From Secret Clan to the Divine Dynasty

Looking up in the center of the hall, one could see a gigantic silver sphere suspended high in the sky, radiating a soft yet dazzling light that was impossible to look at directly.

Inside the sphere, the perfect silhouette of an emperor with silver-white hair could be faintly seen. He was seated within the light, his gaze deep and majestic, like that of a true deity.

"So beautiful." Stay connected through My Virtual Library Empire

Chris suddenly spoke, moved. It was the first time he had seen something he could describe as beautiful, and it was not just the handsome appearance of the emperor that he found "beautiful," but also that air of temperament.

Anyone who laid eyes on him for the first time would confirm it deep in their heart.

This man was indeed the most powerful person in the world!

"His Majesty said that next, as long as the fusion and breakthrough begin, everyone around the world will sense it. At that time, we will need to help him get through this difficult phase and buy some time."

"Mhm, understood."

Darren nodded gently and smiled, "Don't be nervous; after all, this is our home ground. We just need to hold on until he wakes up."

The head of the Imperial Guard nodded silently, then said with utmost certainty, "Yes, as long as His Majesty awakens, he will bring ultimate victory and glory... No matter how many lives we lose, it is justified!"

Darren's eyebrows raised, assured of the immense trust the man before him placed in the Military God.

The Fischer family did base their trust in the Military God, not because of the weakening bond of The Oath, but due to the history of the man himself, the Military God of the Seven Stars Empire.

He was someone who had never betrayed or lied, a truly strong figure brimming with honor.

Numerous people admired, worshiped, and feared him.

However, they did not completely trust the man either; after all, there was a first time for everything.

"Shall we begin?" Darren suddenly asked.

"Yes, let's begin," the head of the Imperial Guard nodded slowly, then suddenly knelt toward the silver sphere, continuing, "Please succeed in your breakthrough, let us continue to support you!"

The atmosphere gradually became tense and solemn. Darren of the Fischer family stood under the silver sphere, tightly gripping a mysterious object in his hand that emitted a soft blue glow and airflow—the Core of the Ether Dragon.

This core was a relic of the Ether Dragon, containing an immense amount of energy.

As he slowly raised the Core of the Ether Dragon, the entire hall was enveloped by an invisible force, and in that moment, the air stilled.

"Look!" Hecate suddenly raised her hand and pointed.

As the Core of the Ether Dragon began to rise and approach the sphere, an unprecedented burst of light exploded, illuminating the entire hall as bright as daylight.

This light was neither hot like fire nor cold like ice!

Rather, it was a warm and inclusive power, as if it could purify all the filth and darkness in the world!

Under the glow, the Core of the Ether Dragon began to resonate violently with the silver sphere! A mysterious connection seemed to have been established between the two!

The figure of the God of War Emperor inside the sphere, previously indistinct, became clear at that moment, with his eyes flashing an endless craving for the Core of the Ether Dragon!

The people of the Fischer family waited with bated breath, knowing this moment would determine the fate of their family.

The God of War Emperor slowly stretched out his hand, with an irresistible force, gently drawing the Core of the Ether Dragon into the sphere.

With the integration of the core, the light of the silver sphere shone even brighter, as if all the power of the world was converging at this moment.

Every member of the family within the hall was stunned by the sudden revelation, filled with regret over the loss of a treasure but even more so with anticipation for the future.

They knew that this deal with the Emperor had won a new ally for their family.

In the times to come, if an ally with the strength of an Apocalypse Upper Rank joined the Fischer family, it would expand their horizons and opportunities even further.

As the silver orb slowly merged with the Core of the Ether Dragon within the palace hall, the entire world seemed to tremble; a never-before-seen anomaly was quietly unfolding.

First came the eruption of light.

The silver orb, which had been gently illuminating, suddenly burst forth with an intensely dazzling light at this moment, like the sun at its dawn yet more pure and sacred.

Contained within this light was the ancient and powerful energy of the Ether Dragon, washing over the entire space like a torrential flood, bathing every brick and beam within the palace in this divine radiance.

Then came the trembling of the air.

As the orb and the core fused, an invisible fluctuation spread rapidly from the palace as its epicenter. This wave was neither a sound nor vibration but a deeper, more fundamental energy fluctuation.

It penetrated walls, the earth, even the boundaries of time and space, causing the entire Seven Stars Empire and even regions beyond to feel the presence of this power.

Next, were the anomalies in the sky.

The sky, clear just moments before, suddenly became overcast with rolling dark clouds and thundering skies, as if nature itself disapproved and feared this change.

Yet, within these dark clouds, silver lightning streaked through, akin to light dragons dancing in the air, responding to the silver orb below, together painting a magnificent and mysterious tapestry.

Finally, the earth itself began to change.

The plants and trees on the ground seemed to be granted life at this moment, swaying gracefully and emitting a faint luminescence, reflecting the lightning above.

This disturbance between heaven and earth not only shocked everyone within the palace but moved the entire world!

An unprecedented wave of energy erupted from deep within the palace, spreading swiftly to every corner of the world like ripples, this force both ancient and powerful.

Extraordinary powerful experts around the world, whether mysterious figures who had hidden for long years, the upper echelons of the powerful Church, or even the Extraordinary nobility entrenched in state power felt an unprecedented shock under the impact of this energy!

Their Mental states seemed pulled by an invisible force as they looked up in the direction of the Seven Stars Empire, their eyes flashing with a complex light—curiosity, greed, caution, and even awe of unknown powers.

"Is that... the power of the Ether Dragon? Tsk, troublesome, its temporal power is precisely the key to breaking through to the Apocalypse Upper Rank," murmured a curator of an ancient library who had been in hiding for many years, his eyes gleaming with the light of wisdom, foreseeing the future's direction.

"We cannot let him succeed in breaking through!"

The Iron Blood Marshal of the Lorne Empire clenched his fists, his voice filled with resolution and determination.

"If he reaches the Apocalypse Upper Rank, he will become a nightmare for the Claud World!"

He knew well that once the God of War Emperor succeeded in merging with the Core of the Ether Dragon, the power at his command would be nearly unrivaled, plunging the entire world into an unprecedented turmoil.

It was not only him; Prime Minister William and the Emperor of Lorne also looked extremely serious at this moment, one could even say deeply concerned.

Atop the throne of the Lorne Empire, the Emperor, who stood above countless others, murmured to himself:

"Use that Forbidden rare artifact... We must stop him, for if he truly breaks through to the Apocalypse Upper Rank, I fear his first act would be against us."

The Iron Blood Marshal was taken aback, immediately realizing that he was referring to one of the single digit Forbidden rare artifacts of the Lorne Empire, but the cost would be too great!

The Emperor of Lorne continued, "Although its cost is immense, I believe our citizens are willing to pay that price, all for Lorne."

Thus, powerful figures from all over the Claud World began to take action.

They traversed mountains and seas, deserts and forests, all to reach the Seven Stars Empire as quickly as possible.

Almost everyone held the same conviction—this Emperor must not succeed in his breakthrough!

At the same time, the Fischer family and numerous Imperial Guards, as well as allies previously arranged by certain Gods of War, were now fully prepared for the confrontation.
