Summoning Millions of Gods Daily, My Strength Equals Theirs Combined Chapter 641 -641-Activating the Endless Starlight Shield

Along the perimeter of the Arcane Godsea, a growing multitude of formidable powerhouses converged, their collective aura manifesting as a suffocating weight upon the surroundings.

Across the entirety of Endless Starlight Isle, every individual at the Supreme Sage Rank turned their attention toward the Arcane Godsea, anticipating the impending arrival of significant developments.

Before long, Celestian Artharion, positioned at the vanguard, surveyed the gathered assembly and broke the profound silence.

"The Starlight Clock has tolled. While I am certain you understand the general circumstances, there exist hidden details that remain obscure to many—this is precisely why the alarm sounded nine times."

"Is this concern regarding the one billion strong Supreme Sage Rank legion of the Crossbridge Divine Court?"

A voice, resonant as a tolling bell, emanated from an ancient quasi-Eternal Sage Rank associated with the Holy Alliance.

Artharion responded, "For the specifics of this matter, I shall defer to the expertise of the Standarin Universe’s quasi-Eternal Sage Ranks."

Three quasi-Eternal Sage Ranks belonging to the Standarin Universe bowed with grave demeanor toward the assembled powers, their faces etched with solemnity.

"The Crossbridge Divine Court has successfully infiltrated one hundred million Supreme Sage Rank specialists into Endless Starlight Isle, specifically targeting the Azurejay Palace alongside various other factions of the Supreme Sage Rank. You are doubtlessly the most keenly aware of the gravity of this situation."

He pivoted to look at the quasi-Eternal Sage Ranks from Azurejay Palace. Witnessing their disheveled appearances and visible state of distress was enough for everyone present to grasp the reality of their plight without a single word being uttered.

The Standarin representative continued,

"Many of you have surely heard that the Crossbridge Divine Court commands one billion Supreme Sage Rank, that Aurek has achieved the quasi-Eternal Sage Rank, and that he oversees legions of elite generals—each of these claims is entirely accurate."

"However, I have a necessary correction to offer... the legions serving Aurek number not merely one billion, but rather an utterly incomprehensible figure of... ten billion!"

"And that estimation excludes the additional hundred billion Sage Masters and those hovering at the quasi-Supreme Sage Rank."

Boom—!

This revelation detonated like a shockwave through the gathered crowd. Faces drained of color, frantic whispers erupted, and an atmosphere of stark disbelief and terror blanketed the area.

The heads representing the Arcane God Mountain, the Blazing Divine Court, and the Soul Sanctum felt their countenances twitch involuntarily at the terrifying report.

Previously, they had jokingly speculated, "Is it truly possible for the Crossbridge Divine Court to field ten billion Supreme Sage Rank?"

Now... the nightmare had become reality.

A mere forty-eight hours had elapsed!

Should they be granted decades of time, could Aurek potentially manifest legions numbering in the hundreds of billions?

What degree of sorcery was this? Could even the deepest secrets of the Eternal realm yield such miraculous results?

Although few had personally encountered an Eternal entity or fully comprehended such power, witnessing the growth of tens of billions of Supreme Sage Rank within two days rendered the word "unimaginable" a gross understatement.

Regardless of how they attempted to rationalize these events, their thoughts spiraled into absolute confusion.

A heavy, chilling silence reclaimed the Arcane Godsea; one could practically hear a needle drop.

Numerous ancient quasi-Eternal Sage Ranks, having only recently awoken from their slumber, felt as though they were attempting to decipher a nonsensical divine scripture.

One moment the threat was a billion; the next, it blossomed to ten billion?

Was the cultivation of a Supreme Sage Rank now as trivial as harvesting weeds beside a road?

They stole glances at their neighboring quasi-Eternal Sage Ranks, desperately seeking confirmation that their ears had not deceived them.

Following a more detailed explanation, the mouths of these ageless veterans fell agape in genuine shock, their eyes expanding as if they were beholding the most absurd myth ever recorded in history.

"Is this truly... the reality?"

The Lord of the Soul Sanctum struggled to suppress the palpitations of his heart as he sought further clarification from a Standarin quasi-Eternal Sage Rank.

The Standarin quasi-Eternal Sage Rank nodded, his voice tinged with irredeemable helplessness.

"The legions of the Crossbridge Divine Court have already pushed into the territories of the Standarin Universe. Even the Illusionary Nebula proved incapable of halting them. Currently, they occupy the northern frontier of Endless Starlight Isle."

"Based on the steady advance of those one hundred million Supreme Sage Rank specialists, I have concluded that Aurek intends to launch his primary breach from that exact corridor."

At that revelation, the northern guardians of Endless Starlight Isle—including the Lord of the Soul Sanctum and the leaders of the Arcane God Mountain and Blazing Divine Court—turned as pale as bleached parchment.

The influential figures from Celestian, Beaststar Sylvan, the Council of Kunkar, the Fate Monarch Court, and the Oblivion Sanctum locked eyes in tense, heavy silence.

Artharion ultimately broke the deadlock, his tone as unyielding as iron:

"Ten billion Supreme Sage Rank—such a force is undeniably capable of crushing any existing faction."

"I advise that we immediately initiate the Endless Starlight Shield to safeguard the isle. We cannot permit the Crossbridge Divine Court to seize control here."

"Let us rally the might of every star domain to utterly eradicate this ten-billion-strong legion and excise the anomaly that is Aurek from the Fate River for all eternity."

"We agree!"

As soon as Artharion concluded his statement, the Lord of the Soul Sanctum stepped forward. Positioned in the north, the Soul Sanctum stood as the literal frontline against the inexorable creep of the Crossbridge Divine Court.

The quasi-Eternal Sage Ranks of the Blazing Divine Court, Arcane God Mountain, and Azurejay Palace similarly signaled their total support.

"We are also in total agreement: activate the Endless Starlight Shield without delay!"

Every soul present recognized the severity of the situation.

The Endless Starlight Shield functioned as the final rampart of this Star Sea. Utilising the raw, primordial energies of the Arcane Godsea, it merged with the Fate River—which spanned billions of star systems across the isle—while integrating the compiled wisdom and techniques of countless civilizations spanning millennia. Often described as the Immortal Shield, it was originally forged by mysterious, taboo entities.

Rumors persisted that those architects were, in fact, the legendary Eternal Sage Rank themselves.

For this reason, the tier surpassing the quasi-Eternal Sage Rank was widely known throughout the world, even though no living soul had ever witnessed these taboo beings firsthand.

Some went so far as to claim that Endless Starlight Isle owed its very existence to this protective barrier.

With more factions choosing to settle there, the Endless Starlight Shield only grew in density and durability.

Historically, even when the Primordial River Cosmos unleashed its armies against Endless Starlight Isle, they failed to compromise the shield after hundreds of thousands of years of constant warfare.

Now, however, Endless Starlight Isle had expanded significantly, and its defenses were theoretically beyond comprehension.

The threat posed by a ten-billion-strong legion of Supreme Sage Rank rivaled the scale of the crisis presented by the Primordial River era.

And yet, the factions constituting Endless Starlight Isle remained dangerously fragmented. They were compelled to bolster their position with the shield before attempting any counter-offensive.

Waiting to activate the barrier only after sustaining heavy losses would surely be an exercise in futility.

A consensus was reached with remarkable speed.

At that juncture, the Old Secret God of Beaststar Sylvan voiced his opinion:

"Prior to taking that action, we must prioritize the elimination of the one hundred million Supreme Sage Rank specialists the Crossbridge Divine Court has already managed to insert throughout Endless Starlight Isle."

"Each faction should contribute ten units of Supreme Sage Rank and one of their quasi-Eternal Sage Ranks to this effort."

While these elite factions might only possess a dozen or twenty quasi-Eternal Sage Ranks individually, the scale of their star domains reached across billions of systems.

Every system contained formidable guards and powers. Consolidating all such latent strength would result in a truly terrifying display of force.

"To contend with the Crossbridge Divine Court, our strike must be preemptive!"

A quasi-Eternal Sage Rank from the Azurejay Palace provided a grave warning:

"Do not overlook the fact that Aurek himself is baffling beyond all measure. Who among us can guarantee that, within a few short years, he will not manifest an even more unfathomable legion?"

"We must act with urgency. Speed is our greatest ally. Once you have returned to your respective sects, mobilize all potential assets to destroy Aurek in one decisive, overwhelming blow."

His grim prediction caused every quasi-Eternal Sage Rank in attendance to furrow their brows in deep contemplation.

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

And now, ten billion.

Would it eventually reach one hundred billion?

None dared to speculate.

Nevertheless, it was far safer to anticipate such a possibility than to be utterly blindsided when the day arrived. Every faction was now forced to prepare for that grim inevitability.
