Chapter 1080 - 489: What Are You?

Chapter 489 - What are you, truly?

Under the guidance of the Fire embodiment, the Other Shore Cosmos also began to establish its own "Gui Xu" cycle. Stars and civilizations reaching the end of their life were no longer fading chaotically; instead, led by the Fire, they transformed into the purest Energy, returning to the Chaos Origin of the Other Shore Cosmos, providing nourishment for the birth of new stars and civilizations.

This is a grand and orderly cycle, a cosmic dance beyond the understanding of living beings. The Other Shore Cosmos, illuminated by the Fire, stepped into unprecedented prosperity and harmony.

Meanwhile, the Fire embodiment, in this long-standing confrontation and transformation, became stronger and more perfect. Her understanding of "Eternity" reached a new height. She could sense that those ancient beings in the Sea of Realms were observing her more frequently and with more complexity.

The Chaos Devourer, the one who once battled the Master of Nothingness, also felt the power of the Fire embodiment at this moment. Its vast will wavered for the first time. It had believed that only "devouring" and "Nirvana" were the eternal truths in the Sea of Realms, but the "transformation" and "rebirth" demonstrated by the Fire embodiment overturned its perception.

"Eternal Fire... what are you, truly?" The will of the Chaos Devourer echoed in the depths of the Sea of Realms, carrying a trace of confusion, a hint of caution, and an indescribable... dread.

The Fire embodiment did not respond. She knew that the true dialogue was not through words, but through the collision of the Dao.

She gradually transformed the Despair tides of the Other Shore Cosmos into the nourishment for the Fire’s long river. This process not only saved the Other Shore Cosmos but also made the Fire’s river more vast and profound.

In the depths of the Fire’s long river, she sensed the call from the main body. It was not a crisis but the "Seed of Eternity" from the main body transmitting information to her. She knew the main body was perceiving the mysteries of the Sea of Realms through her, and was preparing for a grander plan for the future.

"Sea of Realms... boundless..." The Fire embodiment whispered in her consciousness. She could feel that beyond the Other Shore Cosmos, there were countless cosmic bubbles, some coming into being and passing away, some struggling, some calling out.

Her mission was far from ending.

When the Despair tides of the Other Shore Cosmos were completely transformed, and the cosmos regained vitality, establishing a perfected "Eternal" cycle, the Fire embodiment once again set her sights on the depths of the Sea of Realms.

She was no longer just the Guardian of the Other Shore Cosmos; she had become a brilliant Fire in the Sea of Realms, a guiding light.

She could feel that in a corner of the Sea of Realms, another cosmic bubble was sending out a faint call. That call was filled with Despair and unwillingness, yet there was also a trace of longing for "Eternity."

The Fire embodiment did not hesitate; she transformed into a stream of gold and black light, once again diving into the depths of the Sea of Realms.

Her figure, like the universe’s oath, resonated through the endless nothingness, heralding a new epoch, an era of eternal Fire about to descend upon the Sea of Realms.

And she, in the capacity of the Master of the Eternal Flame, would continue to guard this vast Sea of Realms, protecting every weak but resilient life force, until true Eternity arrives.

Her figure had already become a part of the Sea of Realms, omnipresent yet elusive. But the Fire’s light always pointed the way, illuminating the path ahead.

In the depths of the Sea of Realms, those Cosmos eroded by Chaos began to show faint signs of life. The withered Cosmos started to shine anew; suppressed Laws started to re-gather.

All returned to rebirth under the eternal light of the Fire.

It was not a recovery achieved in one stroke, but like the ancient tree revealing new buds after a long slumber, slow yet resolute. Those Cosmos once completely obliterated by Chaos now, under the Fire’s pulse, vaguely began to form the embryo of a new Cosmos, a miracle born of the intertwining of Fire and Chaos, hope nurtured in the void. The originally twisted and broken space, under the caress of the Fire, slowly unfurled like a restored ancient scroll, regaining its original order and harmony. The branches of time that were severed began to reunite, bringing back the fragmented epochs, allowing the thread of history to continue.

The Fire embodiment, or rather, now fused with some of the Law of the Sea of Realms as the "Master of the Eternal Flame," could clearly perceive every subtle change in every cosmic bubble within the Sea of Realms. Her consciousness, like invisible ripples, traversed every dimension of the Sea of Realms, touching the soul’s depths of every living being. She could feel those fragmentary souls of the cosmos, who had struggled in Despair for eons, making weak yet grateful sounds under the nourishment of the Fire. They were not entirely resurrected, but integrated into the Fire’s long river in a new and transcendent way, becoming part of the eternal cycle.

Those once enslaved by the Chaos Devourer or eroded by its Power felt unprecedented relief at this moment. The Chaos Marks within them dissolved under the Fire’s Purification, like snow melting away, transforming into the purest cosmic Energy, nourishing themselves. Some aberrant Cosmos twisted by the Power of Chaos shed their deformity and madness, restored to their primordial clarity under this power’s baptism, and even gained new strength in the metamorphosis, becoming Guardians of the Fire’s long river.
