Aurek's gaze was fixed directly on Elizabeth, as though trying to read the credibility of the information in her eyes. Unfortunately for him, all he saw was calmness and a faint smile in her expression.

She felt a slight sense of satisfaction; she had finally managed to stir some emotion in the man!

"However…" Silvina's tone shifted.

"I possess methods and trump cards that would allow us to resist the God Mountain when it arrives," she continued. "But the prerequisite is that we must first unify the entire continent of Eura."

"I know that you, Your Majesty, have mysterious means to cultivate powerful legions. If you cooperate with me, leveraging the secrets and powers I hold, together, we can sweep across the continent and face the God Mountain."

As for the specific methods and trump cards, that was Silvina's core secret, one she would not reveal. However, she needed to incorporate Aurek's profound war potential into her plans. She had to secure his cooperation first, to gain a better understanding of his true intentions.

Aurek stood up and looked down at the flowing Kahua River beneath him, a barely perceptible curve appearing at the corner of his mouth.

The God Mountain?

God realm.

The multiverse.

Countless covetous onlookers.

Ten years, a hundred years…

Perhaps, when they truly arrive, they will receive an unexpected "surprise"!

It seems I must accelerate the unification of the Eastern Domain!

Moreover, Silvina's confidence, her bold claim that she could confront the God Mountain's army of Grand Divine Clerics, and even her intention to unify the continent, all pointed to one thing—she must possess some extraordinary power or method. It was clear that Aurek needed to keep a close watch on her.

This woman's ambitions were far grander than he had imagined!

But he was not worried.

He had enough confidence and capability to control the initiative of this game!

"Cooperation must be based on equal strength. I can muster tens of thousands of legions. How about you?"

"You think you can use my strength just by talking?" Aurek asked, his gaze sharp.

Silvina responded calmly.

"When the time comes, Your Majesty will understand. But time waits for no one. Only by acting quickly can we seize the advantage."

"Otherwise, once the God Mountain or any other force turns its gaze upon us, it will be too late."

Seeing no substantive information, Aurek stopped pressing further.

Truth be told, if Silvina had not revealed anything, he would never have realized that this empress was hiding so much. She might be in possession of some formidable trump cards.

If he rashly moved against her, it could lead to a huge setback.

But now that she had already exposed part of her intentions, it worked out very well for him.

Once he had a clear understanding of her full plans, the first person he would deal with would be this woman.

He must completely erase the Selene Empire!

And...

Action had to be swift to avoid any complications.

Of course, Aurek needed Golden Armor to arrange for elemental assassins to thoroughly investigate.

Meanwhile, he would continue to nurture millions of Stellar rank warriors, even those at Sage rank!

Only then could he crush her forces with overwhelming might, leaving her no chance to resist!

The two continued to converse for a while, even discussing the half-scroll of prophecy—the Song of the Gods Awakening!

Silvina knew that the half-scroll of prophecy was the Song of the Gods Awakening, a True God-level holy scripture from the God realm. Even in the God realm, such a relic was extremely precious. Though only half of it existed, it was still a rare and invaluable treasure.

She knew Aurek held this half-scroll and had no intention of asking for it.

She understood that the price for such a divine object was beyond her means to pay, at least not without revealing her own trump cards.

Soon after, Aurek left, his stance on the matter remaining unclear.

Silvina watched as the imperial carriage disappeared in the distance, a meaningful smile curling on her lips.

"Aurek!"

"One day, you will bow before my feet!"

Valoria Palace.

The figure of Golden Armor silently appeared.

Upon Aurek's departure, he immediately issued orders.

"Send elemental assassins into the Selene Empire at once. The more, the better. They must uncover all of Silvina's secrets and then lie in wait for further instructions."

"Additionally, send some operatives to the Filo Empire, Pood Empire, and Goldflow Empire. Anyone on the list that needs to be eliminated—do it immediately."

Golden Armor accepted the orders and quickly went to make arrangements.

The information Silvina had revealed made Aurek even more cautious!

The soldiers of the Divine Cleric level clearly demonstrated the might of her forces!

However, as long as he was given enough time, he had no concerns.

Once the entire continent of Eura was unified, the empire's national fortune would be vast and boundless!

At that point, he could easily promote any minister with a noble title and have them rival even a Divine Cleric or High God!

Of course,

Since the God Mountain and other forces had already locked their sights on the Eura continent, the timing of their arrival was uncertain. This left him in a somewhat passive position.

However, based on Silvina's hints, it seemed unlikely that they would come soon.

As for how long "soon" truly was, Aurek didn't know!

But even if it wasn't in ten or a hundred years, just three to five years would be enough for him!

"God Mountain!"

Aurek actually found himself looking forward to the clash.

He retrieved the half-scroll of prophecy—Song of the Gods Awakening!

Before he could begin his study, the Heart of the Holy Spirit suddenly stirred.

The divine patterns on its leaves began to glow, emitting an extraordinary divine aura.

Aurek took out the Heart of the Holy Spirit and attempted to use the divine patterns on its leaves to meditate and comprehend.

By a stroke of luck, he found the method to decode the Song of the Gods Awakening!

Previously, he had been unable to understand it because the holy scripture required divine patterns and divine energy as the foundation for cultivation.

Since the Heart of the Holy Spirit had been nourished with divine blood, it was imbued with a strong divine nature, naturally triggering the resonance with the holy scripture.

Ancient golden runes flew out from the old scroll, merging into Aurek's spiritual sea, forming a small golden figure that evolved various miraculous techniques and energy paths.

Aurek tried to channel his magical energy according to the paths shown, discovering that the energy consumption of the Song of the Gods Awakening was more than a hundred times faster than ordinary combat skills or secret techniques!

Meanwhile, with an ample reserve of points, Aurek began to push for higher rank levels.

In the following month,

Ordon Theocracy spread the news about Crossbridge Empire possessing tens of thousands of Stellar rank warriors across the Eastern Domain.

The Eastern Domain was immediately stirred, and all eyes turned toward the previously neglected fallen empire.

Numerous factions sent spies into Crossbridge Empire to investigate its true strength.

At the same time,

The internal situation of the empire had been completely stabilized.

Apart from continuing to nurture attribute warriors and handling necessary state affairs, Aurek devoted himself to advancing his own rank.

Having successfully visualized and condensed the Conqueror, Endless City, Nine Holy Emblems, and Twelve Judgement Knights, he went further to condense powerful divine aspects like the Supreme Royal Palace, Supreme Boundaries, Glory of Authority, and the Holy Divine Contract.

By materializing these laws and willpower into tangible divine aspects, he broke through to Stellar rank and directly ascended to Stellar rank lv4!

On the other side, Josephine had not been idle.

She visited the royal treasury and retrieved the defense barrier cores seized from several half-Overlord Rank factions. With Gloria's help, she arranged them at key positions in Eryndor City.

Before long, the number of attribute warriors had surpassed five hundred thousand,

With nearly three hundred thousand at level 9.

This meant the empire now had three hundred thousand Stellar rank warriors at its disposal!
