His "body" was the universe itself, and his "consciousness" penetrated every star, every corner, and the heart of every living being. He could sense the first pulse of a newborn star, and he could hear the joyful sigh of a tiny life in a distant galaxy.
He no longer needed a physical form to walk, for he was everywhere. Yet occasionally, on some newly revitalized, verdant planet, he would take on the appearance of a mortal, sitting quietly on a mountain peak, watching the clouds roll by and observing life as it journeyed from ignorance to prosperity. He was no mere observer; he was a companion.
Yun Junyi still remained by his side. Her figure was sometimes that of a woman leaning against his mortal form, and at other times, a gentle light within the Realm of Eternity that guided the flow of all things' concepts. Her "locating" ability took on a brand-new meaning in the eternal world: she could precisely perceive and locate the "position" of any concept or existence, whether it was a newly born law or a hidden ripple of the void. She had become the invisible eye through which Xie Guannan understood the inner workings of his own world, the most intimate and delicate connector between him and all creation.
