The golden sun shining in the sky had grown more radiant with each passing day, its brilliance casting an ever-expanding glow across the cosmos. With the creation of Mana, ripples of energy began to emanate from the sun, filling even Boundless Dream with a sense of slight dread. These energies were unlike anything she had encountered before.
Boundless Dream sought answers from the Heavens, feeling the need to understand this new development. The Heavens revealed a startling truth: “The Heavens and the Origin are not the strongest entities within this cosmos. There exists a power far greater, residing within the heart of the sun.”
Determined to uncover this mystery, Boundless Dream floated several million miles away from the sun. She extended her will towards the sun, infusing it with her goodwill and curiosity. In response, a magnificent rainbow path materialized before her, leading directly into the blazing heart of the sun.
Following the rainbow path, Boundless Dream entered a dreamlike realm within the sun, a place where flames danced like golden silk and the air was filled with a radiant warmth. It was a realm of unparalleled beauty and power, unlike anything she had ever seen.
At the center of this realm, she encountered the newly ascended Golden Crow Princess. The princess was a majestic being, her feathers shimmering with all the colors of the rainbow, her eyes glowing with ancient wisdom and fierce determination.
“Welcome, Boundless Dream,” the Golden Crow Princess said, her voice resonating like a melodious song. “I have been expecting you.”
Boundless Dream inclined her head respectfully. “Golden Crow Princess, I seek to understand the secrets of the God Realm and its relation to Earth.”
The princess nodded, her expression thoughtful. “The God Realm holds many secrets, but there is one of great importance that you must know. Earth is not merely a planet; it is a fragment of the once mighty Firmament, used to seal away a terror so great that even immortals and devils tell tales of it to scare their children.”
Boundless Dream listened intently, her mind racing with the implications of this revelation.
“The Firmament,” the Golden Crow Princess continued, “was shattered in an ancient battle, and its pieces were scattered across the cosmos. Earth is one such piece, chosen for its unique properties to act as a seal. The terror it contains is beyond comprehension, a force that could annihilate entire realms if unleashed.”
Boundless Dream felt a chill despite the warmth of the realm. “What is this terror?” she asked.
The princess’s eyes darkened. “It is a being of pure chaos and destruction, an entity that thrives on the suffering and fear of others. It was sealed away to protect all of creation, but the seal is not infallible. Earthlings have long forgotten their true purpose, but their existence is crucial to maintaining the balance.”
Boundless Dream pondered the connection between Earth and the God Realm. “So, the legends and myths of Earth, the tales of things that go bump in the night, are echoes of this ancient terror?”
The Golden Crow Princess nodded. “Indeed. These tales are remnants of a forgotten truth, warnings passed down through generations. Earthlings have an inherent fear of the dark because they sense the presence of this sealed terror, even if they do not consciously remember it.”
Boundless Dream felt a renewed sense of purpose. “Thank you, Golden Crow Princess. This knowledge is invaluable. It explains much about the nature of Earth and its people.”
The princess smiled warmly. “Use this knowledge wisely, Boundless Dream. The balance of the cosmos depends on it. And remember, the power within the sun is not to be feared but understood. It is a part of the greater whole, just as you are.”
Boundless Dream bowed deeply to the Golden Crow Princess before following the rainbow path back to the cosmos. As she floated away from the sun, she felt a sense of awe and responsibility. The knowledge she had gained was a powerful tool, one that could help protect the cosmos from unseen threats.
