Shang's Spirit Sense returned, and he slowly sat back up again.
His body wasn't injured in any way, but the same thing couldn't be said for Sword.
Right now, Sword lay beside Shang.
It was only as big as a dagger.
Shang slowly took a deep breath as reality set in.
"I died," he said.
At that moment, the jester jumped down from the Affinity wheel and walked over to Shang while slowly applauding.
"Not bad, not bad," the jester said with a wide grin. "Honestly, when you reached the True Path Stage, I didn't expect you to become so powerful in the Fusion Realm. I expected that you would just comprehend your four Imposes and then breakthrough."
"But no, you actually went a step further."
"And, sure enough, your work wasn't for nothing," the jester said as he stopped in front of Shang.
Shang slowly stood up and fed Sword more ore. By now, Shang's storage of ores was running low.
