...
Early morning. Leaves fell in flurries.
Late autumn had passed, and winter was on its way.
In his dorm room, Gao Neng carefully sensed the changes in his bones. The silvery specks of light that had originally dotted his skeleton were now as dense as the Galaxy.
This galaxy was continuously fusing with his bones.
'Soon!'
'Soon!'
'Just a little bit more and the fusion will be complete.'
Gao Neng felt a sense of urgency. Time was running out.
Just then, a figure slowly stood up from the bed. She had short, silver-white hair and a pair of large, deep blue eyes.
She didn't disturb Gao Neng.
Instead, she gently extended a hand, holding it over his back.
A faint, silvery-white radiance slowly seeped from her hand, trickling into Gao Neng's body, like drops of water into a desert.
Five minutes passed.
