As Grey focused, his vision flickered like a dying candle. The Nexus symbol dissolved into nothingness and the world twisted violently around him.
In a single heartbeat, he was gone.
He arrived in a space of pure, endless white. There was no sky, no ground, only infinite light. The moment Grey entered, a sharp chill shot down his spine. It was not cold. It was the heavy, crushing weight of ancient power.
He knew where he was. This was the domain of the Dao of Rebirth.
As soon as he entered the domain, whispers began to drift through the white void. They sounded old and distant, like echoes in a canyon.
"To live is to die..."
"To rise, you must fall."
"The circle never breaks."
Grey's heart pounded. The murmurs grew louder, turning into a chant that vibrated in his chest. The air grew heavy, pressing down on him.
"END. BEGIN. REPEAT."
"The Eternal Cycle of Rebirth."
