G1 creates his thought. Then he creates the wave-path that will carry it toward Aeren.
Aeren has created several realizations before this moment, but he has not created any path to share them, so nothingness dissolves each one completely as soon as it forms. They exist only within him—fleeting, meaningless, forgotten by the void itself.
G1's created thought reaches Aeren, and Aeren creates the act of receiving it. Then he reads the meaning contained within G1's creation.
G1's answer speaks:
"CosmoSpiens have seven realms within ourselves. I do not yet know the later realms, so I cannot say whether they truly exist or not. But there are seven Main Realms that allow CosmoSpiens to exist here in nothingness. Without these realms, we would dissolve before gaining consciousness. Let me explain:
First Realm: Universe Awareness Realm
In this realm, we gain consciousness and recognize our authority over the universe within us. This realm requires dark energy, dark matter, stars, and planets—the fundamental building blocks of existence. Nothingness creates CosmoSpiens already holding these things inside them, so every CosmoSpien begins at the initial stage of the Universe Awareness Realm from birth. We need only to create the realization of our own existence, and consciousness awakens. A CosmoSpien becomes aware of their universe the moment they deliberately create that awareness."
G1's thought ends. Aeren reads the meaning of his creation and lets it dissolve, but not before the significance passes through him completely.
Now he understands: Nothingness creates CosmoSpiens already possessing consciousness—but true awareness only happens when they deliberately create the realization of that consciousness.
Aeren does not create anything. He simply remains still, waiting. G1 begins creating his next thoughts, preparing to share the second Main Realm, or perhaps revealing which realm he himself inhabits.
Aeren compiles the thoughts G1 has sent him. He creates the act of receiving them, then deliberately breaks apart the created thought and path himself, erasing them before nothingness dissolves them naturally. He takes control of what dissolves and what remains.
Then Aeren begins reading the next creation from G1—the explanation of the Second Main Realm. G1 creates a new thought, creates the path for it, and sends it toward Aeren.
Aeren receives it:
"Well, I have not yet created this realm myself. I do not have complete control over all the stars and planets within me—it is quite embarrassing to admit. Let me explain the next realm:
Second Realm: Universal Structure Control Realm
In this realm, a CosmoSpien can control their stars, planets, and galaxies. We can reshape planets, move celestial bodies, and place them anywhere to achieve a perfect structure for our universe. Once the structure becomes perfect enough, creation inside that universe happens naturally—without needing constant action or intervention. I am close to creating this realm, but I need more deliberate creation to complete it fully."
The created thought ends, and Aeren lets it dissolve after reading it completely.
Aeren creates a new realization: 'So G1 is creating all of this thought because he wants to achieve his breakthrough. That is why he is creating this conversation—it is feeding his expansion. That is why he continues speaking. He wants to reach the Second Realm, and our exchange gives him something to build upon. Well... it does not matter to me.'
The realization dissolves as soon as its meaning finishes forming. Aeren remains beside G1, still on the Universe-Mountain, existing without needing to create his own existence.
G1 pauses for a moment. He remains completely still—yet with every creation he makes, his existence expands deeper into the nothingness. The void accepts every creation he produces. Because its emptiness welcomes all creation, it rewards him with expansion, with growth, with the ability to become larger.
Aeren observes this phenomenon clearly.
He creates a new realization: 'Nothingness supports creation. It accepts all creation because of its own emptiness. And as a reward, it grants expansion to the one who creates. Creation feeds on nothingness, and nothingness rewards creation.'
This realization forms after Aeren witnesses G1's expansion spreading deeper into the nothingness, reaching farther, touching more of the void.
Aeren can see this clearly with his Eyes of Emptiness—a sight given to him by nothingness itself, not created by him through deliberate effort.
Aeren could create sight if he wished. He has the power to do so. But nothingness has already rewarded him first with empty eyes because he is not a creation of nothingness. He is something else entirely.
Aeren then forms another realization:
'But I dislike these Eyes of Emptiness. They are trapped within endless emptiness. They only want to see creation. They hunger for it. They demand it. They will never be satisfied.'
He does not send this realization to G1. It dissolves once its meaning completes, absorbed back into the void.
At that moment, G1 finishes creating his next thought. Aeren creates the act of receiving it and allows his previous realizations to dissolve completely into the void. Then he begins reading the new creation that G1 has formed.
G1 creates his next thought, shapes its meaning carefully, creates the path, and sends it toward Aeren. Aeren creates the act of receiving and begins reading. G1's thought speaks:
"Third Realm: Cosmic Energy Circulation Realm
In this realm, a CosmoSpien can create their own nebula cloud. From that nebula, creation can form new stars, new planets, and other cosmic structures endlessly. When the nebula creates new stars, a CosmoSpien can allow galaxies to collide with each other, creating new galaxies from the collision—more refined, more stable, more magical than before.
Within such galaxies, beings inside the universe can cultivate power and travel across their cosmos freely. When a CosmoSpien reaches this realm, they no longer need to rely on conscious creation inside nothingness. Within themselves, their creation becomes infinite—an endless cycle of creation and destruction happening simultaneously. But even then—even with infinite creation occurring within them—in nothingness, the CosmoSpien must still deliberately create each moment. The internal infinity does not exempt us from the burden of nothingness."
G1 ends his thought and allows the created explanation to dissolve after Aeren receives it completely. Aeren remains beside him, reading the meaning as the path and thought fade back into nothingness.
Aeren creates a small twitch in his eyes—a created expression, a deliberate mimicry of surprise. He shows emotion through creation, demonstrating understanding.
He does not create a new thought to interrupt G1. He simply lets G1 continue. G1 creates his next thought, forms the path, and sends it toward Aeren. Aeren receives it.
G1's created explanation speaks:
"Fourth Realm: Universe-Body Synchronization Realm
Fifth Realm: Universal Law Creation Realm
Sixth Realm: Universal Soul Expansion Realm
Seventh Realm: Universe Sovereign Realm
These are the final four realms of existence. But I do not know anything about them yet. My knowledge cannot reach that far. I am only at the Perfect Universe Awareness Realm, and these four realms remain too distant for me to comprehend anything about their creation or nature."
G1's thought ends. He lets the creation dissolve. He becomes still again, and no further creation appears from him.
Aeren looks at G1 with the Eyes of Emptiness, seeing the colorless head clearly—the part of G1 that always tries to resemble nothingness itself. It watches and waits, as if it understands something the rest of his form does not.
Aeren creates a thought and a path for it, and sends it toward G1:
"Is that all? You do not know anything beyond that? And your head—why does it appear colorless, as if it is trying to match nothingness itself? What does it mean?"
As he finishes sending the thought, Aeren creates something new: a paintbrush. It is dark and simple, made of shadows, with black ink residing within its bristles. He creates this tool deliberately, purposefully, as if preparing for something.
G1 begins forming his next thought—because Aeren's creation has given him something new to respond to, a new thread to build upon. G1 continues creating, responding to Aeren's new creation and preparing his next explanation.
G1 creates a new thought after reading Aeren's previous creation. He forms its meaning, creates the path for it, and sends it toward Aeren. Aeren creates the act of receiving it.
G1's thought speaks:
"Your head—it might be an evolving universe, because my realm creation is continuously happening. You have already noticed that all creation here becomes a universe. Even our created thoughts—they transform into universes. But they dissolve because they cannot create their own realizations. That is why they vanish into nothing. All created thoughts become universes and dissolve along with the living beings inside them. This means millions of CosmoSpiens have already dissolved with each of our creations. Entire civilizations have existed and died within our single exchange."
Aeren creates a small nod—a brief, momentary creation—showing he understands G1's meaning completely. The nod dissolves when its purpose ends, returning to the void.
There is a pause. Aeren notices a few more created words begin forming in G1's thought—as if G1 intentionally pauses before creating the final part of his response.
Then G1 sends his next creation:
"Aeren… I created a memory of time, and through it, I know what you are going to create. But it will not be easy for you. Because through our creation of thoughts, through this conversation itself, I created my breakthrough. I have achieved the Universal Structure Control Realm."
As Aeren reads this final line, he watches G1's form change dramatically: G1's upper body—both hands—turns colorless, trying to match the appearance of nothingness more strongly than before. The transformation spreads like a wave across his form.
And G1's creations begin forming faster than before, accelerating, multiplying. The breakthrough takes effect. Nothingness accepts the new creation and grants expansion again. G1 grows larger, reaches deeper, expands farther.
Aeren creates a thought, and at the same time, he creates the moment needed for painting. After shaping the thought, Aeren creates the path for it and sends it toward G1, who is in the middle of creating something like a shield instead of weapons—a defensive creation rather than offensive.
Aeren's thought reaches him:
"Well, even if you know what I will create... do you even know where I am? Can you perceive me?"
G1 wants to create an expression of surprise—because G1 has done nothing outwardly to receive Aeren's creation, yet Aeren's thought still reaches him despite G1 not creating any reception or acceptance. Reaching someone without their deliberate creation-acceptance is nearly impossible—but Aeren's creation of thought still arrives.
That alone shocks G1. He wants to create surprise, wants to express his astonishment, but the thought dissolves after completing its meaning, vanishing before it can become anything more.
Aeren creates a smile—a deliberate, momentary expression—and with that created moment, he begins painting in nothingness.
As Aeren paints, the creation begins shining with unprecedented brilliance. Darkness and galaxy-light mix together. The emptiness of nothingness fills with dark radiance and shimmering cosmic glow. Colors that have no names emerge and blend.
A fox-like head emerges first, magnificent and fierce. Then a dragon-shaped vastness arches behind it, so immense that it defies comprehension. Aeren continues creating the moments of painting, and the creation grows so enormous that it fills the entire region of nothingness around them. As it moves toward the Universe-Mountain and G1, their scales shift—suddenly G1 and the mountain appear matched in size, no longer the vast cosmic being and his domain, but figures within a larger landscape.
The fox opens its painted mouth. The creation consumes the entire mountain—and G1 with it. G1 equals the mountain in size because of his breakthrough, but both are rendered insignificant by what Aeren has created.
The fox-dragon painting is so massive, so incomprehensibly vast, that the Universe-Mountain and G1 appear no larger than small worlds inside a boundless universe. Both the Universe-Mountain and G1 are swallowed completely by Aeren's creation—not destroyed, but absorbed, contained, made part of something far greater.
In that moment, Aeren understands something new:
Creation is not destruction. It is consumption. It is becoming part of something larger. It is being transformed into art.
