Volume 99 — Restructuring the Infinite
The Obsidian Root Palace radiated like a supernova, petals of the First Bloom spinning in a vortex 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 Guardians of the Beyond had revealed their origins—they were not enemies, but the infinite's self-correcting mechanisms. Now, Lin Feng faced the ultimate challenge: using this knowledge to restructure deeper layers of existence itself.
Caiyi's eyes widened. "Lin Feng… now that you understand them… you can actually… reshape the infinite's foundations?"
Lin Feng's gaze was steady, aura blazing. "Exactly. Harmony, chaos, paradox… even the Guardians' principles are tools. Peach Spirit… synchronize every pulse, every current, every subtle thread. We must restructure the infinite from within, maintaining balance while integrating new layers of order and adaptability."
Host, the Peach Spirit whispered, reshaping the infinite's core structures is unprecedented. One misalignment could fracture reality, destabilize paradoxes, or even unravel the palace itself.
Energy ripples surged as Lin Feng extended his hands, petals spinning faster than ever. Streams of hidden force, artifact energy, palace currents, entity guidance, primordial force, and chaos converged into a unified flow. He subtly wove perception, influence, and control into the infinite's core, aligning paradoxes, stabilizing Guardians, and integrating new patterns of harmony without suppressing contradictions.
Caiyi moved alongside him, perfectly synchronized. "It's… like you're rewriting existence itself! Every pulse, every ripple… the infinite responds to your understanding!"
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 and Guardians while creating new layers of order, adaptability, and potential.
"This… is the pinnacle of the fourth secret," Lin Feng murmured. "Not just mastery, influence, harmony, creation, chaos, paradox, or understanding… but actively restructuring the infinite itself while preserving its essence."
The palace pulsed with cosmic resonance. Caiyi whispered, awe-struck, "Lin Feng… you're shaping existence on a level no one could imagine."
Lin Feng's gaze burned with determination. "Then we move forward… for even the infinite has layers yet to be revealed, and I will uncover them all."
