"I had thought... we still had time."
There was a hint of agony in Wu De's eyes.

Those Demonic Beasts…
Or more specifically the master of Dark Magic Power, were not planning to allow Gaia civilization to enter the second stage.
If he could control a strong race of Gaia with a "doppelganger" before the start of the second phase, and earn the recognition of the Human Alliance, he would effectively monopolize two civilizations.
Ultimately, his likelihood of becoming the worthy successor of the revered Star God would then be double that of other civilizations.
No!
Societal competition has never been utterly fair.
If the master of Dark Magic Power can control one Gaia civilization before the intervention of the Human Alliance, he could control the second or third, and even the tenth or twentieth civilization!
