Baby with Daoist Monarch System

Xu Qinghan seized the opportunity to pursue relentlessly, her body transformed into a golden-black stream of light, instantly charging in front of the Master of Nothingness. The golden-black fire blade in her hand suddenly expanded, transforming into a golden-black vortex, beginning to fiercely devour the Void Energy within the Master of Nothingness!

”Ah—No! My master will not spare you! You are destined for eternal annihilation!” The Master of Nothingness let out a wretched scream, its body cracking inch by inch under the devouring vortex, its massive form rapidly shrinking and dimming. It felt the leakage of its Source, felt the threat of death.

Moments later, the vast body of the Master of Nothingness completely dissipated, turning into the purest Void Energy, devoured by Xu Qinghan’s Power of the Extinguished Fire, feeding back into her Fire.

With the demise of the Master of Nothingness, the entire Ancient Starry Path trembled violently, the encompassing dark void energy beginning to rapidly dissipate, revealing the ancient star remnants eroded by the void. The dark altar where the Master of Nothingness sat also lost its support of power, starting to tremble violently, with cracks spreading across it.

”Hum—”

A wave, a hundred times stronger than any experienced before, surged from the depths of the altar. That wave carried an essence of primordial chaos, a silence from before the creation of heaven and earth, yet it contained boundless vitality and destruction.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Xu Qinghan dashed towards the crumbling altar. The golden-black Fire danced around her, like the first ray of light when chaos first opened. She extended her hand, gently touching the surface of the altar.

”Boom!”

The altar collapsed with a thunderous roar, revealing a deep void fissure beneath it. And in the deepest part of that fissure, a faint yet incomparably ancient flame floated silently.

That flame had no temperature, no light, not even a shape; it seemed like the first trace of chaos when the cosmos opened and yet like the last trace of annihilation when the cosmos ended. It floated silently, entwined by countless fine Void Chains, which squirmed like living beings, continuously eroding and extinguishing this weak flame.

However, unlike the extinguished seed of fire, the interior of this flame wasn’t marked by weak golden light points, but a chaotic spectrum, at times transforming into extreme blackness, at times into blazing gold, and sometimes into profound Runes, as if containing the most primal Powers of creation and destruction in the cosmos.

”This is...the Fire of Chaos!” Xu Qinghan’s heart skipped a beat, feeling that this flame was the very seed of fire her Fire Network guided her to find, also one of the sources of the first Fire at the cosmos’s inception.

She could feel that this seed contained an ultimate ”essence of chaos” and had a peculiar resonance with the Power of Annihilation within her. It wasn’t simply vitality, nor merely annihilation; it was a unity of vitality and annihilation, a balance of creation and destruction, the origin of ”existence” and ”nothingness.”

She extended her hand, and her palm turned illusory and transparent, with the golden-black Fire flickering in her palm like the first ray of light when chaos was born. She gently touched that Fire of Chaos.

”Hum—”

An indescribable flood of ancient information surged into Xu Qinghan’s Divine Soul. It was the scene of the cosmos’s inception, the moment the first vitality was born in chaos, the cycle from nothing to existence and back to nothing. She saw the birth and demise of stars, the rise and fall of civilizations, witnessing the cosmos’s tireless evolution under the Grand Law.

She saw the moment the Master of Nothingness was born, which wasn’t evil, but existed to achieve a ”balance” after the extreme annihilation of the cosmos. It attempted to return the cosmos to eternal nothingness, not for destruction, but to achieve a kind it understood as ”eternity,” an absolute ”nothingness.”

But Xu Qinghan also saw that before the birth of the Master of Nothingness, the Fire of Chaos already existed. It was the cornerstone of the cosmos, the source of life and destruction, the unity of ”existence” and ”nothingness.” The Master of Nothingness tried to extinguish and control it, but it overlooked that the Fire of Chaos is a part of the cosmic Grand Law and cannot be completely extinguished.

This seed wasn’t just Energy; it was a ”Fire of Memory” of the cosmos, a ”Fire of Wisdom” born in chaos. It contained the deepest understanding of the Cosmic Origin, the ability to convert ”chaos” into ”order” and ”Law.”

Xu Qinghan’s body trembled fiercely as her Divine Soul sublimated like never before in this moment. Her golden-black Fire, integrating with the Fire of Chaos, became even more profound and mysterious. It was not just the unity of life and death, existence and nothingness, material and information, but the unity of ”chaos” and ”order,” ”creation” and ”destruction.”

On her forehead, the Ancient God’s Fire Mark exploded with dazzling golden-black light, transforming from mere Runes into an ancient and mysterious ”Chaos Mark,” seemingly containing cosmic mysteries, having both vitality and annihilation, material and void, creation and destruction.

”Fire Eternal...is not mere immortality, but an embrace of all, transforming decay into wonder, chaos into order...” Xu Qinghan murmured to herself, her understanding of the Fire reaching a newly attained height. She could feel, in that moment, the light of the Fire Network becoming unprecedentedly bright, no longer weak starlight but a splendid sea of stars, still fragile yet gaining a hint of resilience and vitality.
