According to Lady Nepheli, Senior Ariel had practically endured every tribulation and attained enlightenment.
The process was much like I'd imagined, but in Fu Qian's view, there were plenty of details worth examining.
The suspicion that his will had gone mad after his SAN hit zero, with his transcendent form spiraling out of control along with it... That was within the realm of reason.
