Yun Lintian's eyes snapped open in realization.
"They're all separate... Because I've never truly united them."
He had always assumed that just because these powers coexisted within his Divine Core, they were naturally connected. But now he saw the truth—they orbited the Seed of Time like distant stars, never touching, never interacting.
Taking a deep breath, Yun Lintian closed his eyes again and focused.
"If time is the connection... Then I must use it as the bridge."
Yun Lintian took a deep breath and started his first attempt. He visualized the Seed of Time pulsing, sending golden threads toward the blazing Sun.
Connect.
The moment the golden light touched the solar flames—
BOOM!
An explosion of energy ripped through his Divine Core. Yun Lintian's body convulsed as fire erupted from his pores, his skin blistering instantly. The backlash hurled him across the dark space, bones cracking against the unseen floor.
Blood pooled in his mouth. His vision swam.
