It's not that he did not know any information regarding the source was important and not to be casually revealed or discussed but he was in the presence of the blood rule stream spirit, it did not have a human heart and he needed answers, so took the risk. The gamble paid off, the spirit's reaction to his narration alone told him many things. It was up to him to catch and interpret them. So he did. He recalled its words to him, 'Considering you were able to enter my domain, it is likely that you feel the source and can borrow the rule power from it but trying to enter it or explore its mysteries would be like inviting your demise.' From these words, it can be concurred that being able to sense the source and summon power from it wasn't too outlandish for the spirit. Considering the blood rule slave swarm he saw at the blood rule domain, Wyatt too felt the same way. As it meant there were just too many being that have not only been able to sense the source, borrow power from it, but enter it in hopes of exploring its mysteries. Beings with the ability to sense sources in the Card world might be new but in the entire Myriad realm, it wasn't.

However, this did dampen his enthusiasm about his passive skill 'One with the source.' Though it might not be a big deal for the celestial rule spirit it was for him. As he could confidentiality say he was the only card apprentice alive who could sense the source and summon its power. 'Mortal, you lack the power to attempt something like that. Even those that did have the power ultimately failed.' These words confused Wyatt. Because he believed having the passive skill 'One with the world' made up for the power that lacked to connect to the source. But the next set of the spirit's words made him wonder if he was wrong. 'So, I am warning you, even if you can, never try to peek and explore the mysteries of the source let alone try and enter it.' These words remind Wyatt of the swarm of blood rule slaves, though they were mindless slaves of blood rule source now once they were beings that were closest to the zenith. The power they held would garner them respect anywhere in the myriad realms yet they all succumbed to the mysteries of the blood rule source. Wyatt suddenly realized the celestial rule spirit never actually questioned his qualification to connect with the source; what she questioned was his power to do so. He felt that by power it had meant authority. 'Power is Authority.'

This opened a possibility, Wyatt never considered. Maybe having the qualification to connect with the source was not the same as having authority over the source. It clearly said, that even if Wyatt can he should not be peeking into the mysteries of the source as he did not have the power for it. She couldn't have been clearer that having access to the source did not mean the same as having authority over the source. This was when it hit Wyatt that just because he had the qualifications to access the source did not mean the same as having the authority i.e. power to explore the mysteries of the source. It was like the Janitor and the CEO having access to the MNC headquarters, however only one of them truly held any authority to make changes in the MNC headquarters. Wyatt was currently like the Janitor, he had access to the source but he had no authority over there because of his lack of power. Allowing the qualification to access the source he needed to have the power to have some authority over the source. Otherwise, blindly trying to explore the mysteries of the source would land in a similar fate as the source slaves who overestimated themselves in the source and lost to it. Wyatt now felt a sense of dread recalling his stupid actions to try and comprehend the mysteries of the source multiple times. However, he could not help but wonder why was he still able to maintain his sanity. Thinking of this Wyatt no longer found the blood rule stream spirit's reaction surprising anymore. Now that he knew that having the qualification to access a source was not the same as having authority over it, he found himself asking himself, 'Why was he fine after peeking at mysteries of the source multiple times?' He recalled having used his newly upgraded soul pupils, now known as primordial soul pupils, to peek at the mysteries of the source and explore it. This was when Wyatt realized that maybe the soul pupils that gave him access to secrets to everything might not have failed him when he used to peek at the mysteries of the source and explore it but ultimately failed to do so, he now believed that he being able to walk away from the source with his sanity intact was thanks to his soul pupils meaning it had done its job perfectly. Protecting his sanity from the profoundness of the source. No wonder he felt that the mysteries of the source were in his native language yet when it was time he could not recall how to read'em. This happened because it was his power that was lacking not the ability of the primordial soul pupils which like always tried to access the secrets of anything he saw with no cost.
