Chapter 1029: First Act Of Defiance After Rebirth
[57 Days Before The Awakening – Planet Juno – A Minute After Klaus’s Tribulation]
Planet Juno is a purple planet, approximately five times the size of Earth. It has three times the gravity of Earth, making every naturally born being three times stronger than beings on Earth.
On Planet Juno, every last being has metallic horns, long ears, crystal eyes, and colored hair, with the most prominent being purple.
Naturally, they are beings from the Venom Fang Race.
There are billions of them, with the majority at the Chaos stage. In fact, there are so many of them that when the planet suddenly started to shake, their shouts alone could be heard thousands of miles off-planet.
The planet that was supposed to be peaceful, considering they have a root in the Heavens Court, was no longer peaceful to the point that immortals in seclusion immediately came out.
The majority of these immortals are at the Immortal Emperor stage, with a few at the Immortal Monarch stage.
However, among these immortals, there was one, a lady with sharp features. She had brown hair and crystal eyes that showed signs of evolving into Jade Eyes.
She was the only Immortal Lord in Juno. She was someone sitting at the peak of the Immortal stage, and judging by the aura around her, she had been at the stage for millions of years already.
From the moment the planet began to shake, she emerged from seclusion and flew off the planet. The other immortals followed her.
They hovered over the planet and gazed at it.
“My Queen, what is happening?” an Immortal asked, looking at the trembling planet. Many had already passed out due to the violent shaking of the planet.
The Immortal Lord, who happened to be the Queen of the Venom Fang alien race, continued to look at the planet for a few minutes before a smile appeared on her face.
“When he is reborn, he will announce his presence by defying the Heavens. His presence will break all shackles and free those who believe in him.”
The Queen turned to her fellow immortals. “The Ancestor was right. I can now feel it. The shackles binding my cultivation are on the verge of breaking. I can finally reach the Demi-God stage in the next thousand years.”
The other immortals looked happy for her; however, a few of them couldn’t help but ponder the words she initially said.
“My Queen, who are you referring to?” one of them asked.
The Queen smiled. “Before the Ancestor left, she said one day, our saviour will be reborn, and when he does, all limitations weighing us down will be broken.”
“Are you saying the Paragon has awakened?”
“Yes. That is the only logical explanation there is. This also means we have to prepare. With his appearance, the Heavens will turn their claws on us. With this sigh, not even Aloy can help us.
I am afraid hard days are ahead of us.”
The immortals sighed. They knew of the legend between their kind and a Paragon. From what they knew, they once followed a Paragon, openly defying the Heavens.
They managed to evade extinction, but even so, they realized years ago that as long as one remained in Juno, the highest they could rise was Immortal Lord.
And for years now, aside from the Queen, many geniuses had been left to roam the world out there. They all knew it was a curse left by the Heavens as punishment.
Those who left could not return.
However, hearing that the curse was broken filled them with both happiness and danger. The Heavens wouldn’t let them rest, which meant they had to be ready to fight.
“Don’t worry. With the curse now broken, those on the outside will sense the change and return. But until they return, we must ensure the world is safe from all forms of danger.”
“We will do our best.”
The Queen nodded.
After two hours, the shaking stopped. However, despite things calming to a halt, every living soul on planet Juno was in great shock. They all demanded answers, but with nobody saying anything, they could only speculate.
However, they knew something significant had happened, and soon the results would start to show themselves.

All over the universe, worlds that had some form of relationship at one point in time with a Paragon all experienced the same thing that happened to Planet Juno.
Naturally, they all began gearing up for a great battle, one that they both knew would result in many deaths. However, as beings rejected by the Heavens, they knew there was no begging for mercy.
It would be a battle to the death.
However, with the few who still believed in the Paragon of the Nine Stars, no matter what, they wouldn’t falter, for they knew that one of these days, the one who dares rise against the Heavens would come and save them.

[Planet Baku – Panther Goddess Bast POV]
After sensing that her master had awakened several weeks ago. Panther Goddess Bast had started preparing for war.
In her eyes, the moment the red smoke was lit at the Court of Heavens, the war drums had been sounded, and the only thing left to do was prepare.
She alerted all 13 Beast Generals who once followed the Star Monarch. She visited all the secret agents lying in wait for when the Paragon of the Nine Stars would rise again.
One of them was the God Butcher, Gorr.
As beings that followed the Paragon at one point in his many lives, they knew the time to fight had come.
At that very moment, Panther Goddess Bast was seated in her throne room with her eyes closed. Seated not far from her right was a 40-year-old-looking man clad in white, tattered clothes.
His eyes are completely dark, and dark veins line his arm. In his firm grip was a black sword with a blade made from a material that seemed to move on its own. The man’s focus was on his sword as if they were having an intense communication.
This man was Gorr, the God Butcher.
Suddenly, Bast opened her eyes and let out a sigh.
Gorr looked at her and asked in a chilling tone, “Is it bad?”
“Very bad. It seems the master has defied the Heavens in a great way this time, so the Heavens are turning their gaze on the worlds that once followed him.
I am afraid many lives will be lost.”
Gorr, despite the cold look in his eyes, smiled. “It is only normal for lives to be lost in battle. However, I don’t believe the lives that will be lost will come from our side.”
Gorr stood up and sheathed the sword on his back. “You said it yourself. The Paragon of the Nine Stars has awakened. The True Paragon has awakened. Do you really think he hadn’t anticipated all this?”
Bast raised her brow. “Since when did you become a devoted scholar on the life of a Paragon?” Bast asked with a cheeky smile.
Gorr ignored her and started walking out of the hall. “Where are you going?”
“I am going to see my daughter. It has already been 450,000 years since we last spoke face-to-face.” With one quick step, Gorr was several miles away from Planet Baku.
Bast smirked and retrieved a crystal from her space ring, channeling her energy into it. She spoke into it before returning it to her space ring.
“God of Mischief, time for you to get to work.”
