The passage of time in the negative plane was hard to measure.
There were no stars to track and no sun to watch.
For Ethan, the only clock was the steady pulse of his own blood and the quiet hum of his cells.
Five months had passed since he entered this world of inverted laws.
Deep inside his spiritual world, the World Tree spoke.
"Master, I have refined those 100 million bloodlines I collected. I have boiled them down to the 10,000 supreme essences. Would you like to merge with them now?"
Ethan opened his eyes.
The grey mist of the negative world swirled around him like a hungry ghost.
He looked at his own skin. It was shimmering.
Half of the cells in his body had already turned golden, fueled by the endless flow of physical entropy.
"Yes,"Ethan replied.
The command was like pulling a trigger.
Instantly, the 10,000 supreme bloodlines surged into his veins.
They did not just enter his body; they attacked his Omni Bloodline.
It was a chaotic war of biological data.
