Talk of oil seething over a raging fire or wild grass burning to ash was not quite accurate. When Jing Jiu placed that white stone condensed from consciousness in the sky, it was more like someone tossing a pebble into the lake in the Thousand-Li Wind Corridor.
Waves rose on the lake, sending ripple after ripple in every direction, though they would eventually subside somewhere.
The white stone did just that, bringing the surrounding stones tumbling down and shattering, out to several hundred meters away.
The remaining black and white stones were entirely unaffected, still hovering quietly in their places.
The process looked less like the destruction of stones than a sudden collapse of space.
"What was that?" Flower Creek asked, looking at the space left behind by the fallen stones.
Naturally, she meant the white stone Jing Jiu had placed from a distance.
Looking at that spot, Jing Jiu said, "A supernova."
To be precise, it was a supernova that had erupted ahead of time, with far greater power than previously calculated.
The supernova's violent explosion spewed out unimaginable quantities of light and heat, shaking and distorting that region of the universe and triggering many chain reactions. Calculating this process clearly was, of course, extremely difficult-one could even call it impossible. Even a rough calculation on the macroscopic level would require a supercomputer to run for a very long time.
From his arrival aboard the Blazing Sun Warship and the setting up of the game to the placement of the stone, Jing Jiu had merely closed his eyes and thought for a while.
By rights, this was something worth marveling at, yet Flower Creek gently shook her head.
The black stones represented the Dark Matter Sea floating in the space of the galaxy group, while the white stones were
