Void.
Absolute nothingness, absolute silence.
There is no light, no darkness, no concept of time, no concept of space. This is a desert of existence, a graveyard of rules. Only the eternal "nothingness" that can erase all traces of existence slowly flows.
Pei Du's consciousness was like a grain of sand thrown into the millstone of absolute nothingness. A cold, vast torrent, as if carrying all the icy laws of the universe's origins—the information flow contained in the "blood of the star core"—still madly washed and tore at the core of his consciousness. Countless shattered cosmic images, incomprehensible icy runes, whispers from beyond dimensions, and a despairingly indifferent "gaze"—composed the ultimate millstone, capable of completely assimilating and crushing any consciousness.
[Error…Logic core overloaded…Unable to parse…Rule level too high…]
[Warning! Host consciousness field structure is on the verge of collapse! Assimilation risk 99.999%...]
[Forced Stasis Protocol… Invalid… Core Instructions… Recovered… Lost…]
The crimson data stream in his right eye had long been shattered by the torrent of information beyond this dimension, leaving only intermittent, illogical, and fragmented alarms. The Sentinel's cold logic, in the face of these rules originating from the very beginnings of the universe, was as fragile as a child's babbling.
The dark vortex of stardust in the left eye also stopped spinning, filled and frozen by endless fragments of rules. The cold light of order was like a candle in the wind, swaying and about to go out in the torrent of information.
Pei Du's own unyielding fighting mark and his new chaotic will were shattered into pieces, like a lone boat in a storm, which could be completely swallowed up and all traces of its existence wiped out at any time.
“Uh…ah…”
Only the most instinctive scream of pain, emanating from the deepest depths of his soul, still echoed faintly in the void. His consciousness, as if nailed to the rack of this void by billions of icy nails of rules, endured the torture of assimilation beyond his limit. The feeling of his body had long since vanished, and the boundaries of his existence were blurring. He felt as if he were becoming part of this void itself, a drop of water in the torrent of icy rules.
Sinking. Eternal sinking seemed inevitable.
In that billionth of a second when consciousness is about to be completely obliterated and assimilated—
Buzz!!!
A faint emerald-gold light with an unquestionable presence, like the first ray of dawn piercing the eternal night, lit up without warning in the absolute darkness at the core of Pei Du's consciousness!
It's Gaia's will! It's Xu Shuangyao!
This will penetrated the absolute barrier of nothingness, ignoring the information flood that could obliterate stars, and precisely anchored the core of his consciousness, which was about to dissipate! It was no longer the majestic planetary power of the past, but was incomparably cohesive and tenacious, like a golden thread forged from pure protective will that penetrated the endless void!
This thread ignored the crazy impact of the "Blood of the Star Core" information flow and the assimilation force of nothingness. Like the most dexterous needle, it accurately pierced into the deepest part of Pei Du's consciousness, the mark of existence belonging to "Pei Du" that had not yet been completely erased!
[Catch me! Pei Du!]
Don't sink!
[Your name! Your will! Your anger! Your protection!]
[They belong to you! Not to these cold rules! Not to this nothingness!]
Xu Shuangyao's (Gaia) thoughts, with the anxiety to tear the soul apart, the determination to burn everything, and the warmth to penetrate all obstacles, were like the loudest morning bells and evening drums, striking fiercely at the core of Pei Du's consciousness that was about to fall silent!
This call is like a huge rock thrown into a stagnant pond!
boom!!!
That mark of existence belonging to "Pei Du" anchored by the golden thread, under this desperate call for protection, was like a dying star that was injected with the fuel of creation, and suddenly burst out with unprecedented light!
"I... am... Pei Du——!!!"
A roar originating from the origin of the soul, a mixture of the majesty of stardust, the howling of the void, and the unyielding roar of mankind, exploded in the core of nothingness!
This roar was no longer a cry of pain, but a declaration of existence! It was the awakening of will! It was the ultimate resistance to the cold torrent of rules and the millstone of nothingness!
The scattered fragments of Stardust's will, drawn by this roar, converged like iron filings drawn to a magnet! The light of order at the core of the dark vortex instantly blazed brightly! It was cold, yet it carried the determination to protect their home and their loved ones!
The fragments of chaotic consciousness that had been shattered by the impact were reunited under the unification of the "Pei Du" mark and supported by Gaia's will! They became more solid and unified! The unyielding fighting spirit burned brightly!
Even... in the torrent of "Star Core Blood" information that originally tried to assimilate him, certain cold rule fragments representing "annihilation", "devourment", and "space control" were forcibly stripped away, captured, crushed, and absorbed in the face of this unified and powerful will of resistance that erupted from within!
Pei Du's consciousness structure, which was on the verge of collapse, did not disintegrate under the impact of this torrent of resistance. Instead, it began to reorganize and...evolve in an incredible way!
Deep within his left eye, the dark vortex swirled again. The light of stardust order at its core was even colder and purer, while the void energy flowing at its edges took on a deeper, dark green sheen, a glimmer of devoured rules. The chaotic crimson data stream in his right eye was forcibly suppressed and converged, no longer a shackle, but a pure computing tool, coldly and efficiently assisting the operation of his new will.
The most fundamental change occurs in the chest!
Under the impact of the torrent of consciousness resistance, the dark star core underwent a drastic change in form after forcibly swallowing some of the "Star Core Blood" rule fragments!
