I don’t know how long I have been sinking.

A faint "light" with a strange temperature suddenly pierced the absolute darkness.

Not visual light.

It’s a kind of…perceptual “resonance”.

A... call for order from the same source.

She "heard" it.

No, I "felt" it.

That call... so faint, so distant, as if coming from the very edge of the universe. It carried an indescribable... sense of familiarity? No, not familiarity, but a common origin! It was the fluctuations of the stellar order that shared the same origin as her dormant "Mark of Frost"! Within these fluctuations, there was a lingering sense of sorrow and resolute will that made her very soul tremble... Pei Du?!

This name that had long been frozen, like an ice cube thrown into boiling oil, suddenly exploded in the eternally silent ice sea of ​​her consciousness!

"Pei...Du...?" A silent, violently trembling thought spread extremely faintly in the dark void.

No response.

Only the faint, homogeneous order fluctuations, like a candle in the wind, continue to transmit.

Not Pei Du.

Was it... something that carried his will? Or was it... the spark that Pei Du ignited and protected with his final moments?

For the first time, her icy core of consciousness... experienced a violent fluctuation! Like the surging undercurrent at the bottom of a thousand-year-old glacier! She tried hard to "get closer" to the faint fluctuation, to sense more... but her consciousness was like a frozen bird, heavy and numb.

Just then—

Buzz!

A powerful, pure, gentle energy imbued with absolute order, like a warm ocean current, suddenly poured into her icy sea of ​​consciousness! This energy didn't come from the outside world, but rather, through the tubes connected to her body, originating from... the roots of the World Tree wrapped around the life support pod? No! It was the World Tree roots that were channeling and amplifying... the same wave of order emanating from the faint spark in the nearby life support pod!

This energy flow, like the nectar of life, instantly permeated her dormant consciousness! The frozen core of the "Mark of Frost," like an ice crystal dropped into warm water, for the first time... ever so slightly... awakened to a trace of activity! Although still icy cold, it was no longer dead!

"Well…"

An extremely slight groan, like the breaking of ice crystals, sounded in the absolute silence.

Inside the life support cabin.

Xu Shuangyao was suspended in the nutrient solution. On her perfect face, like an ice elf, her two long eyebrows, which seemed to be frozen with frost for ten thousand years, were very clearly and obviously... frowned.

Then, those eyes that had been closed for who knows how many years, like deep pools covered with ice and snow...under the eyelids, the eyeballs rolled with great difficulty...

The highly sensitive nerve sensor connected to her forehead instantly captured this weak nerve signal!

Beep, beep, beep——!!!

The sharp and rapid alarm sounded, instantly breaking the solemnity and tension maintained by the "Origin" Temple!

"Report! Target individual Xu Shuangyao! Brainwave activity is showing a strong autonomous peak!"

"Neural link recovery: 65%! 70%! Continuously rising!"

"Consciousness activity: breaking through the stagnation threshold!"

"Physiological awakening program...synchronized activation!"

A cold electronic synthesized voice echoed with unprecedented urgency! All medical experts' attention instantly focused on the right life support module! General Raymond suddenly stepped forward to the observation window, his fingers turning slightly white from the exertion! Dr. Owen was so excited that his whole body was shaking, and tears were streaming down his face!

"Frost...Frost girl..." Dr. Owen's voice was choked with sobs.

Inside the life support cabin.

Xu Shuangyao's long, ice-sculptured eyelashes trembled violently, as if resisting immense pressure, or trying to break free from the eternal ice. Once... twice...

finally.

It was like a hot stone was thrown into a frozen lake.

Those eyes covered with frost of ten thousand years...

Extremely slowly...

A tiny gap was opened.

In the gap.

What was revealed were not clear eyes.

Instead, it was an... bottomless, ice-blue void that seemed to contain an eternal cold abyss and broken stars.

Cold.

exhausted.

Endless confusion.

And... a hint of unfamiliarity and exploration of the world that has just been awakened, like a newborn baby.

Her eyes, extremely slowly and without focus, swept across the transparent dome of the life support capsule, across the glaring white light and blurry figures outside. Finally, as if drawn by an invisible magnet, they turned with great difficulty, little by little... to the left.

She turned to the figure of the young man in the life support cabin next to her. His body was wrapped in repair tubes, his left eye was empty, his breath was weak, but he was emitting a faint aura that made the cold mark deep in her soul throb and resonate... a faint fluctuation of the starry sky.

Lin Mo.

The moment Xu Shuangyao's eyes met Lin Mo's—

Buzz!!!

Deep in the empty eye socket of Lin Mo's left eye, those dark golden light spots covered by the biological membrane, as faint as candles in the wind, seemed to have received the most fundamental call and stimulation, and suddenly... lit up collectively!

Although the light is still weak and fleeting.

But it was as if in the eternal cold night, it flickered stubbornly... for a moment.

The moment Xu Shuangyao's ice-blue eyes, which had just opened and were still confused and empty, caught the faint flash of dark golden light, it was like a meteorite being thrown into a calm ice lake!

boom!!!

An indescribable, violent tremor, originating from the very essence of her soul, like a billion-volt electric current, fiercely penetrated the core of her newly awakened consciousness! In the depths of the bottomless ice-blue void, a terrifying storm that swept across the galaxy instantly erupted!
