Yet their "creation" gradually spiraled out of control.
They began manufacturing "Narrative Singularities" on a massive scale—dimensional devices capable of temporarily overwriting reality within a local area and forcibly staging woven narratives. At first, it was entertainment. Later, it became "artistic experimentation." In the end, it became a display of their mode of existence.
Their thoughts projected violent, dazzling "Narrative Fireworks" into the Thought Sea, endlessly exploding and expanding outward. Yet the debris from those "fireworks"—escaped conceptual fragments, logical contradictions, and unfinished narrative entropy—severely polluted and eroded the stability of reality in neighboring dimensions.
An alarm came from the Three Phases:
"The Mirrorheart Civilization dimension has developed 'Reality Folds.' Its connection channel to the main universe is being internally 'blunted' by its own thought-force field. The Pioneer Cluster's 'Epic Theater' device has erupted out of control in the Shadowy Star Belt, trapping three native civilizations in mutually contradictory narrative loops. The risk of cognitive collapse is extremely high."
The Primordial Source commented, "A single thought can create a world, and a single thought can also forge shackles. What Mirrorheart seeks in 'absolute self-sufficiency' is, in truth, the lonely dead end of existence. If the Pioneers' pursuit of 'infinite narratives' loses its basic reverence for the existence of others, it becomes nihilistic plunder beneath a carnival."
Lin Ye knew that direct intervention would have little effect on these two civilizations, which had deeply identified with their own paths and whose paths were "self-consistent" under certain systems of logic.
They were not nostalgists like the Order Orphans, but "vanguards" born of a new age who had taken the wrong road.
To stop their deviation, he needed a form of "revelation" that could reach the ultimate vision at the end of their paths and trigger inward reflection, not external "discipline."
