Kapitel 841: Clarifying things with Ziraili (2)

"What is lifeforce?" Jumping to a far harder question, Eldrian hoped he could finally get an answer to this question. And, for once, the one he was asking did not shy away. 

"Lifeforce is... It is hard to explain it since humans have yet to develop the vocabulary for its existence. You can consider it a substance that does not take up space and collects within those who have consciousness."

"We do not know why it gravitates to conciousness. Our leading theory is because of the observer effect. That for it to exist, it must be observed."

"It must experience life to have meaning, to become interactive. Without life, it is simply a motionless, powerless, massless, invisible, noninteractive. Thus, we dubbed it lifeforce. For only with life does it present its existence."

Scratching his head, Eldrian only got half of that. However, he knew he wouldn't understand the answers to all his questions. But he still wanted to hear them.
