Summoning Millions of Gods Daily, My Strength Equals Theirs Combined Chapter 567 -567-A Humiliation Beyond Measure

"Lord Leonel speaks the truth."

The Duke of Sacred Mountain, Maupassant, gave a nod of agreement and pressed on.

"Beyond everything else, the key element remains those ancient scions dwelling at the chaos poles!"

"For countless eras, they've concealed themselves within the chaos poles, yet now they've emerged to interfere directly. This situation runs far deeper than what meets the eye."

"Are you suggesting... the ancient scions harbor hidden intentions?"

The Eternal Radiance God King creased his brow and turned his gaze to the Stellar Saint-Emperor.

The Stellar Saint-Emperor showed no reaction.

No one grasped the ancient scions of the chaos poles as thoroughly as he.

Indeed, those primordial entities were the true forces maneuvering events from the shadows.

Once a cultivator attained Empyrean Sanctum, each additional breakthrough turned almost unattainable!

The bindings of this Star Sea universe acted like unbreakable chains of destiny, restraining all beings equally.

Achieving even one more level proved tougher than climbing to the heavens!

Yet every powerhouse yearned to rise higher among the Empyrean Sanctums.

Some even aimed for the Eternal Sage level, pushing toward that peerless and highest domain.

In bygone times, that ultimate being had wielded boundless might.

Her origins remained a mystery to all, but she had woven countless tales across history.

In almost every age, signs of her presence—or artifacts she left—surfaced repeatedly.

Particularly during the Origin Epoch, where remnants of ancient bloodlines had witnessed her firsthand!

Because of this, folks believed that even in the current era, she had hidden away a profound mystery.

A mystery that could unveil the stage surpassing Empyrean Sanctum.

He himself felt drawn to its allure.

Not to mention those ancient relics lurking in the chaos poles.

And right now, that mystery resided within the Crossbridge Empire!

Had Aurek already claimed it?

That explained why those entities preferred to observe from afar.

By subtly guiding events and compelling the mystery to surface, they could emerge and claim the prize themselves.

When the moment arrived, the Crossbridge Empire would inevitably crumble to dust.

The Starfont Divine Court wouldn't even need to deploy most of its forces.

Still, the danger posed by the Crossbridge Empire demanded swift elimination.

To prevent any lingering troubles, the Stellar Saint-Emperor issued orders right then.

Leonel would rally the powers across all starfields, while also redirecting the assault toward the Reincarnation Divine Court and pulling them into the chaos.

What awaited the Crossbridge Empire was the full might of the entire Star Sea universe!

...

"Did you catch the news? A new cosmic overlord has risen in the Eastern Starfield. It's set to take the place of the old Starborne Divine Court as the third Divine Court for the myriad races."

"Yeah, I've heard. The power is called the Crossbridge Empire, led by an emperor named Aurek!"

"I've got even spicier details—the Crossbridge Emperor erected his empire in merely five years. He himself surged to quasi-Empyrean Sanctum in that same span. During the latest clash in the Eastern Starfield, he cut down quasi-Empyrean Sanctum foes like mere beasts!"

"That's what I heard as well! The Crossbridge Emperor leads billions of sage lord legions, sweeping all before them!"

Sacred Mountain, the Primordial Starfield, the Fallen Divine Realm, the Elysium Star Realm, the Reincarnation Abyss, the Infinite Divine Realm...

As word of this spread far and wide, myriad powers in countless starfields burst into frenzy.

Survivors from the Eastern Starfield had carried back these tales.

Each piece of information brewed and expanded rapidly.

From grand overlords to common folk, all buzzed about Aurek and the Crossbridge Empire!

Plenty dismissed these wild tales as impossible fabrications.

A good number of explorers geared up to venture into the Eastern Starfield themselves for verification.

Rumors also swirled that Aurek had seized the secret the Starborne Divine Court had defended to the death—and that fueled his ascent.

They burned to uncover the truth behind it all.

...

The Infinite Divine Realm.

Buried deep in a murky swamp.

An timeless garden bloomed with vibrant greenery.

A striking young man alongside a sacred, stunningly gorgeous woman ventured into the swamp.

A magical array beneath their feet activated.

The pair entered the formation, traversing realm after realm in a blink.

They knew this magical array well and quickly navigated past the swamp into the ancient garden.

At the garden's heart rose a pristine stone pavilion.

Within the pavilion, two youthful figures with flowing white hair—exact twins in look—engaged in a chess match.

The young man and woman approached one side and waited in silence, holding their tongues.

After observing the game briefly, the woman extended her hand, shifted a queen piece, and placed it down gently.

Suddenly, the board sprang to life.

Then it shattered into swirling mists of black and white light, fading away gradually.

"You cheeky one..."

One of the white-haired youths raised his eyes to the woman.

The other white-haired figure dissolved into radiance and fused back into him—it was merely an illusionary form.

"Progenitor!"

The pair offered deep bows of respect.

"What brings you two to disturb me again this time?"

Despite the feigned scolding in his words, the white-haired youth grinned, obviously unbothered by his young charges.

The young man spoke up,

"Progenitor, we've located the heir of the Starborne Divine Court, and the Twelvefold Divine Sanctuaries have surfaced too. Will you still hold back from intervening?"

The white-haired youth gave a subtle smile. "Are you referring to the events unfolding in the Eastern Starfield?"

The young man dipped his head, showing no shock.

The white-haired youth they faced went by the name Dreamweaver, a supreme force from the Chaos Epoch in the Infinite Divine Realm!

A true Empyrean Sanctum powerhouse!

Events that had transpired couldn't escape his awareness.

The woman knit her brows and inquired, "That Aurek's ascent feels shrouded in too much enigma."

"In just four or five years, he climbed to quasi-Empyrean Sanctum and even assembled an empire boasting billions of sage lord legions. It's utterly unreal!"

"Progenitor, don't you ever wonder if he's already grasped that secret?"

"Hear me clearly—neither of you should involve yourselves in this matter."

Dreamweaver cautioned them sternly.

"This Star Sea universe holds far more layers than you imagine."

The two jolted in surprise but agreed with nods.

"That said..."

Dreamweaver peered outward.

"It might be high time for me to stretch my legs outside."

"Are you heading to the Eastern Starfield?"

the woman questioned.

Dreamweaver chuckled. "I'm off to catch up with some old acquaintances. They'll likely dive into the excitement as well."

The young man queried, "Progenitor, can that secret truly enable an Empyrean Sanctum to advance further?"

"And why did that supreme being pass the secret to the Starborne Divine Court originally? What was her true aim?"

"You're putting that to me—who could possibly know!?"

Dreamweaver's mind wandered to a far-off era.

"Regarding that secret... even the ancient scions likely comprehend just scraps of its truth."

He halted briefly.

"Yet it ties directly to her very being. By following her footsteps, perhaps the way forward reveals itself."

"That's the real fixation for those ancient ones."

He shifted his eyes away.

"Even so, this Aurek isn't some ordinary figure."

The young man inclined his head. "True, but Aurek's drawing way too much attention!"

"He's riled up the whole Star Sea universe this round. The Crossbridge Empire's days are numbered!"

"If Progenitor claims that secret, you'll definitely unlock the route to progress and ascend to Eternal Sage!"

Dreamweaver reined in his musings and eyed the young man.

He offered no further words.

To claim that secret, he'd need to eliminate Aurek.

As an Empyrean Sanctum, dispatching a quasi-Empyrean Sanctum ought to come easily.

But the two Divine Courts, the enduring lines from the four epochs, and fellow old titans of his caliber wouldn't sit idle.

That was the true calculus for beings like them.

And supposing he felled Aurek, how to extract the secret from him?

Thus, a personal visit was essential, with careful strategy for his next play.

He exited the swamp.

With him at the center, the fabric of space twisted and reformed, enveloping all three.

The next moment, they disappeared from sight.
