From Secret Clan to the Divine Dynasty

Chapter 579: Chapter 519: The 8th Seal!_2

“The life of an ordinary person has warmth, and a soul has dignity… all of this must change!”

Ad was convinced that no matter how powerful the dark world was, as long as someone was willing to stand up, light could always be found, and he must change the entire world.

Many Extraordinary Exponents were astonished to hear of his ideals, and even ordinary people said that the Extraordinary Exponents had always been high above, accustomed to such a station.

“Just because things have always been that way doesn’t mean they are right.”

Thus, Ad set out on the journey to find the path of Salvation, traveling all around, learning various kinds of knowledge and magic, communicating with all manner of powerful creatures, and enduring countless trials and challenges. His belief never wavered, convinced that he was the chosen one of destiny, the last hope for this world.

What he didn’t know was that the effect of the “Savior’s” Destiny’s Trajectory was “as long as one firmly wishes to save the world and never wavers, one can maintain the luck and talent of being at the pinnacle of humanity.”

As time passed, Ad gradually grew into a learned, powerful Spellcaster of Monarch Level, and even though he was only of Lower Monarch Level, he could still battle with high-level Monarchs, astonishing countless people as a supreme genius.

Because he felt that the Gods had not helped humanity and various other intelligent races towards peace, he established his peaceful sect, gathering a group of like-minded believers to work together to save the world.

Ad taught them knowledge, instilled in them the importance of steadfast belief and selfless love, and the peaceful sect grew stronger, its light beginning to illuminate every corner of the world.

They rescued disaster victims and quelled wars, making Ad a hero and a beacon of hope in the hearts of countless people.

Until one day…

He heard the Divine Oracle.

The voice was filled with authority, power, and warmth.

[The world is in darkness, I seek a messenger to quell the chaos, to judge the disputes.]

[And you are the perfect embodiment of the way of Salvation.]

[Receive the Divine Power.]

[Become my chosen one.]

At that moment, Ad was utterly astonished, unable to believe it, and deep in his heart, he responded to the voice:

“This must be a mistake, are you truly the Lord of Salvation?”

“But how can this be? Respected Lord of Salvation, I have never prayed to any Divine being for decades, nor have I ever stepped foot in a Church of the Salvation Church. Why would you choose me?”

[Because the path of Salvation lies at your feet.]

Thus, the initially hesitant Ad made his choice… he dissolved his original sect and became the new Pope of the Salvation Church, directly becoming the most powerful person on Earth and ultimately succeeding in completely dismantling the slavery system that many nations once had.

“The path of Salvation lies at my feet.”

He looked up at the dark clouds in the sky and murmured to himself.

The power of the End was too great, even he could not seal it, let alone compare to it. The Pope of Redemption knew this better than anyone.

At this moment, the Pope of Redemption took a deep breath, his gaze becoming resolute and decisive, well aware that in the face of the power of the End, any individual effort seemed trivial, but he could not simply give up.

Because he was the Pope of the Salvation Church! The light of hope in the hearts of countless people, even if the Divine beings abandoned humanity, he could not abandon all sentient beings!

He closed his eyes and began to mobilize all the Divine Power within his body.

Over the millennia, there had been more than one Saint chosen by Redemption Divine Power!

But no one had been like him, able to bear so much Divine Power, and he received a great amount of Redemption Divine Power!

With his will, this powerful energy began to stir within his soul, as intense and burning as a volcano, and the Pope of Redemption felt his soul on fire, the close connection with this world tearing apart.

When the Pope of Redemption opened his eyes again, they had become as brilliant as the constellations, he raised his hands high and issued a deafening roar to the sky.

“End, this is the power of humanity!”

With that roar, all the Divine Power within his body surged out like the tide, transforming into a dazzling beam of light, shooting directly toward the direction of the Fischer family members!

Christine and the others wore extremely solemn expressions, for that power was simply too strong; just a touch would erase them completely in an instant.

However, the power of that dense black fog was too overpowering, such that even the Pope of Redemption, with all his Divine Power, could not break through that dense black fog.

The beam of light was devoured as soon as it touched the black fog, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

The Pope of Redemption’s body swayed, on the verge of collapsing due to the excessive consumption of power, his face pallid as paper, his eyes flashing with unwillingness and despair.@@novelbin@@

He collapsed to the ground, hands clenched into fists, nails digging deeply into his palms, understanding that he had failed and could not save the Claud World from dire straits.

“Even if I fall, there must be others who will continue to move forward, who will continue to strive for the future of this world… Fischer, you won’t awaken the end without difficulty.”

Finally, the dense black fog surged up.

The Pope of Redemption had no thought of escape, merely watching calmly as everything he had was devoured.

With the ancient shackles of the Seal relentlessly torn apart, a surge of black fog, unprecedented and like the breath of the Abyss, silently yet irresistibly swept across the entire Seven Luminaries Kingdom.

The dense black fog was not merely a physical existence; it was more like the embodiment of despair and fear, oppressively weighing down on every inch of land, on every heart.

The sky lost its colors of days past, replaced by a deep, opaque curtain of black, as if the sun, moon, and stars were all devoured by the power, casting the Seven Stars into a suffocating monotony of black and white.

Amidst the boundless darkness, no matter where one was, they felt as though pulled by an invisible force, forced to face an unavoidable truth—the true end had come.

Visions began to appear before people’s eyes, fragments of the future, unfolding like scenes from an apocalyptic scroll.

They saw cities collapsing in flames, once-bustling streets turned to rubble; they saw family and friends struggling in despair, unable to alter fate; they saw the collapse of natural laws, the sky tearing apart, the sea rushing backward, life laid to waste.

At this moment, whether noble or commoner, Extraordinary Exponent or ordinary person, all felt an unprecedented sense of insignificance and helplessness.

It seemed as if the apocalypse had been destined by fate.

No one could escape!

At this moment, Karl was mired in an unprecedented confusion and conflict.

“My awakening is destined to destroy the world.”

“I am the end.”

His voice could make countless creatures’ hearts tremble, yet now it carried a hint of subtle bewilderment.

After the Eighth Seal was unlocked, he still knew all the steps of the God Pantheon stairway, and his power was even stronger than before; the dense black fog could even actively devour what was needed, could freeze time on a large scale, create illusions, and all it took was to extract the life of some Devout Believers afterward, no longer needing the prayers and sacrifices of mortals.

Karl seemed to stand at the intersection of time and space, overlooking the world shrouded in his black fog, yet his heart surged with complex emotions.

Every time a Seal was undone, it brought turmoil to the world, as if his very existence was a harbinger of the apocalypse.

Yet he did not crave Destruction, nor did he wish to truly witness a scene where life was extinguished and all things withered.

“Why does my existence seem doomed to consort with Destruction?”

Karl’s inner contemplation flickered like a candle in a stormy wind, unsteady yet stubbornly burning.

He was gradually becoming clear that when the tenth Seal was unlocked, the Claud World would inevitably be destroyed in an instant, as was only natural.

Just as a balloon cannot contain a giant dragon.

Faced with this question once more, Karl had an answer deep within him that had to be acknowledged, no matter what.

“Even if I could let the Claud World be destroyed… I do not wish the Fischer family to turn into nothingness…”
