CHAPTER 219 — ECLIPSE INTEGRATION
For a moment after the system accepted the merge—
The world seemed to stop.
The wind died.
The clouds froze.
Even the roaring fires across the ruined districts below seemed to pause in the air, their smoke rising slower, as if the world itself was holding its breath.
High above the shattered skyline, Long Hao hovered in the sky.
But something about him had changed.
The void energy that once curled around him like drifting smoke had vanished.
Instead—
A deeper darkness gathered around his body.
Not empty darkness.
Not shadow.
But something denser.
Something older.
Across the battlefield, the Jade Dragon stepped backward slightly.
The emerald glow beneath its scales flickered.
"You awaken it."
Its voice rolled through the sky like thunder through stone.
Long Hao slowly lowered his hands.
His fingers trembled slightly as the system energy surged through his body.
Inside his mind—
The void space was gone.
