章 184: Willow The Maiden (6)

Previously

The Sage's form seemed to shimmer against the backdrop of the grand spectacle, a focal point of enigma in the midst of the uproar. While the crowd's eyes were fixed on the tumultuous proceedings, Willow's attention remained riveted on the Sage. He saw more than just a participant in the [Tournament]; he saw a kindred spirit, a seeker of truths beyond the veil of the ordinary.

A camaraderie of the extraordinary was forged between them, an invisible thread woven by the very energy that coursed through the universe. It was a thread that connected the unassuming nine-tailed inventor of 'Sei' to the fallen guardian of 'Chi', both carving their marks upon the tapestry of existence. As the arena's tumult reached a crescendo, Willow's thoughts embraced this connection, and he knew that the paths they walked were laced with wonder and discovery beyond imagination.
