When I opened my eyes, I was elated. This was the first time that I had felt movement other than my own ever since I had entered this universe.
However, when I flew into the sky, I realized that there weren't any other intelligent life forms. The earth-shattering commotion had been caused by the collision of the two planets.
I didn't know why, but the orbit of the planet that I had been on had deviated. It had moved towards the direction of the star and collided with the other planet in the inner orbit.
The huge energy brought about by the collision caused all the water vapor and dust on the two planets to fly up, forming a huge dust atmosphere that completely enveloped the two entangled planets.
If one of the planets had been replaced with Earth, such a collision could have easily wiped out all civilization on Earth. However, in this universe, I didn't feel the slightest bit of shock as I looked at everything in front of me.
This calmness wasn't only due to my current state of mind, but also because I realized that the planet in front of me seemed to be very small.
The so-called 'small' wasn't due to the visual effect caused by the distance between us. It was small in the truest sense of the word. It looked to be only ten times the size of my body. Even if the two planets were to collide, they wouldn't be more than ten times the size of me.
In reality, when I had first arrived on this planet, I couldn't even be considered as an ant on an elephant compared to this planet.
In such a short period of time, as a celestial body in the universe, it was impossible for this planet to become smaller. The only explanation was that I had become bigger.
Using this reasoning, there was an explanation for the collision of the two planets.
As I had become bigger to the size of the planet itself, the overall mass of the planet had increased. At the same time, the gravitational force between the planet and the star had also increased. Hence, it had moved towards the inner orbit of the star and finally collided with the other planet in the inner orbit.
If the scale of this universe was no different from Earth, I would be a true giant when I returned to Earth with my current appearance. Mount Everest wouldn't even be as tall as one of my fingers.
In reality, when I had been in the previous solar system, I had noticed that the mountains there weren't even as tall as my knees. At that time, I had thought that it was because of the unique topography of the planet. However, it seemed that it was because my body had become extremely tall.
From the changes before and after, my body's change should be related to the Chaos Origin that I had absorbed. As the Chaos Origin in my body increased, my body would become bigger and bigger. Currently, I was already close to the size of an ordinary planet. If I continued to absorb, I might even exceed the size of a planet and reach Stellar-level.
If such a strange thing happened on Earth, I would definitely think of a way to solve it. In reality, changing my body wasn't a big deal.
However, I didn't need to think too much about this problem here. I just needed to not stay on the planet and cultivate in outer space to avoid being interrupted again.
Thus, I flew out of the solar system. After I had reached outer space, I continued to sit cross-legged and continued to absorb the Chaos Origin.
In outer space, the absorption of the Origin of Chaos seemed to be a little faster. Countless Origin Energy was absorbed into his body, and very soon, it exceeded the original storage in his body. Then, it continued to accumulate, from tens to hundreds of times, to thousands of times.
This time, my goal was to absorb at least ten thousand times the Chaos Origin's power before opening my eyes to explore my surroundings.
This time, there was still an accident. I continuously felt some things colliding with my body. However, as these things weren't big and didn't cause me any harm, I didn't pay attention to them. I didn't even open my eyes to look at them. Instead, I continued to cultivate. I only opened my eyes when I had reached the target of ten thousand times the Chaos Origin's power.
My surroundings were as quiet as before. However, what was strange was that I discovered that there were dozens of pebbles and air masses revolving around my body. They were like planets that were moving in a circular motion.
There were also countless pebbles attached to my body, as though I was buried in a pile of rocks.
I extended my hand and grabbed one of the pebbles that was revolving around me. After holding it in my hand and taking a closer look, I discovered that it wasn't a pebble, but a solid planet. It was mainly made up of rocks and dust, but there was also some solid ice. It didn't look much different from the planets that I had been to before.
After looking at a few pebbles, I gradually understood.
These pebbles were real planets. My current body should have already reached the Fixed Star rank. While I was sitting cross-legged and cultivating, due to my enormous mass, I had captured some of the dust in the surrounding space. At the beginning, many of the things that were attracted to me had collided with my body. That was the reason why I had noticed the collisions during my cultivation.
Apart from the parts that had collided with my body, other cosmic dust with kinetic energy had gathered and fused around my body. In the end, it had formed a new star system.
At first glance, this speculation seemed absurd. However, when I reached the nearest star, everything was confirmed.
The planets in this star system were also in the shape of pebbles when I held them in my hand. As for the previously incomparably huge star, even if I were to stick close to it, I would discover that it was only a few times bigger than my body.
My body had already reached the Fixed Star rank. This meant that the vast space in the universe had shrunk countless times to me. Thus, I chose another direction and attempted to explore the end of this space.
I only needed to take one step and I would be able to rush from one star to the next. This time, I was extremely confident and felt that it wouldn't be difficult to find a way out.
After I had taken hundreds of thousands of steps, there was still a sea of dazzling stars in front of me. Only then did I stop with a bitter smile.
Even for a star, the universe was too vast.
I had no choice but to sit cross-legged on the spot and continue to absorb the origin of Chaos.
With my current body, when I absorbed the origin of Chaos, the surrounding space would tremble. In the nearby star systems, the originally stable star systems would instantly become chaotic. When I opened my eyes again, I discovered that there were tens of thousands of small suns hanging on my body.
Every sun was a real star. Their planets had completely disappeared. What was left were the stars that looked like fireflies in my eyes, constantly floating around my body.
There were many types of stars in the universe. Although they were all in motion, most of the stars that formed their own systems could basically be seen as static.
Now, these tens of thousands of stars had all become planets, or rather, satellites, that had been captured by my body.
From this point of view, I should have become the largest celestial body in the universe.
According to my previous plan, I would once again attempt to explore the edge of the universe to find a way out.
However, looking at the scene before me, I faintly realized that the direction I was looking for a way out wasn't right.
Just as I stood up, I sat back down again. Without much thought, I closed my eyes and entered a new round of cultivation.
This time, I had completely thrown away the restrictions. I didn't have time to think, nor did I think about the amount of origin of Chaos in my body. I just cultivated numbly and calmly. When I realized that there was no longer any origin of Chaos for me to absorb, I finally opened my eyes again.
Everything had disappeared. There were no small suns, no galaxies or nebulas. Even the surrounding darkness wasn't as pure as before. Instead, it had become misty. Up and down, left and right, front and back, everything had turned into chaos.
In this chaos, I could faintly see some dust fragments, which seemed to be the residue left behind by the previous universe.
Looking at everything in front of me, I opened my mouth and took in a long breath.
The misty chaos, which was wrapped in indistinct specks of dust, entered my mouth as I moved.
In the next second, I exhaled a long breath.
A grey mist appeared from my mouth and dispersed into the surroundings, shattering into starlight.
The starlight was like a dagger of time, which pierced through the void of the universe. Countless dazzling golden rays of light came from the distant sky, forming a sharp sword that sliced the heaven and earth into two.
Below were the rivers and mountains, and above were the sun and stars.
