The Great Elder's steps were steady and resolute. Wherever he passed through the starry sky, glimmering motes of light rained down—a gift from the Great Dao!
The birth of every King was a blessing to heaven and earth, a promise that the age would endure.
The Great Elder's wounds healed rapidly. His white hair regained its luster, and he slowly grew young again.
At last, he arrived before the Throne that symbolized eternity.
Light rippled across the Throne, as though it, too, were cheering for its new master.
The Great Elder did not sit down at once. He looked back at the Myriad Heavens and Worlds he had guarded for millions of years.
He looked at the countless beings gazing at him with hope and reverence.
He looked at Su Bai, Wu Wushuang, Jiuyue, Ye Ziyao... the hopes of a new age.
Relief and contentment filled his eyes.
Every great enemy had been vanquished. Yun Xuan had ascended to the Throne, and the Myriad Heavens and Worlds had been protected. At last, every knot in his heart had come undone.
Then he turned sharply. Without another moment's hesitation, he stepped forward and seated himself firmly upon the Eternal Throne!
Boom!!!
The instant the Great Elder sat down, an unprecedented roar erupted throughout the Myriad Heavens and Worlds!
Boundless golden light burst from the Throne, illuminating the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and piercing past, present, and future!
The laws of the heavens took form like dazzling rivers of stars, swirling around the Throne!
Ten thousand Daos sang in harmony. Auspicious signs descended, golden lotuses sprang from the earth, and celestial maidens scattered flowers... Omens unseen since time immemorial filled every corner of the cosmos!
Radiant kingly light spread from him, shining across All Heavens and washing over the Myriad Realms!
