Chen Sheng's consciousness awoke once more, only to feel a sudden wave of warmth and heaviness enveloping him, akin to the comfort of soaking in warm water, surrounded by gentle energy.
With each "breath," he could feel the energy flowing along invisible meridians, as if being gently nurtured by the entire world.
"Is this... an embryo?"

At this moment, he could clearly perceive his form—a curled body, limbs not yet fully developed, and an "umbilical cord" connecting him to the outside, transmitting energy.
The sensation was immensely wondrous, both unfamiliar and primitively intimate, as if returning to the very origin of life. Everything started from zero, yet concealed infinite possibilities.
