A cocoon.
This was neither Pangu Splits the Heavens nor God giving birth to Hundun.
Amid rapidly collapsing molecular particles, gas and dust formed dense clusters.
A supernova explosion then delivered heavy metallic elements to them, along with hydrogen, helium, and more.
That cocoon.
It was the nursery of a new star, destined to become the Sun.
Liu Di tilted his head slightly.
Then he noticed something strange.
Twin cocoons.
There were two clusters of light inside!
Liu Di's expression shifted slightly. "At this rate, two suns should be born."
Astrophysicists had long theorized this.
The stars of the universe were very likely born in pairs.
But humanity had never imagined that its own home might have been the same?
Of course.
After all, no human other than Liu Di had crossed 4.5 billion years to personally witness the birth of the Solar System.
At that moment.
Liu Di was pondering a question.
Where had the nursery's second star gone?
It clearly had not survived. Otherwise, Earthlings would have been like Peach, who came from a binary star system and possessed a dual personality under the influence of two suns.
Liu Di continued to 'fast-forward' time.
He discovered that over the long course of evolution, the Sun's twin star had been entirely absorbed by the Sun. Before it could emerge from its cocoon, it had dissipated within the gas cloud.
Liu Di suddenly understood.
Creation and destruction were merely two sides of the same coin.
The Sun had not been born alone.
As it grew, it killed its own brother.
Yet Liu Di always felt that the dead star had become like a soul. Though its energy had dispersed, it still drifted through the air as if invisible.
Even 4.6 billion years later, it still existed.
Many people on Earth
