In the dilapidated temple hall, Shen Yuan sat down cross-legged and began to examine the scroll of Mediation Creation in his hands.
The fragmented scroll slowly unraveled, and in an instant, myriad Grand Dao manifestations appeared before Shen Yuan's eyes.
In a void of nothingness, from the absence of all things, existence began to emerge: from the Dao came one, from one came two, from two came three, and from three came all things... From nothingness was born existence, and within existence, evolution unfolded.
Whether it be all living beings or the vast Grand Dao, everything arose from nothingness and then returned to silence within it.
Shen Yuan became immersed in the magnificent vista of the abundant Grand Dao, as if even the years had come to a standstill in the drifting corners of history.
Time passed unknowingly until Shen Yuan awoke from the myriad of transformations, and the scroll that bore the imprint of Mediation Creation's Supreme Divine Power had turned to ash.
