Creation: The Path of a God (Updated Edition)

Chapter 4 - Part 13 (Book 1 - Fantasy World)

Seeing Elis' tears made Han think about how his actions, even if minor, could have such a material impact, which made him pause. It made him wonder how Elis would grow in the world after interacting with him and his creations.

"I can only think of myself as fortunate to find someone with so much potential and be allowed to help you unlock your life. There is no need to feel thankful. To be present as you find something you want to chase after is more than enough for me." Han smiled at seeing how the woman who started out beaten down by life bloomed into a wonderful woman.

Han lifted his hand towards Elis.

Seeing Han's outstretched hand, Elis looked up at him with her eyebrows raised, searching for the meaning of his gesture. She then looked back at the palm.

Slowly, in Han's hand, it started as a water droplet of light, hovering a few inches from his skin. Though the light was dim, it began growing in intensity.

Molly stared at the light in Han's hand before her eyes looked at him, her mouth partly open. Though she wanted to ask, her eyes were slowly drawn back to the droplet.

Initially, the light was dimmer compared to the mana crystal lamps, but it didn't remain the case as the light became brighter. Its intensity was significant enough that Elis and Tom's family had to look away, covering their eyes to protect them.

Han smiled, able to see the ball of light slowly begin to form as though it were liquid metal. Two points on the ball started to be pulled before creating an intertwining pattern. The two lengths of the chain continued to replicate the design before finally meeting at the ends, a clasp formed to connect them. Next, the ball of light slowly began to flatten like a water droplet pressed between two panes of glass.

On the surface of the flattened droplet were two bright points as though a high-focused laser was engraving onto the surface of the metal. Each point slowly created the image of a star and moon.

Seeing the star and the moon, Han reflected on their significance in his life and why he had chosen them. Though his creations may not fully understand his relationship to the two symbols, he was confident that it would be soon that they, along with everyone else, did.

The hallway was bathed in cosmic lights, various colors emerging and being replaced in an endless cycle.

Han slowly pulled away his powers, and the light faded until everything returned to normal. However, the wall lamps seemed slightly brighter than before.

With the light no longer blinding them, Elis and Tom's family hesitatingly removed their hands.

Elis' hands slightly trembled from the experience as she looked at what now existed in the center of Han's palm. Seeing the ethereal beauty created by Han, the simple village woman's eyes were mesmerized as though nothing else existed in the world.

Though the pendant was solid, if a person looked closely, the material gave the impression of being liquid with how it appeared to continually flow. The symbols of the star and moon had a faint glow, making anyone captivated by its eldritch beauty.

"To congratulate you on beginning your new future, I wanted to gift you an item to commemorate our connection. Wherever you go, if you hold onto the pendant and concentrate, your voice will be able to reach me." Han raised his hand to offer the item to Elis.

Still entranced by the necklace, Elis continued to gaze at it.

"Elis?" Molly's eyes looked at Elis, her brow slightly furrowed before she looked at the item in Han's hand. Unlike Elis' expression, Molly stared at the object as though it were a creature that needed to be respected lest it defends itself.
