Chapter 183: Destiny! Chronology!
At this moment when the Ruler of the Universe embraces the Just Order, between heaven and earth, inside and outside the universe, everything is thoroughly enveloped by the most sacred and solemn wondrous auspicious phenomenon.
Thick dark clouds completely enveloped the entire universe in just an instant.
Looking out, the entire universe resembles a piece of black glass wiped to utmost purity and profundity.
Extreme darkness is not devouring, but a silence returning to the origin, shielding all starlight and making the world hold its breath.
However, in this supreme silence, all things began a higher-dimensional resonance.
At first, above the firmament, it was not the roar of thunder, but a tremor from the depths of the universe’s existence, amid utter silence.
Immediately after, the first light did not roughly “tear through” the darkness, but like a lotus flower, “born” gently from the deepest clouds.
This is not ordinary electric light, but the deep manifestation of the “Order” threads, the universe’s most fundamental logic taking visible form for the first time.
The Supreme God King’s thunder electric light is no longer mere energy flashes, but transformed into countless ceaselessly surging golden rivers of light, quietly flowing deep in the chaotic sea of clouds.
Each stream of light carries the Creator God’s supreme will.
This light, bearing the solemnity and sanctity of creation’s beginning, uses itself as a brush to outline the universe’s most basic laws, order, and rules.
It is soundless, formless, intangible, yet unstoppable, spreading in a form transcending time and space in higher dimensions, weaving in the vast universe, between endless star rivers, into the most sacred web of destiny covering all existence.
Then, the sound of thunder slowly rose from the horizon’s end. It is no longer a roar symbolizing majesty and destruction, but the most sacred, most solemn creation hymn played at the union of the Lord of Thunder’s laws and the order rules laws.
Every thunderclap represents the glorious opening of an ancient epic, carrying the absolute, unshakable “Justice” voice from Themis.
In this grand boundless thunder symphony, thunderbolt light and order laws intertwine and fuse.
They are no longer two separate entities, but transformed into two primal streamers, like twin dragon and phoenix, spiraling and chasing between heaven, earth, and universe, finally colliding at the world’s center—the Summit of Olympus, intertwining and copulating, tightly uniting as one!
In an instant, endless light, measureless light, Wuji light, boundless light, unhindered light, joyful light, wisdom light, spiritual light, pure light, myriad dharmas light—infinitely countless sacred electric lights symbolizing the universe’s ten directions’ perfection burst forth from the creation dark clouds, their radiance equally illuminating every corner of the entire universe in the blink of an eye.
The Three Realms and Three Domains, sky, earth, netherworld, ocean, all thoroughly covered by the radiance of this sacred “Great Thunder of Order,” the entire universe transformed from black glass into a kingdom of light.
In this instant, there is no earth-shattering explosion, only silent “fusion” like nurturing rain.
Thunder’s power became the creation furnace, forging Justice’s will; Justice’s edge became sacred brushstrokes, deeply inscribing order’s rule precepts upon the primal laws of all things in the universe.
Wherever thunder rolls, unprecedented vitality bursts from the silent divinity of all spirits, life henceforth prospering and growing in sacred decrees.
When electric light sweeps, misaligned star paths are gently corrected, the universe henceforth operating stably in eternal order.
Between thunderbolt explosions, the fire of spiritual wisdom ignites in ignorant chaos, civilization henceforth setting sail under the enlightening thunder order!
In the sky, sacred golden fine rain descends, each drop containing purifying sacred power, cleansing all worldly filth, obsolescence, and disharmony.
Earth and netherworld surge with newborn springs, each flowing with the joy of evolution, nourishing all living beings’ flesh and blood and souls.
All past disorder, all wrongdoing, all incongruity, are all reshaped by the God King’s new order.
This is the world’s joy, the universe’s own evolution and perfection!
It is the reflection of existence’s order more victoriously overcoming void’s disorder!
At this moment, thunder is no longer blind, unfathomable power; under Themis’s guidance, it becomes precise, orderly, and compassionate.
Justice is no longer vain, hollow, fragile creed; under thunder’s stimulation, it gains supreme majesty to execute and judge all.
These two great powers, at the universe’s center, at the Summit of Olympus, intertwine in an elegant, solemn, spiraling upward posture.
Their fusion is the perfect union of authority and laws, the supreme unity of divine authority and rules, and the ultimate embodiment of power and compassion.
All things bathe in this sacred phenomenon, as if returned to creation’s purest “origin,” newly endowed with life and higher meaning.
Harmony and Justice.
When this sacred union reaches its peak, an ultimate phenomenon erupts between heaven and earth, indescribable by any language, incomprehensible by any thought.
From their united light center, three beams containing infinite mysteries slowly rise.
That is the new Great God representing the God King’s supreme will, the embodiment of the universe’s “Future” concept—the Three Fates(Moirai)!
The first roar, like a spinning wheel starting to turn, is Clotho’s birth.
Her appearance gives time and space, for the first time, the structure to bear “Future” threads.
She incorporates all things and spirits into the God King’s new order, using chaos as raw material, to spin future destiny threads, weaving all future possibilities.
The second beam, balanced like scales, is Lachesis’s birth.
Her appearance gives “Future”‘s length and quality a standard of measurement henceforth.
The world is thus filled with orderly cause and effect and rules; under her fair measurement, all spirits manifest their own power, performing the value of their existence.
The third thunderbolt, decisive like scissors, is Atropos’s birth.
Her appearance gives all things’ end a final, unalterable verdict henceforth.
The world thus has irreversible endpoints and transformations. “Past” cannot be traced, “occurred” cannot be changed, “Time” cannot flow backward. All must end; what begins must end.
Henceforth, every thunder roar becomes the grand celestial sound of the Three Fates’ spinning wheel turning and scissors opening and closing; Themis’s Justice light becomes the wisdom light guiding their hands, directing every life thread’s weaving.
And all of it will absolutely, indisputably, proceed under Zeus’s will!
Zeus, the great father of Destiny!
Yet, this sacred gestation is still not over.
After the omniscient God King and Justice Order birthed the three great goddesses controlling destiny order, in that sacred union, three more equally brilliant radiances are vigorously growing!
Finally, another three beams slowly rise, that is the new laws manifesting, the universe’s new order embodying in the real world, Zeus’s sacred manifestation of compassion and justice within the universe—the Three Hours Goddesses(Horae)!
The first gentle beam, like dawn’s first clear light, is Eunomia’s birth.
She is the goddess of discipline, law, and good order; her appearance gives civilization order and discipline to follow, making the world harmonious and organized.
The second sharp beam, like balancing light cast by scales, is Dike’s birth.
She is the Goddess of Justice; she oversees mortal law enforcement, punishing all injustice with the Righteous Path’s majesty. Her appearance gives “Justice” measurable standards, filling the world with fairness and morality henceforth.
The third warm beam, like new green sprouting on olive branches, is Eirene’s birth.
She is the goddess of Peace; she symbolizes prosperity and tranquility brought by order and justice. Her appearance gives “Peace” the firmest foundation, filling the world with peace and tranquility.
They are not only goddesses of Justice Order, but also initial “Time Order” goddesses.
When spring buds break ground on time, autumn fruits ripen as scheduled, all spirits rest on schedule, time is no longer chaos devouring all, but a rational scale that can be measured and anticipated.
In the sacred cycle of twelve months, seasonal criteria guiding all things and spirits in nurture and rest are born.
Eunomia—Cultivation Season(Legislative Season); Dike—Growth Season(Justice Season); Eirene—Harvest Season(Peace Season).
Henceforth, from sowing ideals(Cultivation Season), to practicing beliefs(Growth Season), to harvesting fruits(Harvest Season), all spirits and things’ existence trajectories spiral upward under these three goddesses’ eternal song.
They govern day-night alternation, seasonal cycles; this is not mere natural phenomena, but the universe’s reconquest of “disorder.”
Every return of Cultivation Season is not simple replication, but carrying memory and experience from the previous Harvest Season; every seasonal transition brings existence’s operation closer to perfect order.
This is not meaningless repetitive cycles, but cycles of progress absorbing all experience and lessons in order, spiraling upward.
Time Order’s cycles are not cages, but great ladders allowing existence to accumulate, precipitate, and ultimately leap upward.
Civilization transcends in repetition, existence evolves in cycles, order perfects in evolution.
Flowers bloom with seasons, rivers follow courses; sacred order becomes all things’ instinctive rhythm.
The Goddess of Seasons imbue flowing time with “beginning and end,” “growth and convergence” through their steps, elevating existence from “meaningless passage” to “purposeful unfolding.”
Justice Order, Time Order, all combed by the Goddess of Seasons.
The universe’s essence is not chaotic chance, but ordered necessity; time is not void passage, but laws’ carrier; Justice is not abstract concept, but inevitable fruit maturing in seasons.
Facing chaos, void, impermanence, the universe spirals upward in sacred rhythm, evolving toward clearer, fairer, richer existence.
This evolution is the world’s deepest joy, existence’s eternal pursuit of its “ought to be”!
Themis’s scales represent the intrinsic order of universal existence, while Zeus’s thunder represents that sacred transcendent laws.
Zeus controls all seasons within the world, and transcends beyond to decree all seasons; He manifests Himself through seasonal rhythm.
Zeus, the great father of Time and Order!
When dark clouds gradually subside, a band of light spanning the Three Realms and Three Domains, composed of myriad divine lights, hangs in the sky.
That is the eternal crystal of sacred, Justice, order, and thunder’s fusion.
Countless tiny world embryos swim in the light band, each growing in laws, balancing in Justice, shining in sanctity.
This is not reconstruction after destruction, but glorious radiant evolution of awakened existence order!
Thunder is no longer judgment’s endpoint, but warm bloodline of flowing laws; order no longer cold constraint, but beautiful contour for all things’ free unfolding; Justice no longer lofty vain gauge, but supreme just Justice will from the God King that every living being must obey.
All gods of the universe, atop the Divine Mountain of Olympus, personally witnessed this great, Heaven and Earth Separation-like moment.
Zeus’s thunder is no longer merely symbol of power and force, but eternal tender guardian of Justice and order.
As the phenomenon gradually fades, thunder sound returns to silence, sacred light fully integrates into all things.
The world becomes more solid, brighter, and more ordered.
Every wisp of wind carries Justice’s whisper, every speck of dust flickers with order’s radiance; all things and spirits tightly connect to this new order network, everything bearing indelible destiny imprint.
This is not the end.
This is the glorious prelude to a great New Era, the magnificent opening of sacred order laws and world all things’ harmonious co-evolution.
The world becomes clear with Destiny’s guidance, stable with order’s constraint, and welcomes its true, glorious evolution from this great union!
The “Sacred Justice Heavenly Dao Order” enveloping all by God King Zeus, the “Heavenly Dao Divine Network Rules Network” He weaves, now finally, in “Destiny” and “Seasons”‘ ultimate form, thoroughly incorporates everything.
Justice and order have become the fundamental laws of universe operation.
This is the true, God King-belonging Sacred Justice Order!
Everything is within it.
A Golden Age filled with laws, order, Justice, and hope has arrived.
And God King Zeus, after obtaining “Reality’s Existence” and “Past’s All,” finally also obtained “Future’s Destiny” and “Existence’s Seasons.”
The omniscient God King has nearly achieved absolute omniscience!
The invincible God King is henceforth even more invincible.
The omniscient supreme God King and Sacred Justice’s order goddess, their world-shaking sacred union lasted a full ten days and nights.
And the three Destiny goddesses born therein, at that initial moment, all manifested as three flawless holy Young Goddesses.
Yet soon, to better fulfill their supreme sacred duties, under their respective divinity’s guidance, they evolved new incarnations.
As the “Weaver”(Initial Weaver) Clotho, she has little change, still a maiden holding spinning spindle and distaff, eyes bright as newborn stars.
Her spinning spindle is the creation Supreme Divine Artifact containing infinite possibility; that distaff is the destiny scepter for combing and controlling destiny trajectories.
As the “Allocator”(Life Decider) Lachesis, her form appears slightly older, becoming a blooming woman with eyes full of wisdom and loving-kindness, holding a scroll recording all things and a golden rule rod.
Her scroll records all things and spirits’ life length and weight; that golden rod measures destiny’s “deserved” fortune, misfortune, and variables.
As for Atropos symbolizing the “Irreversible”(Life Ender), this initially charming maiden, with a sly turn of her bright eyes, instead became a withered-faced crone etched with wrinkles, feigning a sinister mysterious smile.
She holds massive bronze scissors; between opening and closing, they spark ghostly blue soul flames representing end.
These scissors precisely sever destiny threads’ final moments, placing an unalterable, absolute period on every entity, every event.
She represents life’s endpoint, Death’s inevitability, and Destiny’s final judgment.
Spinning spindle, distaff, scroll, rod, scissors. They are tools of creation and destruction, most direct symbols of the God King’s control over all in the universe’s new order, Supreme Divine Artifacts reflecting God King’s majesty and compassion.
Clotho may use distaff to wind destiny threads into inescapable cages; but her spinning spindle forever weaves new beginnings.
Lachesis’s scroll may have written all beings’ fate numbers; but her rod forever leaves space for free will to maneuver.
Atropos’s scissors can coldly sever unfulfilled dreams; yet they can also mercifully end unbearable pain.
Clotho weaves “Future” in the “Present”; Atropos severs “Past” in the “Future.”
And Lachesis tells you in the “Now”: write every moment well, for with “Past” and “Present,” the hoped-for future can unfold.
Clotho symbolizes destiny’s starting point unchoosable, Atropos destiny’s endpoint unavoidable, but Lachesis’s existence still grants all life supreme dignity.
Though Destiny exists, predestined end outcome will come, but all spirits’ life processes have no necessity; all spirits still possess the right to strive against Destiny.
Brilliant life, even on supreme Destiny weave, can carve profound unique eternal marks with its own will.
This is the great father of all spirits, most benevolent God King Zeus, bestowing the greatest bounty upon all beings.
Just like the initial Ruler of Spirituality, in His final moment, He chose not to erase all, but mercifully granted “spiritual freedom” to all beings!
Now, the new generation’s great father of all spirits does the same, generously granting all beings the right to experience and influence Destiny!
Free will shall forever belong to all beings!
End will come, but how the end is, is written by all spirits themselves.
And the Three Hours Goddesses, these three Young Goddesses representing discipline, Justice, and Peace, their divine essence is eternally holy, noble, bright, flawless, radiant, sacred, majestic, benevolent, wise.
Thus they have no changes, still maintaining that eternally pure maiden form.
They are goddesses maintaining natural cycles and civilization’s basic order, most faithful executors of universe basic laws, absolutely just, absolutely sacred, absolutely flawless; hence, they are also eternal virgin goddesses, bringing the God King’s justice and compassion to all existence.
The three Destiny goddesses, as secondary administrators of Heavenly Dao Order, will forever assist their mother goddess Themis, supervising and judging all of the universe.
While the three Goddess of Seasons, as direct maintainers of universe Heavenly Dao Order, help their mother goddess comb the universe’s smooth operation.
These six newborn goddesses possessing supreme authority, after birth, very sensibly smiled at each other, quietly bowed and exited the Divine Palace, not disturbing their father god and mother goddess’s happy intimacy.
Zeus tightly embraces his beloved goddess in his arms, feeling her clear breath with a hint of urgency, affectionately rubbing his cheek against the Goddess of Justice’s flushed hot face.
He said warmly: “My love, I finally truly possess you. Look, our children are so lovely.”
“With our six lovely children assisting you, even if future universe affairs are ever so numerous, you won’t be so exhausted.”
Themis goddess, fully immersed in her beloved God King’s endless love, has indescribable emotion in her heart.
Zeus truly gave her without reservation everything all universe gods dream of!
Needless to say, she is the indisputable “universe executive vice God King”!
Firmly holding great power!
Unless Zeus personally intervenes, all universe laws and order will be in her grasp.
Even as Zeus’s first wife, the Goddess of Wisdom Metis, or the gentle beautiful Dione, or the Omniscient Goddess Mnemosyne, none received such substantial and exalted honor as her.
Of course, the Sacred Justice order goddess absolutely will not act recklessly in the slightest.
Otherwise, Zeus would never delegate nearly the entire universe’s governance to her.
For the sacred Goddess of Justice, whether Zeus or all universe gods, all existence, everyone absolutely trusts her.
The God King might mess around, but the Lady of Justice absolutely will not!
Zeus himself cannot guarantee he won’t go wild, but Zeus absolutely believes in Themis.
Moreover, Themis’s ability is absolutely no problem; entrusting trivia to Themis and the children, he himself can relax much more.
Hmm. This way, he can have much more free time.
Charming and alluring Themis utterly obeys her beloved God King’s every action, docilely fitting her entire divine body against Zeus.
Like the holy snow mountain summit, its eternal unmelted ice layer finally completely melts under blazing sun, becoming slowly flowing clear yet charmingly soft ice spring.
Unprecedented coquettish-toned words slowly flow from her charmingly radiant bright thin lips: “Zeus… my God King, my beloved… how fortunate am I?”
“As Order’s me, to have a master like you, what more could I extravagance?”
“Zeus, my sole love, eternal master, Themis swears to you with my divinity here: you are forever my only.”
“Great Zeus, my beloved, I love you so much…”
Zeus’s thunder-containing great hands slowly roam over flawless beautiful jade.
Suddenly hearing Themis’s fervent confession, his heart is instantly deeply moved by the Goddess of Justice’s most firm, indisputable words.
The same words from different gods’ mouths have completely different weight and meaning.
Love words from this goddess symbolizing absolute “Justice” and “Order,” their lethality is so great even God King Zeus cannot resist.
He only feels myriad tenderness instantly filling his entire chest from his heart, his inner self becoming unprecedentedly soft.
But per God King conservation law, inner hardness does not disappear, only transfers elsewhere.
The never-separated two gods intimately embrace, a more scorching powerful divine power surge abruptly rises, clearly perceived by the sacred Justice goddess.
Charming Themis dotingly yet helplessly glances at Zeus.
But in her beloved God Lord’s embrace, strong as she is, she can only absolutely unreservedly submit.
She is too moved by all Zeus did for her, and long ago hopelessly in love with this God King she knows is promiscuous yet deeply devoted to her.
The Lady of Justice’s holy divine body slightly rolls in the God King’s embrace, making a greatly presumptuous move.
Order boldly presses atop the God King, extremely proactively beginning to serve her beloved God King, bringing supreme joy to this aroused God King.
To love a god is to bring Him pleasure.
Justice Order, facing her true beloved master, lacks no initiative.
Zeus contentedly exhales an utmost comfortable breath, righteously enjoying sacred order’s unprecedented initiative.
He inwardly praises endlessly: As expected of Themis! Combat power is formidable! Worthy of steady top five in the current universe, even vying for top three female powerhouse(excluding Zeus)!
Full ten days and nights, yet still so proactively exerting agency, combat power and passion truly commendable!
If it were dear Metis, probably less than half the time, she’d only have strength to passively endure, no power to counter.
Even the Omniscient Goddess Mnemosyne, after nine sleepless days and nights, would beg for mercy.
Though, whoever it is, before this Thunder God Lord, ultimately can only burst dams and flood, utterly defeated.
After another two happy days, Zeus finally returned with radiant, charmingly radiant enough to astonish gods Themis lady, and his six new children, to the gods’ feast.
