When the earth is barren, a seed that falls to the ground cannot withstand any storms; it is difficult for it to survive, let alone save the world.
But it burns, a tiny yet bright, weak yet warm spark in this cold world. Its apparent insignificance and futility are merely because it is currently just a seed.
Shion recalled how she purged humanity when she became the king of the new world, or more precisely, how she retrieved the corpses of important people and resurrected them using genes.
She descended from the heavens, crowned herself in the name of God, and sounded the trumpet of the end times.
Looking back now, the people underground, supporting each other, their eyes filled with anger and despair, revealed incomprehension and accusation, as if questioning why she betrayed humanity.
She was once just a well-protected, warm-hearted, and innocent child. She made mistakes due to confusion, forgetting her priorities, and out of fear...
Make a mistake.
But Tokine felt lucky.
She reached the end of every road.
She was once the ultimate villain, bringing chaos and darkness to the world, a situation the world could hardly resolve. She was once the most innocent child, her clear eyes and sincere heart illuminating her path when she was lost.
Now, she will become the strongest person, bringing together the past and the future.
She cannot die, she cannot die. An immortal person is only lonely and desolate in the long river of history. When important people die, she can only chase after similar shadows. Countless times she stood on the ruins and asked herself.
What should I do?
And now, this is the solution that Tokine came up with.
Her physical body, being immortal, sustains the world; when her spirit can no longer sustain it, she ascends to become the world. She is the world, a part of the world, possessing a spirit that transcends ordinary people, thus achieving a sublimation beyond the capacity of ordinary people to bear.
The fiery crow slid down, its blazing sacrificial mark aimed at the rotting tree trunk and cleaved down with a mighty blow. All the world marks resonated together, for those they had once followed, for the world of humanity.
The greatsword collided with the black and red substance on the rotting tree trunk, and the evil thoughts climbed up and rushed straight into Shi Yin's brain. However, the mark of sacrifice shone brightly and actually burned away all the evil substance.
A warrior who is always ready to sacrifice himself and pave the way for others, no matter when or where!
[Again!]
Shi Yin saw Ye Yuansong's shadow roaring; this was not an illusion, it was real.
Of all these markings, only the marking of sacrifice is one where the marking and the soul are one.
The heroic mark suddenly shone brightly, rushing forward with unstoppable momentum and forcefully opening a crack in the evil matter. Shi Yin took a deep breath, raised her hand, or rather, the sacrificial mark carried her hand up, and slashed down fiercely once again.
This time, all the engravings were burning, the flames illuminating the sky and turning the space into a dazzling gold.
This time, the strange blackish-red substance was like a withered branch instantly burned to ashes by the engraved flames, or like ice and snow rapidly melting under the blazing sun.
In the blink of an eye, the World Tree was reduced to half a stump. The trunk, half of which had been burned, was covered with flowing annual rings, numbering in the hundreds of millions, each representing the age of the Earth.
As the engraving burned out, Shi Yin's hand went empty. She closed her mouth as if she had lost all her strength, like a seed that had been casually tossed aside and fell into the very center of the tree's rings.
The shimmering white rings of the tree rippled like water, embracing the tiny spark.
The World Tree remained silent. In fact, it should have stopped Shion and killed her directly, since what Shion had just done had burned away all possibilities in the world of Earth.
World Tree has never been able to figure out Tokine's thought process.
So that's how it was solved?
This completely burns away all parallel worlds and world lines at their source, thus completely eliminating the new world.
The old world was destroyed too, wasn't it?
Considering that it still had the power to reverse time, the World Tree remained silent and tolerated Shion's actions. If it were Shion, it would be willing to watch a little longer until Shion finished.
He has given birth to countless creatures; humanity is but a drop in the ocean.
But this human has created too many miracles, and the initial intention behind creating these miracles was pure. Even though He himself does not care about such insignificant creatures as humans, He is still proud of them and willing to cast His gaze upon them.
This process lasted a very, very long time. An ordinary person would probably be dozing off by now, but the Earth itself has already gone through hundreds of millions of years, so this wait is just a blink of an eye.
And so, He saw.
On the huge tree stump, at the very center of the tree rings, where the seed had fallen, a new sprout grew.
The new shoot emitted a pale golden light and grew faster and faster. The World Tree was astonished. It discovered that the new shoot had actually merged with itself, and that it was even the soil and the nourishment!
The new shoot grew taller and thicker, eventually becoming as thick as the stump left by the World Tree. It climbed rapidly until it stopped at a certain point.
That was the point at which Tokine sacrificed herself.
From then on, all the chaotic, destroyed, and surviving worldlines merged into one, becoming the main trunk of this successful world!
From this point onward, the trunk begins to split into branches.
Is she serious?
Even the World Tree couldn't help but feel astonished and amazed.
He, Earth, as the World Tree that has nurtured the world for hundreds of millions of years, has countless world lines and branches, so many that they cannot even be described in terms of hundreds of millions.
Countless main branches grow additional branches, which in turn grow and divide, endlessly regenerating. Does this human being intend to achieve this on its own?
At least in the World Tree's deduction, this possibility is infinitely close to zero.
However, it seems that this possibility is so small that it can only approach zero, rather than actually becoming zero.
The branches are splitting, slowly but steadily.
Shi Yin has been reborn more than a thousand times, or rather, her rebirths are not purely rebirths.
She observes the world, predicts the future and its outcome.
She has been reborn thousands of times. In fact, she has to deduce each step countless times before choosing the path that is easiest to succeed, most stable, and has the highest probability of success. Then she tries each path one by one from top to bottom.
But each node can split into countless possibilities, and these possibilities split again, all of which Shiyin observes and remembers.
She remembers every possibility, every flower, every blade of grass, every tree; she remembers what the world originally looked like, and how the world was healthy when the sun shone through.
She is a seed.
It is the fire that burns itself.
After early humans discovered the first spark of fire, they learned how to use it.
When the first seed is planted, takes root, sprouts, blossoms, and bears fruit, the world begins to thrive and be filled with life.
The Spark Project was carried out by only one person from beginning to end.
This is the real Spark Project.
