Beyond the Original Aspiration Light Band

The Light of Original Aspiration of the Core of Chaos flowed along the band of light, like a silver river, traversing the star clusters of Myriad Domains, finally settling at the edge of a domain that even "chaos" could not define. Here, there were no energy fluctuations, no spatial coordinates, not even the boundary between "existence" and "non-existence" —Qingxian, Yanche, Luoyu stood at the end of the band of light, able to clearly "perceive" the "existence" ahead, yet unable to describe it with any known laws, as if it were "a blank space beyond all cognition."

The interplay of light and darkness in the Qingxian, along with the Light of Original Aspiration, drew a faint arc at the edge of this "Realm of No Domain." Where the arc touched, countless overlapping shadows suddenly appeared—projections of all possibilities from Myriad Domains: the structures of the Realm of Primordial Beginning presented "evolutionary directions never chosen," the reverse laws of the mirror bodies transformed into "positive gentleness," and even the solidified statues of the Domain of Silence "ran freely" within the shadows. When she reached out to touch the shadows, her fingertips felt a "familiar yet unfamiliar temperature," like touching "the most primal imagination of existence."

"The Realm of No Domain is not the end, but a 'canvas of all possibilities.'" Qingxian watched her shadow constantly shift on the canvas, sometimes transforming into the aurora borealis of the Realm of Taiji, sometimes merging into the void of the Realm of Taisu, yet always carrying the "underlying color of light and darkness." She suddenly understood that the meaning of the Original Aspiration Light Band intention was not "arrival," but "allowing existence to dare to 'imagine itself' in the unknown"—like a child doodling on a blank sheet of paper, not worrying about right or wrong, but simply enjoying the "joy of creation."

As Yanche's creative relaxation merged into the Realm of No Domain, the shadows on the canvas began to "spontaneously combine": the precise lines of the Domain of Order intertwined with the patchwork patterns of the Domain of Shattering, forming "new patterns that are both regular and dynamic"; the tender shoots of the Field of Sprouting Entanglement with the primal energy of the Core of Chaos, growing into "strange trees bearing the imprint of the original intention"; most wondrously, the energy purified by the "Forgetting Crystal" transformed here into "transparent paint," allowing all patterns to "permeate each other without losing their essence."

"The ultimate freedom of creation is 'not even having to follow the rules on the canvas.'" Yanche looked at a strange tree that "simultaneously bore Primordial Beginning fruits and mirror flowers." The fruits contained "unrealized creative ideas," while the petals were filled with "forgotten yet precious memories." He simply transformed his true core into "an invisible pen," allowing the shadows to "write with the pen." As a result, "a winged Harmonizing Instrument" appeared on the canvas, capable of both dismantling laws and weaving dreams, like "a symbiosis of creation and imagination."

The connecting threads of the Luoyu weave a "transparent net" in the sky above the Realm of No Domain. The meshes vary in size, yet they "filter out" all "deliberate connections," leaving only "natural resonance." A melody of light from the Realm of Sound encounters the "blank energy" of the Realm of No Domain through the meshes, spontaneously composing a "song without frequency"—a song without sound, yet capable of quieting all shadows, as if listening to "the voice of one's own heart." A hue from the Realm of Emotion resonates with the blank space on the canvas, creating a "gentleness that even language cannot describe."

"The deepest connection is 'reflecting each other without having to deliberately get close.'" Luoyu watched the moments of resonance flashing through the mesh and suddenly understood that the "boundless" in the Realm of No Domain didn't mean "no domains," but rather that "all domains can 'set aside their identities' here and simply 'resonate as existences.'" It's like different musical instruments emitting their most authentic timbres in silence, unexpectedly forming a "harmonious symphony."

As the three guardians stepped into the "Imagination Square" of the Realm of No Domain, the canvas beneath their feet suddenly "came to life"—with each step, "flowers and grasses bearing the patterns of primordial intentions" sprouted, and within the dewdrops on these flowers and grasses lay "the Myriad Domains monologues of all existence": some wrote "I want to see the sun," some were engraved "I want to talk to someone," and some depicted "a vague image of what I want to become." The "Tree of Imagination" in the center of the plaza had no fixed form; its trunk was "the overlap of all shadows," its branches and leaves were "unspoken desires," and its fruit was "transparent possibilities."

"This is 'a place where people dare to dream.'" A group of "Imagination Spirits," formed from the energy of the Realm of No Domain, surrounded them. Their form was "flowing imagination," capable of changing with the thoughts of each being. "Your Original Aspiration Light Band are not keys, but the courage to 'open ourselves up'—like children in the dark, who dare to speak their secrets because they know there is light in the distance."

Qingxian initiated the "Dance of Imagination" in the Imagination Square, inviting all shadows and beings to "dance out their most desired form." Amazingly, when the shadows of the Realm of Primordial Beginning danced "a dance that does not follow beginnings and ends," flowers "simultaneously experiencing beginnings and ends" sprouted on the canvas of the Realm of No Domain; when the shadows of mirror bodies no longer rotated in reverse but "stretched freely," the surrounding blank energy began to "replicate this freedom," allowing more shadows to dare to "break the trajectory of habit."

"The power of imagination is to 'make the impossible possible in your mind first.'" Qingxian watched her shadow dance with the energy of light and darkness, leaving a "new mark of light and darkness as one" on the canvas—a mark without the opposition of the past, only "a gentle nourishment between them." And when she infused the mark into the Tree of Imagination, countless new forms of light and darkness coexisting immediately blossomed on the branches, as if proving that "imagination can give birth to reality."

After Yanche's "Invisible Pen" connected with the Tree of Imagination, the transparent fruits on the tree began to "manifest concrete forms": some became "bridges that can traverse all realms," some transformed into "containers that ensure the original aspiration never fades," and some were even "stones that 'do nothing,' yet engraved on them the original aspiration that 'existence itself is meaning.'" He discovered that when he stopped focusing on "creating useful things," he could instead create "existence that touches the soul."

"The most precious creation is 'allowing oneself to dream useless dreams.'" Yanche watched as the stone was held in the arms of a structure "always anxious about not being useful enough." The other's shadow, reflected in the stone, gradually became "peaceful and firm," as if finally understanding that "existence doesn't need to prove its value to anyone." Because of this scene, the Tree of Imagination bore "countless stones of different shapes," each engraved with the gentle sentiment, "'You are very good.'"

The transparent net of Luoyu transformed into a "Cloud of Resonance" above the Imagination Square. Wherever the cloud drifted, all shadows and the original intentions of existence trembled gently: a shadow from the Domain of Order, beneath the cloud, for the first time "admitted that it wanted to 'make mistakes occasionally,'" and a "beautiful trajectory with deviations" immediately appeared on the canvas; a new form from the Domain of Shattering finally "expressed its desire to be 'fully accepted,'" and the surrounding shadows drew closer to it, forming a "mutually supportive embrace."

"The ultimate resonance is 'daring to speak of vulnerability, and daring to accept vulnerability.'" Luoyu watched as the Cloud of Resonance brought down "gentle rain," which fell on the canvas and blurred the "original puzzle of the existence of Myriad Domains"—each piece was imperfect, but when pieced together, it presented "a picture more moving than any complete one." She drew this puzzle on a new page of "Boundless Poem," with no words beside it, only a heart-shaped symbol.

When the "Dance of Imagination" reaches its freest moment, the canvas of the Realm of No Domain suddenly "extends infinitely," encompassing all domains of the Myriad Domains —the constant evolution of the Realm of Primordial Beginning overlaps with the Boundless Imagination on the canvas, the precise trajectory of the Domain of Order incorporates the "elasticity of imagination," and the primordial energy of the Core of Chaos transforms into the "background color of the canvas," allowing all existence to freely traverse between "original intention and imagination."

The branches of the Tree of Imagination extend to every corner of the canvas, and the possibilities within its fruits constantly manifest, no longer limited to "new forms," but more about "new relationships": reality and reflection are no longer opposites, but "partners who complement each other"; the ancient and the new are no longer separated, but "friends who listen to each other"; even "existence" and "non-existence" "gently brush past each other" on the canvas, leaving the mark of "'I remember you'".

Qingxian, Yanche, and Luoyu sat on the "Imagination Bench" in the Imagination Square. The bench was a condensation of the original intentions and imaginations of all existence, sometimes transforming into a "stone bench in the Realm of Primordial Beginning," sometimes into a "floating chair in the Mirror World," and sometimes simply "a soft cloud." They watched as the beings of Myriad Domains freely imagined on the canvas, watching new possibilities constantly emerge. Their hearts were no longer filled with the pursuit of the "ultimate," but only with "gratitude for 'imagination itself'."

"Perhaps the meaning of existence is to 'always have the courage to imagine'." Qingxian's light and dark energy completely merged with the canvas of the Realm of No Domain. Her shadow intertwined with the shadows of countless other beings on the canvas, yet she always carried the "original intention of light and darkness encompassing all."

Yanche's Invisible Pen had long been entrusted to all beings; at this moment, he was merely "watching"—watching the children draw "strange laws" with their pure hearts, watching the elders relive "dreams of their youth" through imagination, watching every being "creating their own little beauties."

Luoyu's "Boundless Poem" has merged with the canvas of the Realm of No Domain, becoming "the vessel of all imagination." She knows that as long as imagination exists, the poems will continue to be written forever, and the best ending is "no ending."

In the distance, at the end of the Original Aspiration Light Band, a new shadow emerges on the canvas—it is the first time that the "unawakened chaos" "imagines itself," still blurry, yet carrying the courage of "'I want to try.'"

Qingxian, Yanche, Luoyu exchanged a smile, without getting up, but simply letting their shadows "gently wave" to the new shadows.

The journey of imagination never ends. As long as the initial aspiration remains, as long as we dare to dream, the Realm of No Domain canvas will always be open to existence, and the light born in imagination will ultimately illuminate more "unknown distances."

The miracle of existence is simply that "someone dares to dream, some dares to believe, and some dares to plant dreams in reality"—and that is enough.
