Two months passed in the blink of an eye.
The ancient inscriptions were once again imprinted on the Gold Giant Gate, and the law's marks were perfectly integrated. Aurek's mind power seemed to transform into countless pieces, merging with the world projections created by those inscriptions, together forming absolute control over the Gold Giant Gate.
Most of his Emperor Points had been consumed, and the core essence of the Sanctuary had been absorbed. Aurek's rank had now reached the semi-Sage King rank, with deeper comprehension of the Emperor's Code, Supreme Radiance Origin God Scriptures, and Starry River Elemental Scrolls.
However, to fully attain the Sage King rank, he still required more time to accumulate.
Currently, the vast resources in the Sanctuary had not been fully utilized. He had allocated only a portion to Josephine, Suggwoth, and others, consuming very little. These resources were enough to support his breakthrough to the Sage King rank, and even higher levels!
One of the hallmarks of the Sage King rank was the complete blooming of the Heart of God.
When the Heart of God bloomed, the individual became a sacred Sage King! At that point, their life tier would be aligned with the laws of the universe.
The Heart of God would merge with the laws, reflecting those laws within the internal world, making it incredibly difficult to destroy. This was why the White Lady, despite being cursed, possessed an almost immortal life—because her life essence had transcended the mortal realm's limits.
Although Aurek was only at the semi-Sage King rank for now, he had absorbed the ancient inscriptions and the essence of Eura's laws. He found that he possessed an almost effortless control over the laws of this continent. Combined with the immense power of the Empire, he now had the ability to slay a true Sage King, enough to contend with even the strongest Sage King-level beings.
The higher the rank, the more the gap between each small tier of power and law mastery increased, but the fundamental strength of Eura's origin power, together with the Empire's might, had created a bridge of laws that spanned the heavens.
Additionally, in the past two months, the Emperor's Scepter had birthed nearly 74 million various summoned troops!
Among them, 25 million were Frostbound Warlocks at level 16, all at the God General rank! There were also about 25 million Elemental Assassins and Void Warlocks at level 15.
Now, the Sanctuary did not just contain a few hundred thousand troops but millions—soon, an infinite holy legion!
If this destructive power were unleashed on the Dawonru Empire...
Would the Abyss Demon Realm tremble in response?
Aurek speculated in his mind, but he was certain this power would be enough to sweep away any force below the level of a Divine Empire!
He felt excitement stirring within him.
It was time to officially move the Empire's core into this Celestial Divine Empire!
Aurek stepped out of the Gold Giant Gate!
With a wave of his arm, the Gold Giant Gate shattered space, rising into the sky above the Fasior Plains.
The domain was instantly sealed by the ancient inscriptions that appeared on the gate, deeply rooted in the Void. Even the stars that approached from outside the sky were drawn in by the gate's laws, merging with the outer spaces of the clouds, forming an absolute law zone where no one could intrude.
Boom!
The entire Eura continent shook, the sound of the laws echoing through the heavens as divine light poured down from the sky. A vast, holy aura spread down from the heavens.
The Gold Giant Gate vanished into the mist formed by the ancient inscriptions, unseen by mortals. Even the mind power of a Sage King could only make out a blurry exterior, unable to glimpse the true scene inside.
Valoria Palace.
Alice gazed up, feeling an overwhelming pressure unlike anything she had ever experienced!
Josephine, Sophia, Belinda, and the others looked on in delight, eyes filled with anticipation as they watched the sky.
Lucy, Gloria, and Elizabeth also observed the spectacle.
They had all entered the Sanctuary before and knew what lay beyond the gate.
Winston, Heimerdinger, Harland, Chuck, and other high-ranking officials looked on with confusion.
Countless civilians stared at the sky in awe, though most could see nothing.
Boom!
Another tremor reverberated.
High in the sky, a divine staircase formed from the evolution of the laws extended down, piercing through the cloud sea and reaching the earth.
"In the name of the Emperor of the Empire, the Guardian of Eura, and the Master of the Laws, Aurek!"
"The Empire's divine mandate protects all life. This is the eternal covenant recorded in the stars!"
"Today, the portal to the Celestial Realm opens. The Empire will protect the world's foundation, maintaining peace and order until the end of time…"
With Angie's resounding voice echoing, a Divine Gate swung open with a crash.
Behind it stood two rows of God General rank warriors, standing in solemn formation!
The entire Valoria Palace sprang into action.
"Your Majesty, what is happening?" Tracy asked, perplexed.
Queen Belinda smiled gently. "The Celestial Sanctuary has officially been established. We're moving there."
"Come with me, and you will see."
Tracy was even more confused but did not ask further, as Belinda had no intention of offering more explanations.
Tracy had helped her a lot, and now Belinda was willing to take her along into this sacred domain.
Many handmaidens who were not permitted to ascend looked on enviously.
The next morning, under the gaze of the world, Aurek stepped first onto the divine staircase.
Josephine, Sophia, Elizabeth, and the others followed closely behind.
That day, countless women from the palace ascended to the Celestial Sanctuary.
Among them were saintesses from ancient orders, female leaders of powerful factions, and even the queen of a certain empire...
Each one was beautiful and extraordinary, with an aura that set them apart.
It was as if the goddesses had descended upon the earth, shaking the hearts and minds of all who witnessed them.
All the handmaidens allowed to ascend stopped before the Celestial Sanctuary, staring in awe at the grand, divine spectacle before them.
Alice, Tracy, Maria, Isabella…
And the many stunning handmaidens following them…
Everyone gazed at the glorious, holy palace of the Celestial Sanctuary, their minds sinking into the splendor.
Even Josephine and the others, who had been inside before, felt their hearts shaken anew.
"Long live the Emperor! The Empire endures forever!"
At the sides of the Celestial Sanctuary's passage, countless attribute warriors knelt on one knee, their voices shaking the heavens.
Aurek, holding the Emperor's Scepter, steadily ascended the divine staircase.
Queen Belinda and the others followed, reaching the top of the twelve-tiered Celestial Sanctuary.
This was the authority Aurek had gained after initially taking control of the Sanctuary.
Had he truly ascended step by step, it would have taken countless years to reach the topmost Heavenly Dome Sanctuary.
The Heavenly Dome Sanctuary was the core forbidden area of the Celestial Sanctuary.
No one was allowed to enter without special permission.
Aurek instructed Josephine to oversee the arrangements.
At the same time, he issued an imperial decree, ordering the Empire's officials to convene in the newly established Celestial Council Hall.
Meanwhile, the Dawonru Empire had completed its full mobilization and deployment.
Tens of millions, even hundreds of millions, of troops had arrived at the borders of the Sapphire Dominion and Demonbone Dominion.
The Empire's war machine was ready to go!
The Demonwing Empire, the Giant Elephant Demon race, and other forces, though stirring, were firmly held in check by the Dawonru Empire's preemptively deployed forces.
The entire Abyss Demon Realm seemed to have fallen into an eerie silence, with countless powerful figures observing in the shadows.
The suffocating atmosphere loomed over every living being.
