The black hole had long since extracted all the Honkai energy from the world and compressed it together. Ryn's power instantly converted this Honkai energy into his own, transforming it into the energy to rewrite reality.
At the same time, Ryn fully unleashed his connection with the Sea of Trees, frantically drawing energy from the Imaginary Tree and the Sea of Quanta.
Only when one truly wants to change the world does one realize how weak a single person's power is... Rewriting an illusory dream world into a real one was no less than an act of creation...
But could he fail? He could not!
The time stop had ended, and Sin Mal had completely fainted.
The energy that had been suppressed by the time stop instantly erupted, filling the solar system in Ryn's hand in a flash. It caught the world's power of destiny off guard, and before it could react, the virtual-to-real conversion was complete...
Within the illusory Stigmata Space, a vast, real world suddenly appeared... The two worlds were about to collide, and the end of destruction was about to happen again.
"Penglaiji Ryn! Quickly!"
Ryn shouted, handing the sphere to Penglaiji Ryn. At the same time, he placed his hand on her, lending her his power. Kiana and Mei also understood that it was a critical moment and lent their power to Penglaiji Ryn as well.
Penglaiji Ryn held the ping-pong-ball-sized solar system in both hands and called out to Sirin in her heart.
"Sirin, I need your help."
"Of course, my dear Savior. Let's create the beautiful world we envision together!"
Sirin's figure appeared beside Penglaiji Ryn, and together they held the glowing sphere.
Then, following the method Ryn had taught them, they inverted the solar system into Penglaiji Ryn's body, allowing the untethered world to take root and sprout within her.
"Heh... I never thought you'd actually create an ending I couldn't foresee... Virtual-to-real conversion, huh..."
Kiana chuckled in relief... they had truly fulfilled the wish she couldn't achieve.

After the world stabilized, Penglaiji Ryn opened a portal and brought everyone into that world.
Although the barren world had become real, the scars left by the Great Honkai Eruption still remained.
So Ryn plunged his sword into the newborn earth. The power of Creation instantly spread out from him in all directions, covering the entire planet in a few breaths.
Ryn's power was constantly transforming the Earth's environment: plants grew, water sources were purified, the air was filtered...
Soon, the Earth returned to an environment most suitable for life, and the destruction of the Great Honkai Eruption was swept away.
When Ryn finished his work, he found that the Wraiths from before had gathered densely behind him, silently watching him transform the Earth.
The real world was born entirely on the foundation of the Stigmata. As Ryn had told the Wraiths trapped in the Stigmata Space before, they were liberated.
Crossing over from the Stigmata Space to the real world, each Wraith washed away their resentment and let go of their obsessions. After waiting for countless ages in the Stigmata Space, they could finally enter the cycle of reincarnation and find true release.
Before fading away, each one walked up to Penglaiji Ryn and Ryn, smiled sincerely, and thanked them, then walked the path to reincarnation.
Kiana and Mei watched silently from a distance, not daring to approach. Just watching from afar was enough for them.
Because if it weren't for them, none of these people would have become remnant souls trapped in the Stigmata Space, unable to be reborn...
A young girl ran up to Kiana and tugged on the corner of her clothes.
"Big sister, you're Kiana... right?"
Kiana bent down, meeting the girl's innocent eyes. After a long silence, she slowly spoke.
"Yes... I am..."
Having received confirmation, the girl raised her hand. Kiana closed her eyes, prepared to be scorned and to bear the wrath of the people.
But the girl didn't slap her as Kiana expected. Instead, she gently lifted the corners of Kiana's mouth, forcing a stiff smile onto her face.
Kiana opened her eyes and saw the girl smiling at her.
"Big sister, you're so pretty. Why don't you smile more instead of always looking so sad?"
"I..."
"Hmm?"
"Why... why aren't you angry at me..."
The girl tilted her head, not quite understanding what Kiana meant. Then, as if she understood something, she smiled and said to her.
"I'm not angry! Kiana, we've always been watching you, observing you. We know all your efforts and sacrifices...
If it had been in the years during that disaster, I would have been very, very angry... but we've been trapped here for too long... so long that our reason, our consciousness, and our past have all become blurred.
I don't know when it started, but your will moved us. When we were cheering you on, our hatred gradually disappeared...
I know this might sound strange and you might not understand... but it doesn't matter. The past is the past, and the erosion of time changes everything... Now, we're going to start a new life too."
The girl held up a bouquet of flowers and smiled as she gave it to Kiana.
"So... Kiana, are you willing to reconcile with us?"
The girl named Kiana had long since run out of tears, having forgotten what it was to cry. So what was this falling from the corners of her eyes now?
The young girl stood on her tiptoes and gently wiped away her tears.
"Big sister, you're so old, yet still such a crybaby..."
"Hehe... sorry..."
Kiana wiped her tears, her facial muscles twitching stiffly as she forced a smile she had long forgotten.
"We've reconciled... but I will never forget the sins I've committed..."
"Then be brave and keep moving forward! Goodbye, Kiana..."
Kiana waved at the back of the departing white-haired girl with Roman-curled twin tails.
"Yeah... goodbye, me."
——————————————
Kiana's tens of thousands of years of life were magnified to millions, even billions of years in the different time flows of the Stigmata Space. The Wraiths trapped by the Stigmata had forgotten who they were over the endless ages, and were more or less influenced and changed by Kiana's experiences...
Or maybe... maybe Kiana had died back then too? And so her own soul was trapped here as well...
