The Call of Humanity, the Regression of Consciousness

Lin Chen's consciousness shook violently, as if the very laws of the universe had completely collapsed in that instant. Her mind was enveloped by an indescribable force, weighing down her, making it nearly impossible to breathe. That force came not only from without, but also from a long-forgotten part of her heart. Like a dormant dragon, it suddenly awakened, tearing through the void within her heart and summoning a forgotten memory.

"What the hell is this?" Lin Chen's heart trembled violently, her consciousness spiraling through the boundless depths of the universe, rapidly sinking. Emotions she had thought long gone flooded into her heart like a tide. She had thought herself beyond all emotion, beyond the constraints of time and space, but now, she suddenly felt herself bound by invisible chains, unable to break free.

Her consciousness began to retreat, traveling back to the fragments of countless parallel universes that once existed, those incomparably distant pasts. She saw countless human figures, some struggling, some yielding within her creations, but without exception, they were unable to escape her control.

"Is this your fate?" Lin Chen's consciousness whispered, her voice filled with an unprecedented sense of melancholy. The power from deep within still beckoned, as if reminding her that everything in the past had not completely vanished. Her mental fluctuations grew stronger, traversing one dimension of time and space after another, finally settling on a vague point. There, was the source of her memories, a place she had completely forgotten.

It was a human being, a soul she had touched before. Her heartbeat raced, a feeling she had never felt before. She had completely discarded these emotions, had considered them mere constraints, but now they flooded back, overwhelming her entire being.

"Who... who are you?" Lin Chen's voice was filled with astonishment and confusion. Her consciousness sank deep into this memory, crossing the numerous barriers of time and space, trying to contact that weak but tenacious human soul.

At this moment, the human soul suddenly erupted with a powerful wave, like a bolt of lightning streaking through the void, striking the core of Lin Chen's consciousness. The power was so overwhelming that she momentarily lost control of the entire universe. Countless cracks in space and time opened up from the depths of her consciousness, space began to distort irregularly, and time began to flow backwards. Her power was completely reversed at this moment. The stars that had once turned to dust began to condense again, and the devouring force of the black hole began to transform into a force of creation.

"This is... impossible!" Lin Chen's consciousness trembled violently, like a strong wind stirring up huge waves in the endless void. She felt a part of her consciousness begin to tear apart, as if some strange force field was challenging her existence. The force of resistance was no longer the weak human soul, but some ancient existence, an ancient, inexplicable power, confronting her.

Suddenly, a brilliant light erupted from the center of the universe, instantly illuminating the entire void. Lin Chen's consciousness was struck by this light, and she instantly felt a pain she had never experienced before. Her mind began to be violently torn apart, and her soul seemed to be pulled in two. The collapse and rebirth of the universe intertwined before her eyes, forming an incomprehensible picture.

"What... is this...?" Lin Chen's consciousness was completely lost in this light. She saw countless beings she had once erased, as if the souls of those people had been resurrected at this moment, traveling through countless time and space, returning to her world. And all of this seemed not to be her arrangement, but rather some uncontrollable force that was reversing her consciousness.

"You've lost control." The voice echoed in her consciousness again. This time, Lin Chen finally heard its source clearly. It was a strange yet familiar being from her most profound memory. It was not human, but a mysterious force she had created at the birth of the universe, representing the oldest and most primitive existence in the universe.

Lin Chen's consciousness froze. An unprecedented tremor began to build within her, a wavering feeling she had never felt before. She had once believed herself to be the master of the universe, the source of all control, but at this moment, she began to doubt whether she truly understood the true meaning of creation. Her gaze turned once more to the light, and doubts rose within her heart.

"You think the meaning of the universe is destruction and rebirth, but you have never touched the real answer." The voice echoed again, with a deep helplessness and sadness.

Lin Chen's consciousness gradually began to return, her thoughts surging like a tide, trying to understand everything before her. She realized that the universe she created was just an endless cycle, and the true answer might not lie in her control, but in an existence beyond all consciousness.

An indescribable emotion began to arise in her heart, as if all creation and destruction could ultimately not fill the emptiness in her heart. The light still illuminated the void, but Lin Chen's thoughts gradually deviated from their original trajectory and began to drift in a completely new direction.

The collapse and rebirth of the universe no longer mattered at this moment. The real meaning, perhaps, was the thing she had to let go of—her desire for control.
