Jacob was deep in thought after Nyx successfully entered the Virtual Star World as a 3-star privilege user. Although her main body was still inside the Dreamscape Nightmare Realm, she could still be awake at a moment's notice. She was in the same state as Jacob.
But Jacob was waiting for her return to find the result of her discoveries. After all, the main reason he allowed her to enter the Virtual Star World was because he wanted to know if she could steal lifespan through it.
Furthermore, he was also thinking about his discoveries regarding the Soul Star Watch, and now he was planning to get his hands on the Star Network's data.
'The only way to get my hands on their weakness is through the Star Hackers. But those guys are part of the hourglass organization. I'm still unclear if the Star Hackers or those hourglass freaks are the real ATLAS or its branches.
'But from my encounters with them to this day and that encountered before leaving the Unique Plains, ATLAS is even infamous among the upper plains, and they seemed to have background relating to Dark Beings, and even the likes of 'Demons' are involved.
'It's time I start paying more attention and spending time on Dark Beings, and Nightmare Sepsis Fruit will be beneficial in this regard. I need to wait for Autarch and Elia to finish their evolution before I move out…'
As Jacob was planning, his eyes flickered with surprise when he sensed a foreign yet profound power suddenly surfaced around him. Because of his soul totem, Jacob was extremely sensitive towards Laws, and this new power was far more profound than all the law powers he currently possessed, giving him a deep sense of threat.
Jacob looked towards the ceiling, and his eyes contorted into beams as he sensed power originated from outside.
Without hesitation, Jacob vanished from inside the palace, and the next moment, he appeared above outside the palace, hovering in the air while his eyes were affixed to the sky.
The skies of the Legendary Plains were unlike anything imaginable, an intricate tapestry of endless wonders because of the uniqueness of this world.
Rolling nebulae flowed like rivers of liquid starlight, their hues shifting in harmonious crimson, violet, and sapphire waves. Constellations danced across the expanse, their stars so vivid they seemed within reach, casting long shadows over the terrains.
Bands of cosmic light marked the edges of hidden dimensions, shimmering like divine bridges between planes. Above, the firmament folded endlessly upon itself, a spiraling kaleidoscope of stars. That's why there were different numbers of suns and moons throughout the lands.
Some regions flickered with mirage-like translucence, where the boundaries between planes shimmered like molten glass. It was a sky of boundless infinity, alive with the echo of creation itself, especially if someone was looking while in the Star Ocean.
That's why it was almost impossible to create star charts, and because of this phenomenon, the birth of Elemental Planets and Galaxies and even unique treasures were made possible.
Anyhow, Jacob wasn't admiring these phenomenal skies; instead, at this moment, without warning, the sky of the Great Cosmic Continent of Scorpio underwent a profound transformation.
The stellar tapestry dimmed momentarily, and then a brilliant, crimson radiance erupted, overtaking the celestial expanse. The next moment, the symbol of Scorpio, a majestic scorpion with its tail arched and stinger poised, emerged like the sun. Its glow was profound, pulsing with waves of profound primordial energy.
It was visible throughout the Great Cosmic Continent of Scorpio, and some people even prostrated themselves as if acknowledging it as a divine arrival.
This light swept over the continent in all directions, yet it bore no ill will to the natives of the Great Cosmic Continent of Scorpio. Instead, it brought a sense of tranquility and protection.
However, the rampaging Zodiac Beasts—creatures born of the void—screamed in agony altogether as if suddenly exposed to acid. Their shadowy forms ignited under the light, their dark essence unable to withstand the scorpion's divine brilliance.
Some instantly dissolved into ash, while others fled in a chaotic stampede, vanishing into the void from whence they came.
Moreover, unbeknownst to the natives of the Great Cosmic Continent of Scorpio, the phenomenon wasn't isolated to just their lands. Across the other eleven Great Cosmic Continents, similar scenes unfolded. Each sky bore a unique radiance as the corresponding Zodiac symbols manifested according to the representative continent.

The symbol of Aries shone in a fierce golden hue, its flames scorching the beasts into oblivion.
The Taurus emerged in radiant emerald, shaking the ground with its stabilizing power.
The Gemini projected twin beams of silver light, severing the Zodiac Beasts' connection to the void.
The Cancer cast a shimmering azure shield, driving the invaders back with relentless force.
The Leo roared in incandescent light, disintegrating its foes with solar fury.
The Virgo, veiled in ethereal lavender, wove threads of sealing magic, ensnaring and banishing the beasts.
The Libra radiated perfect balance, neutralizing the beasts' chaotic energy.
The Sagittarius unleashed fiery arrows, piercing the beasts and obliterating their essence.
The Capricorn unleashed torrents of lightning, leaving no trace of its enemies.
The Aquarius cascaded torrents of celestial water, washing away the void's corruption.
The Pisces swirled in a vortex of temporal energy, erasing the beasts from existence.
Within moments, the skies of all twelve continents shimmered in cosmic brilliance, each symbol contributing its might to purge the Zodiac Beasts, which was an apocalypse for the Zodiac Beasts while a celestial miracle for the legendary plains, unique and first of its kind.
As the last Zodiac Beasts vanished or perished, the twelve radiant symbols synchronized in the heavens. Together, they formed a massive, neon seal spanning the horizon of the Legendary Plains. This seal pulsated with a rhythmic energy that seemed to resonate with the universe's heartbeat.
Slowly, the symbols dimmed and faded, leaving the sky again as the boundless tapestry of stars and cosmic phenomena.
Yet their disappearance could not erase the miracle witnessed. The Zodiac Beasts, who had been on a rampage for centuries, were gone, their rampage quelled, and peace was restored to the Legendary Plains within a matter of a few moments.
It was as though nothing had happened, save for the absence of destruction and chaos, a silent testament to the profound power of the Zodiac!
But for Jacob, it was a ghastly reminder that despite his current prowess and knowledge, he was still nothing in the grand schemes of things, and he remained in his position for a very long time, ignoring the resonating cheers throughout the Myriad Galaxy City, his thoughts tumultuous!
