94: A celestial spirit descends to earth, its first cry echoes back to its origin.
The star source sea of consciousness had become a dead zone ravaged by energy storms!
The light of the will star cocoon was as intense as a stellar explosion. Majestic guardian nether-extinguishing starlight, like a bursting river of stars, poured out uncontrollably from within the cocoon, illuminating the entire star remains pedestal in a blinding purple-white! On the surface of the will star cocoon, those purple crystal threads condensed from pure guardian Law emitted teeth-aching cracking sounds under the pressure accumulating wildly inside, and fine cracks spread rapidly like spiderwebs!
[guardian will star core: Final stage of morphological transformation!]
[Status: will star cocoon (on the verge of shattering) | guardian Law sublimation: 99%! | Energy overload: Critical point!]
Inside the cocoon, the vague outline of the light embryo expanded and contracted violently with unprecedented amplitude! Each pulsation caused the entire star remains pedestal to resonate and tremble, and the cracks on the surface of the pedestal expanded accordingly! A power indescribable in its vastness, purity, and carrying the newborn will of creating the world was compressed to the extreme inside the embryo, as if it would tear through the will star cocoon and destroy everything in the next second!
The three Gravediggers, who had been heavily injured by the outburst of starlight, barely stabilized their figures in the distant star sea. Their filthy armor was scorched with large charred holes, and viscous dark gray energy constantly escaped from their wounds, their auras extremely withered. But those dark red eyes, after the initial terror, were ignited by the incredibly tempting, majestic energy about to erupt inside the will star cocoon, turning into even crazier greed!
“Transformation... final... moment... power... ownerless...”
“Interrupt... it... seize... that power... enough to... make up for... everything... even... surpass...”
“At all costs!!”
Hoarse and fanatical thoughts were exchanged among the Gravediggers! The leader of the Gravediggers suddenly plunged the crack-riddled bone staff in its hand into its own chest! The other two Gravediggers made the same crazy move simultaneously!
Chi—!!!
More viscous, foul-smelling dark gray filthy blood containing their life Origin gushed out like a fountain from the wounds in their chests, not scattering, but being crazily devoured by the dark red crystal at the tip of the bone staff! The crystal emitted a wail of impending shattering, but erupted with an unprecedented filthy evil light mixed with extreme pain and madness!
“Using... our... remnant bodies... sacrifice... guixu will... grant... destruction... power!!”
Accompanied by a tearing roar, the three bone staffs, along with the crystals at their tips and most of the Gravediggers' life Origin, boomed... and self-destructed!
Boom—!!!
A terrifying energy torrent, far darker, filthier, and carrying the destruction Law granted by the guixu will, like three giant hideous pythons composed of billions of resentful souls and filthy blood merging together, tore through the star sea, carrying the absolute malice of destroying all new life and burying all hope, and fiercely lunged toward the radiant, crumbling will star cocoon!
This strike gathered everything the three Gravediggers had left, and even invoked a trace of blessing from the guixu will in the underworld! Its power far exceeded the previous one!
Attacked from both inside and outside! Inside, the will star cocoon's uncontrollable energy was about to explode in a self-destructive manner, and outside, the Gravediggers were launching a destructive impact by sacrificing everything!
The star remains pedestal emitted a desperate wail, and Chen Feng's will imprint flickered crazily, but it was powerless to turn the tide!
Just as the filthy, destructive giant python was about to swallow and annihilate the will star cocoon along with the pedestal—
At this one in ten-billionth of a second that decided life and death—
Deep inside the pedestal, that wisp of gray Qi, thinner than a hair, which had drilled out from the gap in the end crystallization Seal, like a venomous snake with life, finally... silently... touched the tiniest crack that had just split open on the surface of the will star cocoon!
There was no earth-shattering movement.
That wisp of gray Qi, carrying a coldness and greed that transcended the extreme, like the finest virus, instantly drilled into the interior of the will star cocoon—that liquid Star Vortex space where energy was boiling and on the verge of explosion!
Its goal was not to destroy, nor to devour that vast newborn energy, but... to point directly at the very center of the Star Vortex, at that—light embryo—which was pulsating violently and gestating Su Wanzhao's final transformed form!
“Hum...”
It was like the first faint sound at the birth of the Universe.
The moment the gray Qi touched the embryo, the majestic newborn energy, which was crazily accumulating and about to erupt, was injected with some kind of... eerie “order”? Or perhaps, some higher-level “end” catalyst?
It was not suppression, but... guidance! Forced guidance!
The out-of-control, destructive expansion and contraction of the light embryo suddenly... stagnated for an instant!
Immediately after, all the boiling energy, all the shining starlight runes, all the flowing liquid Star Vortex, and even Su Wanzhao's newborn consciousness that had transformed to the extreme... were forcibly constrained, compressed, and collapsed crazily toward that single point at the core of the embryo by an irresistible, cold, end-of-all-things power!
Like the reverse process of the Universe from inflation to a singularity!
The light of the entire will star cocoon suddenly retracted! From a blinding purple-white, it instantly turned into a deep, restrained... dark purple that seemed capable of swallowing all light!
The cracks spreading on the surface of the will star cocoon, under this extreme retraction, not only did not shatter, but were forcibly healed and reinforced by an invisible force! Only the color was no longer pure star purple, but carried a hint of... cold gray.
[Warning: Unknown end Law intervention! The transformation process of the will star cocoon has been forcibly interfered with! Energy flow direction changed! Morphological stability?!]
[guardian will star core: Sublimation complete (100%) | Form: ??? (Unknown mutation) | Status: Stable (Abnormal)]
The transformation... was complete?
In a way no one had expected!
The three filthy, destructive giant python torrents launched by the Gravediggers sacrificing themselves had only just arrived!
However, what they faced was no longer an energy-uncontrolled will star cocoon on the verge of self-destruction, but a... completely stabilized, brand-new will star cocoon radiating deep dark purple light with a hint of cold gray flowing on its surface!
The giant python torrents slammed fiercely into the will star cocoon!
The energy annihilation explosion that had been anticipated did not occur.
The deep dark purple will star cocoon, like the deepest black hole, with subtle ripples on its surface, actually swallowed that filthy destruction energy capable of destroying stars... silently!
It was not resistance, not purification, but... devouring!
Like a stone sinking into the sea, it didn't even stir up a ripple!
“Im... pos... sible!!!” The remaining consciousness of the three Gravediggers, whose vitality was almost burned out, emitted an unbelievable, desperate howl! Their all-out attack had been... easily neutralized in such an eerie way?!
However, something even more terrifying happened to them.
The dark purple will star cocoon that had swallowed the filthy destruction energy fluctuated... gently.
As if... it had burped?
Immediately after—
Crack!
A crisp, light sound like jade shattering was particularly piercing in the silent star sea.
At the top of the will star cocoon, a crack quietly opened.
There was no energy leakage, only a strand of... dark purple light, pure to the extreme yet carrying a hint of cold detachment, shone out from the crack.
Following that was the second crack, the third...
The cracks, like blooming violets, instantly covered the entire will star cocoon!
Then, the will star cocoon... silently... shattered.
It turned into countless light fragments glittering with dark purple starlight and a hint of gray on the edges, slowly drifting away.
In the center of the light fragments, a figure slowly emerged.
She was curled up, like a newborn baby. Her whole body seemed to be carved from the finest dark purple star marrow jade, her skin flowing with warm and restrained starlight. She was naked, yet carried an aura interwoven with holiness and mystery. Her features faintly held the shadow of Su Wanzhao, but were more perfect, more inhuman, and her brows were shrouded in a faint, chilling coldness and detachment.
Her eyes were tightly closed, her long eyelashes like butterfly wings casting faint shadows under her eyelids.
Most striking was the position of her heart. There, instead of a heartbeat, a slowly rotating, deep dark purple Star Vortex was suspended. At the core of the Star Vortex, a tiny gray light, almost invisible, lay dormant like a sleeping eye.
And in the center of her forehead, a complex imprint, strangely interwoven with star trajectories and end runes, emitting a faint gray-purple light, slowly emerged and then slowly faded.
[star vault Guardian · Su Wanzhao (End Star Spirit Form)]
[Status: Newborn Body | guardian Origin (Pure) | End Affinity (Unknown) | Energy Rank: ???]
She... woke up.
Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and then, she slowly opened them.
What kind of eyes were those?
In the depths of her eyes was a vast, rotating Star Vortex Universe, brilliant and pure, reflecting the birth and death of ancient stars. However, in the deepest part of that Star Vortex, there settled a trace of... cold, gray indifference that seemed to have seen through the ultimate destination of the Universe.
Her gaze swept blankly over the shattered and drifting light fragments, swept over the roaring, trembling, crack-riddled star remains pedestal below, and finally... landed on the three Gravediggers in the distance of the star sea, who were completely stiff like three ugly, gray, decadent statues due to the exhaustion of their life Origin and energy backlash.
Her eyes had no emotional fluctuations, no hatred, no anger, not even curiosity.
There was only a kind of... pure... indifference, as if observing dust.
She slowly, somewhat awkwardly, raised that right hand carved from star marrow jade.
At her fingertips, a point of dark purple starlight lit up.
No incantations, no movements.
The three stiff Gravedigger statues, along with the space around them, were silently... turned into the most primitive particle flow and dissipated in the star sea, like a pencil drawing erased by an eraser.
Not even a speck of dust was left behind.
After doing all this, she lowered her hand, and her gaze fell back onto the star remains pedestal below.
When she saw that deeply branded will imprint belonging to Chen Feng on the core hub of the pedestal.
The Star Vortex rotating in her eyes... stagnated for an instant.
That trace of deep gray indifference seemed... to fluctuate.
A trace of extremely subtle confusion and bewilderment, like a pebble thrown into an ancient well, flashed across her perfect, inhuman face.
She descended slowly, her bare feet stepping gently on the cold, crack-riddled surface of the pedestal.
She squatted down, stretched out her slender fingers, and seemed to want to touch that imprint.
Her fingertips stopped an inch away from the imprint.
She tilted her head, looking at the imprint, motionless for a long time.
Like a lost child, examining a familiar yet strange old object.
The star sea was silent, with only the unbearable groans of the pedestal echoing softly.
The newborn Star Spirit, the Incarnation of protection, was tainted with the gray of the end.
The shattered pedestal, the sacrificed will, can they awaken the deeply hidden familiarity?
The prelude to returning to the Origin seems to have just played its first note.
And deep in the distant Space-Time Graveyard, those eyes watching coldly seemed to have narrowed slightly due to this unexpected variable.
