Dream-Making Expert
Nothing that would delight the eager onlooker happened in Lin Qi’s hut.
Though Gushe was already prepared, lying on the bed with her eyes closed, looking for all the world like someone offering herself to a tiger.
But Lin Qi only gazed calmly at the fairy beauty before him, eyes shut and yielding to his every whim, his ten fingers dancing as he deployed all manner of spells for inducing hallucinations and sleep, though he did not condense them into her body.
Under Lin Qi’s request to relax her mind and sleep, Gushe slowly drifted off amid the spells his dancing fingertips wove.
Detecting that Gushe had successfully entered the dream, Lin Qi’s mind stirred, and in an instant he entered the dream as well.
…
In the boundless darkness of the starry sky.
A misty figure whose features could not be made out rode an ancient ship, wandering through the vast sea of stars.
She seemed to be searching for something.
In the starry sky, time was meaningless. There was no telling how long had passed.
The ancient ship came to a stop at a remote star system.
Within the star system, seven ancient stars bathed in the light of their sun, utterly dead, having never given birth to life.
“This place will do.”
The misty figure whose features could not be made out murmured a single sentence, ending her long voyage through the stars.
She piloted the ancient ship, visiting all seven ancient stars of the star system in order.
Then, after years of pondering.
The figure finally came to a stop on the largest of the stars.
Time flowed on ruthlessly.
There was no telling how long had passed when the once-calm starry sky suddenly stirred again.
The star where the figure resided seemed to come alive. An invisible will harnessed the star’s mass and began to act against the other six ancient stars.
Tearing apart stars, shattering the starry sky.
The entire star system seemed to undergo a gravitational upheaval, lasting a full thousand years before.
The star system once again fell quiet.
Only the seven stars, originally differing in size, mass, and form, had changed appearance.
The star where the figure resided had grown by a full ring, while of the other six, five had become uniform in size.
The remaining one was still ceaselessly collapsing and tearing apart, its mass swept by the invisible will toward the largest star.
This process continued for a full century more.
At last, the smallest star was completely captured by the largest, becoming its satellite, a round moon hanging in the sky.
And the largest star, after its long remolding and collisions, finally stabilized completely.
Oceans, land, and an atmosphere began to appear.
An invisible will drove the largest star to begin nurturing life.
At the same time, five streams of light shot out from the largest star, falling into the five stars of uniform size, piercing straight into their star cores.
