With the ending of Ragnarok, new life would begin on earth. The earth would be green and fertile, flourishing vigorously. A new sun emerged, driven by the daughter of Sol, who Sol birthed before being consumed by the wolf at the beginning of Ragnarok.

Those of the Aesir and the Vanir that survived Ragnarok met where Asgard used to be, on the plain of Ida. Of the gods that survive, there would be Vidar and Vali, sons of Odin. The sons of Thor also would be there, and would inherit their father's great hammer, Mjollnir. Balder, and his brother Hod, would return from the underworld to join the company while Hoenir would predict the future of this new world.

Odin's brothers, Vili and Ve, would be sent to the heavens to rule with the rest of the gods who fell during Ragnarok. There, they would meet and reminisce about Ragnarok.

A man and a woman took shelter under the great branches of Yggdrasil during Ragnarok, and managed to survive the calamity. They would be called Lif and Lifthrasir, and would be nourished by the fertile dew dropping from the tree, and gave birth to many children to repopulate the earth.

So it was as such the last chapter of time drew to a close, with a new beginning, where good and evil would still coexist, and where the gods once more resumed the roles they had played since the dawn of time. This is how it all ended, for it was how it all began.
