Chapter 219
The Sun of Earth welcomed the visit of "Gio’s Portrait" with great delight.
“Were you expecting me?”
She answered yes.
From the moment he first revealed himself beneath Earth’s sunlight, the Sun had marveled at the vast vessel he possessed and laughed joyfully, saying she wished to interact with him.
“I came here today to contemplate what stance a god ought to take.”
What stance a god ought to take?
“My father said a god must be nature itself, a bystander.
If the sun were to descend directly to the surface, there would be no hell greater than that, so remaining distant and observing from afar would be more merciful.”
Earth’s Sun said she disagreed with that view.
“And for what reason?”
Because the Sun always reached out to life.
Every living being born beneath sunlight was her child.
