Volume 109 — Emergent Entities
The Obsidian Root Palace quivered with living energy, petals of the First Bloom spinning in dizzying, ever-shifting patterns. Lin Feng hovered at its center, fully harmonized with artifact, hidden force, entity guidance, primordial force, the fourth secret, integrated chaos, and the conscious, evolving infinite. Yet from the infinite's emergent evolution, entirely new entities began to manifest—creatures and forces that defied all known law.
Caiyi's eyes widened in alarm. "Lin Feng… look! These… entities… they aren't like the Guardians or anything we've encountered! They're… concepts made manifest… and they're growing in power!"
Lin Feng's gaze was sharp, aura blazing. "Exactly. Emergent entities arise from the infinite's self-directed evolution. They are unpredictable, yet they are not enemies unless provoked. Peach Spirit… synchronize every pulse, every current, every subtle thread. We must perceive, not attack. Every entity is a reflection of the infinite's adaptive will."
Host, the Peach Spirit whispered, emergent entities are unprecedented. They may embody paradoxes, alternate laws, or raw existence itself. Misjudgment could fracture local space, destabilize paradoxes, or even create cascading anomalies across infinity.
Ripples surged outward, folding and stretching space, time, and dimensional currents. Lin Feng extended his hands, petals spinning faster than ever. Streams of hidden force, artifact energy, palace currents, entity guidance, primordial force, chaos, and conscious resonance converged into a singular, adaptive flow.
Caiyi moved alongside him, perfectly synchronized. "It's… like the infinite is experimenting with forms of existence itself! Every entity, every paradox… it responds to your understanding and guidance!"
Lin Feng's eyes glimmered. He pushed the fourth secret to unprecedented limits, blending forces into unbounded resonance. Petals spun like a cosmic hurricane, energy radiating outward, stabilizing paradoxes, Guardians, and emergent entities while allowing them to integrate naturally into the evolving infinite.
"This… is the next stage of transcendence," Lin Feng murmured. "Not mastery, creation, chaos, paradox, or integration… but coexisting with entities born from infinity's own evolution."
The palace pulsed with living resonance. Caiyi whispered, awe-struck, "Lin Feng… the infinite isn't just alive… it's creating life, principles, and consciousness on its own."
Lin Feng's gaze burned with serene determination. "Then we move forward… for these emergent entities are keys to understanding the ultimate evolution of existence itself."
