What they were referring to, of course, was the magnificent blue giant on the seventh orbit of the Tianshu system, radiating a warm, splendid glow.
Before the epic campaign against the Leviathan, that magnificent giant had been the most beautiful planet in the system, far more dazzling than the pale Tianshu star, which flickered and trembled as if it were about to go out. It was filled with a profound, mysterious sense of rhythm.

According to Xiaobai and the others' reports, after the Starplanter appeared, the blue shell surrounding Tianshu 7 continued burning for over a month. Its boiling, scorching light had at one point outshone the sun of the Tianshu system, which had not yet fully awakened.
