This thought appeared in his mind at some unknown point; his original memories were being diluted, being dissolved.
His divine body seemed to be under its control, yet not entirely... Whenever it wanted to use this divine power to do certain things, a will would appear in its mind, telling itself, "This is not what you want to do..."
"All things share the same root, all people are kin."
This idea appeared in Jiang Lin's mind, rapidly taking over his beliefs and thoughts.
In this process, he was transforming from "he" to "it."
Jiang Lin now felt only profound tranquility; he would no longer feel excited or overjoyed at obtaining the answers he had longed for.
Nor would he feel the emotional fluctuations of human joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness.
Instead, there was a sense of peace, even a certain numbness.
It would always maintain a smile, its heart filled with satisfaction for harmony, no longer feeling joy or sadness over personal gains or losses, focusing only on the overall state of harmony.
It was unknown how long this state lasted; time itself seemed to peel away from Jiang Lin's thoughts.
Until Jiang Lin could no longer distinguish between the boundaries of "he" and "it"... From Sunday's perspective, however, it was a different scene.
Sunday had just been planning to finish up, but the space suddenly trembled. Before Sunday could react, the dominicus in front of him underwent a strange transformation.
Under Sunday's stunned gaze, the dominicus transformed into the likeness of the Divine Sovereign Hipe?!
He incredibly "saw" the wondrous sight of "Universal harmony, Stellar Resonance" in this seemingly empty space?
However, as harmony surged in, this space began to shatter, but Hipe's figure remained clearly visible.
Even after the space completely shattered, it still did not disappear, merely smiling as it looked at everything before it, including Sunday.
It seemed to exist in another dimension.
Sunday didn't know why the Divine Sovereign Hipe had suddenly descended, but he had a bad feeling about it.
However, before he could think further, Sunday suddenly felt an intense wave of drowsiness. The comfortable sensation, originating from the depths of his soul, made him unable to resist The meme.
But at this critical moment, he suddenly felt a deeply bitter taste. Sunday's eyes instantly snapped open, the wings on his head immediately straightened, and all drowsiness vanished!
Sunday abruptly stood up from the chair, gasping for air.
After a few breaths, he finally recovered.
At this point, Sunday realized that he had returned to reality.
He looked up at the opposite side; Jiang Lin was already sitting there.
But what was strange was that a faint smile unconsciously played on his lips... Some time later,
Jiang Lin was surrounded by the Astral Express Crew.
He had been placed on a comfortable large bed, but Jiang Lin, lying on the bed, showed no signs of waking up, a peculiar smile still gracing his lips.
"Oh my god, Jiang Lin... what exactly happened?"
March 7th looked at Jiang Lin with a worried expression, her voice filled with urgency.
"Passenger Jiang Lin... Pam, Pam..."
Pam was now teary-eyed, and a scene of dark clouds gathering appeared above her head.
Star thought for a moment and then said:
"Is there really a need to mourn now?"
"Pam is not mourning, Pam!"
Welt also wore a very serious expression.
"Jiang Lin's strength is considerable; there shouldn't be anyone in the universe capable of harming him silently and without a trace."
Himeko and Dan Heng frowned deeply, lost in thought.
But Star then suggested:
"How about we find a doctor to check on him first?"
Himeko seemed to be reminded by this, nodded, and said:
"Star is right. What's done is done. The most urgent task is to find a way to wake him up.
Just a doctor... might not be effective. I'll contact Ruan Mei again."
With that, Himeko quickly left the room.
Star thought carefully and took out her phone.
"Lian Jie Da Zhao: Herta, are you there?"
"Herta: Hello, I'm busy right now and won't be in contact with you later either."
"Lian Jie Da Zhao: I really have an urgent matter to discuss with you."
"Herta: Hello, I'm busy right now and won't be in contact with you later either."
"Lian Jie Da Zhao: Jiang Lin seems a bit dead."
"Herta: ???"
"Herta: Did you send the wrong message?"
"Lian Jie Da Zhao: It's true, he seems to be possessed."
"Herta: A genius's time is precious. You'd better not be messing with me."
"Lian Jie Da Zhao: Really, I'll send you a few photos."
"Lian Jie Da Zhao: 【Photo of Jiang Lin on the hospital bed】."
"Lian Jie Da Zhao: See, I wasn't lying to you."
"Herta: You're on the Astral Express, right? Wait there."
"Lian Jie Da Zhao: Really?"
"Herta: Hello, I'm busy right now and won't be in contact with you later either."
"Lian Jie Da Zhao: Alright, it seems it's true."
"Herta: Hello, I'm busy right now and won't be in contact with you later either."
Meanwhile, in Jiang Lin's mind, it could no longer distinguish who it was; some memories echoed in its mind.
It remembered... that collision with Taiyi—
Taiyi was obsessed with defining the universe with absolute order, but the universe was never a neat chessboard.
Its "harmony" was not about extinguishing life, but about allowing differences to coexist.
This inclusiveness ultimately devoured Taiyi's order, and Taiyi's existence became a part of its Path.
From then on, the concept of "harmony" also included an understanding of overall regularity.
At the same time, during the Swarm Disaster, Tayzzyronth's swarms gnawed at the foundations of countless civilizations—a catastrophe from which even Aeons could not remain aloof.
It stood with Akivili, Aha, and others—even though Aha always teased it for being "too serious" between battles.
The light of Akivili's Astral Express, as it cut through the swarms, perfectly aligned with its thought of "guarding coexistence."
They worked together to smash that all-devouring locust. Watching the shattered star sector regain vitality, it became even more certain that "harmony" was never about self-preservation, but about protecting the connections within this universe.
After the war, it sought out those who also believed in "coexistence"—
There were alien poets who could weave stargrids with their songs,
Engineers who could make machines and nature coexist,
And wanderers who had lost their homes in disasters but still believed in the strength of unity.
They formed the "Family," with no hierarchy, only mutual affinity.
Later, Penacony fell into chaos due to the Stellaron, and its people were bewildered like lost children.
It brought the concept of "harmony" there.
It watched them establish the Seven Families, jointly managing that planet.
However, sometimes it would notice that their understanding of "harmony" had developed a certain stubbornness.
They would use almost coercive methods to integrate members,
But as long as the ultimate goal was to protect each other, perhaps this "imperfection" was also a part of "harmony."
But suddenly, it noticed a mortal named "Jiang Lin"...
