Definition Fluid seeped from the skin of his fingertip in liquid form rather than as pulses. It was viscous, like melted amber retaining its flowing resilience at a suitable temperature.
As it seeped out, the temperature of the Definition Fluid matched the surface temperature of the Grand Collection Point, producing no heat transfer from any temperature difference. The liquid's surface tension held it in a continuous thin stream as it dripped from his fingertip into the opening.
He controlled the flow of Definition Fluid with his will, injecting it into the opening at a rate of roughly half a drop per breath.
As the droplets entered the opening, their edges naturally adhered to the fibers of the opening's walls, neither overflowing nor seeping through.
He counted his breaths to control the total amount, stopping after injecting around ten drops.
The Definition Fluid naturally spread through the gap, its edges advancing evenly in every direction, like water leveling itself in a container with a flat bottom. Once the liquid surface touched all four walls of the gap, it climbed along them until it reached the same height as the upper edge of the opening's walls, then stopped flowing. The diameter of the liquid surface matched the length of the opening, its color even and leaning toward neither side.
After the liquid surface leveled out, Chu Ming began moving his index fingertip roughly a hair's breadth above it.
His fingertip did not touch the liquid surface. It merely traced a path across it from an extremely short distance away, leaving faint indentations in its wake. What he inscribed was a brief record of laws, appearing upon the liquid surface in the form of those indentations. Their lines formed with steady depth and width, like strokes carved into soft wax by a graver:
