Summoning Millions of Gods Daily, My Strength Equals Theirs Combined Chapter 656 -656-The Primordial Progenitor’s Choice

"Looks like the earlier turmoil in the Truth Universe region is tied to this."

The Amethyst King pondered inwardly.

Aurek’s expression grew solemn as well.

Evidently, this aura had surpassed a critical threshold. It surpassed in terror even the enigmatic entity linked to that oak branch fragment.

Beneath the crushing weight of that horrifying presence, the infinite Fate River was compelled to reveal itself.

Aurek thought of Suggwoth, Alvin, Dragon Emperor Kairos, and the rest of the powerhouses.

"Your Majesty, the fortune across the whole Star Sea is experiencing a fierce turmoil. It’s disrupted the Fate River, and the destiny threads weaving through the void have plunged into disorder."

"This occasion, I suspect an event will unfold that defies the bounds of the Star Sea’s destiny itself."

Having finished his divination, Alvin had detected the irregularity too.

It represented an inconceivable turn. Although the omens remained indistinct, they harbored a peril beyond anyone’s prediction.

Aurek commanded fate and fortune alike. Though not a true master of divination, he could still faintly perceive some of the oddities.

He faced Suggwoth and commanded, "Starting now, have all Crossbridge Legions secure the northern star domains. Refrain from any further actions for the moment."

"Furthermore, send two hundred million quasi-Eternal Sage elites to defend the Endless River."

"As you command!"

Suggwoth bowed deeply and received the directive.

Aurek provided no additional words.

This instance, he too had felt that ineffable aura, and for the first time, a flicker of anxiety stirred within him.

He needed to expend his Emperor Points and advance rapidly—he had to attain Eternal Sage rank without delay, or maybe even go beyond.

To counter potential surprises, he intended to establish the Endless River as a barrier, fortifying it with a massive force to safeguard the Divine Court’s core, while designating the northern Endless Starfield entirely as a buffer area.

...

Meanwhile—

In the Truth Universe region.

Divine radiance blanketed the boundless Star Sea. Fusing with the universe’s law origins and rules, it spawned myriad fresh domains from nothing.

At the heart of the Truth Universe region, inside the Chaotic Dome of the Igri River of Stars, a misty divine glow lingered overhead, enveloping myriad chaotic star seas.

Right in the midst of that immense area, a vortex spun leisurely—one rivaling a hundred Eastern Starfields in size. Mysterious symbols wove together and formed within it.

Under that immense pressure, quasi-Eternal Sages alike dropped to their knees, their souls quaking beyond control.

"This is the aura from the world of that supreme being!"

Positioned far at the periphery, a white-haired elder detected the vortex’s aura. Amid dread and caution, a spark of joy emerged in his heart.

The previous supreme entity had borne this identical aura.

Thus, this aura’s emergence must link to the realm where that supreme power resided.

Which implied that finally, they might behold the authentic visage of that world.

Wasn’t that the supreme quest for every powerhouse in the endless Star Sea?

"Ancestor, do you know what’s transpiring?"

Expert after expert gathered respectfully behind the elder.

They hailed from the Primordial Race of the Truth Universe region—a formidable lineage that forged universes, boasting foundations dwarfing any Star Sea faction.

Indeed, across the vast endless Star Sea, domains like the Endless Starlight Isle had sprung from their hands.

Numerous mighty ancient sects also traced their roots to this bloodline.

Simply put, they were the primordial natives of this grand cosmos.

Hence, they reaped the greatest gains from this divine light’s upheaval.

Several Primordial Race experts had even achieved breakthroughs thanks to it.

"I see it clearly now... lead the clansmen away from here first."

Surprisingly, the white-haired elder issued this command.

Though the Primordial experts puzzled over it, not one raised dissent.

They recognized the elder’s prudence and knew he had perceived something profound.

"Incidentally, scouts from the Rivera Demon Race and Forbidden Domain of the Gods have arrived too."

An expert chimed in with the update.

Rumble—!

The moment his voice faded, the spinning vortex quaked abruptly, as the misty divine glow surged denser.

A limitless, dazzling light pillar plunged from the vortex’s depths like a godly lance splitting heavens and earth, slamming into the Star Sea’s core.

The chaotic waves it triggered soared to unfathomable heights, surging outward and consuming all nearby light and shadow.

That ferocious clash and supreme presence hurled the Rivera Demon Race scouts, plus Forbidden Domain of the Gods experts, scattering wildly.

Quasi-Eternal Sages’ forms crumbled piece by piece in the tempest, dissolving into myriad starlight specks.

"Retreat!"

One mighty entity after another reformed their divine bodies amid the void, barely escaping annihilation as they fled with terror-stricken gazes.

That light pillar impaled the universe akin to a titanic pillar upholding sky and ground, enduring eternally without stir.

But precisely then, sacred light bloomed across every nook of the endless Star Sea.

Amid that splendor, a delicate jade leaf mirrored on the Fate River, softly undulating in the endless destiny flood.

It radiated an aura defying Star Sea comprehension.

Those profound, unique laws, laced with timeless essence, proved so overpowering that even over the sprawling Fate River, every being sensed that peerless holiness—a sanctity eclipsing dimensional bounds.

"Is that—"

"The enigma of boundless eternity!?"

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

As though by some hidden intuition, all grasped its source. Ravenous craving blazed in their gazes.

This seemed undoubtedly an eternal divine herb from the Truth Universe!

"Charge!"

Forbidden beings from the Desolate Ancient Era surged ahead relentlessly.

"That could be eternity’s genuine mystery. Its aura matches perfectly that supreme existence’s!"

Primordial Era powerhouses thrilled with frenzy.

Potent figures one by one activated Star-realm Gates and raced to the Truth Universe region.

Amid turbulent starfields, myriad ancient Chaos Giants marched out.

Endless Starlight Isle’s quasi-Eternal Sages could restrain themselves no longer.

In this instant, endless experts ripped open Star-realm Gates simultaneously, hurtling toward it heedless of cost.

Solely the Samsara Heaven in the Sanctuary of Rebirth plunged into total quiet.

It erased every hint of its presence, as if it had never been.

Not even fate-vision could trace it anymore.

Aurek peered into the Fate River, striving to contact that "leaf."

Right then—

Pantheon materialized abruptly in the Fate River ahead of him, blocking his probe of the leaf.

It took solid form in the Star Sea, floating over the chaotic sea before Aurek.

Aurek’s eyes tightened faintly.

Hadn’t Pantheon pursued that oak branch fragment?

Why manifest here now?

And why block his view of that leaf?

Did it conceal some hidden truth?

"Your Majesty!"

Alvin and companions traversed space to join him, gazing at Pantheon with matching bewilderment.

"Pull back."

Aurek gestured dismissively.

Alvin and the rest wavered, seeming eager to argue yet silent.

The extraordinary laws and supreme aura from that leaf shone indisputably vivid.

Seizing it could unveil eternity’s secret.

With the Divine Court’s hundreds of millions of quasi-Eternal Sage troops, victory seemed assured.

Still, Aurek stood firm.

A bizarre leaf dropping from nowhere already screamed anomaly.

Now Pantheon intervened too. Ultimately, he opted to heed it.

After all, Pantheon’s prior deeds showed no greed toward him or hostility.

Moreover, thanks to the Goddess of Enchantment, he harbored considerable favor for Pantheon.

Plus, he desperately required spending his Emperor Points to bolster his power.

That leaf’s arrival would ignite a Star Sea-wide scramble, granting him ample time.

Over the allure of that enigmatic "leaf," depleting every Emperor Point to elevate his realm took precedence.
