Dark energy.
The primordial origin of all forms.
Older than Aether.
Beyond Soul, Spirit, Law, or Flame.
It couldn't be refined.
It couldn't be understood.
And because of that… she would never reach Transcendence.
To transcend was to understand one's element
To tame it.
But the thing inside her was untamable.
A wild, eternal current that simply existed.
Wang Xiao didn't fear many things.
But even he wasn't sure what would happen if her dark energy collided with his dark matter in an act of intimacy.
Two primal forces, meant to shape existence, not each other.
He had no data.
No historical record.
No precedent.
She might be the first living being in all creation made partially of dark energy.
She wasn't born like this out of nature.
She was created like this out of necessity.
Yanyan knew all this.
That's why she had no shame around him.
It wasn't seduction.
It was relief.
