Glorious God Throne

Chapter-heading">Glorious God Throne - Extra 3

Everything that has life must die. The world’s birth and destruction cycle is the eternal cycle of the cosmic sea. When countless worlds approached their destined end, Return to the Void became the unique purification mechanism of this cosmic sea. The old era ended in the Return to the Void, allowing a new era to be born, bringing a new cycle to this cosmic sea.

After countless years beyond measure, within the newly reborn cosmic sea after the restart, everything appeared in a state of primordial chaos. Only one azure star served as the sole light source within the chaos.

With this star as the center, endless paths and laws radiated outward like radiation, forming the initial framework of rules in this chaotic newborn cosmic sea.

Based on these embryonic rules, the beginning of all things were born. The birth of different things gave rise to different worlds. Numerous newborn worlds emerged in the cosmic sea, surrounding that azure star like stars surrounding the moon.

This was the birth of the first Three Thousand Worlds in the newborn cosmic sea. As more and more beings came into existence, more worlds continued to emerge around the first batch of worlds.

The originally barren cosmic sea thus became bustling, transcending the lengthy process that should have been required to nurture new worlds, reaching a “stellar radiance” golden age in an extremely short time from its initial emptiness.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Thus began the new era!

And that star, born before the Three Thousand Worlds, which shaped the initial framework of rules for the cosmic sea, from which came all things of countless worlds, guarded by the stars at its center, became the world that transcenders from countless worlds yearned for. It was called: the True Azure Realm.

As time flowed, everything from this cosmic sea’s past was buried in time. Those beings who transcended their own world’s limitations and entered the cosmic sea, roaming through the myriad worlds, could only explore hidden truths from fragments of legends.

And the True Azure Realm, which sparked countless people’s curiosity, admiration, and yearning, had countless legends circulating throughout the universe.

It was said to have existed since the beginning of the new era, an eternal divine kingdom established by an Ancient One from the previous era, surviving the destruction and rebirth of eras, housing the only true deity in this cosmic sea.

The paths and laws flowing through the Eternal Divine Kingdom accelerated the birth of the cosmic sea’s rules, allowing the myriad worlds, which should have taken eons to nurture within the cosmic sea, to be born early in the new era.

All things of the myriad worlds came from the Ancient One’s teachings; the Eternal Kingdom holds dominion over all things.

Through endless years, generations in the myriad worlds changed, countless legendary figures rose and fell, forging numerous legends.

But that ruler of the divine kingdom, the Ancient One from the previous era, was the source of all extraordinaries, all mysteries, all legends. They were the eternal role of this cosmic sea’s endless eras.

Some said that this being inherently symbolized the highest truth of the cosmic sea, closely connected to the cosmic sea’s roots.

They mastered the highest laws of time, constantly spreading their own concept across more timelines. They possessed infinite possibilities across infinite time-spaces; in any time-space existed one of their derived possibilities.

They were one, yet also ten thousand.

As long as this cosmic sea existed, as long as the concept of time existed within the cosmic sea, they would exist eternally across infinite parallel timelines, alongside time.

Hush! Every moment, every choice we make creates new timelines, and in each timeline exists such a being, living a quiet, undisturbed life in places unknown to all.

–This was the legend of the “White King.”

****

As for how this commander of time-space, this source of all mysteries, this eternal role existing alongside this cosmic sea, reached such heights?

It began when the stars aligned, and countless dead worlds “revived” through the paths and laws they spread, being reborn as new worlds in the new era—

At that moment, the hope born from countless worlds, one who was born bearing the mission to save countless worlds’ fates, finally fulfilled their inherent mission, repaid the karma of countless worlds, and freed from all constraints, their mind achieved unprecedented freedom.

It was at that instant that Bai Yi completed his complete transcendence.

The innate gift belonging to the Principle of All Things fully awakened, and the laws of time, space, and universal rules appeared before him like perfectly visible patterns.

He saw countless time streams spreading toward infinite futures from this moment, and also saw the various failed versions of Bai Yi trapped in past timelines, without hope or future possibilities for advancement.

Bai Yi could have chosen to merge all versions of himself into one, transcending above the river of time, but instead allowed his possibilities to continuously spread across infinite timelines, so more and more versions of Bai Yi were born alongside newly created timelines.

Failed timelines also gave birth to new futures.

His consciousness evolved alongside infinite time-spaces, seeming to connect with countless versions of himself across infinite time-spaces, able to observe developments on every timeline. This connection could be severed at any time, but Bai Yi chose to let it continue.

Until this infinite endless expansion finally stopped.

This meant he had brought all possibilities across all timelines in the entire cosmic sea under his observation.

At this moment, Bai Yi suddenly felt something.

Intuition told him that while he was observing infinite time-space developments, there was a higher-dimensional observer similarly watching him quietly.

Only after bringing all possibilities in this cosmic sea under control did he fully confirm the existence of this gaze.

At the same moment he realized this, the higher-dimensional observer seemed to similarly become aware of his “consciousness.”

The gift of the Principle of All Things allowed him to follow that faint gaze and capture the observer’s slight emotional ripples of surprise.

Bai Yi couldn’t help but smile.

“Ha, what’s there to be surprised about? While you were watching my fate, I similarly discovered the laws triggered by fate being observed, unnamed observer?”

He gazed into the void, speaking as if to himself.

Separated by dimensional differences, he couldn’t hear the observer’s response, but accurately captured the emotional laws transmitted through the observer’s gaze, and translated them into language using rich experience.

Bai Yi “listened” for a while, as if truly receiving an incredible amount of information from this “translation.”

So he showed an expression of sudden realization. “I see, this cosmic sea is merely a closed black box filled with countless worlds, and while I observe infinite worlds and time-spaces within the black box, you are outside the black box, observing many black boxes placed together, including this one, and the fate of the most brilliant existence within each black box?”

“Not completely correct? Then in other words, any existence that might break through the black box is your observation target.”

Getting the answer, Bai Yi’s smile grew wider and wider at the corners of his lips, and that earlier boredom from observing all infinite possibilities in this cosmic sea and losing anticipation for the future also faded.

“Everything has become interesting…”

“I’m a bit curious about the world outside the black box, and what fates are unfolding in other black boxes?”

Would there be a chance in some future day, when he continued to evolve and reach higher realms, to transcend this cosmic sea’s limitations and peek at other cosmic seas?

Like a cat trying to peek out of a cardbox, struggling to open a crack in the airtight box with its paw, it curiously looked out at everything beyond.

****

In an unknown mysterious place, where billions of dimensional spaces converged.

Star light projections from infinite dimensional spaces constantly changed, illuminating a piece of space debris floating here.

This was where the “Observer” who monitored changes in infinite dimensional spaces resided. Whenever a transcender appeared in a dimensional space, all their fate trajectories before transcendence would be recorded by the observer.

“A new transcender is about to be born?”

The observer, their form hidden in mist, cast their gaze toward infinite dimensional spaces. A floating notebook suddenly opened before them, revealing a fresh page, and a quill pen rose by itself, using starlight as ink to write in the notebook.

First came the serial number—

[Second Dimensional Void]

Then the first line—

[When the stars aligned, the Commander of Time-Space was born.]

“Unexpectedly didn’t choose to become the only one transcending above the river of time, but instead continuously split possibilities, occupying infinite time streams? An unexpected choice…”

[He possessed infinite possibilities across infinite time-spaces…]

At this point, the quill pen flowing smoothly in mid-air suddenly stopped, and the observer’s voice revealed strong disbelief. “Actually…” Actually aware of His existence?!

…Was it because of the other’s special innate gift, or because they chose this path different from the mainstream?

Rarely encountering an existence who, before completely transcending their current cosmic sea, could sense His gaze and even freely translate His emotions for one-sided communication, the observer quietly watched as the other confirmed the answer in their soliloquy, and smiled slightly.

“Ah… perhaps the title of observer should be changed?” Self-deprecatingly remarking, He “raised” His pen again, continuing the observation record where it had been interrupted.

[…He is the source of all legends.]

[——He is the mystery itself.]

~The End~
