From Secret Clan to the Divine Dynasty

In an era where information and transportation were underdeveloped, the influence of the True Gods Church still far surpassed that of the Dawn Church, even though more and more people were becoming aware of the miraculous Power of Consecution possessed by the Dawn Church, which could grant ordinary people extraordinary power. However, due to the propaganda and obstruction by the True Gods Church, fewer and fewer dared to venture to Cyart like Nasir had.

The relationship between the Fischer family and the Lorne citizens had deteriorated severely, beyond redemption, but fortunately, the God of War Emperor of the Seven Stars brought a breath of spring.

Today, they had acquired two incredibly powerful materials.

The first was the heart of a purple demon, actually the "heart of the Iron Demon Lord," which originated from a Monarch-Level demon and was an Eighth-level Transcendent Material, sufficient to support the breakthrough from the Seventh Tier to the Eighth Tier.

Even for the current Fischer family, possessing two pieces of Seventh Level Extraordinary materials was an exceedingly challenging feat.

This powerful magic material exhibited a deep and mysterious purple color, as if it were condensed from the most remote constellations in the night sky.

Its shape was not the soft form of an ordinary creature's heart but appeared as a translucent crystal, within which purple currents seemed to flow slowly, flashing an ominous yet enticing light.

The surface of the heart was covered with complex patterns, which seemed like naturally formed runes, recording ancient and powerful magic knowledge.

It looked more like a meticulously carved piece of art than a product of nature, exuding an aura that was both awe-inspiring and captivating.

Darren knew the moment he first saw it that if he ever had a chance to break through to the Eighth Tier, this extraordinary material was definitely what he would need.

More important than the heart of the Demon Lord was another Eighth-level Extraordinary material, a top-tier material that even the Fischer family had never owned, highly rare and difficult to obtain.

It was the eye of an emerald ancient giant dragon.

It came from a colony of the Seven Suns Empire People in the Exotic Realm.

Their people had killed a "Guardian God" there—a tribe alliance's emerald ancient giant dragon close to the Heavenly Enlightenment level—and finally managed to completely conquer the millions-strong tribal alliance.

Even the powerful Seven Suns Empire People needed several battle puppets and more than a dozen Monarch powerful experts to barely kill this terrifying monster with a powerful Forbidden rare artifact.

Its eye was like one of nature's purest miracles, full and deep emerald green, bright and crystal clear in color, with a flawlessly shaped, jewel-like appearance.

Most astonishing was the faint halo encircling the eye, seemingly made of condensed life force, which changed colors occasionally and reflected the mountains, rivers, seas, sun, moon, and stars the dragon had experienced, displaying the endless sediment of ages.

As an Eighth-level Transcendent Material, it inherently possessed powerful extraordinary power.

Anyone holding this eye was like possessing a part of the dragon's wisdom and power, capable of discerning many things.

The Fischer family knew that if Chris ever had a chance to break through again in the future, this Eighth-level Transcendent Material brought by the Seven Suns Empire People would be crucial.

In recent years, they had established a grand library, located not far from the Fischer family manor.

This library was several times larger than the one Byrne had built years ago, aimed at collecting various books from around the Ouden Continent. Despite the considerable manpower and resources involved, very few opposed it.

Knowledge is power, and that was the consensus of everyone.

When Moter Fischer first entered this library twenty years ago, he was almost immediately deeply shocked by the sight before him, where towering bookshelves stood like giants guarding knowledge, rows closely connected, reaching up to the ceiling.

Now, he had entered once again.

Soft light poured from the ceiling chandeliers, and on the shelves, each book was a witness of time, each emitting the profound weight of wisdom.

"Sigh."

Moter took a deep breath and began his exploration in the grand library.

"The Ether Dragon... that dragon is said to be an ancestor of the Wilson family."

"Many believe it doesn't truly exist, but Uncle Karno has seen its existence firsthand. That existence participated in the siege against the Child of the Sun God."

And to think of hunting such a formidable being, it would seem utterly unbelievable to ordinary people, undoubtedly a mythical creature.

The Fischer family had already become incredibly powerful, or to say Chris Fischer was powerful enough, but to hunt a mighty Heavenly Enlightenment, preparations were necessary.

Moter was researching information about the Ether Dragon in the library.

He found a book titled "Ancient Dragon Chronicles," which stated—In the ancient era, the Claud World had not yet formed the stable structure we see today; chaos and order intertwined, energy and matter surged against each other.

In this chaos, a mysterious and powerful creature was born—the dragon.

The giant dragons were born in the Claud World before the Gods, with the Four Ancient Dragon Kings being its original rulers. The Ether Dragon, composed of pure Ethereal Energy, was shape-shifting and capable of traveling between different dimensions and spacetimes.

The breath of the Ether Dragon could cause constellations to flash, and the flapping of its wings could stir the tides. It possessed the ability to control time and space, could manipulate the flow of time relatively easily, and could traverse different universes.

In ancient legends, it was the guardian of the Claud World, roaming among various continents, protecting the balance and order of the entire world.

The Ether Dragon was also a lone traveler, moving through endless spacetime, searching for beings similar to itself, yet often finding only emptiness and nothingness.

Throughout history, many worshiped and believed in the Ether Dragon—dragon descendants, giant dragons—though it was only a powerful demi-god, its influence was enormous.

"So that's it."

Moter thought quietly, the Fischer family was actually planning to kill such a powerful, mythical creature... it sounded utterly arrogant.

Moreover, the most astonishing thing was that the opponent might likely be weaker than Chris's great-grandfather, which meant that the power Chris's great-grandfather now held was also a significant figure in mythological stories.

"Heavenly Enlightenment, are they all so powerful?"

A restlessness stirred deep within, and Moter knew how much he longed for power.

Whether he was Lucius or not didn't matter anymore; the most important thing now was how to live brilliantly in this life.

He, too, wanted to become a Heavenly Enlightenment.

—

A year later, the Fischer family once again entered the entrance in the jungle.

This time, not many from the Fischer family decided to go to the Spirit Realm Palace, just Chris, Darren, and Hecate.

The weak ones going would be pointless.

As for Hecate, she was no longer weak, being the top genius with the highest talent. She had now reached the 6th Rank of the Path of Revelation, and was just a step away from surpassing the Seventh Tier, soon surpassing Karno.

"Is this the place my father discovered?"

The three arrived deep in the Spirit Realm and looked at the palace made of dazzling crystals.

Darren couldn't help but remark, frowning, "I never thought that the powerful Heavenly Enlightenment was so close to us..."

Its structure was entirely composed of crystals of various shapes and vibrant colors, not only crystal clear but also emitting a soft and mysterious glow, making the entire palace as bright as day even at night.

The walls, roof, pillars, and even the floor of the Crystal Palace were inlaid with crystals of various sizes, reflecting each other.

"Is our mythical target lizard inside that crystal-made palace right now, Hecate?"

Darren looked toward the girl nearby and asked quietly.

This time, the main person to take action was Chris, while Darren was the only one in the family qualified to participate in a Heavenly Enlightenment Level battle.

As for Hecate, her role was to use the powerful predictive power of the Path of Revelation to help them seek enemies.

Although the strength of the 6th Rank might not be very useful in a battle of the Heavenly Enlightenment Level, Hecate's predictive power was still crucial and could also keep them alive in the upcoming fight, which was enough.
