Summoning Millions of Gods Daily, My Strength Equals Theirs Combined Chapter 677 -677-The Heavenly Host of Paradise, Epps the Lost Soul

Winston, Heimerdinger, and the rest traded looks, bitter grins forming on their faces.

Previously, they griped about their domain being too tiny. Yet now, with the boundless Star Sea fully under their control, its scale had grown so enormous that they were at a loss on how to start.

They had no choice but to copy the approaches of the Starfont Divine Court and Samsara Divine Court—permitting regional autonomy, or setting up oversight bodies.

Nevertheless, such efforts would likely amount to just a tiny splash in the vastness.

The Star Sea’s expanse was utterly colossal.

"No need to fret excessively over these issues."

Aurek kept his face serene. "I shall bestow divine powers and employ the Holy Law to rule over the whole Crossbridge realm."

His unflappable demeanor stemmed first from the fact that, in merely half a month, over ten billion Eternal Sage Rank soldiers had been nurtured.

One per starfield—who would dare to rebel?

Moreover, Godtouched-level void warlocks and Doomsday Warriors numbered more than one hundred billion!

A lone one could dominate a vast region of the Star Sea.

Unleashing a hundred billion Godtouched forces at once would likely shatter this Star Sea entirely!

Secondly, with the infinite Star Sea now wholly in his possession, the Crossbridge Divine Court’s national destiny had amassed the universe’s boundless fortune.

Drawing on that ultimate might, he could even approach the pinnacle levels of an Initial Origin God.

This very assurance empowered him to plot against Heaven itself.

Additionally, Royal Grace let him grant noble ranks across the Divine Court’s starfields.

For instance, in the Arcane Godsea of Endless Starlight Island, he might designate an Arcane Sea God to oversee it.

Endless Starlight Island could receive a Guardian of the Star Isle.

Every starfield might gain a Realm Guardian.

The Endless River could be awarded an Originless River God...

Managing the lands this way would save him immense hassle.

Winston, Heimerdinger, and others fully grasped the outrageous potency of Aurek’s investiture techniques, so they held their tongues.

Venus was on the verge of updating on Heaven’s activities.

Right then—

BOOM—!

The twelve-layered Aetherian Sanctuary quaked fiercely all of a sudden.

A wave of supreme pressure crashed through the entire endless Star Sea like a tsunami.

Not just the Divine Sanctuary—the starry skies of all myriad races started shuddering wildly too.

Within the sacred hall,

Winston, Heimerdinger, and the rest sensed the world-shaking upheavals outside with solemn faces, already deducing the cause.

The Crusader Goddess and Eternal Blazing Sun turned their gazes to Aurek on the throne.

"Seal off the Endless River."

Aurek issued his Sacred Envoy command.

Apollo bowed in acceptance and retreated at once.

Instantly, the Sacred Envoy decree propagated everywhere. Over one hundred billion Godtouched troops swiftly formed an unbreakable defensive barrier along the Endless River.

BOOM—!

With a flick of Aurek’s sleeve, he traversed the Fate River and landed on Endless Starlight Island in a flash.

"Amen..."

From Primordial River Cosmos came endless holy chants surging like waves. Divine glow erupted skyward, gilding the chaotic firmament in gold.

Holy blossoms unfurled, radiating infinite light akin to stars lighting up the cosmic realms.

Amid that divine luster, towering hundreds of millions of meters, angels unfurled wings and soared one after another.

Cry—!

Trailing the angels, countless sacred birds raised heads and trilled to the heavens, their forms aglow with golden splendor.

Their cries resounded across the Endless Starfields.

That was Paradise’s Heavenly Host, joined by three million holy angels.

The Fate River was compelled to materialize as their foothold.

All the myriad beings forming the Fate River lay crushed beneath it.

Pfft—!

In the distance, the Balance Sage abruptly coughed up blood, horror etching his features.

Though nearing Eternal Sage Rank, he remained trapped under the Fate River’s oppression.

These angels’ arrival fully subjugated the Primordial River Cosmos segment of the Fate River, inflicting massive backlash on him too.

"This time, there are... too many foes!"

"What sort of powerhouse have we offended?"

The Stellar Sovereign’s tone quivered, dread nearly manifesting visibly.

Not just the Balance Sage—every one of them endured the suppression.

Almost every part of the boundless Star Sea, along with every being inside it, sensed that horrifying pressure.

An underlying wave of terror also swept through, making souls quiver without restraint.

Top powerhouses from factions throughout the Star Sea converged like a flood toward the heart of Endless Starlight Island.

War tensions mounted deep inside the island.

"Form ranks—meet the enemy!"

Suggwoth, Ares, and the Dragon Emperor bellowed like thunderclaps, their commands echoing across the void.

Myriad armies rushed forth like raging rivers, blanketing the skies and lands.

This wasn't the earlier one million Godtouched—

but a massive force of 6.6 billion Godtouched soldiers!

Boom!

The heavens cracked open as a godly chariot ripped through the chaos and appeared over the Star Sea.

Wealth amassed into a gigantic golden dragon that reared up and let out a furious roar, splitting the firmament.

A celestial stairway built from destiny and dominion ascended from nothingness, reaching up to the ultimate throne.

Aurek—the highest lord of the Crossbridge Divine Court—climbed the stairway and positioned himself high above the celestial heights.

In that moment,

Suggwoth, Ares, Dragon Emperor Kairos, Overthunder, and the rest of the commanders simultaneously turned and knelt toward the silhouette on that celestial stair.

"We pay homage to You, our King!"

Primordial Elder, the Stellar Sovereign, the two taboos of the Arcane Godsea... those Eternal Sage Rank entities who endured through countless eras, plus Amethyst, Ancestor Amir, and other venerable experts, all advanced step by step to perform the gravest salutes of allegiance to Aurek.

Right then—

Cycle Heaven.

Primeval motifs of demise and rebirth abruptly surfaced, glowing with brilliant radiance.

Beneath the gazes of the Samsara Emperor and his companions, a spectral form shot out from Cycle Heaven's profoundest depths and raced directly to Endless Starlight Island.

That ultimate presence caused the entire Sanctuary of Rebirth—every patch of ground and every life—to shudder.

"That is... an Eternal Sage Rank?"

The Undying Demon God's eyes shrank in shock, refusing to accept the sight.

The Hell Tyrant gave a quiet nod.

Rumors had reached him long ago of a lofty forbidden being concealed in Cycle Heaven's core, though he'd never witnessed its actual appearance.

The scene unfolding now verified those age-old tales.

That spectral form passed under the Stairway of Authority, prostrated deeply, and uttered in a remote but deferential tone:

"Epps, a wandering soul of the multiverse, greets Your Majesty."

"Epps."

Aurek’s eyes flickered faintly as he regarded the figure.

His looks were striking and elegant, but he lacked a corporeal body. He manifested solely as a spirit, hovering betwixt dream and truth.

His level had attained Eternal Sage Rank, with an aura strength exceeding even the Stellar Sovereign and Primordial Elder.

"The multiverse!"

Primordial Elder, the Stellar Sovereign, and the rest locked their fervent stares on Epps instantly.

They'd always detected that immeasurably profound might lurking in Cycle Heaven's abyss, but ignorant of its source, they'd avoided challenging it.

Just now they discovered he hailed from outside this Star Sea entirely.

"What is your relationship with Psyche?"

Aurek inquired abruptly.

Epps quivered entirely and gaped at Aurek in astonishment.

His Majesty knew of Psyche?

Did that mean... this Majesty originated from the multiverse too?

Or had His Majesty’s might swelled to such extremes that he traversed infinite dimensions, breached the Fate River, and peered into his innermost mysteries?

"In reply to Your Majesty,"

Epps commenced gradually, his tone laden with timeless exhaustion.

"Psyche... was the only one my heart ever turned toward in this life. But for various reasons, we were separated."

"After my death, I should have fallen into the Underworld, yet by accident I broke free from the shackles of life and death and drifted here instead. By relying on a wisp of reincarnation aura that had stained me, I was fortunate enough to survive until now."

The reincarnation aura in the Sanctuary of Rebirth was something he'd merely stumbled upon by chance.

Through sheer coincidence, he entered the endless Star Sea.

Initially clueless about progression, that lone strand of reincarnation aura turned him into a spectral wanderer—an Eternal Sage Rank power bearing Heaven’s Mandate and governing a region of the Star Sea.

Yet after becoming aware of that paramount being, he'd never dared show his real form again.

And thus, he'd built Cycle Heaven to conceal himself inside.
