Chapter 322: The Seven Rulers and the New Order

Long ago, the Seven Rulers, once known as the Fragments of Brilliant Light, orchestrated the downfall of the former Absolute Being, plunging the realms into chaos. After their rebellion, these once-mighty entities secluded themselves, residing on one of the Planets of the Heavenly Soldiers, hidden amidst the infinite expanse of the Absolute Realm Universe.

Here, they constructed imposing castles—fortresses of their ancient power—surrounded by their old heavenly soldiers, remnants of an era long past. These soldiers, created under the rule of the former Absolute Being, remained steadfast in their loyalty to the Seven Rulers.

The ascension of the Divine Triad—Ashborn, Sung Jin-Woo, and Sung Su-Ho—marked a new era in the multiverse. The creation of new heavenly soldiers imbued with the divine essence of the Triad reshaped the power dynamics of the realms. These soldiers, born from the divine trees and fruits under the Triad's reign, swore absolute loyalty to their creators, particularly to Sung Jin-Woo, the Shadow God, God of Creation and Abundance, and God of Life.

The allegiance of the newer heavenly soldiers highlighted the growing isolation of the Seven Rulers and their armies. Once revered as paragons of power, the Rulers now stood as relics of an outdated order, overshadowed by the overwhelming might of the Divine Triad.

The planet, a vast expanse of radiant landscapes and celestial architecture, bore the marks of the Seven Rulers' influence. Each ruler's castle reflected their unique essence, towering monuments to their once-glorious reign. The old heavenly soldiers, clad in armor reminiscent of the past Absolute Being's design, patrolled the grounds with unwavering diligence.

Despite their isolation, the Rulers watched the expansion of Sung Jin-Woo's power with unease. His unmatched divinity, his creations, and his influence over the multiverse reminded them of their former master—a being they had betrayed and destroyed.

While the Seven Rulers clung to their old ways, the influence of the Divine Triad continued to grow. The heavenly soldiers created by Sung Jin-Woo and the Triad far outnumbered the forces of the Seven Rulers, and their strength surpassed anything the Rulers could muster.

The loyalty of the new heavenly soldiers to Sung Jin-Woo was absolute. His power as the Shadow God, coupled with his roles as the God of Creation and Life, had forged an unbreakable bond between him and his creations. Even the Planets of the Heavenly Soldiers, once bastions of the old order, now resonated with his divine presence.

From his Umbra Citadel, Sung Jin-Woo turned his All-Seeing Eyes toward the planet of the Seven Rulers. He observed their fortresses, their soldiers, and their lingering pride. Though they were relics of the past, he did not dismiss them entirely. Instead, he saw their existence as a reminder of the cyclical nature of power and betrayal.

"Even the brightest lights cast shadows," he mused. "They are relics of an era long gone. If they choose to remain as such, their end is inevitable. But should they challenge the new order…"

His voice echoed across the Umbra Citadel, carrying an unspoken promise:

"No power, old or new, can stand against me."

The Seven Rulers faced a choice: to align themselves with the Divine Triad, embracing the new era, or to cling to their past glories, risking annihilation. The presence of Sung Jin-Woo, whose divinity now reached every corner of the multiverse, loomed over their planet like an omnipotent shadow.

The old order was crumbling, and the Seven Rulers could feel the weight of inevitability pressing down upon them.
