The collapse of the Chaos Star Vortex was not the destructive force of an explosion, but a silent annihilation as though the universe itself had been reset to zero.
The cold vortex, about a foot across and slowly rotating, abruptly collapsed inward the instant the soul ember took root at its core and the silver-white data stream triggered the fusion program! Countless brilliant bands of Chaos Star Radiance were swallowed by an invisible maw, instantly contracting and curling inward! The deep darkness at its core shrank violently, condensing into an infinitely small singularity!
The light, sound, and even the flow of time throughout the stone cavern seemed to be twisted and devoured by that collapsing singularity! Absolute deathly silence enveloped everything!
The orange-red and violet-gold pillars of light maintained by Yan Lingji and Ying Zheng silently shattered like fragile glass before that collapsing great power! The two were struck as if by massive hammers, simultaneously spitting out blood before being violently hurled away by an invisible immense force and slammed into the rock walls! The remaining water from the Dragon Source Stone Pool, shattered stones, and dust within the cavern were instantly sucked dry and drawn into the collapsing singularity!
The deathly silence lasted only the span of a finger snap.
Bzzzz—!!!
The singularity, collapsed to the extreme, suddenly erupted with an indescribable Light of Creation! It was neither the brilliance of Chaos Star Radiance nor the splendor of the Human Dao and Earth Dao, but a pure Primal Light of Chaos containing cold order and endless possibilities!
At the center of the eruption, the collapsed singularity had vanished. In its place floated a cocoon of light about the size of an infant!
The entire cocoon flowed with Primal Light of Chaos. Its surface was no longer crystal or horn,
