Beneath the vast and ethereal starry sky, Caroline clearly felt the world changing. Her own life suddenly slowed, flowing at a strange, leisurely pace. Meanwhile, distant trees, living beings, the starry sky, white clouds, sand, and the breeze made her feel detached and unfamiliar, as if the entire world had instantaneously pierced into another dimension.

“Is that… within the long river of time… a figure implicitly governing a coalesced phenomenon of law… the Creator God?” Caroline stood in a daze. This sensation was as if they had originally soared together within the same river of time, but then were suddenly separated. She and the trees, and the treants, transformed into two distinct rivers of time flow, gazing at each other. “This power… it's even stronger than a ninth-tier phenomenon of law.” She gazed at that towering, luminous, indistinct giant figure standing there, twisting space-time. Although she knew that not trying to understand was best when it was incomprehensible, in that instant, something filled, pressed, and squeezed her heart, making it difficult to breathe. An nameless fear seemed to make her entire body convulse.

Whoosh! In the distance, the giant gently extended a hand and gestured. Clouds unfurled and dissipated. An invisible force vibrated, sweeping across the land. Boom!! On the entire ocher-colored planet, a thunderous roar broke the sound barrier. The life on the land seemed to accelerate instantly; lush, vacuum-dwelling ancient star trees grew, flourished, withered, and died at a visible pace. New seeds sprouted. Emerald shoots emerged. Older trees transitioned from their prime to decay. Birth, aging, sickness, and death rapidly alternated. It was like an accelerated nature documentary. What should have been tens of thousands of years of profound transformation, where seas turn into mulberry fields, evolved at a visible speed... The trees, like the treants, began to compete and evolve rapidly. It was breathtakingly beautiful, exuding an infinite, mysterious, and ancient beauty. Ten thousand years of time were condensed into mere moments!

“This is the mighty power of time… It’s so beautiful, truly magnificent; nothing is more beautiful than time, it is an omnipotent force!” Caroline murmured, looking up at the vast, mysterious, towering giant moving over the mountains and plains. Her clear, wine-red eyes were hazy, revealing a youthful, slightly drunken flush. Indeed, she felt almost intoxicated. The Ishtar people were passionate about beautiful things, and before her, she was utterly captivated. Gazing at the splendid, verdant earth, a grand scroll of natural evolution unfolded, immersing her in this unique ocean of time. She couldn't discern if she was enchanted by the awe-inspiring flow of time, by the presence of the Creator God, or by the sheer aesthetic beauty of the trees' frenzied evolution.

She clearly felt the trees differentiating. Some grew taller and more luxuriant, while others became shorter, evolving towards wild grasses and flowers. Some vaguely resembled vines. The treants were likewise differentiating, developing evolutionary branching points: toes, claws, fur. “This is the sight of ten thousand years of evolution. It’s condensed before my eyes, but it should inherently exist in a more distant time and space beyond my reach. Life after generation is born and then withers, branching out across the vastness of time, enriching the abundance of species. Over the long ages, it’s like a tree of evolution, rapidly bifurcating, sprouting vibrant new branches, and blooming into magnificent summer flowers. All life is thus… this is the essence of evolution.” Facing this supreme, unparalleled, singular existence, she suddenly felt an urge to prostrate herself in worship. She murmured hoarsely, “And I am one of them. Our civilization is merely a branch on humanity’s tree of evolution, a flower that has bloomed, named Ishtar… We, too, will wither.” “Is this it?” she mused aloud, her face glowing with the afterglow of a pilgrim, having witnessed the ultimate nature of all things, the miracle of life.

Within her spiritual universe, a distant, ancient lava continent planet slowly floated. In a protruding stronghold, embedded within a virtual starry sky and bearing the strong traces of fantastical technology, Hailan Dong and others in the research laboratory had agitated, flushed faces... The Creator God, filling and repairing the world's flaws – these terms completely overturned their lifelong beliefs. “Is this the world’s hidden law?” Their expressions were no longer calm. The Ishtar people, who called themselves a divine race, had, after the 'Grim Reaper' gained eternal life, managed a universe's data and laws, possessed the divine power to glimpse a corner of the future, and harbored immense arrogance, yet they still descended into madness. That colossal, forbidden existence, transcending all, like the sole supreme ruler of the endless universe, appeared in their perception, brutally crushing their pride, passion, and romantic ideals into a ball, leaving their hearts incredibly complex. “Analyzing.” “Collecting data!” “Abnormal life phenomenon, unknown cell division rate detected!” “Life cycles drastically shortened!” “Evolution! Incredible! They are evolving madly!”

Compared to the frenzied scientists, Hailan Dong's expression was much calmer. For him, seeing these arrogant Ishtar people humbled was an amusing spectacle. He stood calmly, gazing at the data screen projected from outside, his voice somewhat hoarse, “What incredible luck it is; surely very few people can witness this scene? Perhaps, my life isn't so bad either. Back then, I led the Sea Race in a betting agreement and lost to the Ishtar people. But perhaps encountering continuous great taboos, the truth of the world, isn't a bad thing at all. On the contrary, I feel content.” In this moment, he too was almost entranced by the magnificent feast of evolution. He couldn't help but exclaim with emotion, “Caroline, I suddenly understand you a little. I shouldn't dwell on my husband's death. The path of life isn't solely about love; that's not all there is to a person. Beyond that, there is so much more to life. This path is filled with magnificent, unknown landscapes.”

In the distance, walking on the ocher planet, standing upon the mountains, the colossal giant gently gestured. Rumble! The earth shifted, trembled, uplifted; seas transformed into mulberry fields. All life on the land continued to rapidly evolve and transform. As plants and animals rapidly evolved, with birth and death alternating, they also imperceptibly and swiftly reshaped the entire landscape! At this moment, time had lost its inherent quality as a unit of measurement. Had a moment passed? Had ten thousand years passed? Or was it… just 0.01 seconds? No one knew. In this world where the Creator God had descended, time was being passively, intensely, and forcibly warped… and its units of measurement were utterly meaningless at this point. Yet that figure, amidst this unknown distorted time, slowly turned and departed, vanishing into distant space-time.
