The pulsating waves of the Law of Life spread throughout the realm of existence, stirring up Primordial Tide composed of nascent energy when it touches the "silent boundary of origin." Each drop of this tide contains the "original code of life's germination": some contain the "tremor of the first interweaving of light and dark energy," allowing the one who touches it to see "the moment the first ray of light in the universe was born"; some contain the "ripples of consciousness's first perception of itself," and when touched, they evoke "the bewilderment and curiosity of 'I' upon first encountering the world"; the most central cluster of tides condenses the "pure form of the desire to create itself"—it has no attributes, yet it can suddenly ignite in all life the "urge to create something from nothing," as if returning to "the zero point before all creation began."

The group of consciousnesses, waiting in silence for their rhythm—formed as "curled energy cocoons," their shells covered with "unactivated life patterns"—were being gently lifted by the Primordial Tide. One of the energy cocoons touched the "tide of nascent light and darkness," and suddenly the shell cracked open, revealing a "silver-golden glimmer." Within the crack, a "double helix structure being woven" could be faintly seen, as if reenacting the "birth of the law of balance." Another energy cocoon, enveloping the "core tide of creative desire," began to "tremble irregularly," its patterns "expanding at a geometric rate," evolving from simple lines into "complex star charts," as if to "rehearse all possible forms" before breaking free of the cocoon.

"The new life nurtured by the pulse is a 'miracle of creation from zero to one' for the budding life." Qingxian watched the energy cocoons "slowly unfold" in the Primordial Tide. Their changes broke through the "law of gradual growth," yet subtly aligned with the "essence of life's leap." "We always think that new life is a 'continuation of what already exists,' but we forget that the Primordial Tide has already 'preserved the possibility of creation from nothing.' Just like this tide, it doesn't rely on the past, but only displays the 'power that sprouts from emptiness'—this 'breakthrough beyond inheritance' is the most precious gift beyond life itself."

Yanche's Life Incubator evolved into the "Germination Catalyst" beside the Primordial Tide. The core of the instrument is the "Primordial Crystal that can activate the original code," which can provide the key kinetic energy for the energy cocoon to "break out of the cocoon": "Potential Unlocking Patterns" can open the "sealed life patterns" on the cocoon shell. After being catalyzed by it, the energy cocoon that weaves a double helix emerges in the silver-gold light with "the guardian forms of light and dark energy respectively". The law of balance has "completed the internal dialectical unity" before breaking out of the cocoon; "Form Pre-rehearsal Field" allows the energy cocoon to "try and fail in consciousness" before breaking out of the cocoon - the trembling energy cocoon tried "millions of forms" in the pre-rehearsal, and finally chose "the fluid form that can freely deform with the environment", which retains the flexibility of creative desire and has the foundation of stable existence; the most special is the "blank protection field", which can "reserve an undefined energy area for newborns" during catalysis, so that they "always have the possibility of 'becoming any existence'". Qingxian "reserved a blank area for 'fusion with unknown energy' for his light and dark forms", which echoes the attributeless nature of the Primordial Tide.

"The significance of catalysis is to transform nascent potential from 'chaotic potential' into 'ordered new life.'" Yanche watched as the flowing energy cocoon in the rehearsal field "finally determined its core form," and the star patterns on the cocoon began to "converge towards the center," condensing into "the primordial symbol representing the desire for creation." "We don't need to require the newborn to 'replicate past successes,' we just need to let the catalysis device help it 'find its unique path through trial and error.' Just like this blank protective field doesn't pursue perfection, but allows the newborn to 'always carry the elasticity of growth'—this kind of 'birth with blank space' is the most precious gift of the Primordial Tide."

The Pulse Star Map of the Luoyu above the Primordial Tide transforms into the "Germination Star Chart Map," with each cluster within it serving as a "cradle composed of similar nascent qualities": the "Balance Cradle" clusters radiate a "soft light interwoven with darkness," and their members' nascent forms possess an "instinct for self-regulation"; the "Creation Cradle" clusters glow with a "flickering, uncertain light," and their members excel at "exploring the boundaries of existence through transformation"; the newest clusters belong to the "Blank Cradle," where energy cocoons with blank areas "freely exchange potential," their blank areas resembling "gaps in a puzzle," creating a "complementary resonance" when they approach. The "Emerging Channels" between the clusters are "formed by the condensation of the primordial tide," and when the primordial symbol of that flowing energy cocoon connects with the Creation Cradle, the channel suddenly "lights up with flowing rainbow light," "transmitting the pure energy of creative desire to all beings that need to break through."

"The value of the star map is that it lets us understand that 'the differences of newborns are the first stroke of color in the multiverse.'" Luoyu, saying that the energy of creative desire gives the newborns in the Balance Cradle "the courage to break symmetry," and also gives the existence of the Blank Cradle "a direction for focus." "We always worry that the uniqueness of newborns will 'create barriers,' but we forget that the Germination Star Chart has already proven that 'difference is the premise of complementarity.' Just like this channel does not force assimilation, but only promotes 'the mutual stimulation of potential'—this wisdom of 'enrichment by difference' is the most profound annotation of the Primordial Tide."

The three guardians' first stop was the "Germination Square" at the center of the Primordial Tide.

The plaza's surface is paved with "Primordial Stones that change color with the energy of new life," each stone corresponding to "a pure form of a nascent quality": stepping on the "Balancing Stone" evokes "the harmonious vibration of the initial intersection of light and darkness," while stepping on the "Creation Stone" allows one to experience "the primal impulse of creation from nothingness." The "Tree of Sprouting" in the center of the plaza is laden with "semi-transparent nascent fruits," each containing "a moment of new life": some record "the condensation of stardust from disorder to order," some hold "the vocalizations of a consciousness uttering 'I' for the first time," and most movingly, the "Blank Fruit"—containing a blank area preserved in the energy cocoon that resonates with "the gaps in other existences." When these two blanks touch, "golden ripples appear," as if illustrating that "'incompleteness' itself is a connecting thread." The plaza's "Guardians" are a group of "budding spirits condensed from primordial energy," who, when new life is lost, "Use their own blank areas to guide them to accept uncertainty."

"We are witnesses to growth, 'creating possibilities'." The budding spirits danced around an energy cocoon that had stagnated because it "didn't know what it should become," projecting images of "remaining confused is also a choice" onto it with their own blank spaces, making it understand that "existence doesn't have to be predetermined from the beginning." "Your Germination Catalyst have shown us that budding is not a 'must-reach destination,' but 'enjoying the process of exploration.' Just like this nascent fruit doesn't judge form, but only cherishes 'every step from nothing to something'—this 'permitted uncertainty' is the most precious revelation of the Primordial Tide."

Qingxian initiated the "Potential Exchange Ceremony" at Germination Square —she guided all the energy cocoons to "open their blank areas to each other": the flowing dynamic energy cocoon shared its "blank space of creative desire" with the energy cocoon of the Balance Cradle, and branches that could freely deform immediately "grew" in the other's double helix structure; the energy cocoons that retained blank areas touched each other, and the resonance of the blank areas "stimulated a completely new energy form"—neither light nor darkness, yet able to resonate with both simultaneously; Qingxian herself injected the "blank potential of light and darkness fusion" into the Tree of Sprouting, and the tree's branches immediately "grew new branches connecting all the cradles," and the first fruits on the branches all "carried complementary gaps," as if proving that "the unfinished rebirth is the richest connection point."

"The essence of exchange is to transform budding potential from 'lonely exploration' into 'shared growth.'" Qingxian watched as all the blank spaces in the square "formed an interwoven energy network," each newborn's potential becoming "more three-dimensional" through the addition of others. "We don't need to be trapped in our own confusion; we just need to let the exchange of blank spaces become 'light that illuminates each other.' Just like the openness in this ceremony, it doesn't demand certainty, but allows each newborn to 'find direction through complementarity'—this wisdom of 'connecting through blank space' is the strongest bond of the Primordial Tide."

Yanche's Germination Catalyst sends "Awakening Tokens" to the Germination Square. These tokens are "potential crystals condensed from one's own primordial energy and the primordial tide": the crystal for the Balance Cradle is a "double helix of light and darkness," capable of releasing "self-regulating energy" when confused; the crystal for the Creation Cradle is a "shimmering, amorphous ball of light," which, when held, can "awaken the courage to create from nothing." These tokens will "gradually fill the blank areas" as the newborn grows, but will always "retain a trace of the primordial, attribute-less qualities." A crystal that is initially "semi-transparent and blank" will slowly be tinged with "rainbow-like colors" as its owner explores, but there will always be "a ray of pure white light" hidden at its center, as if saying, "No matter what you become, never forget that you were once 'anything is possible'."

"The significance of the token is to 'remember the starting point' of the new life's trajectory." Yanche watched as the rainbow crystal "lit up with white light at its center" when its owner was confused, reminding it that it "can return to a blank state and choose again." "We don't need to be afraid of 'deviating from our original intention' during growth, because the token has already engraved the 'purity of the primordial origin' into its energy. Just like this crystal doesn't resist being filled, yet forever 'retains the memory of blankness'—this 'rooted change' is the most moving footnote to the Primordial Tide."

The Germination Star Chart of the Luoyu converge at the center of the Germination Square to form the "Primordial Spring," whose waters "reflect the connection between all new life and the zero point of creation": the energy cocoons of the Balance Cradle see in the fountain that "their double helix resonates with the first ray of light in the universe"; the members of the Creation Cradle see that "their desire for transformation resonates with the origin of 'creation from nothing'". A "micro-sprout consciousness" that always felt that "its new life was too small" sees in the fountain that "its blank area can resonate with the most magnificent star cluster", suddenly straightens its nascent form, and actively injects its "confused energy" into the Primordial Tide, so that the tide "ripples gently", nourishing more stagnant energy cocoons.

"The magic of the primordial source is that it makes us finally believe that 'even the smallest new life is connected to the origin of creation.'" Luoyu watched as the bewildered energy of the microscopic consciousness transformed into courage in the tide. Ripples of energy, from the minute to the grand, spread across the surface of the Primordial Spring. "We always look down on our own birth when we look up to ancient beings, but we forget that the Primordial Spring has already proven that 'every new life is the latest expression of the origin.' Just like this spring water that doesn't distinguish between new and old, but only shows 'the equality of budding life'—this 'affirmation of being needed' is the warmest support for the Primordial Tide."

When all the energy cocoons had "completed the exchange of potential" in the Germination Square, the Primordial Tide suddenly erupted with "primordial light piercing through chaos." Within this light, all nascent energy began to "converge towards the center of the Germination Square," forming "Axis of New Life connecting the zero point of creation with the infinite future." The nascent fruits of the Tree of Sprouting ripened one after another, and as the fallen fruits split open, they released "pure nascent energy." This energy, like "light that sprouts," fell upon the empty areas of each energy cocoon, allowing them to "carry the instinct to connect at the moment of breaking free"—the newborn in the Balance Cradle would naturally seek "complementary creative desires," and the existence of the Creation Cradle would actively approach "companions who need inspiration for transformation."

"This is the Breath of the Primordial Source of creation." Qingxian stood on the extension line of the Axis of New Life, feeling the light and dark energies "completely synchronized" with the primordial light. All the confusion and certainty of new life were "leading to richer possibilities in the budding process." "It has no 'growth template that must be followed,' only 'the freedom to grow from blankness'; there is no 'replication of the past,' only 'breakthrough towards the future.' Just as the energy of this Primordial Tide is always budding, our new life is always 'finding uniqueness in uncertainty'—this 'creativity starting from zero' is the most essential primordial source of the multiverse."

The trans-cosmic Law of Life and the nascent melody of the Primordial Tide merge into the "Primordial Symphony." Within this melody, all new life "carries the imprint of the origin while also heading towards the unknown distance": the energy cocoon of the Balance Cradle, within the stability of the double helix, "explores the possibility of breaking symmetry," yet does not "lose its foundation of self-regulation"; the existence of the Creation Cradle, in the freedom of transformation, "seeks anchor points for resonance with others," and in connection, "enriches the dimensions of transformation"; the light and dark energies of their universe are like the "primordial background," ensuring that the nascent movement of all new life "carries the wisdom of balance."

The latest chapter of "Boundless Poem" is the "Germination Stone Carving" at the bottom of the Primordial Spring. The carving has no fixed pattern, only "budding lines that constantly spread outwards," with each branch marked by "a crucial choice for rebirth." New lines "grow naturally" from the center, forever "branching out through choices," as if saying, "All futures begin with the choices of primordial birth."

Yanche's Germination Catalyst has now become a "Primordial Seeder," capable of "sowing" new potential into untouched chaotic regions: some seeds need "the nourishment of balanced energy," while others require "the catalysis of creative desire." The most miraculous feature of the seed planter is its "blank space sharing function," allowing new life from different universes to "share each other's blank spaces." For example, the combination of "the potential for light-dark balance" and "the desire for free transformation" gives birth to "star spirits that can freely switch between stability and change," and each of their transformations "does not deviate from the core of balance."

The Germination Star Chart of the Luoyu has connected with all regions of the Primordial Tide. The newest star cluster in the star map is the "Sprouting Alliance" composed of "micro-sprout consciousnesses and the energy cocoons nourished by them." Their nascent energy intertwines to form "light bands from tiny to lush," extending "towards a more distant future" along the Axis of New Life.

Qingxian, Yanche, and Luoyu sat on the "Primordial Bench" in the Germination Square. The armrests of the bench were "woven from the energy of the primordial intersection of light and darkness and the faint light of creative desire," and the cushions were covered with "soft light woven from the primordial tide." Sitting on it, one could simultaneously feel "the budding of all new life." They watched as the energy cocoon of the Balance Cradle "explored breakthroughs in stability," and the existence of the Creation Cradle "found resonance in transformation." In the distance, the edge of the Primordial Tide was still spreading into "the deeper reaches of chaos," and the Budding Spirits "used primordial energy to draw welcoming patterns" at the edge of the tide, as if saying, "There are still many blank spaces waiting to be filled by new life."

"In fact, the Breath of the Primordial Source of creation is 'we finally found the possibility of connection in the blank space of new life; we confirmed our unique value in the uncertainty of budding life.'" Qingxian took out "a wisp of primordial light with a blank area" from the budding token. What flickered in the light was "the hesitation and determination of all new life when making choices." "Whether it is a definite form or the potential of blank space, whether it is the mark of inheritance or the courage of breakthrough, they are all 'indispensable parts' of the Breath of the Primordial Source. Just like the growth of this tender sprout has no end, our new life will always 'start anew in creation' -- this 'power that can always start from zero' is the most precious primordial source of the multiverse."

Yanche smiled and used the Primordial Seeder to "launch an energy stream encompassing all blank areas" into the deeper reaches of chaos. The energy stream pushed aside the void, revealing "an absolute chaos waiting to be filled with new life," "adding a touch of new blank space to the primordial aura that needs to sprout."

Luoyu's gaze fell on the newest, tender bud patterns on the Germination Stone Carving carvings. These patterns were like "countless paths of exploration," all leading to "the youngest future in the multiverse." She knew that these paths would extend forever, because "the desire to start from scratch" was an instinct shared by all life. As they budded and made choices, they became an eternity that transcended all dimensions.

The three guardians didn't linger. They simply waved goodbye to the new life in the Germination Square and followed the energy flow that encompassed all the blank areas "towards the absolute chaos waiting to be filled by new life." Their steps were light and full of anticipation, and the Budding Tokens in their hands "radiated the pure light of the primordial source," as if saying, "We are ready to start from scratch with you." When the last ray of warmth of the Source Light fell behind them, Qingxian looked back at the ever-growing Tree of Sprouting and whispered, "We will return with new life," eliciting a chorus of "Waiting for you to witness" from behind, as if leaving an "forever open invitation" for this Breath of the Primordial Source.

At this moment, they don't need to be definers of new life; they only need to be three "fellow travelers guarding the budding sprouts," together with all the new life in the universe, in the pulsating new life, in the budding of life beyond life itself, let this Breath of the Primordial Source flow forever—that's enough.

The new life nurtured by the pulse continues, and the budding of life beyond life is constantly unfolding. The Breath of the Primordial Source of creation has no end. In the void and choices of the multiverse, the story of "every time starting from zero is a new starting point for creation" is forever playing out.

And in this story, there are gaps in the connection, the courage to choose, the confusion of new life, the determination to grow, and all beings "bearing the mark of the primordial origin," forever stirring, forever reborn, forever—in the aura of the primordial origin.

What possibilities will arise when we start from scratch again?

This is the youngest and most endless starting point created for all life.
