Solo Leveling: The Divine Triad (narrative)

Chapter 18: The Gift of Immortality

The Sung Clan, a lineage forged from the powers of the Divine Triad, had already known unmatched strength and resilience. However, with the aid of the second clones—Absolute Humanoid Being and Absolute Dragonic Being—their legacy was about to be cemented for all eternity.

The second clones, who had disguised themselves as the beloved members of the Sung Clan, had one more divine gift to offer their family. They had access to a potent elixir, known only to the most divine beings, a liquid that could bestow immortality upon its drinkers: The Water of Eternal Life.

The Water of Eternal Life was a rare and mystical substance, forged from the essence of both light and shadow, creation and destruction. It was the result of countless eons of knowledge, distilled into a single drop capable of preserving life in its purest form. Once consumed, it bestowed an eternal existence—no aging, no death, and an unbreakable life force.

The Ritual of Immortality

Under the guidance of the second clones, the Sung Clan gathered in the grand Main Hall of the Pavilion of the Divine Legacy. The room was filled with anticipation as the momentous event was about to unfold.

One by one, each member of the Sung Clan, as well as their spouses, stood in line before the second clones. These were the pivotal figures of the family—those who had carried the Sung Clan to its current greatness.

1. Sung Il-Hwan, the proud firefighter and father of Sung Jin-Woo, stood tall, his face filled with wisdom and pride.

2. Sung Jin-Woo, the Absolute Humanoid Being, a force of legend, stood with calm authority beside his beloved wife, Cha Hae-In.

3. Sung Jin-Ah, the younger sister of Sung Jin-Woo, ever the strong and loyal family member, joined her husband, Yoo Jin-Ho.

4. Sung Su-Ho, the Dragon Monarch, had already achieved greatness in his own right, his deep love for Lee Hye-Seo evident as they stood together.

5. Sung Ye-Jun and Sung Ye-Rin, the powerful heirs to the Dragon Monarch, stood proudly by their spouses, Kim Ji-Hye and Park Seung-Hyun.

As the entire family gathered, the second clones began the ritual, holding in their hands the sacred Water of Eternal Life.

With each member of the Sung Clan, both blood relatives and spouses, kneeling before the divine presence of the second clones, the ritual commenced. One by one, they drank from the crystal chalices filled with the shimmering liquid.

The moment the water touched their lips, an otherworldly sensation washed over them. A warm, radiant glow enveloped each family member, filling their hearts with energy and vitality. The effects were immediate and unmistakable. No longer would the Sung Clan age, their bodies immune to the ravages of time. The elixir had worked, binding their souls to the eternal cycle of life.

A Family Bound by Eternity

The Sung Clan had always been a powerful family, but now, they were more than that—they were immortal. They were not just rulers of the realms, but also eternal protectors of the multiverse.

The second clones, who had bestowed the Water of Eternal Life upon the Sung Clan and their spouses, stepped back, silently observing the transformation. Their work was complete. They had ensured that the Sung Clan's legacy would be preserved forever, guarding the balance of creation, destruction, and everything in between.

With their immortality secured, the Sung Clan became the undisputed rulers and protectors of the realms. No force, no being, and no dark power could ever challenge them. As they continued to grow stronger, their purpose remained unchanged: to protect the multiverse, uphold the balance of light and shadow, and ensure that peace would reign for all eternity.

A New Era Begins

Now, as immortal beings, the Sung Clan could look forward to centuries, millennia, and beyond without fear of death. They had seen the rise and fall of countless realms, but this new gift of eternal life ensured that their influence would continue to shape the multiverse for as long as the stars themselves.

And so, with the Water of Eternal Life flowing through their veins, the Sung Clan began a new chapter in their legendary tale. They would be the eternal guardians, ever watchful, ever powerful, and forever united in their quest to safeguard the balance of the universe.

This was the dawn of a new era, where the Sung Clan and their divine legacy would transcend time itself.
