After special treatment, Y'Shaarj's heart could absorb the sha energy within the earth and be reborn.
However, after being scorched by the searing Holy Light, it was essentially ruined.
Although it still retained some void essence.
Absorbing sha energy to resurrect was definitely out of the question!
After the Holy Light's fierce scorching, Y'Shaarj's once plump, vigorous, still-beating heart had become shriveled and withered.

They had left only this heart to study the power of the void.
After absorbing the void essence,
