The empty white vanished, returning Alex back to where he had been before. The Sun Fire barrier still surrounded them completely, with the soft earth below them and the corpses of the two gods nearby.
Immediately, Alex could tell that a total of fifteen days had passed since the time they had started their dual cultivation session.
The Sun God appeared before him once again with his long black hair and pristine white robe. He placed his hand toward him.
"This is your destiny," the god said. "Do not reject me."
Alex watched as the two corpses glowed brightly, the bodies of the True Gods turning into motes of light as they flowed toward him. As soon as the light touched his body, Alex could feel an unimaginable amount of power flow into him.
His body seemingly rejected the power at first, not because it wasn't compatible, but because it was foreign. Alex then understood why the Sun God told him not to reject him.
"I accept."
The energy finally flowed in.
