Ten Years Later...
At the edge of the Nine Heavens, within the Temple of Supreme Creation.
"Supreme Divinity, thirty days ago, King Full of the second dimension of the Dragon Ball Realm carried out destruction upon the principal universe of the Pirates of the Caribbean Realm. The facts have been fully investigated. According to the 'Universal Regulations' you established and after deliberation by the gods, the verdict is: death for King Full of the second dimension in the Dragon Ball Realm."
"Approved."
"Your Highness, Esdeath, Goddess of War of the Third Legion has reported back. The forces under King Full of the second dimension in the Dragon Ball Realm have now been eliminated; she requests permission to return."
"Approved. Assign Zhixin, Divine Judge, to maintain order within the second dimension of the Dragon Ball Universe."
"Yes! Your Highness, Liang Bing, Freedom Goddess of the First Legion has just reported that the crisis threatening Chaldea's Dimension in the Fate World has been resolved, but Chaldea lacks the resources to pay for rescue costs. They request dimensional development as repayment via installments."
"Approved."
"Your Highness, at precisely two-thirty yesterday morning, Rimuru Tempest, Low God of the Transmigration World, successfully completed the [Nine Heavens Trial]. The Creation Engine has matched his 'Evolution' cosmic law. His title shall be Deity of Evolution. Please determine the official date of investiture."
"Make it noon then. Have Kai, Order Deity handle the arrangements."
"Yes! Your Highness, the dimensional collision event between the Jujutsu Kaisen World and Soul Binding Street World which erupted the day before yesterday has now been clarified..."
"..."
A full hour passed.
With assistance from the Creation Engine, Kei Yamanaka handled the majority of issues brought forth during the Supreme Council meeting, tossing every trouble onto subordinates before finally gaining some freedom.
Originally, many matters on the Supreme Council agenda could be quickly processed with conceptual data reports alone, thanks to the Realm Acceleration System linking all realms into one.
Yet most members of the Supreme Wisdom Academy, led by Nara Shikaku, believed:
The existence of the Supreme Council was a demonstration of divine laws' fairness and openness throughout the god realm, serving as an important mechanism to preserve stability among gods, significantly reinforcing divine authority while fostering cross-realm communication.
Though Kei found this burdensome, for long-term stability and development, he agreed to keep it running.
But no sooner had he stood at the edge of the Nine Heavens for long,
When Ram and Rem, the two maid-clad sisters with blue and pink short hair respectively, came rushing over.
"Your Highness, the [Tenth Universal Divine Competition] will begin at two PM today. Tsunade, Healing Goddess has left word reminding you: if you dare arrive late, you'll be facing ten years on the couch."
Ram curtsied gracefully, her skirt fluttering gently, looking as obedient as ever.
"I see... I understand."
Kei pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling helpless over Lady Tsunade's unchanging tone even after ten years.
"Your Highness, please."
With a wave of her hand, Rem activated [Spatial Magic], summoning a small table, teapot, tea set, pastries, and chair.
Seeing Kei wave them off,
Ram and Rem bowed again and dashed away.
"Onee-san, Onee-san, His Majesty's status in the household sure is submissive. Just being late means ten years on the couch—how pitiful."
Rem tugged lightly on her sister Ram's sleeve, murmuring a quick taunt.
"Rem, Rem, Your Eminence has no standing in the family whatsoever. According to Order Goddess Kaisha's words, those who are unfaithful in love do not deserve mercy."
"Onee-san, Onee-san, Rem wants to put a cushion on the couch; it'll be more comfortable for Your Eminence when sleeping."
"Rem Rem, then let's add a super-long acupressure pad! Ram will ask the God of Suffering to grant a Painful Blessing. That way, Goddesses of Healing, Sealing, Order, Freedom, War, Death, and over thirty other goddesses will all thank us."
"Ram! I can hear you!"
Kei Yamanaka glared with displeasure as the two little maids hurried away.
The pink and blue fluff balls stiffened momentarily before their tiny feet started stomping furiously, quickly rushing into the residence behind the temple.
Kei Yamanaka rolled his eyes in exasperation.
He'd already made up his mind to discipline them properly later!
After all, they were his own personal maids, yet they still accepted bribes from other goddesses. How outrageous!
Several hours later.
As the coronation ceremony for Evolution God Rimuru Tempest concluded, the Jambudvipa Tree within the Supreme Divine Realm emitted radiant light.
Innumerable fireworks and salutes exploded across the sky once again.
Before the Nine Heavens, projections encircling the entire Jambudvipa Tree unfolded. Regardless of their strength, beings from countless worlds across the multiverse looked up at the projections.
This was a grand celebration participated by tens of thousands of deities from all across the universes!
It was also the ultimate contest where gods vied for ascension!
Healing Goddess Tsunade, Sealing Goddess Kushina, Death Primordial God Death, Charm Goddess Shi Yi, Order Goddess Kaisha, Battle God Kakarot, Food Junior God Kon'na Kamuy, Thunder Junior God Angel Yan, Witch Junior God Erena, Berserker Junior God Madara Uchiha...
Countless top-tier gods, Junior Gods, and Aide Gods—all had their power suppressed to the Seventh Layer of the Nine Heavens, the stage of Aide Gods.
An unrestricted, level playing field free-for-all.
Intense clashes between various concepts and special abilities—just glimpsing even a fragment of this could be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for lifeforms below the level of Aide Gods!
There wasn't the slightest opening speech, nor was there a host.
Yet the celestial live feed in the sky firmly captured the gazes of infinite living beings.
Many of them might lack the potential to step onto the path of eternity and immortality, ultimately turning to dust, swept away by the tide of time—
Just like you, just like me.
But the essence of life has never been about resisting extinction, but rather about the way one danced with time.
Most living beings are merely insignificant glacial crystals adrift in the universe's rising entropy.
Yet the light refracted by those glacial crystals forms a radiant rainbow!
No algorithm can replicate the posture of life dancing together with miracles. That brilliance transcends all of creation!
May your lives be vibrant, and your futures shine bright!
