Volume 117 — Ancient Forces Awaken
The Obsidian Root Palace pulsed with infinite resonance, petals of the First Bloom spinning like strands of thought, paradox, and primordial energy. Lin Feng hovered at its center, fully harmonized with artifact, hidden force, entity guidance, primordial force, the fourth secret, integrated chaos, the conscious infinite, and the incomprehensible entities beyond paradox. Yet the traces of their origin hinted at forces older and greater than any he had ever known.
Caiyi's eyes widened. "Lin Feng… the source… it's not just ancient—it feels conscious! As if the foundation of the conscious infinite itself is awakening!"
Lin Feng's gaze sharpened, aura blazing. "Exactly. These ancient forces are the architects of paradox, existence, and evolution. Peach Spirit… synchronize every pulse, every current, every subtle thread. We must resonate with them, not resist. Only understanding their intent can ensure the infinite remains harmonized."
Host, the Peach Spirit whispered, these forces predate the conscious infinite. Their awakening could reshape layers of reality, create emergent paradoxes, or even challenge your integration with the infinite itself.
Energy ripples surged outward, folding space, time, and layered dimensions. 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 palace itself is alive with history! Every paradox, every emergent entity, every ancient force… they respond to your awareness!"
Lin Feng's eyes glimmered. He pushed the fourth secret beyond all previous limits, blending forces into unbounded resonance. Petals spun like a cosmic hurricane, energy radiating outward, harmonizing paradox-born threats, emergent entities, the conscious infinite, incomprehensible entities, and the awakening ancient forces.
"This… is communion at the highest level," Lin Feng murmured. "Not mastery, creation, chaos, integration, coexistence, transcendence, perception, or even evolution… but alignment with the architects of reality itself."
The palace pulsed with living resonance. Caiyi whispered, awe-struck, "Lin Feng… you're not just shaping reality… you're connecting with the origin of all existence."
Lin Feng's gaze burned with serene determination. "Then we move forward… for these ancient forces hold the next keys to ultimate evolution."
