# Chapter 376: The Power of Stellar Laws

Beast Domain, Savage Star.

It was an enormous rocky planet whose architecture bore no resemblance to that of the Mechanical Race or Human Race. The buildings here were far more rugged, with spiked protrusions coiling atop their roofs and walls hewn entirely from pale gray stone.

At Savage Star's teleportation plaza, two Beast Race War Gods—Jinka and Yingu—were already waiting.

Just then, white light flashed from the highest teleportation gate, and Lu Yuan and Nuxing stepped through.

Jinka and Yingu hurried forward to greet them. Jinka was the first to speak, a broad smile on his face.

"Brother Lu Yuan, Brother Nuxing—welcome!"

Yingu smoothed his silver fur and nodded to the pair, baring his gleaming white teeth in a grin.

"Welcome, both of you!"

Nuxing smiled. "We already reached out ahead of time. We're here to help you deal with the Aberrant Beast Nest."

"We really appreciate it," Jinka said gratefully.

"I'm just here to assist. Lu Yuan's the one doing the heavy lifting."

Lu Yuan grinned. "Shouldn't be too difficult."

Yingu let out a sigh. "We've been searching for the Aberrant Beast Nest's headquarters for ages without any luck. We're counting on you, Brother Lu Yuan."

"When do we start?" Jinka asked, looking at Lu Yuan.

The Beast Race was nothing like the Mechanical Race—they were far more direct. Since Lu Yuan had come to help deal with the Aberrant Beast Nest, they wasted little time on pleasantries. Both Jinka and Yingu looked eager to see Lu Yuan in action.

The sooner, the better, it seemed.

Lu Yuan had no objections. He smiled. "Let's start now. The sooner we begin, the sooner we finish."

"Then we'll leave it to you!"

Both Jinka and Yingu watched Lu Yuan with anticipation.

Lu Yuan nodded, then vanished from where he stood and reappeared in the vacuum of space.

Jinka, Yingu, and Nuxing followed, watching him closely.

Floating in the void, Lu Yuan gently closed his eyes. An overwhelmingly powerful aura radiated outward from his body.

The moment Jinka and Yingu sensed it, their eyes went wide and they stumbled backward. Every strand of Yingu's fur bristled on end.

They stared at Lu Yuan, horror etched across their faces.

Jinka couldn't help crying out, "This aura... what is this?! How can it be so terrifying?!"

Yingu gaped at Lu Yuan, whose body shimmered with hazy starlight. "A few days ago in the Upper Layer of the Land of Origin, I could already feel how strong he was—but this is on an entirely different level. How could he have grown so much?! Back in the Mechanical Kingdom, his aura was nowhere near this."

Seeing the two Beast Race War Gods in shock, Nuxing couldn't suppress a swell of pride.

He chuckled. "Forgot to mention—Lu Yuan has fully comprehended Stellar Laws. He's broken through to Laws Rank."

"Laws Rank?!"

Jinka and Yingu were struck speechless.

While the three of them talked, Lu Yuan was already searching for the Aberrant Beast Nest's headquarters.

Before, he would have needed Fortune Pathfinding and several days to locate it. But after comprehending Stellar Laws, things had become far simpler.

With Stellar Laws, anywhere a star existed was his domain. He could effortlessly perceive the conditions of any stellar region.

In other words, the entire universe was his domain.

This was Laws Rank—an entirely different concept from anything below it. Utterly terrifying.

And this was merely one application of Stellar Laws. A casual attack using Stellar Laws would surpass any Divine Grade Combat Technique he'd wielded before. Beyond that, he could merge stellar power directly into his body, making him virtually invincible throughout the cosmos.

Before long, Lu Yuan "saw" through the stars a desolate region where a pale gray planet drifted aimlessly.

On the surface, it appeared completely ordinary.

But through Lu Yuan's eyes, wisps of eerie green mist coiled across the planet—deeply sinister.

His eyes snapped open, a cold smile forming. "Found it."

Jinka and Yingu, still reeling from the revelation of his breakthrough, jolted back to attention.

They stared at him, wide-eyed.

"Already?!" Jinka blurted.

It hadn't even been a minute. How could he have found it so quickly? When Lu Yuan had searched for the Blood of Machinery back in the Mechanical Kingdom, it had taken him several days.

Lu Yuan smiled. "With Stellar Laws, finding anomalies among the stars is simple."

Jinka and Yingu blinked. They didn't entirely follow the logic, but it sounded reasonable enough.

"I'll take you there," Lu Yuan said.

They snapped out of their daze. Jinka nodded eagerly. "Please!"

Stellar radiance flowed around Lu Yuan, enveloping all four of them before they vanished from the spot.

Wherever starlight reached, Lu Yuan could move freely with his Stellar Laws.

In the next instant, he and the other three arrived at the desolate star region.

Looking at the pale gray planet in the distance, Jinka frowned. "Brother Lu Yuan, are you saying this is the Aberrant Beast Nest's headquarters?"

Lu Yuan nodded. "That's right."

Yingu hesitated. "...But I can't sense any Aberration aura."

It wasn't just Jinka and Yingu—even Nuxing was puzzled. "He's right. There doesn't seem to be any."

Lu Yuan smiled. "They've used some method to conceal it."

As he spoke, he pointed a single finger. Space warped around the pale planet. It looked no different than before, yet a horrifying Aberration aura now poured forth.

That dreadful aura, saturated with Corruption, set all three War Gods on edge. They tensed, eyes fixed on the planet.

"It really is here!"

Sensing that overwhelming presence, Jinka and Yingu harbored no further doubts.

Yet Lu Yuan furrowed his brow, studying the planet with a puzzled expression.

"What's wrong?" Nuxing noticed his look and asked.

Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow. "Something's off. There are no War God-level beings on this planet. The Aberrant Beast Nest originally had four War Gods. We killed two of them in the Land of Origin last time, so there should still be two remaining—yet neither one is here."

Jinka and Yingu both turned toward the pale planet. Logically, a headquarters should have at least one War God standing guard. How could there be none?

Yingu couldn't help speaking up. "Could it be that when that bastard Lanli died, Meihong noticed something was wrong and fled?"

Lu Yuan frowned slightly and nodded. "It's possible."

Seven days inside the Land of Origin amounted to only half a day in real time, yet these people had reacted with surprising speed. Something about it nagged at him.

"So what do we do?" Jinka asked, worry in his eyes.

If they couldn't find those two Aberrant Beast War Gods, destroying the headquarters would be meaningless—the enemy would simply build another one. It would be treating the symptom, not the disease.

Lu Yuan smiled. "No worries. I'll just search again."

For him, it was merely a minor inconvenience, not a real challenge. He closed his eyes once more. Under Stellar Laws, his perception spanned the entire universe as he filtered for regions where the two Aberrant Beast Race War Gods might be hiding.

Soon, his eyes opened again, cold light gleaming within them.

"Found them."

"Where?" All three looked at him.

A smirk tugged at the corner of Lu Yuan's mouth. "The Elf Race's territory. Seems they've given me an unexpected surprise."

His words caught the three off guard.

"Surprise? What surprise?" Nuxing looked at him quizzically.

Lu Yuan didn't answer, only smiled. "You'll see soon enough."

"Then why are we still standing here? Let's go!" Yingu was eager to move.

"Wait." Jinka turned toward the massive pale planet in the distance.

Spirit Power surged around him, golden light flickering to life. In the next instant, a devastating beam of golden radiance shot forth and pierced clean through the planet.

**Boom—**

The pale planet shattered into stardust.

Lu Yuan gave a casual wave. The stardust froze in place, ceased its expansion, and began slowly drawing inward. Then Radiant Fire blazed forth, purifying every last trace of the Aberration aura.

Watching this, Jinka flicked his forked tongue. "Thank you, Brother Lu Yuan. Without that, the Aberration aura would have corrupted this entire star region. It would've taken ages to cleanse naturally."

Lu Yuan smiled. "Since I took on this task, it's only right. Let's go—to the Elf Race."

Starlight flashed, and the four of them vanished.

Elf Domain.

In a field of asteroids, an immense palace sat upon one unremarkable rock among many.

Meihong—blood-red fur, four tails—and a massive white-furred lion were descending slowly to the surface. On the lion's back rested an enormous egg, its surface oozing green slime.

The lion trembled violently, as though bearing an immense weight beyond the physical.

Before the palace gates, the Elf Race's War Gods awaited them—Spark of the Stone Spirit Race, alongside a Gold Elf composed of gray metal and an Ice Elf formed of crystallized ice.

After Meihong and the white lion landed, the three Elf Race War Gods rushed forward and bowed reverently before the slime-covered egg.

Only then did the Gold Elf turn to Meihong. "Let us bring My Lord inside the palace."

Meihong nodded, then spoke with a grim expression. "We don't have much time. Lanli and Heiming are dead, and those Spatial Rifts were sealed far too quickly. There must have been an extraordinarily powerful being there—very likely the same Human Race War God who killed the King of Flesh. It may not be long before he comes looking for us."

The Gold Elf's eyes flickered before he offered a reassuring smile. "We should still have some time. After all, this place isn't easy to find."

Meihong gave a slight nod, not disagreeing.

She watched the white lion tremble its way into the palace behind Spark, the slime-covered egg rocking on its back, and spoke again. "Our God ordered both Lords' Descended Avatars to converge. I can't imagine why. Could it be that he wants both Lords to join forces against the Human Race War God who destroyed the King of Flesh? Does our God truly consider that human such a threat?"
