Was that a spinal cord? Yu Lian wondered. I always thought it was a brain.
But they were both Voidrealm beings, after all. Who knew what parts of the human body those materials actually corresponded to? Yu Lian took a radiation-resistant composite case from his spatial bag, then brought out the oval crystal, covered in irregular bumps and disturbing enough to make anyone's sanity take a hit.
"You've already fused with an Aether Wyrm once. The Dimensional Sin Lord and the Aether Wyrm have a lot in common, so you could consider this an enhancement—or even an evolution—within the same system.

"You know about that too?" Yu Lian's expression darkened. "Could it be your esteemed ancestor?"
But even that mighty figure, who had casually sent the "Past" fleeing with a single move, shouldn't have been able to identify Yu Lian's inner workings at a glance.
"Mr. Lan told him."
