Chapter 60: Chapter 56 Oh, That Majestic Being

Stars twinkled within the realm of the Celestial Kingdom.

They obeyed the arrangements and dispatches of the deep red Historical Star.

Upon the surface of the Thunderbolt Star, amid the storm, a humanoid soul gazed out at the distant red star.

In this past century, the Thunder Soul had realized that there were dozens of stars in the celestial realm that had developed the ability to think, just like itself.

Even amongst the vast sea of stars in the nighttime sky, such a number was still scarce.

Yet it also meant that it was not alone.

The Thunder Soul fixed its gaze on that deep red star.

It knew clearly what kind of brilliance that star, situated at the deepest part of the Celestial Kingdom, emanated.

That brilliance allowed one to see history.

The Thunder Soul yearned to bathe in the glow of that vast star, to witness the events of the past.

For it knew that its existence as a soul was not born from nothingness.

For everything must have an origin.

The Thunder Soul moved closer to the Historical Star.

The Historical Star was much larger than other stars, and its light was the most ancient and vast; that’s why it occupied the deepest part of the Celestial Kingdom.

The Thunderbolt Star left its own orbit, and the humanoid soul approached the Historical Star.

The magnificent deep red star stood in the darkness; it seemed to sense the approach of the Thunderbolt Star, slightly retreated, as if in hesitation, but the Thunderbolt Star relentlessly pursued, moving towards the Historical Star as fast as it could.

The dark canopy of the sky had long been left behind by the Thunder Soul, who stubbornly and tenaciously swept towards the Historical Star.

Finally, after its hesitation, the Historical Star came to a stop, allowing the Thunder Soul to draw near.

The humanoid soul, fashioned from lightning, beheld the core of the Historical Star—a deeply unseen, narrow tunnel. Merely a glance was enough to feel the weight of history as if it bore down upon one’s shoulders.

The Thunder Soul reached out and touched the radiance of the Historical Star.

First, the soul saw the history of an infinite time ago.

Back then, the world was immersed in darkness, the Ancient Chaos covered the land, and the Celestial Kingdom dwelt within it, with stars orbiting in their eternal paths.

Until...

A sudden figure descended upon the land.

All things began to change thereafter.

The Thunder Soul stared in astonishment at all of this; the world it had seen a hundred years prior began to manifest upon the land—the sky a brilliant azure, the ocean boundless, the earth vast, and the things once shrouded in darkness became clear in the world.

Gradually, the Thunder Soul saw the history of a hundred years ago.

The Thunder Soul beheld a group of little people on the land who called that figure God.

The soul listened to these little people’s voices, and before long, it had learned their language.

The scroll of history slowly unfurled, with more scenes appearing before its eyes.

It was a heaven-shaking confrontation; that figure stepped into the Celestial Kingdom, confronting the Primordial Will that had once ruled the world. In an instant, the realm surged with great fires, and a sea of flames spread across nearly every corner.

The Thunder Soul looked at the figure amidst the sea of fire, its radiance so blinding that the combined light of all the stars could not match it, and a grandiose singularity formed within the Celestial Kingdom. Then, with just a touch from the figure, the grand and magnificent radiance burst forth in an instant, lighting up the Celestial Kingdom’s night sky in a blaze of white!

It gazed at that figure.

Tears involuntarily welled up in its eyes.

Father...

That was the giver of souls to all the stars.

Because of Him, the stars had been endowed with souls.

"Father.

Our Father,

"Our father is God, and thus we are also gods!"

The Thunderbolt Star longed for the figure it had seen in the scrolls of history.

So majestic, so dazzling.

Beneath the roof of affection, the Thunderbolt Star also yearned to make contact with the tiny beings on the earth.

Those called the Logos people were as insignificant and frail as the fine sand in the starry sky, yet within their shells contained the most precious thing in the world—reason.

The soul constructed of lightning surveyed the vast cosmos, whispering in the language of the Logos people:

"We are gods, for our father is God. Those people on earth who worship Him should, therefore, also venerate us."

Under this sentiment, the Thunder God longed to touch the world beyond the Ancient Chaos.

Yet, He knew all too well that on His own, He was not sufficient to maintain a passage to the outer world.

Thus, the soul constructed of lightning fell into deep contemplation.

After an unknown length of time, He slowly raised His head.

A supremely dignified thought appeared in the mind of the Thunder God.

The soul constructed of lightning spread its hands, closed its eyes, and kissed the storms above the earth’s surface.

"The outer world’s objects like volcanoes, storms, and dark clouds have great power but no souls.

The tiny mortals on earth have souls, but no great power,

Only we—the stars of the Celestial Kingdom possess both great power and souls."

When He raised His head, a grand sense of mission filled His entire being.

Storms gathered above the Star, heeding His command.

"To announce a new identity,

to proclaim the identity of us, the gods of the Celestial Kingdom!"

The Thunder God placed the grand and weighty mission upon His shoulders, that luminous figure, the Lord spoken of by the Logos people, permeated His memory and soul.

He was full of confidence, storms poured forth recklessly across the surface of the Star, the night sky so vast, the radiance of the stars—no, the radiance of the Gods was about to come upon the earth!

The urgent task for the Thunder God was to open a pathway to the outer world.

In the history He had witnessed, those mortals worshipped the God who bestowed reason so devotedly. Therefore, the Thunder God saw that the very purpose God was brought into the world was to be worshipped, to be revered.

To be worshipped, to be revered, one must first let mortals hear the divine decrees, witness the divine miracles, thus establishing contact with the rational beings on earth.

The Thunder God surveyed the stars within the Celestial Kingdom, appraising who in the Star Host deserved to accompany Him.

At last, the Thunder God found two stars within the vast host that could join His quest.

One was the keeper of the Prophetic Star, and the other, the ruler of the Dragon Clan Star.

The might of these two stars was extraordinary, and what was crucial was that they, like Himself, possessed wisdom and self-awareness.

The stars of the Celestial Kingdom might have been endowed with souls, but the ones awakening to wisdom and consciousness were few and far between.

Thus, the Thunder God regarded these two stars as His companions.

He approached the two stars, the soul constructed of lightning ascended to their surfaces, unveiling epics from a century past.

The Prophetic Star and Dragon Clan Star saw the God worshipped by the mortals, and through the history conveyed by the soul constructed of lightning, they announced the supreme father of the Stars, as well as their identity as Gods.

Consequently, the two stars followed the Thunder God, and they honored Him as the King of Gods.

The Thunderbolt Star, the Prophetic Star, and the Dragon Clan Star,

They were the first three gods of the Celestial Kingdom, who knew whence they came, who also understood that their decaying father—they were to come to the earth, to scatter their own radiance, heralding a Golden Age of strife amongst all nations.
