The sound of shattering echoed.

Within the seal of the Border Prison and Elysium, there was devastation everywhere, countless sharp crystals crisscrossing, extending from the earth and sky, permeating every fracture.

The only thing intact was Ji Jue's petrified remains.

Drip—

Thick blood slowly seeped from the cracks in the arm, fell to the ground, and pooled into a puddle of blood. Yet, there was no crimson, only traces of fluorescence, quickly solidifying like dissolved crystals.

Boom!

The Ruins Fist arrived once again, shattering the old face to powder, body and all, grinding it to Dust.

Yet, under the trinity link, the elder Wen Sheng swiftly resurrected, a flick of a finger, and Wen Wen was sent flying, falling to the ground, the cracks on her body spreading once more.

"I originally thought you would be the strongest among all.

Thus, I envied, feared, hesitated, tossed and turned, sleepless at night. But I never thought you'd fall to such a wretched state, almost like a…"

Wen Sheng gazed at her figure, lightly sighed:

"Clown!"

Amidst the three shifting figures, the Demon of the Abyss, Unending Evil, and Polluted Demon, three distinct auras surged forth with each transformation, flowing endlessly.

Facing Wen Wen's swinging fist, he raised a finger lightly, stopping her: "Solid Rock, immovable for eternity... Even after embracing the Essence of Ruins, why so fragile?"

Boom!

Amidst a loud noise, the sound of crystal shattering echoed.

The left arm, pushed to the brink, snapped at the elbow, collapsing!

But within the break, there was no flesh, only sharp edges like gemstones.

Wen Wen, indifferent and silent, seemed incapable of feeling pain. She simply clenched her remaining right fist once more, standing firm before Ji Jue.

Unwavering.

"I see."

Wen Sheng sighed in sudden realization, mocking laughter: "You never told him, did you?

Why you appeared in this Dream of Ascension, why the Ruins, embodied in matter, would be captured and bound by this illusion?"

If pure iron and stone, how could you be attracted by dreams?

How could the Ruins, insulated from fantasy, be captured by illusions?

If Ji Jue was an unexpected intruder, how could the Ruins Chosen One, isolated from Ascension and the Heart Core, appear here?

All along, Ji Jue was misled by Wen Wen's calm façade, never considering… or rather, unable to imagine, the answer she kept hidden.

The seemingly eternal Solid Rock was already full of cracks.

And Wen Wen, who resisted dream erosion, was herself a severe dream-loss infection case!

"A monster like you, hiding claws, disguising essence, denying nature, futilely delaying the inevitable, so much so that the soul and matter nearly completely sever… ha, hahaha, hahaha!"

Wen Sheng couldn't help laughing wildly, bending forward and backward: "After wearing the mask so long, even you were fooled, Wen Wen?"

Father had slaughtered all Stone Clan beneath the Vortex, desecrated the Holy Altar, destroyed Dragon remains, thoroughly searched, and finally, cultivated the seed of primordial matter from his own blood.

In the end, he created the monster before him.

All this time, Wen Zheng poured countless effort and love, hoping she would surpass him… yet never anticipated Wen Wen's rebellion.

Clearly born inseparably linked with the Vortex, yet she turned away. Clearly capable of becoming the Heavenly People, transforming into a Heavenly Calamity, forming a worldly bane, yet she wrapped herself in a cocoon.

The so-called [Minerva], rather than an auxiliary Matrix, was more of a precisely chosen shackle, opposing her nature!

Why need Static? Where's the need for eternity?

Clearly merely breathing would naturally invoke disasters, storms, thunders, droughts, even floods, were trivial.

This pure Essence of Ruins, merely existing, naturally attracted the germination and aggregation of Heavenly Calamities within a hundred thousand miles.

Like matter aggregating under gravity.

Even, growing to a certain level, able to connect through the Vortex, using herself as a fulcrum, casting the world beneath the Vortex into the present.

Becoming a Heavenly Calamity bestowed with life.

Such terrifying talent, yet sealed with Static and Eternity by the same Ruins' Minerva, like a stone blocking a volcano's vent.

Seemingly towering, yet fragile and easily shattered upon touch.

Day after day of suppression and obstruction, futile delays, even if it meant becoming a lab specimen, she was determined to erase her foundational existence completely.

So much so, self-inflicted, self-suffering.

Ultimately, falling to such a ludicrous state.

Like a consciousness adrift on water, a soul likened to a flower on stone…

Amidst endless contradictions, the Solid Rock self-annihilates, eternity collapses, when they can no longer reconcile, then Object Spirit and soul split, unable to coexist!

Just thinking about it made Wen Sheng laugh uncontrollably, tears nearly flowing.

Not only mocking Wen Wen, but unable to help, mocking himself.

He had exhausted everything, nearly burning all hatred and obsession, died and resurrected, only to realize the adversary he desired to defeat was this?

Too absurd, too laughable.

Boom!

The smiling face shattered.
