According to legend, although Thunder is an ancient and unchanging divine entity, there are certain special times when it may fall. When Thunder falls, its structure collapses, and the power of Thunder dissipates, instantly filling the place where it lands with boundless Thunder Power, forming a vast ocean of thunder known as the Thunder Sea.
Within the Thunder Sea, there is nothing but the violent Thunder Power; no other forces can penetrate it. Whether it is solid land, sharp winds, or gentle rain, none can enter the Thunder Sea; only Thunder Power can exist within it.
However, the Thunder Sea can give rise to some other thunder-related Spiritual Artifacts. For example, the Thunder Spirit Ancient Tree is one such entity. The Thunder Spirit Ancient Tree derives its sustenance from the Thunder Power in the Thunder Sea, with its branches made of thunder and its trunk adorned with lightning leaves. It is a spirit wood entirely composed of Thunder Power.
Additionally, it can nurture some peculiar souls. Many thunder-type beasts have their souls attracted to the Thunder Sea after death. Under the nurturing of the Thunder Sea, these Thunder Beast Souls gradually grow stronger and may even undergo transformation and rebirth, although this requires passing through trials.
……
The entire space is a purple ocean filled with wildly raging thunder. Purple lightning roars through it as endless Thunder Power fills the entire area. Apart from the thunder, only variously sized Thunder Beast Souls lie quietly in different corners of the Thunder Sea, breathing softly. Besides these, there is nothing else in the entire Thunder Sea.
However, at the bottom of this Thunder Sea lies an unusual sight: a corpse—a human corpse. It has not been consumed by the thunder within the Thunder Sea; instead, it floats intact at the bottom, which is quite extraordinary.
Upon closer inspection, this corpse not only remains unharmed by the thunder but is also surrounded by a terrifying purple Thunder Power. The overwhelming might of thunder emanates from it, so potent that it rivals even that of natural thunder. In response to such dense Thunder Might, the surrounding thunder seems to show signs of fear; even those fierce Thunder Beast Souls dare not approach too closely. In all the tens of thousands of years since the formation of this Thunder Sea, such a bizarre sight has never been seen before.
Surrounded by this Thunder Power lies a young man quietly resting atop the thunder. His clothes have disintegrated under the thunder's force, revealing his well-defined muscles and horrifying wounds that are both gruesome and terrifying. His long black hair remains intact, cascading wildly down around him. Coupled with his sharp features, there is a ruggedness that hints at wildness.
Most striking are his black eyes; although they currently lack any vitality, they emit an eerie Purple Radiance. Along with the deep blackness surrounding his pupils, they form swirling patterns of black and purple that seem capable of devouring souls, radiating a strong and sinister glow.
Early morning, outside Northern Yue Village
"Mother, I'm leaving; you don't need to see me off anymore..."
A clear voice rang out before the village as Sun Zhe shouldered his book box and spoke softly to his mother. After years of hard study, he finally had a chance to pursue his ambitions. Although he felt some concern for his family, he decided to head to Xianyang to take part in the palace examination.
"Zhe Er, you must take good care of yourself on your journey to Xianyang. Don't be stingy with money, and don't feel nervous during the imperial examination. Your mother is waiting at home for your good news..." The mother, now old with gray hair covering her head, looked at Sun Zhe and spoke slowly, her kind gaze revealing a deep sense of reluctance.
"Ping'er, with your brother away from home, you must not make mother angry. You are already grown up; you need to take good care of her, understand?" Sun Zhe knew that their family was poor and that his younger brother often faced bullying, but he had never been home to witness it. His stubborn character was just like his own.
"Ping'er understands. I will never make mother angry again. Don't worry, brother." Puffing out his chest, Sun Ping, a child no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, showed no signs of mischief in his innocent eyes; instead, his words were filled with sincerity.
"Teacher, I am leaving..." Approaching his teacher, Sun Zhe spoke softly. His respect for this knowledgeable elder was almost equal to that for his mother who had raised him.
"You... are leaving?" After a moment, the elder finally turned to look at Sun Zhe and asked calmly.
"Go on, go on..." The elder waved his hand gently, his tone hinting at a faint sense of helplessness.
Sun Zhe did leave; he truly left—leaving his hometown, leaving the Qin State, leaving that world behind, and departing from the three most important people in his life.
...
The scenes in his mind flipped again, this time appearing in a luxurious family estate filled with ornate carvings and golden splendor. In the study room stood an elderly man and a young boy quietly by the window.
"Zhe Er, how old are you this year?" The middle-aged man asked while looking into the distance with his hands clasped behind his back.
"Reporting to father, after the Annual Festival, Zhe Er will be twelve years old." Sun Zhe trembled as he spoke to his imposing father, fearing he might upset him. In his memories, he recalled more scoldings than affection from his father.
"Twelve years old... From now on, the prosperity of the family will be entrusted to you..." The young Sun Zhe could not perceive the deep sense of helplessness hidden within his father's calm words. He also did not understand that the seemingly flourishing Sun Family had already reached its end.
Not long after, the family was destroyed, and the clan members perished. The young Sun Zhe stared blankly at the scene before him. Under his father's desperate protection, he was led away by an old servant, feeling lost and helpless. What awaited him next was a life of slavery for over a decade.
At the moment Sun Zhe was killed by Cai Yuanheng during the test at the Xuan Lei Sect, countless thoughts surged in his mind, along with his father's earnest teachings. He finally understood that his father's reprimands were actually expressions of love. Unfortunately, he lacked the ability to fulfill his father's grand aspirations.
Two people from different worlds, living two distinct lives, yet bizarrely overlapping. This time, they truly merged into one, combining their sorrows and frustrations into a single entity.
In the instant their souls genuinely fused, a purple glow suddenly flashed in Sun Zhe's eyes, and a terrifying purple light enveloped him like a Purple Light Cocoon. The Thunder Power that had surrounded him also seemed to be stimulated, becoming wildly agitated. Under its influence, the entire Thunder Sea roiled and flickered with lightning as thousands of Thunder Beast Souls surged out from the Thunder Sea.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Void underwent a sudden change; the originally clear sky was instantly shrouded in dark clouds. Thunder rumbled as countless bolts of lightning erupted from the long-silent Thunder Abyss. Dazzling arcs of electricity flickered in the Void, and the deafening sound of thunder echoed endlessly. This time, it was truly a transformation of the earth!
When souls merge, bodies change. The thunder that had long been dormant within began to stir at the moment of soul memory fusion.
