Li Tianming observed the hundred-thousand-meter crimson sphere before him from within the Real World Dock.
The sphere was dark red throughout, its surface covered in chaotic starlight that shone with the radiance of order. It looked like a tiny universe of order!
Inside this "Nebula Sacrifice," the light was even more brilliant and dazzling, appearing stranger and more fantastical than an Eonic God body.
It was not only Li Tianming now; even Yinghuo and the others had widened their eyes.
Yinghuo flapped its wings. "Good heavens, this thing is fierce! Little Li, it's time to find some snacks. Hurry up and let us recover, then we can swallow this Soul-Hunting Star Dock whole in one bite!"
Li Tianming said helplessly, "You want to swallow the Soul-Hunting Star Dock in one bite? This is a nebula..."
Yinghuo dismissed it. "So what if it's a nebula? If we were like that Chaos Divine Emperor, nine hundred and ninety-nine billion light-years tall, wouldn't swallowing a nebula be as easy as pie? Little Li, sometimes you ought to look for the reason in yourself. Have you been cultivating hard enough?"
Li Tianming was dumbfounded. "Damn."
When he returned to the Guan Zizai Realm, he happened to see the town lord's wife reach out and accept this "Nebula Sacrifice."
She looked at the elder and said, "Once the next batch of Nebula Sacrifices arrives, I'll set off. If any new ones arrive by then, send them to the town lord first."
The elder stroked his purple beard and nodded with a smile. "Done."
The elder did not leave immediately.
Instead, he said somewhat sentimentally, "With our young master's talent, and with our Soul-Hunting Star Dock doing everything in our power to provide Nebula Sacrifices, he must be making more and more of a name
