Cain had a wide smile on his face. Every second inside the Coffin of Life and Death was bringing tremendous growth to his body and soul while cleansing his mind. The worries and stresses that had weighed on him for so long faded into nothingness, leaving behind only enlightenment and peaceful introspection.
Time passed in serenity. Month after month, more Alpha–Omega Nodes manifested within Cain's body, appearing across his chest, arms, legs, and even his skull. His cultivation advanced with unwavering steadiness.
Eight months and twenty-four days went by when, at last, the twelfth Alpha–Omega Node emerged. The moment it appeared, a massive qualitative evolution rippled through Cain's flesh and blood. He could feel the nodes aligning, connecting, forming a vast formation across his body. For a fleeting instant, his figure resembled a humanoid eclipse—his entire being a radiant symbol of balance between life and death.
"Eternal Eclipse."
