From Secret Clan to the Divine Dynasty

The Immortal Emperor returned from the innumerable spaces of books.

He looked calm, seemingly not annoyed by the Sapphire Curator's recent action, only silently gazing at Chris and Hecate.

The Sapphire Curator took a deep breath, as the power of Miracle from the Philosopher's Stone kept slipping away.

Now, he had to win with a single strike.

"Everything just now was just a prelude, this is the final strike."

Those books were more than just simple piles of paper and ink. They carried the wisdom and secrets of a thousand years, each one in fact a dormant soul of an Extraordinary Exponent, waiting to be awakened.

The Sapphire Curator slowly raised his hands, his fingertips lightly touching the faintly flowing strands of Magic Power in the air, his eyes flashing with light.

With a deep, prolonged chant, ancient and mysterious Spells resonated through the air, each syllable like a key unlocking the gate to another world, awakening the Spells and Magic sleeping between the pages.

At first, only a faint glow seeped out from the spines and edges of the books, like the first stars twinkling in the night sky. But soon, these glimmers gathered into streams, bursting forth from every book, turning into a myriad of brilliant ribbons that intertwined in the air, forming a complex and spectacular Magic Array.

The souls of those Extraordinary Exponents, in the form of books, came to life again. They opened automatically, and Spells leaped into the air like printed characters, arranging and weaving themselves into a Magic Net covering the entire sky.

As the Sapphire Curator's chanting quickened, the Spells were no longer confined to the line of sight; they began to climb upwards, piercing through the sky, growing more brilliant, expanding in midair to eventually form a massive Magic Array that obscured the sun, dazzling and awe-inspiring, undoubtedly invoking reverence in anyone who beheld it.

The great Magic Array, made up of countless Spells, harbored enough power to shake heavens and earth. It slowly rotated, each Spell flashing at specific points, releasing particular Energy Fluctuations, resonating and amplifying each other, and ultimately converging into an indescribable, formidable force field.

The Sapphire Curator stood on the ground, looking up at the Miracle he had created with resolute eyes.

He knew that at this moment, he had unleashed his most potent force.

Chris and Hecate, too, were watching this scene.

In the Grand Hall of the Fischer family, everyone observed what was happening here through magical devices from afar.

"They won't be able to withstand that attack…" Darren furrowed his brows as he analyzed.

An all-out strike from the Apocalypse Upper Rank, even Chris and Hecate as they were now, would still be no match.

Archer was the first to lead everyone in prayer.

"Great God, we are willing to exchange our lives for theirs, please bestow your grace…"

Finally, the Magic Array released an extremely dazzling light, the strongest strike concentrated with countless wisdom and power, ready to strike at its predetermined target!

The Sapphire Curator's gaze was no longer calm, believing that this strike would alter destiny!

He would obtain the Destruction Element and become Divine!

All of a sudden, the Immortal Emperor changed direction and, with unbelievable speed and precision, launched a full-force sneak attack at the nearby Sapphire Curator.

"Goodbye, old friend."

The scene unfolded so rapidly that the Sapphire Curator had virtually no time to defend.

Some of the books around him drew several arcs in the air but failed to block the Immortal Emperor's fatal strike in time.

The Sapphire Curator's body was hit by a formidable force, sending him flying backward, striking the hard ground heavily, with many books scattering around him.

The earth-shaking Magic Array also vanished in an instant.

"Why?" A hint of confusion tinged the Sapphire Curator's voice.

However, the Immortal Emperor provided no answer.

He quickly approached the Sapphire Curator, a special glow emerging in his hand, then he pierced through the Sapphire Curator's body, retrieving an emerald-colored orb.

That was the sacred object of the Elf Clan that Marzo had long been searching for!

Inside it was hidden the Forbidden rare artifact "Book," which was also one of the Elements of Destruction!

"This book will belong to me, to Lorne!" The Immortal Emperor's voice echoed around, his tone filled with absolute determination.

"So that's how it is, you knew it was with me, and your target from the beginning was it… I see." The Sapphire Curator finally realized, sighing.

"What a pity, I thought my Secret Keeping Spell was strong enough, but you still uncovered it... How did you do it?"

The Immortal Emperor calmly said, "It was the Divine Oracle, in His presence, your 'Secret Keeping' Spell is naturally invalid."

"..."

The Sapphire Curator looked toward the sky, suddenly understanding.

In the astonished gaze of the Fischer family, the Immortal Emperor turned and left the battlefield with the emerald-colored orb, instantly heading to another space.

His figure was gradually fading away.

The sudden change had Chris and Hecate look at each other with a flash of surprise in their eyes; obviously, the actions of the Immortal Emperor were beyond their expectations.

Hecate said, "We should not pursue any further, even if there are many from the Dawn Church supporting us, both of our Spiritual Power are nearly at their limits..."

Chris nodded slightly.

Meanwhile, the legendary Sapphire Curator lay on the ground, his face pale, eyes filled with loss.

It was over.

He still could not defeat destiny, nor resist the divine...

"This is the end."

Suddenly, an unusual chill filled the air, and Chris appeared in front of the curator, his gaze deep and indifferent as if he could see directly into one's soul.

Faced with this sudden proclamation of death, the curator did not show any panic or regret.

On the contrary, his face revealed a calm and content smile, one that comes from seeing through life and death.

"My entire life was devoted to the pursuit of the mystical."

The curator said softly, his voice gentle yet filled with utmost determination,

"I have witnessed the glory and the desolation of the world and found a resting place for my own story... This time, I did not evade as I used to."

"It is not 'Recklessness' that led to my defeat, for to find the possibility of becoming a God one must pass through such destiny, and it is so for everyone... Only those who traverse their destiny can become Gods."

"If I did not choose to 'challenge', I would never have had the chance to become a God, haha, it was a necessary choice."

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, as if feeling the beauty of the world for the last time.

"No regrets."

The curator whispered these two words, his tone full of satisfaction.

"I have no regrets about my choices, no regrets about everything I have done, even now, with you 'Death God' standing before me, I am ready to face it."

As his words fell, Chris slowly extended his hand, the curator did not resist or flee, he just stood there quietly, allowing that irresistible force to take him away.

In his heart, there was no remorse, no fear.

"Fischer family."

"Let me wish you the strength to endure to the very end!"

——

Inside the Grand Hall, a magnificent and solemn space, the Fischer family gathered for the sacred sacrificial ritual.

Archer was the first to kneel devoutly on the ground.

Chris's face was expressionless, Hecate narrowed her eyes, while Christine, Darren, and the others all had excited looks on their faces.

The result of this battle was also an undoubted tremendous gain!

After devouring several of the Apocalypse Upper Rank and the many Forbidden rare artifacts they possessed, Karl sensed the ninth Seal begin to loosen.

"The power has become stronger than before..."

"But to completely release the ninth Seal, it still needs time, a period of slumber."

After pondering for a moment, he entered a deep sleep.

Subtle changes began to manifest at the edge of the Sealed boundary.

At first, the changes were almost imperceptible, like the faintest flashes of light in the night sky, but soon that strength began to swell in an unstoppable manner, permeating every corner of the real world.

The sky was no longer clear, instead shrouded by a faint haze, and the constellations lost their luster as if devoured by some invisible force.

Earthquakes became frequent, volcanoes erupted, and tranquil valleys turned overnight into hellish landscapes of rampaging magma.

The seas grew turbulent with towering waves, marine creatures fled in a panic due to some unknown terror, throwing the whole ocean's ecosystem into chaos.

Plants and animals also underwent unprecedented mutations, some growing bizarre and terrifying forms, others losing their sanity, becoming highly aggressive.

The entire Claud World, the societies of intelligent life on several continents were facing an unprecedented massive upheaval, nations were in panic, and even time and space began to warp, blurring the line between reality and illusion.
