Summoning Millions of Gods Daily, My Strength Equals Theirs Combined

Chapter 674: Chapter674-The First to Advance to Eternal Sage Rank by His Own Power

"Th-That’s it? It’s over just like that?"

Ancestor Amir hid within the undercurrent of the Fate River, watching everything unfold with his own eyes. A strange sense of relief suddenly welled up in his heart.

It felt as though he had just made a round trip to the gates of death and somehow returned alive.

The Children of Commandment had fled without a trace, and the angels had been slaughtered to the last one. In an instant, the two mountains that had been weighing on his chest were gone.

He turned to look in the other direction, but all that remained on his face was a bitter smile.

Who among them had not heard the legends of Aurek?

Everyone knew that this emperor held secrets beyond imagination in his hands, secrets that allowed him to cultivate armies capable of destroying heaven and earth.

But even if someone had beaten Amir to death, he still would never have imagined that Aurek could actually nurture beings that surpassed Eternal Sage Rank!

And not just one or two, but a full million of them, enough to crush the entire Star Sea into submission.

Looking back on the little schemes he had entertained in the past, Ancestor Amir felt he had practically been courting death.

Now, Aurek’s power had already surpassed the limits of his understanding.

The legends surrounding this emperor were destined to become an eternal myth across the entire Star Sea.

Who would still dare offend him?

The consequences were right there before everyone’s eyes...

He glanced at the corpses of angels hanging before the Tablet of Destiny.

This was the consequence.

"From this day forward, in the boundless Star Sea, Aurek shall stand as the number one existence—the sole ruler this Star Sea has seen since the day it was born!"

Primordial Elder could not help but sigh in admiration.

At this point, the appearance of that million-strong army had already numbed them somewhat.

For one thing, the limits of their understanding only reached Eternal Sage Rank.

Above Eternal Sage Rank, there were Divine Revelant, Godtouched, Authority Wielders... but as for how terrifying those ranks truly were, they had no concept at all.

And precisely because they did not understand, they could not fully feel the despair such power should evoke.

For another, they had already been bombarded too many times by absurd numbers—trillions upon trillions of quasi-supreme sage rank beings, hundreds of billions of supreme sage rank beings, hundreds of billions of quasi-eternal sage rank beings...

They had been shaken so many times already that they had never truly recovered. Now, seeing something like this, they were almost used to it.

Within Endless Starlight Island, the rulers of countless starfield factions had already taken the initiative to surrender.

Balance Sage, Amethyst, the Coffin-Burial Monarch, and the others no longer dared to harbor even the slightest ulterior thought.

...

In the starry sky of the myriad races—

Twelfth Layer Aetherian Sanctuary, Supreme Sanctuary.

Aurek’s eyes burst forth with dazzling golden light.

Across the starry sky of the myriad races, the boundless Fate River emerged, illuminating the entire Divine Sanctuary until it shone brilliantly.

The Judge, the God of Order, and the other powerful beings all changed expression when they saw this phenomenon.

Because this was the sign of Eternal Sage Rank: the manifestation of fate itself, the bearing of Heaven’s Mandate.

Which meant that this emperor had used only seven or eight years to rise all the way to Eternal Sage Rank!

Through endless eras, he was the first true Eternal Sage who had advanced by relying on his own strength.

This glory alone was enough to illuminate the entire endless Star Sea.

Inside the Divine Sanctuary, endless fortune and the power of fate descended over Josephine and the other imperial consorts.

They too benefited from it, their ranks rising rapidly.

The ministers of the Crossbridge Divine Court were also blessed by supreme fortune, a grace that would extend even to their descendants.

Aurek had indeed broken through to Eternal Sage Rank.

And after absorbing an immeasurable quantity of Emperor Points, his power had also risen to the initial stage of Godtouched!

If he consumed all of the Emperor Points he currently possessed, it would be enough to push him into the transcendent stage.

He glanced at the information panel.

His Emperor Points had actually reached twenty million zhao-yi!

That total even included the holy angels and saints he had killed back in Primordial River Cosmos.

With so many Emperor Points, it was more than enough to raise his strength all the way to the Origin Source Realm of an Authority Wielder.

"The destruction of a hundred thousand holy angels will definitely provoke Heaven into sending down even stronger angels. They may even dispatch Thrones or Cherubim. What comes next will be the real trouble."

"This step truly was risky... but it was the only step I could take."

Aurek calculated silently to himself.

Even he had to admit that he was dancing on the edge of a blade.

After all, Heaven possessed Origin-Returning Realm Cherubim at the Authority Wielder level—existences capable of deciding the birth and death of all things with a single thought.

But beings of that level would ordinarily not act personally unless faced with a truly colossal threat.

That was why Aurek had used only a million troops.

Time was pressing. He continued his advancement by opening the Time Domain.

After Eternal Sage Rank, the further steps toward Divine Revelant and Godtouched all required endless comprehension of the heart and mind in order to complete the true transformation.

At the same time, in terms of actual battle strength, Aurek was also rapidly consuming Emperor Points, planning to charge all the way into the Authority Wielder realm in one breath.

Calming his mind, Aurek entered a meditative state.

And just then, in the crystalline Moonshine Hall—

That cocoon of light began to tremble.

Layer after layer, it started to peel away, as if something inside were about to emerge from its chrysalis.

Beams of fortune-light streamed into the cocoon one after another.

Josephine and the others could vaguely make out a figure seated cross-legged within it, with a glowing mark radiating light from the center of the figure’s brow.

Not only that, but even the origin of the rules and order of the Divine Sanctuary seemed to sense it, manifesting endless multicolored light across the sky.

"What is going on? This aura feels very unfamiliar..."

"Is little Beyoncé about to awaken? But after waking up, will she still be Beyoncé... or will she become that Stellar Saint-Emperor?"

The imperial consorts looked at one another in bewilderment.

Belinda’s eyes shimmered with anticipation, but also with a trace of nervousness.

She truly liked that little girl who used to chatter around her all day long.

If, upon awakening, she forgot all of that, then what kind of state of mind should Belinda use to face her?

...

Supreme Sanctuary.

Aurek also spared a bit of attention for the matter, but he was not surprised.

After all, this Divine Sanctuary had been built by Beyoncé’s former self, the Stellar Saint-Emperor, under arrangements made by that supreme existence.

Perhaps once Beyoncé awakened, she would finally learn the secret of the Divine Sanctuary.

But what exactly was that secret?

Even now, Aurek had been unable to see it.

One had to understand that his rank was on the verge of stepping into Divine Revelant, and his true battle strength had already reached Godtouched. Yet he still could not investigate the truth behind it.

This secret was hidden far too deeply.

If it turned out to be a hidden calamity, then the threat it posed to him would be enormous.

It had to be said—this was one of the few things about living within this Divine Sanctuary that left Aurek feeling deeply uneasy.

"Go investigate Beyoncé’s origins. See whether you can uncover the circumstances surrounding the construction of the Divine Sanctuary. Search carefully for any secret that may be hidden inside it."

Aurek transmitted an order, instructing the void warlocks to investigate.

Now that all of them were at the Godtouched level, a single thought was enough for them to traverse the river of spacetime.

As long as they knew Beyoncé’s true name, they could travel back several million years to the era of the Stellar Divine Court and examine the past directly.

The moment they received the order, thousands of void warlocks immediately opened the river of spacetime. Having grasped the profundities of space, they had become even more skillful in manipulating it.

After obtaining Beyoncé’s line of fate and true name, they stepped directly into the Fate River.

As long as they followed the trail backward and found the specific point in time when the Divine Sanctuary had been constructed, they would be able to cross over into that era.

Even so, it remained an extremely long and difficult process.

A time span of several million years was not merely a matter of duration.

More importantly, the Fate River was boundless and endless—the aggregate of all living beings.

Within it, Beyoncé did not even count as an ant.

It was like searching for a needle in the ocean.

Without knowing her true name and her line of fate, finding her would have been utterly impossible.
