Aria's death shattered something inside Rahul. He was no longer the same boy who once begged for respect- he had become a storm. Fueled by sorrow and fury, Rahul unleashed the God Seed's Fourth Phase-Heaven breaker mode. His aura turned black-gold, his sword howled like a dying star. The battlefield trembled as the Abyss Monarch faced the full force of divine vengeance.
With one devastating blow, Rahul cleaved through the Monarch's defences, ending the tyrant's reign. But the victory felt hollow. Aria's body lay cold, untouched by time but unreachable by life.
After the battle, Rahul buried Aria beneath the Tree of Eternity, the place she once said felt like home. Then, he vanished. Rumors spread: a lone cultivator was seen crossing deserts, climbing snowbound peaks, entering forbidden zones where even legends dared not go. Rahul hunted knowledge, power-anything that could bring her back.
He found ancient scrolls on Soul Transcendence. He fought beasts born from chaos. He trained under stars for months, breaking into the Celestial Core Realm, a level where body and soul fused into cosmic harmony. But one truth haunted him : To bring her back, he'd have to die.
