Ding'er, guided by the palace attendants, arrived at the administrative hall. "Greetings, Your Majesty~ Your sinful subject is late~" Ding'er knelt immediately upon seeing Emperor Ba reviewing documents. "The general has told me about your deeds. Arrogance has always been your unyielding flaw, but it's good that you're out. I had planned to send Jiahu to negotiate," Emperor Ba responded slowly, setting down the papers."It was my negligence that led to this outcome. I have no words to defend myself," Ding'er said, bowing his head in admission of guilt. "Rise. The world has changed drastically, and you must learn to adapt to the new atmosphere," Emperor Ba said. "By the way, Your Majesty, has the war truly ended? Along my journey, I heard rumors of demons and humans coexisting. What changed Your Majesty's mind?" Ding'er stood and asked.Emperor Ba's lips curved slightly. "The results today far surpass my initial vision, all thanks to the Chosen One and Enis. Not all humans are impossible to coexist with. In time, you'll understand these words." Ding'er recalled the events of his journey and found himself somewhat agreeing, though puzzled by the title Emperor Ba mentioned. "The Chosen One? Who might this great figure be?" Ding'er asked, confused. "Heh, an extraordinary human who has become Enis's husband and saved this world. Unfortunately, they are not here now, but you'll meet them in time," Emperor Ba replied calmly. "Enis married a human? Yes, Your Majesty, I will follow your guidance henceforth," Ding'er said, bowing. "Your punishment period is sufficient. Return to the Demon Realm and summon Mino. I can't handle everything alone," Emperor Ba issued his first order. "As you command!" Ding'er accepted the order and left, thinking to himself, (That aloof woman actually married? And to a human? Unbelievable.)Far away, in the Divine Sound Universe, atop the ethereal Final Sound Pavilion surrounded by a sea of clouds, two elegant deities played a game of chess. "The Luxi Universe is progressing too—quite unexpected," the Divine Sound God Master sensed the contest between Lulu and White. "The other must be the Seed of the Stars. I look forward to our meeting," said the deity holding the black pieces, the former God Master Shenfen, whose power once rivaled White's. Having been displaced after The Great Void Black Hole devoured his universe, his power had grown from 2 million units of The Power of the Universe to 5 million, though that was merely a glimpse of his strength at his last intervention. His true power now remains unknown.Turning to the even more distant Great Ao Universe Interstellar Federation, "Chimera has been exiled, yet new forces emerge. This grain of sand never ceases to trouble," Speaker Kē mù pèi bù sī yě sighed, gazing out the window. "Blame those sluggards on Nibiru for their delays. Send someone to urge them to resolve this swiftly. This is the mother planet of the Seed of the Stars—no negligence allowed!" he ordered again.Speaking of Earth's history, one must mention Nibiru, the last planet in the solar system. Over 4 billion years ago, Nibiru gave birth to life. At that time, a massive semi-planetary body called Tiamat drifted in the solar system. During a convergence 4 billion years ago, one of Nibiru's satellites, T2B00, collided with Tiamat. The catastrophic impact shattered T2B00 into fragments, splitting Tiamat in two. One part scattered into the solar system's asteroid belt, while the larger part, combined with T2B00's remnants, continued orbiting between Venus and Mars, eventually becoming Earth. Tiamat was the Nibiruans' original name for Earth. This collision triggered geological activity, turning Tiamat into a living planet that gradually evolved microorganisms. After billions of years, Earth entered the dinosaur era. Nibiru, ahead of Earth, developed an interstellar civilization and treated Earth as an alien farm for observation. Higher-dimensional beings discovered Earth's ecosystem and vied for control. About 66 million years ago, a war broke out in Earth's orbital space between two factions of higher-dimensional beings. One, supported by Nibiru, emerged victorious. The losing faction, seeing defeat, unleashed a high-dimensional bombardment that caused the extinction of all dinosaurs and then departed. Earth entered a long self-repair period. The victors, deeming Earth temporarily unusable, handed its governance to Nibiru before leaving the solar system. Nibiru's Anunnaki offered Earth to the Interstellar Federation as a soul-training ground to secure their place in the federation. However, Earth's life evolved too slowly to serve as a training ground. The Anunnaki used genetic engineering to accelerate the evolution of apes, while also modifying other species, including ancestors of beastmen and lizardmen.
