The so-called Beast Alliance was, in truth, the Starry Sky Beast lineage born from Bai Yue's Original Universe.
Created by his own hand and nurtured within a realm devoid of external inheritance, these colossal lifeforms had long since lost most of their bloodline legacies. Yet their sheer size, coupled with terrifying innate secret techniques, still granted them an overwhelming advantage. Relying on instinct alone, they rose naturally to become the strongest race of the Founding God Realm.
This time, it was the Beast Alliance that took the lead.
With hundreds of affiliated races rallying beneath them, confidence swelled. To them, Founding God Mountain was nothing more than a mysterious symbol—an unreachable myth that had never been tested. Strength bred ambition, and ambition inevitably sought proof.
Thus began the so-called "Heaven-Slaying War."
As a peak race, the Beast Alliance did not act rashly. Though their civilization had developed for only a few thousand years, the wisdom engraved within their genes ensured that this was no mindless charge.
For months, they gathered power.
Existences equivalent to Universe Rank formed the backbone of the army. Clan elders at Domain Lord level coordinated strategy, while First Ancestors—beings comparable to World Lords—oversaw command. Once preparations were complete, they used Space Law jumps to arrive at the foot of Founding God Mountain.
Only then did the true march begin.
An army of over one hundred million, spanning hundreds of races, ascended the mountain in disciplined formations. The weakest among them were Universe Rank, yet their combined presence shook the heavens.
Shortly after they entered the mountain, Bai Yue broke through to Universe Lord.
Time and Space within the Original Universe completed their perfection.
The firmness of Space Law surged violently.
Those at Domain Lord and World Lord levels sensed the change instantly—but misunderstood it completely. To them, such pressure was only natural.
This is Founding God Mountain, they thought.
How could the dwelling of the Genesis God be ordinary?
Rather than retreat, they accelerated.
Outside the mountain, observers from other races noticed the shift—but it was already too late. Panic spread, yet no warning could reach the advancing army in time.
Founding God Mountain towered nearly one trillion kilometers high, its vastness eclipsing even legendary forbidden lands of the Universe Sea. Even without obstacles, reaching the summit required time.
But Bai Yue had no intention of waiting.
Nor would he play the role of a passive heavenly ruler, allowing rebellion to rage beneath his throne.
The moment he decided to act, the fate of the invading army—and indeed of all beings within the Founding God Realm—was sealed.
With a single thought—
A supreme, distant, and utterly majestic aura descended.
Instantly, every living being froze.
Not only the hundred-race allied army, but all life within the Founding God Realm was restrained, lifted from their positions, and relocated into the vast void before the divine mountain.
No exception.
If one rebellion was allowed, a second would follow. Intelligent life was forgetful—and temptation eternal.
The void fell silent.
Countless beings stared in terror at the palace complex hovering before them, magnificent beyond comprehension. Then, from within the palace, eight towering figures emerged.
They floated above the mountain, each radiating a distinct and terrifying Law origin aura.
Some were vast and domineering.
Some sharp enough to pierce the heavens.
Some ethereal, elusive, beyond grasp.
Different laws manifested in the void—lightning, wind, metal, shadow—obscuring their true forms. Only blurred silhouettes could be seen.
Then—
One figure stepped forward.
Lightning erupted.
A cold snort echoed across Heaven and Earth.
The pressure intensified abruptly, forcing the invading army to crash to the ground. Even those uninvolved felt their hearts seize, fearing divine wrath.
The figure descended slowly, lightning parting to reveal its form.
Its body was covered in emerald fur, each strand crackling like a Thunder God's whip. Three hooves pressed down upon Space itself. Vast wings stirred endless lightning, and within its raised head burned a pair of colossal eyes—
Eyes like oceans of thunder.
Eyes of Thunder.
Merely gazing upon it made all beings feel as though they were staring at a fragment of the universe's origin.
"I am the Beast God of Thunder, one of the Eight Great Beast Gods."
The voice boomed like divine judgment.
"People of the Beast Alliance—and the hundred allied races."
An unseen force bound the invading army, lifting them into the sky. The surrounding races watched in stunned silence as the so-called conquering force was raised for judgment.
"You gathered armies and sought to assault the divine mountain. Though no damage was done, your sin is unforgivable."
The thunderous eyes blazed.
"I decree exile. You are banished to the desolate edges of the Starry Sky Universe. Execute immediately."
In an instant, the entire army vanished.
They were scattered across the universe's frontier, separated by unimaginable distances. With the strengthened Space Law and no Dark Universe to traverse, reunion was all but impossible.
At the universe's edge, matter was scarce. Energy was thin. Survival would depend solely on their own strength.
The Thunder God then turned his gaze upon the remaining beings.
"As for the rest of you—though you did not participate, your endless conflict has polluted the Founding God Realm."
"It is no longer suitable for your existence."
"You shall be dispersed across the Starry Sky Universe, grouped by race. Live—or perish—by your own choices."
With a wave of his hand, all remaining beings vanished, scattered among distant star fields.
Silence returned.
The Founding God Realm was finally at peace.
The Eight Great Beast Gods faded into the void, appearing at the universe's center. There, they established the Beast God Palace, governing through inheritance rather than force.
Without drawing upon the Original Universe's power, they forged Beast God, God General, and God Envoy inheritance tokens, spreading them throughout the Starry Sky Universe.
To beings incapable of interstellar travel, these tokens functioned like consciousness gateways—granting access to a realm akin to a Virtual Universe, where inheritance could be received.
From the mountain's summit, Bai Yue watched calmly.
Yet even Beast Gods found traversal slow without deeper mechanisms.
Thus, he created it.
A Dark Universe, overlapping the entire Starry Sky Universe—unnoticed, inaccessible without special conditions.
Within it, one kilometer of travel equaled 129,600 kilometers in real space.
Not vanity—necessity.
The universe was still expanding.
Gazing into the origin space, Bai Yue observed the vast sphere of world power, the layered oceans of origin laws, and the unstable fusion laws at its core.
Progress was undeniable.
But the path ahead would only grow steeper.
From now on, guidance would be scarce.
Only comprehension remained.
