Background / History
Original Ancestor and Noah fought alongside one another for roughly three million cosmic epochs, guiding humanity from a weak race struggling amid wars between countless races into a peak clan of the Primal Universe. Their bond is described as closer to that of both teacher and friend. 1
He established the Virtual Universe Company to consolidate humanity’s resources and cultivate new powerhouses. He also founded the Hong Alliance so humanity would no longer remain isolated and helpless among the races. 1
After ascending to the True God level, Original Ancestor became the decisive deterrent restraining the Monster Race’s Dream and Quake Monster Ancestors. His suppression kept the other peak races from openly challenging humanity. 2
Seeking a path for humanity’s continued survival, he attempted to possess the Primal Universe. Noah and several human leaders had advised delaying the attempt until a second human True God had emerged publicly, but Original Ancestor proceeded nonetheless. 1
The Origin Will suppressed him in the origin of the Primal Universe. Chains embodying the universe’s fundamental rules pierced his divine body and soul, while his consciousness imprint in the Virtual Universe steadily dissipated. Before being fully sealed, he entrusted the human race to Noah. 1
Appearance
At the Primal Universe’s origin, Original Ancestor appears as a towering, solitary figure illuminated by rays of law-light. 1
- His form is described as desolate amid the darkness surrounding the universe’s origin. 1
- During his suppression, origin chains bind and nail his divine body and soul within the origin prison. 1
- Even as his soul imprint fades, he smiles without regret or fear. 1
Personality
Original Ancestor consistently placed humanity above himself. He led from the front, fought personally for the race, and devoted his institutions and decisions to securing humanity’s long-term survival. 1
His greatest flaw was impatience. Noah did not condemn the path he chose, but believed that Original Ancestor’s concern for humanity caused him to lose the judgment expected of a leader when he attempted to possess the Primal Universe too early. 1
Even in defeat, he remains composed. Rather than showing fear or remorse while being dragged into suppression, he calmly leaves humanity’s future in Noah’s hands. 1

Story Role / Major Arcs
Suppression of the Original Ancestor
Original Ancestor’s failed attempt to possess the Primal Universe results in his suppression by the Origin Will. His fading consciousness and apparent removal from the board leave humanity without its foremost public deterrent. 1
Crisis of the Human Race
His suppression, combined with Noah’s feigned death, convinces rival peak races that humanity is vulnerable. The Monster Race begins preparing a race-wide war, while the Bug and Machine Races also consider action against human territory. 2
Legacy
Human leaders continue relying on the foundations laid by Original Ancestor and Noah: the Space Garrison, Land of Light, Virtual Universe, Hong Alliance, and a large body of trained human powerhouses. 1 3
