    "If you don't write, tonight, Chang'an will be utterly wiped out." The gray, ethereal thought, devoid of joy or anger, was utterly cold, like a judgment descended by the heavens, or a summons from chaos itself. Yuan Tiangang trembled. He looked at the dying people of the city, at the two ancient characters "Bodhi" on the sky, at the blank scroll on the stone table that seemed to swallow the heavens and earth. Finally, he reached out. The instant his fingertips touched the ink brush, his fingertips vanished. Not injured, not broken, but simply dissolved into nothingness, as if they had never existed. The ink brush automatically absorbed his divine soul power, and on the blank scroll, it made its first stroke. This stroke was not of mortal ink. It was a falling star, a reversal of heaven and earth. A picture slowly appeared on the scroll: the sun and moon in the same sky, yin and yang embracing, two streams of energy, one black and one white, forming a circle. Within the circle were no words, yet ten thousand secret patterns flowed. Beside it, a line of small characters appeared out of thin air: "The vast heavens and earth, without end, the sun and moon cycle, endlessly repeating." The first image, complete. Yuan Tiangang collapsed to the ground, staring at his vanished fingertips, at the strange diagram on the stone table, at the fading "Bodhi" on the sky, and finally understood—he wasn't writing a prophecy.
