Chapter 22 Awakening
Chapter 22 Awakening
A humanoid mechanical figure in light blue appeared before Chen Feng. Following the memories in his mind, Chen Feng was certain that this figure was the creator of the Cosmic Star God World, the Creator God—Otan!
"Otan, you're not dead!" Chen Feng exclaimed in surprise.
Otan: "..."
Ignoring Chen Feng's joke, Otan stared at Chen Feng and slowly said, "Greetings, being created by miracles. My true form has already transformed into all things in the universe. What remains here is merely a wisp of my true form's will."
Chen Feng had anticipated this explanation. In the original work, the Galaxy Star was essentially a conscious entity that could choose who could use it and guide Gaia and others to find their companions. He didn't believe there wasn't something fishy going on.
More importantly, in the end of the original story, Gaia was transformed into the Flame Star God under the influence of the Galaxy Star. So, can you guess why the Galaxy Star has Apollo's power?
"Uh, hello." Seeing how serious the other person was, and considering their status, Chen Feng couldn't joke around and became serious as well.
Chen Feng looked at Otan: "I understand what you mean. So, you lured me here for the Galaxy Star?"
"Exactly." Otan's thoughts were calm and undisturbed. "The Galaxy Star carries a portion of my will and power; it was originally intended as a link to maintain peace in the universe."
"However, unfortunately, I was wrong." Otan's tone was somewhat helpless as he said this.
"I understand Saron's actions but I am also angry. Unfortunately, I have become part of the universe, so I can only hope that Apollo can lead the star gods to correct Saron's thinking."
"Was this your original plan? That's why you chose Dilu? So what's the situation now?" Chen Feng nodded; these were all things from the original story.
"That's exactly what I wanted to say." Otan ignored Chen Feng's interruption and continued, "As you said, that was my original thought."
"But when I saw you, I changed my mind."
As he spoke, Otan looked at Chen Feng and said, "Your companion seems to be following the path of mechanics. I despise creations without intelligence, so I chose you, a being created by miracles."
Chen Feng nodded thoughtfully. Simply put, Angel Yan was disliked. Thinking about this, Chen Feng wanted to laugh. He didn't expect that he would be disliked by Otan just because of the path he took.
But then Chen Feng had some doubts. He had thought that Otan called him a being created by miracles because he and Angel Yan had traveled from another time, but now it seemed different.
"Otan, why do you call me a being created by miracles?" As the saying goes, if you don't understand, you should ask. Chen Feng asked in confusion.
Then, Otan simply looked at Chen Feng without explaining, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Sigh~ Never mind." Seeing that Otan wasn't going to explain, Chen Feng gave up and then asked, "So, what are you going to do?"
Otan explained, "The Galaxy Star caused the Star Gods to fall apart, which is something I didn't want to see, but apart from me, neither Apollo nor the others had the ability to destroy the Galaxy Star. I can only keep making up for my mistakes."
After a pause, Otan continued, "And your arrival has provided me with a second way."
"So you're planning to have us take Galaxy Star out of your universe?" Chen Feng asked.
Otan nodded.
"But aren't you afraid that the Galaxy Star will also bring disaster to other universes?" Chen Feng asked, puzzled. From their previous conversation and his memories from his past life, Otan was not a ruthless person.
Would a powerful being capable of creating a universe simply stand by and watch their power bring destruction to other worlds?
Otan shook his head: "I've considered what you said, but I trust Gaia's choice."
"Huh?" Chen Feng was taken aback. There was something about Gaia?
Otan chuckled softly, looking back at the universe: "Gaia was one of my earliest creations, and also my child."
"Inside the Galaxy Star, although I cannot move, I can still see everything that happens outside. What you have done may not be called benevolent, but it is by no means evil either."
"Gaia chooses to believe that you will not be brainwashed by the Galaxy Star, so I also believe that you can control this power."
Chen Feng nodded: "By the way, I still don't know what the power of the Galaxy Star is. Gaia said it can dominate the entire universe? Is it your ability to create and destroy worlds?"
Upon hearing this, Otan couldn't help but chuckle and shook his head, saying, "The Galaxy Star originally possessed this ability, but after its main body transformed into the universe, this ability fell into dormancy. I don't know if it can be awakened again."
"And what I want to give you is this." Otan slowly raised his arm of light, pointing it towards Chen Feng's heart.
"I will place the core and power of the Galaxy Star within your body."
As Otan spoke, Chen Feng felt the warmth that had been present in his chest since swallowing the Galaxy Star suddenly become clearer and more surging, as if a miniature cosmic star had been lit up inside him.
"As a testament to and gift to this entrustment," Otan's voice continued, carrying a profound wisdom, "I bestow upon you a part of my primordial power—'Enlightenment'."
"'Spirit Awakening'?" Chen Feng asked, puzzled.
"To imbue inorganic things with consciousness, to give cold creations emotions," Otan explained. "This is one of the cornerstones of creation, the power to give inanimate matter the ability to perceive, understand, and even respond."
"It is not simply about enlightening life, but about awakening the 'potential' hidden within matter itself, enabling it to have basic perception and emotional feedback."
"Using it requires your own mindset and energy as guidance. Use it with caution and with wisdom."
A mysterious flow of information instantly flooded into Chen Feng's mind.
He felt as if he had touched the edge of "creation" and understood how to ignite the invisible spark of "spirituality".
"Alright, that's enough for now. This is another world after all, so I won't bother you any longer."
After saying that, Otan's consciousness seemed to have lost all its energy, and without any support, it vanished before Chen Feng's eyes.
At the same time, it was also at this moment that Chen Feng completely acquired ownership of Galaxy Star.
"What an amazing encounter!"
Chen Feng could feel that he had completely grasped this small world, and only by reaching this position could he truly appreciate how vast this world was; it was practically indistinguishable from a real galaxy.
Chen Feng strolled to the spot where Otan had just stood, looked at the stars in front of him, and a thought struck him.
Chen Feng's consciousness instantly returned to reality.
