The sky tore itself apart.
The Star Dou Great Forest trembled as the Seventh Thunder Tribulation descended with monstrous fury.
A cataclysm of light and sound engulfed the Core Area, silver arcs ripping through the heavens like furious gods.
The ferocious beasts, ancient rulers of the land, braced themselves — but the punishment was brutal.
---
Di Tian, standing at the forefront, bore the heaviest strike.
His black scales cracked, golden blood staining the ground, yet he roared defiantly against the heavens.
Bi Ji, weaving healing and defense, stumbled under the assault, emerald light flickering as her spirit nearly broke.
The other Great Beasts — the Infernal Ice Qilin, the Dark Devilgod Tiger, the Scarlet King —
all staggered, their bodies shattered, their vitality draining into the broken earth.
The ancient trees that had stood for ten thousand years crumbled into dust.
The Life Lake itself rippled violently, its golden surface dimming.
---
At the heart of the storm, Da Ming and Er Ming fought their final battle.
Lightning cleaved open Da Ming's massive chest, burning through bone and spirit.
Er Ming's serpent body twisted in agony, scales vaporized by the godly fury.
Yet they stood firm, shielding the unborn life they had sworn to protect.
Until...
Their breaths faded.
Their great bodies collapsed onto the earth.
Their eyes closed — smiling, peaceful.
They had fulfilled their oath.
---
For the first time in millennia, the great Di Tian, King of Beasts, fell to one knee.
He stared at Da Ming and Er Ming's lifeless forms, trembling, his heart breaking silently.
They had followed him, fought beside him, laughed and wept with him — and now they were gone.
Tears, thick and heavy, welled in his golden eyes.
He lowered his head in grief, letting the storm lash his body without resistance.
---
Above, the skies howled again.
The Eighth Tribulation gathered.
The air itself became heavy, suffocating all living things.
The light dimmed until only darkness remained.
Sensing imminent extinction, Gu Yuena appeared atop the golden island.
Her silver hair floated around her like a divine veil, her face calm, majestic.
With a wave of her hand, a colossal silver barrier enveloped the entire Core Area.
She spoke in a voice that shook the world:
"No more."
The tribulation bolt fell —
but it crashed against Gu Yuena's barrier and dissipated, unable to breach her divine might.
In that moment, she held back annihilation itself.
The cost was heavy — her aura visibly weakened, her body trembling slightly.
But she endured.
For the unborn life that would change everything.
---
And then...
The Ninth Thunder Tribulation gathered — the final, fatal blow.
Gu Yuena, her strength faltering, called out:
"Di Tian — shield him!"
Without hesitation, Di Tian surged forward, his battered body taking the frontline again.
Bi Ji followed, her emerald wings wrapping around the golden island.
All other beasts —
those that had survived until now —
charged forward too.
They roared, cried, wept —
but they stood.
---
When the final bolt fell, it was like the wrath of a dying star.
The explosion shook the Star Dou Great Forest, craters opening where land once stood.
The beasts screamed as they disintegrated under the celestial wrath.
One by one, the proud ancient beasts — the Infernal Ice Qilin, the Sky Lightning Tiger, the Dark Devilgod Tiger —
fell, their bodies burning to ashes, their souls scattering into the sky.
Only Di Tian and Bi Ji survived — barely, breathing raggedly, their bodies torn and smoking.
The world fell silent.
The rain of destruction ended.
---
Inside the womb, Shiv wept silently.
Tears floated around him in tiny spheres.
He had watched every death.
Every sacrifice.
He clutched his small heart, the weight almost unbearable.
The System appeared beside him, no longer playful, but solemn and kind.
> [ Even Gu Yuena herself... didn't know. ]
[ Even the gods beyond the world had no idea about the thunder tribulation awaiting you. ]
Shiv choked out, "She was willing... willing to bet her life, to sacrifice the future of the spirit beasts... just for me..."
> [ Yes, Host. ]
[ Your life is not just your own. It is a legacy of love, of sacrifice, of dreams. ]
Tears streamed endlessly down Shiv's cheeks.
He clenched his tiny fists and swore:
"I will live.
I will laugh.
I will protect.
I will shine so brightly... that all who sacrificed will smile proudly from heaven."
The System smiled warmly — an unseen hug.
> [ That's the spirit, Shiv. ]
For a moment, they both sat there — in silence, in grief, in newfound strength.
---
Then, mischievous light returned to the System's voice:
> [ Now... ready for your forced entrance into the world? ]
Shiv blinked.
"Wait— what?" he gasped, confused.
> [ Yep! Time to be born, my little war god! 🚼✨ ]
Shiv laughed tearfully.
"System... thank you."
> [ Aww, touching moment! Saved and recorded for your future Embarrassing Memories Archive! ]
Shiv rolled his tiny eyes.
---
Outside, Ah Yin, drained, pale as a ghost, still clung to consciousness.
Through sheer will, she preserved her fragile life.
Gu Yuena and Bi Ji walked over solemnly, their wounded bodies glowing faintly.
They placed their hands over Ah Yin's womb.
The final process began.
---
The skies trembled one last time.
A sound — no, a BGM — echoed through the Star Dou Forest and the Far North simultaneously.
It was Kaiju No.8's powerful soundtrack, heavy with drums and warlike horns.
From the icy desolation of the Far North, Snow Empress and Ice Empress looked up, startled, sensing a phenomenon unlike anything before.
Dragons roared through the clouds.
Phoenixes danced through the heavens.
The Life Gold itself blazed with golden fire.
---
And then —
Shiv's first cry shattered the silence.
A wail — strong, defiant, proud.
The sound rolled through the world like a dragon's roar, carrying the hopes of two races.
Kaiju No.8's BGM roared in the background, filling every soul with awe and trembling.
Spirit Hall forces surrounding the clearing stood frozen in terror.
They saw the collapsed, scorched corpses of Da Ming and Er Ming.
They saw Gu Yuena standing there like a goddess of judgment.
They saw Di Tian and Bi Ji shielding a small, glowing figure.
A newborn child — yet carrying the weight of an era.
---
Shiv had been born.
And the world... would never be the same again.
