At the center of the Heart Sea, the invisible scales tipped completely.
The Radiance of the Multiversal Symbiosis Network had already surpassed that motley orb of chaotic light in both "weight" and "depth of resonance." The Thought Sea's source will sent out its final pulse:
"The weighing is complete."
"The new era's foundation—'multiversal symbiosis, dynamic evolution'—has been established."
"The anchor of obsession has been set."
Boom!!!
The entire Thought Sea trembled.
The vortices formed by the Seven Extreme Projections flickered violently. At last, amid a complex sigh, they contracted and solidified into seven motionless "monuments of ideology," standing across the Heart Sea. They still emitted Radiance, but no longer possessed the vitality to forcibly assimilate anything. They remained only as proof and warning of history.
The Heart Sea calmed. Countless mind-images sensed the shift in its foundation. A more inclusive, flexible underlying rule—one that encouraged connection and creation—was written into the melody of the Thought Sea.
Lin Ye's consciousness slowly emerged from its state of fusion, though he still retained the deepest connection to the newborn Resonance Network. His heart of "contemplation" became the network's natural focal point of perception.
The source will's orb of light sent him a gentle glow containing vast amounts of information:
"Writer of the era, or perhaps... tuner. The new foundation has been established, yet the Thought Sea is vast, the myriad worlds intertwined, and the inertia of old trajectories immense. You and your Resonance Network shall become the 'first driving force' and the 'force of continuous tuning' for the new era. You are granted corresponding authority, and with it, endless responsibility."
Information about those authorities surged into him. Lin Ye gained higher-level abilities of "observation," "connection guidance," and "resonance enhancement." Through the network's power, he could also intervene against "extreme distortion points" that gravely
