Chapter #20: [Death Plane: 2]

"Ahhh... So this is what a Deity's Shrine looks like...", I muttered, as I gazed at the gigantic temple in front of me.

The Shrine appeared to be one, majestic, giant temple. On the outside, the whole structure appeared to be held by several giant pillars, each bearing various images and depictions, as well as things written in Runic Language. Only the entrance, had a few pillars, and the spot that didn't had one were replaced by a gigantic doorway instead, with similar intricate designs as the columns.

The entrance was led onto by a long set of stairs, which had random, small linings that seemed to flow with power. The lines were also going continuously to the walls of the temple and inside the floors of it.

Also, unlike the gray surroundings, the temple actually had color, with it being white and the energy going through it being blue, while the writings were gold in color.

"Yes... After a planet's creator dies, their physical body disintegrates and turns into a Shrine. The Shrine usually contains various writings in Runic Language and a way to exit and enter their plane..', Lisa explains to me softly.

Hmmm... So that means there's something to explore inside... Still though, I could not help but wonder on why the ruler of this place died.

"But, I wonder how did the Deity of this place died?", I asked Lisa in curiosity. Deities were the 3RD in Ranking in the 5 Divine Ranks, being above Spirits and Demigods, while being below Gods and Ancient Gods.

So for one to die, my curiosity was of course aroused.

"We're not sure ourselves... But during Ancient Times, even before Karma was created, those who sit on the 5 Divine Rankings waged a war against each other.", She explained to me.

"A war...?", I whispered.

"Yes... We called it 'The Falling', or the 'Era of Change'.", She added.

"But why would they fight against each other? Did something happen?", I asked. I was now very curious.

"It was for the temporary ownership of Earth...", She finally said.

... I couldn't help but twitch in annoyance, but luckily she didn't notice...

... Temporary ownership...? What do they think the planet is? Some sort of apartment?

Seeing me being silenced, Lisa went on with her explanation of what happened on the 'Era of Change'.

"The Primordial... The one who created everything, he was the one who created the Universe, as well as Earth. It made Earth the Center Planet of everything, and those dimensions and other planets that those on the 5 Divine Rankings had created were only treated as minorities and pocket dimensions, inferior to the original world..."

"The Primordial had went into sleep, and let those inhabitants of Earth do their own things, evolving and worshipping those of the 5 Divine Rankings. It went on for a while, and eventually, those sitting down on the 5 Divine Rankings thought that Earth needed a temporary leader to manage it..."

"Those on the 5 Divine Rankings already had their own planets at that time, but also were also able to descend freely down to Earth at anytime."

Hmmm... So I guess this is the reason why those old gods said they couldn't directly interact with Earth huh...

"With that, the war started. It was unclear on who begun it. But the beings bearing that caliber and power was no joke. The Earth was ravaged and it's inhabitants were forced to pick a side or hide in despair..."

"Is Earth really that special? I mean, sure it was the original world created by the Primordial, but they also had their planets too, right?", I suddenly interrupted. I was curious on why would they fight over the planet, even though it's the first world, I feel like it's not an enough reason to fight over it.
