Chapter 6 - Eyecatching

It's weird.

It's weird that you can see everything happening inside you.

I'm not complaining, though. I kind of like it. Wouldn't you want to know all the wonders your body does unconsciously?

The difference between a human body and the universe as your body is power. But I’m not worried about becoming corrupted by it. Gaining more power will take time, and I'll adapt. One step at a time.

I've noticed something now. There are already hundreds of galaxies within me. But four of them stand out.

The first one is filled with darkness. It’s empty, no stars or planets. Just complete and utter darkness. I guess I can’t really call it a galaxy, but for convenience, I will.

It reminds me of how I used to see nothing but darkness on Earth. Except when I began to imagine. But even then, my imaginations had no color because I couldn't see.

Back to the galaxies.

The second one is the opposite of the first. Billions of stars and planets exist here. What stands out most is the presence of plant life. Half the galaxy is covered in lush plants and oceans. The other half? It's full of lava, flames, and relentless heat. Two starkly different environments. It’s like heaven and hell. One side with lush plants and clear oceans, the other with barren lands and constant heat.

Funny enough, it's strange to think that not long after becoming the universe, plant life and environments are already forming.

The third galaxy is definitely weird. It’s smaller than the other two, but more condensed, giving it an overwhelming presence. A different kind of energy roams through it. It feels pure, like something out of a novel. The planets have various environments, most resembling Earth. The energy is likely what cultivators use to strengthen themselves. Let’s call it Spiritual Energy.

The fourth galaxy feels like it came straight out of a fairytale. No living beings are present, but it has a magical feel to it. I can imagine wizards, witches, dragons, elves—all kinds of fantasy creatures living here.

When I was little, my mother and sister read me fairytales sometimes, but my friends told me many more. Stories filled with magic, godhood, cultivation, or superheroes. My family did read such stories too, just not as often.

Now, I need to think about my next step. Four different galaxies and countless possibilities.
