mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Divine Carapace was an ancient godly armor forged from a fragment of an ancient world’s colossal tortoise’s spirit, its physical form made from a sliver of that creature’s shell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It possessed three layers of defense: the Sacred Tortoise Luminmark, the Shadow of the Holy Tortoise, and the Aegis of the Sacred Tortoise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A titled Master Rank cultivator could activate the Sacred Tortoise Luminmark to withstand a portion of a Grandmaster Rank strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one’s strength was sufficient, one could further invoke the Shadow of the Holy Tortoise or even the Aegis of the Sacred Tortoise, raising its defense to a level capable of enduring the attacks of a Saint Rank being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In its ultimate state, it could even resist part of a natural calamity—and at its peak, it could defend against a blow from a god.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder Sacco had been able to survive Aurek’s repeated assaults.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Aurek’s current strength, he could already activate the Shadow of the Holy Tortoise, granting him the ability to withstand an average Stellar Rank attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ranks beyond transcendence grew increasingly unfathomable; Aurek still couldn’t precisely gauge what level of attack a Stellar Rank could unleash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But one thing was certain—the stronger his power, the greater the Divine Carapace’s defensive might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, the Divine Carapace’s protection even surpassed that of his Black Dragon Scale Armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However... once the Black Dragon scales’ divine art reached completion and the empire’s power advanced further, this ancient armor would inevitably fall behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, one was capable of continual enhancement, while the other’s upper limit was fixed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some time, Aurek withdrew his mind power, then retrieved the Solar Sword and the Runic Dagger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Solar Sword was a superior-grade SS-level weapon, though still far from the SSS-level divine armament Glamer Holy Sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, within a quasi–Overlord Rank faction, this sword would be considered an heirloom of priceless worth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurek intended to entrust it to the Golden Armored Knight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wielding such a sacred weapon would greatly enhance its ability to break through enemy defenses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the higher the rank, the stronger the power—and correspondingly, the more terrifying the defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary weapons would never suffice against such enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Runic Dagger...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without the unkempt old man’s control, the dagger floated before Aurek, guided solely by his mind power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, it shone as a faint speck of light, then gradually condensed into a delicate short sword, shorter even than a standard blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An aura of pure, concentrated killing intent radiated outward—so intense that the surrounding space itself seemed to fracture beneath its edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through mental resonance, Aurek quickly discerned its nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dagger had been forged from celestial blacksteel, infused with the sword will of a Stellar Rank powerhouse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It contained a sword intent capable of cleaving through the void—its strikes imbued with devastating destructive force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With sufficient energy to sustain it, it could easily annihilate the divine aspect incarnations of Grandmaster Rank opponents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were all truly fearsome treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Emperor Point +130,000,000!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sudden notification drew Aurek’s attention to his system panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he had slain hundreds of prodigies and their guardians—each one at Peak Master Rank levels eight or nine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them were over a dozen half-step Grandmasters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he had also killed the Grandmaster Rank powerhouse—Silas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The harvest in Emperor Points was staggering—over one hundred million in total!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared with his previous gains, this was an enormous leap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though advancing beyond Titled Master Rank required energy in the billions, this bounty was still enough to push him several steps forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such immense rewards were well within Aurek’s expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at the system again—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor’s Scepter: Fourth Evolution Requirement — 5,000,000 Points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his current reserves, the fourth evolution could now be completed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Majesty?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Josephine noticed his distant expression and spoke softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you still worried about the empire’s situation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurek drew back his thoughts and looked ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t answer immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already foreseen the empire’s current predicament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Elemental Assassin had long informed him of the kings’ movements and the various factions’ intentions in full detail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This so-called Sanctuary Prayer Ceremony—he realized—would likely mark the day they declared their independence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My dear Josephine,\" Aurek said slowly, \"I am not worried at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"On the contrary—everything is unfolding exactly as I planned.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If they do not rebel, if the powers behind them remain hidden in the shadows, then cleaning them up would actually be troublesome.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The empire’s future does not depend on the eighteen hundred city-states themselves—but it does require the foundation and accumulation they’ve built.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Aurek did not say aloud was this:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Summoning and evolving military units demanded vast quantities of Emperor Points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the empire’s rebellious children... were the perfect source of those points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they had schemed and waited for millennia, he might as well grant them their wish—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let them rebel, and in doing so, reveal every lurking wolf and tiger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they all showed their fangs, he could wipe them out in one decisive sweep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the new kingdoms that would arise around the empire’s borders would naturally serve as buffers—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Barriers between the Crossbridge Empire and the surrounding mighty empires.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they established their nations, they would inevitably face the crushing pressure of those neighboring powers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those kingdoms and empires were not like the previously hollowed-out Crossbridge Empire;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>their royal lineages were ancient and terrifying, their consolidated power unimaginable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And since the burden of that pressure would fall upon the newly formed kingdoms,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the Crossbridge Empire, at the center, would be spared from direct confrontation—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>avoiding premature clashes with the blades of those other great empires.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By first pacifying internal strife—subduing the kings and the factions supporting them—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurek would harvest enough Emperor Points to fully evolve the Emperor’s Scepter,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>then reforge his dominion over the entire empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When that time came, he would effortlessly crush every neighboring kingdom and empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Crossbridge Empire would not only become the sole Overlord Rank power in the Fasior Plains and Bimat Highlands,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but also the supreme ruler of the entire Eastern Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Josephine could not fully grasp every detail, yet she could feel the boundless ambition radiating from Aurek’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that she was his wife, she no longer questioned his plans—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>all she needed to do was support him with unwavering faith.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, she gently reminded him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Majesty must remain cautious of those quasi–Overlord Rank factions within the empire.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They have existed for tens of thousands of years. Their foundations run unfathomably deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each of them already possesses the accumulation of an Overlord Rank force—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>with no fewer than a hundred thousand Peak Master Rank elites,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>countless Grandmasters, and even Stellar Ranks or Saints among their ranks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurek’s eyes narrowed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know this much?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Josephine nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My mentor once told me... these factions pursue not worldly kingship,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but the favor of the Goddess of Fortune, endless longevity,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and the chance to step into the realm of the gods.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This path inevitably defies the world itself,\" she continued softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When mortals attempt to shatter the bounds of fate, the world retaliates with calamity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When a Stellar Rank cultivator pierces the void, or when a Saint attains unity with heaven and man,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they stand in defiance of the natural order—and the heavens will strike them down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For those without sufficient strength, the only outcome is death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only those powerful enough to resist can ascend into the divine domain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, some factions lack the foundation to survive such a tribulation,\" Josephine explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So they discovered another method.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They nurture empires—supporting nations that gather national destiny and imperial fortune,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>using the combined strength of their kingdoms to offset the punishment from the heavens—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a means to help them transcend the calamity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as their foundation is deep enough, they can gradually step toward true godhood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That,\" she concluded, \"is why those near-Overlord Rank factions are so desperate to establish new kingdoms—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>to solidify national destiny and accumulate the power of their realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They even seal away Peak Master and Grandmaster Rank warriors who can no longer progress,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>preserving them as part of their faction’s eternal foundation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1372,"2026-05-30T04:13:42.445Z","2026-06-01T04:30:17.337Z",1,"novelbin.me","5881fe14e548da1fa5288d82a0f5afc84ff869e7eb1033bf9b3781b69edd62f5","summoning-millions-of-gods-daily-my-strength-equ-chapter-190","summoning-millions-of-gods-daily-my-strength-equ-chapter-188",690,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsummoning-millions-of-gods-daily-my-strength-equ-cover.jpg"]
