The Divine Realm had reached its limit.

Not a limit of weakness—

but a limit of structure.

I stood at the edge of my perception and looked outward, beyond domains and divine regions, beyond the layered heavens that now felt as familiar as my own breath.

The Divine Realm had stabilized at the peak of the Fifth Dimension.

No matter how much divine energy circulated, no matter how many laws condensed, the framework no longer expanded naturally. Like a perfected vessel, it could hold more power—but it could not become more without transformation.

At present, the Divine Realm controlled ten galaxies.

Ten vast star systems bound under divine law, their worlds connected through authority, faith, and dimensional anchors. Countless civilizations thrived within that span, feeding back energy and belief into the heavens.

It was an extraordinary achievement.

And also a warning.

That was why I met the Dragon God again.

At the heart of the Divine Core, his presence felt heavier than before—not stronger, but more compressed, as if he were bracing against something unseen.

"The Divine Realm has reached its ceiling," the Dragon God said. "If we do not act, stagnation will follow."

I nodded slowly. "Which is why we should wait."

His golden eyes narrowed slightly.

"Wait for what?"

"For numbers," I replied calmly. "For stability. When the Divine Realm has twenty to twenty-five God Kings, upgrading it to the Sixth Dimension will be far safer."

I turned my gaze toward the vast lattice of law surrounding us.

"More God Kings means more anchors. More anchors mean less backlash when the realm transforms."

The Dragon God was silent for a moment.

Then he shook his head.

"No."

I looked at him.

"I have waited long enough," he continued, his voice deeper than usual. "My era is ending. I will follow my wife's path."

The words landed heavily.

"I intend to pass my divine throne," the Dragon God said, "to the Dragon Prince."

I understood then.

This was not just about the Divine Realm.

It was about legacy.

"If the realm remains as it is," the Dragon God continued, "then power will continue to diffuse. More God Kings will rise—from humans, from plants, from beasts."

His gaze sharpened.

"Eventually, dragons will no longer stand at the center."

I did not interrupt.

"I will seek a solution," he concluded. "When I find one, I will summon you again."

The discussion ended there.

I returned to my domain in silence.

But my thoughts were anything but still.

The Dragon God had not said it outright—but I understood him clearly.

He was afraid.

Not of me.

Not of humanity alone.

But of history.

The Dragon Race had ruled the Divine Realm from the beginning. They had shaped its laws, enforced its hierarchy, and suppressed rival races without mercy.

Mass extinctions.

Forced submission.

Erased civilizations.

At the time, it had seemed natural—inevitable, even.

But resentment did not vanish.

It accumulated.

And now, with more God Kings rising from races other than dragons, the balance was shifting.

If the Divine Realm continued to grow organically, then sooner or later—

Dragons would be outnumbered.

That was the true fear.

I could see the Dragon God's reasoning clearly.

If the Divine Realm were upgraded into a Divine Planet—a Sixth Dimensional structure—then its laws would solidify.

Once solidified, the cost of ascension would skyrocket.

New God Kings would become rare.

Extremely rare.

In that scenario, dragons—who already occupied many of the highest positions—would effectively lock in their dominance.

It was a defensive move.

A final consolidation of power.

I exhaled slowly.

"Cause and effect," I murmured.

What dragons feared was not rebellion.

It was retribution.

I activated my Wisdom authority.

Not to calculate power.

But to look upward.

Toward the Supreme Principles.

Karma.

Destiny.

The moment my perception brushed against them, resistance surged—but it was no longer enough to block me entirely.

Fragments revealed themselves.

And what I saw made everything clear.

For countless eras, the universe's favor had rested upon dragons.

They were the proud race.

The first rulers.

The chosen axis of divine order.

But that favor was shifting.

Slowly.

Inexorably.

Humanity now occupied that position.

The universe responded more readily to human will.

Laws bent more easily around human concepts.

Ascension pathways opened more frequently for humans than for any other race.

Favor was not loyalty.

It was alignment.

And dragons were drifting out of alignment.

As for karma—

I did not need to look far.

The weight accumulated over epochs was enormous.

When karma struck, it would not target individuals.

It would strike the race.

As a whole.

I understood then.

In the original timeline—the one recorded in legend—the Dragon God's failure to upgrade the Divine Realm to a Divine Planet was likely not coincidence.

It was inevitability.

A correction.

Given all variables…

There was over a seventy percent chance the outcome would remain the same.

Supreme principles could not be defied through strength alone.

I opened my eyes.

The Divine Realm shimmered peacefully around me, unaware of the currents beneath its calm surface.

The Dragon God would try.

He would struggle against destiny itself.

And when that struggle reached its breaking point—

The backlash would be catastrophic.

I could not stop it outright.

But I could prepare.

Slowly, methodically, I began to move resources.

Faith streams were redirected into contingency structures.

Wisdom was layered into defensive frameworks.

Human God Kings were subtly guided toward cooperation rather than competition.

I did not announce anything.

I did not alarm anyone.

Preparation was not panic.

It was responsibility.

"If the heavens collapse," I said softly to myself,

"humanity will not be buried beneath them."

Above me, destiny continued to turn.

And somewhere, far deeper than even the Divine Core—

Karma waited patiently.
