Chaos and Darkness walked along a corridor atop Thunder Island, conversing as they went.

"Whoosh!" A figure suddenly materialized before them.

"Teacher!"

Both Chaos City Lord and Dark True God were overjoyed, shouting respectfully. It was rare to see Primal Ancestor even once.

Dressed in white robes, Primal Ancestor looked anxious. "You two must hurry to the Initial Universe! The origin of my small universe is being devoured by a World Beast, and I am suppressed, utterly unable to bolster my origin to resist the consumption. I estimate... if it is devoured for just one hour, my origin will suffer an eighty percent loss, and I will never have a chance to reach the Void Level."

"What!" Chaos and Darkness cried out in shock.

"Yes, Teacher, we will leave immediately." Chaos and Darkness were instantly frantic.

Primal Ancestor was the one who rose to prominence when the Human Race was still weak. He was the strongest entity in the Universe Sea back then, and even when suppressed, he managed to deploy the 'Virtual Universe' to benefit humanity. He also mentored a cadre of powerhouses, including Giant Axe, Chaos, Darkness, and Ice Peak—all led by him.

Without him, there would be no Chaos, Giant Axe, or Darkness; figures like Luo Feng would naturally find their current achievements impossible.

His contribution to humanity, and thus his standing, was immeasurable.

"All forces deploy! Head immediately to the Initial Universe, immediately to the Initial Universe!" Chaos City Lord transmitted the order through the Virtual Universe.

"The Initial Universe origin, lacking Primal Ancestor's will to reinforce it, possesses extremely weak resistance and is being devoured by the World Beast! Depart swiftly, depart swiftly!"

The command spread, prompting exclamations: "The World Beast is devouring Primal Ancestor's Initial Universe?"

"Insolent World Beast, daring to do such a thing!"

"Damn it!"

The True Gods of humanity, one by one, immediately—through the universe passageways—sped towards the Initial Universe at their fastest possible velocity.

"Luo Feng." Luo Feng, who had been guarding the exterior of the Small Universe of the Rampaging Demon God, instantly pulled out his communication token.

"Teacher," Luo Feng replied.

"Return quickly, return quickly!" Chaos City Lord urgently transmitted, "A World Beast is consuming Primal Ancestor's Initial Universe! Primal Ancestor is suppressed and cannot control the reinforcement of the Initial Universe origin... the consumption rate is incredibly fast; in one hour, the Initial Universe origin will lose eighty percent!"

"What?" Luo Feng jumped in alarm.

A normal small universe, even if devoured, given that this World Beast was moving at half the speed of previous ones, could usually hold out for more than ten days.

The Initial Universe’s resistance was this weak? Eighty percent loss in one hour?

Luo Feng, however, was unaware...

The reinforcement of True God Will was profoundly important. Purple Moon had previously, by augmenting it with her will, instantly reduced the rate of origin drainage to one percent.

"I’m coming right now," Luo Feng said immediately. "For now, have the other True Gods try their best to stop that World Beast."

Swish!

Luo Feng directly retracted the Star Tower and began executing ultra-long-distance teleportation alone.

The distance a True God could teleport was different from that of a Universe Master. Thus, True Gods were faster! Why could True Gods teleport farther? Because the Heart of the True God, utilizing the origin, could better resist external interference, allowing them to sense much greater distances, naturally enabling longer-range teleportation.

For instance, the teleportation range of a Void True God was even greater than that of a standard True God.

Luo Feng’s small universe was a thousand times the volume of an average True God's small universe (its volume was comparable even to the Purple Moon Holy Land Universe)! Especially under the structure of the 'One Yuan Beginning,' its origin was incomparably powerful, granting a teleportation range equivalent to that of a Void True God level.

Flash! Flash! Flash!...

Luo Feng traversed extreme ultra-long distances via teleportation.

"If I were still a Universe Master, it would take me five days to travel back from the Rampaging Demon God."

"Now it will take a little longer."

Luo Feng was consumed by anxiety.

The Rampaging Demon God was from the Second Cycle Era; its small universe was not excessively far from the Primitive Universe, much closer than those belonging to entities like True Lord Divine Gaze. Yet, it still required over an hour. If he relied solely on Luo Feng's speed... it would simply be too late to save Primal Ancestor's small universe.

As Luo Feng rushed back at maximum speed, in the void relatively close to the Primitive Universe, Morosa was facing the small universe in the distance. The faint, serpentine light radiating from it penetrated the void, furiously devouring the origin.

"It’s fast, isn't it."

"Without will reinforcement, this devouring speed is truly exhilarating! To enjoy such a feast before death, hahahaha..." Morosa devoured with all its might.

Boom!

The surrounding space suddenly solidified.

"They’re here?" Morosa was startled, and instantly, its body exploded, splitting into ninety-nine avatars that darted away in different directions.

A vast, towering procession of figures appeared in the distance.

"Burial Beast, where do you think you can flee?" An angry roar echoed. "Fix!"

Chaos City Lord, cloaked in golden light, pointed angrily at the World Beast. Suspended above his palm was a strange token, emitting boundless azure light that instantly enveloped a range of several light-years. A powerful binding force immediately acted upon the ninety-nine avatars, causing their acceleration to slow increasingly.

"Kill it outright!" Peng Gong True God roared in fury. "Lock!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Centered on him, millions of water waves erupted, extending limitlessly to form a vast ocean. Instantly, thirty-two of the ninety-nine avatars were completely enveloped within the ocean. Those avatars thrashed desperately but could not escape the sea.

"How dare it harm Teacher!" Dark True God shrieked toward the sky... Simultaneously, the black cloak behind him suddenly expanded... turning into infinite darkness... resembling a dark universe, engulfing twenty-nine avatars.

"How dare it harm Grand-Teacher!"

"Damn it!"

"Die!"

A total of more than thirty True Gods unleashed their varied techniques. The scene became chaotic; some used mental weapon restraints, like Darkness and Peng Gong, while others engaged in direct power clashes, like the relatively weaker group led by Huo Qiong. Even the foreign True Gods of the Jialuo Alliance exerted themselves fully, showing no carelessness in the mission to save humanity's most ancient leader.

"Condense!" The fleeing World Beast caused the other ninety-eight avatars to dissipate, leaving only one avatar to revert to its true form. This single maneuver rendered the efforts of Darkness and Peng Gong useless.

"Split."

The World Beast immediately fragmented into ninety-nine parts to flee once more.

It fled desperately, its speed immense, and binding techniques could not stack. For example, if one possessed a domain-type binding treasure, only one could be used at a time; they could not be layered simultaneously. The World Beast was incredibly cunning and fast when escaping. Ultimately, it slipped away from the great army of Human True Gods.

"That was ruthless, everyone was going mad," Morosa thought with lingering fear in the void. "In just this short while, under that overwhelming clash of divine power, my strength has already diminished by a third! Fortunately, I fled at the start... If I had hesitated even slightly to engage them, I wouldn't even have a chance to escape."

"However... asking me to give up is not so easy."

"The more tense you all become, the more exhilarated I feel. Even in death, I feel ecstasy." Morosa’s eyes were filled with madness.

Swish, it teleported again toward the Initial Universe. In the void outside the Initial Universe, Chaos City Lord and the large contingent of True Gods were furious. Chaos City Lord issued a direct order: "We will temporarily garrison ourselves near the Initial Universe, as it is the most vulnerable! We will only move again if another one of our small universes is threatened with consumption."

"Agreed."

"Everything follows Chaos City Lord's command," the foreign True Gods of the Jialuo Alliance readily assented.

Chaos City Lord nodded, then his expression shifted.

Even though they were present, they still maintained divine power avatars within the Primitive Universe, allowing them to easily connect to the Virtual Universe.

"Not good! The World Beast is devouring the Initial Universe again."

"It dares to return?"

"It still dares to come?"

All parties were shocked. Simultaneously, they received the approximate coordinates transmitted by Primal Ancestor.

"Go."

Instantly, they teleported toward the location.

Keep in mind that a small universe has a diameter of one hundred million light-years, and the World Beast can typically devour from hundreds of millions of light-years away. Therefore... the World Beast could easily select any position circling the small universe. Even for Chaos City Lord and the others, teleporting across several hundred million light-years required a short amount of time.

The World Beast would only devour at one location for ten seconds before instantly teleporting to another distant location to devour for another ten seconds, then teleporting away again.

This left the group of True Gods led by Chaos City Lord in a rather disorganized state.

"Disperse immediately! We will divide into ten teams," Chaos City Lord commanded. "This particular World Beast’s strength is clearly weaker than the last one. While our ten dispersed teams cannot kill it... we can drive it away."

"Yes."

"Yes."

The teams immediately dispersed, surrounding the Initial Universe from different directions.

This arrangement meant that as soon as the World Beast was spotted, the closest team could arrive within mere seconds, forcing the World Beast to flee in disarray... However, by dividing into ten teams, none of the individual groups possessed the means to kill or severely injure the World Beast.

The mad World Beast Morosa was in a state of absolute frenzy. It absolutely refused to engage any single True God; upon contact, it would immediately flee, only to return instantly to continue devouring. In short, it had set its sights on the Initial Universe! Although it could only consume for one or two seconds at a time... it possessed unwavering persistence, desperately intent on destroying the Initial Universe.

"Teacher, where is the World Beast?" A message was transmitted.

"Luo Feng, you’ve finally arrived! It is currently at..." Chaos City Lord was overjoyed and immediately relayed the message.

Though he was one of the Eight Heroes, defeating a World Beast was manageable; killing one was exceedingly difficult.

In the void.

Luo Feng, clad in white robes, traversed the void. After confirming the coordinates, he immediately turned, a cold glint flashing in his eyes: "So that’s where it is!"

Swish!

Luo Feng took a step and instantly teleported over. His teleportation distance was far greater than that of other True Gods. Although the World Beast could also teleport farther than other True Gods, it was still a notch below Luo Feng.

"Hahahaha..." The World Beast Morosa was ecstatic, then suddenly froze. It saw a white-robed figure emerging from the void permeated by chaotic energy flows. That cold countenance, and the sight of five pairs of dazzling, luminous wings unfurled before it, caused its expression to change dramatically.

"You have finally arrived," Morosa rasped.

"Come in."

Luo Feng coldly extended a hand, and a pagoda flew from his palm—the Star Tower. The Star Tower immediately soared into the high sky, while the base of the entire tower radiated immense light. At the bottom of the tower base, an endless dark vortex appeared... The vortex enveloped the distant World Beast Morosa, making it feel utterly fragile, devoid of any ability to resist, and sucked inexorably toward the endless darkness at the tower's base.
