As that will spoke, one immense will after another awakened in the darkness and spoke:
"Another truly qualified candidate has appeared? Which legacy is it this time?"
"The new round of the game has only just begun, hasn't it? A qualified candidate appearing this soon is a good sign."
"I hope this mass deployment finds enough qualified candidates..."
"What good are numbers? Numbers mean nothing. We need to find candidates with enough potential!"
"How are numbers useless? Aren't numbers what we rely on?"
"You know perfectly well whether we rely on numbers or those few people's sacrifices..."
"Enough arguing!" The first will to awaken was the strongest, and it drowned out all the other voices.
"Haven't you sensed it yet? The legacy this candidate has awakened belongs to... that one!"
These words immediately aroused the other voices' curiosity:
"Which one? Let me see... heavens! It's actually..."
"What? His legacy can really be awakened? I thought that legacy was destined to fade away!"
"Good... this is good!"
Just then, a somewhat hesitant voice spoke:
"How about... we go take a look?"
The other voices paused, then began chattering:
"Yes! I want to see what the successor to that path looks like!"
"It's far too early to call him a successor! Do you think his path is that easy to walk? Being a qualified candidate is only the first step in unlocking the legacy. Whether he can set foot on that path is another matter entirely. I'd say he probably has no chance!"
"So what? Taking a look won't hold anything up! It's the Primordial Hall over there anyway. It's easy for us to go over, and we won't be discovered."
"In our current state, we can't actually touch that candidate at all. We'd truly just be 'looking.' What's the point?"
"Enough!"
