After the decision to become the Architects of Eternity, a new world unfolded before the Creators. The Eternal Garden was no longer just a place where the branches of time met—it was now a canvas upon which they had to paint the future.
But before they could begin shaping it, they had to understand: what exactly were they building?
Echoes of Unfinished Time
Emiren stood in the center of the Garden, gazing at the chaotic flows of time that intersected at nodes, forming new realities. Some of them were fragile, like glass, ready to shatter at the slightest touch. Others seemed too rigid, devoid of the flexibility to change.
— Time is not just a river that flows. It is a form we can refine.
His thoughts resonated in the space around him, and spectral outlines of possible worlds appeared.
The World of Perfect Harmony — a reality where every choice led to the most logical and balanced outcome.
The World of Absolute Will — where anyone could change their fate instantly, without restrictions or consequences.
The World of Frozen Time — where nothing changed, preventing chaos and destruction.
But all these worlds had one flaw: they were dead.
— Perfection does not mean life… — he whispered.
Then he realized: the architecture of time should not be absolute. It must allow for growth.
The First Framework of Eternity
Flamen did not believe in long deliberations. He stepped forward and touched one of the time nodes, giving it shape. The node began to glow, shifting and expanding its boundaries.
— If we are shaping time, we must know its limits. What can be changed, and what cannot.
He created the first fundamental foundation: Time Islands.
In this new reality, there were places where time was flexible, changeable, like fire. Here, events could be rewritten, decisions altered, new paths built.
But between these islands were other zones—Time Pillars, immutable and stable points that preserved history. They served as anchor points, preventing the temporal flow from dissolving into an endless chaos of possibilities.
— If everything changes, then nothing has meaning. If nothing changes, then there is no movement. The balance between these two is the key to Eternity.
The Intersection of Creation and Destruction
Watery observed the emerging framework, feeling its currents. He saw that parts of the new reality were too tense—where Flamen had placed the Pillars, time began to stagnate.
— Everything flows, everything changes. But some changes must come naturally, not forcibly…
He touched one of the Time Islands, and it began to move. The island did not disappear or collapse, but it found a new place within the structure.
— The form of time must be flexible, but not chaotic.
Thus was born the Concept of Plastic Reality.
Now, the islands were not fixed in space. They could shift, adapt to changes, yet always remain within the overall architecture of time.
— We are not just creating a world—we are creating a way for time to exist.
The Final Element: The Invisible Architects
Voidborn silently watched as his brothers built the structure of the new world. But he saw what they did not: the voids between the forms.
— Any architecture is not just walls. It is also the space between them. What remains unfilled is what gives things meaning.
Then he took the final step: he introduced into reality the Invisible Architects—observers who did not interfere with the flow of time but could influence its development through subtle details.
These forces did not create new realities, but their presence allowed the time flow to spontaneously find the most harmonious paths of development.
— Even if we step away, time will not collapse. It will learn to exist on its own.
A New Dawn of Eternity
The Creators completed their work. Before them unfolded a new world, where time now had structure, motion, and independence.
— Time is no longer just a garden. It has become a living city, evolving by its own rules.
They had taken the first step toward creating true Eternity.
But now, a new question arose before them: did they need to remain here to govern this world?
The answer awaited ahead.
