Emergence

Luo Feng's true body was on its way back, while within Luo Feng's miniature universe.

"Master," Moluosa said respectfully, "Many Beast Gods have escaped into the Lost Sea Region of the Universe Ocean. Out of the second batch of 450,000 Beast Gods, 420,000 have fled into the Lost Sea Region. Adding those from the first batch that Master pursued, the number Master killed and enslaved is far less than half of the first batch. Just the Beast Gods that escaped into the Lost Sea Region, if they were to fight amongst themselves, could even give birth to two Sixth-tier Beast Gods!"

Luo Feng nodded.

Approximately 900,000 Beast Gods could give birth to three Sixth-tier Beast Gods. The ones he had killed and enslaved were only a small portion; the remaining could fully give birth to two Beast Gods.

"However, according to our Beast Gods' Laws of Fate, two Sixth-tier Beast Gods must fight each other, and only one can survive," Moluosa stated.

The Laws of Fate.

These were the shackles placed upon the entire Beast God race during the process of birthing their final king, designed to facilitate the king's emergence. There were four such Laws.

First Law: No two Sixth-tier Beast Gods may coexist. They must fight each other, and their clones must also fight, with only one surviving.

Second Law: Within the maximum gestation period, the final king must be born. By the final deadline, they are even forced to fight and devour each other until only one remains alive.

Third Law: If only two Beast Gods remain alive, regardless of their strength, they must fight each other, and only one can survive.

Fourth Law: The last surviving Beast God, whether First-tier or Sixth-tier, will become the final king.

"Hmm."

Luo Feng frowned. The sheer number of Beast Gods was overwhelming. Hundreds of thousands of Beast Gods were exploring different areas of the Lost Sea Region, identifying numerous reference points. Combining the areas explored by these hundreds of thousands of Beast Gods, the Beast God side had already obtained a sea chart for a portion of the Lost Sea Region! This allowed the Beast Gods to easily escape repeatedly through 'natural wormholes'.

Luo Feng, however, couldn't pursue them because he lacked a sea chart!

Once the sea chart was confirmed.

It made it impossible for Luo Feng to pursue, forcing him to retreat.

"There are still 30,000 Beast Gods remaining," Moluosa respectfully reported. "They didn't go to the Lost Sea Region. Each of them is completely scattered across the Three Great Perilous Lands. The environment within these lands is harsh, making it very difficult to hunt them down one by one."

Luo Feng understood.

The 30,000 remaining Beast Gods were 'lighthouses'.

Although the Beast Gods who escaped to the Lost Sea Region had mapped out some areas, they had fled too far to return on their own.

"When a Sixth-tier Beast God is born in the future," Moluosa continued, "by sensing the locations of the remaining Beast Gods, it can return to our Universe Ocean. They might be worried that Master would kill all the remaining Beast Gods, and also kill us, the Beast Gods who have pledged allegiance to Master, leaving them permanently lost and unable to return. That's why so many Beast Gods, 30,000 of them, were left behind! Master simply cannot kill them all in a short time."

...

It was brutal.

But Luo Feng had to give his all. When his true body returned, his first destination would be the Tilted Peak Sector!

The Tilted Peak Sector was incredibly vast, divided into many special regions. Now, those Beast Gods were burrowing into any special area they could find! Some even fled directly into 'perilous lands,' places from which it was difficult to emerge once entered.

"Capture."

"Seize."

"Grab."

These 30,000 Beast Gods left behind as 'lighthouses' were all Second-tier Beast Gods, not particularly strong. In front of Luo Feng, they couldn't even self-destruct. One by one, they were forcibly taken into the Star Tower, then given to Mengqu and the others to devour. Luo Feng wouldn't enslave them again... because soul enslavement also had a numerical limit.

"Damn it!"

Within the Star Tower, Luo Feng, clad in silver armor and silver wings, gazed into the distance. In the depths of endless darkness lay a colossal abyss—the infamous Dark Abyss Domain, a core region of the Tilted Peak Sector. "They actually fled into the 'Dark Abyss Domain'! Once inside, there's no way out. A full 102 Beast Gods are hiding in there."

Did Luo Feng dare to enter?

No!

He had just sent a divine power clone, piloting a mechanical-stream battleship, to attempt entry. Once inside, it couldn't get out!

"These Beast Gods clearly have no intention of ever coming out," Luo Feng shook his head.

Within the Three Great Perilous Lands, there were many similar dangerous places, many from which escape was impossible once trapped. Many Beast Gods were burrowing into these very places! With Luo Feng's methods, he could break out of some dangerous places, but others were insurmountable.

Luo Feng dared not test them himself, only allowing his divine power clone to do so.

The previous two times, his divine power clone, piloting a mechanical-stream battleship, had managed to break out. But this time, after entering the 'Dark Abyss Domain,' it couldn't escape.

"It's impossible to completely wipe out all 30,000 Beast Gods," Luo Feng sighed, then piloted the Star Tower away from the area.

...

In the distant Lost Sea Region, the Universe Ocean was simply too vast. The hundreds of thousands of Beast Gods had only explored a small portion of it, and now all these hundreds of thousands of Beast Gods were gathered in this one sea region.

Though called a small portion, it was still dozens of times vaster than the sea regions controlled by Luo Feng and the three great reincarnation eras.

"Kill!"

"Only one of us can survive!"

Two ferocious Beast Gods fought madly, blood splattering, utterly insane.

Such battles were taking place in various void spaces. Hundreds of thousands of Beast Gods were fighting and evolving, seizing every moment to evolve.

Time flowed by.

In the blink of an eye, nearly a year had passed. In this Lost Sea Region, only two Beast Gods remained alive, and both were, astonishingly, Sixth-tier Beast Gods.

Boom~~~ Boom~~~~

Powerful pressure made the void tremble. Both Beast Gods stood in the void, confronting each other from a distance. One of them even clutched an axe.

Their bodies were covered in even more intricate blood-red patterns, and a single horn had grown on each of their foreheads. The tip of each horn shimmered with a point of white light, a light that seemed to annihilate everything.

Their auras also differed slightly.

One was colder.

The other was more ferocious.

"Mohe, we have both reached the Sixth-tier. Only one of us is destined to survive."

"You, you are doomed. Let me go kill the Galaxy Lord and become the final king."

The two Sixth-tier Beast Gods engaged in a life-and-death battle in the distant Lost Sea Region.

...

You, dead!

Mohe became the last surviving Sixth-tier Beast God. After devouring You, its power rapidly ascended to the peak of the Sixth-tier, and it immediately set out on its return journey.

"Galaxy Lord!"

"My noble Beast God race will be the ultimate victor." Mohe, wielding a divine axe, advanced through the void.

By sensing the locations of its comrades, it wouldn't get lost.

The thousands of Beast Gods scattered across the Three Great Perilous Lands, not yet captured or killed by Luo Feng, were all incredibly excited. Finally, a Sixth-tier Beast God had arrived.

About a month later, Mohe finally re-entered this familiar sea region.

"I am here." Standing in the vast void, Mohe's two horns on its two heads curved, piercing the void above, faintly glowing with white light. Its two single eyes gleamed with madness.

"Mohe, everything is in your hands."

Boom!

A Second-tier Beast God hiding in Liu Zhong Mountain self-destructed with a roar.

"Mohe, I believe in you." Another Beast God hiding in the Universe Boat self-destructed with a roar.

"Our Beast God race's final glory shall be protected by you!"

"Kill that Galaxy Lord!"

"Our Beast God race is the most noble!"

One Beast God after another self-destructed. These were Beast Gods that Luo Feng hadn't had time to hunt down, or those hiding in perilous lands that he couldn't hunt. They all self-destructed in succession, utterly annihilated.

Only one truly free, unenslaved Beast God remained—Mohe!

"I, Mohe! I will definitely protect the final glory of my noble Beast God race and absolutely will not allow that Galaxy Lord to defile it!"

Roar~~~ Mohe roared, lifting its two heads.

At this moment, an invisible fate enveloped it; it was already the last of the free Beast Gods.

...

While Luo Feng was still shocked by the successive self-destruction and disappearance of the Beast Gods, Moluosa's expression suddenly changed drastically.

"Master!"

"Master!"

"Master!"

Moluosa, along with Mengqu and the other enslaved Beast Gods who were with him in the Three Great Perilous Lands, simultaneously transmitted messages to him, trembling with shock.

"What's wrong?" Luo Feng felt a bad premonition. Why were all nine enslaved Beast Gods reporting to him at once?

"Master!" Moluosa exclaimed, "Just as those scattered Beast Gods self-destructed, we felt fate."

"Fate?" Luo Feng was startled.

The Beast God race was influenced by fate, governed by four Laws.

"Only the last survivor of the free Beast Gods remains," Moluosa quickly said. "Fate is telling us that we, the subjugated Beast Gods, must also fight each other to determine the last living Beast God. Then, we must battle the free Beast God... to give birth to the final king. This is the Fifth Law, a Law that has just descended."

"What, the Fifth Law?" Luo Feng's expression changed drastically.

The free Beast God side?

The enslaved Beast God side?

They actually had to duel!

Luo Feng also recalled the warning from the supreme rules he received the moment he enslaved Moluosa. Clearly, enslaving a Beast God, a life form representing supreme destruction, was inherently difficult. Now that only one free Beast God remained alive, the Fifth Law had descended, specifically to facilitate the birth of the final king! It was clearly not giving Luo Feng any time to prepare.

"I have several Beast God slaves under me. By observing them unleash 'destruction' and carefully comprehending it, my realm has continuously improved. If only I had more time... my strength would grow even greater. My chances in this catastrophe would also increase. But now, the supreme rules are no longer giving me time," Luo Feng said with a solemn expression.

The opponent had reached the peak of the Sixth-tier and could no longer improve.

He, however, could gradually improve with cultivation.

But with the descent of the Fifth Law of Fate... the final king must be born.

"The final battle, then?" Luo Feng's eyes flickered with complex emotions.

"Then let it come."

Luo Feng piloted the Star Tower, beginning his return to the Primal Universe. His enslaved Beast Gods, even if they devoured each other, likely wouldn't produce a Sixth-tier Beast God. Therefore, in the final confrontation between the free Beast God and the enslaved Beast Gods... he would naturally intervene! If his side won, it would be wonderful.

But if the Beast God named 'Mohe' became the final king, it would be a true disaster, and everything he protected would be annihilated.

Before this battle.

At this moment, Luo Feng yearned immensely to see his family.
