The instant Goni awoke, neither the rapidly spinning double helix nor the two enormous star clusters ceaselessly devouring everything mattered as much as Li Ziran's consciousness.
Five minutes. Since he had awoken, the appointed time must have arrived. Whatever happened, he could not let Li Ziran sink into this nothingness now.
He opened his palm, and a block of interwoven gold and green energy appeared in his hand. At its center, he could faintly see a human silhouette bearing Li Ziran's likeness.
This was Li Ziran's Soul Fragment. As Goni flicked the energy block, a string of patterns flooded into the soul. The sealed soul immediately shook violently like a reflection in water.

But just then, a terrifying pressure descended upon him. The elliptical star cluster resembling a red giant suddenly collapsed, forming a black speck just as Li Ziran had. Countless Void Elements swarmed into it like flying insects, dragging masses of double helices in with them.
