Buzz—!
Within the domain of The Luminous Land of Nasei, unusual waves stirred across the Sea of Chaos.
These weren't mere water disturbances, but cries emanating from the very laws governing existence.
The whole chaos quaked in eerie silence, as though the emptiness itself recoiled from an unfathomable destruction.
A swirling maelstrom ripped apart the void.
The Gate of the Universe flung open, resembling the yawning maw of the abyss awakening.
The Sword-Sea Emperor emerged, surrounded by the Cursed Swords that howled like ravenous predators.
He cast his eyes over the landscape, his brow furrowing in displeasure.
Initially, he believed he had erred in his navigation.
Acting swiftly, he shattered the void once more and entered the Gate of the Universe again, aiming for a farther destination.
However, shortly thereafter...
Perplexed, he reactivated the gate and discovered he was right back at the original position!
His gaze sharpened, a flicker of uncommon uncertainty crossing his features.
"This... ought to be close to the edge of The Luminous Land of Nasei."
He examined the surroundings, his tone laced with unusual confusion.
"Where... exactly is The Luminous Land of Nasei?"
"How peculiar. Did I somehow veer off course?"
Nothing but silence answered, surrounded by a barren, lifeless emptiness.
No glow, no stirrings of law, no hints of vitality.
Even the core of the chaos had been utterly wiped out, reduced to stark, total nothingness.
He dismissed any notions of the supernatural.
Delving through the chaos multiple times, cross-referencing various ancient spacetime markers, he ended up at the identical place, staring intently at the void with a creased forehead.
He sank into profound contemplation.
The error wasn't his.
Rather, The Luminous Land of Nasei... had disappeared entirely!
An immense universe enduring through endless ages had inexplicably vanished—not a single particle lingered.
Positioned amid the Sea of Chaos, a sudden icy gust brushed by him.
This wind, typically shapeless and intangible, made his frame shudder reflexively.
A primordial chill, embedded in the depths of his essence, crept along his back.
"Is it possible... that the Crossbridge Divine Court orchestrated this?"
The Sword-Sea Emperor recalled that entity, only to dismiss the idea outright.
"No. That can't be!"
"Even with Aurek mobilizing his hundred-billion quasi-Emperyan troops, they couldn't obliterate a whole Light Universe completely. Besides, the Elder Sovereign isn't one to underestimate; if conflict truly erupted, remnants would surely persist."
He halted briefly, then considered an alternative theory.
"Perhaps the Elder Sovereign escaped, hauling the entirety of The Luminous Land of Nasei along?"
After pondering it, he denied the possibility with a shake of his head.
"Such a cowardly being. It's no surprise he bolted from a handful of emerging Divine Court powers back then."
"Irrelevant now. His loss changes little. The coalition forces are more than adequate. Time to confront Aurek."
Recalling the inconceivable mystery held by Aurek, the Sword-Sea Emperor's eyes blazed with fierce intensity.
Shattering the Level-8 barrier eight times within one year...
He could vividly envision that claiming this mystery would let him shoulder Heaven's will, advancing that vital half-step toward Eternal sage rank!
In that case, he would rise to the zenith of the boundless Star Sea.
Every creature and force would kneel in deference!
No time lost, the Sword-Sea Emperor morphed into a ray of sword-light slashing through the void, speeding toward the Sword Universe.
Yet he overlooked that, in the profound reaches of that void universe, the Elder Sovereign's fractured remains, resembling fire-blackened twigs from celestial flames, floated languidly in the Star Sea...
In the direst instant, the Elder Sovereign had concealed himself within the Fate River.
As a quasi-Eternal sage rank entity, he barely evaded the fatal strike.
A remnant of his awareness quivered within the fractures of the Eternal River.
The fate's disaster reshaped the Threads of Fate into thunderbolts of destiny, doggedly pursuing his lingering consciousness to uproot him from the foundation of being.
He detected the Sword-Sea Emperor's approach.
But aware the Emperor headed toward doom, he refrained from exposing his fragile existence to alert him.
Other mighty figures arrived to probe as well, each departing with puzzled looks after detecting naught.
...
Origin Sword Sea, within the Sanctuary.
[Defeating myriad foes, Emperor Points +700 trillion...]
The Luminous Land of Nasei's base proved far inferior to the Sword Universe's, with its mighty ones mostly mediocre, yielding somewhat fewer points than prior gains.
Combined with earlier reserves, these sufficed for Aurek to surge into quasi-Eternal sage rank in a single leap!
He persisted in examining Hand of Fate, expending Emperor Points to surge his power wildly.
With his might expanding, his level ascended swiftly!
His grasp of the trio—Fate, Luck, and Emperor’s Power—skyrocketed.
Delving into Hand of Fate yielded extra advantages, enabling deeper incursions into the Fate River and honing his mental realm!
His mirror clone materialized on the hovering sanctuary platform beyond the primary chamber.
Innumerable rays of brilliance gathered, forming a colossal silhouette in the emptiness.
"Long live His Majesty!"
Generals and officials bowed together, their chorus roaring like an ocean swell.
Aurek surveyed them, observing that nearly all had bolstered their strengths considerably.
"Has the regional status been thoroughly scouted?"
Golden Armor advanced, inclining his head respectfully.
"Your Majesty, the Sword Universe resides north of the Arcane Divine Sea. Adjacent realms include the Senllo Universe, Sanctuary of Rebirth, the City of Rock, the Stanford Clan, the Forbidden Lands, and The Luminous Land of Nasei. They claim vast cosmic assets, each realm rich with ancient heritage and brimming with formidable entities."
He stopped momentarily, detailing the gathered intel.
"In the Senllo Universe stands the Sanluo Sanctuary inheritance, focused on clone-derived divine techniques. Its originator, the God of Slaughter, surpasses the Sword-Sea Emperor in quasi-Eternal sage rank age, wielding eight incarnations, each rivaling Level-9 Supreme sage rank."
"The City of Rock controls two universes, harboring two quasi-Eternal sage ranks."
"The Sanctuary of Rebirth hosts three quasi-Eternal sage ranks, plus an enigmatic Wheel of Reincarnation of unknown depths."
"Similar protections by quasi-Eternal sage ranks shield all other areas."
"Farther chaotic universes near the Endless Starlight Island present intricate conditions, with the Shadow Guild laboring to uncover details."
...
Such was the configuration of the Endless Star Sea universe.
The Miliverse of Ten Thousand Races amounted to a mere trivial chaotic realm inside it.
Sword Universe, Senllo Universe... myriads more thrived!
And the Endless Starlight Island, its title alone evoking immensity and intricacy.
Situated nearest the Arcane Divine Sea, it concealed myriad cosmic domains, inheritances, and eons-old bases...
Aurek absorbed Golden Armor's briefing, his eyes profound and enigmatic.
Golden Armor pressed on:
"Moreover, probes reveal the Sword-Sea Emperor conferred with the Senllo Universe and City of Rock, holding clandestine talks with several quasi-Eternal sage ranks. I believe he's forging an alliance to assault the Divine Court."
"No belief required," Alvin's voice declared, brimming with unyielding conviction.
"Your Majesty’s revelation of prowess might have daunted the Sword-Sea Emperor, yet avarice doesn't fade lightly. Those encounters with quasi-Eternal sage ranks were to conspire against you."
Quietness descended.
Even their aides perceived the intangible terror enveloping their ruler.
Everyone recognized Aurek possessed unmatched, cosmos-rending enigmas.
Still, none ventured more words.
But the Sword-Sea Emperor and fellow quasi-Eternal sage ranks, each yearning for Heaven’s mandate, lacked such restraint.
"Quasi-Eternal sage ranks? Banding together against me?"
A sinister smile curved Aurek’s lips, akin to an emperor beholding insects.
"Very well... we'll see what unfolds."
