Summoning Millions of Gods Daily, My Strength Equals Theirs Combined Chapter 541 -541-The Stellar Saint-Emperor and the Aetherian Sanctuary

The real question weighing on Kaos's mind was whether the Crossbridge Empire truly possessed the guts to face the fury that could eventually cascade down from one of those gigantic powers, as Starfont Divine Court and the Divine Court of Reincarnation unleashed a torrent of flames in their fierce clash.

Aurek stood up gradually from his throne.

Right then, the emptiness behind him burst forth with countless dazzling rays. A mist of glowing splendor overflowed the whole Starvault Hall, transforming his outline into an enormous and regal figure—as if he embodied the essence of ruling authority in the flesh.

"This empire falls under my command,"

his tone stayed serene, but it held a firm, unyielding determination,

"and so its destiny is fated to blaze with unending glory—

not to crumble into lifeless embers."

His stare appeared capable of delving right into a spirit, hitting at the hidden truth Kaos had kept suppressed for ages.

Kaos stayed quiet for an extended period—so much so that the floating lights in the hall nearly came to a halt.

Finally, he inhaled deeply and replied in a subdued, even voice. "With Your Majesty's display of such determination and potential... I think it's the moment to unveil some truths long shrouded by age and obscurity."

Aurek displayed no astonishment. Merely the glow encircling him pulsed in a subtle, constant rhythm.

"Does it concern the history of the Stellar Divine Court?"

Kaos glanced over this ultimate Divine Sanctuary—a site both deeply known and oddly distant to him these days—and realized Aurek had already pieced together a great deal.

"Right. I served as the Chief Archivist in the Stellar Divine Court’s Starbrilliance Archive once. And Beyoncé—her actual self—is the final Saint-Emperor of the Stellar Divine Court: Luminous Empress Elithes."

His words carried a profound weight, like unfurling a timeless scroll forgotten for endless ages.

"The Stellar Divine Court emerged in the ancient times, back when the universe had barely separated and the rules of being were still taking shape. It ranks among the most ancient Divine Courts in the Star Sea Universe.

"Its legacy stretches back further than the Divine Court of Reincarnation or the Starfont Divine Court. At first, its purpose wasn't domination. It focused on watching and documenting—observing the universe's growth, cleansing the original chaos's stain, and drawing from that to affirm the Divine Court’s eternal destiny.

"Then, a disaster ravaged the multiverse. As the Stellar Divine Court teetered on ruin, an enigmatic ultimate being arrived."

"He rescued the Divine Court," Kaos went on, "and afterward proclaimed an unthinkable decree—ordering the Stellar Divine Court to devote all its resources to creating a Twelvefold Aetherian Sanctuary."

A spark of sacred illumination flickered in Aurek’s eyes. "Are you saying... this very sanctuary where we stand?"

"Precisely," Kaos affirmed, his manner assured. "The details that ultimate being provided were cloaked in prohibition and vagueness, yet Your Majesty appears to have grasped some insight from them."

"She viewed this Divine Sanctuary as something not meant for sheltering beings or flaunting power. It was designed to hold a secret capable of shaking the world. Thus, the whole Stellar Divine Court paused every other task, channeling the might of the entire realm—the abilities of all its masters—into building it."

Aurek inquired further, "Then the fall of the Stellar Divine Court was linked straight to this Divine Sanctuary?"

"Indeed... and not completely," Kaos responded, his face showing mixed emotions. "Legend holds that the very mystery contained in this sanctuary invited disaster upon it."

"The Divine Court of Reincarnation and the Starfont Divine Court, through sheer luck, caught partial clues about that mystery from a vastly old remnant—a lingering soul from bygone eras.

"Spurred by avarice and dread, they allied together. Assisted by that remnant, they waged battle against the Stellar Divine Court... and ultimately, the Divine Court fell."

Silence fell as Kaos uttered the following words, each one burdened by the heaviness of unchangeable past events.

"Her Majesty alone held the full knowledge of the secret. To prevent it from reaching foes, she took a monumental choice: she triggered Nirvanic Annihilation on her own Origin—wiping out her core existence, locking away both recollection and essence, allowing rebirth in utter innocence akin to a phoenix rising anew from flames."

"Upon rebirth, she emerged as a child—Beyoncé."

"As for me," Kaos murmured, tone hushed, "I received orders to spirit her away and hide our identities. In the end, through endless twists and paths, we arrived at the border of the Abyssal Demon Realm. We've lingered there ever since—awaiting the destined leader, the one foretold by the Divine Sanctuary to appear."

Aurek absorbed it all, a mix of astonishment and inquiries twisting inside him.

He wasn't prone to overconfidence, but the hint in Kaos’s revelation—this "prophesied leader"—seemed to indicate him with eerie precision.

The feeling was intensely odd, like a grand, timeless tale had abruptly gripped him and pulled him into its swirling heart.

Yet one fact stood irrefutable now: this Divine Sanctuary indeed hid a mystery so profound it concerned even an ultimate being—so crucial that a Saint-Emperor chose to forsake all for its safeguard.

This clarified why, despite nearing a quasi-Empyrean Sanctum, Aurek couldn't fully sense the sanctuary’s deepest essence.

Kaos’s disclosure resolved numerous persistent enigmas.

This Divine Sanctuary bore no connection to any supposed Sage-King craftsman or the Giant Elephant Demon Race from ancient myths.

It likewise explained Kaos's decision to support the formerly modest Crossbridge Empire over aligning with another major power.

And that wise figure who had dwelt in isolation on the Golden Feather Plateau in the Demon Realm... probably sought signs of Beyoncé.

Even how the Primordial Giants discovered the Celestial Light God Realm could tie back to her.

On a profounder note, Kaos’s prior question—about the empire's ability to rival a Divine Court—now showed its actual intent.

Aurek sank into quiet reflection.

Were it a typical mystery, he might have seen it as simple information.

But this one—this struck right at his core. And that shifted the entire picture.

Given his present role and his empire's position, any old scheme centering on him could unleash unforeseen dangers.

Still, fear didn't grip him much.

With the empire already confronting Divine Court–level forces directly, there was no cause to dread scrutiny—or the conflicts it might spark.

The pressing need was to absorb their triumphs and build greater power, be it through Emperor Points or grasping higher cosmic principles.

Kaos proceeded to detail further ancient rivalries and hidden ties between the three mighty Divine Courts, then set off toward the Styx Sector.

His choice to disclose the reality at this juncture stemmed from a mounting intuition—one intensifying daily.

Aurek Veynar... this individual was almost certainly the one the Divine Sanctuary had anticipated for so long.

And exactly for that reason, Kaos ventured to share the facts, unafraid it would endanger Beyoncé—or his own safety.

"A supreme existence..."

Positioned in the grand hall, Aurek raised his sight, as if his vision could breach the Divine Sanctuary's ceiling and extend into the infinite void of the stars above.

From Alvin's earlier account, that elusive ultimate being had marked his presence in myriad realms.

He had inscribed the God Mountain royal court's mark in the Celestial Light God Realm, deposited clues in the Eternal Winter Divine Empire, and apparently spread effects in the Styx Sector too...

From whence did he originate?

To where did he vanish?

Did he intervene to protect the secret inside the Divine Sanctuary?

Or was it simply the caprice of a transcendent force roaming the multiverse?

Yet from Aurek's vantage, he leaned toward dismissing so many random events.

Particularly after Kaos’s unveiling.

This Divine Sanctuary had endured—awaiting its rightful owner.

And should the awaited one prove to be him... then what significance, what chain of cause and effect, remained concealed within?

Countless queries pressed upon his thoughts.

If his arrival had been anticipated ages ago... what about the system?
