With an explosion of energy, the River of Knowledge began to expand, and the Source of Knowledge began to evolve.
The River of Knowledge and the Source of Knowledge were distinct entities.
If the River of Knowledge represented the land, space, and surface where the "water" resided, then the Source of Knowledge was the source of endless "water" flowing forth to fill the land.
Merging the Ocean of Truth with the River of Knowledge was akin to carving out a vast trench beside the River of Knowledge.
By softening the stubborn rocks and soil around it, the bottleneck that hindered the River of Knowledge finally shattered.
As the land expanded to accommodate more "water," Maximus drew on endless strands of causality to fill the empty expanse and fuel the ongoing transformation.
Years, decades, and centuries passed, and the ever-expanding Ocean of Knowledge could no longer remain hidden.
