Volume 90 — Testing Creation
The Obsidian Root Palace shone like a supernova, petals of the First Bloom spinning in a storm of cosmic energy. Lin Feng hovered at its center, fully harmonized with artifact, hidden force, entity guidance, primordial force, the fourth secret, and integrated chaos. The infinite itself flowed with his will, reshaped but still alive, responsive yet unpredictable.
Caiyi's eyes widened. "Lin Feng… the infinite… it's… reacting. But it's not just following you—it's testing you!"
Lin Feng's gaze was steady, aura blazing. "Exactly. Creation itself is not static. Even with absolute harmony, reshaped forces, and integrated chaos, the infinite tests the boundaries of understanding. Peach Spirit… every pulse, every current, every subtle thread of influence must be monitored. We cannot allow paradoxes to destabilize reality."
Host, the Peach Spirit whispered, testing creation is perilous. The infinite contains paradoxes, contradictions, and self-adjusting principles. One misstep could collapse reshaped realms or fracture existence itself.
Ripples surged across the palace as Lin Feng extended his hands. Petals spun faster than ever, streams of hidden force, artifact energy, palace currents, entity guidance, primordial force, and chaos converging into a singular, perfect stream. He subtly wove perception, influence, and control into the infinite, nudging its currents while observing the universe's responses.
Caiyi moved alongside him, perfectly synchronized. "It's… incredible. Every adjustment you make… the infinite adapts, tests itself, and responds to you. You're not controlling it—you're guiding it through its own logic!"
Lin Feng's eyes glimmered. He pushed the fourth secret to its ultimate limit, blending all forces into a transcendent resonance. Petals spun like a cosmic hurricane, energy radiating outward, stabilizing paradoxes, aligning creation and destruction, and ensuring the infinite's self-consistency.
"This… is the pinnacle of the fourth secret," Lin Feng murmured. "Not just mastery, influence, harmony, or creation… but the ability to test and refine existence itself, understanding its principles from within."
The palace pulsed with cosmic resonance. Caiyi whispered, awestruck, "Lin Feng… even the infinite's own contradictions bend to your understanding."
Lin Feng's gaze burned with determination. "Then we move forward… for there are still truths hidden within creation's tests, waiting to be uncovered."
