"Earth."
"One of the 1.27 million celestial bodies in the Solar System."
"And the Sun is merely one of the 200 billion stars in the Milky Way Galaxy."
"And in the entire universe, there are at least 2 trillion galaxies."
As Liu Zhengqing spoke, he looked at Liu Di beside him. "Tell me, how insignificant must humanity be? From another perspective, how narrow must humanity's cognitive awareness be?"
Liu Di stared at the magnificent scene before him, formed from countless stars, and felt deeply shaken.
He said, "Are you sure this is the real universe and not something you conjured through meditation?"

Liu Zhengqing raised a hand and pointed into the distance.
There was a brilliantly colored galaxy there, resembling a nautilus shell covered in spiraling patterns.
Of course.
It might span tens of thousands of light-years, containing hundreds of millions of Sun-like stars and countless planets.
Liu Zhengqing said, "It is the interacting galaxy ARP194, and it is about to collide with a smaller disk galaxy."
Liu Di narrowed his eyes.
In the blink of an eye, the two enormous galaxies began to collide. The nebulae around them turned red, like blazing flames twisting around one another.
They each became a spinning vortex, resisting the other's powerful gravitational pull.
It was difficult to imagine the collisions of massive celestial bodies taking place within them—countless planets being destroyed, violent energy spilling outward, stars dying, space collapsing.
Yet from a distance of countless billions of light-years away, Liu Di could see only two magnificent clusters of red fireworks.
In an instant.
The centers of the two galaxies joined together, merging into a massive vortex-shaped galaxy.
The surrounding nebulae slowly shifted
