Boundless Dream pondered deeply on the revelations about Earth. The concept of Earth being a formation, an intricate construct designed to seal the Shadow of All Things, resonated with her on a profound level. She began to draw parallels between Earth’s nature and the highest concepts of Buddhism, Taoism, and the fiendgod philosophies.
Boundless Dream realized that the violence and chaos of early civilizations on Earth were part of a grand design. Systems and laws evolved as a way to escape this inherent violence, transforming society from its primal state to one of order and structure. This evolution mirrored the Buddhist concept of complexity returning to simplicity, where the ultimate truth is found in the most basic and pure form.
“Earth,” she mused, “is the very pinnacle of a Buddhist formation, the Samsara-Reunion. It embodies the cycle of life, death, and rebirth, constantly returning to its essence.”
Earth’s nature also aligned with the highest divine and fiendgod formations. The Chaos-Returning formation of the divine realm sought to bring all things back to their original state, a pure and undifferentiated chaos. Similarly, the fiendgod formation, the Yin-Yang Seal, represented the balance of opposing forces, maintaining harmony through conflict.
“Earth is a convergence of these three pinnacle formations,” Boundless Dream concluded. “A giant seal that keeps humans and beasts at the lowest level of sentience, their actions and existence creating ripples of complexity within the simplicity of the formation.”
The more Boundless Dream thought about it, the clearer it became. The Shadow of All Things thrived on the suffering and chaos generated by Earth’s formation. The crueler life was on Earth, the stronger the Shadow became outside the formation.
“This is why Earth must remain difficult,” she realized. “The hardships faced by its inhabitants keep the Shadow contained. The formation ensures that fewer humans gain strength, maintaining the balance.”
In the long rivers of history, the true nature of Earth’s formation had been forgotten. The outer realms, unaware of the significance of Earth, had attacked it, disrupting the delicate balance and threatening the seal.
“The invasions from the outer realms caused instability,” Boundless Dream thought. “It was this interference that led to the timeline needing to be reset.”
Boundless Dream recalled the drastic action taken to protect Earth and maintain the seal. Hanna, her past self, had reset the timeline to prevent the outer realms from continuing their assault. This reset was crucial in ensuring the Shadow of All Things remained contained.
“By resetting the timeline,” she reflected, “we gave Earth a chance to recover and maintain its role in the cosmic balance. It was a necessary step to protect all of creation from the Shadow’s wrath.”
With this new understanding, Boundless Dream felt a renewed sense of purpose. She knew that protecting Earth was not just about preserving a planet but maintaining the very fabric of the cosmos. The formation was a complex, interwoven structure that required constant vigilance and care.
Boundless Dream decided to share this revelation with her closest allies. She summoned them to the Room of Fortunes and Misfortunes, where they could discuss the implications and plan their next steps.
As they gathered, she began to explain. “Earth is more than just a planet. It is a formation of unparalleled complexity, designed to seal the Shadow of All Things. Our actions and the hardships faced by its inhabitants are crucial in maintaining this seal.”
The leaders listened intently, their expressions a mix of awe and determination. They understood the gravity of the situation and the importance of protecting Earth.
“We must ensure that Earth remains stable,” Boundless Dream continued. “We need to prevent any further interference from the outer realms and support its role in the cosmic balance.”
