Volume 88 — Integrating Chaos
The Obsidian Root Palace blazed like a living galaxy, petals of the First Bloom spinning with unparalleled intensity. Lin Feng hovered at its center, every current—artifact, hidden force, entity guidance, primordial force, and the fourth secret—perfectly fused. Beyond the palace stretched the true infinite, now subtly harmonized, yet chaos still lingered, resisting alignment.
Caiyi's eyes widened. "Lin Feng… chaos… it's not just resisting… it's alive, reacting to every move, every adjustment you make!"
Lin Feng's gaze was calm, aura blazing. "Exactly. Absolute harmony is incomplete without integrating disorder. Chaos is not an enemy; it's a necessary balance. Peach Spirit… synchronize every thread, every pulse, every subtle flow. We must weave chaos into the infinite without destabilizing it."
Host, the Peach Spirit whispered, integration of chaos is unprecedented. Even the primordial force is challenged by its raw unpredictability. One misalignment could undo the palace, fracture the hidden force, or destabilize existence itself.
Chaos surged in waves, twisting space, warping time, and distorting life and death currents. Lin Feng extended his hands, petals spinning faster than ever. Streams of hidden force, artifact energy, palace currents, entity guidance, and primordial force converged. He subtly merged perception, influence, and control with the chaotic rhythms, allowing disorder to flow naturally while guiding it toward harmony.
Caiyi moved alongside him, perfectly synchronized. "It's… like you're not controlling chaos… you're teaching it to coexist with order. Every pulse, every ripple… the infinite listens!"
Lin Feng's eyes glimmered. He pushed the fourth secret to its ultimate limit, blending all forces into one transcendent resonance. Petals spun like a cosmic hurricane, energy radiating outward, stabilizing chaos while maintaining the balance of the infinite. Life, death, creation, destruction—all flowed together seamlessly.
"This… is the true pinnacle of the fourth secret," Lin Feng murmured. "Not just mastery, influence, or transcendence… but coexistence with the essential forces of existence, even chaos itself."
The palace pulsed with cosmic resonance. Caiyi whispered, awe-struck, "Lin Feng… you're beyond comprehension… even chaos obeys your understanding."
Lin Feng's gaze burned with resolve. "Then we move forward… for with chaos integrated, the infinite itself can now be shaped by knowledge, wisdom, and harmony."
