Background and History

Beast Ancestor’s Rule and Expulsion

Beast Ancestor originally ruled both the Demon Race and the twelve Starry Sky Behemoth lineages. He was a unique Special Lifeform rather than biologically a member of either group. Under his leadership, the Demon Race rose to pinnacle-race status 717.

His monopoly over power and suppression of younger generations created deep resentment. After Zhen Jiao and Meng Cha rose and obtained Supreme Supreme Treasures, they joined the Demon Race’s Universe Masters in expelling him. The Starry Sky Behemoths subsequently split from the Demon Race and refused to recognize him as their progenitor 714 717.

The two succeeding ancestors were trusted to administer wealth accumulated over countless eras. This contrasted with the Universe Masters’ distrust of Beast Ancestor, whom the Lord of Sky Wolf regarded as willing to treat the race as a bargaining chip 714 717.

Rivalry with Humanity

The Demon Race, Human Race, Zerg, and Machine Race shared borders and fought particularly brutal conflicts. Each targeted promising geniuses from the other three races to prevent future threats from maturing 314.

Azure Feather Marquis described the Demon Race as coveting Human Race territory and reported hearing that it wanted to draw the Starry Sky Beast Alliance into its camp. These claims were presented through his openly hostile assessment of the demons 207.

Major Story Arcs

Outer Domain Battlefield

• The Green Feather Squad destroyed a Black Boar Race squad. Lu Qingshan killed a World Lord through illusion, while Azure Feather Marquis killed the fleeing Immortal pig demon 207.
• On Star Island, Lu Qingshan killed the Ziqian Myriad Snake and three subordinate Demon Race Marquises in a surprise attack 218.
• In the Star Tower, Silver Eyes devastated the Demon Race camp. Golden Eye King self-destructed rather than fall under his soul control 488.

Conflict with Xue You King

The feud began before Lu Qingshan’s Ghost King Avatar reached the Ancestral God Religion, when it killed the fleeing Samsara Cong-Eyed Snake. Demon Race inheritors subsequently challenged him repeatedly in Glory World 287 340.

Lu Qingshan also hunted Demon Race Universe Venerables through his Xue You Clone. In Ruin Wind Mountain, Space-Time Samsara annihilated Venerable Spirit Deer, Venerable Mad Beast, and their companion 395 396.

Assassination Plans and the Lord of Sky Wolf’s Defeat

• Genius targeting: The Lord of Sky Wolf marked Meng Luo as an assassination target 314.
• Joint assassination contract: Dream Demon Ancestor and the Zerg Queen accepted Mechanical Father God’s proposal to hire Void True Demon God to kill Lu Qingshan for three Peak Supreme Treasures 554.
• Attack on Demon Master Xue You: The Lord of Sky Wolf borrowed the Demon Island Vine, Dream Ancestor Domain, and Heaven Locking Tower to suppress, bind, and seal him. Dream Demon Ancestor was to obstruct any intervention by an Ancestral God 572.
• Reversal: Demon Master Xue You sealed the Lord of Sky Wolf and acquired the Demon Island Vine and Dream Ancestor Domain. Humanity assessed the loss as substantial, but not enough to cripple the Demon Race 589 591.

Tilted Peak Realm Expedition

Lord Changjiu obtained a Silk Thread Map from Demon Master Xue You in the Yuan Ao Secret Realm. Shock Demon Ancestor followed it into Tilted Peak Realm and discovered a powerful Supreme Supreme Treasure axe after exploring less than one percent of the mapped region 680 690 699.

The discovery convinced both ancestors that the map represented extraordinary good fortune. Dream Demon Ancestor abandoned her suspicion that it might be Xue You’s scheme, reasoning that he would not sacrifice such a treasure merely to deceive them 699.

Both ancestors later entered the Dim Land and encountered World Beast Mohe. Before dying, Dream Demon Ancestor transmitted a fragmented warning naming the Core Land of Tilted Peak Realm, Haolei Star Lord, Qiu Yan Ancestral God, King Zhen Jia, and a World Beast 711 713 714.

Invasion and Beast Ancestor’s Return

The Universe Masters initially concealed the deaths and voted to invite Beast Ancestor back. The Lord of Sky Wolf opposed the proposal, warning that he would exploit the crisis to seize control 714.

Beast Ancestor demanded the ancestors’ legacies, absolute obedience, unrestricted control of resources, and tribute from vassal races. To pressure the Demon Race into accepting, he secretly arranged for the Human Race, Zerg, and Machine Race to learn of the ancestors’ deaths 717.

The resulting crisis escalated rapidly:

• Humanity, the Zerg, the Machine Race, and the Prison Race invaded Demon Race territory 718 719.
• Humanity captured two star sectors within days and more than ten within a month 719 720.
• The twenty-one Demon Race Universe Masters concentrated against the Machine Race, whose Father God was absent. Their victory forced its forces to withdraw from previously occupied regions 719 720.
• After the Universe Masters demonstrated that they would rather disperse with their clans than accept his original demands, Beast Ancestor lowered his conditions and returned 720.

Defeat and Fragmentation

Beast Ancestor’s return failed to reverse the war. Lu Qingshan’s Purple-Gold Coiled Dragon Armor withstood the Demon Race’s combined attack, while its Will Impact deprived opposing experts of the ability to resist. He then sealed Beast Ancestor 724 726.

The surviving Universe Masters abandoned the race’s territory rather than risk suppression themselves. Some established new domains in remote regions; others joined the Northern Territory Alliance or Nine Domains Alliance. The Lord of Sky Wolf persuaded Lord Youmo and the Lord of Nine Remoteness to join humanity with their clans 727.

The former Dream Ancestor Secret Realm became a ruined negotiation site where humanity, the Zerg, and the Machine Race discussed dividing the conquered territory 727.

Territory

Treasures and Equipment

• Metal Puppets and World Rings: Some enormous-bodied demons kept their true bodies inside World Rings and operated humanoid Metal Puppets for convenient spaceship travel 207.
• Demon Island Vine: A binding treasure lent by Dream Demon Ancestor to the Lord of Sky Wolf; subsequently acquired by Lu Qingshan 572 589.
• Dream Ancestor Domain: A powerful domain treasure intended to suppress Xue You’s own domain; also acquired by Lu Qingshan 572 589.
• Heaven Locking Tower: Borrowed for the plan to seal Demon Master Xue You 572.
• Domain Breaking Cone: Shock Demon Ancestor’s existing Supreme Supreme Treasure weapon 690 699.
• Supreme Supreme Treasure axe: Obtained by Shock Demon Ancestor in Tilted Peak Realm. He estimated it to be a ninth-tier treasure, stronger than his Domain Breaking Cone 690.
• Silk Thread Map: Guided the ancestors’ profitable initial exploration and their subsequent fatal expedition 680 699 711 714.
• Ancestral inheritance: Surviving experts contested shares of the fallen ancestors’ wealth; the Lord of Sky Wolf later secured a Peak Supreme Treasure saber from Lord Mie Jin as his portion 739.

Relationships

• Human Race — Long-standing territorial enemy and eventual conqueror. Accepted the Sky Wolf Race, Youmo Race, and Nine Remoteness Clan as protected vassals after the war 314 727 728.
• Zerg — Border rival and occasional assassination partner against humanity; invaded once the two demon ancestors fell 314 554 718.
• Machine Race — Rival that cooperated against Lu Qingshan, then invaded Demon Race territory and became the target of its concentrated counterattack 554 719 720.
• Starry Sky Beast Alliance — Its lineages formerly belonged to the Demon Race. Its progenitor refused to intervene during the collapse and denied any continuing relationship 717 719.
• Ancestral God Religion — Hosted thousands of Demon Race inheritors, but its protection of Xue You complicated the race’s attempts to eliminate him 420 572.
• Northern Territory Alliance and Nine Domains Alliance — Received some surviving Demon Race Universe Masters after the territorial defeat 727.
• Prison Race — Plundered the collapsing Demon Race, then transferred occupied territory to humanity rather than contest its victory 718 726 727.

Disambiguation

• The Demon Race Alliance encountered alongside the Sea Race Alliance belongs to another Primal Universe. Its Master of Ten Thousand Demons and Master of the Final Nightmare should not be confused with the original Demon Race’s leadership 801 849 852.
