From Secret Clan to the Divine Dynasty

Chapter 611: Chapter 547 Otherworldly God

Stars Embrace Order’s secret underground base was located in a remote and concealed location, beneath a distant mountain range, connected to the outside world through a complex maze-like tunnel system, which was filled with various magical traps and alchemy mechanisms to prevent unauthorized entry.

The interior of the base was extremely grand and spectacular, filled with magical elements. The walls and ceiling were made of sturdy and mysterious refined gold, inlaid with various sparkling gems and runes, which seemed to hold some kind of mysterious power.

At the center of the base was a huge circular room, known as the “Star Temple.”

The intruder here was none other than Chris.

He looked up and saw that the top of the room was a transparent dome, through which the stars in the night sky could be clearly seen, and in the center of the room, there was a huge altar, upon which some mysterious alchemy items were placed.

In addition to the Star Temple, there were many other rooms and facilities within the base, used for storing the precious artifacts and ancient books of the Stars Embrace Order, which recorded the history, beliefs, and doctrines of the Order.

…

Since a few years ago when Chris found some clues about the Stars Embrace Order, the Fischer family had been dedicated to searching for more information about the Order, and later they discovered that among the many strongholds of the Order, there was one that was particularly mysterious and special.

It was different from the other strongholds; hardly any members of the Stars Embrace Order knew about it, with only the leader of the Order, “Black Starlight”, occasionally visiting here alone.

To call it a base was more like referring to it as a relic.

Only after successfully advancing to the 5th Rank did Chris dare to step into this place.

“That person is not here.”

Chris knew very clearly that he had gone to attack the Terrara Church State, only according to the prophecy of the gods, the Stars Embrace Order was destined to be repelled by the powerful Child of the Sun God.

“Black Starlight”

That was the leader of the Stars Embrace Order, and Karl could feel that there was a strong non-human sensation about that existence from the first cycle, even though it was defeated on the spot by the Fischer family, it still felt as if it had not been completely killed.

There were many puzzles about him, or rather, it.

Chris, in a secret room’s bookshelf, saw many books.

Those ancient books had existed for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, and there were no signs that they had ever been disturbed, suggesting that when Black Starlight came here, he did not specifically touch them.

Chris stretched out his hand, flipping through the ancient books in the ruins, gradually frowning as he learned many things.

The ancient books described many things, one of which also came as a quite a surprise to him…

It turned out that in the very ancient era of the Claud World, the rulers of the entire world were not the so-called Gods but included the Time-Space Dragon among the Four Ancient Dragon Kings, before the native gods of Claud had appeared in this world.

And all races other than the dragon tribe at that time were enslaved by the powerful dragon kin, until those who were humans at the time beseeched one of the three pillars of the otherworldly gods, the “Master of Ritual”.

They prayed for powerful strength!

Otherworldly god.

They were born before the birth of the infinite cosmos.

Not only witnesses to the creation of the universe but also masters of its profound mysteries.

The otherworldly gods possessed supreme power, surpassing the constraints of physical laws, effortlessly shaping, altering, and even destroying the universe. They could use their will to move constellations, invisibly controlling time and space, creating endless miracles, even granting life and souls to all things, filling the universe with vitality and vibrancy.

They held endless wisdom and knowledge, being pioneers who existed before the birth of the universe, understanding all the secrets of the cosmos, including the origin of life and the laws governing the workings of the universe.

The will of the otherworldly gods could permeate the entire universe, influencing and shaping the fates of all things, whether it be the destiny of humans, the movements of star systems, or the rise and fall of the cosmos, all were more or less guided by their will.

And among the twenty-seven otherworldly gods, the most powerful were referred to as the “Pillars.”

Within the otherworldly gods, the old Three Pillars were Origin, Ritual, and End, and after the seal of End, the new Three Pillars became Origin, Ritual, and Infinite.

Thousands of years ago, mortals prayed to the great otherworldly god, the “Master of Ritual.”

The Master of Rituals is the otherworldly god that symbolizes “ritual” and “antithesis,” possessing the reverse powers of the majority of otherworldly gods and controlling all ritual powers in the world.

And finally, he answered the prayers of the mortals who were still gods, bestowing upon them a ritual that could activate the power of Bloodline.

Numerous mortals grew strong one by one through the activation of their Bloodline powers, and soon after, they successfully overthrew the Four Dragon Kings who ruled the world.

In the time that followed, the Bloodline Extraordinary Exponents fought a prolonged and brutal battle until only a handful emerged, dividing the entire world as powerful Quasi-gods.

Yet, the gods who became Quasi-gods were still not content.

They aspired to become True Gods of the Claud World, to attain true immortality!

Thus, they made a pact with the Chaos Constellation among the otherworldly gods, utterly betraying the future of their planet to grant a few the possibility of godhood!

And from then on, any Extraordinary Exponent who managed to reach the level of Quasi-god would inevitably be envied and suppressed by those who became Divine… The “Witch of Demise” and the “Source of Magical Beasts” were the biggest victims.

“So that’s how it is.”

Chris fell silent, now understanding that the “Chaos Constellation” was a disaster brought forth by the ancient gods.

The contract.

All because of such sins.

He continued to read and was startled by the records regarding “End.”

The recorded “End” was the most powerful destructive otherworldly god, representing the ultimate destruction of the infinite universe, devouring all, destroying all, obliterating everything at the end of the river of time.

To avoid the destruction of the infinite universe, fully half of the otherworldly gods joined forces, replacing “End” with “Infinite” through a terrifying plan.

The Fischer family of this time loop already knew “Lord of the Lost” was “End,” yet were clear He would not destroy the world; instead, He would bring a new dawn to the world of Claud after its night.

Karl, too, learned much about the truth of the Chaos Constellation from Chris.

“So, what does all this have to do with the God of Reforging?”

Regrettably, there were no records of the God of Reforging to be found in the relics of the Stars Embrace Order. Since the gods had already sold out the world of Claud to the “Chaos Constellation,” where did the God of Reforging come from?

——

Decades passed quickly, and the Fischer family of the second loop had long reached an unattainable position.

The snowball effect.

Once you gain an initial advantage in life, the snowball gets larger as it rolls, and the edge becomes more and more pronounced.

They had already taken control of the entire Eastern Four Kingdoms, and Lucius, Irene, and Byrne had all survived. Meanwhile, each of them had reached the Eighth Tier of their respective paths, their power incomparable to that of their previous lives.

The Seventh Tier and the Eighth Tier of the Path of Conquest are the “Bloody Slaughterer” and the “Star Sword,” respectively. The former possesses the Extraordinary trait “Bloody Slaughter,” growing stronger with each killing, while the latter’s Extraordinary power is “Star Strike” and “Shatter,” which summons a meteor during an attack and causes a bursting effect inside the enemy, respectively.

The Seventh Tier and the Eighth Tier of the Path of Knowledge are the “Professor” and the “Destruction Scholar,” respectively. The former’s Extraordinary power is “Inheritor,” which speeds up others’ mastery of power, while the latter is the Spellcaster Consecution with dozens of powerful Spells.

The Sixth Tier, Seventh Tier, and Eighth Tier of the Path of Divine Sacrifice are respectively the “Devout Priest,” the “Exorcist,” and the “Faith Bishop.”

The Devout Priest comes with a “Faith Shield” as an Extraordinary trait—the more devout you are, the stronger the shield, and after each devout prayer, the shield immediately restores to its original state. The Exorcist has more than a dozen Spells, all powerful rituals aimed at evil and the undead. As for the Eighth Tier’s Faith Bishop, they wield powers of healing and banishment, and possess a terrifying trait “Faith Body.”

As long as one’s belief in God is strong enough, they can resurrect through the “Faith Body.” Although it has only one opportunity per year, it remains very powerful.

By that time, Karl had already successfully unraveled The Eighth Seal.

This time around, the God of War Emperor of the Seven Stars and several members of the Heavenly Enlightenment of Lorne were still alive, and the event of “Mechanical Descent” had not yet occurred, and the Fischer family collectively decided to attack the Reforging Church under Karl’s command!
