From Secret Clan to the Divine Dynasty

Chapter 591: Chapter 527: The Black Fog Sweeping Across the Continent

Southern Ouden Continent.

Terrara Church State.

Beneath a massive pyramid, sunlight, like liquid gold, slowly poured over each giant stone, draping this sacred sun crystal in a divine glow.

Hidden in the deepest part of the pyramid was a secret chamber, known only to the ancient monarchs of Terell who used it for worshipping the Blazing Sun. Today, however, it became the holy ground where the Child of the Sun God summoned many powerful beings from across the continent to discuss important matters.

Besides those who once besieged the Child of the Sun God, other Heavenly Enlightenments and high-ranking individuals from the Claud World were all present.

The Child of the Sun God, clad in a golden robe, his eyes shimmering with the intense light of the sun, stood on a raised platform in the center of the chamber.

His presence was the embodiment of light and hope, and everyone in the room felt a strong power.

Around him were extraordinary exponents from various forces, nations, and faiths, including Lorne citizens and people from the Seven Suns Empire, the only absentees were from the Reforging Church.

Because, this meeting did not welcome the Reforging Church.

“Ladies and gentlemen, you must also have felt that recently the situation in the entire world has been getting worse, the revival of the Elements of Destruction is gradually approaching.”

The Child of the Sun God’s voice was sacred and deep, echoing in the room like ancient echos, and he continued,

“We have gathered here today to face several unprecedented crises, one of which is the End… Once the entity worshipped by the Fischer family is revived, the entire world will turn to nothing.”

“When the time comes for the gods’ powers to completely dissipate, we must immediately obliterate the Fischer family… If I am not mistaken, that will be our last chance.”

An emissary from the Imperial Lorne, standing in the middle of the crowd, got up, his eyes filled with confusion, like a puppet that had lost all sense of sanity, and spoke in the voice of the Emperor of Lorne,

“We would naturally do such a thing without you having to say it… When the time comes, everyone here will go to Cyart, destroy the Fischer family, and seize the End-of-the-World Relic that harbors the Element of Destruction.”

The Child of the Sun God fell silent for a moment, then said gravely, “Do not fantasize about using that object to become gods. Once the relic of the End is obtained, it must be immediately taken to another world and then abandoned.”

“Can’t it be destroyed?”

This question came from the newly appointed Pope of the Salvation Church, Weird Light, though his power was far inferior to that of the Thousand-year-old Pope, his position was still significant.

The Child of the Sun God shook his head gently and continued, “It cannot be destroyed, for it is an object of a rank that absolutely cannot be destroyed. I advise you also not to act rashly… Taking it to another world along with various seals is the best method.”

“Apart from the End, the most troublesome Element of Destruction is… the God of Reforging.”

The expressions of those present changed slightly.

The God of Reforging was the divine being who annihilated the Seven Stars Emperor, and the only True God in the world able to truly intervene. Now, the relationship between the Reforging Church and the Lorne Empire was extremely close, making it difficult to say which side the Emperor of Lorne was on.

Theoretically, provided the Reforging Church was willing to pay a significant price, the projection of the God of Reforging could eliminate all enemies in the world… however, people also secretly speculated that His power could not act against other True Gods who left restrictive laws in the East of the continent.

To this day, it remained a great mystery,

Why among the gods, the Lord of Salvation left a divine oracle to find and seal the End… and also restricted legendary fighters of the Heavenly Enlightenment Level from traveling to the Eastern Ouden Continent?

The Child of the Sun God continued to speak, his voice growing heavier,

“The God of Reforging, that supreme being that could grant our world another form and order, has now been corrupted by an otherworldly god.”

His words were like a massive stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up waves in everyone’s heart.

Otherworldly gods, those distant and mysterious beings, their power and intentions had always been a source of fear and unknown to mortals.

Everyone’s expressions became subtly tensed, and the puppet controlled by the Emperor of Lorne remained silent throughout.

“The God of Reforging has been completely corrupted by an otherworldly god, his power will no longer be of creation but of destruction and chaos, and our world, our civilization, and all that we cherish will face unprecedented disaster because of His existence.”

The Child of the Sun God’s gaze swept across everyone, filled with resolve.

“Therefore, I propose we unite to confront this threat… Among the six Elements of Destruction, only the God of Reforging and the End require our utmost attention.”

“Hmm, well said, indeed that should be the case.”

The newly appointed Pope of Redemption, Weird Light, nodded lightly, but there was a barely perceptible mocking look in his eyes.

And after everyone left the chamber, the Child of the Sun God took out that scroll and reentered it.

There existed a man and a soul, Karno Fischer and Bast Leone.

Just as Karno had promised back then, he had returned here, although he had not figured out a way to save Bast, he did not abandon him here.

Bast’s soul was extremely fearful upon seeing the Child of the Sun God, trembling and hiding like a mouse encountering a cat, daring not to speak rashly.

Karno bowed slightly, smiling, and said, “Respected Saint of Sun, Child of the Sun God, sir, why have you come again?”

“Is today the day of my execution?”

“Karno, you truly are a remarkable individual, actually coming back because of a promise, completely disregarding your own life.”

The Child of the Sun God looked at him calmly and continued, “I will make you watch as the Fischer family faces destruction and your family’s sacred object is exiled and sealed… If I can find a way not to kill you and still resolve the issue, then I will let you live. However, the mark on your hand makes me feel that perhaps eradicating all the Fischers is necessary to bring an end to everything.”

Karno smiled faintly, shaking his head and said, “Unfortunately, you will not succeed.”

“Success…”

The Child of the Sun God fell silent for a long while before saying meaningfully, “Some things, although very difficult and with a very slim chance of success… must not be abandoned.”

“How would we know without trying?”

—

There were still ten years before the powers of the Gods completely dissipated.

On the northwestern border of the Cyart Kingdom, an invisible rift quietly opened, from which a thick, almost solid, black mist seeped.

The dense black mist, like the deepest nightmare at midnight, carried an indescribable aura and expanded slowly yet resolutely towards the borders of Vallere and the Lorne Empire.

Its color was so deep that it appeared to absorb all surrounding light; even the sunlight at high noon could not penetrate it, leaving only a suffocating and despairing darkness.

Occasionally, a faint blue gleam flickered in the mist, which was the last struggle of a mysterious rare artifact being devoured in despair.

Whatever the mysterious rare artifact, be it ordinary or forbidden, once it came into contact with this mist, it would quickly lose its original luster and power, turning into a wisp of smoke and merging into the endless darkness.

The crisis of the world had still begun.

This process was like a silent slaughter, with every magic artifact’s disappearance accompanied by faint yet piercing cries, making the surrounding space even more oppressive.

As the mist continued to spread, the borderlines of the neighboring countries began to blur, and people, terrified, discovered the rich black mist and didn’t want to know what would happen if they touched it.

Thus, an unprecedented migration began. People dragged their families and belongings along the winding mountains and twisting rivers, fleeing towards the relatively untouched lands to the west.

Everywhere along the route, refugees were seen, their eyes filled with uncertainty and fear about the future, children crying in their mothers’ arms, the elderly struggling to move forward with the support of their walking sticks.

“They say that that is the end, Lorne is being devoured, who knows what the future holds…”

“Just touching it means doom… hurry to the west!”

In fact, the dense black mist spreading from Karl was not targeting any life but reacted only to various mystical rare artifacts… although, few dared to attempt touching it.

He was madly harvesting the spiritual power from various mysterious rare artifacts to fill his own needs.

Even so, the Ninth Seal remained solid as a rock, showing not even the slightest sign of loosening.

—

Spirit Realm, surrounded by a light mist, like the first break of dawn.

Time in this part of the Spirit Realm seemed to lose all meaning, neither flowing nor stationary but gently swaying in an elusive rhythm, while space was like liquid mercury, both solid and flowing, changing infinitely with the fluctuations of consciousness.

Members of the Fischer family—Darren, Chris, Helen, Moter, along with Yeager from the Dawn Church and Old Dog—all stepped into this mysterious land, and the first thing that caught their eye was a brilliant sea of light.

This light did not come from any known source but arose from an intrinsic energy of the Spirit Realm itself, with occasional flashes of colorful illusions sweeping through the light sea, which were the whispers of past souls and omens of future visions.

Further inside, they discovered a forest composed purely of emotions.

The trees in this forest bore emotions as leaves and memories as roots, each leaf shimmering in different colors representing all human emotions like joy, anger, sorrow, love, hatred, and more.

Darren, Chris, and others walked through this forest, experiencing an unprecedented emotional resonance, feeling connected to the emotional veins of the entire universe.

“What an interesting place. According to the Wishing Divine Lamp’s information, just beyond a door from here should be the location of the Extraordinary materials required for Chris to advance to the Ninth Tier.”

Chris said nothing, while Yeager, the leader of the Dawnbringers, nodded slightly and said, “Yes, let us continue forward, it’s best to make it quick in case we encounter something unexpected.”

The group ventured deeper into the core of the Spirit Realm until they finally came upon a body of water named “Eternal Lake.”@@novelbin@@

“This is it! Fantastic! We’ve finally found it!” Helen suddenly exclaimed excitedly, clearly more agitated than Darren as she was in a “Manic Period.”

The lake, known as “Eternal Lake,” was crystal clear to the bottom, yet it reflected no physical images, instead mirroring the deepest desires and dreams of everyone present.
