"How many years has it been? This is the first time someone has been able to awaken my true form!"
Within the massive golden pillar of light, a figure appeared out of thin air.
It was a man.
He had a slender build, dressed in an ancient robe, standing tall like a green pine, with elegant robe pendants, and his black hair cascading down his shoulders. He appeared both godlike and devilish, embodying both righteousness and evil.
However, the man's face was obscured by clouds and mist, hazy and indistinct, rendering his specific features unclear.
As soon as this man appeared, the air was instantly filled with a rich fragrance.
The scent was peculiar.
It was like a blend of myriad flowers and myriad herbs, containing a myriad of flavors, which were difficult to describe in words. Even blocking one's nostrils couldn't keep this scent at bay.
