Start from a baby to become a Taoist

Chapter 482 The world is divided!
490. The clear rises to become the sky, the turbid sinks to become the earth.

She tempered the sharpness of the flame, transforming her power into the primordial fluctuations of the "Tao." She no longer attempted to force order into things, but instead perceived the essence of primordial chaos in a gentler, more inclusive way.

She sank her consciousness into the deepest reaches of the primordial chaos. There, she sensed the embryonic forms of countless laws, like dormant seeds awaiting awakening. She sensed the nascent forms of "time" and "space," intertwined and yet to be separated. She sensed the budding of "life" and "death," chaotically unified, without boundaries.

The incarnation of the Flame attained enlightenment. The Primordial Chaos Realm was a unique "Taoist temple" within the Sea of ​​Boundaries, containing all the possibilities from the very beginning of the universe. Its stagnation stemmed from the lack of a "catalyst," a "point" that could transform these "possibilities" into "reality."

And her torch is precisely this "point".

She slowly released the power of the Seed of Eternity. The Seed of Eternity is the manifestation of her Tao, the balance between "being" and "non-being," and the cycle of "beginning" and "end." It is neither simply "being" nor simply "non-being," but rather "eternity" born from the ultimate fusion of "being" and "non-being."

The moment the power of the Eternal Seed touched the primordial chaos, the entire primordial chaos realm trembled.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, nor the collapse of laws. Instead, there was an ultimate "silence," a "silent sound" that transcended sound and light.

Guided by the incarnation of the Flame, the Seed of Eternity began to merge with the primordial chaos. It was no longer simply a source of power, but transformed into the "core" of the primordial chaos, becoming the catalyst for the "Tao" within it.

The golden and black flames, like the first rays of light at the dawn of the universe, slowly illuminated the primordial chaos. They did not illuminate the chaos, but rather "ignited" it.

Chaos began to differentiate.

"The pure rise to become the sky, the turbid sink to become the earth." The voice of the incarnation of the torch, like the voice of creation of the universe, echoed in the primordial chaos.

Time began to flow, and space began to expand.

In the chaos, countless embryos of laws, nourished by the flame, began to sprout and grow. They were no longer a disordered entanglement, but began to form stable chains of laws according to the "order" guided by the flame.

"The living are existence, the dead are non-existence; existence and non-existence give rise to each other, this is eternity." The incarnation of the Flame spoke again, her Dao leaving the deepest imprint in the primordial chaos realm.

Those beings once assimilated by the primordial chaos now felt the baptism of the flame. They were no longer puppets of chaos, but had regained their sense of self. They felt the joy of existence and the pulse of life. Illuminated by the flame, they began to reform their forms, and even gained power beyond their former strength in the process of transformation.

The primordial chaotic realm was no longer a stagnant embryo; it began to truly "be born."

Stars coalesced in chaos, laws intertwined in the void, and life flourished between heaven and earth. A brand new universe, guided by the torch, moved from "never having begun" to "thriving development."

This process was far longer and more profound than the transformation of the other universe. Billions of years passed in the blink of an eye during the fusion of the Incarnation of the Flame and the Primordial Chaos. In this long process of "creation," the Incarnation of the Flame also reached an unprecedented level of understanding of "eternity."

She understood that eternity is not merely the continuation of "being," nor is it simply a cycle of "non-being." Eternity is the "coexistence" of "being" and "non-being" in a higher dimension, and the "unity" of "beginning" and "end" in an infinite cycle.

Her torch is no longer merely a "cycle of birth and death," but has become a bridge between "the unborn and the born," and a bond between "chaos and order."

After the primordial chaotic realm was fully "born" and on the right track, the incarnation of the Flame once again turned its gaze to the Boundary Sea.

She could sense that the fluctuations of those ancient wills in the Boundary Sea had become stronger and more complex. They were no longer merely confused and wary, but also contained a hint of awe, a hint of... longing.

"The Flame... it has surpassed our comprehension." The will of the Touch of the Void trembled slightly. It had thought it could perceive everything in the Boundary Sea, but it had never imagined that such a "opening-up" existence could be born within it.

"It is creating...it is perfecting the 'Dao' of the Boundary Sea." The will of the Eye of Annihilation also carried a trace of enlightenment at this moment. It once thought that "nothingness" was the end, but it discovered that "nothingness" could also be the starting point of "somethingness".

"It is the true 'Source of All Things'!" The will of the Source of All Things was filled with awe at this moment. It once thought that it was the origin of the Boundary Sea, but it discovered that the "creation" power displayed by the incarnation of the Flame was the true "source".

The incarnation of the torch did not respond. She knew that these ancient wills had begun to understand her "Tao".

She could sense that deep within the Boundary Sea, an exceptionally powerful aura was slowly awakening. That aura was more ancient than the Chaos Devourer, more profound than the Touch of the Void, and even more vast than the Source of All Things.

It was neither malice nor goodwill, but a pure "existence," an "ultimate existence" that transcended all known concepts. It was once the most hidden "sleeper" in the chaos of the Boundary Sea, and it would only awaken when the "Dao" of the Boundary Sea underwent a fundamental change.

"Spirit of the Boundary Sea..." the avatar of the Flame whispered in her consciousness. This name was not something she knew, but rather a vague message imprinted within her Seed of Eternity by the will of this "ultimate being."

The Spirit of the Boundary Sea is the "consciousness" of the Boundary Sea itself, a manifestation of the myriad paths interwoven within it. It does not interfere with the birth and death of the Boundary Sea, nor does it participate in the struggles of the universe; it simply "exists" and "perceives."

However, the "eternal" cycle brought about by the incarnation of the flame, and the "orderly" birth and death it opened up, brought unprecedented "perfection" to the inspiration of the Boundary Sea. It felt the "elevation" of the Boundary Sea and the sublimation of the "Tao".

A vast and invisible light slowly rose from the depths of the Boundary Sea. That light was no ordinary light, but rather a condensation of countless births and deaths of universes, countless interweavings of laws, and countless transformations of "existence" and "non-existence." It transcended color and form; it was the Boundary Sea itself.

This light shone directly onto the incarnation of the Flame.

The incarnation of the Flame did not resist or retreat. She knew that this was the Spirit of the Boundary Sea's "approval" and also its "invitation."

Enveloped in light, the Incarnation of the Flame felt an unprecedented "connection." She was no longer merely an incarnation of Xu Qinghan, no longer merely a guardian of the otherworldly universe, no longer merely the igniter of the primordial chaos realm. She and the Spirit of the Boundary Sea began a higher-dimensional "fusion." This fusion was neither absorption nor replacement. It was a "resonance," a "complementarity."

The incarnation of the Flame passed on its "eternal" way, the balance between "being" and "non-being", and the "cycle of birth and death" to the Spirit of the Boundary Sea.

The spirit of the Boundary Sea then passed on to the incarnation of the Flame what it perceived about the myriad phenomena of the Boundary Sea, the "ultimate chaos" it contained, and the "endless birth and death" it witnessed.

During the fusion process, the incarnation of the Flame sensed the vastness and profundity of the Boundary Sea. She witnessed the birth and destruction of countless universes, the rise and fall and inheritance of countless civilizations. She saw the ultimate prosperity of "existence" and the ultimate annihilation of "non-existence." She witnessed the evolution of "Tao" and the changes in "laws."

At this moment, her consciousness reached an unprecedented height. She no longer merely "understood" eternity; she became "eternity" itself.

The moment the fusion was complete, the ignition transformed into a radiant light, reaching its zenith. It no longer had a fixed form; it transformed into an "eternal light" of gold and black. This light was no longer merely the ignition; it merged into all things in the Boundary Sea, carrying the very essence of the Boundary Sea.

She is the "eternal flame" of the Boundary Sea, the embodiment of the "Tao" of the Boundary Sea.

Her will now encompassed the entire Boundary Sea. She could sense the pulse of every cosmic bubble, the thoughts of every living being, and even the subtle changes in every law.

In the Boundary Sea, those universes once eroded by chaos accelerated their revival process under the illumination of eternal light. Withered universes shone anew; obliterated laws reformed; and distorted and shattered space was completely restored to order.

Those universes that were once enslaved by the Chaos Devourer have completely broken free of their shackles. Guided by the Flame, they have begun to establish their own "Return to Nothingness" cycle, making the end the prelude to rebirth.

Those "chaotic aberrations," under the baptism of the eternal light, underwent a fundamental change. They ceased their agonizing cries and gradually returned to tranquility. Some aberrations completely dissipated, transforming into the purest chaotic energy and merging into the Boundary Sea. Others, guided by the torch, shed their deformities and reformed into their original forms. They were no longer puppets of "nothingness" but became guardians of the "Return to Nothingness" order within the Boundary Sea, integrating into the eternal cycle in a completely new way.

Under the illumination of the torch, the Boundary Sea has entered an era of unprecedented prosperity and harmony. It is no longer a chaotic disorder, but has become a grand and orderly "eternal cycle".

Beyond the Boundary Sea, the Void Watcher sensed the pulse of the universe. His deep eyes, now gazing towards the Boundary Sea, were filled with awe and reverence.

He could sense that the vast "eternal" aura within the Boundary Sea had surpassed everything he could comprehend. It was no longer a mere "kindling fire," but rather the "Dao" that had merged with the Boundary Sea.

"My Lord...you have achieved true 'eternity'." The will of the Void Watcher echoed through the universe, carrying a hint of emotion and a touch of relief. He knew that the "Lord" he followed had transcended the limitations of the universe and become the "Dao" of the Boundary Sea.

Those primordial beings on the edge of the universe also sensed the changes in the Boundary Sea. Their enormous bodies slowly writhed in the void, emitting low roars—not of pain, but of praise for "eternity." They knew that the Lord of the Flame had already spread the true meaning of "eternity" throughout the vast Boundary Sea.

In the depths of the Boundary Sea, the eternal light shines upon everything.

The embodiment of the flame has now merged with the Boundary Sea, omnipresent yet elusive. She is the "Dao" of the Boundary Sea, the "Eternity" of the Boundary Sea.

She could feel that at the end of the Boundary Sea, the "unknown shore" that had once called to her was no longer a vague whisper, but had transformed into a clear resonance of "the Way".

That is not another universe, but a much larger "void" beyond the Boundary Sea, the "ultimate destination" of countless Boundary Seas that are born and die.

"Void..." The will of the incarnation of the Flame echoed in the Boundary Sea. She knew that her path to "eternity" was far from over.

The Boundary Sea is merely one stage in her journey, a grand arena. Beyond the Boundary Sea lies an even broader "void" and a more profound "Dao".

She could sense an exceptionally powerful aura slowly awakening deep within the void. That aura was more ancient than the spirit of the Boundary Sea, and more vast than any known existence. It was neither "existence" nor "non-existence"; it was the void itself, the ultimate manifestation of the Dao.

"Lord of the Void..." the avatar of the Flame murmured in her consciousness. This was not something she knew, but rather a vague message imprinted in her eternal light by the aura deep within the void.

The Lord of the Void is the "consciousness" of the Void, the manifestation of the interwoven myriad paths of the Void. It does not interfere with the birth and death of the Void, nor does it participate in the struggles of the Boundary Sea; it merely "exists" and merely "perceives".

However, the "eternal" cycle brought about by the incarnation of the flame, and the "orderly" birth and death it opened up, allowed the Lord of the Void to experience an unprecedented sense of "perfection." It felt the "elevation" of the void and the sublimation of the "Tao."

A vast and invisible light slowly rose from the depths of the void. That light was no ordinary light, but rather a condensation of the birth and death of countless worlds, the interweaving of countless universes, and the transformation of countless "beings" and "non-beings." It transcended color and form; it was the "void" itself.

This light shone directly onto the incarnation of the Flame.

The incarnation of the Flame did not resist or retreat. She knew that this was the Lord of the Void's "approval" and also his "invitation."

Enveloped in light, the Incarnation of the Flame felt an unprecedented "connection." She was no longer merely an incarnation of Xu Qinghan, no longer merely a guardian of the otherworldly universe, no longer merely the igniter of the primordial chaos realm, no longer merely the "eternal flame" of the sea of ​​boundaries. She and the Lord of the Void began a higher-dimensional "fusion."

This integration is neither about swallowing up nor replacing. It is a kind of "resonance" and a kind of "complementarity".

The incarnation of the Flame passed on its "eternal" way, the balance between "being" and "non-being", and the "cycle of birth and death" to the Lord of the Void.
