Chapter 486 You... you actually did it

However, not all beings corrupted by void can be easily transformed. In some remote corners of the cosmos, some, completely assimilated by the power of void, have even developed self-awareness as ”void aberrations.” Once the vanguard under the Master of Nothingness, they now find themselves in unprecedented chaos and pain under the light of the fire. Their essence is ”nothing,” yet the law of ”being” has been forcibly injected into them by the fire, causing their bodies to continually disintegrate and reassemble, emitting silent wails.

Xu Qinghan’s consciousness swept over these aberrations without pity or disgust, only a transcendent calm. She knew this was the inevitable price of cosmic transformation. Her fire was not an indiscriminate redemption but followed the law of the cosmic cycle. Those that cannot endure the transformation will ultimately return to ”nothing,” becoming part of the chaos origin, awaiting the next budding of ”being.”

”Fire is eternal, and it also has its sequence.” Her will echoed in the void, each word containing the supreme truth of the cosmos.

Deep within the chaos origin, the ”extreme nothingness,” which once bore the will of the void origin, was now completely enveloped by the seed of eternity. Nourished by the fire, the seed of eternity was no longer the initial vague rune; it was like a dazzling star, containing a miniature cosmos within. Gold and black intertwined, the cycle of life and death turned; nirvana and vitality no longer opposed but nurtured and achieved each other.

Xu Qinghan could feel that the ”My Lord,” who once asserted grand will, although its origin consciousness had dissipated, its ultimate interpretation of ”nothingness” and deep understanding of ”entropy” were perfectly absorbed and transformed by the seed of eternity. It was no longer the ender of the cosmos but was now the perfect executor of the ”Gui Xu” phase within the cosmic cycle. It ensured the end of ”being” was not complete annihilation but provided the purest nutrients and space for the next birth of ”being.”

And as for the former ”Master of Nothingness,” that being once hailed as a servant by ”My Lord,” where was it now?

Xu Qinghan’s consciousness pierced through layers of void, ultimately discovering its trace at the edge of the cosmos, in a spot of deathly silence barely touched by the river of fire.

It was no longer the vague form shrouded in nothingness but had transformed into a stone statue seated in the void. Around the statue, countless fine void chains wound, each chain connected to a remnant of civilization completely obliterated by void. Its breath was faint, as if about to dissipate with the wind, but deep within those tightly closed eyes, a hint of reluctance and confusion lingered.

In the moment ”My Lord” was transformed by the fire and merged into the chaos origin, the Master of Nothingness suffered unimaginable backlash. Its link with ”My Lord” was forcibly severed, and the void law it depended on was reversed by the fire, causing it to fall into unprecedented weakness and confusion. It had tried to resist, to regather void power, but the ”eternity” aura emanating from the chaos origin was like an invisible heaven and earth net, thoroughly imprisoning it.

Xu Qinghan’s will descended, forming a stream of gold and black light, hovering in front of the statue.

”Master of Nothingness.” Her voice carried an inexplicable majesty, yet also a hint of transcendent calm.

The statue trembled violently, and its tightly closed eyes slowly opened. No longer were they filled with the former indifference and coldness, but with confusion and struggle. It saw Xu Qinghan, saw the chaos light circulating around her, and felt that ”eternity” aura that instinctually made it tremble, yet was irresistible.

”You... you actually did it...” The Master of Nothingness’s voice was hoarse and weak, as if eons of time weighed upon it. It once believed only ”My Lord” could truly master ”nothingness,” and ”being” would ultimately lead to nirvana. But this creature before it, this ”Fire Ignition,” had overturned all its understanding.

”My Lord was not obliterated but transformed, merged into the cosmic cycle.” Xu Qinghan said calmly, ”What you cling to as ’nothingness’ is not the end, but another face of ’being.’ Life and death, being and nothingness, are all part of eternity.”

The Master of Nothingness fell silent, its deep eyes reflected the phantom of a gold and black Tai Chi vortex. It once was the spokesperson for ”nothing,” the executor of cosmic entropy increase, but at this moment, it felt that the ”Dao” it adhered to had been completely overturned.

”I... I have no support left...” it murmured, its voice full of despair. Its power was fading, its existence being redefined.

”You were once the executor of ’nothingness,’ now you can also become the Guardian of ’Gui Xu.’” Xu Qinghan’s voice, like morning bells and evening drums, resonated within its divine soul, ”The universe needs the vitality of ’being,’ and also needs the ’Gui Xu’ of ’nothingness.’ Only balance can be eternal.”

She extended her hand, and the gold and black fire of chaos in her palm flickered. From within the flame stretched out a faint yet incredibly tenacious chain of law, touching the statue of the Master of Nothingness.

”Are you willing, with your existence, to guard the ’Gui Xu’ path of the cosmos? To ensure that all things, at the time of their end, can return to the chaos origin in the purest form, awaiting the next cycle of reincarnation?”

The statue of the Master of Nothingness trembled violently. It could feel that the chain of law was not a shackle but a new ”definition,” one that freed it from the obsession with ”destruction” to a ”new life.” Once the ender of the cosmos, now it had the chance to become the ”Gatekeeper” of the cosmic cycle.
