"The essence of truth is to embrace every possibility," Lin Ye's voice echoed throughout the space. "That includes existence, and it also includes nothingness."
Gray energy swirled around him, forming a special domain. Within this domain, existence and nothingness were no longer opposed, but coexisted in harmony.
The seven voids fell into chaos.
Their instinct was to deny all existence, but Lin Ye's current state left them with no way to act. If they attacked his side of existence, his side of nothingness would defend him. If they attacked his side of nothingness, his side of existence would retaliate.
"This is impossible..." Hunger Void's voice trembled.
"Nothing is impossible." Lin Ye walked forward, each step making space tremble. "You have always believed that nothingness and existence were absolute opposites, which is why you ended up in this deadlock."
"But truth told me that the world is not simply black and white."
He raised his staff, gray energy coiling around it. "Since you represent the seven aspects of nothingness, I will answer you with seven truths."
With a sweep of his staff, seven streaks of gray light shot forth.
Each streak corresponded to a void, but they were not attacks. They were something deeper.
Silence Void was struck by Clamorous Truth—the most genuine clamor of life.
Hunger Void was struck by Fulfilled Truth—the most fundamental fullness of existence.
Fear Void was struck by Courageous Truth—the resolve to face the unknown.
Corruption Void was struck by Renewal Truth—the vitality of constant renewal.
Forgetting Void was struck by Memory Truth—the traces left by existence.
Denial Void was struck by Affirming Truth—the recognition of the self.
Ultimate Void was struck by Commonplace Truth—the most ordinary, yet most genuine existence.
The seven voids screamed simultaneously.
Their forms began to distort as black energy surged wildly.
