Summoning Millions of Gods Daily, My Strength Equals Theirs Combined

Chapter 459: Chapter459-The Council Falls, the Empire Feasts

An advance force of one hundred million God King–rank legions charged ahead, breaking straight into the Holy Kare Mountains and the Yuli sectors.

Any power that had once allied itself with the Council of the Dark Order was dealt a devastating blow.

At the same time, the great army invaded every subordinate world under those factions’ control, incorporating them all into the territorial dominion of the Crossbridge Empire.

With James dead, the fortunes of the Council of the Dark Order were immediately swallowed up and merged into those of the Crossbridge Empire.

…

Sky Garden.

All councilors, senior officers, and directors were suppressed by Aurek.

The estates and forces of the eighteen Swords of Order were likewise wiped out one by one by imperial legions and newly submitted powerhouses.

Only the astrologers of the Court of Prophecy seemed to have sensed the danger in advance—they had long since vanished without a trace.

Suggwoth, Hunter Harry, and the other generals led their armies into Sky Garden.

Sky Garden was a realm unto itself. Its scenery was breathtaking—birds sang, flowers bloomed, and every structure was extravagantly luxurious.

The materials used in its construction were without exception rare treasures beyond price.

“Where is the treasury?”

Aurek’s voice was cold and indifferent.

Behind him, the three quasi–Sage Lord puppets, already enslaved by Soul Law, respectfully guided Aurek into Dark Hill.

Dark Hill was the true forbidden ground of the Council of the Dark Order.

Previously, it had always been personally guarded by the Dark Sage Lord himself.

The deepest foundations of the council were hidden here.

The resources displayed in Sky Garden accounted for only one third of the council’s total accumulation.

This place, however, held the remaining two thirds—and they were the most precious and most ancient of all.

The treasury itself was an independent small world.

The entire world was piled high with resources.

Sacred herbs and legendary magic plants grew in vast swathes, stretching like endless grasslands.

Holy pools and divine fluids gathered into rivers, lakes, and seas—vast beyond measure.

Even a few Authority Divine Elixirs still remained.

Rare divine ores, ancient god-metals, and all kinds of top-tier materials were stacked into towering mountains.

The quantity of Elemental Sacred Crystals was so immense it was impossible to count, forming what looked like entirely new mountain ranges.

Legendary potions and top-grade elixirs were likewise inexhaustible.

This was the accumulation of the Council of the Dark Order over several million years!

It was wealth plundered from countless subordinate worlds, the abyssal demon realm, and even the star seas beyond the heavens.

Its scale was at least billions of times greater than that of the Silver Empire!

Even Aurek felt a trace of shock in his heart.

The gap between an empire and a Divine Empire had already grown this vast.

Then the gap between a Divine Empire and those Divine Court–level powers that ruled the star seas must be not merely billions of times greater…

But tens of thousands of billions—utterly beyond imagination!

Aurek used the Law of Space to peel the entire small world away, transporting it wholesale back to the Aetherian Sanctuary.

Within the treasury world were many other rare wonders.

There were sacred fruit trees infused with laws, ancient enlightenment trees that could assist in sudden comprehension, star-bound archaic woods that connected to the firmament, and entire gardens of legendary magic herbs.

All of these were carefully transplanted. In the future, they would greatly enrich Moonshine Hall.

Among the inheritance left behind by the Council of the Dark Order, several treasures stood out above all others.

First, a World Relic — the Ouros Disc.

Second, Artifacts of Authority — the Dark Sacred Armor and the Dark Blade.

Third, a movable holy land — Sky Garden itself.

Fourth, a wondrous object containing the origin of the star sea — the Origin of Darkness.

Sky Garden was itself a semi-plane evolved from vast sky-bound magic arrays, fused with world laws.

It could automatically absorb law-origin energy and power from the outer star seas, converting them into pure magical energy—making it an exceptional site for advancement and cultivation.

As for the Origin of Darkness, it was the core of Dark Hill and the very treasure the Dark Sage Lord had brought back from the star seas.

It was a primordial source of rule and order, a manifestation of star-sea power itself—and it was precisely this object that had created the Dark Sage Lord.

For Aurek, this was an opportunity of unparalleled magnitude.

For others, the Origin of Darkness would be almost impossible to absorb.

But Aurek, relying on his unique attributes and the imperial fortune of the empire, was confident he could extract its essence.

With the Origin of Darkness as support, combined with all the resources of the Council of the Dark Order, as well as his vast prior reserves of Emperor Points, he could see the dawn of advancing to the Sage Lord rank!

Even if it still proved insufficient, the passage to the god realm had already been opened by the enemy.

As long as the Heavenlight God Realm was taken, resources would certainly be enough!

Now, all that remained was to conquer the many subordinate worlds controlled by the Council of the Dark Order.

Once that was done, the entire abyssal demon realm would be fully incorporated into the territory of the Crossbridge Empire.

This long-drawn-out planar war would finally come to an end.

Although the abyssal demon realm had been shattered beyond recognition, its world laws possessed the ability to repair themselves—it would only take time.

Aurek glanced at the information panel.

[Destroyed the Council of the Dark Order and the Judicatory Sanctum. Emperor Points +53 quadrillion…]

This harvest included the destruction of the council itself, as well as the total gains from the earlier wars on the Eura Continent and the front lines of the Heavenlight God Realm.

This amount alone was enough to raise the authority of certain summoned troop types to Level 19.

Which meant that the empire would soon possess fully organized Sage King–rank legions!

Add to that the foundation of an entire small world, the accumulated wealth of Sky Garden, the Origin of Darkness, and the World Relic Ouros Disc…

It could be said that the Crossbridge Empire had received nourishment beyond imagination through this war.

The acquisition of a World Relic alone massively strengthened the empire’s foundations.

No matter how complex the situation in the Heavenlight God Realm became, the empire now had more than enough capital to intervene.

Aurek remained in Sky Garden for three days of recuperation before departing.

All councilors were placed under soul restraints—those meant to be enslaved were enslaved, and those who deserved execution were decisively put to death.

…

“I truly never imagined that a Divine Empire–level council that stood for millions of years would be destroyed just like that.”

“Even a Sage Lord fell in blood… What level of power does it take to be truly invincible?”

The Prologue Sage gazed at the magnificent Sky Garden, emotion surging in his heart.

The Ashen Lord and the other reclusive Divine Radiants stood silently for a long time, their thoughts in turmoil.

A lower-realm empire had truly annihilated a Divine Empire–level power of the demon realm—such a feat could only be described as unprecedented in all history.

Even now, it still felt like a dream.

At the same time, they felt immeasurably grateful that they had chosen to stand on the side of the Crossbridge Empire from the beginning.

The legend of this emperor might only just be beginning.

The vastness of his greatness, the depth of his potential and ambition, were beyond imagination…

Where his gaze extended seemed to be an unimaginably distant future!

All present were intelligent people; they could already glimpse a corner of what was to come.

The White Lady stood upon the shattered firmament.

Her sapphire-like eyes gazed toward Sky Garden, as though countless ancient secrets lay hidden within them.

“Next… it’s time to truly make contact with them.”

She murmured softly, her voice dissolving into the wind.

The war in the abyssal demon realm had ended, and the flames of war in the Heavenlight God Realm had already been ignited.

She knew Aurek would never stop here.

And that was precisely what she had been waiting for.

The Heavenlight God Realm would be the beginning of many ancient secrets—and the arrival of the true opponents.

…

Heavenlight God Realm.

Boom!

Across the vast territories outside Ael Fortress, Ironcrown Fortress, and Sacred Light Fortress—

Rupert and his seven great generals led an enormous army of seven to eight hundred million troops, completing the encirclement of the three fortresses!
