From Secret Clan to the Divine Dynasty

Prime Minister William spoke in a grave voice, "Councillors, the power of the Seven Stars Emperor has exceeded our imaginations. His every move could potentially disrupt the balance of the entire continent. We must unite the many forces to confront the impending storm."

"Compared to the future's vast threat from the Cyart people, the Seven Stars already loom over us like a hanging blade!"

"In a few decades, we will easily uproot the Fischer family, even if they possess potential for growth... but for now, we must destroy the catastrophe that is the Seven Stars!"

"Otherwise, Lorne faces the risk of annihilation!"

In those hidden, ancient libraries and mysterious secretive organizations, the powerful discussed in shocked whispers.

Across the Ouden Continent, whether it be the overt nations and powers or the hidden strong and wise, all felt an unprecedented pressure in the face of this sudden mutation.

They understood that the Seven Stars Emperor was going to become even more powerful, and his future decisions would deeply affect the future direction of not only the Ouden Continent but also the Claud World.

An unparalleled storm was quietly brewing.

——

As the entire continent was plunged into shock and fear due to the changes in the Seven Stars Emperor, a delegate from the Seven Stars Empire, dressed in magnificent and solemn attire and riding a carriage driven by the finest magic, crossed numerous checkpoints to finally arrive at the heart of the Cyart Kingdom—the territory of the Fischer family.

When the envoy of the Seven Stars entered Nasir City of the Fischer family, they were greeted by the family's young and wise heir, Austin Fischer.

"Welcome, envoy of the Seven Stars."

He was the eldest son of the current Queen of Cyart and the nation's future heir, receiving the envoy of the Seven Stars with a demeanor that was both polite and slightly wary, speculating quietly about the true intentions of their visit to Cyart.

In the grand hall of Fischer Manor where the official meeting took place, the Seven Stars Envoy first expressed their respect for the Fischer family, then swiftly transitioned, formally conveying the will of the Seven Stars Emperor:

"Respected Fischer family, His Majesty the Seven Stars Emperor deeply appreciates your family, noting not only your distinguished position in the Cyart Kingdom but also your significant contributions to maintaining peace on the continent. Therefore, His Majesty has decided that he wishes to establish a closer alliance with the Fischer family to jointly face the war that the Lorne citizens are about to initiate."

Christine sat in her wheelchair, a flicker of surprise crossing her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

She well understood that the Seven Stars Emperor's decision was well-grounded; on one hand, it was due to the recognition of the Fischer family's strength and influence, and on the other hand, because both parties were now common enemies in the minds of the Lorne citizens.

Christine also realized that allying with the Seven Stars Empire meant gaining more resources and support, though it could also involve her family in the upcoming great war.

Having lost the support of the Lorne citizens, the Fischer family indeed needed many resources to expand their influence...

Would helping the God of War Emperor of the Seven Stars achieve the Heavenly Enlightenment Level ultimately benefit the Fischer family?

Or would it be nourishing a source of future trouble?

After careful consideration, Christine responded with a demeanor that was both cautious and confident: "Thank you for the deep love and trust of His Majesty the Seven Stars Emperor. The Fischer family is always dedicated to maintaining the peace and prosperity of the continent, and we have a positive attitude towards any cooperation that contributes to the peaceful future of the Ouden Continent."

"However, as the head of the Fischer family, I must ensure that this decision aligns with the long-term interests of our family. Therefore, I hope to engage in deeper communications with your country to jointly discuss the specific terms of the alliance and the potential impacts it may bring."

The Seven Stars Envoy, after hearing this, revealed a satisfied smile.

He was very clear in his heart that the response from the Fischer family had already laid a solid foundation for their future cooperation.

"Very good."

"His Majesty will be very pleased."

"Actually, he needs something, something from Cyart, but he cannot come to fetch it himself... thus, he greatly needs the help of the Fischer family."

"What is it?" Christine inquired.

The Seven Stars Envoy smiled.

"The core of the Aether Giant Dragon."

"What?"

"Yes, the Aether Giant Dragon itself."

Upon learning from the envoy of the Seven Stars Empire that the final key to the Seven Stars Emperor's ascent to the Heavenly Enlightenment Level was the legendary core of the Aether Giant Dragon, she instantly sank into an unprecedented depth of somber contemplation.

The Aether Giant Dragon was considered a mythical creature from the ancient times on the Ouden Continent, its power so immense it could shake the heavens and earth, and its core contained endless energy and wisdom, sought after by countless extraordinarily powerful experts.

"We need to discuss this..."

"Of course."

With the arrival of the Seven Luminaries Envoy and the proactive response of the Fischer family, an alliance concerning the future framework of the continent was quietly forming.

And all of this would show even deeper influences after the powers of the Seven Stars Emperor further awakened.

Inside the grand hall of the Fischer family, the lights were bright, the atmosphere tense and serious.

"The Seven Stars Emperor wants our help to obtain the core of the Aether Giant Dragon?"

Austin's voice carried deep concern as he said, "The Aether Giant Dragon is definitely of the Heavenly Enlightenment Level, it's somewhat risky."

Christine immediately said, "The immense benefits our alliance with the Seven Stars Empire would bring are significant. The Seven Stars Emperor's power is awakening, his influence and strength are growing day by day. If we can become his ally, it would undoubtedly greatly enhance the Fischer family's influence on the continent, as well as bring us a vast amount of resources."

"The most important thing is, as long as the people of the Seven Suns Empire and the Lorne citizens are adversaries, it will buy us more time."

The opinions of the family members gradually diverged until it came time to vote.

Eventually, under the chairmanship of family head Christine, the Fischers reached a consensus through voting:

"We, the Fischer family, have decided to ally with the people of the Seven Suns Empire and assist him in acquiring the core of the Aether Giant Dragon. This will mark another significant decision in the history of the Fischer family."

In fact, only one person was the key.

That was Chris Fischer.

The Aether Giant Dragon had the formidable presence of the Heavenly Enlightenment Level, and among the Fischer family, only Chris possessed the potent strength to confront or even kill those of the Heavenly Enlightenment Level. Your next read awaits at My Virtual Library Empire

When he was ready, he would assist the Seven Suns Empire in obtaining the Aether Giant Dragon's core.

It was the first encounter of the Seven Luminaries Envoy with "The Death God of Cyart," Chris Fischer, and just upon seeing him, he immediately felt that inhuman aura.

Although not as majestic and luxurious as His Majesty, it bore a chilling, austere deadness that made it impossible to look directly at.

Of course, the first thing the Fischer family needed to do was... find out where the Aether Giant Dragon was located.

However, the Seven Luminaries Envoy soon revealed a shocking secret.

"Actually, you have always had access to the path leading to the Aether Giant Dragon's lair here, but you have never known. Think about it, isn't there an entrance to the Spirit Realm nearby?"

"That legendary ancient dragon resides deep within the Crystal Palace."

"So it is." Christine realized.

The Fischer family were learning for the first time that near Nasir City in the nearby forest, that entrance linking to the Spirit Realm—to the deepest part of the Crystal Palace—is where the Aether Giant Dragon had long made its nest.

Christine murmured to herself, "I never thought we were always so close to the real Heavenly Enlightenment, yet it could never show itself in the Spirit Realm because even there, entrance is still restricted by the powers of the Gods."

"So when do we leave?" the Seven Luminaries Envoy asked.

"We mustn't rush," Chris suddenly spoke.

His words immediately precluded any further questions.

Becoming a Heavenly Enlightenment, Chris's status had risen even higher than before—now except for a Divine Oracle from the Lord of the Lost, no one else's words could surpass Chris's.

Indeed, everyone was quite aware that hunting a Heavenly Enlightenment was an unprecedented event for the Fischer family.

So, there was no rush.

Thus, in the days that followed, cooperation between the Fischer family and the Seven Stars Empire deepened, as both sides together prepared for the hunting of the Aether Giant Dragon.
