Summoning Millions of Gods Daily, My Strength Equals Theirs Combined

Chapter 641: Chapter641-Activating the Endless Starlight Shield

At the edge of the Arcane Godsea, more and more powerful beings gathered, their collective presence growing increasingly overwhelming.

Across Endless Starlight Isle, every Supreme Sage Rank focused their gaze on the Arcane Godsea, waiting for developments to unfold.

Soon, at the forefront, Celestian Artharion swept his eyes over the assembly and spoke, breaking the silence.

"The Starlight Clock has sounded. I believe all of you are aware of the general reason, but there remain details unknown to many — this is why the clock tolled nine times."

"Is it because of the one billion Supreme Sage Rank of the Crossbridge Divine Court?"

A voice like a bell rang out from an ancient quasi-Eternal Sage Rank of the Holy Alliance.

Artharion replied, "For specifics, let the quasi-Eternal Sage Ranks of the Standarin Universe explain."

Three quasi-Eternal Sage Ranks from the Standarin Universe bowed gravely to the gathered powers, their expressions solemn.

"The Crossbridge Divine Court has already deployed one hundred million Supreme Sage Rank into Endless Starlight Isle, targeting Azurejay Palace and other Supreme Sage Rank factions. You are undoubtedly the most aware of this situation."

He cast his gaze toward the quasi-Eternal Sage Ranks of Azurejay Palace. Seeing their disheveled and troubled state, all present understood without words.

The Standarin quasi-Eternal Sage Rank continued,

"You have likely heard that the Crossbridge Divine Court has one billion Supreme Sage Rank, that Aurek has ascended to quasi-Eternal Sage Rank, and commands mighty generals — all of this is true.

"But now, I must correct this... Aurek’s legions are not merely one billion, but an almost unimaginable... ten billion!"

"And that does not even include the over one hundred billion Sage Masters and quasi-Supreme Sage Rank."

Boom—!

The revelation struck like a bomb dropped among the crowd. Faces went pale, murmurs erupted; shock and disbelief spread everywhere.

The heads of Arcane God Mountain, Blazing Divine Court, and Soul Sanctum twitched involuntarily at the news.

They had previously joked, "Could the Crossbridge Divine Court really muster ten billion Supreme Sage Rank?"

Now... it was real.

Only a day or two had passed!

If given decades, could Aurek create legions of hundreds of billions?

What kind of power was this? Could even the secrets of the Eternal achieve such feats?

Though none had personally encountered the Eternal or fully understood its potential, seeing tens of billions of Supreme Sage Rank increase in just two days made "unimaginable" an understatement.

No matter how much they tried to grasp it, their minds spun in confusion.

The Arcane Godsea fell into a profound silence, the sound of a pin dropping audible.

Many ancient quasi-Eternal Sage Ranks, freshly awakened, felt as though they were reading some incomprehensible divine scripture.

One moment it was one billion enemies; the next, ten billion?

Was cultivating a Supreme Sage Rank as easy as tending roadside cabbages?

They glanced at the quasi-Eternal Sage Ranks beside them, seeking confirmation that they had not misheard.

After careful explanation, these ageless veterans’ mouths gaped in astonishment, their eyes wide as if witnessing the most absurd legend in existence.

"Is this... real?"

The Lord of the Soul Sanctum pressed down the tremor in his chest and sought confirmation from a Standarin quasi-Eternal Sage Rank.

The Standarin quasi-Eternal Sage Rank nodded, a trace of helplessness in his voice.

"The Crossbridge Divine Court’s legions have already advanced into the Standarin Universe. Not even the Illusionary Nebula could stop them. Now, they stand at the northern edge of Endless Starlight Isle.

"Judging by the advance of the one hundred million Supreme Sage Rank and their consolidation in the north, I assess that Aurek intends to breach from this direction."

At that moment, the northern defenders of Endless Starlight Isle, including the Lord of Soul Sanctum, the heads of Arcane God Mountain, and the Blazing Divine Court, went pale as paper.

Leaders of Celestian, Beaststar Sylvan, Council of Kunkar, the Fate Monarch Court, and Oblivion Sanctum exchanged glances in silence.

Finally, Artharion spoke, his voice steady as a rock:

"Ten billion Supreme Sage Rank — this force is capable of crushing any faction."

"I recommend we immediately activate the Endless Starlight Shield, to protect the isle. We cannot allow the Crossbridge Divine Court to lay claim here."

"Gather the forces of all star domains and completely annihilate this ten-billion Supreme Sage Rank legion, erasing Aurek’s anomaly from the Fate River entirely."

"Agreed!"

The moment Artharion finished, the Lord of Soul Sanctum spoke up. Being located in the north, Soul Sanctum represented the first line of defense against the Crossbridge Divine Court’s advance.

The quasi-Eternal Sage Ranks of the Blazing Divine Court, Arcane God Mountain, and Azurejay Palace also voiced their agreement.

"We too agree: activate the Endless Starlight Shield immediately!"

All present understood the stakes.

The Endless Starlight Shield was the last bastion of this Star Sea.

It drew on the primordial power of the Arcane Godsea, merged with the Fate River spanning billions of star domains on Endless Starlight Isle, and incorporated the wisdom and techniques of countless civilizations across millennia. Revered as the Immortal Shield, it was constructed by mysterious taboo entities.

Many speculated these were the legendary Eternal Sage Rank.

For this reason, the rank above quasi-Eternal Sage Rank was known to the world, though no one had ever seen these taboo beings firsthand.

Some even argued that Endless Starlight Isle existed because of this shield.

The more factions settled there, the stronger and more indestructible the Endless Starlight Shield became.

Historically, when the Primordial River Cosmos deployed its forces to attack Endless Starlight Isle, even after hundreds of thousands of years of battle, they could not damage the shield.

Now, Endless Starlight Isle had grown immensely since then, its defenses beyond imagination.

The threat of a ten-billion Supreme Sage Rank legion rivaled the crisis of the Primordial River in scale.

Yet the factions of Endless Starlight Isle remained fragmented. They had to stabilize the situation with the shield before mounting a counterattack.

Activating it only after suffering successive defeats would be pointless.

The factions quickly reached a consensus.

At that moment, the Old Secret God of Beaststar Sylvan spoke:

"Before we do that, we must first eliminate the one hundred million Supreme Sage Rank that Crossbridge Divine Court has already inserted into Endless Starlight Isle."

"Each faction should contribute ten Supreme Sage Rank and one quasi-Eternal Sage Rank."

Though these top factions had only a dozen or two quasi-Eternal Sage Ranks individually, the star domains spanned billions of systems.

Every system had formidable powers guarding it. Concentrating all these forces in one place would create a terrifying scene.

"To deal with the Crossbridge Divine Court, we must act early!"

A quasi-Eternal Sage Rank of Azurejay Palace warned gravely:

"Do not forget, Aurek himself is bizarre beyond comprehension. Who can guarantee that in a few years he will not produce an even more unfathomable legion?"

"We must act swiftly. The sooner, the better. Once you return to your own factions, mobilize sufficient forces to eliminate Aurek entirely in one decisive strike."

His warning caused all quasi-Eternal Sage Ranks present to furrow their brows.

From the moment Aurek first appeared on the Tablet of Destiny, to unifying the Star Sea with hundreds of millions of quasi-Supreme Sage Rank, to nearly a hundred billion, then one billion Supreme Sage Rank...

Now, ten billion Supreme Sage Rank.

Would there ever be a hundred billion?

No one could say.

Yet it was better to assume it might be possible than to be caught unprepared.

All factions had to prepare for this eventuality.
