Meanwhile.

On the largest Beastman battleship, the once-excited Beastman Warboss suddenly fell to his knees. His expression looked extremely pained, his body trembled, and his enormous form showed signs of collapse. He clutched his head tightly, trying to endure without letting out a piercing wail.

His body could no longer bear the burden, and threads of blood seeped from the surface of his skin, making his mountainous flesh seem ready to fall apart into a heap of rotting meat at any moment.

It wasn’t just him who was suffering; almost all the Beastman Spiritualists had similar reactions.

Mind Synchronization Center.

Su Ziyu had his eyes shut tight, his expression twisted, his body slightly trembling. He coughed up another spray of blood, and his complexion turned a bit pale.

“He can’t do it.”

“He’s still not a match for a True God. If this keeps up, he’ll die.” The blonde angel was about to forcibly sever the connection to the Mind Synchronization Center, bringing Su Ziyu’s consciousness back to his body. But before she could act, she saw the facets of diamond-shaped crystals in the Mind Synchronization Center begin to glow, the entire center’s power ramping up to its maximum. Then, a massive consciousness resonated with them, integrating into the Mind Synchronization Center’s controller.

“Is this… panconsciousness?…” the blonde angel murmured.

Stratosphere.

The humanoid void shadow that Su Ziyu had become was rapidly elevating, while the enemy’s power was beyond his expectations. He didn’t even know what the gigantic Beastman in front of him truly was or why it possessed such terrifying spiritual energy. This power was so strong it twisted reality; though merely a spirit body incarnation, it wielded astounding brute force as if it were solid.

This terrifying Beastman of enormous stature reminded him of the Titan Giants from mythology, marking the first time he had encountered a being capable of easily interfering with reality.

Heavenly Battle?

A flash of information crossed his mind, and simultaneously, certain abilities of the Space-Time Monitor System seemed to activate. He vaguely saw a glimpse of a vast, azure door, behind which lay an endless void floating with innumerable faintly glowing dust particles.

Some information flowed into his mind.

This was a gift from the Void Realm, for the Mind Synchronization Center was inherently designed to connect to it. However, Su Ziyu was triggered by the battle, not intentionally forming the Saint incarnation to enter the void.

In that instant,

Su Ziyu was stunned to find that the Empire’s Spiritual Ascension was not entirely a failure because behind the massive door to the void, he saw some indescribable dust swirling into a nebula.

Ancient memories awakened.

Su Ziyu saw some immensely colossal figures composed purely of energy.

——Star Deities.

The origins of their birth are untraceable; the earliest Star Deities had no physical form, existing as pure energy beings that consumed stellar (solar) energy.

In those fleeting ancient memories, humanity had yet to appear, as the Milky Way was governed by an even older race—the Fearful Sovereigns, possessed of exceedingly advanced technology, whose influence spanned across the Milky Way, even reaching the further depths of the cosmos.

Fragmentary memories introduced a new unknown race known as the Ancient Saints, who possessed incredibly powerful spiritual talents and thrived in the chaotic energy of subspace. They were the oldest space race, hidden observers within the Milky Way Galaxy.

An astounding cosmic war ignited.

Su Ziyu only glimpsed brief flashes of scenes—like rulers of the Fearful Sovereigns conversing on the stellar surface with an entity that seemed to be a Star Deity.

Then, the Fearful Sovereigns launched a war against the Ancient Saints.

The advanced space fleet of the Fearful Sovereigns assaulted the Ancient Saints’ planet and even breached the realms they carved in subspace. At the outset, the Fearful Sovereigns held a significant advantage as the Ancient Saints seemed inept at war, their population was sparse, and some Ancient Saints had to guard the subspace entrances, blocking unknown subspace life forms.

But the tide of the war soon shifted.

Because within the Ancient Saints’ ranks emerged new life they created to confront the Fearful Sovereigns—the creations of the Ancient Saints: the Ila Spirit Race and Green-skinned Giants.

One by one, battleships shattered into pieces.

One by one, planets fell consecutively.

Su Ziyu saw the Aida Spirit Race, capable of using spiritual energy to control asteroids, directly drawing massive chaos energy from subspace to destroy enemy fleets and rend planetary surfaces. He also saw the colossal green-skinned giants, far larger than present-day Orcs, beings far older and much larger—using their powerhouse physical bodies to withstand interstellar battleship bombards directly, absorbing light energy through their green skin, and smashing through interstellar fortresses with their massive fists. They even descended onto stellar surfaces, obliterating the large facilities the Fearful Sovereigns used for solar energy harvesting.

The Fearful Sovereigns began to falter, with planet after planet conquered by the Aida Spirit Race and green-skinned giants.

The scene shifted again.

Su Ziyu saw the leader of the Fearful Sovereigns, standing below the looming stellar surface, signing some kind of pact with an ancient Star Deity.

This pact promised the Fearful Sovereigns eternal life and unity.

Countless Fearful Sovereigns gathered, absorbing stellar energy, creating new bodies for their race. They devised a powerful living metal, infusing their souls and consciousness within, becoming an entirely new, formidable race.

——Space Undead!

This marked the most ancient mechanical ascension—all Fearful Sovereigns discarded their original flesh, transferring into newly crafted living metallic bodies.

The moment the pact was completed.

The Star Deities finally revealed their monstrous forms, laughing, feasting upon the life energy and soul energy the Fearful Sovereigns relinquished. This power led to their transcendence, freeing themselves from star-dependent existence, reshaping new forms—a pure energy body crafted from the Fearful Sovereigns’ life energy and soul energy.

The Star Deities appeared liberated.

Meanwhile, the Fearful Sovereigns seemed to gain eternal life, though they sacrificed everything.

A lineage predating humanity by billions of years met its end there, with the Fearful Sovereigns utterly extinct. Those surviving were merely the cursed mechanical race—the Space Undead.

The alliance between the Star Deities and Space Undead doomed the Ancient Saints.

Before the might of the Star Gods, all life was devastated, stars extinguished, and the legions of Space Undead pierced through the subspace networks, launching fierce assaults on the bases of the Ancient Saints scattered throughout the Milky Way Galaxy.

The massive fleet of the Aida Spirit Race was obliterated by the Star Gods.

The interstellar legion of the green-skinned giants was encircled by the Space Undead.

Yet it was not the Star Gods or the Space Undead that ultimately destroyed the Ancient Saints, but rather sinister entities from subspace. Su Ziyu had no idea what they really were; he could only glimpse, in fragmented memories, large and twisted shadows, lurking like predators, defeating the Ancient Saints’ magic and technology, consuming everything they possessed.

Indeed.

The Ancient Saints did not meet their end at the hands of the Star Gods or Space Undead. The true enemy that annihilated them were the terrifying evils from subspace. In the most crucial moment, they launched a deadly assault, eradicating the Ancient Saints from the galaxy entirely!

However, during this battle, Su Ziyu also saw some figures that were both familiar and unfamiliar.

Humans.

In an era when humanity had not yet been born, Su Ziyu saw some incredibly powerful humans active in the battlefield between the Ancient Saints and subspace evils.

No one knew when they arrived.

Su Ziyu did not recognize them.

But he knew who they were.

They were former Space-Time Inspectors, possibly even more ancient Space-Time Guardians, demonstrating powers no less formidable than the Star Gods. In some battles between Space-Time Guardians and subspace evils, entire planets were observed to be annihilated, turning to dust in the boundless universe.

He saw three golems beyond description with words.

The gravity around these golems was completely distorted, such that even light could not escape their domains, only a vague outline of a massive figure could be seen, as if the space they occupied was nearing a black hole.

These terrifying golems could, with a mere gesture, utterly destroy a planet the size of a moon.

——[Neutron Star Golems]!

Suddenly Su Ziyu knew what they were. He saw these Neutron Star Golems tearing apart the large and ferocious forms of the subspace evils. Their battlefield spanned the entire Milky Way Galaxy, and one by one, the subspace evils that had descended to devour the Ancient Saints were vanquished, sealed, and sent back to the chaotic void.

But as a cost, Su Ziyu watched as one Space-Time Guardian after another, capable of moving mountains and parting seas with a gesture, fell.

When the battle finally ended.

Only a few of the surviving Space-Time Inspectors and Space-Time Guardians remained. They sealed the shattered void, creating a reality-barren Void Realm between three-dimensional and four-dimensional space, ultimately leaving this Crystal Wall Element with the three Neutron Star Golems.

The battle between the Star Gods and the Ancient Saints ended.

Yet even the Star Gods could not have imagined that, after the complete extermination of the Ancient Saints, the Space Undead would take advantage of their weakness and strike back without hesitation!

They hated these Star Gods.

Hated their deceit, loathed how they used lies and false eternity to take everything from the Fearful of Death.

In the final phase of the battle in Heaven.

The Space Undead, having fully undergone [Mechanical Ascension], seized the moment of the Ancient Saints’ demise and the exhaustion of the Star Gods, turning their weapons with unimaginable energy from the material universe to directly destroy the Star Gods’ corporeal forms.

However, due to their attributes, the Star Gods could not be completely destroyed; they were akin to the Ancient Gods.

Ultimately, the Space Death God could only slice the Star Gods’ bodies into fragments, sealing and imprisoning them in an unknown four-dimensional labyrinth.

A time-looping labyrinth.

Inescapable.

A labyrinth from which one could never escape for all eternity.

Defeating the Ancient Saints and Star Gods cost the Space Undead greatly; they were unable to contend with the surviving Aida Spirit Race and green-skinned giants in the battle of Heaven. The Silent King of the Space Undead knew their era had temporarily ended and decided to lie dormant, waiting for the decline of the Aida Spirit Race.

The Silent King of the Space Undead ordered the transformation of the remaining cities into gigantic necropolises composed of stasis tomb chambers, hidden in unknown spaces, awaiting the future moment of awakening.

Thus ended the battle of Heaven.

The figures of the Space Undead vanished from the Milky Way Galaxy, not reappearing for sixty million years.

However, the Aida Spirit Race who survived the battle of Heaven did not become the rulers of the Milky Way Galaxy; shortly after, they were crushed by the green-skinned giants, and to this day, little trace of the Spirit Race remains. Instead, the descendants of those green-skinned giants, the fervent and warlike green-skinned Orcs, began active pursuits throughout the Milky Way Galaxy.

After the end of the battle of Heaven, some leftover technologies were acquired by new races.

These technologies eventually fell into the hands of the ancient Human Empire, ultimately leading to three different paths of evolution: [Mechanical Ascension], [Spiritual Ascension], and [Genetic Ascension]!

Legend has it.

When any one race fully achieves true ascension, the long-dormant Space Undead will awaken from their ancient tombs as well.

The chaotic energy of subspace will pierce through the space networks, awakening some survivors from the battle of Heaven.

Undoubtedly!

The immeasurable giant Su Ziyu faces at this moment is a survivor from the battle of Heaven.

It now seems to have become a Divine Spirit worshiped by the Orcs!
