Chapter 82: Solve the Problems from Ground-Up
The airship Artabus glided through the clouds over the Cidatel Republic. Its flight was powered by celestial stones. They were imbued with the divine energy of Aldehir, the heavenly god.
As usual, it conducted its routine observational tasks.
Aldehir was a god, unlike others. He emerged from humanity’s boundless curiosity about the heavens. Inherently incomplete, Aldehir yearned for wholeness, a goal that might forever elude him.
The mysteries of the heavens have always captivated humankind.
Why does lightning flash?
Why does thunder roar? Why does the sun shine? And what sets the stars in motion or brings rainbows to life?
These universal questions ignited a collective yearning to comprehend the sky.
This shared longing birthed Aldehir, a god. He embodied humanity’s insatiable thirst for knowledge and the allure of mystery.
Aldehir grew stronger with every profound exploration of the heavens by his followers.
Unlike the Three Goddesses or the Evil God Omerta, his existence sprang solely from belief. They became divine through human effort and divine power.
This fundamental difference created a divide. The Three Goddesses failed to grasp the nature of Aldehir or the Evil God, just as they struggled to comprehend one another.
