Emperor's Reckoning-Chapter 1177 Seers’ Sanctuary

The ethereal sanctuary, a realm beyond the confines of mundane reality, unfolded with captivating beauty and serenity. Nestled within the fabric of existence, it manifested as a resplendent castle surrounded by an enchanting courtyard adorned with intricately designed carriages and majestic pegasi.

The architecture of the castle, a harmonious blend of celestial elegance and otherworldly craftsmanship, seemed to defy the conventional boundaries of time and space. Towers spiraled gracefully into the sky, each embellished with celestial symbols that shimmered with a radiant glow, casting a gentle luminescence upon the surroundings.

In the courtyard, carriages crafted with meticulous precision bore witness to the artistry of celestial beings. Every curve and embellishment on these conveyances told a tale of craftsmanship that transcended mortal comprehension. Pegasuses, beings of grace and divine majesty, grazed harmoniously in the courtyard, their wings catching the ambient light like a cascade of iridescent hues.

Amid the celestial sanctuary, where the architecture mirrored the divine and the air resonated with tranquility, ethereal beings akin to fairies graced the surroundings. These beautiful women moved with a grace that seemed to defy the boundaries of earthly existence. Their laughter, light and carefree, echoed through the celestial halls, carrying with it a melody that erased the burdens of both yesterday and tomorrow.

The handful of fairy-like beings, each a manifestation of celestial beauty, glided through the enchanted courtyard. Their laughter, a harmonious cadence, seemed to be in tune with the celestial whispers that wafted through the air. With each graceful step, they left trails of luminescence, their presence imbuing the sanctuary with an otherworldly radiance.

The fairies' attire was a reflection of the celestial realm itself — gowns that shimmered with iridescence, catching the ambient glow and casting hues that mirrored the vibrant tapestry of the cosmos. Their wings, delicate and yet powerful, fluttered with an ethereal elegance, allowing them to traverse the celestial space with an effortlessness that defied mortal limitations.

As the fairies interacted, their gestures and movements painted an exquisite dance, an expression of joy unburdened by the constraints of time. It was a scene where the divine and the mortal converged, and the celestial laughter of these enchanting beings resonated with the celestial harmony that surrounded them.

In this ethereal haven, the fairies embodied the timeless essence of celestial beauty, their carefree demeanor a testament to the sanctuary's nature — a realm beyond the temporal concerns of mortal existence.

As the other celestial beings, their movements akin to a mesmerizing dance, called out to her, "Vivi," their voices carried both curiosity and familiarity. Undeterred, Vivi responded with a beaming smile, a testament to her exuberant nature. She moved with an infectious enthusiasm, her every step a note in the celestial symphony.

The other fairies, with their ethereal grace, inquired about her destination, their voices harmonizing like celestial melodies. "Vivi, where are you going?" queried one of the seers, curiosity woven into the fabric of her words. In response, Vivi's eyes sparkled with determination as she declared, "I want to meet Mother Luce."

With that proclamation, Vivi's boundless energy propelled her toward the chambers of the celestial palace. Her journey through the enchanted halls was marked by the vibrant hues of her wings, which fluttered with a playful rhythm. As she approached the sacred chambers where Mother Luce resided, the celestial air seemed to resonate with the anticipation of this meeting between the lively Vivi and the revered Mother Luce.

Vivi, with her energetic spirit and a distinctive red jewel adorning her forehead, stood out among the ethereal beings in the celestial sanctuary. The elegance of her celestial companions seemed to contrast with her lively demeanor. The other celestial beings, recognizing her by the name "Vivi," called out to her as she briskly moved through the celestial courtyard.

"Vivi, where are you going?" inquired one of the seers, her voice carrying an air of celestial wisdom.

"I want to meet Mother Luce," Vivi responded with enthusiasm, her eyes gleaming with a sense of purpose. Despite the typically composed ambiance of the celestial sanctuary, Vivi's determination added a vibrant spark to the scene.

As Vivi rushed towards the chambers of the palace, her steps echoed with the lively rhythm of someone unburdened by the solemnity that often characterized celestial realms. The other celestial beings observed her departure with a mixture of amusement and fondness, appreciating the unique energy she brought to their ethereal abode.

In front of the ornate chamber door, another celestial woman awaited Vivi's approach. Her tall stature and commanding presence exuded an air of maturity, contrasting with Vivi's vibrant energy. Adorned with green hair that cascaded gracefully and a matching gem on her forehead, she carried an inherent elegance. This celestial being was none other than Lily.

As Vivi approached, Lily turned her gaze toward the lively newcomer, acknowledging her presence with a serene smile. The celestial sanctuary, already steeped in ethereal beauty, seemed to embrace the convergence of two distinct energies embodied by Vivi's exuberance and Lily's composed grace.

"Vivi, seeking an audience with Mother Luce as well?" Lily inquired, her voice a melodic blend of wisdom and tranquility.

"Vivi, seeking an audience with Mother Luce again?" Lily inquired, her voice a melodic blend of wisdom and tranquility.

"Ah, Lily!" Vivi exclaimed, her eyes twinkling with excitement. "Are you heading to meet Mother Luce too?"

Lily turned to face Vivi, her emerald-green eyes meeting Vivi's sparkling gaze. "Indeed, Vivi. It seems our paths align on this occasion. Lyon Torga's presence has brought a unique energy to our sanctuary."

Vivi's curiosity peaked, and she couldn't contain her eagerness. "Have you really met Lyon Torga?"

Lily's recount of her encounter with Lyon Torga in Second Heaven echoed through the celestial sanctuary. She spoke with eloquence, reliving the moments when Lyon, the enigmatic Zodiac Emperor, had unexpectedly crossed paths with her. As her words flowed, the other celestial beings gathered around, drawn by the intrigue of Lyon's presence and the events that unfolded. 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘦𝑤𝘦𝑏𝓃ℴ𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝑚

"His arrival was both unexpected and mesmerizing," Lily began, her voice carrying the weight of celestial memories. "I was in Second Heaven, immersed in contemplation when Lyon Torga appeared. A man of cosmic essence, his aura resonated with the very fabric of the heavens."

Vivi asked, "Then where is he now?"

"He's in Hell still, I believe," said Lily.

"Hell? How is that possible? The path is sealed right?" asked Vivi.

Lily sighed, "He hijacked my carriage."

"He what?!" Vivi exclaimed in disbelief.

The celestial sanctuary echoed with Vivi's incredulous exclamation. Lily, maintaining her composure, elaborated on the extraordinary events that had unfolded.

"He hijacked my carriage," Lily repeated, her voice carrying a mixture of amusement and astonishment.

Vivi's eyes widened, and her mouth hung agape. "Lyon Torga hijacked your carriage? That's... bold."

Lily chuckled softly, appreciating Vivi's reaction. "Indeed, bold would be an understatement. Lyon's actions are often unpredictable, transcending the boundaries of conventional expectations."

The vibrant hues of the celestial realm seemed to intensify as Vivi processed the information. "But why would he go to Hell? What purpose could he have there?"

Lily answered, "Lyon's connection with Maria Myris runs deep. He would traverse the realms, even venturing into the heart of Hell, to ensure her well-being."

Vivi's eyes sparkled with realization. "Maria Myris... Lyon's lost love. The one he has been searching for... well, speaking about love..."

Vivi remembered Cecile's words about her 'secret lover' which mentioned her Mother Luce. There was quite a mysterious relationship between the two and now, the answer she sought lies beyond this door.

Vivi hesitated for a moment, her hand poised mid-air before the intricately adorned chamber door. The ethereal atmosphere surrounding Mother Luce's sanctum was palpable, and the anticipation of seeking guidance from the venerable seer held Vivi in a momentary trance. Before she could complete the act of knocking, the voice from within the chamber disrupted the stillness.

"Well, well, girls, it seems like you have been standing there for quite some time."

The voice carried a mature resonance, a harmonious blend of ethereal wisdom, and a playful undertone that added a touch of warmth to the sacred space. Vivi exchanged a glance with Lily, their expressions reflecting a mix of surprise and curiosity. Mother Luce's chamber, usually a haven of contemplation, had now become a stage for an unexpected interaction.

Gathering her composure, Vivi lowered her hand, allowing the door to swing open slowly. The air within held the fragrance of celestial herbs and the subtle hum of cosmic energies.
