It has been 22,000 years since I was reincarnated.

After 11,000 years of cultivating, I have grown to a grand size of... (Drumroll please.)

...200 meters.

I discovered that as I get bigger, my surface area increases exponentially so it's harder to get bigger.

It used to take about 20 Qi to grow an inch.

It now takes 45,000.

I did get my Qi capacity up to 200 now though.

(Sigh) I guess I'm doomed to forever be smal-

< Due to size and density, you have formed a stage 1 [Celestial body] core! >

< Stage 1 core >

< Temperature: 10º >

I could feel a sudden warmth emanating from me.

Well this is convenient, isn't it?

The universe had changed also too.

Instead of a void, There was gas everywhere.

There were also some asteroids too.

I glanced around and noticed a big asteroid half my size slowly being attracted to me.

Yes. YES.

Come, my child.

The asteroid crashed into me, growing me.

Because of my newfound mass, other asteroids were smashing into me too!

Let it grow, let it grow...

----------------------------------------

I was five kilometers big now.

The asteroids stopped coming after 200 years and I was sad.

But I got some cool rings too.

But they disappeared.

I'm sooo booored.

< You have increased your core stage to level two! >

< Stage two core >

< Heat: 50º >

< Gravity: 0.00093 >

Oh cool.

< Due to sufficient heat, you have gained the heat Qi element! >

"Hey."

Oh. Another god. What's your name?

"My names Caloris"

...

Is all the gods' names Latin?

"Whats Latin?"

(Sigh) Never mind.

"Anyway, I'm here to give you your boon. Here!"

< The god Caloris, has given you his boon, increasing your core stage by one. >

Oh. Thanks.

"Bye."

I looked back at my current core stage.

< Stage 3 core >

< Heat: 90º >

< Gravity: 0.002 >

Suddenly I was barraged by asteroids.

Huh, what WAIT NOOOOO...!
