Gorr, also known as the God Butcher, reunites with Klaus and other allies from the Primordial Era. Klaus reveals that the universe faces multiple grave threats: a significantly stronger invasion of Void Beasts, an escalating conflict with the Foreign Race, and a terrifying third invasion from a Doomsday Lord, potentially eclipsing the others. He announces his intention to lead a vanguard to the Ancient Battlefield to confront the Foreign Race, emphasizing the need for collective strength to face these impending dangers and a potential "Great Catastrophe."

After his friends awoke, Klaus spent a few days helping them understand their new bloodlines and the powers they had awakened.

Since he had caused their bloodlines to mutate, he made sure to help them get used to them. After that was done, he entered seclusion to raise his cultivation far beyond the Immortal King stage.

His other incarnations were already demigods, with Rhazor having already reached the God stage. So he ought to raise the cultivation of his main body as well.

A week into his seclusion, Rhazor returned to Planet Caelmir, and a day later, he and his friends, alongside their girlfriends, left for the Ancient Battlefield.

The distance from the Human Universe to the Ancient Battlefield would take six months if they traveled directly in their ship.

However, Klaus had no plans of doing that. Instead, he sent Runner to the Universe Portal, where all who sought to travel to the Ancient Battlefield could pass through.

With this portal, it would take them two months to reach their destination.

So they left, and two weeks later, Klaus came out of seclusion as an Immortal Lord. He had nothing holding him back now, so he pushed his cultivation much further.

The moment he came out of seclusion, he left for Planet Nexarion to meet the Genesis Flame Queen and reunite with Nyrela, who also happened to be the second Starlight.

He needed to become a god, so since he had located her, he might as well awaken her so she could open the gateway for him. The next to become a god would probably be Asura, who would also walk the Blood Path, but with an emphasis on slaughter rather than flames.

Meanwhile, his wives were nearing the third Asura Key. Now that they had located and convinced Aster to join them, they were closing in on the last person.

Afterward, they would head to the place where the keys would be used. Hopefully, by then, Asura would become a god. The Asura Race would need him to lead them into battle since that is their nature.

On the other side, Efad had cleared the sixth and seventh Void Vortices and was close to clearing the eighth. This achievement had pushed his Void Comprehension to the Harmony stage and would soon allow him to reach Perfect Harmony.

Once he achieved that, he would become a god, which Klaus believed would push him to the Absolute Void Mastery stage—that is, if he didn’t achieve it before his ascension.

Kaden had also mastered the scythe and three scythe techniques to perfection and had even created a battle style for it. Now, he was cultivating the Beast God Claw Art.

He wanted to unlock the other forms and fully cultivate them so he could move on to the next technique hidden within the Immortal Claw Art. He probably wouldn’t be done before his turn to become a god arrived, but Klaus knew he would make great progress.

Knox had also comprehended Intent for all the elements under Klaus’s command, and he was working on comprehending Intent for the Laws. After that, he hoped to move on to the Concepts.

Orion was also working on upgrading his Beast Legion. The Bloodline Tree had proven rather overpowered, aiding him in bestowing powerful bloodlines upon his Beast Legion.

When he was done, he would focus on the Calamity Beasts he had obtained from the Jade Nest and the ones he had acquired from the Devil’s Maw. They were all potential powerhouses he could count on.

Klaus planned to welcome the rest of his beasts from Earth and also add new ones. So the mission to the Ancient Battlefield wasn’t going to be all about fighting powerful foes; it would also involve searching for more beast companions.

The Foreign Race wasn’t made up of only humans. It included demons, beasts, aliens, and many other races. So he was going with the intention of recruiting more beast companions and striking fear into the enemy’s hearts.

There is a lot to be done, but thankfully, with multiple bodies, he is getting them all done.

Meanwhile, back on Planet Nexarion, Nyrela and her mother, the Genesis Flame Queen, stood at the docking bay waiting for Klaus’s arrival.

They were both excited to welcome Klaus, but the Genesis Flame Queen was even happier. To her, she was about to meet an old flame and someone who had helped her greatly when she needed it most.

In the past, she couldn’t thank him for saving her life because the Paragon was hard to reach. But things were very different now.

If this had been before the Celestial Supreme was exposed, they wouldn’t have openly invited Klaus to their home. But as it stood now, the universe was leaning toward Klaus’s side.

Powerhouses kept reaching out to form alliances with him. While Klaus had plans to respond to all of them, he was remaining silent for now. Because of this, the Genesis Flame Queen and her daughter were delighted to welcome him.

The Genesis Flame Queen looked at her daughter and smirked. "Look at you. Are you that eager to see him again? I thought you didn’t like him when you first met him."

Nyrela blushed. "That was because he stole the Flame Dao Crystal from me. But things are different now... He exposed the rot within the Heavens Court, so I want to thank him."

"Look at you, behaving as if the universe is yours," the Genesis Flame Queen sneered, and was about to tease her daughter further when a spaceship entered the atmosphere and headed toward them.

"He is here," Nyrela muttered, straightening her back as she watched the ship descend toward them.

A few minutes later, the ship landed. Klaus was using the X-Class spaceship he had obtained from the Vault inside the second level of the Inheritance Tower. It was majestic and built to withstand a full-on attack from a Supreme.

The moment the hatch opened and Klaus walked out, smiles spread across the faces of the two ladies who had been waiting for him for a month...

"Welcome to Planet Nexarion, Lord Paragon," the Genesis Flame Queen said, giving a small bow. Nyrela followed her kind gesture, also bowing slightly.

Seeing this, Klaus chuckled. "It really isn’t necessary to be this polite, Ember," Klaus said as he stopped in his tracks. "Just lift your head. I’m not an overlord or anything."

The Genesis Flame Queen smiled and lifted her head. "Ember, huh? It has been several million years since someone called me by that name."

Klaus smirked. "I don’t forget names, and I most certainly don’t forget faces. That said, it’s good to see you again, Ember."

Klaus then turned to Nyrela. "You too, Nyrela. And please, call me Klaus from now on. ’Paragon’ makes me feel like a foreigner in my own home."

The two ladies smiled, becoming even happier.

"It is good to see you again too, Klaus."

Klaus saw her come, but he didnt have the time to evade, so her big boobs slammed into his chest, and her soft hands wrapped around his neck.

Nyrela could only shake her head as she stared at her mother hugging Klaus.

Klaus was a bit stunned, but his shamelessness took over the next second, and his hand grabbed hold of her ass and pulled her closer to himself.

Nyrela’s cheeks turned beet red seeing Klaus hold her mom’s butt, who she knew was enjoying herself right about now.
