Chapter 27: The Birth of the Originless Genesis Flame Part 2: The Reconstruction of the Originless Flame The Refining Sanctuary remained silent. For seven days... Adrian had not taken a single step outside. The world below continued moving normally. But above the sea of clouds... A transformation beyond human understanding was quietly taking place. Inside the sanctuary. The Origin Furnace floated in the center of the chamber. Its ancient surface was covered with countless formation patterns. Every formation was connected to another. Every energy flow was controlled with absolute precision. Before the furnace... Adrian stood calmly. His gaze was fixed on the flame floating before him. The Originless Immortal Core Flame. It was the first flame he created after regaining Aetherion's memories. It had helped him refine countless materials. It had protected him during battles. It had become a part of his path. But now... It was no longer enough. Not because it was weak. But because Adrian's path had already surpassed its original foundation. "The flame that follows my old path..." Adrian whispered. "Cannot support the creations of my new path." He slowly raised his hand. The Originless Path began flowing. The flame reacted immediately. However... Adrian did not destroy it. A true creator did not simply discard the foundation of the past. He improved it. The first step... Was understanding. Adrian closed his eyes. His spiritual sense entered the flame. He observed every structure. Every energy circulation. Every hidden principle contained within it. The flame was connected to his cultivation. His origin. His understanding of power. But it lacked one thing. A foundation for creation. The flame was powerful enough to destroy enemies. Powerful enough to refine precious materials. But it was not yet capable of supporting the birth of independent existences. That was the difference between a weapon maker... And a creator. Adrian opened his eyes. "The foundation must change." He placed the flame into the Origin Furnace. The moment the flame entered... The entire Refining Sanctuary trembled. Countless formations activated. Energy Isolation Array. Origin Stabilization Array. Soul Protection Array. Spatial Reinforcement Array. One after another... The formations protected the entire chamber. Because this process was not ordinary refinement. He was refining a flame itself. Outside the Ark... The Originless Heaven Ark continued absorbing the essence of the universe. Since its creation... The Ark had automatically absorbed Sun Essence, Moon Essence, and Star Essence. Those energies had slowly changed its structure. It became more durable. Its internal formations became stronger. Its ability to traverse space became faster and more stable. Now... Those accumulated energies began flowing toward the Refining Sanctuary. The Ark responded to Adrian's creation. Inside the furnace... The old flame began breaking down. Not disappearing. Changing. The violent energy became calm. The unstable parts were removed. The incomplete structures were rebuilt. Adrian controlled every step. A single mistake... Could damage the foundation of the flame forever. Hours passed. Then days. The flame inside the Origin Furnace slowly became smaller. Its previous appearance disappeared. The familiar flame was no longer visible. Only a small sphere of pure energy remained. Adrian looked at it quietly. This was not failure. This was rebirth. The old flame had reached the end of its journey. Now... A new existence was waiting to be born. Adrian extended his hand. The Origin Furnace responded. The entire Refining Sanctuary became brighter. But the transformation was not complete yet. The final step... Had not begun. Adrian looked at the small sphere inside the furnace. "Before becoming a new flame..." "You must first understand your origin." The sphere slowly pulsed. A new beginning was approaching. But not today. The birth of the Originless Genesis Flame... Had only just started.
