Chapter 96 - Epilogue

Divine Realm

Anu planet

Far beyond the mortal plane, within the luminous expanse of the divine realm, stood the resplendent Celestial Palace, an eternal marvel that hovered amidst oceans of glittering starlight. Its golden towers rose gracefully into endless skies painted in shades of lavender, sapphire, and gold, while crystalline spires shimmered with a transcendent radiance, refracting the brilliance of countless divine suns.

Inside the palace's grand hall—an immense, vaulted chamber whose ceilings glistened with constellations brought to life—a serene yet intense conversation unfolded between two beings seated on ornate thrones of pure celestial gold.

One was a male Celestial, his stature imposing and majestic, draped in robes that shifted subtly from deepest indigo to gleaming silver. His presence was like the calm vastness of space, dark yet punctuated by endless light, his visage a perfect harmony between strength and serenity. Opposite him sat a female Celestial, a vision of ethereal grace, clothed in flowing gowns of luminous white silk woven from threads of starlight. Her hair cascaded in silken waves of midnight blue, studded with tiny jewels that shimmered like distant galaxies, and her sapphire eyes held ancient wisdom and serene curiosity.

"It has finally begun," the male said, his deep voice resonating throughout the vast hall, a note of satisfaction evident in his tone. "Terra's ascension, triggered by the Celestial Realignment, has been set into motion."

The female celestial inclined her head slightly, her elegant features calm yet thoughtful. "Indeed. The balance has shifted dramatically. The mortal realm will soon experience upheavals unlike any they have faced before."

Her gaze shifted to a balcony that overlooked an endless celestial garden, where blossoms crafted from pure celestial essence bloomed eternally, their fragrance sweet and intoxicating, drifting gently into the hall.

The male followed her gaze, his eyes gleaming. "This awakening will draw not only mortals but also the attention of the older gods, some of whom may threaten our plans."

The female celestial smiled faintly, her eyes glinting with knowing amusement. "Yet the mortals themselves also pose such a threat. There are those among them prepared to bear the mantle of guardianship. I have witnessed their courage, their spirit—it fascinates me."

She turned slowly, her attention settling upon another divine being seated upon a higher, grander throne further within the hall. He was a radiant figure, his form woven from pure golden light, emitting a splendor so dazzling that his mere presence cast rippling waves of warmth and power through the room. Around him, divine maidens of luminous beauty and grace stood in respectful silence, gently tending to his every subtle gesture and whisper.

"My Lord Solarius," the female celestial addressed him respectfully, her voice clear yet soft, carrying across the chamber. "You have remained silent thus far. What thoughts occupy your immaculate mind?"

The golden deity turned slightly, his visage composed of shimmering brilliance, eyes glowing with the incandescent fires of creation itself. His voice was a melody of celestial perfection, resonating deeply with both power and intrigue.

"I find myself captivated by the mortal plane and its transformations," Solarius replied thoughtfully, a smirk crossing his radiant features. "For millennia, I have been stuck here in this boring, stagnant world. Perhpas it's time I descend upon the mortal realm?

The male Celestial raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "To descend? You would risk the wrath of the Divine emperor."

Solarius laughed softly, a harmonious sound that echoed pleasantly within the hall. "Indeed. The mortal realm is entering a new epoch—a time in which those old skeletons will fade. It is time that we spread our legend, don't you think so?"

The female Celestial smiled gently, nodding in understanding. "Then the time truly has come. The fate of the mortal realm and its mortals may yet shape the destiny of our realm."

Solarius rose gracefully, the air shimmering around him. The celestial maidens stepped back, respectfully bowing their heads as golden light radiated from his being.

"Yes," Solarius affirmed softly, his tone filled with anticipation. "A new age has dawned. Let us see how brightly it will shine towards us."
