Dustwind Hidden Valley Sect had become too bright.
Not metaphorically.
Literally.
A soft golden glow shimmered over the valley every time Miyu slept, breathed, or rolled over on her pillow.
By now, the disciples had fully adapted.
Jin Haru: "Ah yes. Another divine napquake."
Lin Ruyin: "Brace yourselves—cultivation breakthrough incoming."
Gu Wenhai: "We must build a shrine for her pillow."
Minn: "Noted. Pillow Shrine Prototype 1 ready."
The valley hummed like a sanctified spring.
But beyond Dustwind…
Something else was humming.
Something bigger.

⭐ 1. SIGNS THAT SHOULD NOT EXIST
At dawn, strange things occurred across the region:
• All poisonous beasts near Dustwind ran away sparkling.
• A river purified itself and became drinkable for the first time in 100 years.
• The sky formed a symmetrical cloud ring above the valley.
• An old statue in the next kingdom suddenly bowed in Dustwind's direction.
• The moon during daylight shifted slightly cleaner.
People screamed, prayed, fainted, or attempted to write poems.
In the capital, a royal astronomer shrieked,
"THE CLOUDS ARE IN FORMATION AGAIN—DUSTWIND DID SOMETHING!"
A merchant noted,
"I'm selling Dustwind water for ten gold coins now."
A wandering swordsman whispered,
"Her aura… reaches this far?"
Rumors transformed into prophecy.

⭐ 2. CELESTIAL OVERLOAD
High above the mortal world, in the Heavenly Bureaucratic Archive…
A row of celestial clerks stared at a glowing scroll.
One clerk whispered, horrified:
"The **Purity Value** of the mortal world jumped by 0.5%."
The Supervisor dropped his quill.
"0.5%?! That's impossible! Mortals don't even reach 0.01%!"
Another clerk shakily added,
"There's more… The origin is a… cabbage farm."
Silence.
Then chaos.
"What?!"
"Is this a cosmic error?!"
"Since when do cabbages cause divine phenomena?!"
"Recheck the scroll!!"
The Supervisor flipped the report.
"It says… 'Dustwind Hidden Valley Sect.'"
Everyone froze.
Someone whispered:
"…The child."

⭐ 3. STERILITY IMMORTAL — RAGE PHASE 2
Inside a pristine white void, the Sterility Immortal stared at a giant projection of Dustwind.
Pure aura.
Symmetrical clouds.
A divine pillow.
A child with a sleepy face.
His eyebrow twitched violently.
"She's doing it again."
Crack—
A spark of frustrated lightning burst behind him.
"She's purifying the world without authorization… AGAIN."
He clenched his fists.
"That brat… she dares reincarnate and embarrass me one more time?!"
A trembling subordinate coughed.
"S-Sir… should we send a warning?"
The Sterility Immortal roared:
"NO. I WILL PERSONALLY INSPECT THIS DISASTER."
The heavens trembled at his irritation.

⭐ 4. BACK IN DUSTWIND — ONE LAST PEACEFUL DAY
In sharp contrast to cosmic panic…
Miyu sat in the courtyard eating an Imperial Cabbage Leaf roll made by Jin Haru.
She chewed slowly.
Blink.
"…Good."
Jin Haru fainted with pride.
Lin Ruyin clapped silently, too scared to make noise near the ancestor.
Gu Wenhai took notes on her favorite foods.
Minn calculated how many cabbages they needed to avoid political collapse.
Then—
A soft ripple of energy pulsed out from Miyu's body.
Harmless.
Gentle.
Unintentional.
Every disciple in the sect broke through one minor stage.
They didn't scream anymore. They just sighed.
Lin Ruyin: "Ah. Afternoon breakthrough."
Jin Haru (still unconscious): "Yayyy…"
Gu Wenhai: "Please… please stop ascending without warning…"
The entire valley sparkled as if dipped in sunlight.
---
⭐ 5. A SHADOW WATCHES
Far on a distant cliff, hidden behind swirling mist—
A figure cloaked in black observed Dustwind quietly.
Their eyes gleamed with ancient knowledge.
"So… the child of pure order awakens again."
The wind whispered in response.
"She has returned. And the heavens tremble…"
The figure retreated into the shadows.
"War… will come sooner than she realizes."
---
⭐ 6. THE HEAVENS SEND A SIGN
Above Dustwind, the sky flickered.
A thin crack formed between the clouds.
Golden lightning crawled across its edge.
Jin Haru shrieked,
"Is the sky breaking AGAIN?!"
Gu Wenhai dropped all his scrolls.
"NOT TODAY—PLEASE—WE JUST CLEANED—!!"
Lin Ruyin grabbed her broom in terror.
"Is it another sect attack?! A divine beast?! A trial?! A meteor?!"
Minn calmly wrote:
"Record: Dimensional shift phenomenon #4."
Miyu looked up.
She frowned.
"…Annoying."
The crack trembled.
Then closed instantly—
as if the sky itself panicked in guilt.
The disciples froze.
Jin Haru whispered,
"She… she glared at the sky and it apologized…"
Lin Ruyin nodded fearfully.
"The heavens… fear her."
Gu Wenhai collapsed again.
---
⭐ 7. ENDING — THE WORLD HOLDS ITS BREATH
Night fell quietly.
Miyu returned to bed, hugging her divine pillow tightly.
"…Warm…"
She drifted into sleep.
A gentle purification wave washed across the valley, bright as moonlight.
The world felt it.
The heavens felt it.
The Sterility Immortal felt it and screamed into an empty void.
But Dustwind slept peacefully.
For now.
Because tomorrow…
The heavens would not stay still.
