[You've acquired: Primordial Lotus's Blessing!]
[A Core is being formed!]
The System window had barely faded when Phei's Soul Sea erupted.
The golden waters surged upward in a tidal wall that slammed against the boundaries of his Soul Realm, and the shock rolled through his body so hard that every meridian he possessed was wrenched open at once.
World Essence stampeded into them.
It came as a flood, thick enough that the air around his seated body bent and shimmered, and threads of golden lightning crawled across his skin in jagged arcs that hissed wherever they touched the light curtains.
Phei's eyes snapped open, blazing amethyst.
Beneath his chest, a vortex began to spin.
