Su Jie's awareness hovered between waking and sleeping, as if truly resting.
When Su Jie's memories flickered to an end, as if awakening from slumber, he felt as though he had retraced his life's journey — thousands of days and nights of dormant struggle, countless bouts of painful transformation, Su Jie's consciousness became increasingly clear.

Seamless, flawless, perfectly whole, a myriad paths converging into one — this is the True Spirit.
Boom!
The great orb of light floating on the Tao River underwent a drastic change, slowly sprouting human limbs, features, revealing Su Jie's likeness.
