The cosmic vision paused for a moment and then immediately accelerated, causing the next scenes before them to blur, moving at a dizzying speed.

Stars blinked into existence, galaxies manifested, and entire worlds were born and died in seconds.

The universe's consciousness was gone, leaving behind just the universe's heart, becoming smaller and smaller until it resembled a blinding white dot.

Soon enough, a sea of celestial energy surrounded it.

Eventually, the vision slowed, focusing on a particular moment in time; the gathering of the three rulers and the unigins near the universe's heart.

"We weren't shown how their consciousness came to life, but it seems like the universe's heart has attracted them all." Felix shared, his eyes affixed on the gathering.

The vision didn't show them talking to each other or such, it accelerated the time again until it started displaying the unigins and the three rulers fighting each other once in a while for celestial energy.

Those fights resulted in injuries, but nothing too serious.

Everyone watching could see that those fights were more or less for entertainment purposes as everyone was bored immensely in such an empty void.

But then, the vision halted at a crucial moment in the history of the universe...The birth of the Prophecy Tablet.

Out of nowhere, the universe's heart flashed with a blinding light and when it died out, the three rulers and the watchers were startled at the sight of a massive divine tablet, hovering high above their heads.

"What's this..." Medusa murmured in a daze as she examined the shimmering tablet.

"There are some letters and pictures on it." Amun-Ra narrowed his eyes, "Why do those letters seem to be written from a language combining our three celestial languages?"

The first ruler gazed at the letters for a moment before reading them out loud, "In the dawn of a new age, when the stars align and the cosmic tides turn, a kingdom shall rise from the union of might and wisdom. The Three who govern the fabric of existence shall join hands with the Unigins, the keepers of the primordial laws. Together, they shall forge a realm beyond time, the starting line of life..."

After reading it, the three rulers glanced at each other for a few seconds before lifting their heads, and gazing at a hole in the shape of a portal, leading to nothingness.

"The universe's heart..." Medusa murmured the name written underneath the hole and then switched her vision to the real universe's heart next to them.

By now, none of them knew that the small dot next to them was the universe's heart, but when they read its name, it just seemed right.

"Is there really another side inside this dot as we predicted?" Amun-Ra's eyes brightened up.

"Seems like it." The first ruler said calmly, "Our birth source can only be explained by it. Now, it even threw a tablet at us. There is something inside, something behind it, and we must find out."

"What are you saying?" Medusa frowned, "We follow this tablet's peculiar instructions?"

"Why not, we have already tried everything else to no avail." The first ruler nodded, "We have nothing to lose and everything to gain."

"I agree." Amun-Ra said coldly, "I have no interest in being trapped in this dimensional prison forever."

By now, the three rulers had already realized that they were trapped inside the future eternal kingdom's borders, which were nothing but a unique dimension under the universe's heart creation.

They were quite desperate to leave it since there was literally nothing to be done here besides gazing into the void and sometimes battling the unigins as a change of routine.

Since their options were slim to none, Medusa ended up shrugging her shoulders and agreeing with the proposal too.

With that, the three rulers had made their decision to follow the first instruction of many more to come...

"If only they knew their entire purpose in life would be to fulfill a prophecy of their damnation, would they still do it again?" Eris smiled in derision.

"This is really the first step of the entire universe's history." Thor remarked, "What would have happened if they ignored the tablet? Would we still exist?"

"Most likely not." Fenrir shook his head, "The tablet crafted them create us, without it, they wouldn't have bothered to waste even a drop of celestial energy on us."

"Without the primogenitors, the universe wouldn't have been this populated and the elemental manipulations wouldn't be as widespread."

"While humans might still be born, they won't have been able to create their bloodline cultivation system without the beasts," Jörmungandr added with a faint chuckle, "If Felix was born, he would have been just a rich commoner."

"You are underestimating the humans' adaptability." Felix smiled, "I am sure we would have come up with something new to ensure our survival. That's how humans are, it's near impossible to get rid of us."

Felix said it with his whole chest, knowing damn well that the human race was born to stay. With or without a cultivation system, they would always find a way to establish themselves.

However, his life would have been indeed different.

Soon, the vision initiated accelerating again, skipping the creation of the Eternal Kingdom, and many other smaller scenes, including the mission to retrieve the stone of reality.

However, instead of showing Lilith touching the stone of reality, the vision showed her leaving with the squad after she saw them failing horribly.

"Hmm?"

Lilith and the rest were surprised by this, making them understand that the stone was about to show them a different future.

As expected, the vision persisted playing, showing them how the rulers paused the efforts to retrieve the stone of reality and left the unigins to carry on with their lives.

Lilith returned to her palace and persisted antagonizing the unigins for the next billions of years until she got banished by a majority vote.

Then, she remained slumbering in the void realm while the three rulers persisted following the instructions of the tablet, starting with the birth of the primogenitors.

Felix and the primogenitors observed with their own eyes how the first ruler pointed his fingers toward spiritual mirrors, showing many creatures of all sizes and shapes.

"That's me..."

Lord Loki murmured as he eyed a chameleon camouflaged on a tree, bidding its time to prey on a flying bug.

"There I am."

Jörmungandr smiled bitterly, his eyes affixed on a little green snake with purplish scales, slithering on a grass field, oblivious to what was about to come.

Rumble! Rumble!...

The first ruler unleashed divine lighting bolts on each of those creatures, blessing them with part of his powers, intelligence, and strength.

It was like a divine blessing and the tenants could do nothing but keep their eyes attached to their origin, having no idea how to process their emotions.

To see themselves as nothing but dumb creatures following pure instincts crafted them realize that they were indeed blessed.

There were many creatures of the same species as them just nearby, which meant, that if they weren't chosen by the three rulers, their lives would have amounted to nothing...
