Chapter 498: Chapter498-The Empire’s Will, The Emperor’s Destiny
Prologue Sage, Lord of Sacred Light, Lucio, and other powerful figures from the Empire looked on, their gazes suddenly focused.
Then, they all simultaneously bowed toward the sword, their expressions filled with deep respect.
Boom—!
The millions of Imperial legions, witnessing the sword, all kneeled on one knee. The grandeur was overwhelming, shaking all the onlookers.
Starreach Province.
Elizabeth bowed respectfully.
Chaotic Realm.
Ares, Tina, and other generals also bowed.
This scene left Dioch, Nalodebi, Bolink, and other strong figures astonished.
Ael Fortress.
The majestic Empress Josephine of the Empire, Fiona, and Belinda also bowed to the Golden Sword.
Every citizen of the Empire bowed to the will represented by this sword.
This scene was witnessed by countless powerful onlookers, all of whom were shaken.
They vaguely guessed what was happening, and turned their gazes sharply toward the floating Golden Sword.
An overwhelming aura of dominance spread out, carrying with it a supreme Divine Radiance and imperial presence that made all beings of Olympian God Mountain feel an unresistable pressure on a level of pure will!
It seemed to announce: "If you don’t submit, your will will be crushed!"
At this moment, even Silas and others showed significant changes in their expressions.
"Such a domineering imperial aura!"
"Could this be the true intention of... the Emperor of Crossbridge Empire?!"
Within the Starlight Colonnade’s forbidden zone, an ancient Sage Lord furrowed his brow, his expression solemn.
From this one sword, they could glimpse some unsettling depth.
"This murderous aura... is truly terrifying!"
Sherana’s icy blue eyes also trembled slightly.
The four Peace Committee envoys stared intently at the Golden Sword’s blade.
That purest, most extreme aura of slaughter shattered the surrounding laws inch by inch, relentlessly wearing down their combined shield, its killing intent fiercely rising.
The four were forced to retreat again.
However, the Golden Sword advanced once more, aiming to strike them down!
"Emperor of Crossbridge! Do you really wish to challenge the Peace Committee?!"
One of the Peace Envoys’ faces turned ashen, his voice reverberating, seeming to echo across the distant Eura continent.
At the same time, the four of them retreated to the gate of light.
The Golden Sword, as domineering as it was, pierced directly into the void in front of the Peace Committee gate!
It seemed to silently declare: "What is the Peace Committee even worth?"
That unabashed contempt moved every onlooker deeply!
"No wonder even a consort of the Emperor is so forceful—this Crossbridge Emperor is making a public display against the Committee!"
Vane from Thousandblade Spire’s corner of his mouth twitched.
Though the Emperor had not yet appeared, the sword already represented the Empire’s entire will and attitude.
Olympian God Mountain would be crushed!
No one, not even the Peace Committee, could stop it!
The blade’s direction and the Empire’s will alone would decide everything.
Eura Continent.
Aetherian Sanctuary.
Aurek opened his eyes and stared directly at Celestial Light God Realm.
He had already consumed all the Emperor Points he had accumulated—hundreds of trillions—along with the magic potions from the Abyss Demon Realm, and was now nearing quasi-Sage Lord rank.
All he needed was to use the primal laws to comprehend the rules of the world, condense his own laws, and officially break into quasi-Sage Lord rank, beginning his challenge for true Sage Master!
At his current rank, he could clearly see everything happening in Celestial Light God Realm.
He had already investigated the Peace Committee. It was confirmed to be the order-maintaining authority of Celestial Light God Realm and originated from the Star Sea.
Aurek speculated that the Peace Committee was likely a Divine Court-level power’s monitoring organization established across various realms!
After all, whether it was the Abyss Demon Realm, Eura Continent, or Celestial Light God Realm, they were all parts of the vast Star Sea.
And this region of the starry sea might fall under the domain of a massive Divine Court.
This would mean that establishing the Committee to monitor the various realms was beneficial for maintaining basic order in their territory.
However, Crossbridge Empire had no choice but to take this step now.
Even if it might draw the attention of a Divine Court-level power, if they were stalled at this point, the Empire would be unable to expand and continue to gather vital Emperor Points.
Once Crossbridge Empire decided to conquer Celestial Light God Realm, they would inevitably face this Divine Court-level power—this was only a matter of time.
Rather than passively waiting, it was better to take the initiative and seize the opportunity!
If the Peace Committee dared to intervene, the Empire would list them as a target as well!
However, Aurek still had some doubts in his mind.
Kaos’s performance in this battle seemed to be restrained.
When he faced the Sage Lord Lawrence in the Abyss Demon Realm, a Sage Lord rank powerhouse, Kaos had slapped him into the Chaotic Void repeatedly, crushing him completely.
Yet now, against two quasi-Sage Masters, along with a World Relic, he still hadn’t been able to fully erase them.
Even with the support of the supreme sacred being’s phantom and the God Mountain Guardian Formation, it shouldn’t have taken this long.
What was the reason behind this?
Aurek couldn’t figure it out for now.
Was it because of Beyoncé?
His thoughts shifted, and he glanced at the information panel.
[Emperor Points: +1.156 trillion]
Unconsciously, his Emperor Points had reached 11.456 trillion!
Even conquering the entire Abyss Demon Realm hadn’t yielded this much.
Now, just by attacking Olympian God Mountain, the Empire had already gained such a vast amount.
If the entire Celestial Light God Realm could be brought into the fold, not only would the Empire’s power be greatly enhanced, but the summoning army authority could also rise to level 20.
This harvest was mainly due to the 100,000 God Mountain Imperial Guards and the 500,000 Automaton Legion.
These two legions alone had provided nearly 50-60 trillion Emperor Points.
Additionally, the cleaning of several cities, though it had some impact on the Empire’s national strength, had also provided quite a large number of Emperor Points.
Combined with several previous campaigns, the total amount had surpassed Aurek’s initial expectations.
This enormous Emperor Points amount was enough to help him safely advance to Sage Lord rank.
What was lacking now was just the final insight and fusion of the laws to condense his own rules.
Aurek’s pursuit wasn’t only about the immense power of ruling the Empire; it was about touching the mysterious, unpredictable destiny of the Emperor!
Since he entered Sage Lord rank, he had been constantly exploring.
The ancient books recorded:
Fate, luck, the trajectory of the world.
Fate itself was always the most elusive and difficult force to grasp in the Star Sea.
The so-called "world trajectory" was the supreme law of fate, the ultimate coordinate that wove all the material changes in the vast universe and countless star systems, the total sum of everything returning to one.
In front of this vast whole, any individual seemed as insignificant as dust.
Even if a life miraculously changed its trajectory, the encompassing cosmic will or the existence web would subtly adjust, like an invisible supreme law, eventually pulling the individual back into its predetermined grand order.
It was almost impossible for an individual to break free from the bonds of this fate web.
However, Aurek’s exploration of the Emperor’s fate was a different kind of miracle.
He wasn’t seeking the transcendence of a small individual; instead, he aimed to use the Empire as the foundation, to build his own destiny and the will of the Empire to an unprecedented level.
Until his very thoughts and decisions could disturb the flow of fate, forcing the originally unreachable law of destiny to face his existence!
To make this great being strong enough to challenge fate, Aurek’s method was to start from the overwhelming national strength of the Empire.
He was determined to push this national strength to its peak.
Not only would he elevate Crossbridge Empire to become the ruling Divine Court of the star realms, but he also aimed to surpass all known orders and create an eternal Divine Court that transcended all Divine Empires and connected countless dimensions!
He had decided to forge and strengthen his unique Emperor’s fate through the majestic momentum of the Empire’s civilization.
This grand plan originated from his early exploration of many ancient sages’ advice and the laws of destiny.
Now, he applied this philosophy to the pursuit of the extraordinary path, understanding it far more deeply than ordinary powers.
His insight and talent, resonating with the Empire’s soaring national power, had surpassed the boundaries of genius and prodigy.
He had become the very legend that danced with the fate of the Empire’s civilization!
As long as he integrated this overwhelming force and profound understanding, the breakthrough to Sage Lord rank would be the next natural evolution!
