After a long silence, the confusion in the eyes of the Master of Nothingness gradually dissipated, replaced by a complex light. He saw the civilizations he had personally extinguished over billions of years, heard their cries of despair, and witnessed their faint resurgence under the illumination of fire.
"I... wish..." His voice was deep and hoarse, like an ancient vow.
At the instant he made this vow, the Void Chains around him suddenly shattered, transforming into countless black specks that merged into his body. The statue began to crack and then reassembled at an incredible speed.
He was no longer the cold statue, but transformed into a man draped in a black robe, surrounded by a faint golden glow. His features were handsome yet pale, his eyes as deep as an endless void, yet flickered with a faint glimmer of fire. He was both "nothingness" and "being," the convergence point of "Gui Xu" and "rebirth."
