Chapter 323: A New Era of Peace and Progress
The Shift in Purpose
The former Absolute Being divided creation into light and darkness, assigning opposing purposes to their progeny. The Monarchs, born from primordial darkness, were tasked with destruction, while the Fragments of Brilliant Light were created from primordial light to preserve balance. Their eternal conflict defined the multiverse for eons, a cycle of chaos and order that shaped entire realms.
Now, under the rule of the Divine Triad, led by Sung Jin-Woo, the paradigm had shifted. The cycle of conflict was broken, and a new purpose emerged:
"To protect, nurture, and uplift the realms. To foster civilizations that flourish in harmony, free from the shadow of constant war."

Guardians of the Realms
The Divine Triad established a new divine doctrine, ensuring that every realm was guarded by their infinite armies and creations. Their focus was no longer on conflict but on building a multiverse where civilizations could grow, innovate, and coexist.
Sung Jin-Woo, as the Shadow God, envisioned a multiverse where development and progress replaced war and destruction. His decree was clear:
Wars among realms were forbidden. Any who sought battle could find it in the designated arenas created for that purpose.
Civilizations were encouraged to advance technologically, spiritually, and culturally, under the watchful guidance of the Divine Triad's emissaries.

The Arenas of Endless Conflict
For those who craved the thrill of battle, the Divine Triad created specialized realms:
1. Gladiator's Arenas:
A series of colossal arenas where individuals and groups could engage in battles.
Combat was monitored and controlled, ensuring no harm to the participants beyond the arena.
2. The Eternal Battlefields:
Vast, simulated landscapes where armies could wage endless wars without the consequences of destruction.
Soldiers could test strategies, skills, and strength in an environment that reset after every battle.
These realms provided an outlet for aggression and competition without threatening the peace and stability of the multiverse.

The Outer Realms and Threats
Despite the peace within, the Divine Triad remained vigilant against threats from beyond the multiverse. The outer realms, uncharted and often hostile, posed dangers that could disrupt their vision of harmony. However, the Divine Triad's forces were more than sufficient to face any such threat.
The Apostles of God, Dark Apostles, Heavenly Soldiers, Shadowkins, Dragonkins, and countless other divine troops ensured the realms were impenetrable. The Divine Armada, constantly evolving under Sung Jin-Woo's guidance, stood ready to repel any incursion.
Sung Jin-Woo himself, with his unmatched power, assured the multiverse:
"There is no enemy that we cannot defeat. Rest in the knowledge that your safety is eternal."

The Rulers' Acknowledgment
The Seven Rulers, once responsible for maintaining balance, now found their purpose diminished. Observing the Divine Triad's achievements, they realized that their role as guardians was no longer needed. The Triad's forces were not only sufficient but far surpassed anything the Rulers could muster.
Even their ancient archenemies, the Monarchs, had been subdued by the Divine Triad. The endless cycle of conflict was truly over.
For the first time in eons, the Rulers felt peace. Though they remained as silent witnesses to this new era, they acknowledged the Divine Triad as the ultimate protectors and architects of the multiverse's future.

A Vision Fulfilled
Under the leadership of the Divine Triad, the multiverse entered an age of enlightenment. Wars became relics of the past, confined to the arenas and battlefields created for those who sought them. The realms flourished, their civilizations thriving under the Divine Triad's guidance.
Sung Jin-Woo, from his throne in the Umbra Citadel, watched as his vision unfolded:
A multiverse united in peace, guarded by divine strength, and free to pursue boundless growth.
His words resonated across the realms, a promise to all creation:
"The age of destruction has ended. The age of creation and abundance has begun."
