After dismissing the ministers,

Aurek sent another decree to the frontline of the demon realm, ordering Suggwoth to closely monitor the progress of the Empire's warforging efforts.

Only then did he take Beyoncé to the Supreme Sanctuary.

The little girl might just be the key to exploiting Kaos's weakness.

If it weren't absolutely necessary, he didn't want to resort to that method!

He just hoped Kaos would keep his word and not have any other, undesirable thoughts!

Each side had their own needs, and as long as they were all well, it would suffice.

Beyoncé's appearance immediately caught the attention of Josephine, Belinda, and others.

A little girl so bold yet adorable, she was indeed a rare sight.

"I'll leave her in your care,"

Aurek said to Josephine.

Josephine nodded in agreement.

Aurek then entered the sanctuary again, preparing to use the resources of the Divine Sanctuary's treasury to push for a higher rank.

He had to take control of the Abyss demon realm and gather a large number of Emperor Points before the arrival of OlympianGod Mountain.

Even though Kaos, this mysterious powerhouse, had allied with him, his purpose was unclear, and his strength unpredictable.

Aurek would never place the future of the Empire in such an uncertain factor.

Only his own strength and that of the Empire would be the unshakable foundation.

Aurek kept taking divine pills, god-tier potions, holy liquids, and other resources directly, consuming them.

He extracted the energy for his ascension while observing the ancient traditions engraved in the hall.

His rank rapidly advanced until it reached the near-Sacred Radiance rank!

Moonshine Hall.

Everyone was gathered around a little plump child—Beyoncé!

She held a divine herb in one hand, munching it greedily in a few bites, and in her other chubby hand, she held several bottles of magic potions, popping them into her mouth like candy, crunching away happily.

She chewed while curiously eyeing Josephine, Sophia, and the others with her wide eyes.

"This child is eating so much... doesn't she need to digest it?"

Belinda, who was very fond of Beyoncé, gently wiped the corner of her mouth.

Elizabeth calmly responded.

"She's a Sacred Radiance rank powerhouse."

Divine Radiant!

For a moment, Josephine, Sophia, and the others looked at Beyoncé in shock.

How old is she?

Her strength was already at an unimaginable height.

What Elizabeth didn't explicitly mention was that Beyoncé wore the Primordial Draconic Gem, the Divine Pearl, the Law Treasure, and the Sacred Melody Agate...

Each of these items was extraordinary!

This also hinted that her identity was far from simply coming from the Abyss demon realm!

After all, Elizabeth was well-traveled and knew many secrets.

"Let her eat; it's not like she can consume that much."

Josephine smiled as well, but a thought began to form in her mind.

"Maybe I should have a child too."

Can she really not eat that much?

Elizabeth, Sophia, and the others exchanged glances, their eyes filled with doubt...

Godfall Gorge.

Stillness Sage and Starbound Savant stood in the void outside the passage, gazing at the shattered sky and earth below. Their mind power slowly swept across the entire Eura continent.

"The outer barrier of this world is surprisingly strong, and the rules and origins are incredibly complete,"

Starbound Savant remarked as he sensed the difference in this lower realm.

Especially the world barrier, which served as the framework and cornerstone of the world.

The stronger it is, the better it can survive the chaos and turmoil of the starry river.

A strong barrier can resist the devastating attacks of super-powerful beings without causing the origin to collapse and become irreparable.

No wonder the Dawonru Empire tried every possible way to manipulate it.

Stillness Sage nodded.

"If we can activate its complete rules, this world will become a true sanctuary. But right now, it still lacks some key elements."

Buzz—!

At that moment, a whirlpool suddenly appeared before them.

Chuck stepped out of it and bowed to the two of them.

"I am Chuck, a court advisor of the Crossbridge Empire, here to welcome you, my lords."

The two also returned the courtesy.

Before setting off, they had already learned about the legal and institutional system of the Crossbridge Empire, so they knew that a court advisor was an important official.

They secretly sized up Chuck.

His rank was low—just a Divine Envoy rank.

But the aura around him was no simple matter, even more solid than some True God realm experts.

It was a strange contradiction that puzzled them, but they did not ask directly.

"Please,"

Chuck gestured for them to follow.

In the blink of an eye, they had teleported to the Imperial Academy in Eryndor City of the Crossbridge Empire.

The academy spanned dozens of miles, with buildings towering and continuously stretching like mountain peaks.

A grand Imperial Library stood at the center of the academy, majestic and imposing.

"My old friend..."

Stillness Sage's gaze turned toward the sky as he quietly reminded Starbound Savant.

Starbound Savant also extended his mind power to probe.

Before even reaching the Gold Giant Gate, the two were stopped by an invisible barrier and could not peer inside.

That area was completely sealed off by a powerful restriction, one that even the ancient Divine Radiant Stillness Sage could not see through.

They could only see a towering, vast giant door that seemed to connect to the edge of the starry sky.

It appeared close, but in reality, it seemed as if a world separated them.

"Lord Chuck, I hope you don't mind me asking... What is that place?"

Starbound Savant asked.

Chuck smiled and replied,

"That is the Imperial Palace."

"Imperial Palace!"

Starbound Savant's eyes flashed with surprise.

"Please, come in."

Chuck led them into the Imperial Academy.

Gloria, dressed in a clean white dean's robe, embroidered with the Crossbridge Empire's emblem, greeted them.

"These two are the deans of the academy, Stillness Sage and Starbound Savant."

Chuck introduced.

The two old men bowed in return and noticed that Gloria's rank was only at the near-God General level.

A trace of doubt and slight disdain flashed in their eyes.

Chuck smiled knowingly and added,

"Dean Gloria has been transferred from the Imperial Palace's Moonshine Hall, where Princess Fiona also resides."

"If you need to convey any messages, perhaps Dean Gloria can help with that."

This casual mention immediately enlightened the two elders, and the flicker of disdain in their hearts faded away.

Gloria did not deny or feel awkward.

She already knew that both of these individuals were Sacred Radiance rank experts, with one of them being an ancient Divine Radiant, close to Divine Oracle level.

With her near-God General strength, she naturally couldn't expect these powerful beings to place their trust in her.

Thus, Aurek's authority was incredibly important at this moment.

It was like a sword of power, one that even an ancient Divine Radiant had to carefully consider.

"Both of you have profound insights into magic. Please guide the students in the academy. It will be their lifetime honor,"

Gloria had already arranged everything.

"Profound insights are an overstatement, but I've lived longer than most,"

Stillness Sage smiled peacefully, his demeanor calm.

"Please allow me to show you around the academy."

Gloria, Chuck, and several other academy officials accompanied the two elders into the Imperial Library.

As soon as they stepped inside, the two old men were taken aback.

It felt like they had entered a separate world of books.

There were more books than they could ever count—hundreds of millions of volumes.

They casually took two books. The contents weren't particularly profound, but they were drawn from all sources and helped supplement their understanding of the world's truths.

The students cultivated in this environment would not be ordinary.

The only challenge was finding suitable mentors to guide them.

The scale of this library moved them, and for the first time, they witnessed the depth of the Crossbridge Empire!
