Summoning Millions of Gods Daily, My Strength Equals Theirs Combined

Chapter 656: Chapter656-The Primordial Progenitor’s Choice

"It seems the disturbance that occurred earlier in the region of the Truth Universe was connected to this."

The Amethyst King thought to himself.

Aurek’s gaze also turned grave.

Clearly, this aura had already crossed a certain limit. It was even more terrifying than the mysterious existence behind that fragment of oak branch.

Even the boundless Fate River was forced into manifestation beneath the pressure of that dreadful presence.

Aurek recalled Suggwoth, Alvin, Dragon Emperor Kairos, and the other experts.

"Your Majesty, the fortune of the entire Star Sea is undergoing a violent upheaval. It has already affected the Fate River, and even the lines of destiny flowing through the void have fallen into chaos."

"This time, I fear something will occur that lies beyond the very scope of the Star Sea’s destiny."

After completing his divination, Alvin too had sensed something amiss.

It was an unimaginable development. Though the signs were still vague, they concealed a danger no one could foresee.

Aurek controlled both fate and fortune. Even if he was not truly skilled in deduction, he could still barely sense some of the abnormalities.

He turned to Suggwoth and ordered, "From this moment onward, all Crossbridge Legions are to hold the northern star domains. Make no other moves for the time being."

"In addition, dispatch two hundred million quasi-Eternal Sage elites to garrison the Endless River."

"As you command!"

Suggwoth bowed and accepted the order.

Aurek offered no further explanation.

This time, even he had felt that indescribable aura, and for the first time ever, a trace of unease rose in his heart.

He had to spend his Emperor Points and level up as quickly as possible—he had to reach the Eternal Sage rank at the earliest opportunity, perhaps even surpass it.

To guard against any unforeseen changes, he planned to use the Endless River as a dividing line, sealing it off with a vast army to protect the foundation of the Divine Court, while turning the entire Endless Starfield in the north into a buffer zone.

...

At the same time—

In the region of the Truth Universe.

Divine light spread across the endless Star Sea. Merging with the origin of the laws and the rules of the universe, it gave rise to countless brand-new domains out of thin air.

At the core of the Truth Universe region, within the Chaotic Dome of the Igri River of Stars, a hazy divine radiance hovered in the air, covering a range that spanned countless chaotic seas of stars.

At the center of that vast expanse, a vortex slowly revolved—one as large as a hundred Eastern Starfields combined. Within it, mysterious patterns intertwined and took shape.

Under that overwhelming pressure, even quasi-Eternal Sages were forced to their knees, their hearts trembling uncontrollably.

"This is the aura of the world where that supreme existence resides!"

Standing at the distant edge, a white-haired old man sensed the aura within the vortex. Alongside fear and wariness, a trace of delight rose in his heart.

The former supreme existence had once carried this very same aura.

If that was the case, then the appearance of this aura had to be connected to the world where that supreme being dwelled.

And that also meant that, at long last, they had a chance to glimpse the true face of that world.

Was that not the ultimate pursuit of all experts within the endless Star Sea?

"Ancestor, can you tell what is happening?"

One expert after another arrived behind the old man and stood there respectfully.

They were the Primordial Race of the Truth Universe region—a mighty race capable of creating universes, with foundations far more terrifying than any force in the Star Sea.

After all, throughout the entire endless Star Sea, many star domains—including the Endless Starlight Isle—had been created by them.

Many powerful and ancient factions had also originated from their lineage.

In other words, they were the earliest native inhabitants of this great universe.

Because of that, they had benefited more deeply than anyone else from the upheaval brought by this divine light.

Many experts of the Primordial Race had even broken through as a result of it.

"I understand now... take the clansmen and withdraw from this place first."

Unexpectedly, the white-haired elder gave such an order.

Though the many Primordial experts did not understand, none of them objected.

They all knew the old man’s caution, and they all understood that he must have sensed something extraordinary.

"By the way, the Rivera Demon Race and the Forbidden Domain of the Gods have also sent people."

One of the experts offered a reminder.

Rumble—!

The instant his words fell, the revolving vortex suddenly shuddered, and the hazy divine radiance rapidly thickened.

A boundless, resplendent pillar of light crashed down from the depths of the vortex like a divine spear capable of cleaving open heaven and earth, driving straight into the heart of the Star Sea.

The chaotic tidal surge it unleashed rose to an immeasurable height, sweeping in all directions and devouring every trace of light and darkness that drew near.

That violent impact and supreme aura sent the scouts dispatched by the Rivera Demon Race, along with the experts from the Forbidden Domain of the Gods, flying away in all directions.

The bodies of quasi-Eternal Sages shattered inch by inch within the storm, turning into countless motes of starlight.

"Fall back!"

One powerful figure after another reconstructed their sacred bodies in the void, clawing their way back from the brink of death as they retreated with fear-filled eyes.

That pillar of light pierced through the universe like a colossal column supporting heaven and earth, standing eternal and unmoving.

Yet at that very moment, holy light surfaced in every corner of the endless Star Sea.

Within that brilliance, a tender, jade-like leaf was reflected upon the Fate River, gently swaying amid the boundless torrent of destiny.

It exuded an aura beyond the comprehension of the Star Sea.

Those dense and singular laws, together with the eternal essence they carried, were so overwhelming that even across the vast Fate River, all living beings could sense that incomparable sanctity—a holiness that transcended the limits of dimension itself.

"Could that be—"

"The secret of endless eternity!?"

Countless quasi-Eternal Sages, Supreme Sages, quasi-Supreme Sages, even Sage Masters...

It was as if everyone, in some unseen way, had suddenly understood its origin. Blazing desire ignited in their eyes.

This was very likely an eternal divine medicine from the Truth Universe!

"Move out!"

One forbidden existence after another from the Desolate Ancient Era shot forward without hesitation.

"That may be the true secret of eternity. Its aura is exactly the same as that of that supreme existence!"

The experts of the Primordial Era were beside themselves with excitement.

One powerful being after another stepped directly into Star-realm Gates and sped toward the Truth Universe region.

In the chaotic starfields, countless ancient Chaos Giants strode forth.

The quasi-Eternal Sages of the Endless Starlight Isle could no longer hold themselves back.

At this moment, innumerable experts tore open Star-realm Gates at the same time and rushed over at all costs.

Only the Samsara Heaven within the Sanctuary of Rebirth suddenly fell into utter silence.

It completely withdrew every trace of its aura, as though it had never existed at all.

Even fate-sight could no longer detect the slightest trace of it.

Aurek’s gaze reached into the Fate River, attempting to touch that "leaf."

At that moment—

Pantheon suddenly appeared within the Fate River before him, cutting off his attempt to probe the leaf.

It manifested physically within the Star Sea and hovered above the chaotic ocean in front of Aurek.

Aurek’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Had Pantheon not gone after that fragment of oak branch?

Why had it appeared here instead?

And why was it stopping him from observing that leaf?

Could there be some unknown secret hidden within it?

"Your Majesty!"

Alvin and the others crossed through space and arrived as well, staring at Pantheon in equal confusion.

"Withdraw."

Aurek waved a hand.

Alvin and the others hesitated, as if wanting to speak but holding back.

The wondrous laws and supreme aura radiating from that leaf were unmistakably clear.

If they could obtain it, they might be able to glimpse the mystery of eternity.

If the Divine Court led several hundred million quasi-Eternal Sage legions there, it would surely be theirs for the taking.

Yet Aurek remained unmoved.

A mysterious leaf had descended out of nowhere—there was already something deeply strange about that in itself.

Now Pantheon had suddenly appeared to stop him as well. In the end, he chose to trust it.

After all, judging from Pantheon’s actions so far, it had shown no sign of coveting anything from him or standing in opposition to him.

In fact, because of the Goddess of Enchantment, he even held a fair amount of goodwill toward Pantheon.

Besides, he urgently needed to spend his Emperor Points and strengthen himself.

The appearance of that leaf would throw the entire Star Sea into a frenzy of competition, buying him more than enough time.

Compared to the temptation of that mysterious "leaf," exhausting all of his Emperor Points and pushing his own level to an even higher realm was the more pressing priority.
