Deep within the Giant Elephant Mountains, the Giant Elephant Temple.

White Lady's figure floated into the central main hall.

The hall was filled with many books.

Some recorded the origins and history of the Giant Elephant Demon Race's wandering, others contained secrets of the Endless Star Sea.

Another set of books involved the High Priest's research on astrology and prophecy.

And there were also books on the power inheritance of the Giant Elephant Demon Race.

White Lady had a clear objective, and her mind power immediately locked onto the section of books that recorded the secrets of the Star Sea.

With a subtle movement of her fingertip, one thick book automatically floated up, its pages flipping on their own without wind.

After browsing through a few pages, White Lady's gaze tightened, and without a moment's hesitation, she sent a snowflake to cut through the book, reducing it to dust instantly.

"What are you trying to hide?"

A cold voice rang from behind.

Cyriel entered the hall, her ice-blue eyes fixed firmly on White Lady's back.

Outside the hall,

Ares stood holding his battle axe.

White Lady turned to glance at Cyriel but did not respond.

Then, her figure faded into the snowflakes and vanished, reappearing outside the temple in the blink of an eye.

"I will report this to His Majesty honestly!"

Cyriel looked at the faint blue figure outside the hall and spoke in a low voice.

"You better explain it to His Majesty personally."

Once White Lady's presence completely disappeared, Cyriel walked up to the pile of completely destroyed books.

It had been destroyed beyond repair; no information could be recovered.

She turned her gaze toward the other books that recorded the origins of the Giant Elephant Demon Race.

At that moment,

Lucio and Philip rushed in.

Their goal was naturally the astrology books left behind by the High Priest.

Although they had studied tarot and astrology for many years, they were still too young compared to the ancient High Priest.

Their previous brief confrontation had drained half of their life force, which demonstrated the High Priest's terrifying strength.

If they could obtain his insights, it would undoubtedly provide huge benefits for their future paths.

The two of them quickly found the core books left by the High Priest and were overjoyed.

They ordered those who had followed them to carefully package all the books, preparing to transport them back to the Empire.

...

Suggwoth arrived at the astrology platform at the core of the mountains.

There, he discovered a blue eggstone covered in law engravings!

At the same time, his attention was drawn to the nine sculptures on the astrology platform.

Each one depicted a strange long sword exuding boundless murderous intent!

He noticed this because the sword in the sculptures looked very similar to the one in the Oblivion Wastes.

In fact, it could be said to be identical!

However, it was certainly not the same one.

From the records on the sculptures, it was evident that this Cursed Sword had caused countless deaths in an ancient world.

It had even threatened the survival of the Giant Elephant Demon Race, bringing about great disaster!

In the end, a powerful member of the Giant Elephant Demon Race had stepped in to repel it.

There were no further records after that.

Suggwoth ordered the Void Warlock to carefully cut the entire astrology platform and prepare to transport it back.

After all, the same Cursed Sword had existed in the Endless Years.

If there was indeed some dark hand behind it, laying a cross-time scheme, it would be a terrifying, vast conspiracy.

The blue eggstone, covered in engravings, was also sealed separately.

The resources accumulated by the Giant Elephant Demon Race were not abundant.

Among them, three items were the most valuable.

One was an ancient star disk engraved with ancient symbols.

Another was a magic stone with light-absorbing properties.

And the third was the mysterious law-engraved eggstone.

...

By the Giant Elephant River,

Lucio looked at Suggwoth and analyzed,

"General, our forces are currently at the rear of Silver City, we can have the legion move south, creating a pincer attack with the forces advancing toward Sky Province, and destroy Silver City in one fell swoop!"

"We need to finish things up here quickly."

Philip added,

"The Empire's eradication of the Giant Elephant Demon Race has removed a major threat to the Abyss Demon Realm."

"Now, both the civilians of Dawonru and Demonwing Empires have shifted their stance towards the Empire, and some are even considering aligning with the Empire."

"If we seize this opportunity to destroy Silver City and eliminate Dawonru's core of rule, their civilians will naturally fall in line."

"The Crossbridge Empire will no longer need to spend excessive effort on appeasement and governance."

Philip paused, seemingly considering something.

"With the Giant Elephant Demon Race destroyed, the Holy Kare Mountains will definitely notice."

"Whether it's the Council of the Dark Order or other forces, once they begin paying attention to the Empire, they may strike!"

"Only by stabilizing the situation here can the Empire fully prepare for future threats."

Upon hearing this, Lucio nodded in agreement.

"Besides, our army is already stationed here!"

"To the southeast, we can directly target the Snail Sea."

"To the northwest, we can preemptively defend the Sablecliff sector."

"We can turn the entire Dawonru Empire into a frontline defense protecting the Eura continent!"

After listening, Suggwoth fell into deep thought.

Since the battle at Black Edge City,

The Crossbridge Empire's campaign against the Giant Elephant Demon Race had been hailed as a righteous crusade by the creatures of the Abyss Demon Realm!

The hatred the demon realm had for the Giant Elephant Demon Race was immense, and the goodwill brought about by the Crossbridge Empire's eradication of them was just as great.

Adding to that, the Demonwing Empire and Dawonru Empire had sided with the Giant Elephant Demon Race at a crucial moment, which had deeply chilled the hearts of countless civilians.

Especially those survivors who had escaped the jaws of the Giant Elephant Demon Race, their hatred was all-consuming.

Suggwoth knew this well.

He quickly made his decision and issued orders.

He commanded Harry to lead part of the forces immediately toward the northwest to establish a defensive line.

He ordered War Bear to lead another legion toward the Snail Sea to launch a pincer attack on the Demonwing Empire.

Ares was tasked with leading forty thousand True God rank titans and other main forces to assault Silver City.

Even if Silver City had the Empire's magic circle for protection,

Ares, with his power to slay Saints, and his Immortal Divine Body, would be more than enough to serve as the spearhead to break the city.

Not to mention that White Lady was stationed there!

As for the Temple of Truth's defection,

No matter what hidden motives were behind it, the Crossbridge Empire could now make use of it.

Suggwoth himself would lead another forty thousand True God rank titans and an elite force to strike from the east,

Taking White Sea Territory and marching straight toward the Demonwing Empire's border.

...

Demonwing Empire, Border Command Center.

Dorrak looked at the damage report in his hands, his expression dark.

The powerful Silver Legion had always been the pride of the Demonwing Empire.

However, after just a brief encounter with the Crossbridge Empire forces at the edge of the Apharo River,

They lost over thirty percent of their troops in just one clash!

And they hadn't been able to inflict any substantial damage on the Crossbridge Empire forces.

Even more terrifying,

The entire legion's morale had been shattered, their will to fight completely broken!

Every soldier who had experienced that battle could only replay the terrifying images of the titans crushing the Giant Elephant Demon Race warriors in their minds.

"General!"

A commander burst into the command center, panic in his voice.

"The Crossbridge Empire legion has appeared outside the border!"

"And… the giants are with them!"
