Boundless Dream, also known as Hanna, had always felt a lingering connection to Earth, her birthplace. Despite the vastness of the cosmos and the countless realms she had traveled, Earth held a special place in her heart. She often pondered how the planet had fared in her absence, and one day, she decided to return.
The journey back to Earth was swift, her Cosmic Divine Force enabling her to traverse the void of space with ease. As she neared the familiar blue planet, memories flooded her mind—her early struggles, her first steps on the path of cultivation, and the people she had left behind.
Upon arriving on Earth, Boundless Dream chose to remain discreet, concealing her presence to avoid attracting undue attention. She decided to explore the city where she had spent her formative years, blending in with the bustling crowds.
While walking through a dimly lit alleyway, she heard a commotion. A young woman was being accosted by a group of thugs. The woman, despite her fear, was trying to defend herself with remarkable courage.
“Stay away from me!” the woman shouted, brandishing a small knife.
The thugs laughed menacingly, closing in on her. “What are you going to do with that little thing?” one of them taunted.
Boundless Dream stepped forward, her presence radiating calm authority. “Leave her alone,” she commanded, her voice cutting through the chaos like a blade.
The thugs turned, their expressions shifting from arrogance to fear as they sensed her power. “Who are you?” one of them demanded, though his voice wavered.
Boundless Dream didn’t respond verbally. Instead, she raised her hand, and with a simple gesture, immobilized the thugs. They froze, unable to move, their faces contorted in terror.
She turned to the young woman. “Are you alright?” she asked gently.
The woman, her eyes wide with shock and relief, nodded. “Yes, thank you. I don’t know what I would have done if you hadn’t shown up.”
Boundless Dream smiled reassuringly. “You’re safe now.”
The young woman, who introduced herself as Emily, was grateful beyond words. She explained that she had been targeted by the thugs because she had stood up to them in her neighborhood. Her bravery had made her a target, but she had refused to back down.
Boundless Dream admired Emily’s courage and felt a sense of responsibility towards her. She understood the ways of karma and knew that saving Emily had intertwined their destinies. She decided to offer Emily a chance to protect herself and others from future harm.
“Emily,” Boundless Dream said, covering her in a protective energy field and activating an invisibility spell to avoid detection by Earth’s satellites, “do you want the power to prevent something like this from happening again?”
Emily looked at her savior, a mix of awe and determination in her eyes. “Yes, I do. I never want to feel this helpless again.”
Boundless Dream nodded. “Very well. Hold onto me.”
With a flash of light, Boundless Dream teleported them both to outer space. The vast expanse of stars and the tranquility of the cosmos surrounded them. Emily gasped in wonder, her fear replaced by a sense of awe.
“To grant you this power, I will need to perform a ritual,” Boundless Dream explained. “It will transform you into an immortal, giving you the strength to protect yourself and others. Are you ready for this?”
Emily nodded resolutely. “I’m ready.”
Boundless Dream began the ritual, channeling her Cosmic Divine Force. She focused on Emily, enveloping her in a cocoon of energy. The transformation process was intense, as Boundless Dream infused Emily with the energies of Soul, Qi, Essence, Heart, and Emptiness.
Emily’s body glowed with a radiant light as the energies merged within her. She could feel her strength increasing, her senses sharpening, and her understanding of the universe expanding. It was a profound and life-altering experience.
As the ritual neared completion, Boundless Dream spoke softly. “You are now an immortal, Emily. Use this power wisely, and remember the responsibility that comes with it.”
Returning to Earth as an Immortal, Emily found herself overwhelmed by her newfound powers. She could now use her mental energy to view the entire galaxy with ease, but the splitting headaches took a while to get over. Her senses were heightened, and she could perceive the intricate web of energies and intentions surrounding her.
Emily’s newfound abilities allowed her to sense all the cruelty and malice that went on all around her. She could see the suffering inflicted by those with evil intentions, and her instinctive response was to stop it. However, her energy and will were still at the level of a mortal, and she lacked the control that Boundless Dream had over her immense power.
One day, as Emily meditated to stabilize her energies, the overwhelming sense of injustice and cruelty became too much to bear. Her instincts, still rooted in mortal reactions, took over. Her energy surged outward, driven by a desire to cleanse the world of its darkness.
In an instant, her power activated, and hundreds of millions of evildoers across the continent were reduced to pools of blood. The streets were eerily silent as the malevolent forces that had once plagued the land were eradicated in a heartbeat.
As the energy subsided, Emily opened her eyes, horrified by what she had done. Her intention had been to protect and save the innocent, but in her lack of control, she had also inadvertently harmed those with good intentions. Her power had acted indiscriminately, disintegrating both evildoers and do-gooders alike.
Emily fell to her knees, tears streaming down her face. “What have I done?” she whispered, her voice trembling with guilt and sorrow. “I wanted to save them, not harm them.”
Boundless Dream, sensing the disturbance, appeared beside her. She placed a comforting hand on Emily’s shoulder. “Emily, you must learn to control your power. Your intentions were noble, but without proper control, immense power can cause unintended harm.”
Emily looked up at Boundless Dream, her eyes filled with regret. “I didn’t mean to… I just wanted to stop the suffering.”
Boundless Dream helped Emily to her feet. “It’s alright, Emily. This is a part of your journey. You must learn to balance your power with wisdom and restraint. I will help you.”
Together, they began a rigorous training regimen designed to help Emily master her Cosmic Divine Force. Boundless Dream taught her how to focus her energies, control her instincts, and refine her intentions. They practiced meditation techniques that allowed Emily to channel her emotions constructively and maintain clarity of thought.
Over the following months, Emily’s control over her powers improved significantly. She learned to sense the nuances of intentions and energies, distinguishing between good and evil with greater precision. Her headaches subsided as she gained mastery over her mental energy, allowing her to view the galaxy without being overwhelmed.
One day, during a particularly intense training session, Emily successfully targeted a single dark energy source without affecting the surrounding area. She looked at Boundless Dream, her face beaming with pride. “I did it!”
Boundless Dream smiled warmly. “Yes, you did. You are making great progress, Emily. Remember, power without control is dangerous. But with control, you can achieve great things and protect those who need it.”
With her newfound control, Emily decided to put her abilities to good use. She focused on identifying pockets of evil and injustice across the continent, intervening with precision and care. She used her Cosmic Divine Force to protect the innocent and bring evildoers to justice without causing collateral damage.
One evening, as she meditated, she sensed a particularly dark energy emanating from a nearby town. She stood up, her resolve firm. “There’s someone who needs our help.”
Boundless Dream nodded. “Go, Emily. I trust you to handle it.”
Emily arrived in the town, her presence unnoticed as she cloaked herself in an invisibility spell. She followed the dark energy to a hidden basement, where a group of criminals were plotting their next atrocity. Their leader, a man with a twisted smile and eyes filled with malice, spoke of their plans with glee.
Emily’s heart burned with righteous anger, but she remembered Boundless Dream’s teachings. She took a deep breath, focusing her energy. With a swift, precise strike, she immobilized the criminals, rendering them powerless.
The leader, now paralyzed, looked up at Emily in fear. “Who are you?” he demanded.
Emily stepped forward, her eyes glowing with determination. “I am Emily, an Immortal of the Dream Academy. Your reign of terror ends now.”
With a wave of her hand, she disintegrated the dark energy within the leader, neutralizing his power and leaving him unconscious. She then called the authorities, ensuring the criminals were brought to justice.
As Emily continued her mission, she also focused on healing and redemption. She used her powers to help those who had been wronged, providing them with the strength and resources to rebuild their lives. She worked with Boundless Dream to establish sanctuaries and support networks for the victims of cruelty and injustice.
One day, as she was visiting a newly established sanctuary, a young girl approached her, tears of gratitude in her eyes. “Thank you, Emily. You saved my family.”
Emily knelt down, her heart filled with warmth. “You are welcome. Always remember that you are not alone. We are here to help.”
Emily’s journey was one of growth and learning. She understood that her power came with immense responsibility and that the path of an Immortal required wisdom and restraint. With Boundless Dream’s guidance, she continued to protect the innocent and fight against evil, all while maintaining a balance between her strength and compassion.
Boundless Dream watched with pride as Emily flourished in her role. “You have come a long way, Emily,” she said one evening as they meditated together. “Remember that your journey is ongoing. Continue to seek balance and wisdom, and you will achieve great things.”
Emily nodded, her resolve unwavering. “I will, Boundless Dream. Thank you for everything.”
