Far beyond the mortal skies, beyond even the layered heavens where immortals resided, there existed a realm untouched by time and untouched by change—the Supreme Heavenly Abode.
It was vast.
Silent.
Endless.
Worlds shimmered below like scattered lights, each moving within its own fate, its own laws. Yet above them all, this realm remained still, as if nothing could ever disturb it.
And yet—
That day, laughter echoed.
---
On a floating platform made of soft, glowing light, two small figures lay on their stomachs, peering down at the countless worlds below.
They looked no older than seven.
Small.
Delicate.
Innocent.
Yet their very existence carried a weight that no world could contain.
They were twins.
Tian Hào and Tian Rán.
Children of the Supreme Heavenly Dao and the Supreme Heavenly Empress.
---
Tian Rán swung her legs in the air, her voice bright and full of energy.
"Look, look! That world almost collapsed!"
Tian Hào glanced down lazily.
"It didn't."
"It almost did," she insisted, sitting up and pointing dramatically.
"If I had pushed it just a little—"
"You already did last time."
She froze.
Then slowly turned toward him.
"That was an accident."
---
"You said that the last three times."
Tian Rán puffed her cheeks.
"That's because it was!"
Tian Hào didn't reply.
Because arguing with her never changed anything.
---
She suddenly flopped onto her back, staring at the endless sky above.
"I'm bored…"
"You always are."
"There's nothing fun anymore!"
She rolled toward him, grabbing his sleeve.
"Let's do something!"
Tian Hào looked at her calmly.
"You created five worlds this week."
---
"I know!"
She sat up instantly.
"One where fish fly."
"One where people speak backwards."
"One where time loops every hour—"
She paused.
Then frowned.
"…Still boring."
Tian Hào blinked.
"…Of course."
Silence followed.
A rare one.
This time—
Tian Rán didn't argue.
---
Instead, she curled her knees slightly, her voice becoming softer.
"…It's been too long."
---
Tian Hào's gaze shifted downward.
He didn't need to ask.
---
In the mortal world—
Twenty years had passed.
But here—
Only two years and eight months.
---
Time was nothing to them.
But absence—
Was different.
---
Tian Rán hugged her knees.
"They didn't come back…"
Her voice was quiet now.
"Not even once."
---
Tian Hào remained still.
"They won't."
---
She looked at him.
"Why?"
---
"Because they didn't go there as who they are."
---
She frowned.
"I don't care."
Her voice was small—
But stubborn.
"They're still our parents."
---
That simple truth lingered.
Unchallenged.
---
Suddenly—
She stood up.
Her expression changed completely.
"I'm going."
---
Tian Hào sighed softly.
"To the mortal world?"
---
"Yes."
She nodded firmly.
"I want to see them."
"I want to know what they're doing."
"And why they stayed so long."
---
Tian Hào watched her for a moment.
Then—
He stood too.
---
"I'm coming."
---
Tian Rán blinked.
"You are?"
---
"If I don't, you'll cause trouble."
---
"I will not!"
---
"You reversed a world because you were curious."
"That was one time!"
---
He said nothing.
---
She looked away.
"…Maybe a little."
---
Then suddenly—
She grabbed his hand.
"Let's go!"
---
He stopped her.
"Wait."
---
She turned.
"What now?"
---
"You can't go like this."
---
She blinked.
"Oh."
---
In an instant—
Her overwhelming aura disappeared.
Hidden completely.
Now—
She looked like nothing more than a normal seven-year-old girl.
---
Tian Hào did the same.
Suppressing everything.
---
Tian Rán smiled brightly.
"Now we're ready!"
---
Without hesitation—
She stepped forward.
---
The space before them rippled softly.
Not breaking.
Not opening.
---
It simply moved aside.
---
And in the next moment—
They were gone.
---
Far below—
In the mortal world—
Something shifted.
---
High above the capital, two small figures appeared quietly, their feet not yet touching the ground.
---
At that exact moment—
The Heavenly Dao of this world became aware.
---
A presence.
No—
Two.
---
Small.
Light.
Almost like children.
---
Yet—
Behind that—
Something vast.
Something ancient.
Something far beyond its own existence.
---
The Heavenly Dao fell silent.
---
It did not interfere.
It did not act.
---
But it watched.
---
Carefully.
---
Because it understood something immediately—
---
These two did not belong here.
---
Its awareness deepened.
Observing them more closely.
---
Their forms.
Their presence.
Their essence.
---
And then—
A realization formed.
---
Not complete.
Not fully understood.
---
But enough.
---
These two children—
Were not ordinary beings.
---
They were connected—
To something higher.
---
Something above even itself.
---
The Heavenly Dao stilled.
---
"…Children of the Supreme…"
---
It could not fully comprehend.
Could not fully confirm.
---
But instinct—
And the laws of existence—
Told it one thing.
---
They were the children of the current Supreme Heavenly Dao and Supreme Heavenly Empress.
---
And yet—
---
Why were they here?
---
That—
It could not understand.
---
So it did not act.
---
It simply watched.
---
Carefully.
Silently.
---
Below—
Tian Rán landed lightly on the ground, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
"This place is fun already!"
---
Tian Hào stepped beside her, calm as always.
"You haven't even seen anything yet."
---
She grinned.
"Then let's explore!"
---
Without waiting—
She ran forward.
---
Tian Hào followed, unhurried.
---
Above them—
Unseen.
Unnoticed.
---
The Heavenly Dao continued watching.
---
Observing their every step.
Every movement.
Every laugh.
---
Trying to understand—
---
Why two children—
Who should never have left the highest realm—
Had come to a world like this.
---
Closing Line
As laughter echoed softly through the mortal world—
The Heavenly Dao remained silent—
Watching—
Waiting—
Because even it could not predict—
What two playful children of the Supreme Heavens would do next.
