The fae can seamlessly merge with Falling Star City, appearing from places that resemble pavements, streetlights, and walls. On the surface, it seems like ordinary play, but from Ian’s perspective, when observed macrocosmically, it’s like a gigantic fairy breathing in sleep, inhaling and exhaling the energy of the Starfall Sea, constantly growing and expanding.

The entire Falling Star City also gives Ian a sense of familiarity.

"Giant fairy? A real-world Voidrealm Machine God? Artificial Fairy Mech God? Giant Silver Fairy?" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Since it was the fae’s own territory, Ian no longer pretended, eagerly observing his surroundings and speculating, "Or is this the fae’s attempt at resurrecting the Star God?"

[Marvelous, Ian!] Not only was the Fairy Queen surprised, but even the Fourth Level fairy mentors who came to greet Ian looked at each other in admiration: [You actually guessed them all correctly!]

"All of them?" Now Ian was somewhat confused: "No, wait, what does this mean?"

[It means] said the fairy mentor ’Qi Ju’, with glowing orange long hair, explaining: [We’ve tried all those things!]

[Initially, I indeed wanted to use the power of the Light Element Furnace to attempt to create a small Star God] The Fairy Queen said, quite proudly, thumbs up: [Unfortunately, it didn’t work. The soul of the Star God is very special; it cannot be naturally nurtured using the same power, and the huge spirit energy entity has no self-awareness.]

[Next] ’Jianbi’, a fairy mentor with short silver hair and glasses, pushed her glasses seriously, saying: [We thought since it failed, let’s recycle the resources and see if we can use this as a foundation, add many fae’s remnants, and create a Great Fairy!]

[Unfortunately] ’Yi Huo’, the fairy mentor burning with blue-purple flames, shook her head: [We tried all fae catalysis methods, even the Silver Fairy closest to artificial creations couldn’t do it—the prototype of Falling Star City still lacked self-awareness. Even if it’s a mountain made of so many fae remnants, it should’ve transformed.]

[In the end] ’Dong Xi’, dressed in a luxurious ice-crystal gown, white hair and red eyes, like a princess, raised a finger and shook it: [We tried writing some programs for it—since it has no self, let’s use it as a tool.]

[Thus, Falling Star City was born.]

The sudden appearance of four Fourth Level, even peak Fourth Level fairy mentors proves Falling Star City’s strong power and the deep heritage of the Fairy Clan, which is absolutely not inferior to any major power in Terra.

However, Ian felt that beneath the fae’s seemingly carefree surface, they had never given up on pursuing their desired future.

The fae’s life is indeed relaxed and joyful, carefree, and even a bit frivolous, but this is all just a façade.

Ian understands better than anyone that the essence of fae can actually be described in a single word.

’Sincerity.’

When wanting to eat, they eat; when wanting to play, they play—even if rolling around with Light Grating Fungi would make them laughed at, swallowed by big fish, and pulled out as a laughingstock, they do it because they want to.

Moreover, when they want to eat, they eat seriously; when they want to play, they play seriously. Thus, once they want to work and achieve their goals, they treat everything with utmost sincerity.

Just like now.

[This technique is actually the method of creating a Voidrealm Machine God!] The Fairy Queen proudly points to the silver giant city where all the fae live: [Compared to the craftsmanship of the previous epoch, the craftsmanship of our fae today is more refined.]

[I call it ’Spirit Casting Machine.’ Although it is not yet perfect, as Falling Star City becomes more robust and more fae live here, I believe that just like how Voidrealm Machine Gods develop self-awareness, Falling Star City will ultimately develop self-awareness and become a new ’City Fairy!’]

[By then, ’Spirit Casting Machine’ could be called ’God Casting Machine!’]

"Remarkable! I dare say, even if it isn’t perfect, this is definitely the most powerful secret technique on Terra Continent today." Ian applauded sincerely, surveying Falling Star City: "And if you truly can create a ’City Fairy’... it means you’ve touched the true authority of the Star God, Heavenly Father!"

"You could create life from nothing, becoming the new ’Creator’!"

[Heh heh heh, it’s not that impressive, honestly.]

His sincere praise made the surrounding fae somewhat giddy. For fae, praise doesn’t need complex words; heartfelt acknowledgment is enough to make them joyous: [It’s just creating a new fairy. We still can’t create other material life or a perfect, more powerful fairy ascension form, creating a God of Fairies... we’re still far from it!]

[Yeah, calling it a God Casting Machine is really just for the name.]

The Fairy Queen also smiled, but afterward, she flipped her hair, becoming serious: [However, even a crude, unperfected Spirit Casting Machine isn’t something ordinary fae can learn—the few young ones here haven’t fully grasped it, despite their presence!]

[I learned to process souls!] Qi Ju raised her hand.

[I can write life programs.] Jianbi pushed her glasses.

[I learned to create life force.] Yi Huo smiled proudly.

[I will find bugs.] Dong Xi sighed deeply.

[Look] The Fairy Queen said disappointedly: [One can only create a soulless ephemeral spirit, one can create void machine gods, one can animate the lifeless, and one... one can help me find bugs.]

At this point, the joyful Fairy Queen pulled Dong Xi over and gave her a hard kiss, making the cold-looking Frost Fairy blush—but the Fairy Queen’s words immediately made her face pale: [Alright, cutie, I want to take our Silver Summit Great Prophet to the Light Element Furnace, you help me with some overtime.]

[Eh—Mom?]

Dong Xi hadn’t reacted yet; she reached out, but the Fairy Queen and Ian had disappeared, leaving behind a winter-like lament: [Why is it like this?!]

"Is it okay to leave them like this?"

Ian quite enjoyed watching such scenes. He wanted to see the three-character beauty pull on the Fairy Queen’s robe corner acting spoiled, saying she didn’t want to work overtime—unfortunately couldn’t witness it.

[Your reputation is too great; if you stay at the plaza for a while longer, a big gathering centered around you will start, and then you, as the main character, might not be able to escape for ten days or half a month.]

The Fairy Queen was well-versed and unconcerned, her child doing overtime for her, revealing a joyful curve at the corner of her mouth as she took Ian deep into Falling Star City: [Let’s head straight to the Light Element Furnace. It’s only there that I can teach you the ’Spirit Casting Machine.’]

[That’s the technique I used to create Voidrealm Machine Gods and also to shape the Light Element Furnace!]

—Speaking bluntly, she wanted to skip work, which explains the enthusiasm at Silverpeak Domain!

Ian grumbled internally, but he didn’t mind the efficiency.

Traveling inside Falling Star City felt like swimming in sticky glue; although laborious, there was an inexplicable force pushing people forward.

The fae’s aura was incredibly dense, and even originally, the Fairy Queen just wanted to revive a Star God, or at least a Star God Fetus. But with the sediment of countless fae’s discarded old bodies, the entire Falling Star City had a higher fae content.

Ian vaguely heard whispers, an undulating wave with no meaning or purpose... it seemed like the heartbeat of Falling Star City.

The birth of the ’City Fairy’ might be very near.

And the Light Element Furnace is the heart of this living fae city.

A swirl of pure white, the Light Element Furnace.
