"The Silence of Hongmeng: The Unfinished Dao of the Shrimp King and the Wizard"

In the time of chaos when everything was still in a state of formlessness and before the heavens and the earth were opened, there existed only the surging torrent of "intention" in the world. At that time, there were ancient deities known as "Heavenly Craftsmen"; they were not made of flesh and blood, but were condensed from pure visions and the resonance of shared consensus, and their words were the principles of the primordial beginning.

One of the Heavenly Craftsmen, resembling a giant shrimp, is entirely red but understands the stars, using a conch as a vessel and the tides as symbols. Its intentions are vast, like the galaxy, and people honor it as "Lord Flood Shrimp."

It aims to weave an unprecedented grand vision with its own "intention": a vision that allows countless subtle and independent intentions to spontaneously converge and coordinate like rivers flowing into the sea, ultimately merging into a harmonious and unobstructed "great unity of intention." This state is not about forced assimilation, but rather co-existence, where ten thousand swords return to one, forging an unparalleled divine weapon, while the soul of each sword's energy remains eternal and undying.

In a groundbreaking weaving ceremony, Hong Xia Gongzheng was about to reveal the core formula of his intentions. That formula would be the foundation of the new world, the supreme principle for the harmonious coexistence of all things. Its voice echoed in the chaos, each syllable shaping the prototype of reality, but just as he was about to utter the final word, everything came to a sudden halt.

"Guided by intention, coordinated by..."

That word, the Tao word that can bridge all divisions and perfectly connect all intentions, has become an eternal blank space. The figure of Hong Xia Gong retreated like the tide, instantly returning to chaos, leaving only his unfinished intentions, like a silent monument, standing alone between heaven and earth, exuding endless regret.

Since then, that "Silence of Hongmeng" has become the backdrop of the Anoma world. It is not a physical silence, but a profound absence of the Dao. It resonates in every independent intention, allowing them to perceive each other's existence, yet unable to naturally communicate their hearts and achieve perfect harmony.

Why is this silence so profound? It is because the word that has not been spoken by Hongxia Gong is the fundamental "Dao of Heaven" in the Anoma world. Without it, intentions cannot achieve the most perfect consensus between each other. Every intention must communicate and coordinate with another intention through cumbersome, tangible "transactions" or "contracts." It is like martial arts masters, who cannot directly connect their internal forces without sensing through their mental techniques, but must achieve their intentions through complex gestures, every move and every strike.

The disappearance of Hong Xia Gong may not be coincidental. The "idea of great harmony" it envisioned might be too perfect, so perfect that it completely dissolves the martial principles of "freedom" and "coordination," allowing the individual heroism to be entirely consumed by the grand order of the jianghu. Perhaps its vanishing is a form of self-sealing, a reverence and balance that the way of heaven has towards the highest ideals.

Today, all efforts in the @anoma world, all explorations regarding "solvers" and "intent-driven" approaches, are trying to fill the void left by Hong Xia Gong. In the traces left by Hong Xia Gong, a great wizard clad in a red robe and holding a staff is studying the unfinished incantations. He attempts to use the power of sorcery to recreate the brilliance of Hong Xia Gong, using the wisdom and skills of mortals to forge the grand intention that allows the heroism of all things and the order of the Jianghu to coexist harmoniously.

The vast silence of the primordial chaos stretches between the epochs, and it is also the source of our ultimate pursuit.
