500th Time Reborn, A World Only Known By Women: The Karma System

Chapter 654 The Nine Layers Rebuilt Pt2



Chapter 654 The Nine Layers Rebuilt Pt2

"The Fourth Layer... the Dueling Layer, and the one that my favorite Demon Bee ruled," I chuckled, thinking about Bellazibub. She had been the only one really willing to help me, even if we did have a past, and she did cruel things, I was almost sure that was just because Kadeon made them to be twisted and cruel like that. Given the proper chance, I knew Bellazibub would make a great ruler for this strange realm I was creating.

For this layer, since it was already all the arenas, I didn't want to change it too much. I was sure many women like me loved battle. I found that being in battle with strong and overwhelming foes like the Riftwalker I had fought in the past was its own sort of heaven.

There were other foes in other lives as well, but the last thing that I wanted was for people to get hurt or die in paradise. It also might be hard to keep crazy monsters like that in check. With that in mind, I changed the Dueling Layer into vast arenas for competitive combat and sports, without fatal consequences. Alongside these, I also created vast landscapes for training and tactical simulation activities. Participants could compete or spar in these arenas without fear of permanent injury or death, resurfacing the sweet adrenaline rush of the battle, in a much safer environment.

"The Fifth layer... Market Layer," I mused. This was one that I had already changed after destroying it, but I wanted to give the place a more interesting look. Currently, everything was all on one flat plane, and the place now looked more like an endless city rather than a market. I wanted to make the place unique like the mall on my astral island, but completely different.

"Since shopping is something women find joy in, I should really roll up my sleeves on this one. It was time to go all out!

First, I added various dimensions: one for vegetation, one for sculpture, one for music & arts, and another for everything technology-related. The list was endless. I also created smaller, interconnected pocket realms for specialized items.

"I think a magical emporium would be a hit here. And a realm dedicated to clothes - vibrant boutiques and vast stores that can cater to every creature's sartorial taste," I mused aloud, shaping each aspect by will.

The sixth layer, the City of Sin, was a hub of pleasure and hedonism. "I won't change much in this layer, apart from updating the establishments and ensuring safety measures." No harm in indulging in a bit of fun as long as it was consensual and no one got hurt.

The seventh layer, the Layer of Wrath became the Layer of Passion under my influence. It emphasized the constructive side of passion, be it glory, love, ambitions, hobby, or art needed to be encouraged, not wrath. It looked like a flamboyant carnival of various passions with shining pavilions for every need.

"And the last two layers... hmm," I thought, looking at the model. The Eternity layer became the Layer of Creation, filled with mesmerizing natural wonders and delightful landscapes. Creating something was a divine satisfaction, and I wished to share this pleasure with everyone.

Lastly, The Layer of Torment was changed to Godlywood Valley. Since I made a promise, I turned the final layer into a layer specifically created for the production of not only soap operas, but also movies as well. I was sure that it would become a popular place that many women would want to come to once I got this realm and that of the Mortal Goddess connected.

The nine rings of paradise were now complete, each ring much more than just a habitable realm. They were a testament to my dreams and promises, a haven that nurtured the best of mortal and divine spirits.

With the creation of Godlywood Valley, it seemed my job as a deity was almost done. All that was left was to return everyone, but they were still all demons. While it might be fun to tailor each woman to something I would like, I decided that I should just let everyone decide for themselves.

With a wave of my hand, everyone from the nine layers of the underworld from beautiful demons to the hideous ones returned, but only as orbs of light. As they did, I connected with all of their minds at once.

"For too long have you all been trapped in these forms, only knowing hatred and despair. But from this moment forward, that ends. I've remade these layers into the Nine Rings of Paradise - a place for everyone, regardless of who they were in their past lives," I spoke, the orbs of light flickering in acknowledgment.

"You're free to let go of the past patterns of the Underworld. Choose your own shapes, and your own destinies, and live a life catered to your own liking. As for the demons still healing, you'll be guided to a sanctuary where you can recover at your own pace," I added.

There was a silence before excitement flooded my senses, the light orbs starting to shape into various forms, from magnificent divinities to simple, mortal forms. Some chose their original demon forms, deciding to hold on to a part of their past.

"Your past does not define you. Celebrate your new life here, in the Nine Rings of Paradise. Share stories, Build families, Explore, Learn, and above all, strive to live in harmony," I concluded, the orbs descending to find their own havens within the Nine Rings.

With a sigh of relief, I sat down, looking at the vibrant world I helped create. A part of me felt at peace, knowing I had made a difference, and made a new beginning possible for so many individuals. Quite a day's work for a deity, I thought, a small smile making its way onto my lips. Despite the tiredness seeping into my bones, my heart was alive with joy and accomplishment. For the first time in a long time, I felt hopeful for the future.

[Author's words: So ends the 3rd arc of 500th Time Reborn! Things got pretty crazy near the end, but I wanted to highlight Galio's back story. I hope that everyone keeps reading along for the next arc: The Goddess Games and High Sea!]
