Buzz—!
Within the expanse of The Luminous Land of Nasei, unusual waves stirred in the Sea of Chaos.
Those waves weren't made of liquid, but rather the cries of the laws echoing through.
The whole chaos shook in utter silence, as though the void itself shuddered before an unimaginable destruction.
A swirling maelstrom ripped apart the emptiness.
The Gate of the Universe flung open, resembling the void's depths awakening with a piercing stare.
The Sword-Sea Emperor emerged, surrounded by Cursed Swords that howled like ravenous predators.
His eyes swept over the area, his brow creasing in puzzlement.
Initially, he believed he'd erred in his navigation.
Acting swiftly, he shattered the void once more and passed through the Gate of the Universe toward a farther point.
However, soon enough...
Perplexed, he summoned the gate again and discovered he had returned to the identical location!
His gaze sharpened a bit, showing a flicker of unusual uncertainty.
"This... ought to be close to the edge of The Luminous Land of Nasei."
He examined the surroundings, his tone laced with uncommon confusion.
"Where... exactly is The Luminous Land of Nasei?"
"How peculiar. Did I perhaps veer off course?"
Silence enveloped everything, revealing just a barren, lifeless void.
No glow, no pulses of law, no hints of vitality.
Even the chaos's core had been utterly wiped out, replaced by sheer, total nothingness.
He dismissed any notions of the supernatural.
He scoured the chaos over and over, cross-checking various ancient spacetime markers, only to end up at the same place, his face set in a scowl toward the emptiness.
Deep contemplation gripped him.
The error wasn't on his part.
The Luminous Land of Nasei... had simply disappeared entirely!
An immense cosmos that had endured for eons beyond count had inexplicably vanished—not a single particle lingered.
Positioned in the Sea of Chaos, a sudden icy gust brushed by him.
This breeze, usually intangible and without form, made his frame tremble on instinct.
A primordial chill, buried deep within the spirit, crept along his back.
"Could it... possibly be the doing of the Crossbridge Divine Court?"
That name flashed in the Sword-Sea Emperor's mind, only for him to dismiss it at once.
"No. That's impossible!"
"Even if Aurek’s army of a hundred billion quasi-Emperyan warriors had been unleashed, they couldn't have obliterated a whole Light Universe completely. Besides, the Elder Sovereign isn't one to underestimate; a true battle would have left some remnants behind."
He halted briefly, then considered another possibility.
"Did the Elder Sovereign escape, taking the entire The Luminous Land of Nasei along?"
After pondering for a moment, he denied it with a shake of his head.
"Such a cowardly being. It's no surprise he once ran away from a handful of emerging Divine Court factions."
"Forget it. His absence changes little. The coalition forces are more than ready. Now it's time to confront Aurek."
Recalling the extraordinary mystery tied to Aurek, the Sword-Sea Emperor's eyes blazed fiercely like forged metal.
Shattering the Level-8 barrier eight times within just one year...
He could vividly picture that claiming that mystery would let him shoulder the will of Heaven, making that vital leap to Eternal sage rank!
At that point, he would reach the zenith of the boundless Star Sea.
Every creature and force would kneel in obedience!
Without further delay, the Sword-Sea Emperor morphed into a flash of sword radiance slicing the void, racing toward the Sword Universe.
Yet he overlooked the fact that, in the profound depths of that void cosmos, the Elder Sovereign's broken remains—like twisted limbs burned by celestial flames—floated languidly through the Star Sea...
During the direst instant, the Elder Sovereign had concealed himself within the Fate River.
As a quasi-Eternal sage rank entity, he had barely dodged the fatal blow.
A remnant of his awareness quivered amid the folds of the Eternal River.
The disaster of fate twisted the Threads of Fate into streaks of destiny thunder, doggedly pursuing his last wisp of consciousness to obliterate him from existence's very foundation.
He detected the Sword-Sea Emperor's approach.
However, aware the Emperor headed toward doom, he chose not to endanger his fragile hold on life by revealing himself with a warning.
A few other mighty figures had arrived to probe as well, each departing with baffled looks after discovering absolutely nothing.
...
Origin Sword Sea, within the Sanctuary.
[Defeating myriad foes, Emperor Points +700 trillion...]
The Luminous Land of Nasei's base was much frailer than the Sword Universe's, and its strong entities were mostly mediocre, yielding somewhat fewer points than earlier.
Still, combined with prior gains, this haul sufficed for Aurek to surge straight into quasi-Eternal sage rank!
He pressed on with examining Hand of Fate, spending Emperor Points to surge his power wildly.
With his might expanding, his level rose swiftly!
His grasp of the three paths—Fate, Luck, and Emperor’s Power—skyrocketed.
Delving into Hand of Fate yielded extra gains, letting him delve further into the Fate River while honing his mental state!
His mirror clone appeared on the drifting sanctuary platform beyond the grand hall.
Innumerable rays of light gathered, forming a colossal form in the emptiness.
"Long live His Majesty!"
Generals and officials bowed together, their cries crashing like ocean waves.
Aurek looked over them, seeing that nearly all had boosted their strength considerably.
"Has the status of the nearby regions been fully probed?"
Golden Armor advanced, offering a respectful bow.
"Your Majesty, the Sword Universe sits north of the Arcane Divine Sea. In proximity are the Senllo Universe, Sanctuary of Rebirth, the City of Rock, the Stanford Clan, the Forbidden Lands, and The Luminous Land of Nasei. They control vast stellar assets, each realm rich with ancient heritage and brimming with formidable experts."
He stopped briefly, reciting the gathered intel thoroughly.
"In the Senllo Universe, the Sanluo Sanctuary legacy focuses on clone divine techniques. Its originator, the God of Slaughter, outranks the Sword-Sea Emperor in age among quasi-Eternal sage ranks, wielding eight clones, all rivaling Level-9 Supreme sage rank."
"The City of Rock rules over two universes, harboring two quasi-Eternal sage ranks."
"The Sanctuary of Rebirth hosts three quasi-Eternal sage ranks, plus an enigmatic Wheel of Reincarnation beyond comprehension."
"Every other domain is similarly protected by quasi-Eternal sage ranks."
"The farther chaotic realms near the Endless Starlight Island hold intricate circumstances, with the Shadow Guild laboring to uncover more."
...
Such was the structure of the Endless Star Sea cosmos.
The Miliverse of Ten Thousand Races amounted to a mere trivial chaotic realm inside it.
Sword Universe, Senllo Universe... hosts of others thrived!
And Endless Starlight Island's very name hinted at its immense scale and tangled depths.
Positioned nearest the Arcane Divine Sea, it concealed endless cosmic domains, inheritances, and timeless bases...
Aurek absorbed Golden Armor's briefing, his eyes profound and unreadable.
Golden Armor went on:
"Moreover, our probes reveal the Sword-Sea Emperor has conferred with the Senllo Universe and City of Rock, holding clandestine talks with various quasi-Eternal sage ranks. I believe he's plotting to rally them for an assault on the Divine Court."
"No belief required," Alvin's voice cut in, brimming with unshakeable conviction.
"Your Majesty’s revelation of his foundation might have shaken the Sword-Sea Emperor, yet avarice doesn't fade that simply. His meetings with those quasi-Eternal sage ranks are aimed at allying to challenge you."
A hush descended.
Even their aides felt the profound terror cloaking their ruler.
Everyone knew Aurek possessed secrets that could shatter worlds.
Still, no one ventured more words.
But the Sword-Sea Emperor and the quasi-Eternal sage ranks, each thirsting for Heaven’s mandate, lacked such restraint.
"Quasi-Eternal sage ranks? Banding together against me?"
A savage smile curved Aurek’s lips, akin to an emperor beholding insects.
"Then... let them come."
