Emperor Rael had been having a bad day.
The resistance of the Panamic Alliance had been crumbling under the mounting pressure from the true world. The countless forces that had begun converging upon the Panama Continent had truly been overwhelming for human civilization. Despite having collectivized all Martial Sages and an increasing share of the Martial Master population, they had been simply unable to halt the invasions of the true world.
He had tried everything he could think of, from rationing his Martial Sages to using Silas Clan’s prophecy to concentrate them all at once in certain places, to relying on divide and conquer. He had tried leveraging newfound alliances and pushing, squeezing everything he had.
And yet, it proved to be insufficient.
A heavy fact that could not be escaped was the fact that human civilization was simply not strong enough to deal with the full pressure of the true world. Perhaps if not for the fact that the entirety of the true world’s greed for the exotic treasures of the continent, they might have been able to forge enough of a deterrence against the Panama Continent.
However, the fact of the matter was that the true world was simply far too strong and far too driven to get their hands on the treasures of the Panamic Continent.
He had been so drowned in his troubles as the supreme commander of the Panamic Alliance that he actually forgot.
He actually forgot about Rui’s impending return.
That was why his stressed eyes flew wide open when he received the message reporting Rui’s awakening.
“Rui is awake…?” The Emperor’s tone was moved.
Stunned.
And yet, what followed only stunned him even more.
RUMBLE…
The world quivered as a gentle wave of water encompassed the entire nation warmly in its protective grasp.
It was reassuring.
Soothing.
He got up, walking over and gazing out his window as he could hear waves of cheers and rejoice outside of the Vargard Palace, as the citizens grew louder in their ecstasy upon being brushed by Rui’s powerful Embodiment.
It announced to the world that he had returned.
The Emperor of Harmony smiled bittersweetly.
On one hand, he was happy to see that his son had awakened after a long and well-deserved bout of rest.
On the other hand, he was melancholic about the fact that he had woken in time only to witness the probable defeat of the Panama Continent. At this point in time, no matter how strong Rui personally was, the Emperor of Harmony didn’t think his additional presence would be able to fix the sheer scale of the problem they were in right now.
This wasn’t something that a single warrior could fix simply because the scope of the problem was strategic and continent-wide. No matter how strong and dominant Rui was on one battlefield, there were simply too many battlefields that they were losing.
And yet, nonetheless, having his son on their side was reassuring.
What followed, however, shook him to his very core.
What followed exceeded his wildest imagination.

RUMBLE
His eyes widened with shock as he froze where he stood.
In that moment, everything clicked as his sharp mind put two and two together.
“It was you…” He realized with a shocked expression. “It was you who stopped the Beast Incursion…!”
A mystery they never quite resolved was where the final roar to halt the Beast Incursion had come from. The eldritch chimera was supposed to be dead by the time the Unfolding took place.
However, the fact of the matter was that everyone had heard a roar minutes after the Unfolding that caused the Beast Incursion to halt. Not a single person, not even the Transcendent Candidates, had been able to offer an explanation as to what had happened.
And now, they knew.
It was Rui.
It had been Rui all along.
RUMBLE!!!
The world shook.
It shook violently as the Beast Excursion commenced. The Emperor of Harmony widened his eyes with shock as a maelstrom of emergency reports detailing a very familiar behavior pattern among the beasts and monsters in human civilization.
The Emperor of Harmony gritted his teeth with grave severity as the sheer gravity of the situation heightened to its very worst.
Both the Beast Incursion and the true world invasion were bad enough separately, but if human civilization had to deal with both simultaneously, then they were doomed to absolute and complete destruction with no hope whatsoever.
He didn’t realize just what was happening, what his son was doing, until a flood of emergency reports detailing the abnormal direction of the Beast Excursion.
[Long-range surveillance observes the beast tides avoiding all human targets.]
[Seventy-two true world colonies have been attacked by the beast tides.]
[Beast tides reinforcing Martial Artists in battlefields all across the exteriors of the continent.]
[Satellite surveillance indicates beast tides targeting true world colonies.]
It was only then that the Emperor of Harmony truly understood what was happening.
His son hadn’t just gained the power to ‘switch off’ and ‘switch on’ the Beast Incursion, he had gained complete control over the Beast Domain. Chills crawled across his skin at the sheer amount of power that one man controlled, the sheer amount of leverage that controlling the beast domain gave him over human civilization.
If it had been in the hands of anybody else, he would have considered it to be a grave threat.
Yet, in the hands of his son, it was different.
It was a boon that could save their civilization from complete destruction.
RUMBLE!!!
He staggered unsteadily as another wave of seismic radiation swept over the entire continent, along with a different sound.
The sound of a serpent hissing.
He didn’t know what it meant.
What he did know was that with the return of his son and the unfathomable power of the Beast Domain at his command, they had regained hope.
They had regained hope against the true world.
BANG
His doors blasted open as the Director of Intelligence emerged with an aghast expression.
“Your Majesty!” he cried to him. “It’s the Great Nam Ocean, your Majesty! The ocean! It has… gone mad! It has gone completely mad!”
