reach 100% entropy and have no mental energy left.

You will fall into a semi-conscious state. In this state, your consciousness will experience something similar to being 'paralyzed'.

It is a horrible fate.

It is far worse then death.

To prevent such a fate. This step will prepare you.

----------------------------------------

Let us perform an exercise for old times sake.

Follow these steps:

1.) Enter your Paradise.

2.) Enter your original body.

3.) Enter an alternate body.

4.) Visualize your global existence 'key'.

5.) Visualize your true existences 'key'.

6.) Visualize your energy field.

Think about the average person. You yourself have been storing your excess mental energy in your energy field. The cost of your consciousness is easily covered by the brain, and even without the brain, you have an abundance of mental energy in your field to rely on.

If you are able to remain conscious while rotating the technique. Doesn't this mean that the average person is also creating a surplus of energy?

Yes! But, where do they store this energy?

This is stored in their 'soul'.

The 'soul' of a hidden existence is worthless as we don't really have one. Perhaps the body we control has one.

But you must never confuse the bodies you seize or possess as yourself.

They are just puppets.

Even your original body isn't 'you'. You have transcended such limits.

Think about the sun.

The earth gets energy from the sun.

But where does this energy go? If the energy wasn't released back into space. The earth would become quite hot and inhospitable.

This energy changes forms countless times. But this transformation isn't perfect. There is entropy in nature as well.

But the difference between you and nature is that you can control your entropy by managing your existences properly.

Just like how your energy field experiences decay. The 'souls' of mortals also experience decay.

The soul has many parts.

The mental energy of a mortal is transformed into:

Imagination

The stronger their imagination. The more mental energy they have. When they die, just like how you recycle your consciousness into mental energy to power your consciousness in a paradoxical nature. You can do the same with their souls...

Souls aren't infinite sources of energy.

Unless that mortal has an 'infinite' imagination.

Such souls are considered SS-Class.

If you manage to find one of such mortals and make a deal with them...

You have won the lottery!

But souls can be an infinite source of energy over time. Just like you are constantly building up mental energy. As long as the person is still in the physical world. Their soul entropy will remain low.

They will continue to build up mental energy through your true existence.

Hidden existences have global existences instead of souls.

This gives you more functions then what mortals have access to. You can already see this from all the abilities you have gotten as a hidden existence.

You do have an imagination. But it is merely simulation.

The trick behind this technique is storing energy in the energy field versus the soul.

In the early steps of the technique. When you were simply visualizing games. We were increasing your simulation limit.

This was transforming your Imagination.

Making your soul more powerful.

But you didn't remain a mortal, did you? You broke through the bottlenecks of this technique and became a hidden existence.

You may lack a soul to call your own.

But your future is limitless.
