-------------------------------------------------------------

Ten thousand years had passed since that cataclysmic battle that once threatened to destroy heaven and earth. 

The name Bai Xu had been branded a taboo across the cosmos. None dared to utter his true name, fearing divine retribution—struck down by heavenly lightning, dying with everlasting regret. 

Over these ten millennia, Douluo Continent had successfully ascended. Notably, despite the Federation's expansion into the cosmos, their home remained a single planet—Douluo Star. 

The surface area of Douluo Star had expanded countless times over. With the Dragon God, Di Tian, presiding over the world, Douluo had mastered the technology of dimensional fusion. After devouring the Abyss and Demon Plane in the past, the Federation ventured into the universe, discovering several habitable planets—all devoid of life. 

Thus, they were all assimilated into Douluo Star. 

The absorption of so many worlds brought immense benefits to its inhabitants—extended lifespans, the birth of miraculous spiritual treasures, and unparalleled strength. 

Yet, they remained bound by the laws of the universe. Even if one reached the realm of gods, without a divine throne, they would eventually perish. 

Douluo Star… had no divine realm. 

The Dragon God, Di Tian, had no intention of creating one. For beings with already vast lifespans, the longevity granted by a divine realm was trivial. 

Moreover, Douluo Star's life-extension technology had matured. Some naturally formed sacred grounds even possessed secret realms where one could preserve their flesh and stall decay. Those unwilling to accept death could slumber within, awaiting future breakthroughs in immortality. 

Aside from spirit beasts evolving into divine beasts, humans had also achieved godhood. The most prominent example was Yun Ming, the man who, thousands of years ago, forged his own divine throne and ascended. Since then, no one else had reached such heights. 

Creating a divine throne—this was now the ultimate goal of all soul masters. In this grand era, prodigies were as numerous as the stars, yet Yun Ming remained the only one to accomplish this feat.

Star Dou Great Forest – Core Region.

The Lake of Life was now known as the Realm of Immortals, home to the Beast Kings. 

Spirit beasts were no longer on the brink of extinction. With the revival of the dragon clan and the planet's evolution, they too had advanced. Blessed by the auspicious beasts' fortune, their reproduction rates had skyrocketed, and many had awakened intelligence, rivaling that of humans. 

The conflict between humans and spirit beasts persisted. The systems of soul rings, soul bones, and soul spirits still existed, but with the planet's vast resources, these struggles were insignificant. 

Douluo Star's landmass had expanded, its resources flourished, and its oceans had grown. The Star Dou Great Forest was now dozens of times larger, teeming with spirit beasts. Once-rare species were no longer endangered. 

Some even foolishly attacked human territories—only to be swiftly eradicated. 

Yet, in this era of prosperity, the Dragon God, Di Tian, frowned deeply. He summoned the ancient spirit beasts—Bi Ji, Xiong Jun, Wan Yao Wang, Zi Ji, and others. 

These elders were the absolute authority among the new generation of spirit beasts. Even if some younger dragons had risen in power, none could match their status. 

"The Federation has made contact with another world," Di Tian said solemnly. "And that world's nation is also called the Douluo Federation." 

"The words of that man ten thousand years ago are coming to pass." 

Bi Ji blinked in confusion. "Does that mean… in that other Douluo Federation, versions of us exist?" 

"Yes." 

"Have you met them?" Zi Ji—now Di Tian's wife—asked. 

"No. But I've heard some rumors." 

Di Tian sighed. "In that world… he never appeared. Ten thousand years ago, it was the Dragon Emperor Douluo, Tang Wulin, and the Silver Dragon Douluo, Gu Yuena, who sacrificed themselves at the Far North, ending the war between humans and spirit beasts and bringing about the current Federation." 

Xiong Jun's eyes widened, his expression darkening instantly. "The former master… Di Tian—no, Dragon God, this matter must be suppressed! That man may have left, but he isn't dead! If he hears that the former master and another man died together… the same destruction from back then will repeat!" 

Ever since witnessing Bai Xu shattering the cosmos, Xiong Jun had been both awed and terrified of him. 

"Use your brain, Xiong Jun," Bi Ji chided. "The former master left with him. The fact that we've drifted into this world suggests it's a parallel universe—one so similar to ours that such an outcome should be impossible. Yet, the will of that universe has allowed it… and has ignored us entirely." 

"Is it because of him?" 

"Yes." Di Tian pointed to the sky. "This universe was shattered by him and assimilated by another. It witnessed fragments of that battle… and now fears provoking his wrath." 

His expression grew strange. Just as he finished speaking, his gaze shifted toward a shadow. 

The Beast Kings turned. From the darkness emerged a young girl—silver-haired, violet-eyed, bearing a 50% resemblance to Gu Yuena. Her demeanor was lively, her brows carrying a hint of heroic spirit. 

"Hello, uncles and aunties! I'm Bai Yue!" The girl grinned brightly, showing no shyness as she curiously observed her surroundings. 

"This—this is their child?!" Chi Wang blurted out in shock. 

"Yes. Due to certain circumstances, Bai Yue has come here." Di Tian glanced at her awkwardly, choosing not to expose her. 

"No need to hide it, Uncle Di Tian!" Bai Yue puffed her chest proudly. "I angered my dad and ran away!" 

She didn't understand why her cheapskate father had sealed her innate physique. 

When Bai Yue was born, Bai Xu had immediately sealed her powers, only releasing them once stability was assured. 

Ten thousand years later, Bai Yue was only eight years old. 

Naturally, she held a grudge. Still young and influenced by online slang, she once jokingly told her father to "spit out some gold coins for cultivation." 

The result? House arrest. 

Seizing the moment when Bai Xu entered The Heaven of Selfless Transformation Realm, she escaped. 

Upon learning of her escape, Gu Yuena burst into laughter and sent her here to lay low. 

The Beast Kings fell silent. The thought of that man being angry was unimaginable. 

"Don't worry. The former master sent her here," Di Tian reassured them, calming their nerves. 

"Bai Yue… how is the former master?" Bi Ji asked gently. 

"Mom told me her life has been incredible," Bai Yue replied casually. "She's seen Otherworldly Demons, witnessed epochal calamities, and even traveled upstream through time to behold the origin of darkness. Now, she's living in seclusion with Dad, Second Mom, and Third Mom, waiting for his final breakthrough! Basically, they're in retirement mode! Though my stingy dad is scary, Mom seems happy. But I don't like him—he's mean to me." 

Her carefree words drew laughter from the group. Though they didn't fully understand, it seemed the former master was doing well—far surpassing even the Dragon God in power. 

Suddenly— 

"Dragon God…" 

A mental transmission arrived. The Federation's Yun Ming had come to discuss the other Douluo Federation. 

"I'll return shortly." With that, Di Tian vanished.
