Summoning Millions of Gods Daily, My Strength Equals Theirs Combined Chapter 570 -570-Dark Abyss, the Schemes of a Mysterious Existence

The Chaos Abyss.

An enormous serpent, immense enough to eclipse the skies, twisted itself high over the chasm.

Down in the heart of that chasm, neither time nor space held any sway—only endless quiet and emptiness prevailed.

A Chaos Behemoth teetering on the edge of the Empyrean Sanctum lay sprawled amid the swirling shadows, as tame as a loyal companion.

This monstrous creature had nearly earned a place among the gods in the Pantheon long ago.

"Master, Empyrean Sanctum powerhouses have already begun to move."

The Chaos Behemoth announced in a hushed tone.

"Those entities from the Ancient and Primordial Epochs have emerged from the chaos poles. The Reincarnation Divine Court and the Starfont Divine Court have halted their battles. It looks like all eyes are on that hidden truth."

Amid the gloom, a form warped by countless dimensions shimmered faintly into view.

"Very good. My schemes across countless eons haven't gone to waste."

"Once this universe shatters, the Dark Abyss will emerge. Then, we simply bide our time for the reaping."

The Chaos Behemoth heard it all in silence, filled with inner reverence.

It was this enigmatic figure who first unveiled to the Starfont Divine Court and the Reincarnation Divine Court the truth that the Starborne Divine Court had erected the Twelvefold Aetherian Sanctuary to protect a world-shaking mystery—

None other than this shadowy presence!

And this same presence had scattered that mystery across the cosmos, igniting envy in innumerable beings!

"Master, this Crossbridge Empire appeared out of nowhere, and that emperor Aurek possesses unnatural might... Might he tie into that mystery?"

the Chaos Behemoth inquired with interest.

"This human, Aurek, has truly surpassed my calculations."

The voice replied deliberately. "Yet many foes itch to confront him."

Just the two Divine Courts wouldn't pose much threat. The real danger hid in those ancient traces at the chaos poles.

Should this clash grow from Divine Court strife into a cosmic war—or one spanning eras—

Heh... no amount of sage lord legions from the Crossbridge Empire could hold back the tidal wave of an age!

That Aurek harbored grand designs.

But dreaming of birthing a whole new era was nothing more than delusion.

The odds of ending up smashed to dust outweighed any shot at success by miles!

Unless he pierced into the Empyrean Sanctum, or went beyond it, his hopes remained a whisper.

Yet sadly, time had run out for him!

Moments later, the enigmatic voice echoed once more.

"You've lingered at quasi-Empyrean Sanctum far too long. I'll arrange for you to consume an Empyrean Sanctum powerhouse. Seize the moment to claim all he holds and ascend to the ultimate realm without delay."

"This round, Empyrean Sanctum powerhouses will step onto the battlefield themselves. It's a golden chance. Head down and ready yourself thoroughly."

The Chaos Behemoth brimmed with elation.

"Thank you, Master!"

"Oh, and one more thing—keep the Pantheon away from this area at all costs. Clear?"

The voice stressed sharply all of a sudden.

The Chaos Behemoth dipped its head in grave agreement.

In the blink of an eye, the colossal beast vanished, reappearing high over the Chaos Abyss.

From the pitch-black chasm, that voice whispered faintly.

"Dark Abyss..."

The true key to unlocking the path toward endless eternity lay hidden within the Dark Abyss itself!

...

Celestial Light God Realm, Supreme Sanctuary.

Imperial forces swept through the Star Sea in conquest, hauling in hundreds—or thousands—of trillions of Emperor Points each day, reaping massive rewards!

Aurek, meanwhile, burned through immense stores of Emperor Points daily, driving his strength to its peak.

Still, his rank lagged behind by a wide margin.

This hinged on the River of Fate—those ethereal forces towering over laws and structure.

Grasping and awakening to them formed the main barrier in his way.

That's why quasi-Empyrean Sanctum powerhouses dotted the Star Sea universe in such numbers.

This unassuming breakthrough actually spanned realms.

Much like how two dimensions couldn't grasp three, or three couldn't fathom four.

Even so, the steady drain of Emperor Points boosted Aurek's might without pause.

Should he spend every one of those tens of thousands of trillions of Emperor Points, his sheer force would match an Empyrean Sanctum powerhouse!

On top of that, he'd dispatched Golden Armor to the Sacredwood Settlement by the Forgotten River in the Styx Sector, hunting clues to the Dark Abyss's location.

Folks in Sacredwood Settlement had no idea where the Dark Abyss truly hid—that's what had Charlemagne so on edge.

Before long, Golden Armor came back.

"How did the investigation go?"

Golden Armor knelt and relayed, "I sent my teams on a thorough sweep, but nothing unusual turned up."

Aurek mulled it over briefly. "Then post guards there."

With no trouble stirring in the Styx Sector, the Empire stayed safe.

After all, even that ultimate power couldn't handle whatever lurked there. He doubted the Empire, as it stood now, could survive such a blow.

Once his power climbed high enough to face any threat, the seal's contents would cease to worry him.

Golden Armor went on, "Moreover, solid reports confirm that Empyrean Sanctum beings have taken the stage themselves, heading straight for the Empire."

"The Starfont Divine Court and the Reincarnation Divine Court appear to have forged a silent pact. Clashes on their borders have come to a halt."

"Stirring occurs among the Ancient Epoch and Primordial Epoch survivors at the chaos poles. The Chaos Epoch and Origin Epoch alien races keep their positions ambiguous."

"That said, I've placed agents to sneak in and probe the chaos poles. Innumerable buried truths there evade this era's sight."

"Empyrean Sanctums stepping in directly... the chaos poles..."

Aurek's eyes sharpened a touch.

Truths beyond this era's reach implied even the two Divine Courts grasped little.

In that case, the peril from the four enduring lines of the Ancient, Primordial, Chaos, and Origin Epochs dwarfed the Divine Courts' menace!

Regarding Empyrean Sanctum powerhouses joining the fray in person...

Aurek itched to witness it firsthand.

After all, once foes revealed themselves, striking them grew simpler!

If they skulked in the dark—like his attribute legions—unleashing shocks every so often, that would truly vex him.

"Dispatch commands to Apollo’s expeditionary army to quicken their advance."

Aurek commanded.

Golden Armor bowed in acceptance, then spun to leave.

Just then, Angie stepped into the chamber, cradling a glowing magic stone in her palms with deference.

"Your Majesty, this turned up as a surprise during the raid on the Oblivion Originkin. The Eternal Sunfire War God called it a supreme treasure of rare value."

A glow enveloped the holy magic stone, floating it toward Aurek.

"You may both withdraw for now."

Golden Armor and Angie bowed and stepped out.

The mirror-image avatar merged back with the primary form.

Aurek inspected the holy magic stone he held.

Cyan etchings and faint ancient runes covered its face, hard to make out, while the stone radiated a deeply enigmatic presence.

He channeled a wisp of origin into it, summoning the illusion of a star-disc.

Inside that star-disc, ancient runes crafted from Threads of Fate lit up at every spot, connected to the universe's rule wounds and the Threads of Fate.

This holy magic stone differed entirely from the one he'd claimed earlier from the giant elephant demon race.

The fate enigmas it concealed delved even deeper into the unknown.

As Aurek pushed toward the Empyrean Sanctum, his greatest need was insight into rank and fate's essence.

And this holy magic stone offered just the breakthrough he required.

With that in mind, he withdrew to the meditation chamber at the Divine Sanctuary's core, cycled his origin power, and delved into the holy magic stone—probing the Threads of Fate runes, their causal bonds, the heavenly laws and earthly principles, and the Threads of Fate.

Meanwhile, huge surges of Emperor Points kept pouring out without end, steadily elevating his strength.
