Summoning Millions of Gods Daily, My Strength Equals Theirs Combined Chapter 579 -579-Crusader Goddess, the Sea God Temple Council
Previously on Summoning Millions of Gods Daily, My Strength Equals Theirs Combined...
A pristine white silhouette arrived in the Star Sea realm.
She appeared just like a ray of light that had plunged into the Star Sea.
Her soft glow drew the gaze of all, making it impossible to look away.
Resembling the Enchanting Goddess perched upon the Heaven-Pillar, she exuded a sacred allure that spanned countless eras.
Intelligence and elegance merged seamlessly, while gravity and grandeur blended perfectly in her form.
The Crusader Goddess needed only to stand in place, and she radiated a holy essence that etched itself eternally into the minds of all who beheld her!
This wasn't a facade she adopted—it flowed from her very core.
Yet, in sharp opposition, this flawless and exalted being was deeply skilled in warfare and the craft of rule, despite her looks suggesting more of a regal queen on her throne.
That serene poise, that clashing sensation which deterred direct stares while captivating the soul, all harmonized flawlessly within her.
The subtle aura of slaughter enveloping her cut sharper than the keenest edge or weapon!
Should the four so-called goddesses of the Elysium Starrealm appear before her, they'd resemble mere glow-worms in the face of the brilliant sun!
They didn't belong on the same plane whatsoever!
Crusader Goddess...
Joy surged within Aurek's chest.
A level-three Empyrean Sanctum powerhouse—this represented the Empire's ultimate hidden ace.
Feeling exceptionally pleased, Aurek arranged a sacred palace himself to serve as the Crusader Goddess's personal abode.
And right as the Crusader Goddess manifested—
the Enchanting Goddess atop the Heaven-Pillar abruptly opened her eyes.
The vapors drifting across her features dispersed in an instant, unveiling a stunning visage that could ensnare every sentient creature.
She directed her sight toward the Aetherian Sanctuary and issued a chilly huff.
It appeared she felt intense dissatisfaction.
Mily remained at her side with a vacant look, utterly oblivious to the events unfolding.
…
In the Eastern Starfield,
Alvin triggered a holy magic crystal, causing a full stellar-map fate-path chart to spread out in front of him.
A supreme presence emanated from his frame.
Illusory visions of the fate-path lines from the stellar map materialized around him.
He retrieved the pair of divine blood droplets and allowed them to drop onto the fate-path chart.
The lines began to rotate slowly, steadily drawing out the core vitality from the divine blood.
This marked his initial move!
…
Outside the Star Sea, an eerie calm was extending outward.
The vast cosmos of the myriad races split into multiple zones.
The domains of the Starfont Divine Court and the Samsara Divine Court were famed across existence as the Central Universe.
This area stood as the grandest and most thriving. Sectors like the Styx Sector, Eastern Starfield, Elysium Starrealm, and Annihilation Starfield all fell under its domain.
Deeper inside, one found the Endless Forest Sea, along with sites such as the Chaos Ruins, the Chaotic Abyss, and the Infinite Divine Domain.
Venturing even further, areas including the River of No Beginning, the Starry Realm, and the Four Symbols Secret Realm neighbored the Endless Forest Sea—and past them stretched the Chaos Singularity.
That realm belonged to the ancient behemoths from the prior four eras.
So, precisely where did the actual heart of the cosmos lie?
To regular mortals, no one could offer a precise reply.
However, those timeless ancients who had endured for endless years understood that certain locations, though outside the Central Universe, held mysteries surpassing it.
For instance, the Starry Realm.
The Starry Realm lay adjacent to the Endless Forest Sea.
And the primary grand temple of the Sea God Temple had been erected within the Starry Realm!
At that instant,
within the vast chamber of the Sea God Temple, every one of the hundreds of chairs was taken.
Sophia sat among the assembly!
Up front, four presences dominated the scene.
One was the Silver Gentleman, freshly roused from slumber.
In the exact middle sat an aged man adorned with a golden crown, his hair a cascade of gold, exuding a robust and authoritative air.
He served as the supreme head of the Sea God Temple’s central hall, the God of Myriad Star Seas, and a standby affiliate of the Pantheon.
His power neared the Empyrean Sanctum level without limit, placing him second on the Star Sea Demigod Throne List, trailing only the Dark Keep War God of the Samsara Divine Court.
Yet, thanks to the Pantheon's cosmic luck blessing, his odds of breakthrough exceeded even the Dark Keep War God’s.
The remaining pair were Empyrean Sanctum powerhouses honored by the Pantheon—the Adjudicator and the God of Order!
The hundreds gathered below consisted of hall leaders or chief overseers from the affiliate halls scattered through the diverse Star Sea territories.
All of them directed their attention to the quartet leading at the forefront.
The God of Myriad Star Seas addressed the group.
"This marks the first assembly in a million years where all have gathered in the central hall for deliberation."
He halted briefly, then pressed on.
"We have three issues to cover altogether."
"First, turmoil grips the Star Sea!"
"The Crossbridge Empire rose from obscurity, while the two mighty Divine Courts halted their clash partway. It's clear this upheaval will ripple through the entire cosmos of the myriad races. Should all-out conflict ignite, it could well disrupt the cosmic fortune upheld by the Pantheon."
"Second, the Pantheon roused Silver Gentleman and the rest. Their awakening aims to locate that object."
"And from the sequence of these turmoils, it's highly probable that it's the force orchestrating matters from the shadows."
At this point, a branch hall leader furrowed his brow.
"Lord Sea God, is that object truly so dreadful? Even the Pantheon can't track it down?"
The Adjudicator stepped in and disclosed certain concealed truths.
"It has concealed itself. Through a unique technique, it severed ties beyond the Star Sea. The Pantheon can't retrieve it, so we must devise means to lure it forth."
He stopped for a moment.
"Its actual shape is a fragment of oak twig. It arrived with that ultimate entity, but unlike the prior artifacts gathered in the Styx Sector, this differs markedly!"
"This oak twig slipped in unbeknownst to that entity. Legend holds it bore the plot of one once deemed a powerhouse by that entity. We must eradicate this danger."
The Adjudicator was far from commonplace.
He embodied a authentic sword-qi manifestation born from a lone thread of sword will abandoned by that ultimate entity, and he had gained direct counsel from it.
Unlike figures such as the Primordial Sword Lord, he was the real deal—a true sword-qi embodiment.
His role involved purging any peril to the Pantheon.
The term powerhouse sent shockwaves across the faces of every hall leader there.
A mere thread of sword-qi from an Empyrean Sanctum entity could birth a colossal form like the Adjudicator.
How immense, then, must the entity itself be?
They couldn't fathom it.
And what tier of being could earn the label powerhouse from such an existence?
Sophia absorbed each word without losing a beat.
This held immense weight for the Crossbridge Empire.
At minimum, she now grasped that another colossal menace lurked in the darkness.
"Your Excellency, how then do we detect it?"
Yet another branch hall overseer inquired.
The Adjudicator answered with solemn gravity.
"Should that oak twig fragment emerge, ripples in the life laws will stir within the Star Sea, and bizarre occurrences will spawn from the emptiness without cause."
"It pursues its own designs. When cosmic warfare erupts, it will surely reveal itself. Simply remain vigilant for these indicators."
The other hall leaders nodded in agreement successively.
The God of Myriad Star Seas then moved to the third topic.
"In the Chaos Singularity, the Tablet of Destiny has shifted. The former Storm Thunder God got displaced, and a fresh name now claims the pinnacle—Aurek!"
"The Tablet of Destiny?"
A few hall leaders appeared puzzled.
But certain veteran presences there had their faces alter in a flash.
Their eyes locked onto Sophia nearly simultaneously.
"The Tablet of Destiny is a sacred artifact that surfaced atop the Star Vault Tower at the birth of the Star Sea cosmos."
"Its origins remain unknown, yet it perceives the boundless universe entire. Whoever's name graces the Tablet of Destiny carries an unfathomable destiny."
"The Stellar Saint-Emperor and the Samsara Saint Emperor managed to close the Ancient Epoch and launch this present age solely because their names once figured at the Tablet of Destiny's base."
"Regarding the summit..."
The veteran hall leader speaking trailed off, yet all grasped his implication.
"Once Storm Thunder God fell from it, he promptly departed the Chaos Singularity and struck at the Crossbridge Empire."
Another elder presence murmured lowly, "It stemmed not from an urgent need to claim that Divine Court's mystery. Rather, he sought to slay Aurek and reclaim that exalted rank."
The Adjudicator, the God of Order, Silver Gentleman, and the rest all turned their sights to Sophia.
They had each observed firsthand the clash where Aurek felled Storm Thunder God, and they recognized Sophia's role.
The God of Myriad Star Seas cast a look at Sophia too, before proceeding.
"This signals that the Chaos Singularity and surrounding realms will all get pulled into the chaos. This unrest will prove more unpredictable than in eras past. All branch halls must uphold order."
All present nodded.
Yet Sophia plunged into profound reflection.
She perceived that the era-spanning survivors aimed at the Empire not merely over Beyoncé and the Aetherian Sanctuary.
It tied also to this Tablet of Destiny!
And beyond that...
it extended far beyond just those individuals.
