Chapter 410: The Sacrifice of Divinity

The ascension to Godhood had come with countless rewards—immeasurable power, omnipotence, and the ability to create and shape existence itself. However, for Sung Jin-Woo, Ashborn, and Sung Su-Ho, there was one silent, immutable cost: the ability to reproduce.

In achieving divinity, their forms had transcended the physical constraints of mortal existence. They had become beings of pure energy and will, with every fiber of their essence dedicated to maintaining the balance of the multiverse. This transformation rendered them incapable of the mortal act of procreation.

Sung Jin-Woo, seated on his celestial throne within the True Absolute One Domain Realm, pondered this cost. He gazed upon the boundless realms he had forged and the innumerable beings who now thrived under his rule.

"I gave up one gift," he thought, "to bestow countless others."

Though he could no longer create life in the traditional sense, the legacy of his family was secure. His son, Sung Su-Ho, had countless descendants who carried forth his bloodline, ensuring that the Sung name would never fade.

Similarly, Ashborn had long accepted this price. As the progenitor of the shadow army and the first Celestial Being, his creations were his children, his soldiers his legacy.

For Sung Su-Ho, who had only recently ascended to godhood, the realization was bittersweet. While he could no longer expand his direct lineage, he found solace in the thriving realms of dragons and mortals he had nurtured.

The Divine Triad may have lost the ability to reproduce biologically, but their powers allowed them to create life on an incomprehensible scale.

Sung Jin-Woo shaped beings of shadow and light, crafting entities that filled the void and the abyss. These creations, while not born of flesh, carried his essence and purpose.

Ashborn continued to cultivate the Celestial Realms, ensuring their inhabitants flourished under his divine care.

Sung Su-Ho breathed life into the Dragon Realms, creating entire ecosystems of dragons, wyverns, and mythical creatures to populate the cosmos.

Through these acts of creation, they found fulfillment and purpose, ensuring the multiverse was filled with thriving life.

Sung Jin-Woo looked to his son, Sung Su-Ho, during a rare moment of reflection. "Though we've given up much, our legacy is eternal. Our descendants, our creations, our worlds—they are the testament to what we've built."

Su-Ho nodded, his draconic aura blazing with determination. "The bloodline may not continue from us, but it will always endure through those we've already created. And our creations will stand as proof of our purpose."

Ashborn, standing at their side, added with a calm smile, "Godhood is not about what we lose, but what we can give. And we have given creation itself a future."

Though they had sacrificed their ability to reproduce, the Divine Triad found their roles as creators, protectors, and stewards of the multiverse far outweighed any personal loss. Their power ensured not only the survival of existence but its flourishing.

Their descendants, creations, and followers carried their essence forward, ensuring the Sung name—and their legacy—would remain eternal.
