Chapter 408: Axiom Rank

’Above the ranks of Gods exists a special level known as the Legendary Axiom Rank.’

’Only Enders can reach the Legendary Axiom Rank.’

This meant that Enders were fundamentally different from ordinary powerful beings.

No one in their current era had ever come close to reaching the Axiom Rank.

The possibility of an Ender eventually reaching that level was one of the greatest dangers facing their world and the God Domain combined.

This made Sylvie’s existence even more significant.

After thinking about the significance of Sylvie, the Overseer turned his attention toward Caelus.

"Star King, Just to confirm, can you activate your Talent."

The Overseer wanted to see it with his own eyes.

Caelus agreed without hesitation.

He triggered his Star King Talent and allowed the Star Magic to manifest.

The atmosphere in the chamber immediately changed.

The Overseer’s eyes widened.

He stared at Caelus for several moments.

"It’s really you."

"The previous Star King had left behind a prophecy."

"According to the prophecy, a powerful being would eventually come to their world and become the new Star King."

"But the prophecy did not end there."

"The new Star King would also arrive alongside the Star Queen and the Ender of Death."

The Overseer’s gaze shifted toward Sylvie.

He already knew that Sylvie was the Ender of Death or at least that’s what they think still.

Therefore, there was only one remaining question.

His eyes settled on Sylvia.

"Miss, are you the Star Queen?"

Sylvia was initially somewhat surprised by the question.

She then realized that there was no reason to hide it anymore.

Sylvia nodded.

She activated her own Star Queen Talent.

Star Power began surging around her. She manifested her own form of Star Magic.

The people inside the chamber immediately gasped.

Sylvia had never really had much reason to use the Star Queen Talent before, but the power had always existed within her.

Now that she had revealed it, the prophecy became undeniable.

The room erupted into stunned reactions.

The prophecy was true.

The new Star King had arrived.

The Ender of Death had appeared alongside him.

And the Star Queen was standing directly beside them.

Caelus was completely taken aback.

He never expected that prophecies would somehow involve him.

He wondered how the previous Star King could have known that he would eventually appear.

Caelus remembered the altar in the Path to Worlds.

He began wondering whether the altar possessed some form of divination ability.

That would explain how information about his arrival could have existed before he ever entered the Star King World.

There was no other obvious explanation for how the prophecy could have existed.

The Overseer eventually take a breath and begin speaking.

"We shall protect you with all our might. You are our King and Queen."

Everyone inside the chamber immediately kneeled.

The entire Star King Administration bowed before Caelus and Sylvia.

Caelus was once again surprised by how quickly everything had changed.

Sylvia, however, smiled.

From her perspective, this was an enormous advantage. They had effectively gained the strongest possible political footing inside the Star King World.

The Star King Administration was now on their side.

They had nothing to worry about from this organization.

After the formal declaration, the Overseer turned to an important matter.

"How long have you and the others been inside the Star King World?"

Caelus casually answered.

"Three days."

The entire room froze.

The Overseer looked at Caelus in disbelief.

Only three days.

The Star King had only been in their world for three days!

Yet he had already reached the Overlord Rank.

The Overseer’s expression became increasingly difficult to comprehend.

"Then... Star King. Why are you at the Overlord Rank?"

Caelus had no particularly dramatic explanation.

"It just happened."

This left everyone even more speechless.

The Overseer realized that Caelus’s rate of growth was completely abnormal.

Caelus thought about his next objective.

He remembered that the rank after Overlord was Origin Lord.

"The realm after the Overlord Rank is the Origin-Lord Rank, right?"

The Overseer confirmed it.

Caelus remembered the mysterious man who helped him and the others enter the Space League back on Earth.

That man had also been at the Origin-Lord Rank.

Caelus realized that if he wanted to continue climbing, he needed to reach that level quickly.

"I want to reach Origin Lord fast. What are some ways to do that quickly?"

"One of the most reliable methods is conquering Origin Nodes. Controlling Origin Nodes provides enormous resources and allows an Overlord to continuously accumulate power."

The Overseer paused briefly before continuing.

"However, there are also hidden ruins scattered throughout the Tier 2 Expanse."

"These ruins contain enormous opportunities, but they are extremely dangerous. Most people avoid them."

The reason is simple.

Overlords could still die inside these ruins.

Reaching the Overlord Rank granted tremendous strength and increased one’s lifespan to 10,000 years, but an Overlord still only had one life.

An Overlord could live for ten thousand years, but dying still meant dying.

"There are also special artifacts capable of altering an Overlord’s survivability."

"One example is an artifact known as the Partitioner."

"The Partitioner allows an Overlord to divide their 10,000-year lifespan into two separate lives."

"The lifespan is partitioned into two 5,000-year segments. If the Overlord dies during the first life, they are reborn and continue living with the remaining 5,000 years."

Caelus and Sylvia were both taken aback by the information.

They had not realized that artifacts capable of effectively granting additional lives existed.

"Artifacts are extremely important to Overlords. You should obtain as many powerful and special artifacts as possible."

The Overseer gestured toward the interior of the administration headquarters.

"The Star King Administration can help you with this."

Their organization possessed a vault filled with artifacts.

Caelus became interested.

"Why are you being so helpful?"

He did not want to blindly accept their assistance without understanding their motivation.

"Our loyalty is not based purely on fear or political convenience."

"It is our duty."

"The Star King World was originally created by the Star King for people who had lost everything. The Star King gave those people a place where they could survive and rebuild their lives."

"Because of that, the Star King Administration swore an oath to the Origin Network. Our oath is simple. We will never betray the Star King or any legitimate successor to the Star King."

His gaze settled on Caelus.

"Now that you have been recognized as the Star King of this era, our oath applies to you."

The Overseer looked at Caelus with a mixture of respect and disbelief.

"You are terrifying."

He sighed.

"Reaching the Overlord Rank in only three days is something I have difficulty comprehending."

He acknowledged just how abnormal the new Star King’s growth rate was.

"You should stop worrying about the political situation outside. I will personally handle everything occurring in the outside world."

"That includes dealing with the various factions and the situation surrounding the Genesis Kingdom."

The Overseer effectively took responsibility for protecting Caelus’s position and managing the political consequences of his arrival and he also promised to help him with the Genesis Kingdom.

"Rest for now. Star King. We will handle everything. You must be tired after today."

Caelus was visibly elated.

He no longer needed to personally worry about every faction that might try to attack him.

Caelus and Sylvia began walking toward their assigned room following an attendee. Sylvie followed close behind them.

With the Star King Administration now completely on their side, Caelus felt that their situation had improved enormously.

He turned toward Sylvia and brought up their next objective.

"Looks like we have enough power to find Mia now."

Sylvia immediately nodded.

However, the moment Caelus said the name Mia, Sylvie’s expression changed.

She frowned.

She clearly recognized the name.

"Mia? As in Mia Midnight?"

Caelus and Sylvia stopped walking the instant they heard that.

Caelus turned toward Sylvie.

"You know her?"
