Yet now, it had come to this.
He had no choice but to borrow the power of the Bizarre Realm, forging a connection to manifest this shadowed visage.
"Very well. Since I schemed against you first… let this settle the karma between us."
After that final glance at Xu Qing, the determination in Zi Qing's shadowed eyes hardened. In a flash—he shot toward the heavens!
Toward the fragmented-face of Desolate.
He sought to merge with It, to form a complete face—and through this, seize control!
This was the truth behind the Bizarre Realm's prophecy:
"Shadows that linger, coexisting with gods."
As He ascended, more shadows surged from the black mist of the Bizarre Realm, continuously merging with Zi Qing's shadowed visage.
The face grew larger, more vast—
Until, under Xu Qing's watchful gaze, It finally reached the apex of the sky, arriving beside the fragmented-face of Desolate.
Then… It fused seamlessly with the fragmented-face!
A complete face now dominated the firmament!
