The Primordial Origin Court's resolution became ripples of rules that swept through the Thought Sea.
The next moment, the consciousnesses of Lin Ye and his allies were cast into an indescribable place-the All-Beings Mindsea. It was a conceptual ocean formed from the collective subconscious projections left by the mental activity of every civilization and every living being in the Thought Sea.
There was no matter, no energy, not even any definite spatial dimensions.
Lin Ye "opened" his perception.
He saw endlessly flowing light. Each kind of light had its own frequency and "flavor": hot as a newborn star, cold as a rational formula, chaotic as fragments of nightmares, tranquil as faint ripples in an ancient well. These were imaginal radiance, representing the deepest inclinations and desires within civilizations' collective consciousnesses.
The ocean of light flowed slowly, colliding and mingling. In its depths, seven presences as vast as black holes or supernovas-the rule projections of the seven extreme templates-were emitting powerful gravitational pulls, drawing in imaginal radiance of similar frequencies.
At the center, the orb of light formed from Lin Ye's multiversal coexistence template seemed "complex" and "gentle." Like a resonance chamber, it emitted layers of harmonious fluctuations, attempting to connect with a broader range of imaginal radiance.
"So this is the All-Beings Mindsea." Radiant Stilllight's voice carried awe. Their consciousnesses were closely linked around the Prototype Light Orb.
"The desires, fears, bewilderment, and hopes of countless civilizations..." Harmonic Leaping Note's perception was delicate. "Like billions of unfinished compositions echoing here."
The Mirrorheart Civilization's logic core processed the data. "Analysis of the flow trends indicates that 'eternal reincarnation' and 'perfect stasis' attract the most mind-images inclined toward 'stability.' 'Sole supremacy' absorbs radiance that yearns for 'absolute order.' 'Painful tempering' holds a special attraction for civilizations that have experienced trauma..."
