Deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, a 100,000-year-old soul beast was nourishing the entire forest with its life force.

Its soul power penetrates deep into the ground, delivering nutrients to every plant; its branches and leaves stretch towards the sky, sheltering countless weak soul beasts from wind and rain.

It is the mother of the forest and the guardian of countless creatures.

The scene changes.

A group of hunters from the divine realm bound the soul beast with chains of order and forcibly extracted its soul ring.

It struggles in pain.

The hunters, meanwhile, merely recorded the data indifferently, discussing what level of artifact this soul ring could be forged into.

The image disappeared.

Gu Yuena withdrew her hand and looked at everyone.

"I was born in the lower realm and grew up in the Star Dou Great Forest."

Her voice was soft, “My family, my friends, my people… are all soul beasts.”

“Di Tian, ​​Chi Wang, Bi Ji… You may never have heard of their names. But to me, they are family.”

"Ten thousand years ago, the five great god-kings sent the divine army to massacre the Star Dou Great Forest in order to eliminate any future threat."

My people are either dead, have fled, or are sealed away.

Di Tian was pinned to the bottom of the lake by the Asura Demon Sword, the Crimson King was besieged and killed by the Thirty-Six Divine Generals, and Bi Ji was pierced through the chest by the scythe of the Evil God…

Her voice remained calm, but everyone could hear the suppressed, volcanic grief beneath that calm.

"I know that the ways the divine realm has treated soul beasts for millennia cannot be completely changed by a single law. But I hope—"

She raised her head and looked at everyone.

"At least, starting today, let's prevent any more tragedies."

"At least, starting today, those vulnerable lives will have a glimmer of hope."

"At least--"

Her voice finally trembled slightly.

"Don't let my people shed any more tears."

There was a long silence in the square.

Then, the fiery unicorn was the first to speak.

"I support Lord Dragon God."

Its voice was deep, yet clear.

"Although I am a divine beast, not a soul beast from the lower realm, I know what it's like to be treated as an outsider, discriminated against, and hunted." It looked at the other alien deities: "The Temple of Ten Thousand Races has given us fairness. Lord Dragon God has given soul beasts fairness."

This fairness shouldn't belong to us alone.

"I support it too." The stone giant's voice was like a mountain collapsing.
"Our Stone Clan was once besieged by the army of the God Realm, simply because our crystal cores can be used to refine weapons."

"I support you." The ancient tree swayed its branches and leaves. "Plant-type soul beasts are also life."

"Support." Those few wisps of remnant souls uttered a weak yet resolute voice.

"In our previous lives... we were also soul beasts."

One, two, ten, a hundred...

The voices of support are growing louder and more numerous.

Not only alien deities, but also many human deities joined the ranks of supporters.

Those low-ranking priests and soldiers who once struggled, were oppressed, and ignored at the bottom best understand what it feels like to be "treated as an outsider".

Finally, even those high-ranking deities who were once high above bowed their heads.

It wasn't that they genuinely agreed, but rather that they understood—the tide had turned.

The rules of the new divine realm have been inscribed into the laws.

Those who defy the rules will indeed be stripped of their divine status.

Gu Yuena looked at the faces below, some genuinely supportive and others reluctantly so, and slowly nodded.

"Article 5 Supplementary Regulations shall take effect immediately."

She raised her hand, and the eight-colored dragon scales condensed in her palm into an emblem interwoven with emerald green and platinum.

The emblem flew into the sky, standing alongside the Divine Examination Temple that Qian Renshang had previously condensed, transforming into an eternal radiance that illuminated every corner of the divine realm.

In the light, lines of golden divine runes slowly emerged—these were five new divine laws, permanently inscribed by the laws.

Article 1: Abolish the hereditary system of divine positions and establish a system of divine examination and promotion.

Article 2: Open the ascension channel to the lower realm, allowing all living beings to compete on an equal footing.

Article 3: The divine realm shall not interfere with the natural development of the lower realm.

Article 4: Establish a temple for all races to protect the rights and interests of non-human deities.

Article 5: Any deity who indiscriminately kills soul beasts shall be stripped of their divine position.

The five divine laws, like five pillars supporting the sky, upheld the legal framework of the new divine realm. (End of Chapter)
