Both Sides Were Overpowered

"To truly tell this story, we have to go back ten thousand years..."

The voice of the Plane Consciousness paused slightly, as if that divine sense had been detached from time and space, sinking back into the long and profound past.

Bao Liang asked in a low voice, "Starting from ten thousand years ago?"

"Yes, Godfather." The voice of the Plane Consciousness softened, as if caressing a dream that had long been shattered but was still echoing.

"Tens of thousands of years ago, when I first gained consciousness, I lived in the dimensional space of Douluo Star, which is right here."

"At that time, I was still young and didn't understand much about the world."

"Weren't we supposed to be talking about ten thousand years ago? How did we end up talking about tens of thousands of years ago?" Bao Liang asked, puzzled.

"It all started with the First-Generation Angel God. Let me briefly recount some history and explain why Douluo Star is jokingly called the Hydrogen Star People."

The Plane Consciousness clicked its tongue twice, indicating that it had regained its composure, before continuing to tell Bao Liang and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion the story of the Douluo Continent from tens of thousands of years ago.

"Tens of thousands of years ago, the primordial energy of heaven and earth was abundant, and the physical qualities and Soul Power of all creatures on Douluo Star were far stronger than they are now."

"This also led to a massive upheaval in the Soul Beast faction, whose innate physical strength and abundant Soul Power were immense; in addition, because it was the earliest era, the Soul Beast faction also had its own Emperor Auspicious Beast, the Holy Radiance Pegasus, and human civilization was on the verge of Destruction."

"But at that moment, fortune smiled upon us, and the First-Generation Angel God was born." The Plane Consciousness paused briefly, as if recalling a memory from ten thousand years ago.

"I have never forgotten that child; his face seems to be right before my eyes... He had beautiful blonde hair, an unparalleled face, a passionate and sincere heart, and unwavering perseverance."

"The Angel God Armor, with its dazzling golden gleam, seemed to be perfectly tailored to her body proportions. The bulging breastplate, the slender waist armor, the long, golden battle skirt about a foot and a half long, the rounded shoulder armor, and the other armor that perfectly enveloped her body, completely covering her."

"The angel brand on her forehead was encircled by a ring. In the very center of the ring, a angel-shaped gem shone brightly, with seven ripples forming a headdress resembling a princess's crown."

"Feather-like patterns spread across every part of the armor, and the six wings on its back were a brilliant, transparent gold. With a gentle vibration, golden ripples continuously spread outward from the child's body, and a pair of wings, like angel wings, unfolded from the hilt of the golden Angel Sword in its hand."

"The immense golden light that descended from the sky with the child's arrival emanated from the golden gem in the shape of a cherub at the center of the Angel Circlet on her forehead, as if announcing her arrival to the world."

"It was only after that child's arrival that humanity truly reclaimed a portion of their land, allowing them to recuperate and thrive."

"It's just that the child seems a bit slow-witted." A hint of bitterness crept into the voice of the Plane Consciousness.

"But that's still not enough." The Plane Consciousness suddenly changed its tone.

"Soul Beast thrive, while among humans, only a handful are truly capable of great use."

"So I secretly guided her, encouraging her to push her limits, to learn and discover new knowledge, and to record and promote it."

"Thus, as the First-Generation Angel God spread civilization and fought for humanity, he naturally gained the faith of the people and sounded the horn for a counterattack against the Soul Beast."

"Wait a minute!" the Three-Eyed Golden Lion suddenly spoke up, questioning, "Why have you been helping humans all this time? Aren't we Soul Beast also part of this Douluo Star?"

The Plane Consciousness stepped forward, wanting to touch the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's head to soothe its anger, but the Three-Eyed Golden Lion dodged it repeatedly.

The Plane Consciousness a pang of sadness and could only continue explaining, "I didn't only help humans, because the Emperor Auspicious Beast is also my child. I'm doing this to maintain the balance between humans and Soul Beast."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion didn't believe it at all. "You didn't think that because I, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, don't like to use my brain, you're using me as a prank on Xiong Jun, did you?"

"It's all talk and no action. You claim to maintain the balance between humans and Soul Beast, but in the end, aren't you just protecting humans? Humans aren't threatened by Heavenly Tribulation, and with your Plane Consciousness protecting us Soul Beast, how can we possibly have a chance to rise up?"

The Plane Consciousness glanced at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and instantly understood what she was thinking. It continued, "What I'm doing does indeed have a bias towards the human side, but it's also my way of maintaining the balance between humans and Soul Beast."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion scoffed, but a single sentence from the Plane Consciousness instantly stunned the little Auspicious Beast.

"Because tens of thousands of years ago, there was no threat of Heavenly Tribulation for Soul Beast, and even less so for humans."

"Huh?" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion and Bao Liang were both completely dumbfounded.

"Didn't Soul Beast from tens of thousands of years ago have Heavenly Tribulation? This is way too extreme!"

"That's why the First-Generation Angel God came into being." The Plane Consciousness shrugged, but the next second its tone was forlorn.

"Moreover, the Emperor Auspicious Beast, the Holy Radiance Pegasus, originally disliked war, but was merely caught up in the tide of events. The emergence of the First-Generation Angel God on the human side perfectly fits its reason for a ceasefire, which is also the beginning of the ending I wanted to arrange."

"But I never expected that the child would be so stubborn as to actually kill the then- Emperor Auspicious Beast beast, the Holy Radiance Pegasus."

"With the death of the Auspicious Beast, the fortune of the Soul Beast was severed, and that child, being the chosen one, naturally took over this fortune, causing humanity's fortune to flourish. Then, the Spirit Hall was established, officially initiating the conflict between humans and beasts."

"However, Auspicious Beast are protected by the world and by the heavens; anyone who harms or kills Auspicious Beast will surely be punished by heaven!"

"When Auspicious Beast falls, both those it protected and the environment suffer the punishment of diminished fortune!"

"Thus began the first significant decline in the physical attributes and Soul Power reserves of both humans and Soul Beast."

"So, this is why everyone and all the Soul Beast are so weak now, and why the Spirit Hall, as if it were getting its comeuppance ten thousand years ago, had a bunch of love-struck fools who squandered its entire fortune?" Bao Liang's lips twitched involuntarily.

"Yes and no."

"There are other reasons for this, which I will explain later," the Plane Consciousness said calmly.

"However, because the physical attributes of all people and Soul Beast were different tens of thousands of years ago, but the idea of First-Generation Angel God to crush all enemies with pure power may have been passed down due to the influence of bloodline, which is probably why the later Angel successors all like to confront people head-on."

At this point, even the Plane Consciousness itself felt somewhat speechless. An angel engaging in close combat with a human, even going head-to-head? Is there something wrong with its brain!

"However, other things did happen during this time."
