The defeated Reincarnation Divine Court retreats to the Sanctuary of Rebirth, where old enmities simmer between its leader, the Hell Tyrant, and the Sanctuary's master, Mosambis, over a stolen inheritance. The Sword-Sea Emperor arrives uninvited, confronting the Sanctuary's defenses to demand a meeting with the Singer of Fate, whose discussion leaves the ancient quasi-Eternal Sages in contemplative silence amid rumors of Aurek's profound secret. Outside the realm, the survivors learn that the Crossbridge Divine Court has penetrated the Chaos Singularity, not to hunt them down, but to seize control of the entire domain.

The might of the Crossbridge Divine Court was well-known to them.

That overwhelming force had indeed brought their age to a close.

Yet, to target the whole Chaos Singularity?

That seemed to overestimate the emperor's capabilities too greatly.

"Hmph, no more circling around it."

The Sage Rank stated directly.

"Aurek has reached Level 9 Supreme Sage Rank, boasting power that rivals a quasi-Eternal Sage Rank."

"He leads almost one hundred billion quasi-Empyrean Sanctum legions, plus hundreds of billions of Sage Lord Rank troops."

He stopped for a moment, his tone turning even graver.

"Recently, he wiped out the Origin Sword Sea and seized control of the entire Sword Universe."

"The Sword-Sea Emperor, who was a quasi-Eternal Sage Rank, ended up shattered, fleeing solo after deserting his army."

"What?!"

A powerful entity shouted in alarm, his complexion draining to white instantly.

The Dark Keep Warchief and the rest stood dumbfounded, like their spirits had been yanked away.

The Saint Emperor of the Cycle, the Hell Tyrant, the Undying Demon God...

every one of them halted, taking a long time to snap out of it.

Particularly the Undying Demon God.

Just a year back, he saw Aurek rising to Empyrean Sanctum.

Now, after twelve months, word came that Aurek hit Level 9 Supreme Sage Rank, able to face off against a quasi-Eternal Sage Rank?

And... close to one hundred billion quasi-Empyrean Sanctum legions?

Could this be some illusion?

It felt too unreal to accept.

Several generals from the Reincarnation Divine Court felt their resolve crumble deep within.

No matter where they ran, the Crossbridge Divine Court chased them down.

And those armies kept gaining power while their ranks swelled.

From Sage Lord to Sage Master, then Sage Master to quasi-Empyrean Sanctum...

And now almost one hundred billion quasi-Empyrean Sanctum!

Would Supreme Sage Rank armies come next?

Or perhaps Eternal Sage Rank?

Absurd beyond measure.

Even draining every resource from the starry realms of all species might scarcely yield a billion quasi-Empyrean Sanctum—this scale strained belief.

No replies came to ease their uncertainties.

The Supreme Sage Rank bearer of the tidings shook his head slowly.

Even the Sanctuary of Rebirth's inhabitants struggled to grasp it fully—much less these folks.

...

En route to the Stanford family and additional powers, the Sword-Sea Emperor pressed on.

The Luminous Land of Nasei.

A scout dispatched to probe the Sword Universe hurried back, horror carved into his features, reaching the Throne of Radiance.

The Light-Armored Warrior Eureka and fellow giants assembled, the air thick with strain.

"Your Majesty... we cannot risk angering the Crossbridge Divine Court!"

Terror gripped the scout firmly; his words quivered.

"There are far too many quasi-Empyrean Sanctum legions! From those who just escaped the Sword Universe... no less than one hundred billion!"

"Plus, they hold power to eliminate quasi-Eternal Sage Ranks!"

Boom—!

The Ancient Sovereign leaped up from his seat!

Vast radiance burst forth, rattling the blazing sun at his back!

His colossal presence surged over the whole Luminous Land of Nasei, like heavenly fury unleashed.

Eureka's mouth jerked sharply, his visage ashen under the helm.

Before, he toyed with thoughts of striking at Aurek...

Now, that idea screamed certain doom.

Even a portion of such forces would overwhelm them.

The other giants shrank back on reflex, swallowed by unseen dread.

The hall plunged into prolonged, suffocating quiet.

While the Ancient Sovereign foresaw Aurek's dreadfulness, the reality surpassed his wildest thoughts.

After an extended pause, he issued a grave order:

"With Aurek having taken the Sword Universe, the Luminous Land of Nasei will likely face him soon."

"At once, ignite the Holy Light Array! Every mighty one must guard it at maximum strength, holding until the crisis fades!"

"Yes!"

The giants chorused back, their tones laced with shakes.

"Moreover—"

The Ancient Sovereign's words cut cold as ice.

"None may cross the Land of Light's boundaries!"

"If we stay put, his one hundred billion quasi-Empyrean Sanctum won't breach us."

As light-energy beings, the Luminous Land of Nasei's residents had surpassed typical fleshly limits long ago.

By standing firm, the Holy Light Array could drive off assailants by itself.

Though the quasi-Empyrean Sanctum fighters numbered hugely, they missed a vital edge.

Regardless of quantity, they couldn't swiftly shatter the Holy Light Array.

The formation repelled strikes, slowly sapping their force.

It had endured a full assault from a quasi-Eternal Sage Rank once.

Regular Supreme Sage Ranks failed to crack it!

Unless Aurek gathered hordes of Supreme Sage Ranks...

Trillions of quasi-Empyrean Sanctum would prove useless.

But Aurek's ranks consisted mainly of quasi-Empyrean Sanctum.

Supreme Sage Ranks were present, yet scarce.

The real dangers lay in the apocalyptic dragon thought to match quasi-Eternal Sage Rank, and Aurek personally!

Still, the Ancient Sovereign's might sufficed to stall them.

By lasting through it, they'd alert the full Chaos Singularity.

Then, inevitably, aid would arrive to oppose Aurek.

And they could launch a riposte in turn.

The giants grasped the plan.

Though burdened with worry, they braced for the tempest, ready for its strike.

...

In the Origin Sword Sea Sanctuary,

Aurek stared at the immense tally of Emperor Points, his gaze shimmering.

Such assets could propel him close to quasi-Eternal Sage Rank.

In his mind, with proper training, he could attain it.

Yet haste held no appeal.

He accessed the summoning units interface.

His forthcoming assault targeted the Luminous Land of Nasei.

Elevating the Life Sorcerer stood as the best move.

Each advancement amplified the Life Sorcerer's might to fearsome heights.

Above all, the twin pinnacle spells, Life’s End and Death Dirge, struck at life's core and worked wonders versus the Ancient Legacy Race.

He learned this a year prior, during the Ancient Legacy assault on the Celestial Light God Realm.

Currently at level 23, the Life Sorcerer needed minimal Emperor Points for level 25.

Aurek committed to the upgrade.

[Life Sorcerer Authority upgraded to Level 25, capable of producing 208,000,000 Level 25 Life Sorcerers per day.]

[Emperor Points required for next upgrade: 11 quadrillion!]

[Note: Level 25 Life Sorcerer, combat power on par with Level 1 Supreme Sage Rank, possesses divine skill: Life Wheel.]

[Extra Reward: Hand of Fate!]

Supreme Sage Rank!

More than two hundred million!

Aurek's eyes blazed like celestial fires.

Even more thrilling proved the bonus: Hand of Fate!

A godly ability outstripping a thousand Sword Judgement Domains and genesis-tier techniques, rivaled solely by the Dimensional Vision!

It commanded the Fate River at its peak!

After absorbing its secrets completely, his focus shifted to advancing his authority more.

This elevation cost 50 trillion Emperor Points, but elevated yet another troop class to level 25.

Aurek selected the Doomsday Warrior for the boost.

[Doomsday Warrior Authority upgraded to Level 25, capable of producing 208,000,000 Level 25 Doomsday Warriors per day.]

[Emperor Points required for next upgrade: 10 trillion.]

[New Divine Skill unlocked: Cataclysm of Fate.]

[Note: Level 25 Doomsday Warrior, combat power on par with Level 1 Supreme Sage Rank!]
