The Awakened Heavenly Eye's Visible Subspace Nodes and the "Hollowification" They Gave Rise To

Episode 7 of " Stellaris and Glimmer "

[The day the Brass Council trial concluded]

[Late at night, inside a villa in Upper City ]

" Tiandao, are you sure you want to do this?"

Chen Xing looked at Tiandao, who was still deep in thought while facing the chessboard, and asked him curiously.

Upon hearing this, Tiandao, whose mind was Tiandao focused on the game of chess, replied casually, "What's there to be sure about now that it's already done?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tiandao's eyes, which were fixed on the chessboard, suddenly lit up.

That's it!

He picked up his Black Pieces and, in a very stylish manner, placed it heavily in the center of the board, forming a unique five-in-a-row.

"Xing, you lost!"

The Tiandao looked up at Chen Xing, its azure eyes filled with smugness.

However, Chen Xing, who had always thought they were playing Go, froze instantly upon hearing Tiandao's shameless "declaration of victory".

She stared at Tiandao, who had a mischievous grin on his face, and her strong competitive spirit made her immediately make a decision based on her 'intuition'.

"I lost?"

As Chen Xing repeated softly, her slender fingertips casually traced the edge of the chessboard.

The next second, several tiny, crimson flames suddenly covered the Black Pieces of the Tiandao Dao.

And to his astonishment, a patch of charred ash was left on the chessboard.

" Tiandao, where are your pawns?"

Tiandao clutched his chest, feigning injury, and leaned back.

"Hey, who plays Connect Four and burns all of the opponent's pieces with fire? You're cheating!"

Faced with Tiandao's accusation, Chen Xing imitated his childhood rogue manner and said righteously, "But I clearly remember that someone didn't say Gomoku at the beginning, but Go."

Seeing that Chen Xing had even learned to be shameless after growing up, Tiandao immediately pulled out his ultimate trump card.

"Okay, then we're done playing, it's a draw!"

If you can't beat someone, flip the table—that's a move that Tiandao is all too familiar with!

Chen Xing rolled his eyes at Tiandao, too lazy to argue with this 'childish brat'.

However, this way of Tiandao brought back rare memories of her childhood.

Six years has certainly changed many things and many people.

But it seems that, apart from its outward appearance, nothing in the Tiandao has changed.

He was still as arrogant and unrestrained as he was when he was a child, and he still couldn't take his eyes off her.

Thinking of this, Chen Xing's gaze unconsciously lingered on the special marks in his azure eyes.

"Speaking of which, your Star Mark is in your eye, right?"

"Hmm, what's wrong?"

Tiandao leaned back on the sofa, looking relaxed and carefree, completely unaware of the 'danger'.

Before Tiandao could react, Chen Xing suddenly grabbed his collar and pulled him close to him.

Her sudden action nearly brought their noses together.

The two were so close that Tiandao could even see his own reflection in her crimson pupils.

And the faint, sweet fragrance emanating from her hair, mingled with the scent of Bloodflame.

However, this situation made Tiandao somewhat uncomfortable.

He instinctively tried to back away, but Chen Xing held him even tighter.

"Don't move."

Although Chen Xing's eyelashes trembled slightly, her tone was incredibly firm.

It was as if she was telling the Tiandao that she was only observing his Star Mark and had no other intentions.

If he thinks so, then it's just his opinion.

This has disrupted the Tiandao.

For a moment, they were caught in an awkward situation: neither retreating nor staying was an option.

Fortunately, Chen Xing seems to understand the principle that too much of a good thing can be bad.

She loosened Tiandao's collar and casually tucked the hair behind her ear to cover her slightly reddened earlobes.

" Tiandao, this is the first time I've ever heard of Star Mark being in a person's eyes."

In response, Tiandao seemed to have grasped at a straw and quickly continued the conversation along this line.

"Although Star Core is not as unique as Star Source, there are always exceptions, aren't there?"

"Um."

Chen Xing nodded, then asked, "If that's the case, then your Stellar Eclipse Heavenly Eye must have some other abilities now, right?"

"After all, after my Bloodflame awakened, it gave me the ability to convert flames and blood into each other, allowing me to transform the Karma Fire released with star energy into Bloodflame, which can quickly heal my injuries."

At this point, Tiandao simply showed Chen Xing the effects of his Stellar Eclipse Heavenly Eye after awakening.

An ability called ' Stellar Eclipse Space '.

Under Chen Xing's curious gaze, Tiandao's fingers traced a line in front of him.

A Subspace rift appeared before the Tiandao.

Then, Tiandao reached in and took out a bottle of Blue Mountain City soda.

And the bottle of soda was still emitting cold air.

It is clearly in a different time dimension than the real world.

"A visible subspace Space Node —this is the effect of my Stellar Eclipse Heavenly Eye awakening."

"And combined with my own Vector Control, I am able to briefly create a stable Subspace."

"The principle is simple: I unzipped a zipper with my hand and then put my hand in the pocket behind the zipper."

Although the Tiandao's description of its own ' Stellar Eclipse Space ' is quite ordinary.

However, Chen Xing, with his outstanding combat talent, immediately recognized the terrifying nature of this ability.

"So, the distance you opened up in the Stellar Eclipse Space should be the maximum distance of your Vector Control, right?"

"However, due to the special nature of the Subspace, any real-world object will obscure this part of the node, making it impossible for you to 'touch' it directly. Therefore, you should not use this ability as an over-the-top attack method for the time being."

"But"

Chen Xing paused, then looked into Tiandao's eyes and said seriously, "But if you treat it as an ordinary means of defense or evasion, then the versatility of your ability is quite astonishing."

"Because as your abilities improve, in the future you will be able to achieve a similar effect to 'perfect evasion' by briefly entering and exiting the Subspace, ignoring all attacks on the real plane."

Slap! Slap!

The Tiandao clapped its hands to show its approval of Chen Xing's remarks.

Because she accurately described her future concept of ' Phasing '.

Although the Tiandao needs to wait for him to achieve another Star Core Awakening before it can fully realize the ability of ' Phasing '.

However, this does not prevent it from being an extraordinary approach comparable to the ' All-Encompassing System ', possessing Infinity potential.

After learning what he wanted to know, Chen Xing got straight to the point.

"Alright, Tiandao, let's get down to business. I've completed the task you asked me to do, but General President?"

"As you know, the rule that the General President set from the very beginning is to prevent Star Envoy interfering in the affairs of ordinary people."

"Don't worry, Xing, that old geezer Enit is even more insightful than you think."

Tiandao leaned back on the sofa, his face radiating confidence, as if he had completely outmaneuvered Enit.

"He doesn't hate that the Star Envoy interfere with ordinary people; he hates that the Star Envoy their supernatural powers to wantonly destroy the lives of ordinary people."

"Conversely, if what the Star Envoy does is good for most ordinary people, then Enit will not only not be angry, but will also tacitly allow such things to happen."

"In this respect, our Current Strongest Star Envoy of this era is far more adaptable than you think."

After saying this, Tiandao looked out the window at the Upper City the Steam Capital city, now shrouded in night, and said meaningfully, "If you want this rotten and stagnant place to change and progress, you must first replace the rotten wood inside and burn away the termites."

"As a price for helping renovate this house, it's reasonable for me to charge a handling fee, right?"

"Therefore, even if Enit finds out, he won't be able to find any fault with me. So don't worry, everything is under control."

Chen Xing sighed softly, "Fine, it's your decision. You've always been like this, never changing your mind for anyone."

Upon hearing this, Tiandao instinctively blurted out, "Xing, you actually know me so well? You haven't been secretly observing me all this time, have you?"

But as soon as he finished speaking, Tiandao realized that something bad had happened.

Seizing the opportunity, Chen Xing immediately raised her head and said in an extremely serious tone, "Yes, I have been observing you for the past eight years, and I have never stopped."

At this point, Chen Xing suddenly leaned forward and whispered, "Do you hate this?"

Faced with Chen Xing's zero-frame attack, Tiandao, who could even react to bullets, was completely unable to react and had to hurriedly look away.

"There's no such thing as liking or disliking someone, as long as you're happy."

Seeing Tiandao's evasive action, the light in Chen Xing's eyes visibly dimmed.
