Ten thousand years later, humanity gradually moved toward unification, while nuclear contamination grew increasingly severe. Humanity established the Blue Star Federation government and a system of governance assisted by super artificial intelligence.
Nuclear leaks caused widespread mutations among humans and animals. Mutated humans developed abnormal mental powers, and the most exceptional among them discovered the existence of the interlayer space. It contained vast stores of cultivation techniques and resources, and humanity gradually discovered veins of divine stone and blackstone as well. Some mutated plants and animals also entered the interlayer space. Mutated beasts absorbed divine stone and blackstone, breaking down reproductive barriers completely and giving rise to ever more ferocious beasts.
Humanity's living conditions grew harsher by the day. Scientists studied the cells and cores of mutated beasts, and combined their findings with research into the ancient civilizations of the interlayer to invent divine armor and sacred weapons for fighting the beasts.
Humanity discovered the ruins of the gods in the interlayer. It turned out that humans had originated in the First Era as creations of the gods, made to serve them in their activities. The gods perished in the Godfall War of the Fourth Era, after which humanity ruled Blue Star in the Fifth Era.
