From his celestial throne, Batara Guru, the supreme deity, gazed down upon Earth, his heart heavy with a sorrow that even the vastness of the heavens could not contain. He saw the humans, once vibrant, now restless under the constant presence of the gods.
Batara Guru descended from the shimmering sky, a path of light marking his return to Earth. Sawerigading, waiting below, greeted him with profound respect, his eyes shining with awe.
"Grandfather," Sawerigading began, his voice respectful but firm, "the weather on Earth seems grim. Many feel that the gods have taken over their lives, leaving them little room for their own choices. We strive simply to endure."
La Galigo, present at the meeting, quickly interjected, attempting to downplay the gravity of the situation. "I have done my best, Grandfather," he stated, a hint of arrogance in his voice.
Batara Guru’s gaze sharpened. "Your strength should protect, not intimidate. Who now leads in Ale Luwu?" La Galigo puffed out his chest. "I have prepared no heir. I rule Ale Luwu and all neighboring realms; no one can challenge my authority."
The sky rumbled ominously, mirroring Batara Guru’s grave displeasure. "What have you done, La Galigo? This is a warning," he declared. "Your power will not last forever; everything can change. I must return to the heavens; this door will soon be sealed."
As a vibrant rainbow arched towards the heavens, Datu Patoto'e’s piercing voice echoed. "Therefore, if you choose to become human, remember the heavy burden of desires you must control. If you falter, disaster will surely follow."
As Batara Guru ascended, the celestial portal began its slow, inevitable closure. The sky-door, once a bridge between realms, was now poised to seal the heavens from the mortal world forever.
As the final gap closed, an unpleasant odor rose from Earth, a symbolic warning of the world's vulnerability to decay without divine oversight.
Other Divine Beings, who had lingered on Earth, looked at each other, a shared understanding passing between them. They accepted their fate. "Farewell, elevated life," they murmured, "and welcome, a world full of risks."
Earth now became an unbounded stage for justice and injustice, for sorrow and joy. Its future, shaped by human choices, remained profoundly uncertain, a world of self-determination.
