This matter concerns the fate of the continent.

Without hesitation, he immediately entered the deep passage to investigate.

"This strike must have affected the portal, and the Abyssal Demon Realm has probably already noticed,"

Eureka, despite his intense hatred towards the shadow clan's slaughter, did not reveal himself. Instead, he hid and silently waited.

He knew that the Abyssal Demon Realm's army would soon invade the Eura continent.

There was no need for him to rush out and die; he quickly concealed his presence.

Joanna had also foreseen the situation and sneered coldly.

Many strong figures who knew about the crack in the portal were filled with solemnity and worry.

"The gateway to the god realm has vanished, and the powerful figures from the god realm cannot descend."

"If the Abyssal Demon Realm attacks, can the Eura continent withstand it?"

Chiusen felt a deep sense of gravity in his heart.

The war thirty thousand years ago had been so brutal that it almost wiped out the continent's top-tier experts.

And that had only been a trivial army sent by the Abyssal Demon Realm!

If the portal opens again and the demon realm's forces invade, the entire Eura continent would fall into ruin.

Dorothy remained silent, unsure of what to say, but secretly prayed that the portal would not be discovered.

Philip stood in the void, gazing deep into the canyon, his heart weighed down with worry.

...

Crossbridge Empire, Eryndor City, Paris.

Aurek was deeply focused on meditation.

With the help of the massive Emperor Points, he had easily ascended to Divine Envoy rank, overcoming the corresponding natural disasters.

In three days, he had successfully nurtured 76,800 level 12 titans and 38,400 level 11 Doomsday Warriors.

At that moment, a notification popped up on his information panel:

[Slayed a large number of enemies, Emperor Points +3.27 trillion...]

[Summoned unit casualties: 700]

[Emperor Points sufficient, do you wish to upgrade summoning unit authority?]

[Yes] [No]

...

After scanning the information panel, Aurek felt a surge of confidence.

The battle with the shadow clan had indeed been worth the effort, yielding results beyond his expectations.

He hadn't realized just how deep the shadow clan's roots were.

Along with the Emperor Points earned from pacifying the Eastern Domain and defeating Highland Royalty, he now had enough to upgrade the titans again.

Currently, the titans were level 12.

Once upgraded to level 13, they would ascend to Divine Cleric rank!

And they could be birthed at a rate of over 51,200 Divine Cleric rank units per day!

This was a terrifying number, one that would instill fear in all enemies!

With this thought, Aurek couldn't help but feel impatient.

After wiping out the shadow clan and Highland Royalty, sweeping through the Eura continent's three thousand domains would be an achievable goal.

"Everything will be handled by Suggwoth!"

Aurek made the arrangements, having Suggwoth oversee the coordination of all summoned units.

He suppressed his urge to upgrade the powers immediately and refrained from making further upgrades.

Once the titans reached level 13 and could effectively counter any potential threats from the god realm or demon realm, he could upgrade the other units later.

At this point, no one on the Eura continent could threaten the Crossbridge Empire. Aurek could confidently leave the war affairs to Suggwoth and the others.

The expansion of Eryndor City was also in full swing.

Lucio, Tina, and Harry had returned to Eryndor City, bringing the Purification Divine Spring and the Crystal Holy Tree with them!

Josephine, Gloria, Lucy, and Sophia all rushed over upon hearing the news.

The overwhelming divinity left everyone in awe.

"So this is the legendary Purification Divine Spring!"

The maid Tracy said, her voice full of disbelief.

She had heard of the legend of this divine object—it was something everyone on the continent longed for but could never attain!

And now it had been brought directly to the imperial palace, becoming the private property of the Crossbridge Empire!

It would become a resource for Josephine and the others to use at will.

To be honest, even she felt a twinge of envy.

Princess Belinda...

A hostage from a defeated empire, originally thought to be a mere sacrifice, had ended up with such an extraordinary fate, making all the women in the palace jealous!

Even Princess Belinda, along with her maidservants, had come to witness it.

"Your Majesty, where should we place the Divine Spring?"

Lucio asked, bowing to Josephine.

Josephine paused, thought for a moment, and said,

"Let's place it in the Royal Forest Garden!"

The Royal Forest Garden had now become a restricted area within the palace, and no one dared enter except royal family members.

Placing the Crystal Holy Tree there, nourished by its supreme divinity, would create a unique and sacred space!

Lucio accepted the order, and immediately gave instructions to have the Divine Spring and the ancient tree transplanted into the garden.

Josephine and the others moved into the Royal Forest Garden as well.

"Sophia, you should stay in the palace for a while."

"Not only will it be convenient for your mentor to guide you in your ascension, but you can also use the Purification Divine Spring to enhance your strength."

Josephine looked at Sophia.

Aurek had specifically ordered that Sophia could freely enter and exit the palace, a privilege.

She had access to resources equal to Josephine's.

"I've heard that the Divine Spring is incredibly miraculous, so I won't hold back!"

Sophia smiled, revealing two charming dimples.

Gloria and Lucy exchanged a smile.

Now, they too had to benefit from their student's fortune!

...

Selene Empire.

Catherine returned to the Selene Palace to report the events of the Fallen Canyon.

In truth, Elizabeth had already known.

The terrifying fluctuations from the Divine Cleric rank battle could be clearly sensed even in the Selene Empire.

Elizabeth stood still for a long time, silent.

A rare solemnity appeared on her flawless face.

Aurek had become increasingly mysterious and uncontrollable, especially with the appearance of Suggwoth, which made her realize that she could no longer view this man with the same old perspective.

As an emperor herself, she knew Aurek's ambition and understood that sooner or later, he would turn his sights on the Selene Empire.

After deep contemplation, Elizabeth finally gave Catherine an order.

"Lead the empire and the legions recruited from Tylus and other regions to take Albion and the Sacred Dance Lands."

"I will assign four Divine Cleric rank figures to assist you."

Elizabeth had begun to follow the Crossbridge Empire's method, destroying all independent forces within her borders and consolidating their power into the imperial legions.

Catherine expressed concern.

"Your Majesty, isn't it too risky to draw out all four of our Divine Clerics?"

"If Crossbridge Empire attacks, we won't have any Divine Clerics stationed, and the front-line legions will struggle to respond in time."

The Crossbridge Empire and Selene Empire shared a border, and war could break out at any moment.

Now, with the terrifying power displayed by the Crossbridge Empire, Catherine had no confidence left.

The once mighty shadow clan had been easily crushed, with all eight Divine Clerics slaughtered. This was the harsh reality.

"Who told you I only have four Divine Clerics?"

Elizabeth's eyes narrowed with a regal and noble gaze.

"Even if I lose these four, my foundation will not be shaken. You just need to move quickly and take Albion and the Sacred Dance Lands."

"After that, a great battle awaits."

"...A great battle?"

Catherine was confused.

Elizabeth looked toward the sky outside the palace, her tone indifferent.

"The portal hidden in the depths of the Fallen Canyon leads to the Abyssal Demon Realm."

"Thirty thousand years ago, beings from that world invaded, and a great battle erupted in the canyon."

"Once, the Fallen Canyon was a thriving domain but was obliterated into an extinction zone. Now that world will soon descend again!"
