Lind took his time integrating into the Starlit Refuge. It was a very good place to study Qi but he felt far more confident about condensing Mysteries in his current layer. Compared to any other, he had parsed Qi of all 3 elemental systems nearly his entire life.
His Origin Nodes were proof of that but he also knew that likely meant the threshold of his Mysteries would be insanely high.
Still, the diversity of life in the Refuge was actually inspiring. It opened his mind to possibilities he had never considered!
Even so, his focus was on the strange tear only he could feel. It was the first time he had encountered an actual physical trace of his other selves.
It was also possible it was like the tears in the trial but he doubted it. That tear had felt fresh to his senses.
