星神總覽 對這些漫步深空星海之中的神秘存在,人們知之甚少。受限於有窮的認知,智慧生命只能依稀覺察星神們踏足於凡物無從窺見的命途,並憑藉某種理念行使其不可估量的偉力。最終,在口耳相傳的神話里,星神們成了高度凝聚的哲學概念之化身。
若有人能踏上星神所執掌的命途,便將稟受其遙遠的感應,猶如穿越銀河光年投來的瞥視。許多人認為:這已是星神與凡人能產生的唯一交集。
Aeons Overview
People know very little about the mysterious existence that dwells in the vast stellar seas. With the limitation of knowledge, intelligent lifeforms can only faintly discern that Aeons tread upon paths imperceptible to mortal beings and execute unfathomable powers via some form of belief. In the end, the Aeons became an embodiment of highly condensed concepts of philosophy through the word of mouth spread of their legends.
If anyone finds themselves treading on the Path of an Aeon, they will be inundated by a distant sensation, like being struck by a gaze from light-years across the cosmos. Many believe that this is the only connection the Aeons and mortals can ever have.
