Chapter 608: Chapter608-A Completely Different Time Scale
"Heh... if nothing goes wrong, things are about to get lively again."
A shadowy figure let out a sinister laugh.
"Being dazzling isn’t necessarily a good thing. Just think of how much hatred the Tablet of Destiny has drawn toward you... Aurek!"
The returning prodigies hadn’t yet returned to their respective factions, yet some had already set off toward the Starry Expanse of the Ten Thousand Races.
At the edge of the Chaos Singularity.
An endless river stretched across the cosmos, boundless and infinite.
Every single drop in this river was a star!
That’s right—the Endless River did not flow with water, but with the ancient starry currents themselves!
Infinite and eternal—that was how the Endless River got its name.
A silver-armored youth, holding a blood-red spear, stood silently at the river’s edge for a long moment.
Behind him stood four supreme sage ranks, each a powerhouse among their peers.
Yet they were mere supporting actors.
The truly formidable one was the youth himself.
A prodigy recorded on the Tablet of Destiny, heir of the top-tier faction Crimson Moon—Dothir.
"Shall we wait a bit longer?"
One sage rank asked cautiously.
Dothir’s lips curled into a scornful smirk.
"Wait for them to come together?"
The four supreme sage ranks’ expressions stiffened slightly—they sensed the resoluteness in his tone.
"Do you know why, as I march through the Primordial River Cosmos, facing enemy after enemy of unimaginable power, I can always remain standing?"
Dothir asked with deep significance.
The four sage ranks listened quietly, genuinely curious.
Compared with the Lord of the Heavens, the Harbinger of the End, the Void Seeker, and others, Dothir’s combat power and rank were somewhat inferior.
Yet both the Truth Universe region and the Primordial River Cosmos were absolute deathtraps.
Every powerful young giant from the Empyrean Sanctum who ventured there often perished.
Those who survived possessed unique depth and exceptional strength.
Dothir’s gaze suddenly turned cold.
"Because I never underestimate any opponent."
"No matter what tricks Aurek has, or what external forces brought him here... what cannot be ignored is that he ascended to supreme sage rank in just five years."
"That means..."
"...his time scale is completely different from ours."
The four supreme sage ranks stiffened at his words.
"Our ascensions are measured in tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of years."
"His, however, is measured in years, months... even days!"
"Can you guarantee that after a year, or even a month, he will still be the same Aurek?"
The four supreme sage ranks’ faces changed drastically.
Indeed—they had been evaluating this emperor, this unknown opponent, by their own time scale!
For them, entering a meditative state could easily span an entire era.
A year or two was negligible in their subconscious perception.
Yet for Aurek, it held entirely different meaning.
"Let’s go."
Dothir said lightly, stepping into the Endless River.
A cosmic gate suddenly opened with a thunderous roar, leading directly to the Starry Expanse of the Ten Thousand Races.
Outside the Endless River.
The eternal Apollo Sunblaze, stationed there, narrowed his eyes and stepped into the Sea of Chaos.
"Someone from the Chaos Singularity has crossed the Endless River!"
In an instant:
Venus, Merxis, Suggwoth, Ares, Tina, Harry, War Bear, Golden Armor, Overthunder, Cyriel!
Ten supreme sage rank commanders, all preparing for a campaign, appeared simultaneously.
At the far end of the Endless River lay an ancient forbidden zone known as the "Shore."
It had been inhabited by the Shorekeepers for generations.
The Shorekeepers drew power from the Endless River to ascend.
The Lord of the River had been the first to master this power, gaining staggering fortune and achieving supreme sage rank.
But most Shorekeepers had long strayed from their original purpose.
They acted like ferrymen, opening passages through the Endless River to the Chaos Singularity for profit.
Over time, they became a formidable faction within the Starry Expanse.
Now, seeing the Crossbridge Divine Court muster hundreds of billions at the river’s edge, the Shorekeepers were utterly panicked.
Had the Crossbridge Divine Court gone mad?
"The passage has been cleared. The cosmic gate is stable."
Overthunder’s voice was calm and clear.
Their goals were twofold: secure the Endless River, then probe the Chaos Singularity.
With Void Warlocks skilled in spatial laws, opening a cosmic gate was trivial.
Before His Majesty’s personal expedition, they needed to uncover the truth of the Chaos Singularity.
Suggwoth pondered briefly.
"Golden Armor, lead the Shadow Guild with a hundred million Void Warlocks to go first."
Golden Armor saluted, ready to move.
At the edge of the Sea of Chaos, a black-hole-like vortex of a cosmic gate erupted violently.
Five powerful presences stepped through.
All sensed their arrival simultaneously—five supreme sage ranks in total.
It was Dothir and the four sage ranks of Crimson Moon.
Boom—!
War Bear crossed the void in a single step, landing at the Sea of Chaos’ edge.
Dothir and his four companions immediately sensed his presence and scanned his rank.
"This is Divine Court territory. Who are you?"
War Bear asked sternly.
Dothir’s expression turned icy.
He had already assessed the general’s power and knew he was from the Crossbridge Divine Court.
The four sage ranks behind him tensed, ready to strike.
"Hold on."
Dothir raised his hand to stop them.
"Let him lead us to Aurek. Acting here would only alert others."
He stepped forward slightly, bowing faintly.
"I am Dothir, from the Chaos Singularity. I come to the Starry Expanse with no ill intent. I merely wish to pay respects to His Majesty, Aurek."
"To pay respects to His Majesty?"
War Bear’s gaze was like a blade, sweeping over the four sage ranks.
After a moment, he said coldly:
"In that case, follow me."
Dothir and his companions exchanged glances and followed, each remaining on high alert.
Deep in the Sea of Chaos, War Bear suddenly stopped.
He turned to face the five of them.
Dothir immediately tensed, instinctively drawing distance in a heartbeat.
But it was already too late.
Apollo Sunblaze, Cursefont Star God, Suggwoth, Ares...
Eleven supreme sage ranks simultaneously stepped from the void, encircling Dothir and his group.
Dothir quickly scanned the surroundings.
Supreme sage rank... supreme sage rank... all were supreme sage ranks!
The corner of his mouth twitched violently; his mood plummeted.
This was nothing like what he had heard about the Crossbridge Divine Court.
How long had passed?
As he suspected...
From the moment he heard that the Crossbridge Empire had unified the Starry Expanse to now, an entire year had passed!
He had ignored this year, or rather, subconsciously dismissed its span.
In his mind, a year was nothing.
Meanwhile, the four sage ranks behind him were completely stunned.
Who could have imagined this?
They had just arrived in the Starry Expanse, hadn’t even met Aurek, and instead were blocked by over a dozen supreme sage ranks.
It felt like preparing for a grand campaign in finery, only to be confronted by heavily armed soldiers out of nowhere.
War Bear’s mind power had locked onto Dothir.
From the moment these figures appeared, he knew their intentions were hostile.
Chaos Singularity and the Starry Expanse were separated by the Endless River.
The Divine Court had just unified the Starry Expanse, yet someone from Chaos Singularity crossed over, specifically requesting an audience with His Majesty?
They clearly knew of the upheaval in the Starry Expanse.
Perhaps they were elite envoys of the two Divine Courts, or, more likely, they were after a certain secret.
Though a simple courtesy visit couldn’t be ruled out, War Bear wasn’t willing to gamble.
They would be taken first—there would be time to speak later.
