Deep space stretched boundlessly, and countless stars dotted the curtain of darkness that extended as far as the eye could see.
At the edge of the Solar System.
The ocean-blue Neptune was dreamlike, like a deep-blue gem in the darkness of deep space, moving through the depths of the cosmos without cease since time immemorial.
It gave off a soft blue glow, hazy and deep, carrying wisps of ethereal grace, breathtakingly beautiful.
Rings of dim light encircled the planet, the ultimate laws of the cosmos bringing forth the ultimate beauty of nature.
Farther beyond this utterly dreamlike ocean-blue planet, a deep-space city glittering with lights abruptly appeared in what had been an empty stretch of the Starry Sky!
It was High Heaven City, which should have floated amid a sea of clouds, yet now roamed the Starsea.
Compared with Neptune, this city in the Starry Sky was as insignificant as a sesame seed on the ground viewed from the heavens.
Yet its radiance was as dazzling as a little Sun.
At the edge of this radiant city in the Starry Sky, the Gods stood at the boundary with deep space.
They faced the Sun and the eight great planets of the Solar System, gazing as far as their eyes could reach, entranced by the beauty of the celestial bodies.
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.
The eight great planets each followed their own courses, as though embodying the principles of the Great Dao and the natural order of Heaven.
Among the Gods, members of the Divine Clan whispered softly to one another.
"Within the Solar System are eight great planets. And our home planet, Earth, is among them."
"It's hard to imagine that a planet as beautiful as Neptune was actually a masterpiece of a previous Epoch's civilization!"
