The cycle of expansion and contraction now was only a sign.
Whether the First Origin Point could successfully become Chaos again would not be clear until after a crucial moment.
As the First Origin Point expanded and contracted, it began to feel strangely like a heart.
It was the heart of Chaos, beating without cease, trying to come alive and evolve a body of Chaos.
Many Great Powers even heard a faint heartbeat, there and yet not there.
Meng Chuan silently felt the bond between himself and the Chaos Cycle Seed. As the First Origin Point changed, that bond fluctuated too, becoming somewhat unstable.
This was normal. The further the Chaos Cycle Seed evolved, the less stable his bond with it would become, and the fainter it would grow.
That change did not affect Meng Chuan's plan.
He only needed to achieve Dao Union before his bond with the Chaos Cycle Seed vanished entirely.
The First Origin Point's changes looked like simple expansion and contraction, but they were actually a manifestation of the Great Dao and the point's own endless possibilities and infinite transformations.
The First Origin Point was entwined and fused with the Great Dao, evolving without cease toward that sliver of life. That was what caused its current cycle.
No ordinary person could comprehend such a change. It was driven directly by the power of the Great Dao Matrix, on a level far too high and profound.
No living being had ever uncovered all the mysteries of the Great Dao Matrix. The Escaped One was even beyond the matrix's control.
What the Great Dao Matrix itself could not control was all the more impossible for a living being to understand.
Even Meng Chuan did not understand the essence of these changes or the essence of the Escaped One.
