Swallowed Star 2: Land of Origin

”Today, I have had my fill! I shall return another time,” said Luo Feng as he got up. He glanced at a petite woman covered with leaves, who appeared a bit shy. Named ʼAraya,ʼ she was a plant creature from the Land of Origin. Her music had a special charm that stirred Luo Fengʼs emotions the most intensely, far surpassing the other musicians, ”This Musician Araya is very good.”

Saying this, Luo Feng casually threw a grain of sand that seemed ordinary but instantly drew the gaze of many creatures present.

”Cosmic Sand?” the green-robed attendant exclaimed, swiftly adding, ”Supreme one, all expenses tonight at the Dream Flower Tower are on us, you need not...”

”I dislike taking unfair advantage,” Luo Feng stated as he walked out.

Morosa then swept up the nearby wine jug with a wave of his hand and quickly followed Luo Feng, not without glancing at the piece of Cosmic Sand left on the table, ”Since my master has given it, youʼd better accept it quickly.”

The green-robed attendant then picked up the Cosmic Sand, admiring the nascent universe contained within it and marveled.

The nightʼs expenses were actually just over two thousand Primal Chaos Crystals, but Luo Fengʼs piece of Cosmic Sand was worth far more.

”Araya, the Supreme one is very pleased with your music, a reward of 10 Primal Chaos Crystals,” said the green-robed attendant.

”Thank you, Steward Yulu,” the plant creature ʼArayaʼ exclaimed joyfully, bowing in gratitude. The other musicians could only look on with envy; they only received the basic service fee, while Araya obviously won the favor of that eternal true god the most.

At the deepest part of the Dream Flower Towerʼs grand formation lay an unassuming little tower.

A figure in a loose robe stood there, overlooking almost the entire Dream Flower Tower, taking everything in view.

”Master,” said the green-robed attendant respectfully, ”That eternal true god has left, and he also paid with a Cosmic Sand.”

The Dream Flower Tower Master nodded slightly, ”Tell me all his information in detail.”

”Yes,” the green-robed attendant respectfully began, ”His servant had visited us multiple times before, but this unfamiliar eternal true god was here for the first time. He seemed to only care about the music and illusion techniques at the Dream Flower Tower.”

”Those musicians are all true gods of void space, so theoretically, their impact on an eternal true god should be very minimal,” said the green-robed attendant. ”But he seems to really enjoy it.”

”Even to the point of shedding tears upon listening, it is indeed quite inconceivable,” the green-robed attendant, who was also confused, added. ”And from what he said, he will come again.”

With a light smile, the Dream Flower Tower Master said, ”Every creature is unique, this unfamiliar eternal true god may just be more susceptible to emotional fluctuations.”

”If those musiciansʼ illusion techniques have such an influence on him, if the Tower Master were to take action personally...” the green-robed attendant whispered, ”he might develop an ardent obsession with the Tower Master.”

The Dream Flower Tower Master looked out the window.

Over the eons, only two eternal true gods had developed an infatuation with her. After all, eternal true gods have extraordinary wills; even if they get immersed temporarily, they would revert to their senses once the illusion was over. Very few would truly become enamored with her.

”When he comes next time, tell him that I will hold a ʼHundred Flowers Banquetʼ in ten days and invite him to attend,” the Dream Flower Tower Master said softly.

”Yes, Tower Master,” the green-robed attendant replied respectfully.

...

A day in the Land of Origin is very long, and Luo Feng, over the following days, aside from cultivation, was taken by Morosa to various places for different types of consumption, broadening his horizons.

When Luo Feng returned to the Dream Flower Tower, he also received an invitation.

”Supreme,” the green-robed attendant greeted him enthusiastically, ”my Tower Master will host the Hundred Flowers Banquet in ten days. Many eternal true gods from Huyang City will be invited, and the Tower Master has also invited the Supreme to attend.”

”The Dream Flower Tower Masterʼs Hundred Flowers Banquet?” Luo Feng was surprised. ”In ten days?”

”Yes, in ten days! It might be several eras before the Tower Master holds the next Hundred Flowers Banquet,” said the green-robed attendant.
