Chapter 905: 905 - Just curious
In the beginning, there was only chaos—a solitary flame that devoured everything around it.
A black flame, devoid of light, burning silently in the infinite void of space.
It was there, in that absolute nothingness, that the Great Creator gave color to those flames, granting peace to the chaos and life to the darkness.
He departed, yet the flame continued to burn.
On his journey, still trying to understand his own existence, the Creator saw nothing but darkness.
How was that possible?
No matter how far he traveled, there was only deep, endless blackness.
The farther he drifted from the flame he had pacified, the more the darkness swallowed him whole.
Frustrated, he had an idea.
He created a star—great, majestic, and resplendent—one that would illuminate all that darkness.
But now there was a problem.
The star had nothing to illuminate.
And so the first planets were born, different from those that would later form naturally.
Those first worlds were called the Primordial Planets, shaped by the very hands of the Great Creator.
The star that illuminated them was named the Primordial Creation Star, the first of all stars.
It was the key to the Great Creator’s secret and private realm, and also the most powerful star in all of existence.
Qingyi had never heard of such a star. Yet, strangely, as he gazed at it there before him, he felt as if he had known it for a long time, as if the story of its creation had always dwelled in some forgotten corner of his mind.
Qingyi sighed.
He already possessed the Seed of Primordial Creation and the Flames of Life.
Now, he could master even the Star of Primordial Creation.
Still in his incorporeal form, he tried to move a hand that did not exist on that plane, reaching out toward the celestial body.
In the next moment, he felt his body again—or, to be more precise, a projection of it.
His skin was black as polished obsidian, covered in tiny sparkling dots and luminous veins that resembled stars and nebulae scattered across an endless night sky.
Qingyi watched as the Star of Heavenly Slaughter slowly dissolved into nothingness, while the Star of Primordial Creation drew near, bathing his projection in a warm, welcoming light.
"Greetings, child..."
A voice echoed inside his mind.
It was clearly feminine, sweet and gentle as the breeze on a calm morning, carrying a pure and divine aura.
"Uh?" Qingyi’s eyes widened. "You can talk?"
He had already studied stars extensively and had even asked Rouxi and Akane for information on the subject.
Indeed, a deep connection existed between a cultivator and their star, but it wasn’t the kind that allowed for speech or the transmission of feelings.
It was something purely tied to the transfer of power and form.
Stars were not sentient beings.
’Don’t tell me that...’ Qingyi’s face filled with shock.
That was a star with a mind of its own!
"Fufufufu~ You don’t need to overthink it, child. You don’t know my name, but I know yours, and I’ve been watching you since your very first step... I am the Primordial Empress of Spirits, creator of all spirits, from the most insignificant to the most powerful. That little girl by your side, Ruxue, is one of my favorite creations..."
"Oh... so you’re not the Primordial Star of Creation?"
"Yes... and no... Think of me as a manifestation of its will." She let out a soft chuckle, her voice easily capable of lulling Qingyi into a false sense of security.
It was simply too sweet, too calm.
Like a mother’s whisper on a stormy night, a voice as beautiful as the most refined celestial symphony, carrying a divine and clearly non-human aura.
"And what do you want from me?"
"Nothing that would harm you. I am, after all, a star. You carry the Great Father’s heart within you, and I’ve finally found someone worthy of connecting with me... isn’t that a great joy?"
Qingyi listened to it all in silence, pondering.
[Don’t hesitate so much. The connection between a star and a cultivator isn’t something that can be used to harm anyone... she’s probably being sincere. The Star of Heavenly Slaughter has already departed, and if you refuse the Primordial Empress of Spirits, your advancement will fail.]
Qingyi nodded in confirmation to the system, his lips parting slowly.
"Very well, I accept."
In the next instant, a flash of light burst forth from the star and fell upon his chest, sinking into the star-patterned skin of his projection.
At first, Qingyi felt nothing; confusion crossed his face as he studied his own incorporeal form.
Nothing had changed.
Well, he could sense a new connection—something fragile and tenuous, lying dormant in his chest.
His eyes fell on the status screen, confirming that he had successfully advanced.

"That’s all, child... you’ll notice the change when you return to your body." The voice of the Primordial Empress of Spirits echoed through his mind one last time.
He felt himself being pulled back, and suddenly looked up.
"Do you have a corporeal humanoid form?" he asked, getting straight to the point.
"Uh? Of course, but you’re not ready to see it yet, since the location of my humanoid body can only be accessed by one who has inherited at least ten percent of the Great Father’s original power. Why?"
"No big deal, just curious." Qingyi hid a somewhat insincere smile on his face.
