Chapter 558 A Good Start
Under the guidance of Xu Si's star power, the pale green life law flowed into the edge of the small world like a trickle.
Each line that penetrates deep into the crack causes a subtle tremor, like spring water overflowing a dried-up riverbed, or new buds pushing through frozen soil.
Xu Si closed his eyes, slowed his breathing, and completely immersed his senses in the space that was being reshaped.
Several days later, the fog at the edge of the star field began to undergo visible changes.
It was no longer a blurry outline, but gradually coalesced into a slender "cocoon" with a faint green glow, like an embryo wrapped in a translucent membrane, quietly suspended in the void at the edge of the star field.
Inside the cocoon, the outline of the nightmare was barely visible.
Instead, a life form more suited to the small world within his body was created.
Xu Si never expected that the original nightmare would be gradually shaped into a more ideal form by the laws within his body.
Is that nightmare still a nightmare?
"all."
Xu Si didn't actually have anything to say to Yi Yi right now.
He was a little nervous, or rather, somewhat uneasy, about the imminent birth of life in his little world.
"Hmm?" Yi Yi's voice came quickly, sounding a little confused.
"It seems like life is really about to be born in my little world."
When Xu Si said this, there was a shyness in his tone that he himself did not realize.
How can this not be considered pregnancy?
Or, is his current state considered the 'Golden Core Realm' or the 'Nascent Soul Realm'?
Xu Si smiled speechlessly, but he didn't feel any resistance in his heart.
As the "Ruler of the Star Realm," how can one be considered proper without one's own natal planet?
"Really?" Yi Yi's voice was clearly more awake, carrying a hint of surprise and curiosity.
"May I take a look?"
"Not at the moment, the distance is too far."
The cocoon of light remained suspended at the edge of the star field for three full days.
On the evening of the third day, Xu Si was merging the last life law into the crack at the edge of the small world when he suddenly felt a slight tremor coming from the depths of the star field.
Like a heart beating for the first time in the darkness.
His breathing stopped for a moment.
The cocoon burst open like a bubble exploding.
There was no sound, no explosion of light, but in some unnoticed corner, a very fine crack appeared on the translucent film.
The cracks slowly spread along the curve of the cocoon, like spring ice silently melting under the warm sun, eventually splitting into two halves that slid off to the sides.
A tiny, pale green glow emanated from the cocoon, floating shakily in the air like a seed just emerging from the soil, unsure of where to go.
Xu Si's senses landed on that ball of light.
It wasn't its original size, only about the size of a fist, with short limbs and a flat head, making it look somewhat like a salamander.
However, unlike others, it was also covered with a layer of hard leather armor, obviously to adapt to the still incomplete and harsh environment of the planet inside its body.
"...Nightmare?" he called out tentatively.
The ball of light trembled slightly, then drifted closer to Xu Si, like a fledgling bird recognizing its family.
However, the Nightmare that has completed its transformation no longer possesses the agility of a familiar.
It carried a hint of bewilderment and completely shed its Sequence 1 life level, becoming no different from an ordinary life form.
Xu Si was silent for a moment, looking at the small ball of light that he perceived was slowly rotating, and he felt a mix of emotions.
"...Ugh."
Xu Si's eyebrows twitched slightly. How could this not be considered his own child?
"Can't you speak anymore?"
The ball of light tilted its head, seemingly trying to understand the meaning behind his words, but in the end it only let out another sound: "...Ugh!"
"That is a problem. However, it's not necessarily a bad thing."
His little world has come to life.
Although that life was so fragile that it seemed it would dissipate with a gust of wind, it truly existed and was breathing.
Xu Si withdrew his gaze and gently placed it on the small planet inside his body that was already nearing completion.
The planet inside his body is also very similar to Earth.
From its original state of decay, cracking, and lifelessness, it has transformed into a stable, solid structure, and is even beginning to nurture life.
Although there is only one life, 'Nightmare,' on the dark red land, it is at least a good start.
Looking at the Nightmare that burrows into the ground as soon as it lands, even after completing its transformation, it can't change the guy's instinct to hide.
"But how will this little guy eat?"
Xu Si suddenly thought of a problem: without green plants and other living things, would this guy start eating dirt?
However, Nightmares used to feed on dreams, so what about now?
Just as Xu Si was struggling with the little guy, the last law of life had completely merged into the crack at the edge of his small world.
His original cracks in the laws of law now appear to have been almost completely repaired.
The abundance of matter and the laws of life eliminates the risk of his laws collapsing.
As for the repair of other laws such as time, space, causality, etc., there is no rush.
Moreover, finding all these small worlds filled with these laws is not so easy.
It would have to be a more advanced small world than our current one to make that possible.
However, such a small world can at least give rise to higher-level life forms.
As for whether there will be any entity that could threaten Xu Si, that remains to be seen.
He stood up, stretched his body, and let the star power flow through his body, as smoothly as spring water overflowing a newly formed riverbed.
Those cracks in the laws that had previously left him helpless no longer pose any burden to him.
"That's about it."
He glanced down at the lush greenery beneath his feet, his senses extending deeper. The weary and wary world consciousness remained huddled in the deepest part of the core of the laws, like a frightened hedgehog, tightly protecting all the remaining patterns of the laws beneath its body.
Xu Si did not touch the remaining laws.
He remembered his promise: "Don't bite off more than you can chew."
"I'm leaving," he said.
There was no response from that thought.
Xu Si didn't care. His figure began to dissipate into countless starlight, leaping towards the pre-marked points of light in the sky.
As they approached Earth, Yi Yi's voice came first, carrying a hint of barely concealed joy.
"You're back?"
"Hmm." Xu Si's lips curved slightly.
The World Tree is taller than before, its canopy now fully open, like a towering emerald green canopy, enveloping half the sky in a golden-green halo.
The City of Fire was raised to a height of several hundred meters. The original city had disappeared, replaced by wooden houses placed on the branches of the World Tree.
The statues of Xu Si and Yi Yi were placed in the most prominent position on the World Tree, making the World Tree seem like the perfect backdrop. Could it be that Yi Yi placed them herself?
She seems to really like this sculpture!
