Immortal Supreme: Sovereign of the Grand Dao

Chapter 209 Aftermath: Work of the Fate Gem

209  Aftermath: Work of the Fate Gem

In the heart of the Central Continent, where the most powerful forces of the Mortal Emperor World converged, the radiant golden-purple light captured the attention of figures who held dominion over realms.

The luminous display rippled through the fabric of reality, a beacon signaling the alignment of forces prophesied to lead to the Ascension of the Mortal Emperor World.

A council of the most formidable beings in the world assembled, their gazes converging upon the Southern Continent.

A venerable figure, with the wisdom etched into the lines of their ageless face, spoke, "The day foretold is upon us. Prepare for the fusion of all continents and the Ascension."

Orders were given to prepare for the aftermath of this extraordinary event, as the impending fusion held the potential to reshape the very foundation of their world.

The Southern Continent forces only have an incomplete prophecy of the New Age.

"... accompanying the heavenly phenomenon is the inevitable fusion..."

-----

Above the Mortal Emperor Realm, in a realm transcending mortal understanding, nine dragons emerged from the depths of a mystical sea.

Their scales shimmered like constellations as they fixed their gaze upon the void.

One among them, their leader, spoke with a voice that resonated with the echoes of space, "This is the sign foretold by the Lord. It is time to find the young prince."

The dragons, guardians of ancient wisdom, began a journey across the celestial expanse, guided by the mystical forces that governed their existence.

Meanwhile, in the Mortal Emperor Realm, a palpable aura of the Heavenly Dao descended upon the land.

This force, a manifestation of cosmic order, rippled through the very fabric of reality. It was a call that reached even the deepest recesses of the immortal realms.

"What sort of phenomenon is this?!"

"The threads of Fate are moving."

----

In a realm beyond the grasp of mortals, the Spirit Empress, attuned to the delicate balance of cosmic energies, sensed the disturbance.

Her immortal heart was quickened with concern.

"This is it," she murmured to herself, the realization of a long-prophesied event.

Without hesitation, the Spirit Empress summoned her ethereal servant.

"Go," she commanded.

"Descend to the Mortal Emperor Realm. Find that Arthur and Freya. Protect them from what is to come."

The servant bowed and said, "But Empress, I thought this was not the right time?"

"That was before the original flow of fate was disturbed for some inexplicable reason and now my little junior sister will get noticed by the heavens."

The Spirit Empress spoke will some concern as even she wondered what went wrong as her servant listened.

.....

In the hidden dimension, a voice echoed, "My son, has he triggered that troublesome power again? No, it's not him, but something else..."

The enigmatic words lingered in the mystical space, leaving behind a sense of anticipation and mystery.

Meanwhile, Arthur found himself at the center of an escalating celestial phenomenon.

The radiant power that had descended upon him continued to flow, but now, he noticed a peculiar shift.

'What's going on?' he wondered.

More of the cosmic energy was streaming into his own body, and less was being absorbed by Freya, who had entered an unconscious state of cultivation.

As the golden-purple light intensified, Arthur sensed an unusual resonance in the Fate Gem within his soul.

'So this is all your doing? But why?'

The fate gem trembled lightly and Arthur felt some gentleness almost as if it was communicating to him to stay calm.

'Fine, let's see what happens then...also...'

'I trust you.'

The fate gem stirred with a subtle vibration, and an invisible force plucked something from the cosmic void and dropped it into the depths of Arthur's soul.

Before he could unravel the mystery of this sudden addition, the celestial phenomenon abruptly ceased.

However, the celestial display didn't end there.

In the Mortal Emperor World, the eye of the Heavenly Dao opened in the sky, a colossal orb scrutinizing every soul beneath its gaze.

"What?!"

"The Eye of the Heavens descended?"

16:03

"This was not spoken of in the prophecy."

Many mighty figures were disturbed but stayed silent and unmoving in dread.

The power of the heavens was one that was imprinted in every soul to never resist or face complete annihilation.

An oppressive stillness settled upon the land as if time itself had frozen.

Every being, mortal or otherwise, was subject to the scrutiny of this divine eye.

Suddenly a divine light glowed from the eye that appeared and it scanned the entire world.

As soon as this light shines every being in the continent regardless of cultivation level froze in time except one person.

Yet, amidst the suspended animation of all souls, Arthur disappeared from view.

Although he was sti standing where he was he became invisible and hidden from time and space and Arthur sensed the power of the gems covering him.

The eye of the Heavenly Dao scanned the emptiness left by his absence, unable to discern his whereabouts.

It lingered begrudgingly before closing with an air of frustration.

Arthur reappeared in the same spot, seemingly untouched by the celestial inspection that had frozen all other life.

The golden-purple light had subsided, leaving behind a lingering sense of cosmic energy.

In the hidden dimension where the Spirit Empress observed, she was taken aback by the unexpected turn of events.

The celestial disturbances had settled, and she pondered what force could have saved Freya from the potentially cataclysmic event.

She thought long and hard on what could be the origin of what happened and her thoughts finally settled on the only one she can't clearly explain.

This was her instinct rather than her divine sense, but she was inclined to believe it for some unexplainable reason.

"Could it be... Arthur?" she mused, her eyes narrowing in contemplation.

The unexpected intervention aligned with the anomalies surrounding the enigmatic young man.

Back in the Southern Continent, everyone awakened from the frozen state with a mix of relief and awe from those who had witnessed the celestial spectacle.

Anastasia, her eyes wide with wonder, couldn't help but blurt out, "What in the heavens just happened?"

Arthur chuckled, his expression revealing only a fraction of his own bewilderment.

"I have no idea. It seems like fate has decided to make things interesting."

Anastasia looked around, the echoes of the cosmic disturbance still reverberating in the air. "Do you think it's over?"

Arthur's gaze flickered with uncertainty. "I doubt it. This is just the beginning."

As the Red Sky Faction members gathered, Helia spoke thoughtfully, "Well, those things above we can't control. But young master, this will change a lot of things for you."

"I know."

....

Far away, in her hidden dimension, the Spirit Empress continued her contemplation.

"Arthur, what secrets do you carry?" she wondered, her intuition prompting her to settle on this conclusion with no solid evidence.

Was this just some intuition or was something else involved in it?

I wonder...
