The people of the heavenly palace had just gone through a series of unfortunate events. A rollercoaster ride that dropped them from the peaks.
They were experiencing fresh and new emotions that they had never felt before.
The hibernation in the past two eras had never once struck a single strand of doubt in their hearts. They were still full of ambition and confidence.
They had thought of it as a depart from the mess and chaos of the world.
They were proud of the fact that they stayed away from the ugliness of the rest of the world that could have tainted the integrity of their clan.
It was a haughty attitude. They were more superior than everyone else and they refused to expose themselves to the rest frivolously.
There were no questions of their power and might. The reclusion had been their choice, they weren't forced into it.
A reclusion to be broken only at the ripe opportunity to reclaim the entire universe. For everyone else to bow at their feet.
A grand vision!
