Just then, Elder Saintess Nv Wa appeared in front of me.
She let out a sigh and said,
"Remember how the energies fused earlier, if you want to survive… you have to do it again this time, within your core."
A stream of brownish-green energy surged into me, healing my form and suppressing the frenzied golden energy particles.
Suddenly, I found myself back within the sphere in my navel. I couldn't tell if my physical form had blacked out or if I had entered some profound state of insight.
But for the first time, even my metaphysical being felt pain - Indescribable pain.
Despite facing death innumerable times over the last three years, the agony I felt at that moment was unfathomable.
The controlled chaos that was the swirl of energy had now been completely led awry, there was a mixture of purple, silver, red, gold energy particles haphazardly colliding into one another.
