Boom.
The Ocean Rift Seal Lands trembled endlessly.
Ancient tides surged through the abyss like rivers of destruction.
The gigantic gray eyes hidden within the deepest darkness remained open silently.
Their gaze alone caused entire regions of space to freeze.
Even the terrifying Grandmist storms weakened beneath that pressure.
Boom.
Yet amidst such terrifying silence—
Situ sat cross-legged before the mysterious infant.
Gray-black aura revolved around him endlessly.
His flesh continuously emitted faint cracking sounds.
The Nine-Colored Deer stood several thousand meters away now.
Not because it wanted distance—
but because the pressure surrounding Situ had already become unbearable.
Boom.
Ever since the infant touched Situ directly—
his transformation had accelerated beyond control.
Not merely his body.
Not merely his soul.
But his very existence itself.
Boom.
At first—
the changes seemed minor.
