The dark-red tide of Destruction, like a cataclysmic flood from the dawn of the universe, contained the Nirvana Power of the ancient continent's origin, summoned jointly by the Void Clan's Three Great Monarchs.
With the force to annihilate all things, it instantly swallowed everything along the edge of Soul Burial Rift Valley.
Rubble, dust, lingering starlight, even the finest structures of space—all were broken down within the tide and returned to Guixu.
That core crystal fragment bearing Ming Xin's Nirvana Consciousness, that seemingly ordinary "unpolished stone," bore the brunt of it!
Destructive energy, like hundreds of millions of red-hot steel needles, frantically pierced into the crystal fragment, attempting to utterly dismantle it from the most fundamental particle level.
For the first time, fine cracks like those on shattered porcelain appeared across the surface of the utterly restrained "unpolished stone."
Inside, the Nirvana singularity that had been in absolute stillness finally reacted under this extreme external destructive stimulus!
It was not resistance, but... resonance!
The Nirvana essence contained within the singularity resonated at the same frequency as the Nirvana Power within the external tide of Destruction!
Yet Ming Xin's Nirvana had passed through Reincarnation, merged with the starry dome, and turned toward protection. Deep within its essence were imprinted the seeds of Order and rebirth.
Within that resonance, the external violent power of Destruction was actually forcefully drawn in and absorbed by the singularity in an utterly inconceivable manner!
It was not devouring, but using it as the ultimate "pressure" and "nourishment" upon its own state of "nothingness"!
The "pressure" caused an indescribable qualitative change within the singularity, which had collapsed to its utmost limit;
The "nourishment" provided the final energy needed to shatter the balance of "nothingness" and redefine "existence"!
The moment had come!
"I... am Ming Xin!"
