[: 3rd POV :]
The very moment Trey's Planetary Core settled peacefully upon one of the great branches of the Tree of Sanctum, an overwhelming pulse echoed throughout Daniel's Core Realm.
It was not the pulse of mana.
Nor was it the pulse of life.
It was the resonance of worlds acknowledging one another.
The Tree of Sanctum shone brilliantly as every leaf released countless streams of golden light that flowed toward the three Planetary Cores.
Daniel's Core.
Mika's Core.
Erika's Core.
And now...
Trey's Core.
The four lights intertwined beautifully before forming a massive circular formation beneath the Tree.
The formation slowly rotated as ancient runes that no living being could comprehend illuminated one after another.
The surrounding Origin Mana surged violently before calming almost instantly, as though the Tree itself was personally stabilizing the fusion.
Within the Core Realm, Trey stared at the unbelievable sight with widened eyes.
"...It's beginning."
