Ninur leaned against the sky full of fierce flames, staring at the Forest God Lipo atop a huge canopy, and couldn't help but find this god, who governed the Secret Forest, laughable.
Among the gods of the Celestial Kingdom, there was a gap between gods, and a hierarchy among divine powers, each rank signifying a nearly insurmountable boundary.
And as the Fire God, Ninur was a Fourth Rank divine, while Forest God Lipo was merely a Third Rank god.
The gap between Fourth and Third Rank was like the difference between heaven and earth.
Forest God Lipo desperately spurred the growth of the great trees, covering the burning canopy with layers of timber, ceaselessly allowing thousands of trees to perish and be reborn in an attempt to extinguish the wildfire.
