Bai Xue burns within the Flames.
The Stars fall to the ocean floor.
The heavens and earth invert, sun and moon share the sky.
— A civilization destined to perish a millennium ago, lifted by the Deities, soars towards the next eternal river of Time.
Like stars breaking free from their bonds, apples shedding the pull of gravity, freedom unshackled from the chains of earth. As the Deity's white tendrils rise, the Life Hard Drive radiates a brilliance unseen for a thousand years.
"Boom—!"
In the moment the Deity hoists the Sword of Destiny, illusion and reality collide.
Ten thousand worldlines feel the arrival of this moment.
Some raise their heads from fields, some pray in temples, some pick up shattered torches, some gaze towards the sea.
The unending history reflected in their pupils, like burning kindling.
They collectively perceive—this critical point's arrival.
