Assumptions

"Urrgh," Groaning awake, Lu Yao started stretching her body. Looking around her, Lu Yao noticed that she was in Xue Mo's lap; instead of getting flustered and embarrassed like other girls, Lu Yao calmly got up and gently leaped up, landing on the ground.

Lu Yao checked the small empty cave they were in, and noticing that Xue Mo was tired, she immediately deduced what happened. 'Damn, I was too eager; now Mo'er is in this exhausted state because of me,' Lu Yao figured out everything from one look around her.

She knew that after she finished supplying energy to the magma Beast remains in the vial, that she collapsed on the ground. Xue Mo must have even though he was tired, Xue Mo must have walked until he arrived at this cave.

Noticing that although Xue Mo was awake, he was asleep. This state he was in, wasn't unfamiliar to Lu Yao as it is a state she has been to countless times in the past. The condition where you are asleep but your senses are awake, which even though your physical body is recovering through sleep, your mental energy will still be depleted.

'Mo'er must have been worried that we would be attacked, so despite his tired situation, he persisted and continued protecting us.' Lu Yao concluded after taking in everything around them and calculating what might have happened; she came up with this possibility.

Someone with Xue Mo's age should have a high mental fortitude and have honed his mind to any situation, but Xue Mo's situation is different. The Shadow soul Pressure is an energy that started relying on both the physical and the mental powers of Xue Mo. Ever since, Xue Mo created his new physical body, the Shadow Light Parasite's first body. The Shadow Soul Pressure was a manifestation of his Soul, but when the body came to be, it merged with his physical body creating new energy, being the Shadow Soul Pressure.

That is the reason someone with Xue Mo's qualities, age, and wisdom started losing his consciousness or gets exhausted when he uses it, or when Infinite Darkness uses it as SSP points.

Lu Yao had been thinking about this problem for some time now. One question kept recurring to her, 'Why does SSP energy grow when it's used and increases Xue Mo's points but not mine?' after pondering over this for more than a year. After countless experiments, the answer Lu Yao concluded was 'because it's not mine!' Shadow Soul Pressure is an energy unique to Xue and Xue Mo only. It was never meant to be shared by two individuals; the only reason Lu Yao could use it in the form of SSP energy points was that the wish allowed it.

But even with the wish allowing it, there is a limit to using borrowed power and a price; Although it says that Lu Yao uses 1000 SSP points when she derives and upgrades stuff using Infinite Darkness, this is, in fact incorrect.

After experimenting many times, Lu Yao and Xue Mo noticed that he loses more SSP energy every time Lu Yao derives or upgrades something. Over time, Xue Mo and Lu Yao arrived at an inference that they have always known but ignored, even someone with Xue Mo's age and wisdom ignored it; and There is no such thing as perfect.

When Xue Mo had created his Shadow Light Parasite Race, he thought he created the ultimate Race, but then his Soul sealed this Race's bloodline abilities and only left him with the minimum. Under the guise that Heaven and Earth might discover his peculiar existence and his connection to Primordial Origin, his Soul has Sealed itself with 13 seals.

The seals being created as a self-protecting mechanism might be the genuine reason. Still, Xue Mo had a hypothesis he started theorizing after Infinite Darkness came to be this assumption of his started solidifying more and more. The real instigator of the Seals being created wasn't his Soul trying to protect itself, but the natural laws of existence itself were trying to suppress him.

Something that can forever grow stronger through the bloodlines and the potential Xue Mo put into it goes against these laws. Deciding to stop him from rising the natural laws created by the Seals on his Soul to stop him, but never did the laws think that Xue Mo would land on a moon so he can try out his new body.

Meeting Lu Yao was a coincidence. The natural laws suppressed Xue Mo's body and soul, so he would slowly die thinking there is life in the Chaosverse or a breathable place. Finding Lu Yao and leaving with her was against the wishes of the natural laws.

Infinite Darkness's creation was even more absurd, as it is already defying the natural laws by cultivating, but for it to also turn anything cultivable is just challenging the natural laws. However, even with all its power, Infinite Darkness still has flaws, some of them can be fixed with time as it is learning just like how Xue Mo and Lu Yao programmed to, but some of them can't like the fact that when Lu Yao uses SSP energy points, it takes more out of Xue Mo than usual.

When Lu Yao was experimenting through Infinite Darkness, she noticed that flaw it drains from Xue Mo too much and has been working on ways to fix it or avoid it.

One of the ways Lu Yao has been working on is trying to learn all she can and improve her theoretical level. So that when Lu Yao wants to make a new technique, Lu Yao will either let Xue Mo derive it through what knowledge he already took from her, or try to find a way that she can use to create techniques.

These two ways are obsolete and will hit a dead end. Since method one will require Lu Yao to cramp knowledge into her brain, this information might not be as accurate as what Infinite Darkness can use, derive, and upgrade from. And what this data she tries to give Xue Mo might make other techniques than what she intended to create. While the second method is even worse since Lu Yao will make the techniques herself, the quality and the end-result might do more harm than good. For no matter how smart and ingenious Lu Yao is, she cannot fit knowledge and understanding that Xue Mo has spent thousands and millions of years on.

The same thing could also be said for Xue Mo, for no matter his Race's unique aspects, his vast information, and his broad-mindedness. Xue Mo cannot replicate and hope to understand all the knowledge that Lu Yao had theorized and the insight Lu Yao had accumulated all her life in a few years. Maybe if he had his previous cultivation realm, he could have, but for now, he can't. However, one thing is for sure, and that is, both Xue Mo and Lu Yao are on the correct path of fusing Magic into cultivation.

Though both of them are still new to the other's path, they are steadily progressing, and will soon improve beyond compare. All they need is time.

'Maybe I can use this….. No, I shouldn't hesitate. For Mo'er, it's worth a try even if I failed. Only disappointment will come. Let's see if it works….' Lu Yao has been pondering for a long time before her mind settled on an idea she has been thinking about for some time now. Lu Yao softly called "Infinite Darkness."
