Summoning Millions of Gods Daily, My Strength Equals Theirs Combined

Chapter 648: Chapter648-The War Council Hall’s Final Verdict

At this moment, the gathered experts were like frogs at the bottom of a well.

Even if their understanding of reality were overturned, they still could not imagine how any of this had been accomplished.

Dawn Ripper’s gaze was as sharp as a blade.

“Don’t think too much about it. Our top priority right now is to deal with the armies of the Crossbridge Divine Court as quickly as possible. The faster, the better!”

“In addition, a portion of the Crossbridge legions had already secretly infiltrated Endless Starlight Isle earlier. To ensure nothing goes wrong, while we wait, we should root them out and wipe them out completely.”

A quasi-Eternal Sage-rank from Celestian said, “We’ve already dispatched people to search for them. The investigation is in full swing.”

…

Within Endless Starlight Isle, deep in the Arcane Godsea, stood the War Council Hall.

It was a palace suspended beneath the starry dome, each seat carved from dazzling star cores and hovering in the void.

Beneath the seats was a crystal-like floor, clear as a mirrored surface, reflecting the radiance of the stars above.

A figure sat upon every seat.

Seated at the head were, respectively, Artharion of Celestian, the God of Old Mysteries of Beaststar Sylvan, the Lord of Oblivion of Oblivion Sanctum, the Fated Monarch of the Fated Royal Court, the Guild President of the Council of Kunkar, the Primordial Sage of the Primordial Ancients, the Lord of the Void of the Ethereal Star Domain, the Guide of the Skyvault Expanse, the Frost Sovereign of the Holy Multitude Alliance, and the Flame Sovereign of the Endless Flame Domain.

These ancient quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks had long surpassed the limits of ordinary quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks, infinitely close to the threshold of the Eternal Sage rank.

And yet, that final step—bearing the Mandate of Heaven and mastering the Fate River—remained impossible to cross, so they had continued to accumulate power through the endless ages.

Throughout the countless starfields of Endless Starlight Isle, their prestige was supreme. Among the innumerable hegemonic powers and Divine Courts, their voices carried the greatest weight.

Back during the war against the invasion of the Primordial River Cosmos, they had also been the core pillars of resistance.

“With the protection of the Endless Starlight Shield, the safety of Endless Starlight Isle is secure for now.”

“The next thing we need to discuss is how to deal with the threat posed by the Crossbridge Divine Court.”

Artharion was the first to speak, his voice calm and steady.

“The secret Aurek possesses is absolutely extraordinary. I suspect those hundred billion Supreme Sage-rank troops are directly connected to that secret.”

“We cannot guarantee that if we continue to delay, he won’t bring out even more forces—or reveal other hidden trump cards.”

“Although the Endless Starlight Shield can protect us, hiding behind it forever is not a long-term solution.”

The Frost Sovereign of the Holy Multitude Alliance picked up the thread, his tone majestic and cold.

“All factions have already brought forth the strength they were supposed to contribute. According to the agreed plan, each force must dispatch at least one quasi-Eternal Sage-rank and no fewer than one hundred Supreme Sage-ranks.”

“On the side of the Holy Multitude Alliance, aside from myself, there will be seven more quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks. As for the other top-tier forces with deep foundations, each has also committed at least half of its reserves.”

“By rough count, we now have around six million quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks and thirteen billion Supreme Sage-ranks.”

Endless Starlight Isle was composed of countless starfields, and the hegemonic powers and Divine Courts with deep foundations were as numerous as the stars.

Even if each power contributed only a single quasi-Eternal Sage-rank, once gathered together, their number already reached as many as six million.

As for Supreme Sage-ranks, they had reached the staggering figure of thirteen billion.

For hegemonic powers such as Celestian, Beaststar Sylvan, and Oblivion Sanctum, a single force possessed fifteen quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks.

And as for the so-called half of their reserves they had contributed, that figure was likely watered down.

No one truly knew the full extent of anyone else’s foundations.

But even without revealing everything, thirteen billion Supreme Sage-ranks were already enough to confront the Crossbridge Divine Court’s hundred-billion army head-on.

Even more terrifying were those six million quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks.

That was the true core force—enough to grind the Crossbridge Divine Court into dust.

The quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks in the War Council Hall all nodded silently.

At that moment, the Lord of Oblivion offered a reminder.

“There are still some hidden forces of the Crossbridge Divine Court lurking inside Endless Starlight Isle. When we make our move, we must also guard against them stirring up trouble in our rear.”

“Leave that matter to us.”

The quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks of Standarin, together with the rulers of the Arcane God Mountain, the Soul Sanctum, and other northern powers, took the task upon themselves.

After all, the chaotic regions were concentrated in the north, which was precisely the territory under their control.

They had no intention of allowing people from other factions to take the opportunity to enter their domains and probe their secrets.

“The Crossbridge Divine Court has already gathered a hundred billion troops in the northern Sea of Chaos. I’ve heard those legions are exceptionally powerful in battle.”

“God of Old Mysteries, I’ll have to trouble you to first lead one million quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks and three billion Supreme Sage-ranks to join up with the four hundred thousand quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks and one hundred million Supreme Sage-ranks already stationed in the north. Go out and test the combat strength of the Crossbridge legions and find out what they’re truly capable of.”

He paused, then continued.

“Fated Monarch, lead two million quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks and five billion Supreme Sage-ranks. Set out immediately from the edge of the eastern chaos starfield, open a Star-realm Gate, circle around to the Sanctuary of Rebirth, and cut off the Crossbridge Divine Court’s retreat from behind.”

“All the others will proceed to the north and await orders. Once the God of Old Mysteries has finished probing them and the Fated Monarch has reached the designated position, we will act together and wipe out the Crossbridge Divine Court’s hundred-billion army in one stroke within the Standarin Universe.”

“Does anyone have any objections?”

The Primordial War God General laid out the agreed plan step by step.

Part of the forces would engage the Crossbridge Divine Court’s hundred-billion army head-on, drawing out whatever hidden backhand Aurek might still possess.

Meanwhile, the two million quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks and five billion Supreme Sage-ranks circling around to the rear would deliver a fatal blow by surprise.

The arrangement was simple and efficient.

After a brief moment of contemplation, the quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks all nodded in agreement.

However, the Lord of the Ethereal Star Domain spoke with deep meaning in his voice.

“After wiping out the Crossbridge Divine Court, we must capture Aurek alive and seize the secret he carries.”

“And that secret should be brought back to the council hall and shared openly. Otherwise, when the time comes, no one will trust anyone else.”

The moment those words were spoken, the gazes of many quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks became subtle.

Compared to destroying the hundred-billion army, what they cared about more was the secret on Aurek’s person.

The reason they had been able to form an alliance so quickly this time was not merely because of the threat of the Crossbridge Divine Court, but also because every single one of them coveted that so-called secret of Eternity.

Whether it could truly grant eternity was beside the point. So long as the secret was enough to drive people mad, that was enough.

Artharion, the God of Old Mysteries, and the others exchanged glances, then all nodded.

“Before it is brought back to the council hall and shared openly, whoever dares to keep it for themselves shall be attacked by all.”

“Then let us depart at once, everyone!”

“Agreed…”

Very soon, one quasi-Eternal Sage-rank after another, shrouded in the light of fate, flew out like shooting stars.

…

In the northern region of Endless Starlight Isle,

the army attacking the Endless Starlight Shield had already increased to one hundred billion.

This was precisely the full extent of the Crossbridge Divine Court’s openly deployed forces, all pressed onto the foremost front line.

Within the Standarin Universe,

the Swordsea Sacred Platform drifted over the Sea of Chaos.

Aurek’s mind power remained fixed at all times on the opposite end of the Sea of Chaos.

The Swordsea Saintess, like the lowliest of maidservants, spoke in a hushed and respectful voice.

“Your Majesty, the Endless Starlight Shield is a method left behind by certain mysterious taboos from the distant past. Using the source power of the Arcane Godsea as its foundation, it was formed by fusing together the Fate Rivers of the countless starfields of Endless Starlight Isle, then reinforced by the special methods of the various powers.”

“This shield once withstood the Rivera demon race from the Primordial River Cosmos.”

“No matter how many quasi-Eternal Sage-ranks there are, they cannot break it. Unless an existence that has reached the Eternal Sage rank makes a move!”

“And even for a true Eternal Sage-rank, it would still be difficult to force their way into Endless Starlight Isle, whose foundations are unimaginably deep.”
