Igor's ability to exist in a vacant state within the Inner World Spell was an absurd event that constituted another new discovery.

This completely exceeded Kuren's understanding, as Igor had now entirely emptied his state. Within this Inner World, he held no control; he lacked even a shred of controlling ability.

This meant that Igor couldn't create any illusions within this Inner World. He could only be at the mercy of others; even his thoughts were transparent for all to see.

Naturally, Kuren was scrutinizing Igor's thoughts at this moment. The result was intriguing, as Igor's mind was a blank slate, containing nothing apart from some trivial matters.

This strange phenomenon, in fact, confirmed Igor's innocent nature. Of course, this was according to Kuren's understanding. If the blankness within Igor's mind were a disguise, then Igor truly would be the terrifying monster they feared. As such, Kuren had completely ruled out the possibility that Igor was a wicked individual.

These three new discoveries resolved the doubts Kuren and Igor had previously held.

They no longer had to puzzle over the strange dilemma of why, within the same Inner World, Igor could understand Kuren's thoughts while Kuren was unable to comprehend Igor's. This issue no longer troubled them.

With that issue resolved, they now had renewed energy to consider these other new discoveries.

Of course, it was Kuren who had been contemplating all along. Igor was included in this because all these new discoveries were related to him.

It would have been impossible for Kuren alone to unravel the World Setting Technique to such an extent. Now, it was no longer solely about the World Setting Technique. Instead, the entire world's magical arts were about to undergo a radical change thanks to it.

Igor's free-spirited style within the Inner World of the World Setting Technique brought not chaos, but surprisingly, ordered jumps. These jumps had rhythm and rules, seeming entirely controllable. This inevitably led to the thought: could magical arts advance too?

If that were indeed the case, the entire professional world would undoubtedly undergo a seismic change.

During this process, the pure and simple Igor played the role of a catalyst, while Kuren was merely a witness.

The fourth new discovery was indeed this intriguing question: could magic techniques be extended? It was both a question and a discovery.

Moreover, it was an explosive discovery.

Kuren naturally understood that if this viewpoint were made public at this point, it could potentially stir up a huge uproar in the already unstable professional world.

At such a time, whether this new discovery would cause a seismic shift or merely make waves would depend entirely on their understanding of it.

In conclusion, it all boiled down to understanding once again. Earlier, guiding Igor to understand magic was what led to so many new discoveries. Evidently, understanding is the source from which all laws of nature emerge...

Seeing Kuren remain silent for a long time, Igor assumed Kuren was still dwelling on their previous misunderstanding. But since he didn't need to say anything, as Kuren could see exactly what he was thinking, the situation felt rather awkward.

Furthermore, Igor felt that the more he tried to explain this awkward situation, the more complicated it would get. It might be better to just think about nothing and leave his mind a blank slate.

Igor put himself in Kuren's shoes: if he were Kuren at this moment, he would feel so embarrassed that he'd want to find a hole to hide in. If anyone were to bring up the matter then, even with good intentions, it would not produce the desired effect. Instead, Kuren would feel that Igor was deliberately mentioning it to shame him, to make him lose face, to make things awkward. Therefore, Igor chose not to; he emptied his mind.

Igor had no idea that Kuren's entire focus was on the new discoveries about the World Setting Technique. Seeing Kuren's distressed look, he was perplexed. What on earth could have induced such guilt?

This idea could only flash across Igor's mind briefly; he couldn't afford to dwell on it. Because Senior Kuren could fully perceive his thoughts, and if Kuren glimpsed his thoughts at this moment and discerned that he was mulling over why Kuren should feel guilty, wouldn't that be unmasked mockery? More than just mockery, it would almost be provocation.

Igor did not want to be such a provocative person, so he suppressed his inappropriate thoughts.

However, Kuren did not pry into Igor's inner world. His Spirit Power was entirely focused on those four new discoveries, particularly the fourth. Despite deep contemplation, he could not fathom the underlying reason. These new discoveries were assaulting him. His previous experiences and accumulated knowledge were undergoing an unprecedented challenge. Given the intensity of this assault, he felt that it wouldn't be long before his understanding became shattered.

At this moment, a new thought suddenly flashed across Kuren's mind. This thought was not without basis; it had been lingering in Kuren's mind for a long time. Now, it was brought to the forefront. It seemed Kuren felt he needed to use unconventional means to pry open these new discoveries.

"Igor." Kuren looked at Igor, who sat opposite him. This thought of his was related to Igor.

He felt that these new discoveries were entirely due to Igor. Igor's uniqueness made the entire matter increasingly incredible, yet intriguing. It was Igor's unpredictability that transformed the scenario entirely.

The guidance in the Inner World turned into confrontational exchanges, and now to exploratory discoveries. How could any of these events be unrelated to Igor's indeterminate nature? It was this factor that led Kuren to decide to take another gamble.

And his bet was still on Igor.

Igor responded with a puzzled "Hmm." He had no clue what the downcast Kuren intended to do. Yet, he knew he shouldn't make wild guesses, especially not by assuming Kuren felt guilty or remorseful. Neither mockery nor provocation was acceptable. After all, Kuren was his senior.

Therefore, Igor's "Hmm" contained a multitude of emotions.

"You said the original intention of magic is to share, but the World Setting Technique also has hidden aspects. Doesn't this contradict the original purpose of magic?"

Igor understood what Kuren meant by the hidden aspects of the World Setting Technique; it was referring to Ghost Wind Valley. The World Setting Technique in Ghost Wind Valley, with all of its lifelike images, had troubled both him and Kadi for a long time. They had wandered in circles there until the World Setting Technique was finally deciphered. The World Setting Technique there indeed hid the correct path and confused others' senses; it had absolutely no connection with sharing.

Kuren asked this question only to challenge the matter through Igor's unpredictable nature; he held no expectations for a complete answer from Igor. He just felt that involving Igor in the thinking process would provide him with a new approach.

This new approach could absolutely help him fully understand the new discoveries within this magical art.

As long as Igor continued his wild and unpredictable style, Kuren would have absolute confidence in his gamble.
