Inside the pillar of golden-pink light on the white diamond-ice balcony, fourteen-year-old Jiang Tuntun spun in a happy little circle. Meanwhile, her [Giant Golden-Yellow Duckling Feast Bib] and her twin hair-buns shone with transcendent cosmic warmth.
All four point two quintillion gallons of the purified Primordial Ocean of Grimdark Despair—along with the digested essence of the Half-Step Rank 10 Despair-Ink Leviathan—had finished merging into her pocket-galaxy belly.
Behind Jiang Tuntun’s small shoulders, a magnificent, twelve-colored Cornucopia & Warm-Bowl Cosmic Halo bloomed into permanent manifestation, surrounded by orbiting projections of steaming soup tureens, golden rice stalks, and sweet boba pearls!
Her cultivation officially stepped across the supreme threshold from Rank 9 Peak into Half-Step Rank 10: Cosmic Benevolent Gluttony & Universal Abundance Guardian!
Under her newly awakened Half-Step Rank 10 law, wherever Jiang Tuntun walked, famine and spiritual drought were permanently abolished. Even barren asteroids would sprout sweet potatoes and warm freshwater springs at a single pat of her hand!
“Tuntun got her big shiny halo too!” eleven-year-old Little Fifth cheered. Hopping off the pile of Grade-10 Origin Spirit Stones he had been helping Grandpa Fu sweep up and flying over to high-five his fourth sister with both hands.
“Now Mom, Third Brother Ye Xiao, Second Sister Nuannuan, Fourth Sister Tuntun, and I are all Half-Step Rank 10! Only Eldest Brother Nian’er is left!”
