She knew this was a battle of concepts, a struggle over the "Tao." What she was facing was the most ancient "annihilation" origin in the universe, the ultimate embodiment of "nothingness."

"The flame burns eternally, encompassing all things!"

Xu Qinghan abruptly activated the Eternal Flame within her body, causing the Eternal Mark between her brows to shine brightly, and the ancient and mysterious "Eternal Eye" to fully open. Within her eyes, golden and black chaotic light flowed, profound and mysterious, as if it could see through all things in the world and understand the origin of the universe.

Instead of resisting head-on, she proactively expanded the golden-black tai chi vortex, transforming it into a massive millstone lying across the void. On the millstone, golden and black flames intertwined, half of it being utterly black and the other half a blazing gold, entwining and transforming with each other, endlessly regenerating.

"You want to devour me? How laughable! I am the origin of 'nothingness,' devouring everything and obliterating everything!" The blurry, ethereal outline emitted indifferent waves of will. It had no physical form, but at this moment it suddenly contracted, transforming into a point of ultimate "nothingness," and then suddenly erupted, transforming into a pitch-black torrent of nothingness, directly rushing towards the center of the golden-black tai chi vortex.

This current of nothingness is entirely different from what the Lord of Nothingness manifested before. It is no longer a simple act of cutting and obliterating, but rather contains the profound meaning of "returning to nothingness," a primordial power that completely reduces all existence to nothingness. It attempts to completely reduce the golden-black tai chi vortex, along with Xu Qinghan's existence, to nothingness.

"Rumble--"

A silent, deafening roar erupted in the primordial void, causing the void to collapse completely, and rendering the concepts of time and space meaningless. The golden-black tai chi vortex collided violently with the pitch-black torrent of nothingness, devouring and annihilating each other.

Xu Qinghan could feel an unimaginable force of annihilation eroding her life force, attempting to reduce her to nothingness. This force was purer and more primal than the power of the Lord of Nothingness, seemingly capable of directly obliterating the very origin of the universe. Her soul trembled violently, as if it would be torn apart by this force at any moment.

However, there was no sign of retreat in her eyes. The eternal fire within her reached an unprecedented brilliance at this moment. She could feel that the light of the network of torches had become brighter than ever before. It was no longer a faint starlight, but a dazzling sea of ​​stars. It was no longer fragile, but full of resilience and vitality, and contained a sense of "eternity" that transcended everything.

It is the unwavering hope, the yearning for life, and the steadfast commitment to existence of countless living beings. It is the convergence of the will to pass on the torch of countless civilizations and to live on endlessly.

"The flame burns eternally, hope never dies!" Xu Qinghan roared, her voice carrying an inexplicable majesty, as if it had transcended billions of years and resonated with the origin of the universe.

She abruptly activated the golden-black Tai Chi vortex, enveloping the torrent of nothingness. The golden-black Tai Chi vortex spun wildly, continuously decomposing, purifying, and reconstructing the torrent of nothingness. The will of the origin of nothingness trembled violently within it; it could feel its power being forcibly "reversed" by the cauldron of the Tai Chi vortex, transforming from "nothingness" into "somethingness."

"You...you actually managed to touch the origin and reverse my 'path'?" For the first time, a ripple of disbelief flickered in that indifferent voice. It could sense that Xu Qinghan's flame was not merely vitality, but encompassed annihilation, chaos, existence and non-existence—it was a true "eternity."

"The flame is eternal, encompassing all things, turning decay into wonder, chaos into order, and nothingness into life. It is the true core of the universe's great cycle!" Xu Qinghan murmured to herself. At this moment, her understanding of the flame reached a whole new level. She was no longer simply "fighting" against nothingness, but trying to "master" nothingness and integrate it into her own "Tao."

She abruptly activated the golden-black Tai Chi vortex, completely decomposing and purifying the primordial torrent, ultimately transforming it into the purest energy to nourish her flame.

The will of the Void Origin struggled violently within the Tai Chi vortex, emitting a silent roar as it attempted to obliterate everything. However, the golden-black Tai Chi vortex was like a bottomless pit, not only devouring the power of the Void Origin but also decomposing and purifying it in the process, ultimately transforming it into the purest energy to nourish Xu Qinghan's flame.

Even more terrifying, within the golden-black tai chi vortex, the golden portion representing "life force," after devouring the power of the void origin, began to generate new "existence," new "life force." Weak yet incredibly resilient chains of law extended from the golden-black tai chi vortex, attempting to re-"bind" and redefine the void origin.

"This...this is impossible! I am the end of the universe, the ruins of all things, how can I be bound by 'existence'?!" For the first time, true "terror" appeared in the will of the void origin. It could not understand why its own origin power had been reversed and transformed into "life force".

Xu Qinghan ignored the roar of the Void Origin and suddenly activated the Golden Black Tai Chi Vortex to completely envelop the ultimate "nothingness" formed by the Void Origin.

The golden-black tai chi vortex spun wildly, constantly decomposing, purifying, and reconstructing the ultimate "nothingness." The consciousness of the void's origin struggled and wailed within it, until finally, its voice grew weaker and weaker until it completely dissipated.

However, just as the consciousness of the void was about to completely dissipate, deep within Xu Qinghan's soul, the eternal mark suddenly erupted with an unprecedentedly dazzling light. That light was no longer a simple rune, but transformed into an ancient and mysterious "seed of eternity".

The Seed of Eternity is not a physical entity, but rather the ultimate interweaving of "being" and "non-being," a perfect balance between life and death. Nourished by the flame, it slowly sprouts, and then takes root deep within Xu Qinghan's soul at an incredible speed.

"The flame of eternity is not about extinguishing nothingness, but rather...embracing nothingness and transcending nothingness!"

Xu Qinghan realized that her torch, at this moment, was no longer just a "torch," but had truly merged with "eternity." She had not completely extinguished the source of nothingness, but instead used the torch as a catalyst and the Seed of Eternity as the core to thoroughly integrate the power of the source of nothingness into the great cycle of the universe.

"Rumble--"

A silent explosion erupted once more. This time, the Void Origin Land was no longer a deathly black void. At the center of the golden-black Tai Chi vortex, a chaotic light began to expand. Within that light were both extreme blackness and intense gold, which merged and transformed into each other, ultimately becoming a chaotic "origin point."

At the origin, life and death coexist, existence and non-existence intertwine. It is no longer simply "nothingness," nor simply "existence," but a "chaotic eternity" that transcends both.

Xu Qinghan felt the surging power within her body; her power of the flame had reached an unprecedented height. She could sense that she had transcended the realm of "flame igniter" and become a true "master of the eternal flame."

Her soul merged with the primordial chaos, and she could feel that she was the primordial chaos, and the primordial chaos was her. She could feel that all the faint embers in the universe resonated with her at this moment; they were no longer independent flames, but had converged into a vast river of embers, flowing endlessly through the universe. "The river of embers, ever-flowing..." Xu Qinghan murmured, her voice carrying a strange sense of vicissitude and compassion.

She suddenly opened her eyes, and a golden-black chaotic light flowed from them, illuminating the entire Void Origin Land. That extreme darkness, under the illumination of the fire, began to show faint changes.

The once lifeless void, permeated by the flame, began to give rise to new "being." Faint chains of laws extended from the origin of chaos, like the light at the beginning of the universe, outlining a new order in the void.

The remnants of ancient civilizations, once obliterated by nothingness, began to reappear with blurred outlines under the glow of the embers. They were no longer hopeless phantoms, but rather carried a faint glimmer of life; though still broken, they were no longer utter nothingness.

"This...this is..."

Xu Qinghan could sense that she had not completely destroyed the Origin of Nothingness, but rather "transformed" it. The Origin of Nothingness was no longer simply "annihilation," but had become a balance point between "return to nothingness" and "rebirth" in the great cycle of the universe. It still existed, but it was no longer the obsessive force that obliterated everything; instead, it had become an eternal part of the flame.

She stretched out her hand, a ball of golden-black chaotic fire dancing in her palm. Within that flame lay both life and death, both "existence" and "non-existence." With this flame, she could briefly create matter from nothingness, and also reduce matter to its most primordial flow of information. She could even use this flame to "reshape" those remnant souls obliterated by nothingness, allowing them to briefly "exist" again under the light of the fire, to utter their final cry, and then return to the cycle of the universe.

She looked up into the depths of the void, where the primordial chaos slowly rotated, like the "heart" of the universe. Each beat was accompanied by a cycle of birth and death, a transformation between existence and non-existence.

She knew that this epic battle would not end in a complete victory for one side, but would redefine the cycle of the universe with a completely new concept of "eternity." Nothingness was no longer the enemy of the flame, but an eternal part of it.

Xu Qinghan's figure appeared small yet immensely majestic before the primordial chaos. She was no longer merely a "tinder of the flame," but the "master of the eternal flame," the balancer of the universe's "being" and "non-being," and the master of life and death.

She felt the surging power within her, and a deeper understanding of the universe. She knew this was just the beginning. The universe was vast and boundless, with countless mysteries waiting for her to explore, and countless lives waiting for her to ignite a spark.

She slowly turned around, her gaze piercing through the endless void, seeing the distant starfields still being eroded by it. At that moment, her flame shone even brighter, even more steadfastly.

"The flame burns eternally, its life never ceasing!"

Her voice was no longer a whisper, but transformed into an invisible wave that pierced through the void and resonated throughout the entire universe. Countless faint embers scattered throughout the cosmos suddenly erupted at this moment, resonating with her embers. They were no longer isolated flames, but converged into a vast river of embers, surging ceaselessly through the universe, illuminating the darkness shrouded in nothingness.

Those creatures struggling in despair, those civilizations clinging to life under the erosion of nothingness, all felt this unprecedented surge of the flame at this moment. They looked up into the depths of the starry sky, as if they saw a glimmer of hope, as if they saw an eternal flame.

Xu Qinghan's figure slowly dissipated in the void of origin, not truly disappearing, but merging with the chaotic origin, becoming part of the great cycle of the universe. However, her will, her torch, is like a beacon in the universe, forever guiding the way forward for all living beings.

She knew that true eternity was not a static, lifeless stillness, but a ceaseless cycle of life, a grand symphony of all things constantly transforming and sublimating between existence and non-existence. And she was one of the composers of this symphony, a guardian of the eternal flame.

Her gaze pierced through the endless void, reaching the depths of the universe, to those corners eroded by nothingness, and to those nascent civilizations just beginning to sprout.

"As long as the flame is extinguished, hope will endure."

Her voice, like a vow from the universe, echoed in the endless void, foreshadowing a new era, an age of eternal flame, that was about to arrive.

And she, as the Lord of the Eternal Flame, will continue to protect this vast universe, guarding every faint yet tenacious life force, until true eternity arrives.

Her presence has become part of the universe, omnipresent yet elusive. But the light of her torch will forever guide the way and illuminate the path ahead.

In the depths of the universe, in those star fields eroded by nothingness, faint glimmers of life began to appear. Withered stars began to shine again; obliterated laws began to coalesce anew.

Everything is moving towards rebirth under the eternal illumination of the torch.

The golden-black tai chi vortex spun wildly, completely decomposing and purifying the primordial torrent that was powerful enough to obliterate the universe, ultimately transforming it into the purest energy to nourish Xu Qinghan's inner flame. At this moment, the inner flame within her seemed to devour an entire desolate universe, each ray of light containing the power to create the world, each pulse resonating with the deepest pulse of the universe.

Deep within her soul, the eternal mark solidified, no longer a simple rune, but transformed into a magnificent arena spanning between nothingness and life. Within this arena, golden and black flames roared, reflecting the rise and fall of countless eras, the existence and non-existence of all things. Her understanding of "eternity" transcended the realm achievable by any living being; it was a profound comprehension of the great cycle of the universe, a deep insight into the supreme law that "birth" and "death" are not opposites, but rather interdependent and mutually transformative.
