Chapter 409: The Sea of Constellations and Gods
Five hundred years passed swiftly as the beings of the Ineffable Pantheon had either been busy... or busy with too much pleasure.
Currently, inside the Sacred Dinsion, everyone was gathered inside the Palace at the center of every universe.
The grand central hall was alive with warmth and soft laughter.
The massive circular table was covered with food, wine, and glowing fruits.
Ash sat at the head, relaxed in his usual baggy black clothes, one arm draped casually around Persephone while Nia leaned against his other side.
Around the table, the family was scattered in comfortable chaos.
Seraphiel sat with a gentle glow, her hand resting on her swollen belly.
She was only four hundred eighty years away from giving birth... and it wasn’t just her either.
Yonna lounged nearby, her own belly noticeably rounded — she was a thousand years along, yet still moved with that untad, athletic grace.
And lastly, Seris sat close to her, also a thousand years pregnant, rubbing her stomach absentmindedly while smirking at sothing Madison had said.
The rest of the wives filled the space — along with Xeros, Aurora, Isis, Lirael, and Shia.
And the conversations flowed as one might expect... full of the usual teasing and warmth.
Madison grinned as she glanced at Seraphiel and Yonna.
"We’ve known about Seraphiel for a while, but who would’ve guessed you’d be one of the next to give birth?"
Yonna chuckled, rubbing her belly.
"I guess this is that bastard’s way of teaching
a lesson," she said, her eyes drifting to Ash, who was busy feeding Nia.
Seraphiel chuckled softly, her hand resting gently on her stomach.
"And... he’s even keeping their genders a secret from us."
Aeloris gave her a warm smile.
"Didn’t you all say it was the sa with Aurora?"
Sylvie leaned in, her eyes glinting with playful mischief.
"Speaking of motherhood... how long do you plan on pausing the ’tour’?" She said, "You were so close to the Valkyrie Universes." she playfully pouted.
Ash chuckled, taking a sip of wine.
"Only for a few decades. I still have a few things to sort out before the first Era begins."
Sumr arched a brow as the Goddess of Isolation spoke.
"And what are we calling the years that ca before?"
Nia nodded as she wiped her mouth.
"Right, with all this ti dilation... I’m not even sure how much ti has passed here."
"Well, the period before the first Era will be called B.E., or Before Everything," Ash said.
"And honestly, I don’t know the exact ti either, but I’ll sort that out after dinner."
As the conversations flowed, there were two in particular who had been flustered the entire night.
Creara and Unara suddenly appeared beside Shia and Lirael in a swirl of light, perching playfully on the arms of their seats like mischievous spirits.
Creara leaned in close to Shia, grinning ear to ear.
"Awww, look at you~ Still blushing after a thousand years of watching your younger brother rail his wives?"
Unara, perched beside Lirael, tilted her head with an innocent-yet-not-innocent smile.
"And you, Grandmother Lirael... how dare you fantasize about another man other than your husband?"
Shia let out a small, embarrassed squeak and hid her face in her hands, her ears burning.
"I-I wasn’t watching! I was just... there!"
Lirael cleared her throat, attempting—and failing—to hold onto her usual dignified Matriarch composure, though the flush on her cheeks betrayed her.
"You two are far too cheeky for spirits," she muttered. "It was... just an educational thought, that’s all."
Creara giggled, legs swinging idly.
"Educational? You fantasized for three centuries straight..."
Unara nodded sagely.
"And you whispered ’ next’ during the full nelson part.... Very educational I’d say."
Both Shia and Lirael looked ready to sink into the floor.
Ash, overhearing the teasing, simply chuckled and raised his glass.
"Leave them be.... if you tease them too much, they might run away from the next show~"
Creara and Unara exchanged mischievous glances before Creara leaned in one last ti, whispering loudly enough for everyone to hear:
"Don’t worry~ It’s only just beginning. Master still has a lot more ’touring’ left."
Ash finally stood up, stretching lazily as he looked around at his entire family — wives, children, new additions — with a warm, satisfied smile.
"Alright," he said. "Enough teasing for now. You guys enjoy the rest of the night... I will be busy for a few years."

Ash sat cross-legged in the vast white void of his inner verse, quietly observing as he decided how he wanted to begin the first era.
"Everything is being created for a good story, no?" Elysia said as she appeared in his lap in her full form.
Currently it was just the two of them... like the old tis.
"So, just begin with the MC and his initial beginning... no need to be in-depth right now, only a basis so everything else will flow properly."
Ash smiled as he began to caress her. It was always nice to have your thoughts heard aloud... literally.
"Nullen, Elena, and Rose... the story shall begin with three," he said as he activated an innate power.
|One Sight|
In that mont, his eyes locked onto the Primordia Haven.
The world that was solely for Constellations and God Stars suddenly expanded.
A second layer appeared... then a third... then a fourth.
But these weren’t re layers.
They were literal seas of stars.
The first layer — the original Primordia Haven — remained the foundation: Here all Lesser Constellation and God Stars will reside.
Above it, the second layer ford — a deeper, darker sea of stars, midnight blue where the Greater and Primordial Stars resided.
The third layer rose even higher — a sea of pure white stars, luminous and ethereal, where the Origin Stars would reside.
The fourth and highest layer was breathtaking—an endless golden sea of stars burning with the purest Divinity.
Yet, there was sothing else here... a mountain, entirely white with a single pure black stripe and a hint of deep blue.
Atop this mountain lay a garden filled with the most beautiful flowers, encircling three stars that mirrored the mountain’s colors.
"The Mountain and Garden of Beginnings," Ash murmured as he watched it all take shape.
Connecting all four layers was a single, colossal golden staircase.
"This... will do well," he murmured.
Elysia leaned back against his chest, her golden eyes reflecting the newborn seas of stars.
"Two entangled with one... so deep that even they won’t even know why," she said softly.
"Nullen, Elena, and Rose... I can already see the chaos forming."
Ash laughed as he truly planned for so chaos... however Nullen, the character he had in mind. His journey wouldn’t be shaped by Ash’s hand whatsoever.
"This sea will be his right... however, only if he attains the ability to reach it." He muttered as he then summoned the Codex and began to write.
He wrote for a full five years before he felt everything was good to go.
Ash stood up as the stretched a bit, "For the mont, these three won’t be born. Rose... will be born during Lucy’s Era, the most sinful. While Nullen and Elena will be born in the most chaotic."
Thinking of this he paused for a mont as he muttered sothing.
"Hmm, technically there isn’t another embodint of Chaos... should I find
a Goddess of Chaos?"
He then smiled as he would... do exactly that. As each Era he planned to have in the na of his wives....
But the first... it would his Era.
The Most Ineffable Era, and before it finally comnced, he had to set a few last things in place.
