Summoning Millions of Gods Daily, My Strength Equals Theirs Combined Chapter 603 -603-Master of the Cursed Sword, Holy Emperor of Light

In the heart of the Cursed Sword Sea, a gray-robed figure with loose-flowing hair remained seated in a cross-legged pose.

Below him rose a crimson dais, carved with timeless symbols.

Those symbols inhaled and exhaled at a steady rhythm, each cycle making the nearby ocean of blades hum in perfect sync.

A silhouette approached the dais, encircled by twenty-four deadly sword apparitions.

That silhouette belonged to David.

He offered a deep bow to the central robed man on the dais, presenting the freshly recovered Cursed Sword grasped firmly in his hands.

Clang—!

The Cursed Sword appeared to detect its owner's aura. It unleashed a sharp chime, lifting off into the sky and darting back toward the turbulent Cursed Sword Sea, finally resuming its destined position.

At that very moment—

The whole sword ocean surged with power!

Countless blades all at once released boundless murderous aura, flowing together like streams joining the sea, fusing right away into the homecoming Cursed Sword.

The sword's forging reached its ultimate phase!

A ray of brilliance shot from the seated man, landing upon the Cursed Sword.

He inspected the mark on the edge—a damage caused by Suggwoth's blow.

Next, his gaze shifted to David, and then he blended straight into the Cursed Sword.

David bowed his head accordingly.

"This sword was under the control of one of Aurek’s generals. When I retrieved it, he inflicted this wound."

"No wonder."

A chilling tone laced with deadly menace reverberated through the sword ocean.

Even without stirring, the seated man's mental force permeated every corner.

David inquired with some uncertainty,

"Mentor, Aurek... does he really have that much potential?"

"To be sensed by the Tablet of Destiny, and appear at the very pinnacle, suppressing nine positions below—"

The deadly tone proceeded unhurriedly,

"His fortune is unprecedented. Most cannot hope to kill him easily."

"Now that all the swords have returned, if I construct the Devouring Magic Sword Array, using the resentment of sentient beings and the ferocity of the Cursed Sword, it would be enough to sever his destiny."

"Killing him is difficult, but not impossible."

The tone halted briefly.

"However, my Devouring Magic Sword Array was not prepared for him. No need to waste it on him."

"When your true body returns, using twenty-four slaughter swords, along with those on the Tablet of Destiny, he can be killed. At that time, you can gradually divide his destiny among yourselves."

"The Origin, Chaos, and Primordial Epoch factions are playing a grand game, seeking the Dark Abyss."

"Everything happening now is still under their control. Until the critical moment, anyone who jumps out first risks disaster."

David’s heart jolted.

"Mentor, can the thing in the Dark Abyss truly elevate someone to Eternal Sage Rank?"

"You must understand, we are all ants in a cage,"

the tone, serene like unmoving waters, conveyed a profound loneliness beyond words.

"But the existence within the Dark Abyss is not!"

"A near-Eternal Sage Rank can touch destiny, can command the Fate River, yet that supreme being simply glanced at them—"

"Those who had ruled countless eras were reduced to dust without resistance."

"How could we hope to fathom the being imprisoned within the Dark Abyss?"

David sensed a heavy oppression pressing on his chest.

The tone resounded once more:

"Under the reflection of the Fate River, what seems traceable is in fact unpredictable!"

Ancient Epoch – Narsai Kingdom of Light

Before a dazzling star loomed a throne, where a massive form of glowing radiance reclined.

At his back, an enormous ring wove together with the star's glow.

His eyes sparkled with subtle sacred light.

He resembled a god seated amid splendor.

In the distance, a Supreme Sage Rank expert bent low in respect, his every motion showing deep awe.

"Your Majesty, the Stellar Saint-Emperor and Saint Emperor of the Cycle have been driven into the Chaos Singularity. The multiverse is now under the rule of the Crossbridge Empire."

"Everything follows a cycle; destiny bypasses no one."

The light-emperor’s tone was icy, laced with a hint of scorn.

He too had once been driven into the Chaos Singularity by the three Divine Courts.

It had taken immense effort to secure his position there.

Now it was the Reincarnation and Starfont Divine Courts' turn.

Whether they could endure was uncertain.

"Leave them aside for now. Recall all strong beings and gather the legions!"

The emperor of light declared steadily.

"Someone has found the Gateway to the True Universe. This disturbance of the Tablet of Destiny will likely draw them all back."

The supreme sage rank appeared confused.

"If they found the gateway to the True Universe, why would they return?"

The emperor of light let out a cold laugh.

"It’s simple—they cannot enter!"

"Not even near-Eternal Sage Rank can tread there."

"So they return, seeking the Dark Abyss, trying to find a way from what the supreme being restrains."

"The attackers from the Origin River Universe and other universes will also return soon. Then, the multiverse will once again become the focal point."

The sage’s face twisted in shock.

When that supreme being had left previously, it had triggered a great Star Sea upheaval.

The remnants of the Origin and Chaos Epochs fought nearly to collapse the entire Star Sea universe to claim what she left behind.

Divine Courts and factions from all eras were forced to intervene, plunging the Star Sea into darkness.

Though he had not lived through the entire period, he had witnessed the end of the dark age.

He knew the stakes.

If it happened again, even the Ancient Epoch’s strength would suffer tremendous losses, perhaps near annihilation.

"Your Majesty... will you participate as well?"

He asked, worry clear in his voice.

The emperor of light considered it.

"This matter can wait."

"But Aurek harbors a significant secret. I want it."

He stopped briefly.

"We will not interfere with the Dark Abyss; let them search at will."

Since sending scouts to probe the Star Sea, he had already learned many secrets.

Given the recent disasters of the two Divine Courts, he was convinced that Aurek had relied on a tremendous secret to rise so quickly.

This secret not only accelerated his ascent but helped him cultivate countless powerful legions.

To control this secret would greatly amplify Ancient Epoch’s power, even without seizing the Chaos Singularity.

Then, even if they joined the search for the Dark Abyss, they would have enough strength to endure the possible calamities.

Moreover, he suspected that the twelve-level Divine Sanctuary the supreme being once had the Star Courts construct—could it be the Dark Abyss itself?

The supreme sage rank bowed respectfully.

Compared to facing the old remnants or Chaos forces, the Crossbridge Empire would be far easier to deal with.

Chaos Source Point – Eastern Sea of Fate, Chaos Universe

An ancient Chaos Giant stood watch over the universe's entrance.

Far inside the void,

a vast palace forged from stellar bodies drifted through the Star Sea.

A warrior clad in golden armor shaped a dense nebula cloud, acting like a divine architect, carefully positioning its elements before letting it drift free into space.

Two giants in scarred armor flanked him.

"My king," one Chaos Giant announced,

"The Outcast of the Origin Epoch has returned from outside the True Universe. She has ascended to 6th level Supreme Sage Rank and brought back a fragment capable of severing destiny."

"She has returned this time because of the Dark Abyss."

The golden-armored giant pivoted gradually.

"I understand. Prepare yourselves. Only by opening the gateway to the True Universe can we follow in the footsteps of that supreme being."

"Now, with the gateway appearing, the Tablet of Destiny has shifted. Authority in the multiverse has changed, especially with Aurek’s strange rise in the Crossbridge Empire... His growth is undoubtedly abnormal."

"If all these events were unrelated, it would be impossible," one armored giant asked.

"My king means... Aurek knows something?"
