Wandering (4)

When Ning Ye spoke those words, he was still tens of millions of miles away. By the time his voice fell, he was already above that devoured star realm.

Beneath his feet, endless land had transformed into a vast, surging tide flowing toward the sky, forming an earthen bridge stretching over a million miles and connecting directly to that small star realm.

With a "greedy" appetite, the small star realm was devouring the greater star realm like a ravenous Taotie. Yet no matter how much it swallowed, its own size did not increase, as if it were a bottomless pit—only its mass grew ever heavier.

But at this rate, to swallow it all completely would still take at least a thousand years.
