The Journey of the Pillars of Creation Nebula

"Thank you."

"Thank me for what?"

"Thank you for telling me such a wonderful story and for comforting me. Um, didn't you come here to record the story of the Pillars of Creation?"

"If you don't mind, as a thank you for helping me, I'll take you to see the various scenes of the Pillars of Creation."

"Sure," Artmory responded.

The two began to walk through every corner of the Pillars of Creation, with Stera introducing every detail to Artmory. During the tour, Artmory suddenly asked a question: "By the way... Stera, you are also a living being, so how do you usually replenish your energy? Or can you directly absorb the energy stored in the Pillars of Creation to live?"

Stera stopped and raised one arm, then Artmory felt an intangible energy gathering in Stera's hand, and after the energy gathered sufficiently, Stera swallowed it in one breath.

Artmory: "..."

Stera looked puzzled at Artmory: "Huh? Is it strange? I usually replenish my strength by absorbing the scattered dark energy and dark matter in the universe. But dark matter is relatively scarce around the Pillars of Creation, so most of the time, I can only absorb dark energy.

Artmory: "No, it's not strange. It's just that when you gather dark energy, it's so sci-fi, and then you just swallow the dark energy with your mouth, which I can't react to for a while."

Stera: "..."

As they continued to move forward, the two arrived at the top of the Pillars of Creation.

At the top of the Pillars of Creation, Stera demonstrated how she creates new stars.

"Artmory, look," Stera said, extending her hands into the void. Then, her hands began to emit a faint light, which was proof of her connection with the Pillars of Creation. Stera closed her eyes and took a deep breath; her body began to emit a brighter light. Her connection with the Pillars of Creation seemed to become even tighter at this moment.

The energy of the Pillars of Creation gradually converged between her hands, eventually forming a light ball. This light ball was initially only fist-sized, but as energy continued to converge, it gradually became larger and brighter. This light ball contained extremely high temperatures and pressures, the prototype of a star's birth.

"This is the seed of a star," Stera said, her voice now mixed with a serious tone.

As energy continued to be injected, the light ball became unstable; the pressure and temperature inside reached a critical point. Stera knew it was time to release this star seed into the universe.

She opened her eyes, pushed her hands forward, and sent the light ball into the void. After leaving Stera's hands, the light ball began to expand rapidly; its light became more dazzling, and the temperature and pressure continued to rise.

Under the gaze of Artmory and Stera, the light ball gradually turned into a huge fireball; intense reactions occurred inside, releasing tremendous energy. This process continued until the fireball gradually stabilized and became a new star.

"This is how a new star is born," Stera said, her eyes sparkling with pride and satisfaction.

Artmory gazed at the newborn star, deeply attracted and shocked by this magnificent spectacle. Stera smiled, her gaze filled with anticipation for the future. "Yes, the birth of every star is a breath, a heartbeat of the universe. I am glad to share all of this with you."

The two then continued to stay quietly at the top of the Pillars of Creation for a while, enjoying the moment of tranquility.

Introduction: A wise life form living in the Pillars of Creation, usually responsible for creating new stars.

She also likes to go to the top of the Pillars of Creation to enjoy the entire universe.
