Summoning Millions of Gods Daily, My Strength Equals Theirs Combined Chapter 555 -555-The Black-Skinned Giant—An Ancient Lineage

Leonel completely comprehended the shock on their faces and declared with gravity,

"There's absolutely no lie in this. Even more astonishing is that the Crossbridge Empire, under Emperor Aurek's rule, has only emerged in the last four or five years."

"And that Emperor himself, within just five years, ascended from a mere mortal to the quasi-Empyrean Sanctum realm."

"What?!"

"This can't be some kind of prank, right?"

The Silverstar God General exclaimed suddenly, his face stiffening in disbelief.

"Lo—Lord Leonel, please don't jest like this!"

War-God Nightingale chimed in just then.

He had previously battled against the Crossbridge Empire and possessed knowledge of their background.

Achieving such immense growth in merely four or five years—this defied all known limits. No such phenomenon had ever arisen in the entire Star Sea.

It was worth noting that the Starfont Divine Court had formed over hundreds of millions of years, built gradually over time.

And the era preceding that was shrouded in even greater mystery.

But this small Crossbridge Empire had somehow forged over a hundred million Sage Lord legions in only four or five years?!

Meanwhile, their Emperor had skyrocketed from mortal status to quasi-Empyrean Sanctum in an instant.

The whole tale felt like pure fantasy—especially since it concerned their adversary.

Who could possibly accept such a claim if spoken aloud?

The Starwatcher God-King furrowed his brows intensely.

Though he voiced no opinion, skepticism churned within him.

Were it not for Leonel's role as the Divine Court's chief inspector and vital court official, he might have thought Leonel compromised!

Simultaneously, he pondered inwardly: how could this be feasible?

Leonel paid no heed to the rest and directed his gaze solely toward the Starwatcher God-King, his equal.

"Your Highness, we cannot underestimate this Crossbridge Empire."

"I've informed you fully. Your Highness can now send agents to confirm and prepare strategies."

"Following this, the Sanctuary of Peace will deliver a comprehensive file to you."

He hesitated briefly.

"I need to rush back to the Star-Origin World and inform His Majesty the Saint-Emperor of these events."

The consequences were far too severe—surpassing the Sanctuary of Peace's ability to manage.

An immediate return to the Divine Court was essential to prevent further devastation.

Furthermore, the temple's explorers he sent out had already delved far into the Celestial Light God Realm—and even the Endless Continent—to probe deeply and gather the most thorough intelligence available.

Leonel promptly spun around and departed.

The Starwatcher God-King pondered quietly without challenging Leonel's statements.

He commanded War-God Nightingale:

"Heavenwolf will join me in the Eastern Starfield. You and Silverstar must secure this area!"

"Keep in mind: should any strange occurrences arise in the Eastern Starfield, I'll dispatch a messenger right away. Then, you'll activate the planar gate and advance without delay."

"Understood, Your Highness!"

War-God Nightingale, Silverstar God General, and the remaining leaders saluted with clasped fists in compliance.

The Starwatcher God-King gazed toward the distant reaches of the Star Sea, strode once, and disappeared into the vast starry void.

Regarding reinforcements and countermeasures against the Crossbridge Empire's Sage Lord legions...

With Leonel hastening back to the Divine Court, it fell to him to address those matters.

Word soon spread to the Styx Sector that forces from various Star Sea factions were flooding into the Celestial Light God Realm.

Inside Primordial Sword City, Alvin, Philip, Suggwoth, and their companions deliberated extensively.

"With the turmoil centered in the Eastern Starfield, the burden on Styx has eased somewhat."

Alvin examined the holographic star-map, focusing on the zone now drawing endless attention.

"Eternal Sunfire War God, head back to the Celestial Light God Realm immediately."

Having endured countless fierce clashes in the Chaos Ruins, Eternal Apollo Sunblaze's level had edged perilously close to quasi-Empyrean Sanctum; his actual battle prowess was utterly fearsome.

His presence upon return would suffice to ward off any lurking threats from opportunistic foes.

"The Empire... truly possesses Sage Lord legions?"

This query came from the Lord of the Blazing Eagle, laced with profound astonishment—and a hint of skepticism.

After all, "legion" suggested vast quantities!

The God of Wisdom, the War Executor, the Sage Master temple priests, and scores of veteran Sage Lords all turned their eyes to Alvin.

The revelation was utterly staggering. Verification was imperative.

Alvin offered a subtle smile. "His Majesty has already contacted me. Soon, some will arrive here."

"You'll witness for yourselves if it's real when they do."

Hiss...!

Gasps of disbelief echoed across the chamber.

Though Alvin avoided a direct reply, his demeanor conveyed the undeniable truth.

In bygone days, within the Celestial Light God Realm, a faction yielding even a handful of ancient Sage Lords was deemed a formidable powerhouse.

Yet now, the term "Sage Lord" appeared diminished beyond measure.

Only those who had attained that level knew the immense hurdles involved.

Thus, the astonishment gripping them was profound.

...

BOOM—!

In that instant, the whole Styx Sector trembled fiercely.

Concurrently, shakes rippled through the Eastern Starfield.

Turbulent fog billowed outward.

A colossal circular array—spanning tens of billions of kilometers—began to turn slowly in the emptiness.

Dense, surging Chaotic Origin power burst forth from the array's core.

And then—

Enormous hands emerged from the array's depths!

Grasping the borders of a fissure, those hands wrenched apart with brutal strength, slashing open a huge chaotic tear.

Moments later, a head thrust through the tear.

It belonged to a bald, cyclopean beast.

A thick chaotic tempest swirled around its skull; its lone eye swiftly fixed on the Celestial Light God Realm's location...

Rumble—!

The Eastern Starfield's celestial expanse shattered, unleashing savage tremors.

The tempest it unleashed pulverized worlds in its wake to powder.

In the Styx Sector, Suggwoth and his allies detected that horrifying presence simultaneously.

Alvin rose at once, a stellar compass whirling swiftly about him.

Shortly after, his countenance grew somber.

"The ancient lineages are here. The Empire confronts a crisis unlike any before!"

Eternal Apollo wasted no time—he morphed into a radiant Sunblessed Goldenflame Phoenix and warped straight to the Eastern Starfield.

"You're in charge here," Kaos stated gravely. "I must return too."

As ancient lineages emerged, the outlook turned dire.

...

Rumble!

Rumble...!

The upheavals intensified.

The cyclopean titan shoved its full form through the chaotic fissure.

This obsidian-hued colossus towered tens of billions of meters high—its frame sleek and barren, dominated by one massive eye that filled its visage.

Innumerable archaic shackles bound it. The chains' far ends vanished into the fissure's abyss, linked to unseen anchors.

Advancing, it pulverized countless stars underfoot.

Swathes of realms dissolved into oblivion with each tread.

Every stride unleashed cataclysmic ruin.

What trailed behind it slowly unveiled: a chaotic landmass resembling a immense leaf!

On the rift's opposite side, a matching obsidian titan hoisted the landmass's other edge, progressing in unison.

They traversed segments, then rent chaos anew.

Soon, they burst forth from another void pocket—working in harmony, inching ever nearer to the Celestial Light God Realm.

Inside the Celestial Light God Realm—

Certain powerhouses listed on the Star Sea's Demigod Throne had already spotted the disturbance far within the Star Sea.

As the cyclopean titan's silhouette came into view, numerous expressions shifted sharply.

"The Chaotic Demon Race—Aberrant Demons!"

The horned dragon elder's face hardened with caution as he pulled the silver-horned youth to safety behind him.

"Grandfather... are those the ancient lineages?" the youth inquired, glancing upward.

Judging by their aura, both obsidian titans were quasi-Empyrean Sanctum—exuding infinite, dread pressure.

The elder denied it. "They serve merely as slaves to the ancient lineages. The true lineage remains aboard that landmass."

The youth felt confused. "Are the ancient lineages truly so formidable?"

"With such dominating might, why have they lurked in the Chaotic Extremity all along, never challenging the two Divine Courts?"

The elder stared into the horizon, elucidating calmly.

"Ancient lineages stem from the prior epoch—known also as this Star Sea universe's primordial entities. They predate the Divine Courts, originating at the cosmos's dawn."

"These beings pursue power's absolute pinnacle. They've delved into life's primal mysteries, ultimately transforming into entities utterly alien to our kind."

"The universe's resources can no longer fuel their evolution. Thus, they retreated to the Chaotic Extremity's fringes to study the evolutionary paths of all life, hunting ways to shatter their own limits."

The youth absorbed his words, feeling a deep chill. "So... does that mean we're all just subjects in their observations?"

The elder's expression soured. He offered no affirmation or refutation to the youth's speculation.
