"Prince!"
It giggled. "I'm a prince now."
"I'm the only one who is a prince."
Pep said, "Others don't know yet!"
"That's good too. That's enough."
It thought for a moment as its synapses flickered. "Come, Pep. As your prince, I want to give you a gift."
The mist that was spreading out between the light and shadow was even more mysterious and enchanting, as if there was really a magnificent colorful lake that was spreading out from the depths of the folds of its mind. In the end, at the center of the lake, the most beautiful flower that Pep had ever seen rose.
"Wow …"
Pep widened her eyes. For a moment, she couldn't tell if the flower was real or fake. She couldn't help but reach out to pluck it. She actually felt the tenderness of the petals and the sharp thorns on the stem. She was slightly shocked. The flower that seemed to be condensed from starlight turned into a stream of light and entered her glabella, slowly blooming in her mind.
"Do you like it?"
It asked expectantly, "This is something that I specially created for you in the waves of my own thoughts. Now, I have transferred it to your memory through the ripples of your brainwaves. Every time you think of me, this bouquet of flowers will bloom in your mind, and it will take a different form every time. It took me a very, very long time to construct such an ever-changing 'Infinite Flower'. Do you like it?"
"… I like it."
Pep did like Shanuya's flower, but she felt a little uneasy.
This was because the Dream Creator's Manual and her father's teachings both said that only dream creators could unilaterally inject information into the depths of the Void Hunter's mind. It was absolutely forbidden for the Void Hunter to interfere with the dream creator's mind.
This time, she would be scolded by her father when she returned.
She might even be nagged by the uncles, aunts, and teachers of the Dream Control Bureau for a long time.
However, Shanuya did not know this rule. It was unintentional. Furthermore, seeing how happy it was, Pep could not bear to tell it the truth now. When she returned to the Dream Control Bureau, those uncles and aunts with powerful mental strength would definitely think of ways to erase the Infinity Flower from her mind without leaving any traces.
At least for now, before the Infinity Flower withered, she would let it bloom for a while!
"Pei-"
It keenly sensed the haze in the depths of the girl's brain and wondered, "Are you unhappy?"
"No, of course not!"
Pepe was a little flustered. "Do you want to hear a new story? The story of the Happy Prince?"
"There's no need. I just want to know the answer as soon as possible. Why do you call me Sanuya?"
It smiled and said, "Please, a little girl who is smarter than Malkina, help me ask!"
…
Pep walked briskly on the surface of its enormous body.
Because of its size and density, it could not provide the large and stable gravity of a planet. Pep only needed to jump lightly to fly into the air, crossing a distance of hundreds of meters before slowly landing.
When the first humans settled on the Void Hunters, they were very unaccustomed to such a chaotic gravity and environment that appeared to be prone to earthquakes at any moment. Many, even generations, had died.
But when it came to Pep's generation, their slender bodies and light footsteps, together with the lightness arts that they had been practicing since they were born, they were perfectly adapted to the activities on the surface of the Void Hunters. Even on the most violently cramping tentacles, they were still walking on the ground.
Looking up, hundreds of meters away from the surface of the Void Hunters, a deep blue mist was floating. It was the artificial atmosphere and the gravitational stabilization field. The amazing spiritual shield turned the surface of the Void Hunters into a suitable home for human beings, sheltering them for countless generations and years. It was not until now that human beings boasted the most advanced technologies to produce interstellar warships and built enormous space cruisers with the Void Hunters as the core, and more than 95% of the population had been moved to the starships that the most solid shield of civilization finally fulfilled its historical mission.
However, many people, like Pep, did not like the life on a starship. They believed that it was too monotonous, cold, and boring. Sleeping on a starship, they could not hear the dozens of different kinds of energy flowing inside the Void Hunter's body, and they could not see the colorful mist spurting out of the spurting holes. The magnificent view was truly too boring.
Jumping over a fold hundreds of meters away, they arrived at the collection area ahead.
Countless pile drivers nearby were driving the nerve-blocking piles into the depths of Shanuya's flesh and blood, cutting off the connection between the flesh and the brain area.
Then, human beings would be able to exploit the waste tissues stored inside Shanuya's body with the most advanced tools. They could even cut off a few of Shanuya's tentacles to build their own starships.
Pep did not like to see such a scene, but what his father said made sense. For a behemoth of Shanuya's scale, harvesting small pieces of flesh and waste tissue from its body was like a human getting a haircut or a manicure. There was no pain, no harm, and even a necessary metabolism.
Shanuya led human beings through the four-dimensional space, searching for space zones and planets with abundant spiritual energy in the entire universe, resisting all kinds of risks, and shattering the enormous planets.
The starships of human beings were responsible for further mining the planet pieces, processing the raw minerals, and delivering the high-purity crystals after the processing to the area where Shanuya swallowed and digested them.
After Shanuya ate the crystals, it would grow a lot of tentacles and useless waste tissues. Then, human beings would mine the things that it could not use as "Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures" for their own training or the production of starships. It was a perfect ecological balance that was mutually beneficial, wasn't it?
Although she agreed with such an approach rationally, Pep still did not like to see the bloody scenes emotionally. Yes, Shanuya's sensory system was different from that of human beings, and it had been injected with abundant nerve-blocking drugs before the collection. It would not feel pain, but Pep would. Every time she saw the bloody collection process, Pep would feel great heartache. The girl herself did not know why.
She could only take a deep breath, speed up, and pass through the collection area. The town made of the debris of dozens of starships in front of her was "New Hope City".
It was said that, a long time ago, when human beings had just escaped from Earth, and their future was uncertain and panicked, a demon named "Wanzanghai" ruled the fleet, slaughtering the creatures, and stirring up trouble.
Later, a great hero named "Tie Xiong" stood out and led the survivors to defeat the demon, opening up a brand-new future.
