Myth Of Chi Ren: Empty shell

Chi Ren instantly stopped his steps, the energy radiance in front of him felt unfamiliar yet so weak. Strangely, there was a familiarity that infiltrated, bringing a faint memory of something distant and unreachable, but not erased from his memory faintly bringing a sense of familiarity to his 'soul sea'.

Chi Ren continued to walk without pause, without feeling the slightest fatigue, unstoppable by the stormy storms that raged fiercely in the deep blue sea, he broke through the unreachable high mountains that soared into the sky, and crossed the deadly steep cliffs in between, walked in the dense forests that were dark and savage, passed through the dry and extremely rough desert, No obstacles were able to stop this infinite journey.

Chi Ren endlessly strides, yet never advances, in the endless circle in which he goes around, as if the world is repeating itself endlessly. Time seemed powerless to stop his steps, yet every footstep always brought him back to the starting point. his soul is trapped in a silent time vortex, tracing the same path over and over again.

Although the distance seemed infinite, his desire knew that each step only prolonged his isolation, that distant beam of energy, as close and familiar as the moonlight on the water's surface, was never tangible in his grasp, thee closer he tried to get, the more distant the energy seemed, like an illusory shadow on the unreachable horizon.

In Chi Ren's heart, there was a growing sense of helplessness, a bitter realization that fate might have written his path on an endless road, no matter how hard he tried and acted, or how deep the trough of his desire was, it felt like he would never get even an inch closer to his goal, to that mysterious source of energy that burned his soul and passion. In the midst of this endless journey, hope and despair laughed loudly and silently in an eternal dance that seemed to mock him with the false promise of what he could achieve.

Chi Ren began to feel despair creeping into the corners of his 'soul sea', but what exactly was despair? In deep solitude, his mind was entangled in this never ending question, was this path he was on really a real one, or just a shadow of a false illusion that he himself created? Were his steps just echoing in the void, moving towards a point that never really existed?

Confused, he gazed towards the source of energy that called to his with indescribable charm, washereally getting closer to the truth, or washegetting lost in the maze of desires created by his own soul? Was his path the destinyhewas meant to follow, or just a faint shadow of a hope that would never come true?

His mind churned, like storm-tossed water, wondering if these steps were bringing him closer to the answers he sought, or if they were leading him further away from reality, in this void, Chi Ren wondered in his 'soul sea' if he was a vanishing explorer or a wanderer who never really moved forward?

Chi Ren fell into absolute silence, as if trapped in an endless uncertainty, but, suddenly, the emission of energy that he had been chasing began to pulse, vibrating with a rhythm that seemed to be alive, like a heartbeat that was slowly getting stronger, the energy seemed to be aware of his existence, calling gently but surely, asking him to come closer.

In this moment, Chi Ren felt something unfamiliar-a call that he could not ignore, a pull that he could not resist. The silence that had surrounded him was now broken by a throb that shook his entire existence. He realized that his path so far, which had seemed endless and illusory, was now bearing fruit, but, in that happiness, there was also a nagging doubt.

How could he call this an achievement? This discovery? The result that finally appeared before him was not the fruit of his own efforts. It was not the result of his hard work and long, arduous journey, instead, it was the call of the energy itself, which had mercifully paved the way for him, offering him a truth that he could not obtain with his own hands.

Chi Ren was stunned, pondering the meaning of all this, was he just a pawn in a bigger game, or was it destiny that had actually given him the opportunity to witness the greatness that lay ahead of him? The energy had given him a path, but was this path really the one he chose, or was it just a direction set by something greater than himself?

However, he quickly discarded all the speculations swirling in his 'soul sea', he who had done and experienced all the previous events was now slowly evolving into a more mature and decisive personality, now able to determine the path and principles for himself, no longer trapped in doubts that weakened him.

Chi Ren stepped forward with renewed determination, walking confidently to fulfill this calling that stirred his soul, even though he did not fully understand where or why the calling came from and pointed, he knew, in the depths of his heart, that this was the path he had to take, no matter how arduous or unexpected the journey was, step by step, he stepped closer and closer to the source of the energy that called him.

Until finally he found himself in front of a towering mountain, a mountain so huge and majestic, it was almost unimaginable to the human mind, Chi Ren circled around the mountain, trying to find the right entrance, but every direction he took seemed to lead him back to the original point, testing his patience and perseverance, however, with an unyielding spirit, he continued to search, until finally he found a path that seemed to truly lead him to the inside, a path that seemed to be sculpted specifically for him.

On his way to the end of the path, he finally found the origin of the energy beam that he had been chasing, an energy that felt so familiar, like a part of himself, yet at the same time unfamiliar, as if it held a mystery that he had never known before, and there, in the presence of that energy, Chi Ren felt a complicated mixture of feelings, between the excitement of finding what he had been looking for, and the confusion of what would come next, without pause, without hesitation, he stepped closer, feeling every pulse of that energy that seemed to communicate with him, speaking in a language that only he could faintly understand.

A human body, lying rigidly amidst the silence, looked like a statue made of flesh and bone, an empty shell bereft of content, yet within the fragility was an almost invisible sparkle, a glimmer of life that still pulsed slowly, like a soft whisper in the midst of a storm, calling and begging for Chi Ren's attention, inviting him to come closer, as if relying on the nearly extinguished energy to draw him in.

Chi Ren felt a faint vibration in his heart at this moment, a feeling that was unfamiliar but at the same time familiar, like a long-forgotten memory, perhaps this was a sense of pleasure, but he didn't know for sure what it was, perhaps it was just an illusion of the discovery he had just achieved, just an unreasonable pleasure, just a reflection of the realization that behind all the long journey he had gone through, there was something more, a mystery waiting to be solved.

He stepped forward, his steps light yet firm, the eyes of his heart opened wider than ever before, every pulse of life emanating from that body seemed to fill the void within him, giving meaning to the endless journey he had traveled, in the immeasurable solitude of time, he continued to walk, driven by a curiosity greater than anything else.

He felt as if everything he had ever lived was just a preparation for this moment, to find the meaning hidden in the barely audible pulses, to touch the truth beyond ordinary human understanding, and in the process, he realized that maybe, just maybe, this journey was about finding himself, in that seemingly empty shell, in that weakly pulsing energy, that was actually calling him to understand and acknowledge his own existence.

Chi Ren touched that body made of flesh and skin, as if he was touching an empty shell that had lost its contents, yet in an instant, he felt himself being pulled with tremendous force by that human body, his soul was swept away on a journey that was far deeper and more mysterious than any journey he had ever taken, this journey took him into the depths of the vast "soul sea", filled with currents of understanding that he had never encountered before, these currents flowed calmly and violently, unlocking the knowledge hidden within him.

But among all of them, there was one light of understanding that shone brighter than the rest, this was the understanding of immortality, and Chi Ren felt himself trapped in the vortex of this light, swept away by the desire to know and fully understand what immortality was, time seemed to be meaningless, days, months, maybe years passed unnoticed, but he remained silent in his fixation.

Trying to solve the mystery behind this ray of immortality, suddenly, a door opened in his consciousness, a door to a deeper secret, he began to understand that the empty shell he touched earlier was an existence similar to himself, two entities originating from the "Celestial Dao of Spirit", but at the same time, he realized that there was a fundamental difference between them, the sensation he felt, familiar yet unfamiliar, now had a new meaning, this existence before him was a pure immortal body.

A creation that is able to purify itself without difficulty, but only because this body itself gives way to Chi Ren, opening up a way to possess and understand, even so, unfortunately, the soul that inhabits this body is weak and fragile, like a thread that is about to break, that soul is now almost destroyed, too weak to survive in this world, however, there is something deeper that Chi Ren feels.

A very new and unfamiliar understanding, that when one's soul disintegrates and dies in the world it is in now, the core of that soul will ascend to a higher world of existence, a world where time has no power, and everything is eternal, this is the world where Chi Ren might one day step into, a realm beyond the reach of human understanding, where eternity is not just a concept but a living, breathing reality, and within the darkness of that eternal light, Chi Ren felt a calling that beckoned him stronger than ever, calling him to go further into the mystery, to uncover deeper secrets that could only be achieved through a thorough understanding of what it truly meant to be immortal, that higher world mentioned that its name was the Spirit World.

He never existed but he was always in front of and behind Chi Ren, and Chi Ren was always, every moment walking between those two worlds invisible boundary, unconsciously stepping his gray feet on a thin endless thread beneath him, the boundary between the earth world of eternal mist and the world of Spirit, the place where the truth would be revealed and the curtain of destiny would open with the shame of a man without clothes.
