The decision was made, but how to repair the " Scar of Origin " was an unprecedented problem. This was not damage at the material level, but a break at the level of the concept of rules. The Thousand Sunny cautiously approached the huge mark, and the closer it got, the more it could feel the overwhelming pressure and tragic mood originating from the origin of the universe.
Just as they were pondering how to proceed, the Scar of Origin seemed to sense their approach and intentions. Ripples spread across the surface of the massive scar, and three orbs of light of different colors, exuding a mysterious aura, slowly separated from the scar and hovered in front of the Thousand Sunny.
At the same time, the ancient consciousness of the Scar Keeper resounded once more, carrying a hint of barely perceptible anticipation:
"To repair the Scar of the Source, one must pass the ' Trial of the Scar '."
"These three colored orbs of light respectively embody the true meaning of 'order,' ' Chaos,' and 'existence.'"
"Only by truly understanding and mastering these three powers can one attain the qualification for restoration."
"Touch the sphere of light, and the trial begins. Failure will cause your consciousness to be lost to the origin of the rules, and you will be forever condemned."
"Choose, heir."
The three orbs of light emanate pure gold (order), shifting gray ( Chaos ), and warm white light (existence), respectively. They represent the three fundamental forces that constitute the universe and are key to healing the wounds.
Without hesitation, Allen, Luffy, Robin exchanged glances and each walked towards the light sphere that best suited them.
Allen reached for the golden sphere of light representing "order." In an instant, his consciousness was pulled into a pure world composed of countless chains of rules and geometric laws. Here, he needed to re-examine, Definition, and even reconstruct some of the fundamental cosmological constants. Any mistake could lead to the collapse of the entire world of consciousness, testing his ultimate understanding and control over the rules.
Luffy laughed as he touched the gray orb representing " Chaos." His consciousness was plunged into a boundless, ever-changing, and utterly unpredictable storm of fantasy. There were no paths, no directions, only endless possibilities and chaos. The test was the essence of "freedom"—the ability to maintain one's true self amidst absolute Chaos and to forge a path through one's own will.
Robin calmly placed her hand on the white sphere of light representing "existence." Her consciousness merged into a vast "sea of information," which recorded the rise and fall of countless lives, civilizations, and stars since the birth of the universe, as well as their emotions. She needed to find and uphold the meaning of her "self" in this torrent of information, which was so complex that it could assimilate any individual consciousness, and to understand the value and weight of "existence" itself.
The three were engrossed in a profound trial, their bodies frozen in place, their auras becoming erratic. Time seemed to stand still outside, with only the three orbs of light flickering faintly.
I don't know how much time passed; it felt like a moment, yet also like eternity.
The golden sphere representing "order" stabilized first, its light receding and transforming into a smooth golden rune that merged into Allen's brow. He opened his eyes, and within them seemed to be a galaxy in motion, rules arising and ceasing, his control over the power of " Definition " reaching an unprecedented level of subtlety.
Immediately afterwards, the gray sphere of light representing " Chaos " suddenly exploded, not in destruction, but in the transformation into a liberated realm full of life and laughter. Luffy's figure leaped out from it, and Nika Form became even purer, as if he himself had become the embodiment of "freedom".
Finally, the white orb representing "existence" slowly bloomed like a lotus flower, and Robin's figure appeared. Her aura became deeper and more inclusive, as if carrying the weight of countless historical events and the weight of life, with clear and firm eyes.
The three of them successfully passed the trial!
The moment their consciousness returned, the remaining power of the three orbs of light merged with their origin, forming an invisible yet stable triangular connection between them. Order, Chaos, and existence—these three forces were not in opposition, but rather, under the guidance of their will, achieved a perfect balance and cycle.
A warm, solid, and composite radiance containing three true meanings—the " Light of the Heart "—was naturally emanating from them for the first time, illuminating this silent Void.
A wave of approval emanated from the Scar Keeper's consciousness. "Qualification... has been obtained. However, the path to repair remains long. Use this ' Light of the Heart ' as a guide to feel the pain of the scar and seek the way to mend it!"
