Although the Great Flood was terrifying, it was still far better than a comet striking Earth head-on.
In the end, thanks to the efforts of all the races, countless ark shelters were built, and only some species went extinct.
However, the comet kept delivering huge amounts of water to Earth. Clearly, that couldn't continue.
The comet was simply too massive. As it revolved around Earth, chunks of ice fell onto the planet every moment, creating global torrential rain.
If all that water had been allowed to fall, the sea level would have risen by several hundred meters.
Therefore, to seal it away, every member of the Fuxi Nuwa clan sent a continent, along with the broken Heavenly Pillar, beyond the atmosphere to wrap around the comet.
In the end, they sealed away all the water remaining in the comet with stone, causing it to form a satellite.
This was the roundest satellite humans had discovered to date—the moon.
Once the tides gradually stabilized, the towering waves subsided as well. Although floods and surging waves still occurred, the highlands emerged above the water.
Afterward, vast amounts of water were frozen in the South Pole and suppressed by a Contained Object capable of freezing objects over a wide area.
Once the sea level returned to normal, all the land emerged from the water. Earth's environment stabilized and became suitable for life, while the temperature gradually warmed.
Thus, the Heavenly Gap became the Heavenly Palace. The life-forms of Earth sacrificed a continent, locked away the comet's remains, and accomplished the great feat of repairing the heavens.
The meaning of "palace" here was actually a gap or breach, so Heavenly Palace still meant a breach in the heavens.
It was just that this "gap" had been repaired into a "palace."
This was because the
