Su Yu arrived at a star system inhabited by the Spirit Beast Clan, a race potentially wielding the "Power of Narrative." These beings, who transform primitive plants into bizarre animals and develop strange technologies, have militarized wooden ships, which inexplicably fly through space at incredible speeds, defying the laws of physics. Su Yu suspects their low intelligence prevents them from abusing this power, but observes a recent, bizarre shift in their behavior and technology, questioning if either the clan or their mysterious creator has grown stronger.

Although the Spirit Beast Clan utilized technologically primitive wooden boats, making them appear frail, Su Yu perceived this as a testament to their growing strength. This indicated their Power of Narrative was capable of rewriting, or even disregarding, fundamental rules. While the Spirit Beast Clan within this specific star system might be manageable, a widespread transformation across all such clans would undoubtedly lead to dire consequences. As Su Yu pondered these implications, other human Fourth-Order Warriors initiated their assault. Boom! Leaping from their spaceship, these Fourth-Order Warriors unleashed their Spiritual Energy, targeting the wooden vessels. In mere moments, hundreds of wooden ships were obliterated, reduced to drifting remnants in space. The Spirit Beast Clan seemed remarkably weak, almost akin to ordinary individuals. Such complete annihilation served as a stark, irrefutable message: "You are extinguished." Even though the Spirit Beast Clan possessed the resilience to continue fighting after grievous wounds, the declaration of their demise rendered them instantly deceased. This utter destruction, reducing them to fragments, required no further confirmation. The warriors, lulled into a false sense of security, began to relax their vigilance, deeming the Spirit Beast Clan peculiar but ultimately not formidable. However, the command center of the mothership had issued a prior warning: the Spirit Beast Clan of this particular star system exhibited unusual characteristics, necessitating thorough investigation before any deep incursions. Had this caution not been exercised, they would have plunged directly into the star system, commencing a systematic purge of each planet. Consequently, the group activated their spaceship's scanning equipment, aiming to comprehensively survey the star system prior to advancing further. However, all attempts to scan within the star system proved futile, as if the region existed in an alternate spacetime dimension. Regardless of their scanning efforts, they received only distorted, unintelligible data instead of normal results. It was then that they comprehended why even the advanced technology of the mothership could not provide them with accurate information – this location was indeed exceptionally strange. Patience became their ally as they awaited further developments. Soon, another wave of wooden boats approached. This time, the Spirit Beast Clan aboard these vessels were not unarmed; they were equipped with weapons. Their arsenal consisted of… bows and arrows, alongside catapults. Witnessing such rudimentary armaments left the human warriors bewildered and speechless. Just as they prepared for another effortless slaughter, a sudden streak of green flashed, and a wooden arrow struck a Fourth-Order Warrior, causing their head to explode! "How could this be..." Despite a gaping wound in his head with cerebral matter spilling out, the Fourth-Order Warrior miraculously survived, his formidable power preserving him. While channeling Spiritual Energy to mend his injuries, he expressed his disbelief. The other warriors, jolted by the event, hastily amplified their Spiritual Energy for self-protection and subsequently launched their own counterattacks. Once again, the Spirit Beast Clan were unexpectedly vanquished. Yet, shortly thereafter, another contingent of Spirit Beast Clan emerged. This time, these warriors were adorned in what they considered Battle Armor—a crude assembly of wood and metal haphazardly fastened upon them. Having learned from previous encounters, the human warriors approached with caution, no longer underestimating their opponents. Indeed, when their attacks landed on these armored Spirit Beast Clan, they met unexpected resistance, preventing immediate annihilation. It was astounding to consider that these human warriors, each a powerful Fourth-Order cultivator capable of eradicating a planet's biosphere, found their assaults impeded by such primitive constructions of wood and metal. Despite the newfound resistance, it was only marginal, and ultimately, these Spirit Beast Clan were still defeated. Soon, the group encountered yet another wave of Spirit Beast Clan whose equipment had undergone a further upgrade. The nature of this enhancement involved igniting the tips of their arrows, transforming them into rudimentary rockets – literally, fire arrows. These projectiles possessed formidable destructive capabilities; the seemingly small flames concealed temperatures reaching millions of degrees, causing significant disarray among the Fourth-Order Warriors. Nevertheless, they ultimately succeeded in eliminating the threat. By this point, it had become alarmingly clear that the Spirit Beast Clan were undergoing continuous evolution, with the human warriors serving as their catalyst. The terrifying prospect arose that if this evolution were permitted to proceed unchecked, the Spirit Beast Clan might become invincible. A swift and decisive extermination was imperative, denying them further time to adapt and grow stronger. Consequently, they abandoned all hesitation and charged directly into the star system. Su Yu, merging with the advancing group, entered the star system as well. Midway through their advance, they were intercepted by a new wave of Spirit Beast Clan. This time, however, the Spirit Beast Clan eschewed their wooden boats, instead traversing the void of space and executing hyperspace jumps to confront their attackers directly.

Instantly, the group observed that the so-called "ships" of the Spirit Beast Clan were still constructed from wood. However, they no longer utilized paddles for propulsion; instead, they seemed to rely on… insects?

At the forefront of these wooden vessels, members of the Spirit Beast Clan brandished shovel-like implements, also crafted from wood and appearing to be riddled with wormholes.

Then, these Spirit Beast Clan warriors proceeded to "excavate" the space before them with these shovels.

The very fabric of space ahead of the wooden ships was literally torn open, birthing a "wormhole" that facilitated hyperspace jumps for the wooden vessels.

Despite these warriors being battle-hardened veterans, this peculiar form of technology was entirely alien to them, causing a shiver of astonishment to run down their spines.

These Spirit Beast Clan were truly unreasonable; even spatial technology and abilities represented advanced concepts for Fourth-Order human warriors, mastered by only a select few.

Could it be that these Spirit Beast Clan achieved hyperspace jumps using such bizarre shovels?

Before the warriors could even process this, one of the Spirit Beast Clan members swung his shovel directly at them.

Shh...

With a subtle sound, the shovel traversed space, materializing out of thin air directly before a Fourth-Order Warrior's eyes, aiming for his head.

Startled, the warrior reacted instantaneously, executing an explosive retreat to narrowly evade a fatal blow to the head.

After his retreat, he gazed upon the spatial rift generated by the shovel's passage, his body slick with cold sweat.

Had his head been obliterated by such a spatial assault, even a Fourth-Order cultivator would perish without hope of recovery.

Though deathly afraid, he loathed the idea of dying so absurdly at the hands of a wooden shovel.

What was going on with these Spirit Beast Clan? The previous encounters with the Spirit Beast Clan involved normal Spiritual Energy and technology, appearing crude and strange at most, but at least indicating a recognizable technological path.

Now, these Spirit Beast Clan seemed utterly incomprehensible and overwhelmingly enigmatic.

Following this initial encounter, the group plunged into a fierce battle against the Spirit Beast Clan.

While the Spirit Beast Clan possessed peculiar spatial technology, they were ultimately no match for the Fourth-Order Powerhouses and were completely annihilated.

The group pressed onward toward the planets within the star system, driven by the fear of what these creatures might evolve into if they delayed their advance.

Yet, as Su Yu observed the scattered debris of the fallen Spirit Beast Clan floating in space, a nagging thought arose… were these creatures truly deceased?
