[Soul Warlock Authority elevated to Level 22...]

Reserves of Emperor Points remained plentiful beyond measure.
Without a second thought, Aurek pushed every one of the over a dozen special legions straight to Level 22 in a single go!
From now on, the Empire stood ready to produce hundreds of millions of super-soldiers daily, each matching the prowess of the Sage Lord realm!
What's more, Time Warlocks and Void Warlocks among them held the capability to challenge even Sage Masters!
Such a formidable base was bound to send shivers through either of the mighty Divine Courts.
No even a behemoth like a Divine Court could ever boast of churning out "hundreds of millions" of Sage Lord-level forces each day—not to mention those who mastered time and space laws!
At the legion scale, the Empire's superiority was now firmly locked in.
Yet Aurek understood perfectly: complacency had no place here.
The real danger loomed from realms far above.
Right now, what the Empire desperately needed was a deeper national bedrock—and... its ultimate pinnacle of battle might.
Through talks with that Heaven-Pillar deity, he had caught a mere glimpse of the supreme tier's horrors.
It wielded a fearsome force that spanned the endless Star Sea, wrecked the cosmos's very framework, and glimpsed fragments of time's eternal flow.
The Divine Courts harbored such entities. Deep within the Star Sea's shadows, they might lurk too.
But the Empire had none!
Just one Empyrean Sanctum could casually dismantle all his hard-won creations.
Looming beyond Empyrean Sanctum were the timeless Sage Kings—and levels beyond mortal comprehension!
This reality demanded he prepare with utmost diligence.
While honing his personal power amid the endless tide of Emperor Points, he directed his focus to the Divine Sanctuary's core—those timeless legacies of the Aetherian Sanctuary.
"Thousand Sword Judgement Domain," "Myriad Judgment Domain," "Dimensional Vista," "Creation Arts"...
He dove into secluded cultivation to master them.
Meanwhile, attribute legions across the Empire's expanse kicked into maximum operation.
With more than a dozen summoned branches hitting Sage Lord levels, vast hordes of Sage Lord fighters were forged at a breathtaking pace.
The sheer weight of this amassed might—when focused—left even Aurek sensing a subtle pressure.
He could only wonder at the cataclysm this force would unleash upon facing foes head-on!
...
Beyond the Styx Sector, along the Star Sea Boundary
A subtle world-gate flickered open without fanfare.
A handful of silhouettes emerged, each wrapped in gentle divine glow—they hailed from the Godblood Scion clan as elite powerhouses.
"Cross the Styx Sector up ahead, and we're in the Eastern Starfield."
"No point in cracking another world-gate—better not attract extra eyes."
The lead Godblood Scion gazed into the Star Sea's vastness.
"Out here in this forsaken corner of the stars, the universe's origin energy runs thin, and laws sit fractured. What sort of powerhouse could ever rise from such a wasteland?"
Next to him, a striking young man probed the ambient aura, his voice dripping with open scorn.
To him, this spot screamed utter desolation!
"No doubt, this backwater breeds no elite talents. That Crossbridge Empire probably got propped up by some shadowy backer to muster a force of that magnitude."
"But they've poked the hornet's nest this time—infuriating every major player in the Star Sea. Their days are numbered, I'd wager."
Yet another figure chimed in with pointed insight.
After all, fury from the two grand Divine Courts was boiling over, with experts from endless groups swarming in.
A mere nudge from any faction would suffice to rip this fledgling Empire to shreds.
"We'll judge for ourselves once we lay eyes on it."
The leader wrapped up the talk and ventured into the Star Sea ahead.
Journeying sans world-gates aimed to mask their path as much as possible, dodging the watchful gazes of rival forces also closing in—thus slipping into the Empire's domain undetected to uncover its secrets.
...
The Crystal Moonshine Hall
Aurek perched upon a hovering platform.
Before him, Gloria murmured her report, seeking guidance.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Academy's trainees have come of age. Shall we send them to assume roles in the Celestial Light God Realm?"
The Endless Continent had forever anchored the Empire's roots.
As imperial destiny swelled, the land itself kept evolving.
Aurek had seized the continent's core long ago. Upon reaching quasi-Empyrean Sanctum, its entire essence leaped to new heights, with laws and structures growing ever more flawless.
These days, even God General-realm talents emerged from its soil!
Even more jaw-dropping: among the masses, baseline cultivation hovered past God Fire, with ceilings climbing higher still.
As a pillar of the Empire, the Imperial Academy claimed the finest rare treasures; visits from Sage Master and Sage Lord luminaries for lessons were routine.
Its students were elite picks from the start.
This batch had all surged to Grand Divine Cleric and High God stages.
Sure, such tiers lagged far behind the Crossbridge Empire's current pace, but their training aimed never at battlefield fodder.
They served as the Empire's anchors—dispatched to rule seized territories!
Only under Crossbridge lineage's rule, with Eura's folk planting roots on a planet, could it fully join the Empire's domain.
"Summon them here," Aurek replied evenly. "Those worlds big and small spanning the star realms crave overseers too."
Truth be told, in his view, the Imperial Academy's mission peaked at this point.
With Eastern Starfield and Styx Sector secured, administration was essential.
These graduates fit the bill perfectly.
Regarding their power levels...
Aurek had refined Royal Grace to its peak, empowering him to bestow Domain Duke titles that let holders command a full world!
Given the Empire's surging fortune, a Domain Duke could tap might rivaling quasi-Empyrean Sanctum.
Pulling just thirty to fifty percent would grant Sage Master force—maybe a full-fledged one—plenty to safeguard their thrones.
His intent shaped decree after decree of Sacred Envoy, which he passed to Gloria.
Gloria received them reverently with both hands. She had witnessed such investiture edicts before.
"Let others handle the Imperial Academy. You head back to the Divine Sanctuary and manage operations."
Gloria inclined her head. "As you decree. I'll wrap up the transition upon return."
She swiftly traversed the Gold Giant Gate back to the Imperial Academy.
Immediately, she gathered the academy's top prospects.
Included were Vivian from the royal capital's Clover Auction House; Smith, heir to Steurn; plus scions and lineages from yielded clans.
Since the Crossbridge Empire's Star Sea debut, legacy nobles like Pud Royal House and House Tascher had garnered subtle favors.
Though Pud royals once clashed with the Empire, they tied to Empress Consort Belinda's lineage after all.
Bound to imperial fate, the nation's rise bolstered them, drawing quiet aid—in deference to the consort.
Aurek overlooked these undercurrents.
House Tascher needed no mention: patriarch Yule, hitched to the Crossbridge Empress's destiny, bathed in royal boons and had ascended to God General.
Gloria unrolled the Sacred Envoy decree.
Bursts of brilliant holy radiance cascaded into Smith, Vivian, and the rest.
Their presences exploded upward in frenzy.
That deep, boundless force caused every onlooker's eyes to widen in shock.
"S-Sage Master?!"
