In Liya's white palm, the seed was surrounded by a ring of blurry and entangled light, floating in the center of a spheric force field. The light around it looked like an illusory stopwatch.
As the illusory stopwatch rotated clockwise, the seed was sprouting and growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. It grew green leaves, and at last, a large pure white flower bloomed at the top.
The seed that should take a few years or even longer to bloom had actually finished this process in a few seconds, and this was far from the end.
Liya took a deep breath and slowly turned her hands in the opposite direction. The illusory stopwatch in her hand was also rotating anticlockwise.
Then, the white flower gradually closed, and the petals shrank back into the seed. The force field disappeared, but the seed was still lying in Liya's palm in one piece.
Dick swallowed hard. It was unbelievable!
