At this moment, Yi Tianxing had just completed the meridian charge on his left arm, specifically the Large Intestine Meridian of Hand-Yangming and the Lung Meridian of Hand-Taiyin. With this, the true qi in his body became even more abundant. The True Dragon Qi, in particular, held unique advantages in meridian breakthroughs. Coupled with the continuous replenishment from the power of the stars, the charging process flowed like water, breaking through barriers one after another with natural ease.
The two meridians were fully opened and cleansed, now resembling rivers of white jade.
Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi began to course freely through these pathways. The meridians of the Large Intestine and Lung, on both arms, were now completely connected and interlinked, becoming more mystical and endlessly flowing. The inhalation and exhalation of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi grew even more formidable in both volume and intensity. As it passed through these meridians, the energy naturally nourished the surrounding flesh and internal organs.
These two meridians could now be considered completely mastered. The next step would be to open the remaining twelve main meridians.
Just as he completed the meridian charge, he heard a chorus of shocked exclamations around him.
Startled, Yi Tianxing immediately ended his cultivation and opened his eyes, looking upward.
"The stars… they're growing larger. They're moving—those stars are moving closer to the ground," he observed carefully, and his expression changed. The stars were indeed descending toward the Earth. This was a truly terrifying sight.
"Brother, what do we do now? Those stars really look like they're going to crash down. But we can't even move our bodies. Are we seriously just going to wait here and die?" Zhao Ziyan's face turned pale.
The scene before them was simply too horrifying.
"Don't be afraid. Heaven never seals off all paths. Even in desperate situations, there will always be a thread of hope. The Heavenly Dao would not wipe out humanity entirely. If it granted us opportunities before, it wouldn't now destroy us without reason," Yi Tianxing comforted her.
"Yeah… we can't move right now, so let's just watch carefully," Tang Zitong agreed with a nod.
"What a shame we can't move. Otherwise, Big Brother Yi could check the Heavenless Tome. There might be a record about this—after all, it's already the seventh day," Chen Xuerou said.
"Look! A star is falling!" Li Zhilin shouted.
Swish!!
They saw a star plummet from the sky—a small one. The world within it didn't seem very large, but it was still comparable to the size of China. It streaked down from the sky.
"Ahh! It's going to crash!"
"I'm going to die! This is it—we're done for. I can't believe I'm going to be crushed to death by a star. Not even a body left behind!"
"Wait—nothing's happening? It passed through me... I'm not hurt. Could it be… not a real star? Just a projection?"
At first, panicked screams filled the air, but then people realized: the stars, though appearing to collide with them, caused no harm. They passed right through their bodies, like phantoms or illusions.
Then, a truly unimaginable scene unfolded before their eyes.
That fallen star, upon reaching Earth, didn't crash or explode. Instead, it merged seamlessly with the planet. And Earth… began to grow.
Yes—Earth was expanding. Vast stretches of land appeared out of nowhere: mountains, rivers, forests, animals, oceans—all forming spontaneously. It was as if a massive new section of Earth had been appended in an instant.
And with it came countless life forms—humans, many of them in ancient attire, cities, villages, troops. All appearing in the blink of an eye across many regions.
The Earth's geography began to undergo a dramatic transformation.
"What the hell is going on? Earth… is growing. There are so many people, so many cities, and they look like they're from ancient times. Is this for real?"
Survivors were dumbstruck, completely speechless. It felt like the fabric of reality was being rewritten before their eyes.
Who could imagine rivers and mountains forming out of thin air? Who could fathom billions of humans—clearly from a fantasy world—suddenly appearing on Earth?
The shock was beyond comprehension.
"It's fantasy made real. Each of those stars is a fantasy world, and everything in it—people, objects, terrain—becomes real once it merges with Earth. The world grows, and all life within becomes true, flesh-and-blood existence. This is a world-altering transformation," Yi Tianxing murmured, equally stunned.
His mind thundered with chaotic thoughts. The sight was no less shocking to him than to the others.
Zhao Ziyan and the others stared, mouths agape, eyes full of disbelief.
Swish, swish, swish…!!
More and more stars began falling, rapidly descending toward Earth.
They, too, phased harmlessly through the survivors and merged with the planet, each adding new lands, cities, life forms. The first to fall were the smallest stars, yet even those caused the world to expand.
The sky grew higher, the land grew thicker.
Mountains stretched further. Oceans deepened and widened.
It was as if divine beings were reshaping the world.
Yi Tianxing even spotted among the falling stars visions from folklore—a woodsman throwing an axe into a well, a divine brush bringing paintings to life—incredible scenes from countless legends.
One by one, the stars fell.
Earth was undergoing a visible metamorphosis.
It was like a balloon being inflated—it grew visibly larger with each passing moment. And the beings appearing on Earth? Beyond counting: humans, beastkin, half-beasts, elves, and more—dense, endless masses of life appearing everywhere.
In an instant, Earth had undergone a radical transformation.
New continents and islands formed in the oceans, which themselves were expanding faster than the land. Entire continents looked like tiny islands amidst the endless sea.
And now, after thousands of small stars had merged, the medium-sized stars began falling. In their images, Yi Tianxing saw martial artists, cultivators—entire worlds as large as or larger than the original Earth.
Earth expanded again—crazily.
Even more life forms poured in—monsters, wild beasts, spiritual creatures—each more surreal than the last.
Earth had now grown hundreds or thousands of times its former size. And it wasn't stopping.
In the skies, a layer of astral thunder clouds had formed—a Heavenly Gang Lightning Layer, filled with wind and lightning, destroying even satellites that attempted to ascend.
And as more fantasy worlds fused, the lightning layer became thicker and more domineering.
Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi surged back into the world, pouring into the new lands.
Dragon veins ran through the earth.
Spirit mines emerged from nothingness.
But also appearing were massive numbers of monsters and beasts—manifestations of mankind's negative emotions and desires—so numerous they defied imagination.
Dark passageways briefly flashed into view—gates spewing endless monsters. These vanished quickly, but the images were burned into the survivors' souls.
It was unforgettable.
As more and more stars fell, the survivors could only watch in dumb silence, stunned beyond words.
Earth... was no longer Earth. Its size, nature, and structure had been utterly redefined.
And only a small fraction of the sky's stars had fallen—just the small ones.
The largest worlds, each perhaps ten thousand times larger than Earth, had not yet come.
Under this cataclysmic transformation, humans were like ants.
The original Earth's geography was now completely gone, erased and rewritten.
But some things had been enhanced.
Mount Tai, for example, appeared in many of the falling worlds. As those worlds merged, they stacked atop the real Mount Tai, making it mightier, taller, and more divine—now truly a Sacred Mountain, a Spiritual Peak, a Celestial Summit.
Unfathomable phenomena unfolded before the survivors' eyes.
They were overwhelmed—unable to do anything but watch as the entire world evolved into something new.
