Chapter 188: The Twelve Divine Beings
Chapter 188: The Twelve Divine Beings
The Divine Triad-Sung Jin-Woo, Sung Su-Ho, and Ashborn-had long been the central figures of worship and reverence across the multiverse. Their names echoed throughout the realms, representing the pinnacle of power and divine authority. However, as the centuries passed, a new era dawned, and the divine hierarchy was expanded to encompass more than just the original three. Now, the Duo Dragons and the Seven Dragons had been raised to the status of divine beings, bringing the total number of gods to twelve.
This revelation, broadcasted across the multiverse by the centillions of shadow soldiers under the command of the Seven Dragons and the Duo Dragons, sent ripples through the cosmic tapestry. The news was shared with believers, worshippers, and the multitudes of subjects who had long revered the old gods. It was an unprecedented moment of transformation, as the divine pantheon was no longer limited to three entities, but had expanded to a dozen divine beings.

The Twelve Divine Beings were not just symbols of power but embodied distinct aspects of the multiverse's existence-creation, destruction, life, death, peace, conflict, and all the forces that shaped reality itself. Each deity brought forth their own unique influence and governance over their domains, and their combined strength ensured the multiverse's continued order and progression.
The centillions of shadows that spread the news ensured that every corner of the multiverse, from the deepest abyss to the highest celestial heights, was informed of this monumental change. Worshippers, who had once offered their devotion solely to The Divine Triad, now found themselves presented with new choices. They could continue to worship their familiar gods-particularly Sung Jin-Woo, who remained the central figure as the God of Shadows and Life, God of Creation and Abundance-or they could turn to the newly ascended Duo Dragons and the Seven Dragons, each of whom now held the divine mantle.

The Response of the Believers and Worshippers:
The multitudes reacted with awe and reverence as the news spread. Across the realms, many continued to offer their devotion to the Divine Triad, particularly Sung Jin-Woo, who remained the most widely worshipped. His domain as the God of Creation and Abundance resonated deeply with the beings of the multiverse, as many sought his favor for prosperity, creation, and the continuation of life.
However, the newly ascended gods found their own spheres of influence expanding rapidly. Worshippers who once looked up to the Duo Dragons and the Seven Dragons now recognized them as equal divine entities. The Seven Dragons, in particular, garnered a following from those who admired their unique attributes and the personal realms they had created. These new gods represented not just power but hope for the future, embodying the aspects of leadership, passion, strategy, knowledge, and progress.

The Shift in Devotion and Worship:
Despite the expanding divine hierarchy, the multiverse's belief systems remained deeply rooted in tradition. Most beings continued to honor Sung Jin-Woo above all, seeing him as the ultimate god of Shadows and Life, the embodiment of creation and abundance. His legacy and influence were far-reaching, and the faith in his eternal reign remained unwavering.
However, some worshippers began to divide their reverence, offering prayers and sacrifices not only to Sung Jin-Woo but to the newly ascended Duo Dragons and Seven Dragons. The shift in worship was gradual but undeniable. Temples, shrines, and sanctuaries dedicated to these new deities began to emerge, spreading across the realms like wildfire.

The Future of Worship in the Multiverse:
As the Twelve Divine Beings solidified their roles as gods of the multiverse, the balance of power and faith in the cosmos shifted. New orders of priests, followers, and disciples formed, each group dedicated to serving the divine beings that aligned with their aspirations. The realms were alive with new religious fervor, as mortals sought the favor of gods who embodied the very essence of their desires.
But despite the changing tides of devotion, one truth remained clear: Sung Jin-Woo remained the cornerstone of the divine pantheon. His status as the God of Shadows and Life, God of Creation and Abundance, and his influence over the multiverse continued to reign supreme.
With the establishment of the Twelve Divine Beings, the multiverse entered a new era of divine complexity. The lines between gods and their followers became even more intricate, and the legacy of the Sung Dynasty was now solidified as a cosmic force, shaping the future of all existence.
